After transmigrating into the book, I helped my mother reconcile with her divorced husband.

Just an inch from the crown prince, a sharp sword pierced her heart. The woman didn't turn around, but instead forced herself to take half a step forward. Her hairpin fell, and the crown prince caught her steadily.

The crown prince looked at her in confusion: "Why did you kill me?"

The woman smiled, blood spurting from her mouth: "Just following orders."

Lu Zhiyuan picked up the hairpin that had fallen to the ground; it was a modified version, just like the one in her hair. The protruding end was a normal hairpin style, while the hidden end was a short sword, its scabbard tucked into her hair bun. It had been sharpened and poisoned, meant to kill instantly upon drawing blood.

While taking his pulse, Lu Zhiyuan asked, "Are you an assassin? Sent by the Marquis of Yongchang?"

The woman shook her head: "I won't tell!"

Lu Zhiyuan looked up at her: "You're about to die!"

The woman nodded: "I know."

She gently placed her hand on her belly: "My child... I'm so sorry."

Lu Zhiyuan inserted a few needles into her body and calmly asked, "How many months?"

"More than eight months."

"A girl?"

The woman nodded: "It's a girl! My husband said so. He's a doctor, but his medical skills aren't very good."

"Does he know you're an assassin?"

The woman shook her head: "Don't tell him! I left a letter saying I left with the children. I'd rather he hate me than get involved in these things."

The woman took a deep breath, looked up at the sky, and said, "It's so blue! It's a pity I can't see the snow in Ganzhou City."

Lu Zhiyuan gave her another acupuncture treatment: "Hold on, I'll find a way to save your daughter."

The woman's eyes lit up: "Save...save my daughter? I'm an assassin, the assassin who killed you. You should kill me and my daughter together."

“The woman is guilty, the child is innocent; she shouldn’t pay for your actions.” Lu Zhiyuan released her grip. “You weren’t full-term, not yet due. Your symptoms indicate you took labor-inducing drugs. The baby hasn’t engaged, and the placenta is malpositioned; a cesarean section is necessary. I can’t save you, but I can save her. You still have time.”

You can suggest a name for your daughter.

"Xue'er, my daughter's name is Xue'er." The woman smiled and pointed to her hairpin: "Use this to perform a cesarean section."

Lu Zhiyuan shook her head, gesturing for Lu Yun and the Crown Prince to lift her into the carriage.

She was bleeding too much, and they needed to race against time to get the baby out.

“My needles can only last for three-quarters of an hour at most. Go find her husband. Their daughter needs someone to raise her, and he needs to know the truth.” Lu Zhiyuan grabbed Lu Yun, who was about to get into the carriage: “Go on horseback, and be quick.”

There are Xie family shops nearby, and horses are always kept in the backyard of Xie family shops. With Xie family tokens, any shop will provide convenience.

The carriage stopped in front of Xie's Medical Clinic, and the doctor peeked out.

"what happened?"

Upon seeing the doctor, Lu Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief. "There's a woman in labor who's about to die and needs a cesarean section to remove the baby."

"Cut open..." The doctor turned pale with fright.

He had heard of cesarean section for child removal, but only his young mistress had actually performed it. As a doctor, and a minor doctor in a remote place like Ganzhou City, how could he possibly know anything about cesarean section for child removal?

Just as he was about to speak, Lu Zhiyuan suddenly turned her head and said, "My surname is Lu, Lu Zhiyuan, and my mother is Xie Chaoyun."

The doctor's eyes lit up when he saw the token in Lu Zhiyuan's hand.

Miss, so this is the legendary Miss.

Blood had already dripped from the carriage onto the ground. Fearing it would cause panic, the doctor instructed them to drive the carriage directly into the backyard.

"The woman in labor is seriously injured and is only kept alive by my life-saving acupuncture. We only have less than 45 minutes. Remember what I said: prepare everything for me within 15 minutes as quickly as possible. Have the servants boil water and clear out a room for this woman to give birth. Also, inform the front that if my guards arrive, do not stop them; bring them in as soon as possible."

The woman's breath was weak, and she let out a soft moan of pain, whether from the child in her womb or from the sword Lu Yun had stabbed her with, it was unclear.

Even though death was inevitable, Lu Zhiyuan still hoped that she could suffer less pain.

She was also an assassin, and she knew that assassins didn't have control over their killings.

He took out a pill and put it in her mouth: "Swallow it if you can, and if you really can't, just hold it in your mouth. It's for pain relief, to lessen your pain. Try to hold on, and see your daughter one last time before you leave."

The woman nodded and forcefully lifted her eyelids.

When the woman's husband arrived, Lu Zhiyuan had just delivered the baby. Hearing a "waaaaa," the man's legs went weak, and he almost knelt on the ground. Lu Yun pulled him to the bedside where the cesarean section was being performed. Seeing his wife's abdomen cut open, the man's expression became increasingly complicated. He felt like fainting, but he forced himself to stay upright.

Lu Zhiyuan was preparing to stitch up the wound, not giving him any extra glances. While threading the needle, she said, "You have a quarter of an hour. Say what you want to say, ask what you want to ask. You can ask your wife, or you can ask me, but I may not answer you."

What have you done to my wife?

“Husband…” the woman opened her eyes: “They saved me, they are good people.”

nice guy?

Would a good person really cut open someone else's stomach and take out a premature baby? Would a good person really sew up someone else's stomach like mending clothes?

Knowing she didn't have much time, the woman kept it brief.

“I am an assassin, ordered to infiltrate Ganzhou. Three days ago, I received orders from my master. My mission failed, but fortunately I met my wife, which is why our child is alive.”

Killer?

Isn't this a story only found in traditional storybooks?

Is his wife an assassin?

That's hilarious! How could his wife be an assassin? What about her looks like an assassin?

The woman moved her hand, and her husband, seeing this, quickly grabbed it: "What are you saying? Are you stupid?"

The woman gently shook her head: "I'm sorry, I've delayed you! Promise me you won't pry into my past... Take the child... Take our Xue'er and leave Ganzhou... Far away... Don't... Don't hate me!"

The woman opened her eyes wide: "Madam... my benefactor..."

The woman found peace in her death. She knew Lu Zhiyuan was a good person and didn't want her identity to cause her husband and daughter to resent someone they shouldn't. For an assassin, being killed during a mission is quite normal. They can blame themselves for their lack of skill, but they can't blame their targets for turning the tables on them.

The woman's eyes began to glaze over. Lu Zhiyuan, who was stitching, stopped and said urgently, "Quick, let her see her child."

Lu Zhiyuan didn't know if she had seen her daughter's face clearly, but she must have heard her daughter cry and heard her husband say in her ear, "Our daughter looks like you, just as beautiful as you. Don't worry, she will definitely get married when she grows up."

The woman left with a smile.

Lu Zhiyuan stitched her wounds up beautifully, so she would be reborn as a beautiful woman in her next life.

The husband couldn't believe his wife was gone, just as he couldn't believe she was a killer. In his memory, his wife had always been timid; she would scream and yell even when killing a rabbit, let alone murder.

How could she be an assassin? How could she possibly be an assassin?

The husband stood before his wife, holding their newborn daughter, murmuring to himself, but his wife could no longer answer him.
