"Do you think your life or death has ever had any weight on me?"

Meng Huaibei moved quickly and easily snatched the dagger that Wu Fangzhi was holding tightly.

Then, his hand gripped her throat like an iron clamp, and the strength between his fingers slowly gathered.

Wu Fangzhi felt the pain of dying and could hardly breathe.

"Let...let me go."

But he did not let go. Instead, he continued to increase his strength until Wu Fangzhi's breathing slowly disappeared.

Meng Huaibei clapped his hands, feeling that killing such a person with his own hands had stained his hands.

Following a burst of hurried footsteps, the rest of the officers and soldiers rushed over. Meng Huaibei just said expressionlessly: "Miss Wu has committed suicide out of fear of punishment."

In this world, he would ruthlessly wipe out any shadow that posed a threat to Jiang Nianwei, leaving no room for them.

As soon as this incident happened, people in the court were in a panic. Those ministers who had complained about it were all thoroughly purged without exception, and the court was in a state of panic.

Even though he had taken revenge, Baili Zhao could no longer laugh. His heart was filled with great pain.

He rushed to the edge of the cliff where Jiang Nianwei had the accident. When he closed his eyes, he saw endless darkness. When he opened his eyes, he saw the vast world in front of him.

But without her by my side, the whole world becomes dim and dark.

He had an impulse, he wanted to just jump down, maybe he could be reunited with her...

"Where was her body found?" Baili Zhao's voice was hoarse.

The guard led him down the cliff path step by step, until they reached a desolate place, "Sir, this is the place."

Baili Zhao lay where she died and slowly closed his eyes.

He regretted very much that he did not stay by Jiang Nianwei's side and share life and death with her when she was in the most dangerous time.

Even if he killed the murderers, his Sanniang would never come back.

He took out the strategies for governing a country that she had written before, and now his goal was to complete them for Sanniang...

Then he would go to her and end his suffering.

……

Six months later, Jiang Nianwei spent a leisurely time in Linzhou.

Jing Zhuo knew her plan and couldn't help feeling deeply moved.

"It was quite troublesome to have a romantic relationship in ancient times, with all the twists and turns, family background, it was simply too much, but it was better at being quiet and free."

Jiang Nianwei chuckled and leaned lazily on the recliner, playing with the cup of freshly brewed milk tea in her hands, the aroma lingering.

"The Jing family is now extremely wealthy. I'm afraid no one can match their peace and tranquility, right?"

Jing Zhuo's eyes fell on her increasingly bulging belly, and he joked, "Look at your belly, which is getting rounder day by day. I dare to guess, will you have twins like I did back then?"

"It shouldn't be possible." Jiang Nianwei took her own pulse and found that it was not the pulse of twins.

"But your belly is about the same size as mine was back then. If you only have one child, how big is that child?"

Jiang Nianwei also felt ashamed. As everyone knows, the older the child is, the harder it is to give birth.

"I was afraid too. The baby's pulse is strong and powerful. I have carefully checked it with the advanced equipment you brought. It is definitely a single baby."

Jing Zhuo had the ability to communicate with modern times, and he brought back a lot of supplies from modern times, including a lot of medical equipment.

Jiang Nianwei came here secretly and lived in an inconspicuous little courtyard in Linzhou just to give birth to a child here.

By the late stage of her pregnancy, her waist could no longer be straightened, and she would feel extremely tired after walking just a few steps.

"The due date is coming soon, and I don't know when the baby will come out. I'm really anxious to deliver the baby."

Jing Zhuo shook his head repeatedly: "I was like this when I was pregnant, I was anxious to deliver the baby, but I found that after the baby was born, I wanted to stuff it back. You should cherish the peaceful days now, otherwise you will hear crying all the time. It will be hard for you."

“I can imagine that.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nianwei couldn't help but look not far away, where Jing Zhuo's two children were fighting fiercely over a pile of toys.

The one that she couldn't grab made a sharp explosion sound. She could already imagine what the scene would be like after giving birth.

Jiang Nianwei said thoughtfully: "I heard that Lord Wei had a big fight with his family and has been transferred to Linzhou. He is on his way here now."

Jing Zhuo's face was slightly shaken, but he still pretended to be calm: "Oh? So what?"

"The children's father is coming, and he can take on more fatherly responsibilities." Jiang Nianwei said with a half-smile.

"I raised the child by myself, what does it have to do with him?"

Jiang Nianwei teased, "Okay, okay, those letters are also fake. I'll just pretend that I haven't seen them, okay?"

"Bad friend, bad friend, you only know how to make fun of me, why don't you reflect on yourself? Baili Zhao was infatuated with you, but you resolutely left him and hid here, letting him mistakenly believe that you were no longer alive. The last time I went to the capital, I happened to see him, and he looked so haggard... Alas, that situation, I'm afraid he won't have much time left, it makes me sad."

Jiang Nianwei's heartstrings suddenly tightened, and she quickly retorted: "Don't talk nonsense, he has always been in good health, and when we parted, I gave him a life-saving medicine, he will be safe and sound."

"What if he didn't eat? I heard that he is very diligent. His achievements in the past six months are equivalent to his father's ten years in office. Besides, he has no one in his harem so far. Nianwei, your icy heart should melt, right?"

Jiang Nianwei shook her head, said nothing more, and just touched her belly.

During this period, Nanny Liu also found her lost son, and now the two have settled in Linzhou.

Her food and daily life were basically taken care of by Nanny Liu.

While in Linzhou, she missed her friends in the capital very much, but in order to hide her identity, she could not show up easily.

Meng Huaibei would often visit her and bring news from everyone in the capital every time.

Today happened to be the day when he rushed to the mansion again, exhausted.

As soon as his eyes touched Jiang Nianwei, his originally slightly gloomy face instantly bloomed into a warm smile.

"Sister, do you have a good appetite today?" he asked with concern.

"Good, that's great. Look how big your belly is. I'm even afraid I'll have a difficult birth."

Meng Huaibei's face changed, "Don't talk nonsense, the delivery will be safe."

Just now, when he entered the yard, he saw the leisurely Jiang Nianwei smiling and welcoming his arrival. He even had the illusion that the two of them were just a young couple living in seclusion.

Jiang Nianwei looked at him in a daze and couldn't help asking, "How is the Jiang Mansion now?"

Hearing this, he raised a warm smile and replied, "Of course it's good news for the whole family. The fourth daughter is very talented and has won the first prize, becoming the first female official in the court. Her future is limitless. The two brothers have also made great achievements and their reputations are growing in the court and the country. To add to the good news, Madam Fu recently diagnosed a pregnancy, and the master and the mistress are also in good health. They both told you not to worry too much about home."

Jiang Nianwei felt warm at heart upon hearing this, but then she felt a little sad again and sighed softly, "I am really an unfilial person. For the sake of my own freedom, I don't even have the courage to go home and visit."

"Oh, right." Jiang Nianwei took out a bag of medicine. I carefully prepared these for them and have already carefully classified them. Please help me bring them back. Be careful not to let others see any clues."

"Don't worry, Sister. In the past, you asked me to bring back many things, and I was able to deliver them safely without any problems."

"Act with caution and you will be worry-free in the long run."

"But..." Meng Huaibei hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "I want to stay here until you give birth to the baby safely."

"No need to do that, I have someone to serve me."

"Sister, this is different. I am very worried about you. Don't worry, your child is just like my child. Isn't it good to have an uncle who loves him?"

Jiang Nianwei finally nodded gently and whispered, "Okay."

These days, she tried her best to avoid all news about Baili Zhao, as if this could bury the past deep in her heart.

However, ever since Jing mentioned it casually last time, that sentence has been like a thorn piercing her heart. She wanted to speak, but finally swallowed it back.

"Sister, do you still have some unresolved sorrow in your heart?" Jing asked with concern.

Jiang Nianwei seemed to come back to her senses and said softly, "No more."

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to tell you about Taozhi. Taozhi's husband loves her very much."

"That's great."

Meng Huaibei slowly lowered his head, his fingers tightened inadvertently, and his voice was filled with indescribable emotions: "Sister, are you still thinking about the news of that old friend?"

She smiled softly and shook her head, with a hint of relief and determination in her smile: "Oh? That, it has long become a thing of the past. Now that I have paved the way forward, I have no intention of turning back."

He seemed to have made a difficult decision: "Your Majesty... your health has been deteriorating recently. I'm afraid... you don't have much time left."

Jiang Nianwei paused when she heard this, and turned around in disbelief, her eyes full of shock: "How could it be? How could he suddenly become so seriously ill?"

"I didn't want to bring all this trouble to you, fearing that you would be worried, but... I don't want to see you anxious and uneasy because of the unknown, nor do I want to leave you with regrets. Sister, do you want to go see him?"

Jiang Nianwei was extremely anxious. At this moment, she realized that she had never forgotten him.

She thought she had hidden her feelings perfectly, but Ah Bei still saw through them at a glance.

"I...I..." Jiang Nianwei's words were intermittent, as if she herself didn't know how to start.

Suddenly, a sudden abdominal pain interrupted her thoughts. It was an unprecedented severe pain that made her curl up involuntarily, "My stomach hurts so much..."

She instinctively reached out and grabbed Meng Huaibei beside her, "Abei, I... I'm afraid I'm about to give birth. Quick, go find a doctor, and also notify Jing Zhuo and the others..."

Meng Huaibei's heart was in a mess when he heard this, but he quickly calmed down, "Okay, I'll send someone to do it immediately!"

How could he bear to leave her at this critical moment? But reason told him that he had to arrange everything as soon as possible to ensure her safety.

The doctor and Jing Zhuo arrived in time, and just in case, Jing Zhuo also called three experienced midwives.

Jiang Nianwei also felt great pain. She held Jing Zhuo's hand and said, "I'll leave everything to you."

Jing Zhuo nodded, "No problem, just rest assured."

But just as they had worried, the fetus in the womb was too large and there would be certain risks if it was delivered naturally.

Even several midwives said, "No, I'm afraid it won't work. We have experience. This is obviously a difficult birth. The baby won't be born, and the mother will be suffocated to death."

The doctor was also helpless and even said exaggeratedly: "You should prepare for your funeral!"

Meng Huaibei was so angry that he almost drew his sword to chop them, but Jiang Nianwei stopped him.

"Let...let them leave."

It’s not their fault that their medical skills are not good enough, it’s just that the child is too big.

If it were in modern times, a caesarean section would be enough.

But at this time, the only person who could perform the operation was herself.

Jing Zhuo nervously held her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, there is a way, we have a way, nothing will go wrong, let me think about it."

Jiang Nianwei suddenly remembered some modern medical knowledge.

He endured the severe pain, sat up, and began to take deep breaths.

"Jing Zhuo, everything from now on depends on you. I say... just listen."

Meng Huaibei was at the door, almost wanting to rush in, but Jing Zhuo yelled, "Don't offend your sister."

He finally calmed down, but he still felt uneasy.

Jiang Nianwei took a piece of ginseng and stuffed it into her mouth, then changed her posture.

This position should allow the baby to come out better.

Her strength gradually returned, and Jiang Nianwei mustered her strength again. With every deep and firm breath, she worked tirelessly.

Jing Zhuo stood by, sweat dripping down his cheeks, but he didn't care at all. He just followed her every instruction wholeheartedly.

Until a burst of crying sounded throughout the room, Jiang Nianwei's tense nerves relaxed at this moment, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised, "The child is finally out."

Jing Zhuo was sweating profusely, but he finally relaxed.

She picked up the child with a blanket and said, "It's a girl. She's very strong. I'm afraid she got too much nutrition in her stomach."

Jiang Nianwei forced a smile. She had used up all her strength just now and her mind was a little fuzzy now.

He said one more sentence: "Let me see." Then he fell into a coma completely.

Then I heard a flurry of footsteps beside me.

Meng Huaibei only saw basins of blood being carried out of the room and began to feel annoyed. He should not have acted on his own initiative and told the news about Baili Zhao.

Two more female doctors arrived, and Jing Zhuo asked them to come in quickly.

He stuffed the child into Meng Huaibei's arms and said, "Abei, you take care of her first and just coax her."

Meng Huaibei was at a loss, he could not help at all now, and looked down at the strong baby girl in his arms.
