Dong Bai was kicked away, his body flew out, crashed into the wall, rolled down, and spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground.
Ning Hongxi had already dismounted and walked towards Dongbai.
To his left, right, and behind him followed twenty or thirty soldiers, each wielding a long sword, who approached Dong Bai.
Dong Bai grabbed the longsword from the ground, knelt down on one knee, and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth—as she said, for Ye Qingxue and the child, she would fight to the last moment of her life no matter what.
Zhan Shuang and Yu Xiao wanted to come to the rescue and stop Ning Hongxi's advance, but they were also entangled by the soldiers and could not get away.
At this moment, the entire world seemed to turn completely blood red, and the stench of blood permeated everywhere.
In the midst of this "silence," a chair was thrown out of the window and flew towards Ning Hongxi.
Ning Hongxi raised his sword and slashed, shattering the chair into pieces. The fragments fell to the ground, and he looked up to see Grandma Liu standing by the window. It was Grandma Liu who had smashed the chair.
The old man was now looking at him with righteous indignation!
Ning Hongxi narrowed his eyes, his killing intent sharp, and with the tip of his sword he picked up a splinter of wood and hurled it directly at Grandma Liu!
Grandma Liu never even considered dodging, and with her frail body, she couldn't possibly dodge it anyway. In the blink of an eye, Qiu Shen rushed over from the side with his sword, cleared away the wood chips, and saved Grandma Liu's life.
But for Ning Hongxi, this was just a minor incident. Holding his longsword, he continued to press towards Dong Bai.
Dongbai grabbed a strand of hair from her temple, bit it between her teeth, and stood up, blood still dripping from the tip of her sword.
At this moment, she was like a fallen leaf, about to be swept away by the raging wind, but even so, she stood firmly here, in front of Ning Hongxi.
"Kill her." Ning Hongxi said calmly. As before, he never took Dong Bai seriously; she was nothing more than an ant.
The soldiers' longswords drew ever closer to Dong Bai.
Death was drawing ever closer to Dongbai.
But just then, a shrill voice came from outside: "Prime Minister, spare his life!"
Whose voice was that? It sounded familiar! But Ning Hongxi didn't care; he directly thrust his sword at Dong Bai!
She was surrounded by swords aimed at killing her! Dong Bai gritted her teeth and swept her sword out, dodging the soldiers' swords, but she couldn't dodge Ning Hongxi's sword!
"Whoosh!!!"
An arrow pierced the air and struck Ning Hongxi's arm. The longsword, which was only an inch away from Dong Bai's heart, fell to the ground.
The surrounding soldiers were shocked. They stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction from which the arrows came, their eyes wide with disbelief.
However, Ning Hongxi ignored him. He bent down to pick up the longsword and thrust it at Dong Bai again. Another arrow came flying through the air, this time hitting the back of his knee. He knelt down on one knee, and the arrow failed to pierce Dong Bai.
This time, he finally looked up in astonishment!
"Prime Minister Ning, didn't you hear Eunuch Huaifu order you to spare his life?" It was Cui Shao who spoke. Yun Zhuo had ordered him to fire those two arrows!
He hadn't intended to fire the arrow, but since Eunuch Huaifu had already ordered a reprieve and Ning Hongxi was still going to attack, he had no choice but to obey Yun Zhuo's orders.
Not only did he arrive, but he also brought two thousand guards from the Palace Guard. Ning Hongxi's soldiers quickly ceased fighting.
Accompanying him was Huaifu, who carried the emperor's edict.
However, before Huaifu could read the imperial edict, Ning Hongxi saw the carriage rushing over. The carriage curtain was open, and he saw Yun Zhuo sitting inside!
Cloud Cleansing!
Ning Hongxi's pupils contracted sharply; he could hardly believe his eyes. Yu Xiao hadn't been lying after all; Yun Zhuo was indeed still alive.
Not only did he survive, but he also successfully entered the palace and even received an imperial edict from the emperor, ordering Cui Shao to bring the palace guards!
This can't be, this can't be, he doesn't believe it, he doesn't believe it!!
At that very moment, the sound of a child crying suddenly came from inside the house, incredibly loud!
Everyone outside was stunned, especially Yun Zhuo, who was stiff all over. He didn't know that Ye Qingxue's amniotic sac had broken prematurely, and thought that he had come here to take her back with her big belly.
And now...she's given birth?
Did she give birth? Was the baby premature?
Ignoring his injuries, he tried to get off the carriage, but his legs were so painful that he almost fell off. In the end, the guards carried him in on a palanquin.
"It's a little prince!" The midwife held the baby in her hands, cut the umbilical cord, and presented the child to Ye Qingxue.
The amniotic sac probably ruptured too early; the baby's skin was a little bluish-purple, but the baby's cry was loud, so there should be nothing wrong with the baby.
Ye Qingxue weakly raised her eyes and vaguely sensed that the child was surrounded by black energy. However, when the child was brought in front of her, the black energy dissipated. Could it be that the light was flickering and she was seeing things wrong?
