Arrogant and domineering because of his good looks: His Majesty always pretends to be righteous

She rushed forward without regard for anything else. At this moment, she was in unbearable pain, with a large amount of blood flowing silently. The young mistress felt as if all the blood in her body was about to drain away, and her whole body was unusually cold.

The lady was in excruciating pain on the bed, her face glistening with sweat that streamed down her forehead. For several moments, she felt as if she were about to die from the pain.

The excruciating pain left her with no strength left to resist.

"Young lady, please don't save me. I don't have much time left anyway. Just save my child. I'm already so old..."

"Don't worry about me, just take good care of my child. Just let me get out of here as soon as possible. I'm just suffering here!"

She stammered as she spoke, her face as pale as snow, completely devoid of any color.

Although Xia Rongliu didn't know anything about medicine, he skillfully used the bandage in his hand to quickly stop the bleeding. All the girls around him stared in amazement, not knowing what to do, and hurriedly helped him.

Everyone in the courtyard was crying and sobbing, tears streaming down their faces.

After a while, the young mistress's complexion gradually improved. Her eyes were filled with tears as she looked around, as if she wanted to say something, but no sound came out.

The pale hand swayed in the air, a sight that sent chills down one's spine.

"Young Madam, what are you saying? Don't talk about these things now, you'll be alright..."

She tried her best to comfort the old lady, hoping that nothing bad would happen to her.

After being comforted for a while, he slowly walked out with a heavy heart. The old man paced back and forth in the pavilion, looking preoccupied, his eyes fixed on the two people beside him.

He was preoccupied with his own thoughts, and although he appeared indifferent on the surface, he was actually extremely anxious inside.

As soon as she stepped out, she saw the old man staring intently at her, as if he was preparing to say something.

"How is my little girl doing? Is my wife alright? She's been inside for so long, I've been waiting so anxiously. If it weren't for the difference between men and women, I would have loved to go in and check on her right now..."

The old man finally voiced his anxiety, saying he desperately wanted to go in and see his wife, but he knew in his heart that it was impossible. He was in a dire situation and could only suppress his temper.

After a long while, the woman slowly opened her eyes, her small hand waving in the air as if she had something to say.

The old man standing to the side watched this scene unfold, unsure of what to say...

After a long while, the people around him gradually left, each one staring intently as if they had something to say.

In the stillness of the night, the candlelight flickered faintly, and all around was silent.

The dim yellow candlelight cast a sallow glow on her face, making it appear withered and yellow, and even her eyes were dull and devoid of any light.

"Madam, how are you feeling now...?"

The mediocre man standing to the side spoke timidly, his eyes darting around in their sockets, as if he were plotting something.

"Look how beautiful this child is! Thick eyebrows and big eyes—she's obviously pretty. She'll definitely be even more beautiful when she grows up."

With a creaking sound, Xia Rongliu walked in from outside the house. He looked around at everything with a calm and composed expression.

In that instant, everyone exchanged glances, seemingly plotting something.

"girl……"

"My wife just gave birth, so it might be a little inconvenient for her to see you. If you need anything, please go back first..."

The old lady glanced at him, and the servant standing beside her felt a mix of emotions. His arched eyebrows furrowed tightly, and his eyes were filled with displeasure.

"How can you talk to your benefactor like that? He went through a lot of trouble to save my life. If it weren't for him, I would be dead somewhere by now."

The maid standing to the side nodded meekly at the scene before her, unable to utter a word for the first three sentences. Everyone had their heads down, as if they had something to say.

“Madam, we didn’t mean that. We just felt that you’ve only just escaped danger, and it might be too early for you to see other people now.”

The maids standing to the side spoke timidly, the atmosphere so oppressive it was hard to breathe, and everyone had their heads down, as if they had something to say.

After giving them a long, menacing look, they could only slink away.

"Sir, whether you like it or not, my life was saved by someone, so I think we should do something about it..."

“That girl went through so much trouble to deliver the child. We should repay her kindness tenfold. So you should agree to their request to raise an army. It would be a contribution to the country.”

She looked at the old man with teary eyes, wanting to say so much. The atmosphere suddenly became very heavy, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe. Everyone stared at each other, unsure of what to say.

The old man looked at his wife's words with great anxiety, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

His cold gaze fell on Xia Rongliu standing beside him, his eyes darting suspiciously over her body.

“You want to start a rebellion, that’s why you’ve come to help my wife. You don’t need to say anything more, I know exactly what you’re thinking.”

"However, my wife was able to escape danger thanks to you all; otherwise, the child in my womb would not have been born safely."

"I will consider going on the expedition with you after my wife has fully recovered, but you'd better not be too happy too soon."

Old Master He spoke with deep concern. Although he was initially unwilling to agree, his wife was now pleading earnestly. Looking at the newborn child, he was moved with compassion.

Not wanting her to have any further concerns, I could only nod and agree.

Xia Zhanxin was overjoyed and immediately clasped her hands in a fist salute, her smile overflowing.

"do not worry!"

"We will definitely not let you down..."

"We will let you know that this uprising is for our own reasons, and that everything is not just baseless rumors. We will prove it with our sincerity."

Seeing their confident expressions, the old man could only nod in agreement.
