"If my child cannot be preserved, everyone in Yangzhou will be buried with him!"
This sentence was like the sharpest steel knife, piercing into my chest, making me unable to breathe. I was trembling in the wind and rain, looking at the fearful and desperate faces below, I felt like I was in an ice cellar, and even the blood in my body had condensed into ice.
Tears and cold rain mixed together, and fell down my face drop by drop.
I trembled, "You, you want-"
"Didn't you always want to save the lives of people from Yangzhou?" He looked down with a blank expression, his voice hoarse: "Now, I can give you this opportunity."
“…”
"Save our children and give birth to our children."
“…”
"People from Yangzhou can live."
My body trembled violently, as if it would fall from the window the next moment, but his hand tightly held my waist without any relaxation. The hand holding my chin was slightly pressing, turning my face towards him, and he also looked at me: "I want this child!"
More tears came over and flowed into his hands immediately, wetting his fingers. I cried silently, trembling all over, unable to say a word.
He looked at me for a long time and finally said, "I know, you can't bear to die."
“…”
This time, I cried.
But the wind and rain immediately swallowed up the cry of sorrow. No one heard my cry, and no one knew that in this city and this window, a woman made the most helpless choice.
I never knew that the cruelty of life is not only death, but even survival.
Seeing that I was crying hard, he finally let go of his hand that was holding my chin, and the tears that dripped into his palm were flooding. He held my back neck and gently pressed my head on his shoulders. Tears surged out and immediately soaked his clothes. A hot heat that appeared in the cold made him twitch slightly, but he said nothing, but just hugged me tighter into his arms.

How did he take me downstairs? I have no memory.
When he hugged me and walked into a place full of hot water, I fell completely asleep.
Although they soon found the doctor, they were wet from the rain, frightened, and almost miscarriage. All of this was enough to knock down anyone on the same day. I was also sick and had a high fever. When the person was lying in the bed, he looked like a piece of red charcoal.
Several doctors knelt in front of the bed and said tremblingly: "In this case of Madam, the fetus is really not easy to protect."
After saying this, someone was dragged out. He could still hear his crying and mercy from afar, but once the door was closed, he could not hear anything. The remaining people were as quiet as a cicada, and no one dared to speak again.
After a while, someone pried open my mouth and poured a bowl of thick and bitter soup.
I had no strength to push and refuse, nor did I have the strength to swallow. Most of the medicine was spilled along the corner of my mouth, but I still took a few sips, which made me cough. When I moved, I felt an indescribable feeling of discomfort in my abdomen.
I was entangled by that feeling, as if a snake was entangling me, making people feel unbearable.
My body can no longer move, but my spirit has been struggling and calling for help, but no one can hear it. The place where I am is pitch black and everything is silent, as if there is no rest at all.
At this moment, I vaguely heard Xie Feng's voice sounding next to him, as if he was a little sad: "You have used the lives of a city to keep this child?"
"Isn't this what you like to see?"
“…”
"Do you think I don't know that you've been to her? Do you think I don't know, why did she suddenly ask to persuade Wen Fengxi?"
"...I admit that I don't want to see you massacre the city either. But it's more painful for her to leave this child."
“…”
"You are using the lives of a city to force her. Are you going to drive her crazy?"
“…”
After a long silence, a nearly old voice rang in my ears in an empty voice - "It's okay if you're crazy, you don't have to think about leaving me."
Xie Feng seemed to tremble for a while, and after a long time, he slowly said, "Who is the disaster for you two?"
...
I don’t know how long it took to be confused in that feeling, but I felt a warm feeling coming from my abdomen, as if a ball of fire was burning, not far from my body, and a continuous sense of warmth was transmitted to my abdomen, and finally dispelled the pain that had been entangled with me for a long time.
I slowly calmed down.
My mind finally pulled out of the whirlpool of pain. I tried my best to open my eyes and saw Xie Feng sitting by the bed and slowly retracting his hand.
He looked at me with sweat on his head for a while, then got up, and the bed tent fell down slowly. He said to Pei Yuanxiu who was standing beside him: "I can only use my internal strength to protect her heart, but whether this child can be saved depends on her and the doctors. After all, it depends on God's will."
Pei Yuanxiu held his hands behind his back and moved his fingers gently: "God's will? I have been going against the will of heaven in my life!"
Xie Feng looked at him again, and there was a rare hesitation in his eyes, but he didn't say anything else, just bowed his hand, turned around and walked out.
When the door was closed, Pei Yuanxiu slowly turned around and lifted the bed tent.
He immediately saw my slightly narrowed eyes and hurriedly sat down: "Are you awake?"
“…”
"Are you better?"
“…”
"Does it still hurt?"
“…”
"Where is uncomfortable, tell me!"
I looked at his anxious and caring look, and it took me a long time to move my dry lips. He hurried over and heard my slight whispering like a mosquito: "Are you still alive?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! He froze for a moment, slowly raised his head to look at me.
I opened my eyes and looked at him with all my strength, waiting for him to have an answer.
He said, "I promised you and will not break my promise."
“…”
"But you have to remember, too," he said, stretching out his hand and gently covering my flat belly: "This child must survive. This is our child!"
“…”
I didn't know whether to cry or laugh, but I felt the temperature in his palm slowly spread to his lower abdomen. The feeling was indeed much more comfortable than the colic just now. I slowly closed my eyes, and my moist eyelashes stuck to each other, and a little tears condensed.

Yangzhou City is preserved.
Although most people don’t know what a strange turning point their lives have experienced, in the next few days, my condition was poured into bitter decoctions again and again, and my lower abdomen became less and less colic, and the outside sounds gradually became more and more.
It's no longer a dead city.
After lying in bed for seven days, I was finally able to get up.
On this day, it was rare that Pei Yuanxiu was not with me. After I got up, Hua Zhu brought two maids in. They were very careful with me now, even more so than on the boat. Even when I walked to the window, it was a big taboo. Usually, eating and drinking became a big deal. So when they saw me get up by myself, they were so scared that they hurried over to help me sit down, served me and put on my clothes, and combed my hair.
After a little bit of food, I told them that I wanted to go out for a walk.
Hua Zhu originally wanted to go out with me, but I refused, and she didn't insist.
Of course I know that she will follow me from afar.
The place we are in is still the same clinic, and we have not moved away in the past few days. Of course, it is also because of my physical condition. In order to allow me to obtain medicinal materials even if I receive treatment, I even know that they gathered all the doctors in Yangzhou City here later.
This is also the reason that this clinic has temporarily become their stronghold in Yangzhou, and heavy troops are sent to guard it around.
In fact, it would be fine even if they didn't take the lead, because too many strong men had died in the previous war. Wen Fengxi left and took away the elite. In addition, they killed the captured people on the city tower, and there was almost no one in Yangzhou who could generate resistance.
This city has completely become a piece of meat that can be slaughtered on the chopping board, but fortunately, the knife did not really fall.
I slowly walked into the yard.
Almost all clinics have similar structures. This place is very similar to the original Resurrection Pharmacy Store. However, it is extremely quiet and you cannot hear any normal actions. It is even more impossible to hear the heroic song of "holding your body in the white blade, killing people in the world" in the Resurrection Pharmacy Store.
In such silence, I became more sensitive, and seemed to be able to feel the subtle throbbing in my body.
I lowered my head and looked at my lower abdomen.
Until now, I still can't believe that I was pregnant with his child, and I can't believe that after drinking contraceptive pills and being frightened like this, even after the continuous blood flow in the rain, the child still exists. A few days ago, at the weakest moment, any vibration may end the little life in the belly.
Now, he seems to be much more stable than before.
I gently reached out and stroked my stomach. The strange feeling made me feel a little at a loss.
This child shouldn't have appeared.
Although he stayed with such difficulty, and although the strength of life is enough to make anyone ashamed, I still feel pain because I know that he shouldn't have appeared.
Even, I can foresee his future, and I can't see anything other than pain.
Why, you want to show up?
When I thought about it this way, the discomfort was so depressing that I was almost breathless. I hurriedly reached out to support the wall on one side, and Hua Zhu immediately rushed out with two maids.
"Miss Yan!"
"Miss Yan is uncomfortable? Let's go and find the doctor right away."
I shook my head: "No, I'm just tired of standing."
"Oh? Then sit down quickly."
There was a stone bench in the yard of this clinic against the wall. They helped me to sit down. As soon as they sat down, they heard the sound of people outside talking outside outside outside the wall behind them.
"You mean, the people in Jinling live in this clinic?"
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. Even the doctors were caught in, their families said that."
"Hey, what exactly are these traitors going to do? After fighting for so many days and killing so many people, aren't you afraid of lightning strikes?"
"Shh, whisper, you're inside, do you want to die?"
“…”
"If I want to say, no matter how bad it is, it will not be that of the official in Yangzhou Prefecture."
"You mean, Lord Wen—"
"Bah, what kind of adult? As soon as the enemy attacked, he ran away with his tail between his legs and left the people in our city. Is this kind of person worthy of being called an adult?"
"That's right, this cowardly, if he surrendered early in the morning, it would be fine. After so many days and so many people died, he would have escaped at the last minute and left so many of us!"
"We used to think he would be a good person like Lord Liu."
"Good people? Good people don't live long. Dog officials like this are the disaster that lasts for thousands of years!"
...
Listening to the insults from those outside, my heart slowly tightened.
Just sitting here for a while, I could hear them scolding Wen Fengxi like this. I could almost expect that many people in Yangzhou City would hate him to the core.
This infamy always falls on him.
Seeing me frowning, Hua Zhu thought the scolding of those people made me feel painful, so she helped me and said carefully: "Miss Yan, let's go back to the house."
I really couldn't listen anymore, so I nodded and was about to go with them, but as soon as I got together, I heard the voices of several women coming from outside-
"That person with the surname Wen is fine. He is greedy for life and fear of death, which is the long-term nature of being an official. I think the most damn thing is that woman!"
"Woman? Which woman?"
"You didn't see that day? They were the ones who were carried into the city."
"I saw it too, all over the body of blood. Who is she?"
"Did you all forget that when the emperor - when he was a prince, came to Yangzhou to provide disaster relief, and he brought a woman by his side to appease many refugees."
"Ah, when you say it, I remember it, it's her!"
"Why did she go there now to Jinling's rebellion?"
"Who knows?"
"What else is there to know about this? She probably saw that the people in Jinling had power and power, so she went to rely on them. Women are so arrogant! "
"Look, maybe we have fought for so long and died so many people, and it's all her fault!"
"Oh, this is a disaster for beauty."
"Bah, what a beauty is in trouble? I think she is like the one with the surname Wen, and she should be struck by lightning!"
Seeing my face turn white, Hua Zhu was frightened and hurriedly helped me: "Miss Yan, what's wrong with you?"
As soon as her voice sounded, the people outside seemed to hear it, and immediately frightened. Hua Zhu was so angry that she wanted to argue with them, and was worried that I would faint. Just as I was anxious, I gritted my teeth and let myself stand firm. She waved her hand gently: "I'm fine."
