Song Yao did not go to sleep, but still sat by the charcoal fire, and in front of her, only Huaying was sitting.

Song Yao's ears have always been very sensitive, so the sound of horse hooves coming from outside came before the person arrived. Song Yao was the first to hear it.

Now she had no time to warm herself by the fire. She got up and went to the yard, stood on one side of the gate, stuck her head out and looked outside. She saw some people on horseback holding torches coming towards her.

In today's world, there are so many people, they are either soldiers, refugees, or bandits.

I won’t mention the first two, after all, the clothes they wore were not similar, so their identities could only be robbers.

Song Yao held her stomach and hurried into the house, "Huaying, there are some uninvited guests outside, let's go!"

"What?" Huaying was shocked. "Why...why is there someone like that here?"

"Stop talking and go!" Song Yao turned around and walked out of the house.

Huaying had no choice but to follow without asking any more questions.

Arriving at the backyard, Huaying looked at Song Yao anxiously, "Miss, how are you going to get up there with such a big belly? Miss, find a place to hide. I'll go call the young master and the others."

Song Yao was just pregnant, otherwise, she wouldn't be afraid of those people.

Song Yao didn't say anything. She frowned, looked at the courtyard wall in front of her, took a deep breath, and didn't care about anything else. She gathered her internal strength and jumped up. She crossed the courtyard wall and came to the ground outside.

"Huaying, turn over quickly!" As soon as Song Yao finished speaking, she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen, and even her waist hurt a lot more than before.

"Damn it!" Song Yao frowned, holding her stomach with one hand and her waist with the other.

Huaying climbed over the courtyard wall and came in front of Song Yao. She didn't notice anything unusual about her and helped her walk towards the house where Song Zizhou and the others lived.

Originally, Song Zizhou told Song Qing that he wanted to live with Song Yao. After all, she was a pregnant woman, which would be inconvenient, and he was also afraid of accidents.

However, they had not had a good rest for a long time, and Song Yao also wanted them to have a good rest for a night, so she refused them.

She also said that Huaying was there and the time for delivery had not yet come, so they could rest assured. But in the end, only Huaying was left to accompany Song Yao.

Huaying said, "Miss, if we had known earlier we would have asked the young master and the others to come along. Now, we've run into a gang of thieves. Fortunately, we discovered them early, otherwise, we would be doomed!"

Song Yao didn't say anything because her stomach was hurting so much that a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.

It is even more difficult to move forward.

However, with those thieves behind her, if she didn't leave, as long as they entered the house, they would find traces of human presence, and then when they thought that the person was missing, they would think of Song Yao.

So, even though the abdominal pain was unbearable, Song Yao had to keep moving forward.

Huaying said a few words, and seeing that Song Yao ignored her, she glanced at her. It was very dark outside, and they could only grope forward in the dim light, so they did not see the unbearable look on Song Yao's face.

Of course, Huaying didn't say anything else.

She had originally intended to go directly to Song Zizhou, but after passing by Xiao Yan's house, Song Yao could no longer bear it and shouted hoarsely, "Prince!"

Huaying then remembered that Xiao Yan was a prince and was also very skilled in martial arts, so he would definitely be able to deal with those thieves.

So Huaying also shouted a few times.

The room was dark and it was obvious that he was asleep.

Huaying and the others had no choice but to shout louder.

Suddenly, the front door opened.

Xiao Yan appeared in their sight.

When Xiao Yan saw Song Yao, his brows furrowed and a look of obvious worry appeared on his face.

He hurried to open the gate, walked up to Song Yao and asked, "What's going on?"

Song Yao said, "There's a group of thieves in the village. I don't know what their purpose is. I spotted them quickly, so I ran away with Huaying first."

Xiao Yan frowned even more tightly, and asked again, "What's wrong with you?"

Song Yao looked at Xiao Yan, unable to contain her emotions any longer, and burst into tears in fear, "Your Majesty, my stomach hurts, it hurts so much..."

Huaying's pupils shrank, "Miss, you..."

Xiao Yan didn't care about anything and directly picked up Song Yao. He looked at Hua Ying and ordered, "Go find Song Zizhou and the others quickly and ask them to gather here!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Huaying bowed and left.

Huaying naturally didn't dare to delay a matter of life and death.

But she couldn't understand why her young lady didn't tell her when she had a stomachache?

At the same time, Xiao Yan carried Song Yao to the bed in the room where he slept. He did not light a candle because he was worried that the thieves would discover him.

In the dark room, he looked at Song Yao lying on the bed, with obvious worry on his face, "Ayao, are you about to give birth? Is your stomach aching?"

Song Yao looked at Xiao Yan, who was lying beside the bed. Sweat had already broken out on her forehead. "Yes...it hurts so much. Your Highness, I'm so scared. I'm really so scared. Your Highness, no matter what happens, you must protect these two children."

The child belongs to the original owner, who loves him very much and treasures him very much.

So when she first became pregnant, the original owner was really happy.

She couldn't help but want to share this good news with Xiao Chi, hoping that this child would ease the relationship between her and Xiao Chi.

But when I went to find Xiao Chi, I saw him and Xu Lingyi talking and laughing in a room.

This scene instantly broke the original owner's heart.

So, she no longer wanted to tell him about the child and chose to be alone in silence.

The original owner loved the baby so much, how could Song Yao let her down?

Therefore, if something really happened, Song Yao would definitely be the first to save the child. As for her, she was not from this world to begin with, so if she died, she would be relieved.

Xiao Yan refused directly, "How can a child be more important than you? Ah Yao, you still have family, brothers and sisters, and you still have concerns. You can't let anything happen to you!"

Song Yao looked at Xiao Yan and said, "Your Highness, you are a very good person. You deserve a better girl. As for me, a woman who has given birth to a child, how can I be a good match for you? Your Highness, please don't waste your time on me."

She knew Xiao Yan. If she died, Xiao Yan would be very sad.

He had protected her so many times along the way, she couldn't let him end up in that situation.

"Silly girl, you have to be fine. Didn't you say it before? You would take us to Fengzhou personally. Tell me, if something happens to you, what will happen to your parents? What about the child you gave birth to with great effort? In this world where people eat each other, they will die without you, and your child will die too!" Xiao Yan held Song Yao's hand tightly, his voice excited, because he was really afraid that something might happen to Song Yao.

Song Yao just wanted to protect her child, but after hearing what Xiao Yan said, she fell silent.

Yes, there are so many people in the team, and everyone trusts her and believes that she can really take them to Fengzhou and start a new life.

If she died, it would be a broken promise.

But she doesn't want to be a person who goes back on her word.
