My Lady is well

Chapter 175 Gathering

Shen Yueyao's fingers trembled unconsciously, and her palms began to sweat. She held Jin'er's hand tightly, feeling nervous and afraid, and said in a trembling voice.

"Jin'er, I might be giving birth."

Jin'er was trembling all over. It was her first time to experience childbirth, and it was her master giving birth as well. She was nervous and her hands were shaking.

"What, what, what should I do, Master."

Fine beads of sweat oozed out of Shen Yueyao's forehead and rolled down her delicate and smooth skin. She gritted her teeth, forced herself to calm down, and endured the pain.

"Go and call the midwife to my room, then go to the front yard and tell Qi Feng to... tell him to keep it for me, and I'll give him more money."

Jin'er nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, Master, I'll help you to your room first."

Shen Yueyao endured the pain for a while and felt much better now. Then she could hear the sound of weapons faintly in her ears.

She had no time to think about the situation outside. After half an incense stick of time, the pain started again.

This time the pain was more obvious. After repeating this for a while, Shen Yueyao felt her pubic bone cracking little by little. She raised her neck in pain and grabbed the corner of the quilt tightly. Sweat was pouring down her forehead, and a few strands of sweaty hair stuck to her cheeks.

The midwife was directing the procedure.

"Madam, please inhale first, then exhale slowly. Don't use too much force yet."

Shen Yueyao's consciousness was worn away by the pain. She would cry in pain when the knife cut her. Giving birth... was too painful...

She was talking nonsense.

"It hurts so much... I don't want to have another baby..."

The midwife was stunned. This young lady actually said such a thing. However, the pain of childbirth is unbearable for ordinary people. Seeing that she was young, she kept comforting her.

"Young Madam, look at what you said? Don't worry, just listen to me, and you'll be fine after getting through this."

Shen Yueyao felt like her lower body was about to split apart with pain. After an unknown amount of time, she felt like she had no strength left. She could only vaguely watch the midwife's mouth opening and closing, but could not hear what she was saying.

Outside, several bandits holding swords attacked Qi Feng together. Qi Feng, holding a long sword, leaped up, spun around and swung several swords, knocking down the weapons of several people, as fast as a meteor.

Jin'er was stunned and sighed in her heart, how could he be so powerful?

Fortunately, I didn't let him go.

Seeing that they were no match for him, the bandits added a few more people to surround him.

The bearded bandit leader riding on a horse, with a big knife on his shoulder, looked at him lazily with empty eyes. This guy is a tough guy and not easy to deal with.

He twisted his neck and perked himself up.

"I think you have some real skills. Why do you want to be a guard? Why don't you follow me up the mountain?"

Qi Feng frowned, thinking of what Shen Yueyao had said before.

Some of his men have families, so it's not appropriate for them to do assassin business with him. But if it were these bandits...

He thought for a while and said, "Do you... dare to kill the emperor?"

These words stunned the bandit leader on the horse, who looked at him puzzledly.

What's this kid's way?

The bandit tilted his head and asked, "We bandits only want to rob some money. We will kill people if we encounter stubborn resistance. If the whole family resists, you can't blame us for killing and setting fire."

The leader is different. He is clearly committing robbery, murder and arson.

It sounds like they are helpless victims.

Qi Feng looked at his fat head and big ears and his shameless look, and suddenly felt a little annoyed.

He suddenly understood why those rich men chose bodyguards who were not only strong in fighting but also good-looking. His behavior really made people feel uncomfortable.

I only heard the bandit leader say: "Boy, you have a lot of dreams."

Qi Feng raised his eyebrows and nodded confidently.

The bandit said earnestly, "In our line of work, if we are caught by the government, we will die, but our families will not be implicated. If we assassinate the emperor, it will not only cost us our heads. This is too risky. What kind of reward can you give us?"

"..."

Jin Er saw something was wrong! Why were they still chatting?

This guy wants to collude with bandits and assassinate the emperor!

He is indeed unreliable.

She interrupted their conversation loudly.

"Master Qi, my mistress is about to give birth, and I asked you to stop her. She said she would give you... more money!"

The bandit looked at him and said, "Brother, how about this? I'll rob this family and give you half of the money."

Qi Feng smiled and said, "That won't work. I don't manage other families. I have received wages from this family. If you want to rob this family, you really have to get past me."

"Then there's nothing to talk about."

Qi Feng nodded and hummed in agreement.

The bandit leader ordered: "Come at me all together."

"Look at this posture, it's a desperate business. If the money is too little, I won't do it!"

Jin Er said hurriedly: "Don't worry, as long as you stop them, the master will not treat you unfairly."

Qi Feng was fighting with several people when the bandit who was watching outside shouted.

"Boss, soldiers are coming. Lots of them!"

Qi Feng and the bandits were both shocked. Shen Yueyao was giving birth right now, and it would be a bit tricky for the soldiers to come at this time.

When the bandit leader heard that the soldiers were coming, he immediately turned his horse around and prepared to leave the yard, but unfortunately, he was one step too late.

The officers and soldiers had surrounded the yard inside and out. A group of officers and soldiers rushed in with unstoppable force and surrounded the people inside.

Qi Feng was shocked. These were not soldiers, but a group of ignorant bandits.

This is clearly the emperor's black-armored guard!

A person was walking in from outside, wearing a black brocade robe with delicate Qilin embroidery patterns. He walked gracefully, with a cold face, and his eyes were slightly narrowed as he looked over. He was chilled to the bone, and filled with murderous intent. The atmosphere was tense to the extreme.

When the bandit leader saw this, he thought, how can this be his opponent?

Before anyone could say anything, he dismounted and threw away his weapons. When the minions saw that their boss had thrown down his weapons and surrendered, they naturally followed suit.

But the visitor's eyes didn't stay on them at all, he just held Qi Feng tightly.

Jin'er hid at the door and rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

Oh my god! The emperor is here!

What should I do?

We must inform the master immediately.

Jing Ruzhang's eyes were cold and murderous, and he spoke in a chilling voice.

"I advise you not to put up any unnecessary resistance. What about her?"

Qi Feng looked at him with disdain, murderous intent in his eyes, and sneered.

"It moves really fast."

"I'll ask you again, where is she?"

Jin'er ran out in a hurry, her eyes full of anxiety and panic, and knelt on the ground and said tremblingly.

"Your Majesty, the midwife said that the master is having a difficult birth."
