Chapter 308 Pulled Through to Meet You
The slight noise on the eaves made Bai Aoxue vigilant immediately.
Although she was weak at the moment because the effect of poison that made her lose all the force, she could still deal a fatal blow to the enemy!
Holding the daggers tightly in her sleeves, Bai Aoxue sat on the bed, staring at the eaves.
After a while, a figure in black appeared before Bai Aoxue.
“Greetings, Mistress. I’m your subordinate, Ju Xiao!” The man said in a deep voice, kneeling on one knee in front of Bai Aoxue.
Hearing his words, Bai Aoxue was slightly stunned and then felt relieved.
“So, you’re one of the subordinates of Jun Yeyan. Get up.” Bai Aoxue said blandly, looking at Ju Xiao.
Her words sounded calm, without a mood swing of surprise.
Ju Xiao got up, looked at Bai Aoxue and said, “Mistress, don’t you wonder whether I lie to you?”
Bai Aoxue gently said, “Jun Yeyan once told me that one of his subordinates worked undercover beside Qi Liange although I don’t know who he is. Now you come to me, so the truth comes out.”
Hearing that, Ju Xiao paused for a while and said, “Mistress, I’m here to tell you that Master has already been on the way to rescue you. I believe he will arrive soon. Before his arrival, Mistress, you can’t make Qi Liange suspect you.”
Hearing Ju Xiao’s words, Bai Aoxue calmed her shock and excitement down, nodded and said, “I know. But Qi Liange doesn’t know that Jun Yeyan is coming to the Nanyue Dynasty, does he?”
Ju Xiao shook his head and said, “From my perspective, Qi Liange doesn’t know, but it is only a matter of time. If Master doesn’t arrive in five days, the conferring ceremony will be held. I will manage to take you to leave at any cost!”
Hearing Ju Xiao’s words, Bai Aoxue hesitated and said, “Even if I will leave, I can’t be detected by Qi Liange in case that a dispute or fighting will harm my unborn baby.”
When Ju Xiao heard Bai Aoxue ‘s words, he thought of Bai Aoxue’s weakness and regretfully said, “Mistress, please forgive me. I was too anxious to take the little master into consideration.”
Bai Aoxue shook her head and said, “It’s okay. If possible, find a medicine for me. Now I lack this medicine to detoxify my poison.”
Ju Xiao nodded as a reply.
“By the way, do you know where is Nalan Youhong now?” Bai Aoxue suddenly thought of Nalan Youhong and asked blandly.
“Nalan Youhong was detained in Qi Liange’s jail. No one except Qi Liange had been there. I tried to rescue him but never succeeded. Without the map of the jail, I can’t rescue him out,” Ju Xiao said with a slight frown.
Indeed, there are a multitude of traps in Qi Liange’s jail.
“Exactly, I will go to see Nalan Youhong tomorrow. I will remember the routes inside, and you come to me tomorrow night to get the route map. Then we can discuss how to rescue Nalan Youhong,” Bai Aoxue said her plan out.
Hearing Bai Aoxue’s words, Ju Xiao showed an expression of joy in his eyes.
With the route map of the jail, rescuing Nalan Youhong was around the corner.
“I will come here at the same time tomorrow. Mistress, take care of yourself. I have met Li Xiao and others, and we will take you to leave when the time comes!” Ju Xiao said cautiously to Bai Aoxue.
Bai Aoxue nodded and watched Ju Xiao leave.
She didn’t expect that the person whom Jun Yeyan planted in the Nanyue Dynasty was deeply trusted by Qi Liange. Even Qi Liange himself didn’t expect that the person he trusted so much turned out to be his rival....
Early in the next morning, Qi Liange came to pick up Bai Aoxue after holding court.
“Have you eaten already?” Looking at Bai Aoxue seated in the yard, Qi Liange asked concernedly.
Bai Aoxue nodded and said, “Yes, I have.”
“Have you ever taken that medicine? The imperial physician said that you should take this medicine to secure the baby’s health until it is stable after five months,” Qi Liange said blandly, looking at Bai Aoxue.
Hearing Qi Liange’s words, Bai Aoxue stretched out her hands to stroke her lower abdomen, saying, “Yes, I have taken it. Don’t worry.”
Seeing that, Qi Liange smiled slightly.
He had fantasized about that many times. She sat on a soft chair, touching the slightly raised belly, with a smile on the corner of her eyes, which always made him feel warm.
Just standing by and guarding her, he felt satisfied.
No fantasy was so real as the scene happening now as if they were husband and wife, waiting for their children to be born.
He was in a trance for a while, hoping that time would fly and they would grow old so that they could stay together for a lifetime.
With a wry smile, Qi Liange slightly shook his head and said, “Let’s go. I’ll take you to see Nalan Youhong.”
Bai Aoxue nodded, raised herself by the maidservant and followed Qi Liange out of the palace.
After several turns with Qi Liange, Bai Aoxue finally came to the so-called jail according to Ju Xiao.
She followed Qi Liange into the jail. Although she was reluctant, she was supported by Qi Liange all the way while the maidservant stayed outside waiting.
Bai Aoxue looked around carefully, keeping all the layouts in mind.
After a short while, they came to an end.
“He’s over there. Can you walk there alone?” Qi Liange pointed with his fingers at a short distance, looking at Bai Aoxue and asking blandly.
Seeing that, Bai Aoxue nodded slightly and said, “Yes, I can.”
After saying, she slowly walked there alone.
But she didn’t know that Qi Liange behind her looked at her with a bit of speechless sadness.
And there, Nalan Youhong slowly raised his head after hearing the footsteps, and he saw the figure he didn’t expect.
“You... why are you here?” Nalan Youhong looked at Bai Aoxue and asked her in shock.
Bai Aoxue looked at Nalan Youhong. His face was a little gaunt, and the original gorgeous clothes that had not changed for a long time now had some stains. He looked less arrogant and uninhibited but had more vicissitudes of suffering.
“It’s a long story. I was invited to the Nanyue Dynasty as a guest.” Bai Aoxue looked at Nalan Youhong and said blandly.
Hearing Bai Aoxue’s words, Nalan Youhong glanced at Qi Liange who was not far away and said with a wry smile, “That day, Mumian and I were going to find you, but we were ambushed by his subordinates at the bottom of the cliff and brought here. What about Mumian? How is Mumian now? Did he harm Mumian?”
When Bai Aoxue saw Nalan Youhong was so worried about Mumian, she smiled and said, “You can be at ease. Mumian is fine now, and I saw her yesterday.”
Hearing Bai Aoxue’s words, Nalan Youhong felt relieved and began to look at Bai Aoxue carefully.
“You....” Looking at Bai Aoxue’s slightly swollen belly, Nalan Youhong was a bit shocked.
“It’s Jun Yeyan’s child,” Bai Aoxue said with a chuckle, which made Nalan Youhong be in the trance for a while.
“You can be relieved to stay here. When the time comes, he will come to pick you up and take you home,” Nalan Youhong looked at Bai Aoxue and said softly.
Hearing Nalan Youhong’s words, Bai Aoxue was slightly stunned and then said, “So do you. When the time comes, someone will come to pick you up.”
Hearing Bai Aoxue say so, Nalan Youhong laughed and said, “But you have to let him make some change for me to eat because the food here is too awful to swallow!”
Bai Aoxue looked at Nalan Youhong, gently nodded and said, “Then I should leave. I will tell Mumian that you are well and let her not worry about you.”
Nalan Youhong nodded and said, “You should be more careful as well.”
Bai Aoxue nodded, glanced at Nalan Youhong again and turned away.
Nalan Youhong looked at the back of Bai Aoxue and smiled. This time, God finally did not treat Jun Yeyan badly.
On the way back, Bai Aoxue asked for the change of food for Nalan Youhong and Qi Liange readily agreed.
After sending Bai Aoxue back to the palace, Qi Liange did not stay to eat but left.
Later, Ju Xiao came to Bai Aoxue’s palace furtively. Bai Aoxue roughly painted a route map of the jail for Ju Xiao and told him what need be paid attention everywhere in the jail.
Both of them thought that on the day of the conferring ceremony, Ju Xiao would bring someone in to exchange with Bai Aoxue, who would follow Ju Xiao to leave. And Li Xiao would rescue Nalan Youhong and others in disorder.
The day before the conferring ceremony, the capital of the Nanyue Dynasty was heavily fortified, but the atmosphere of nationwide celebration didn’t decrease at all.
Bai Aoxue sighed slightly as the sunset sank. After taking the medicine decoction, she went to bed early. Since she had confirmed the plan with Ju Xiao that they would act tomorrow. She must rest well and be prepared to leave.
The antidote had been formulated. After taking it at midnight, it would take effect tomorrow.
Thinking dizzily, she fell asleep quietly.
During this time, it was probably because of her pregnancy that she was more lethargic. And the pregnancy sickness came late, which really tortured her. She had lost a lot of weight these days.
Qi Liange was also anxious for her health, but now he could do nothing but nurse her body by traditional medicine decoction.
In the trance, Bai Aoxue felt that someone was stroking her cheek, but she didn’t want to avoid it. This feeling was so familiar that she would like to shed tears.
She wanted to open her eyes and take a look, but her eyelids didn’t cooperate with her at all. She just felt that the person sighed softly and smoothed her hair gently.
Then she fell asleep again.
Bai Aoxue didn’t know that Jun Yeyan and his men finally arrived at the Nanyue Dynasty after the hardships of a long journey in the evening.
After Li Xiao and his men came to meet them, Jun Yeyan couldn’t wait to enter the Imperial Palace of the Nanyue Dynasty, escaping all eyeliners and guards, and finally found Bai Aoxue’s palace.
When he arrived at the palace, there were several eunuchs and maids waiting outside. A slight light was leaked from the inside.
Jun Yeyan entered the room furtively, but there was nobody. When he passed the front hall to the back room, he found the person he missed day and night.
The sharp chin and thin body made his heart hurt like a tear.
The pale face had almost no trace of blood, and the body was like a fragile object, making people dare not touch it.
Walking silently to Bai Aoxue and watching the thin figure, Jun Yeyan couldn’t help but feel distressed.
