The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Xi Yu stood quietly in the courtyard with a solemn expression, his eyes fixed on the room where Ouyang Linlin was. His eyes were full of affection and expectation. He whispered in his heart, whether it was a boy or a girl, he only hoped that both mother and child would be safe.

Soon, Xiaohong came running over with a panicked look, red eyes, tears streaming down her face, and staggering steps.

Xi Yu saw this, frowned, and shouted with a worried look on his face: "Why are you so panicked!"

Xiaohong burst into tears and replied in a sobbing voice: "Prime Minister, the young lady had a difficult delivery, and there might be something unexpected..."

When Xi Yu heard this, his face turned pale, his lips trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of fear and anxiety.

"How could this be? Call the midwife immediately and make sure she is safe! Why are you crying? Take me there!"

Xiao Hong wiped her tears and sobbed, "Prime Minister, it is taboo for a man to be around when a woman gives birth."

Xi Yu's eyes widened, veins popped out on his forehead, and he roared, "It's already this time, why are you still caring about this!"

As he was speaking, the midwife arrived, panting. She looked at Xi Yu anxiously, her voice trembling.

"Mr. Prime Minister, the situation is critical. I am a little overwhelmed. What should I do?"

Xi Yu's chest heaved violently, his eyes full of determination.

"I don't care about those red tapes. You should do your best to rescue her. If there is any mistake, I will hold you accountable! Now, I must stay by her side!"

After saying that, he strode towards the delivery room. Xiaohong and the midwife looked at each other and had no choice but to follow him closely.

Xi Yu completely ignored the midwife's attempts to stop him and hurried towards the delivery room.

The midwife had to jog to catch up with him and stood in front of him, panting.

Xi Yu's footsteps came to an abrupt halt at the door of the delivery room. His eyes were fixed on the door, as if he wanted to see through it to see Ouyang Linlin inside. He shouted loudly: "Linlin, you must hold on! I am here, and I will not let anything happen to you!"

Then he turned around and gave orders to the midwife with a stern look.

"If anything goes wrong, you must protect the adults, but you can sacrifice the children. Do you hear me?"

The midwife nodded hurriedly, responded, and then turned and hurried into the delivery room.

Xi Yu paced back and forth at the door, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white, the worry and anxiety on his face becoming more and more intense, and he stood on tiptoe from time to time to try to catch any movement in the delivery room.

Xi Yu suddenly grabbed Xiao Hong who was about to rush to the delivery room. With a look of determination and urgency in his eyes, he said loudly: "Don't run around. Go to the clinic to find Song Wen. Maybe there is a way to get both of you."

Xiao Hong showed hesitation and said, "Sir, there are differences between men and women. Doctor Song is a man, so I'm afraid it will be inconvenient."

Xi Yu's eyes suddenly widened with anger, veins popped out on his forehead, and he shouted, "It's already this hour, why are you still fussing over such trivial matters! Go!"

Xiaohong trembled violently after hearing his shout. She didn't dare to say anything more and turned around and ran towards the clinic.

Xi Yu looked at Xiao Hong's receding back, then turned anxiously to look towards the delivery room. He paced back and forth at the door, muttering to himself, as if praying to God to keep Ouyang Linlin safe.

Xiaohong rushed out like an arrow, her brows furrowed, she was extremely anxious, and her mind was full of Ouyang Linlin's safety.

There was a gust of wind under her feet, her cheeks were hurt by the strong wind, and her hair was flying wildly in the wind.

As she ran, she thought to herself: Young lady is suffering so much, giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell. Why is the fate of women so miserable?

If I have to endure such severe pain even when giving birth, I am afraid I will never want to step into the cage of marriage in my life.

She bit her lower lip, her eyes were red and tears were welling up in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall. Her steps became more and more rapid as she rushed towards the clinic, and her figure gradually disappeared at the end of the road.

Xiaohong was running anxiously, when suddenly, a carriage rushed out from the street corner like a wild beast out of control.

Xiaohong widened her eyes in horror, the color drained from her face instantly, and her heart suddenly rose to her throat.

However, everything happened so suddenly that she had no time to dodge.

Accompanied by a terrifying crash, Xiaohong's slender body was thrown up heavily like a fallen leaf, and then fell weakly to the ground.

Her eyes were closed tightly, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, a trickle of blood slowly flowed from the corner of her mouth, and she fell into a coma.

But the carriage that caused the accident did not stop at all. The sound of horse hooves was like thunder, and the carriage sped away in a cloud of dust, leaving Xiaohong lying motionless on the cold ground, her life or death uncertain.

Xi Yu was outside the delivery room, like an ant on hot pan, wandering around anxiously.

Ouyang Linlin's cries of pain continued to come from the house, and the sound was like a sharp knife piercing his heart.

His brows were furrowed, and his hands were unconsciously tugging at the corners of his clothes, and every move seemed to be filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

The maids standing by looked at each other, their eyes full of panic and helplessness. They could only stand there dryly, not daring to breathe.

Xi Yu was in a state of extreme tension. As time passed, fatigue gradually came over him like a tide.

He couldn't help but yawn, but as soon as the sleepiness came up, he forced it away.

He shook his head vigorously, as if to shake off his fatigue. His eyes were still fixed on the door of the delivery room, and he kept repeating in his heart: "Linlin, you must be safe."

It felt like my feet had taken root and I didn't move a step.

In the delivery room, Ouyang Linlin's screams of pain came one after another. The sound was like a sharp arrow, piercing through the door of the delivery room and straight into Xi Yu's heart.

The midwife was so busy in the house that she was dizzy and her clothes were soaked with sweat.

Ouyang Linlin's face was as pale as paper, with beads of sweat rolling down her forehead. Her body kept shaking on the delivery bed. Her hands tightly grasped the sheets, her knuckles turning white, and she cried out in pain. Her voice was filled with the hardships of childbirth and the fear of the unknown.

Xi Yu heard it clearly outside the door and felt extremely distressed. He shouted at the midwife, "Grandma Wen, you must save the adult. It doesn't matter what happens to the child!"

The voice was somewhat hoarse and resolute.

At this moment, he was only concerned about Ouyang Linlin's safety, and he only hoped that she could survive this difficult time and return safely.

Xi Yu paced anxiously outside the door. Time seemed to be infinitely stretched, and every second was tormenting his heart.

Finally, the midwife came out, her forehead covered with sweat, and her expression was tired but with a hint of relief.

"Sir, the lady is saved, but... the child is gone."

Xi Yu's heart suddenly tightened, with mixed feelings, but he was relieved to hear that his wife was safe.

He asked hurriedly, "Can I come in?"

The midwife nodded.

Xi Yu's figure flashed and he quickly rushed into the room.

Ouyang Linlin's face was as pale as paper, she lay weakly on the bed, her eyes that used to be bright were now closed, her lips were bloodless.

Xi Yu walked quickly to the bed, slowly squatted down, held her cold hand, and called softly: "Linlin, I'm here." Ouyang Linlin's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes. Seeing Xi Yu, she forced a very faint smile, and her voice was as weak as a candle in the wind: "Husband, our child..."

Xi Yu felt a pain in his heart and put her hand on his cheek.

"Linlin, as long as you are safe, nothing else matters." His eyes were full of care and affection, as if expressing endless love and guilt.

The other maids all left tactfully, and the room instantly became quiet.

Xi Yu sat gently on the bed and hugged Ouyang Linlin's fragile body tightly in his arms, with such strength that it seemed as if he wanted to integrate her into his own bones and blood.

His chin rested on the top of her head, and his breath was full of heartache and love.

"Linlin, don't be afraid, I'm here." His whisper was like the warmest breeze in spring, blowing slowly through the cold ward.

Ouyang Linlin felt his strong embrace and her tears quietly soaked his clothes. In this sad moment, only each other's company became the comfort of their souls, as if all the troubles in the world had gone away, leaving only the warmth and tranquility of this embrace.

Xi Yu hugged Ouyang Linlin and gradually fell asleep in this quiet and slightly sad atmosphere.

His face looked a little tired, and his brows were slightly wrinkled even in his sleep, as if he was still worried about Ouyang Linlin's experience.

On the other side, Armas left the Huang Mansion in a hurry, his steps were so urgent that it seemed as if there was an evil ghost chasing him. He rushed all the way to the inn, without stopping, jumped on the horse, and rode away. The wind whistled in his ears, but it could not blow away the relief and anxiety in his heart after completing the task.

Recalling what he saw in Huang's mansion, the image of the princess resolutely jumping into the well was still clearly imprinted in his mind. He witnessed the whole process with his own eyes, which was enough to report to the king.

As the night deepened, the sound of the midnight gong echoed on the silent road. Armas, riding on his horse, felt waves of sleepiness coming over him like a tide.

He forced himself to keep going and walked forward for a long time until a remote village appeared in front of him.

At the edge of the village, he found a simple hotel. The dim light swayed in the wind, as if it was barely resisting the endless darkness.

Armas tied up the horse and dragged his tired body into the store.

The store was filled with a stale atmosphere. The boss came up to us sleepily and simply arranged a room for us.

Armas stepped into the small and cold room, and without even taking off his clothes, he fell headfirst onto the bed, instantly falling into a deep sleep. Only the whistling sound of the wind outside the window remained, as if telling of the loneliness and mystery of this long night.

The Huang residence's doorman led the doctor hurriedly across the courtyard and headed straight to the room where Linglong was.

Inside the room, Linglong was lying unconscious on the bed with a pale face and her hair scattered messily on the pillow.

The doctor walked quickly forward, placed his fingers on her slender wrist, closed his eyes slightly, and after a moment, his brows gradually relaxed.

He picked up a pen and dipped it in ink, quickly wrote a prescription, handed it to the doorman, and said, "Your wife is suffering from a heart attack caused by anger, but fortunately, she is not seriously injured. Take the medicine according to this prescription, boil it, take it, and rest for a while. She will slowly wake up."

The concierge took the prescription, thanked him repeatedly, and quickly sent the servant to the pharmacy to get the medicine.

After the servant left, the doorman stood by the bed, looking at Linglong's frail appearance, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The faint light of the morning sun shone through the window screen and gently sprinkled into the house. Xi Yu woke up slowly, feeling a little dazed for a moment. When he saw that he had slept next to Ouyang Linlin all night, he couldn't help but be slightly startled.

He subconsciously looked out the window. It was already bright outside. At this time in the past, there would have been maids and servants busy running around in the mansion.

But at this moment, the surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.

Xi Yu sat up gently, afraid to disturb Ouyang Linlin who was still sleeping.

He stared at her slightly haggard face, his heart filled with pity and guilt.

Thinking back to what happened last night, the tension and grief still linger in my heart.

Ouyang Linlin woke up slowly, and what came into her sight was Xiyu's concerned face.

There was still sadness in her eyes, and her voice was choked with sobs and self-blame.

"I am so incompetent that I can't even protect our children."

Xi Yu gently held her hand and said softly, "Don't blame yourself like this. I've said it before, the most important thing is that you're safe. Maybe we're not destined to have a child yet."

After saying this, Xi Yu turned around and wanted to tell the servants to prepare some nourishing food. He called the maid and carefully instructed, "Go to the kitchen and tell them to prepare some nourishing food such as bird's nest and donkey-hide gelatin. They must be cooked carefully. Madam needs to take good care of herself."

The maid took the order and left.

Xi Yufu sat back on the bed, gently brushed away the messy hair on Ouyang Linlin's forehead, and said softly: "Just rest and don't worry about anything else. I will always be by your side."

Ouyang Linlin looked at his determined eyes, and the endless sadness and self-blame in her heart seemed to have found a ray of comfort. She nodded slightly, but tears were still welling up in her eyes.

Ouyang Linlin gently pushed Xiyu's arm and said weakly but with concern: "You stayed with me for a long time last night, you must be very tired now, go back to your room and have a good rest, don't, don't tire yourself out."

Xi Yu looked at her still haggard face. Although he was a little worried, he couldn't bear to reject her kindness, so he nodded slightly in agreement.

When he stood up, Xiyu leaned down again, his eyes full of worry and reluctance, and earnestly warned Ouyang Linlin: "You must take good care of yourself. When I'm not around, you must be careful about everything and protect yourself."

Ouyang Linlin forced a smile and responded, "I understand. You can go now."

Xi Yu then slowly turned around and walked out of the house, looking back every few steps. His departing back seemed to reveal a deep concern.

Ouyang Linlin was half leaning against the head of the bed, with several maids serving her attentively.

At this time, a clever maid said softly, "Madam, you are so lucky. The Prime Minister's love for you is really touching. You don't know that most men in this world value offspring inheritance. If it were someone else, in such a critical moment, they would have chosen to abandon the mother and save the child. How could they be like the Prime Minister, who only hopes that you are safe and sound."

Ouyang Linlin smiled bitterly, feeling mixed emotions.

She knew very well that Xi Yu loved her deeply, but when she thought of the child she couldn't save, grief surged into her heart again like a tide.

She sighed softly and said, "This blessing was truly purchased at a huge price."

Upon seeing this, the maids fell silent and the house fell into a sad silence again. Only the occasional bird calls outside the window seemed to be telling the joys and sorrows of this courtyard.

Ouyang Linlin was originally immersed in the sorrow of losing her child. Her eyes inadvertently swept across the house, but found that Xiaohong was missing.

She was startled and asked quickly, "Where is Xiaohong?"

When the maids heard this, they looked around with surprise on their faces.

At this time, a clever maid said timidly: "Madam, I seem to remember that the Prime Minister arranged for Miss Xiaohong to go to the clinic to see Dr. Song last night. But we really don't know what happened afterwards."

Ouyang Linlin vaguely remembered that Xi Yu seemed to have given such instructions outside.

Ouyang Linlin was full of doubts, wondering why Xiaohong had not returned yet after going to the clinic to look for someone last night.

She felt uneasy, so she told a maid beside her, "Go to Xiaohong's room and see if you can find any clues."

The girl took the order and left in a hurry.

Ouyang Linlin sat on the bed, her brows furrowed, her thoughts in turmoil.

After a while, the little girl who went to check came back in a hurry and said in a panic: "Madam, Xiaohong is not in the room."

Ouyang Linlin's expression became more and more solemn, and the worry in her eyes spread like a tide.

Seeing this, several little maids hurriedly gathered around the bed and said in unison, "Don't worry, Madam. We will go out and look for her right away."

Ouyang Linlin nodded slightly and said softly, "Go quickly and come back soon. Make sure to search carefully."

The little girls responded in unison and filed out.

The room suddenly became quiet. Ouyang Linlin sat alone on the couch, her hands unconsciously clutching the corners of the quilt.

Her heart was filled with uneasiness, and various possibilities kept emerging in her mind. She just hoped that the little girls could bring back news about Xiaohong to dispel the haze lingering in her heart.

Xi Yu saw several little girls rushing around in the yard in a panic. They all looked flustered, and some even ran outside. They looked very abnormal.

Xi Yu felt it was very strange, so he hurriedly stepped forward and called out to them.

"What are you doing? Why don't you stay at home and serve Madam Ouyang properly? Why are you running around aimlessly like this?"

When the little girls heard Xi Yu's scolding, they stopped and their faces were full of anxiety.

One of the maids hurriedly replied: "Prime Minister, we have to go look for Xiaohong. It seems that Xiaohong didn't come back last night. We are worried that something happened to her."

When Xi Yu heard this, he was shocked, and suddenly remembered that he had asked Xiao Hong to find Song Shuwen yesterday. His heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he had a bad premonition.

"You didn't say anything. She didn't come back last night?" Xi Yu asked.

After several maids nodded, Xi Yu was very surprised, and blamed himself for not thinking of this problem this morning.

Did something really happen?
"Okay, go out and look for it quickly. Tell me as soon as you find it."

The little girls took the order and left quickly. At this time, a look of sadness appeared on Xi Yu's face.

Although Xiaohong is just a girl, he knows the position of Xiaohong in Ouyang Linlin's heart.

So he decided to go to Ouyang Linlin's room. (End of this chapter)
