C399 Escape
The child's gaze was mostly on Mu Ruqing. The small hands that were held together did not let go. Perhaps they were communicating.
"Why did mother fall asleep?"
"Why didn't she come and hug us?"
"Mother might be tired..."
The nun brought hot water and the aunt also came back. The ginseng slices in her hands were placed in Mu Ruqing's mouth by Lingyue.
Together with Lingyue, they helped Mu Ruqing up. The child's eyes moved along and his small face collapsed. His small mouth opened and was about to cry.
The two young aunts carried the two children separately in their arms. When they got closer to Mu Ruqing, they did not cry anymore.
Until Lingyue finished helping Mu Ruqing and put on her clothes, the two children had already fallen asleep.
After tidying up the bedding that was covered in blood, they changed into new ones.
Lingyue kept watch over Mu Ruqing just like that. Her eyes were completely bloodshot and she never left her side.
For an entire two hours, Mu Ruqing's fingers moved a bit, and she pursed her cracked lips.
"Your Ladyship? Your Ladyship?" Lingyue became nervous and called out twice.
After that, Mu Ruqing did not move. After Lingyue heard Mu Ruqing's words in the morning, her heart did not calm down and her entire person was very flustered. She did not care about anything else and directly shook Mu Ruqing's shoulder," Your Ladyship?! "
Perhaps Mu Ruqing was woken up by her shaking and slowly opened her somewhat black eyes, "En ~ ~"
Her voice was already so weak that it could not be heard and her face was as white as a piece of paper. At this time, Lingyue only noticed that Mu Ruqing was as thin as a tree branch.
"Lingyue, I want to eat meat." Mu Ruqing's voice finally became a little louder.
Lingyue quickly got up, "I will go now!"
Only Mu Ruqing and the child were left in the room.
Mu Ruqing saw that the child was sleeping soundly and wanted to touch the child. She stretched out her hand and pulled it back. She was afraid that she would wake the child up and at that time, she would be more reluctant to do so.
In the blink of an eye, she saw that there were still a few slices of ginseng by the pillow. She picked them all up and put them in her mouth.
She quietly looked at the child's eyes filled with love and guilt.
Lingyue carried the vegetables back. There were two meat dishes, one soup and one porridge. In this temple, only vegetables were eaten. Lingyue prepared the ingredients herself and made the rice.
Just when the food was ready, Mu Ruqing wanted to get up but Lingyue went over to support her.
After eating a few mouthfuls, she could not eat anymore. Mu Ruqing resisted the discomfort in her heart and escorted herself to eat a lot of meat.
"Your Ladyship, your body is too weak and eating like this is not appropriate." Lingyue could see her sadness and her heart ached for her.
Mu Ruqing closed her eyes and her voice paused, "I... am hungry."
After a while, Mu Ruqing put down her chopsticks and looked at Lingyue, "Did you remember what I told you this morning? "
Lingyue turned her head and pulled her clothes with her hands. She bit her lips and did not answer Mu Ruqing.
" That's enough. You can go out. " Mu Ruqing lowered her head.
"Your Ladyship!" Lingyue's tears rolled down again.
"Get out! You are not allowed to enter this room! I command you with my identity as the Mistress!" Mu Ruqing raised her head and her eyes were filled with killing intent. Her entire person had a fierce look.
Lingyue, however, saw the deepest gentleness in her eyes and could not step out no matter what.
Mu Ruqing threw the bowl, "Get out! Remember what Bengong said!"
This was the first time Mu Ruqing used her identity as the Empress to say such resolute words to Lingyue.
In the end, Lingyue still withdrew.
Mu Ruqing turned her head and looked at the child. After confirming that they had not woken up, she immediately closed her eyes and could not look anymore!
In the next second, she covered her chest and her entire expression became distorted.
The pain spread from the tip of her heart to her entire body. Her body could not hold on any longer and directly fell from the side of the stool. She fell onto the ground and curled up her body. Cold sweat broke out.
It turned out that the doctor had said that if she wanted to give birth, she would lose her life. At first, she did not believe it, but later on, her body told her that it was no longer possible.
After the pain passed, Mu Ruqing slowly got up. Her forehead was still beaded with sweat as she walked towards the back door. She covered her chest and did not dare to turn her head to look at the child on the bed.
Every step was heavy. Every step was filled with reluctance and tears.
The pain in her lower body was nothing compared to the mental pain.
He pushed open the door. There was no one outside. The nun had sent everyone away. Mu Ruqing had also arranged for the Praetorian Guard to be somewhere else.
Mu Ruqing's body, which was covered in slippers and sickbeds, headed towards the empty alley in Mo'an Temple. She passed through the vegetable house in Mo'an Temple and opened the last door.
Stepping on the soil, Mu Ruqing was about to regret it for a second. But when she thought of Miao Yingyu and Yuan Zhen, her heart became firm. She lifted her skirt and took the shovel that had been taken from the view. Using it as a support, he walked step by step into the depths of the forest.
In the evening, Yuan Zhen was a little anxious. At noon, he wanted to see Mu Ruqing but was stopped by Changxu. He just waited.
Miao Yingyu did not speak the entire time. Her eyes looked outside from time to time.
The nun gave the food to the two of them. Miao Yingyu put something in the food and looked at the anxious Yuan Zhen. "Let's eat before we go over."
"No!" Yuan Zhen could not sit still. He walked straight to the nun's room.
Miao Yingyu had an indescribable feeling on her face, but she still followed him.
Changxu also prepared to go to the room. Yu Longchen sent someone to ask when they would be going back. Changxu also prepared to go and ask Mu Ruqing personally.
When they ran into Yuan Zhen and ___, they didn't even have time to say a word before they walked over. Changxu also jogged over.
They arrived at the door.
They only saw Lingyue sitting in front of the door, paralyzed. Her eyes were lifeless, and she did not look well at all.
Changxu was worried and ran over to ask her, "What happened?"
Lingyue did not have any reaction.
Yuan Zhen secretly felt that something was wrong. He ran up the stairs and pushed the door. The door was locked from the inside and was about to hit the door.
Lingyue suddenly stood up and pushed Yuan Zhen away. She protected the door and shouted, "Get lost!"
Before the people outside could say anything, the sound of a child crying came from the room.
Miao Yingyu's heart shook, "How can there be a child crying?"
"Get out of the way!" Yuan Zhen also became fierce. It seemed that he did not recognize Lingyue for the interview and wanted to call her.
Changxu also came over to protect Lingyue and blocked Yuan Zhen. "What do you want to do? "
"Is Qing inside? " What Yuan Zhen worried about the most had happened. He hid it well, afraid that Mu Ruqing would find out, but it was too late now.
" Your Ladyship ordered us not to go in! " Lingyue had a ferocious look on her face.
"Move aside!" Yuan Zhen bitterly said that it was useless. He was going to use force. Of course, Changxu would not sit by and do nothing.
After a few moves.
Yuan Zhen was forced back a few steps by Changxu. Miao Yingyu heard the child crying in the room and had a bad premonition. "The child is crying badly. Aren't you afraid that something will happen to the child?"
Changxu seemed to have reacted and pinched Lingyue's shoulder. "Where is Your Ladyship?"
Lingyue's legs went soft and her body did not make much noise. She sat down and only shook her head.
"Move aside!" Yuan Zhen's anger rose. This time, Changxu did not stop him but pulled Lingyue to the side.
No matter how Lingyue cried, she did not let go.
The door was knocked open.
There was no one in the room except for the two crying children.
"Where are they?! I am asking you, where is Qing?!" Yuan Zhen's neck turned red. He wanted to grab Lingyue as if he had gone crazy.
No matter what, Changxu would protect Lingyue and push Yuan Zhen. "Calm down! Maybe Your Ladyship just went out for a while!"
"Have you seen a mother who left the child aside and did not care about it? " Yuan Zhen pointed at the child on the bed, and Miao Yingyu also came over to pull him!
Changxu was speechless, but his heart became more and more afraid.
