  Chapter 204

  Pei Jingchen hurriedly pressed her onto the bed, his eyes filled with an indescribable tenderness. "Don't worry, the child is fine, it's a eight-pound boy, he just finished drinking milk and is sleeping in the next room now. If you want to see him, I'll get Xiaosu to bring him over for you to take a look. However, after seeing him, don't be sad. Zhan'er looks like me, even your brother said that this child's entire body, except for those eyes with a hint of spirit, doesn't resemble anywhere else."

  Upon hearing the good news about her child, Ming Xuan's tightly knitted heart relaxed a bit. She stroked her chest and sat up straight, grasping Pei Jingzhen's arm tightly and said, "Where is the child? I want to see him!"

  She knew in her heart that Pei Jingchen was intentionally saying some light words to make the tight string in her heart slowly relax, but she really didn't care if Zhan'er looked more like Pei Jingchen or herself. At this moment, her only thought was to confirm that her child was safe and healthy. From the moment she woke up, what had been on her mind was that she had fainted at a critical moment during childbirth and slept for seven days, so this child...

  In a moment, Dan Hong and Xiao Su pushed open the door and entered, one on the left and one on the right, and rushed to Ming Xuan's bedside. Xiao Su was still okay, since she went to study medicine with Dr. Sun, she felt that her future path would be different from that of ordinary women in the back house, and she became more steady, asking Ming Xuan a few questions before starting to take her pulse seriously. Dan Hong, on the other hand, was different, with such a strong and proud personality, but when she saw Ming Xuan, she cried like a small white flower.

  Ming Xuan had the child on her mind, but Dan Hong was also the first maid she was pleased with by her side. Looking at her crying like this, for a moment she felt both angry and amused. "What's wrong? I'm fine, why are you crying? Come, wipe away your tears."

  She had not yet recovered her strength, and her voice was still somewhat hoarse. This sentence was said with some weakness and depression. It didn't stop Dan Hong's crying, but instead made her cry even harder.

  Xiao Su reluctantly said with a slightly stern tone, "Zhan Ge just fell asleep, and Miss woke up. Yan Niang will definitely bring him over immediately. With this wailing and crying, what if it startles Zhan Ge awake? Moreover, Miss has just recovered from her illness and can't bear to hear crying sounds at all. You're usually such an understanding person, don't you know this basic principle? Stop it quickly!"

  She had barely finished speaking when, as expected, Nurse Yan walked in carrying a baby. Dan Hong hastily wiped away her tears with her sleeve and, looking embarrassed, quickly helped Ming Xuan lean against the headboard, then grabbed two more pillows to support her back so she could be more comfortable.

  Ming Xuan knew in her heart that this time she had been unconscious for several days, and was probably frightened by Dan Hong. The more outgoing a person is, the worse their resistance to pressure when faced with such a situation. So when Dan Hong cried like this, although Ming Xuan hadn't expected it, she didn't feel surprised at all, but instead felt a warmth in her heart, thinking that this little girl was even more lovable. Moreover, from what she had heard of Dan Hong and Xiao Su's conversation mentioning Zhan Ge, she was eager to see the child, and didn't think that Dan Hong's sobbing sound disturbed her.

  She saw that Nanny Yan was holding a baby in her arms and had brought it before her, so she knew that the small, wrinkled and delicate person in the swaddling clothes was indeed Zhen Ge. Although she was somewhat out of breath, she still stretched out both hands and looked at Nanny Yan with an imploring expression, "Let me hold him!"

  Pei Jingxuan smiled and took the child from Yan's hand, handing it to Ming Xuan. He then covered her with his broad palm, holding the child steadily and said, "Look, this is our Zhan Geer, what a handsome young man, so spirited!"

  Ming Xuan gazed greedily at the little one in her arms, feeling as if she couldn't get enough of him. Her eyes stared unblinkingly at the child for a long time before she suddenly said, "Nonsense! I think Zhan'er looks more like me. Look at his eyes, eyebrows, and nose - they're all just like mine!"

  Pei Jingchen was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing. He hugged his wife and children tightly in his arms, his voice filled with infinite emotion, "Good, good, all of you are alike, all of you are alike!"

  Ming Xuan's strength was weak, so Nian's nanny didn't dare let her hold the child for long and quickly took the child back, sending them back to the house.

  Ming Xuan was not anxious, she confirmed the safety of the child and did not rush for the time being. For now, the most important thing is to take care of her body that has been severely injured. Once her body recovers, there will be plenty of time to hold the child. She made a great effort to sleep and eat, fully cooperating with Xiao Su and the imperial physician's treatment. What she wanted was to restore her body as soon as possible, which had almost burned out, and inject new vitality and energy into it.

  In the blink of an eye, several days have passed again.

  These days, she eats and sleeps, and when she wakes up, apart from teasing Xiao Zhan for a while, it's all about listening to Xiao Su and Dan Hong talk about what happened after she fainted.

  Originally, she fainted from the pain, but scared Xiao Su half to death. The woman in labor was at the most exhausting moment, needing great effort to deliver the baby, but Ming Xuan had passed out. The amniotic fluid had already broken, but no matter what, Ming Xuan couldn't be woken up. If this continued, Xiao Su feared that something terrible would happen to both Ming Xuan and the child. In a state of panic and fear, she decided to take drastic measures.

  Caesarean section, this was an unimaginable thing at that time, even hundreds of years ago, only Sun Taizhen had done such a dangerous and unorthodox thing. Fortunately, Pei Jingxuan happened to arrive just in time, accompanied by the highly skilled doctor Sun Taizhen. Xiaosu and Sun Taizhen joined forces, and when Ming Xuan was unconscious, they used extremely unconventional methods to deliver an eight-pound male infant from her abdomen. It was fortunate that they acted decisively; otherwise, if they had delayed for a little more time, Zhan'er might not have had the chance to come into this world.

  Although the child was saved, Ming Xuan eventually fell into a coma due to excessive blood loss, and even Sun Taoyi was once at a loss, unable to do anything but hope for divine intervention. The poor newborn needed his mother, and now a miracle was needed.

  Due to Ming Xuan's urgent situation during childbirth, and later being in a coma, she did not return to Shengjing. From the start of her labor, she had been confined to the humble village house where Crown Prince Yongzheng had brought her. Instead, it was Granny Rong, Nurse Dan Hong, and others who arrived with wet nurses and maids they had selected earlier, along with the cook and kitchen staff, filling the small courtyard to capacity. The quiet rural village suddenly became lively due to the influx of people.

  These days, Ming Xuan's complexion was getting rosier by the day, and her spirits had improved a lot. However, she had lost a lot of blood and qi before, and now she was still in confinement after childbirth, so both Sheng Yiniang and Xiao Su did not allow her to get out of bed. She couldn't help it, so she could only lie on the couch every day to recuperate. During the day, Sheng Yiniang would carry Zhan Er over to chat with her, and Dan Hong would also tell her about the gossip she had heard in the streets. Pei Jingzhen was also accompanying her all day long, and it didn't feel boring at all.

  In casual conversation, she finally learned that on the day she fainted from severe abdominal pain, Pei Jingchen happened to arrive from Shengjing, and with him came the current Prime Minister Han. At that time, Pei Jingchen received news from Gu Yuanjing's messenger and was worried about her and the child's safety, so he rushed straight to the carriage team, while Prime Minister Han led another group of people to bypass and capture Lin Nan Wang Shizi and Fengyang Junzhu, with the help of Huang Yi, they were easily captured.

  The imperial court had originally intended to capture Lin Nan Wang's son, but Zhou Yuan did not choose to avoid the limelight and hide among the people. Instead, he carried out this kidnapping to threaten Gu Yu Jing into exchanging Fengyang Junzhu. In the eyes of the imperial court, this was a huge provocation, and no one in the imperial court would agree to it. Moreover, Zhou Yuan had almost caused Ming Xuan's death, and Pei Jing Zhen and Gu Yu Jing would not forgive him. If Zhou Yuan and his party managed to escape, then so be it, but if they couldn't... what awaited them was thunderous anger.

  Perhaps it was because Prince Lin Nan knew this that the chase and escape were particularly thrilling.

  Who is Kehan Xiu? He is a man who truly grew up on the battlefield, stepping on the bones of the dead to achieve his glory and wealth. No matter who it was, as long as he locked onto them, he could launch an unstoppable attack with just one shot, and no prey could escape. Zhou Yuan was naturally no exception.

  After this shocking and rare battle, the remaining troops around Zhou Jun were completely annihilated, not a single one survived. Zhou Jun was at his wit's end, with no way to retreat, fearing that after his death, Fengyang would suffer even more unbearable consequences. He chose to die together with his daughter, and in front of the Cliff of Beheading, he let out a long howl towards the sky before jumping off with his daughter who had been frightened into stupidity. The cliff was thousands of feet high, with white bones scattered all over, and finally, Han Xiu's men found the bodies of this father-daughter pair at the foot of the cliff.

  Alas, Zhou Yuan's meticulous planning ultimately led to his downfall, and in the end, he inadvertently brought about his own demise.

  Ming Xuan was stunned for a moment after learning this news.

  She didn't sympathize with Zhou Yun, nor did she pity him. Just because he had kidnapped her and nearly killed her and Zhan Er, Zhou Yun deserved to die. She was only reminded of Feng Yang by herself, and the innocent child was not guilty. The ambitions of adults should not be blamed on children, but who can truly avoid being drawn into the whirlpool? She couldn't help but feel more afraid of politics, where one misstep could lead to falling into an abyss. Although she and Pei Jingzhen would never have the ambition to rebel, who dared guarantee that they would always follow the emperor's heart for their entire lives?

  As for Han Xiuzhen...

  Ming Xuan's heart was slightly moved, thinking of the times she had been in a coma and had dreams that seemed so real. She vaguely guessed that those fragmented scenes might be the past life of this body. As for why such a strange phenomenon occurred, even the past life of this body could be glimpsed in dreams, it was beyond her understanding, so she didn't understand. But those images were so vividly performed one by one in her dreams, making her feel as if she had experienced them herself.

  She firmly believed that her conjecture was correct, and it was Gu Mingxuan and Han Xiu who had been entangled in the past and present.

  What else could Ming Xuan do but sigh at this tortuous and sorrowful marriage? She was no longer the same person as before, and these feelings were like yesterday's yellow flowers, no longer with their former color. From the moment Han Xiuyi accepted Hui'an County Princess's proposal and agreed to divorce in such a tragic way, everything was already doomed, and no one could turn back, nor could they turn back.

  The fruit obtained today must have been planted yesterday, let them forget each other in the rivers and lakes...
