Bai Mo washed the blood off his hands. He had just been concentrating on stitching, and now that he had relaxed he noticed the sounds of fighting outside. At first he thought it was Xiao Yichen setting off firecrackers to celebrate the birth of his son, but he didn't expect... someone would come to cause trouble at this time.
Aunt Rong nervously ran to Bai Mo holding the little princess in her arms and said, "Godly Doctor, what should we do?"
An assassin broke in and started fighting with the Emperor in the yard, and the noise was so loud. The Empress had just given birth and was so tired that she fell asleep. What should be done with the elderly, the weak, the women and the children in the room
Mo Xiang also hugged the little prince tightly in her arms, and looked worriedly at Ji Lingxue who was sleeping on the bed. It seemed that her master was very tired, otherwise such a loud noise would not have woken her up.
Bai Mo raised his eyebrows and thought, this couldn't be another plan of Xiao Yichen. He might have guessed that someone would take advantage of Ji Lingxue's delivery to cause trouble. In order to find out the person behind the plan, he withdrew half of the guards from Chenhua Palace.
Bai Mo waved his hands, looking relaxed and natural, "Don't panic, don't panic, Yi Chen is guarding outside so they won't get in. There's also this genius doctor guarding inside so nothing serious will happen."
As soon as Bai Mo finished speaking, there were two loud bangs and two sounds of tiles breaking came from the roof. Two masked men in black fell from mid-air, holding white blades that flashed a cold light under the candlelight.
"Ah!" Aunt Rong screamed in shock and her face turned pale. Fortunately, she still knew that she was holding the little princess in her arms. She shrank her body and hid behind Bai Mo, as if she had grabbed the last straw.
Although Rong Mama was an old veteran in the palace, she had never seen such a murderous scene.
Mo Xiang is much calmer than Madam Rong. She has seen too many storms around Ji Lingxue and has become calm a long time ago.
She placed the little prince in her arms next to Ji Lingxue, and she stood in front of the two of them, using her body as a wall to support the mother and son. Unless she fell down, she would never allow anyone to hurt her master and the little master.
Bai Mo's mouth twitched. Does he have a bad mouth? Why does everything he says come true
Aunt Rong nervously grabbed the corner of Bai Mo's clothes and said, "Divine Doctor, one on two, can you do it?"
Bai Mo counted his fingers and said, "I haven't exercised for a long time. It's just that the venue is a little small, not enough for this miracle doctor to show his strength!" As he said that, he moved and attacked the man in black who was closest to him, while the other man in black attacked Mo Xiang who looked weaker.
Mo Xiang curled up a sneer at the corner of his mouth, but stood there motionless. Bai Mo dealt with a few moves and turned around. He raised his hand to grab the small stool and smashed it at the back of the black-clothed man who attacked Mo Xiang. The black-clothed man turned around and split the stool flying towards his face in two with the blade in his hand, and the broken wood fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Bai Mo gave Mo Xiang a look that said, "No need to thank me, it's just a piece of cake."
Mo Xiang rolled her eyes. What a meddlesome guy! Did she ask him to save her
If he hadn't meddled in her business, the man in black would have taken two more steps and the poison she had spread in the air would have taken effect long ago, but it was disrupted by him.
Such a loud noise woke up even Ji Lingxue who was sleeping soundly. She opened her heavy eyelids and looked around. When she saw Rong Mama, who was still holding the baby in the swaddling clothes, behind Bai Mo and her little son sleeping beside her, she felt much more at ease.
Mo Xiang helped Ji Lingxue up and said, "Master, are you okay?"
Ji Lingxue looked at the two black-clad assassins who had appeared in the room, then turned to Mo Xiang and asked, "Where is the emperor?"
The fact that two assassins suddenly appeared shows that they are quite skilled and very familiar with the terrain in the palace. Their goal is also very clear, which is to disrupt her delivery.
Xiao Yichen must have been prepared, but he didn't have any guards or even secret guards. It seemed that someone had led them away.
Mo Xiang said, "Master, there are who knows how many waves of assassins have come from outside. The emperor has been tripped up. They were fighting outside just now, and now the sound is getting farther and farther away. They have been lured away."
Ji Lingxue nodded. Aunt Rong saw that Ji Lingxue had woken up and ran towards her happily. Suddenly, a figure flashed in front of her eyes and her hands were empty. The baby in the cradle had been snatched away by the black-clad assassin. Aunt Rong exclaimed, "Ah... Give the little princess back to me!"
The black-clad assassin sneered, and rushed out from the hole in the roof. Bai Mo wanted to chase him but was tripped by another assassin, and the two of them fought each other.
Mo Xiang rushed out, not forgetting to turn back and say to Ji Lingxue, "Master, I will bring the little princess back right away!" As soon as she finished speaking, her figure disappeared into the night.
Rong Mama burst into tears, wishing she could die in front of Ji Lingxue to apologize, "My queen, it's all my fault... It's my fault... If anything happens to the little princess, I will have to die..."
Ji Lingxue frowned. She hated to hear such discouraging words. Although she was also worried that her newborn daughter would be kidnapped before she could even drink her own milk, she patiently comforted Rong Mama: "Mama, don't say that... It's not your fault. Even if it wasn't you, she would have been kidnapped."
After all, she is Xiao Yichen’s newborn daughter, and also their softest and most fatal weakness.
Rong Mama continued to kowtow and apologize, "I was wrong. No matter whether you blame me or not, I cannot forgive myself. If I had been calmer and more careful, the little princess would not have been kidnapped... Now her whereabouts are unknown and her life or death is unknown."
The more Rong Mama spoke, the more worried Ji Lingxue became, but her body wouldn't allow it. The difficult childbirth had drained her of all her strength, and now she didn't even have the strength to move. She could only pray that God would have mercy on her daughter and not let her suffer.
Bai Mo held a scalpel in his hand and stabbed it into the aorta at the neck of the black-clad assassin. This is the most fatal shot, and once all the blood flows out, the person will die.
The black-clad assassin fell to the ground with his eyes wide open, and a large pool of blood gradually spread out on the ground.
Bai Mo turned his head to look at Ji Lingxue, who had a pale face and lifeless eyes, "Are you okay?" Why did it feel like there was no life in Ji Lingxue's eyes at this moment, as if all his soul had fled.
Ji Lingxue murmured: "Bai Mo, my daughter was kidnapped..."
Bai Mo nodded, "I'm glad you're okay. I'll go help you get it back." As he said that, Bai Mo flew out. His figure was as fast as lightning and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Bai Mo ran into Xiao Yichen when he was leaving. Xiao Yichen asked, "Did something happen in Chenhua Palace?"
Bai Mo nodded: "Two assassins came and cooperated to kidnap the newborn princess. Mo Xiang went after them, and I was planning to go after them."
The assassin who disguised himself as a royal guard just now deliberately led him away, and the assassin did enter the imperial kitchen and transferred the patrolling royal guards away.
It is indeed a good strategy to make a feint to the east and attack in the west.
Xiao Yichen's solemn face became more gloomy. Who else would come to make him unhappy at this time? Yuchi Gongru was already dead, Ji Yuqing was gone, and Yiyun was also driven out of the palace by him.
"Do you know which direction we are going?" Xiao Yichen asked.
Bai Mo said: "I'm afraid I have to leave the palace now."
The two men used their lightness skills to fly towards the palace gate. On the bluestone steps at the palace gate, they found Mo Xiang and the black-clad assassin lying in a pool of blood, holding the baby.
Bai Mo picked up the baby from Mo Xiang's hands and handed it to Xiao Yichen. He checked the breath of Mo Xiang and the assassin, shook his head, and indicated that there was no hope of saving the baby.
Mo Xiang grabbed Bai Mo's hand and said weakly, "I got... the little princess... back." As she spoke, blood kept coming out of her mouth.
Bai Mo nodded, "Girl, I really underestimated you. You are so powerful."
Mo Xiang smiled bitterly, "I used poison..." but I just got poisoned by accident.
Bai Mo: "Is there anything else you want me to tell you?"
Mo Xiang nodded, and tried to look up at Xiao Yichen who was holding the baby in the swaddling clothes, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty... I tried my best... The little princess... was also poisoned... This poison is very strange... I can't cure it..."
Xiao Yichen took one look at the baby with purple lips in the cradle, and the softest part of his heart was touched, and he inexplicably wanted to cry.
Bai Mo said: "Girl, don't worry, as long as I live one day, I will definitely find a way to save her."
Mo Xiang smiled with her teeth showing, and the blood at the corner of her mouth made that smile look so sad and beautiful...
Mo Xiang: "Please... Please tell my master... I... I can't serve her anymore..."
Bai Mo nodded, "Yes, I will tell you."
Mo Xiang smiled, but the smile on the corners of his mouth gradually faded. He closed his eyes weakly and fell asleep forever.
Xiao Yichen was holding the swaddling baby, emitting a cold aura. The imperial guards hurried over, knelt down and apologized for being late in rescuing the emperor.
Xiao Yichen ordered coldly: "Investigate for me, who did it." None of the assassins today are alive, and there is no way to know who is behind the scenes.
A ray of red sun slowly rose through the dark clouds, and it was daybreak.
"Empress, you haven't slept all night. You should take a rest first. I will take care of you and the little prince..." Aunt Rong knelt in front of Ji Lingxue and advised earnestly.
Ji Lingxue's eyes were red. She had just survived a difficult childbirth, and now her daughter was kidnapped. It was natural for her to feel upset and uneasy. Aunt Rong felt very guilty.
Tap, tap, there were footsteps coming from the door. Ji Lingxue looked up expectantly and saw Xiao Yichen coming with the sun behind him, holding the little princess who had been lost and found in his arms.
Ji Lingxue cried with joy, "You're back, bring him here and let me see him."
Xiao Yichen walked to Ji Lingxue and placed his two children beside her. The little princess, who had just returned from a walk outside, was still sleeping soundly except for some purple corners of her mouth.
Xiao Yichen said: "The identity of the assassin is currently under investigation. The princess was poisoned by him. I asked Bai Mo, and the poison is not fatal, but..."
"Just what?" Ji Lingxue asked, her hand gently stroking her daughter's face, feeling happy and guilty.
Xiao Yichen was silent for a moment and said, "In order to save the little princess... Mo Xiang was poisoned and died."
A tear slid down from the corner of Ji Lingxue's eye and fell on the bedding, forming a flower.
Ji Lingxue murmured: "Did she have any last words..."
Xiao Yichen nodded, repeated Mo Xiang's words, patted Ji Lingxue on the shoulder and comforted her: "Xue'er, don't blame yourself... I promised you that I would avenge Mo Xiang, posthumously confer her the title of Princess, bury her properly with the treatment of a princess, and give her family a generous gift..."
