Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 1343 - 1350: To Love Is To Trust (6)

"The Emperor——"

"Empress Dowager——"

In the distance, lantern torches illuminated half the sky in red. Yang Yong, leading his men, loudly shouted as they searched for Nangong Yi and Caiwei.

Caiwei stood up, waving the handkerchief in her hand, and shouted loudly, "We are here!"

Hearing Caiwei’s cry, Yang Yong and his men ran over, gasping for breath, and loudly said, "Madam, a messenger has just arrived from the city, saying that Madam Mu is about to give birth!"

Upon hearing this, Caiwei immediately exclaimed, "Really? Who sent the message, and what did the messenger say?"

Yang Yong said, "It was a young eunuch from your household in Mu Mansion who came to report. He said that Madam Mu started showing signs of labor two shi chen ago, and it’s been two shi chen since then. She might have given birth by now..."

Upon hearing this, Caiwei was instantly joyful and commanded, "Quick, issue my imperial decree, prepare the carriage discreetly, I must return immediately to see Mother and Younger Brother."

Nangong Yi hurriedly said, "I will go too!"

Caiwei laughed and said, "All the officials came with you for hunting, and you would leave everyone behind because of your mother-in-law’s labor. This would give those Imperial Historians another excuse to impeach me. Rest assured and stay, I can go alone, you know what I’m capable of!"

Nangong Yi thought about it and had no choice but to stay behind, instructing Yang Yong to prepare Caiwei’s Phoenix Chariot and send several squads of guards to escort her back.

Caiwei said helplessly, "Returning home privately violates palace rules. I initially planned to sneak back. Are you making such a conspicuous arrangement because you want everyone to know I left? Or are you worried those Imperial Historians won’t impeach me? Don’t worry, I can go back quietly by myself. No one can harm me!"

Soon, Caiwei’s carriage was ready. A discreet double-wheeled horse carriage with a green canopy quickly headed down the mountain under cover of night...

On the way, Caiwei sent out Brother Parrot to timely report the situation there.

"Brother Parrot, how is it? Has Mother given birth yet?"

"Master, not yet, but it seems to be soon. The stable woman said she can see the baby’s head..."

Upon hearing this, Caiwei became anxious, itching to see the new little member of her family. If it weren’t still too early in the day, she would have sent the carriage back and ridden the white-haired tiger herself...

"Brother Parrot, has she given birth?" When the carriage passed her family’s manor, she asked again.

Brother Parrot croaked, "—It’s out, the head is out, so ugly, all wrinkled..."

"As long as it’s out, Amitabha Buddha!"

Caiwei clasped her hands together, reciting prayers in her heart. Hearing about her mother going into labor had terrified her; medical conditions in ancient times were very poor, childbirth was always risky, and her family was so harmonious and happy. Her gentle and considerate mother—if anything were to happen, she would be devastated!

"Ga—It’s a daughter, an ugly little girl!" Brother Parrot continued venomously.

Caiwei burst into laughter, her father being refined and elegant and her mother graceful and beautiful; how could they have an ugly daughter? It must be that Brother Parrot had never seen an infant before and mistook the pink little thing as ugly upon first seeing it.

Relieved that her mother had given birth safely, Caiwei calmed down and no longer urged the coachman to speed up. She comfortably chatted with Huan Qiu, discussing how adorable children are!

"Whoosh, Whoosh, Whoosh——"

Without warning, dozens of cold arrows came flying from all directions, instantly killing the horses that were running and the coachman too did not escape, as he was struck by several arrows and fell on the rural dirt road.

Huan Qiu exclaimed in shock: "No good, there are assassins!"
