"Princess, I am incompetent, please forgive me!" Lan Yu knelt before Jun Luoli.
"Useless trash, go and receive your punishment." Jun Luoli's face instantly turned cold.
That bitch actually got away! Humph~ She'd better not find out who it was.
······
"Holy Maiden, she bought the Crimson Phoenix Fan, and I just escorted her out of the Ghost Market through the bamboo forest." The servant appeared in Liancheng's room.
Liancheng was slightly taken aback. "Okay, I understand. You may leave now."
The fourth floor of Jubaoge.
A man dressed in dark blue-black robes stood quietly gazing out the window. His handsome face was cold and indifferent, devoid of any emotion. His deep brown eyes were striking yet aloof, making people hesitant to approach him.
Liancheng gazed at the man she had loved for five years, the man she had given up everything for, just to be by his side. She gradually lost herself in thought, her eyes revealing her love for him.
"Liancheng, is there something you need?" The man didn't turn around to look at her.
She withdrew her gaze from him, her face paling, a hint of sadness appearing in her eyes, though she quickly concealed it.
"Can't I come up to you if there's nothing wrong?" Lian Cheng sat down opposite Ye Qingchen without any politeness.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Liancheng smiled, his lips slightly pale. "Just now, a young girl named Feng Wan bought the Crimson Fire Phoenix Fan."
In the novel *The Tale of Liancheng*, he said that the Crimson Phoenix Fan was very important to him, and he placed it in the Spirit Weapon Hall because he was looking for someone who could use it.
Liancheng once tried to activate the Crimson Fire Phoenix Fan, but the truth is that in her hands, the Crimson Fire Phoenix Fan was no different from an ordinary fan.
"Feng Wan?" Ye Qingchen's voice was low and deep, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
"Moreover, she also possesses a crystal card from Qi Yeyue Tower. Strangely, she claims to be a Earth-level alchemist, but I can't sense any spiritual energy fluctuations from her." Liancheng looked at Ye Qingchen's face, wondering what kind of expression he would have towards that little girl.
"She should be the woman surnamed Feng that you asked Ye Juecha to investigate at Qi Yeyue Tower last time."
He did check, but there was no such woman in the Feng family; Feng Wan was just an alias.
"Liancheng, you should go back to Tianmen Mountain." After saying that, Ye Qingchen disappeared from the room, leaving Liancheng standing there blankly.
She gave a bitter smile, her desolation unspoken.
Snowflakes began to fall again on the street, and pedestrians hurried away.
"Boss, a bowl of wontons, please." Ji Jiuying arrived at a noodle shop by the roadside.
Having only eaten a little in the morning, Ji Jiuying was already starving. Soon after, the owner brought out the wontons, which she ate with great relish.
Suddenly, a carriage sped past, kicking up a cloud of dust and snowflakes, and finally stopped at the corner in front of a mansion.
Ji Jiuying looked at the dust floating in the bowl and instantly lost her appetite. She angrily paid the bill and planned to settle the score with the people in the carriage.
But before she even got close to the carriage, she heard a woman's painful groans coming from inside.
At this moment, a man with a panicked expression ran out of the carriage. "Quickly, go and call the midwife and Xiu'er right now. The lady is about to give birth."
The man was Wen Yan, the head of the Wen family, one of the three great clans.
"Madam, please hold on! I've already called the midwife and Xiu'er," Wen Yan said, choking back tears.
My heart is filled with regret and self-blame.
This morning, my wife said she wanted to see the winter plum blossoms at Yaoguang Temple. He was initially against it, but considering that she was still a month away from her due date, and after her persistent pleading, he finally agreed.
Unexpectedly, the carriage slipped and went out of control due to the heavy snow on the way down the mountain, which startled us.
"Yes, Madam, please don't faint!" the maid cried.
By this time, the woman in the carriage was in so much pain that she was barely conscious.
Wen Longxiu and the midwife arrived at the carriage in a few breaths, lifted the curtain, and a strong smell of blood wafted out.
Wen Longxiu took out blood-tonifying and hemostatic pills and stuffed them into Zhao Feiyan's mouth. "Mother, it's me, Xiuer. You have to hold on. You must persevere for the baby's sake."
Although she was an alchemist, she knew absolutely nothing about childbirth.
At this moment, the midwife said to Wen Yan, "Master, the lady cannot be moved any further in her current condition. She needs to be delivered here immediately."
"Quickly prepare hot water and towels."
At this moment, a large crowd of people had gathered at the entrance of the mansion, and Wen Longting, Wen Chaoye, and a group of servants had also arrived.
"father."
"Yan'er".
"How is Mother?" Wen Longting asked anxiously.
Wen Yan looked pale and worried as she gazed at the carriage. "Xiuer and the midwife have already gone inside the carriage."
The carriage was separated by a simple door, but the situation inside could be heard clearly. The woman in labor was very quiet, eerily quiet.
Wen Longxiu watched as her mother weakly tried to close her eyes, her hands trembling involuntarily. "Mother~ don't sleep, hold on!"
The midwife said anxiously, "This is terrible! The baby is lying sideways, and the lady has fainted. I'm afraid..."
Wen Yan's expression changed, and he tried to rush into the carriage, but was stopped by a group of guards, Wen Chao, and Wen Longting. His eyes were bloodshot and unfocused, clearly indicating that he had lost his mind. "Don't anyone stop me!"
At this moment, the midwife rushed out in a panic and knelt on the ground, saying, "It's terrible! The lady is bleeding heavily, and I'm powerless to help her."
After hearing this, Wen Yan collapsed to the ground...
Wen Longting rushed into the carriage in a panic. Looking at her unconscious mother, her eyes were red and swollen. She grabbed Wen Longxiu's hand, crying, "Sister! Please save Mother! Please give her a blood-replenishing pill!"
"That Mrs. Wen is so pitiful..."
"The Wen family head is known for his infatuation; if anything were to happen to Madam Wen..."
The crowd murmured and expressed their sympathy.
"I can save Madam Wen," a melodious female voice rang out.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked in the direction from which the sound came.
Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, a girl of about thirteen or fourteen years old walked out from the crowd.
The woman wore a black silk dress and a black veil, revealing only her bright, large eyes.
Wen Longting and Wen Longxiu also came out, and a glimmer of hope ignited in Wen Yan's devastated heart. "Miss, can you really save my wife?"
"It's true. My daughter has a way to save the other lady and the child, but there's only a 60% chance. Are you willing to give it a try?"
The onlookers, however, were buzzing with discussion as they looked at Ji Jiuying…
Clearly, they didn't believe what Ji Jiuying said.
In ancient times, when medical conditions were rudimentary, far too many pregnant women died from difficult childbirth. Doctors were generally helpless when faced with pregnant women experiencing difficult labor, and could only rely on the pregnant woman's luck and effort.
But she's an all-around doctor who traveled from the 21st century, and she has a personal pharmacy at her disposal. She can't just stand by and watch this pregnant woman and her unborn child die in such a situation.
