The almighty daughter has become Chi Ye's favorite
Chapter 234 Now that I've left, why do I need another chapter!
Chapter 234 Why Come Back Since You Left!
From the moment she decided to come to Beizhou, Mu Qian knew that it was impossible to see them forever, as long as she entered Beizhou, she would see them again sooner or later.
The two finally sat face to face in the hotel where Mu Qian and Chi Si were staying.
But this meeting seemed a little different from last time.
Ling Su changed out of Nanzhou's clothes, and wore a traditional Beizhou-style robe, with begonia flowers displayed on it with silver silk threads.
How lively she was in such a skirt when she was a girl, but now wearing this long skirt, she has more maternal brilliance.
"You're looking for me because of Helian Shang?" Mu Qian asked straight to the point.
Lingsu glanced around, Lili who was in charge of taking care of her was standing not close but not far away, she could hear their conversation.
"I want to eat red cakes, go down and buy them for me."
Of course Lili knew that Madam wanted to push her away, so she turned around and went outside the hotel without saying anything.
"We don't need to beat around the bush anymore, I already know the purpose of you and Chi Si coming to Beizhou." Ling Su said.
Mu Qian looked back, and Chi Si had already started handling official business on the other side.
Every night, people who come back from investigations from all over Beizhou will summarize the information and hand it over to Heng Li, who will then come over and report to Chi Si.
In order to find the descendants of the ghost clan, they seem to be working hard.
"After we returned to Licheng, there were several times more news from all over Intercontinental every day than before. He is almost exhausting all his efforts to find the descendants of the ghost clan. I think Miss Yun should be able to give me an explanation."
Mu Qian looked at the person in front of her, and her mannerisms were quite different from before.
That innocent girl finally matured gradually, which is very good.
"The most important thing for you now is to take care of your health and give birth to this child safely. That's the most important thing." Mu Qian just said.
Lingsu tightened her hand holding the cup, and her face was obviously not very good, "You don't have to avoid the serious ones, if you don't want to tell me, I have a way to find out by myself."
Regarding her persecution, Mu Qian did not intend to tell the truth.
She knew that Lingsu had already recognized her, and there was no need to say some things, as both of them understood each other in their hearts.
"If Helian Shang was willing to tell you, you wouldn't come to my place." Mu Qian only replied.
These words made Ling Su completely collapse, she sneered and suddenly stretched out her hand, grabbing Mu Qian's hand on the table.
A sharp pain came from the palm, as if something had pierced into the flesh, Mu Qian frowned slightly, but did not make any attack.
"Are you laughing at me?!" Lingsu's eyes were red, "I know everyone is laughing at me, calling me little lady, isn't it just making fun of me as little wife?!"
Lingsu held her hand more and more vigorously, and it seemed that a hot and humid liquid gushed out of her palm.
"Everyone looks down on me, I can't even keep my husband's heart, is it funny? Do you think I'm a joke from the beginning to the end?!"
Her voice suddenly increased, attracting the attention of others in the hall.
Chi Si raised his eyes and saw Mu Qian who was being entangled by Ling Su. The man frowned and got up, and walked over with strides.
"Since you have already left, why do you want to come back? Since you have chosen not to contact any of us, you should disappear completely!!"
The last words seemed to come from her trying her best.
Chi Si stepped forward to separate the two, and when he saw the blood on Mu Qian's hand, the man's expression froze.
Before he could attack, he was grabbed by the people around him.
Mu Qian shook her head at him.
Lili also bought her things and came back. Seeing this situation, she hurriedly took the driver up to block Lingsu.
"Mrs. Helian, I don't want to see you again." Chi Si only said one sentence.
Lili supported Lingxu, and was a little at a loss when she saw the blood on her hands. When did the lady get hurt?
Now if you have wounds on your body, you don't know how to explain to the marshal when you go back.
"Miss Yun..." Lili was about to say something when she was grabbed by the people around her.
"Let's go back."
Lili could only help her to walk outside the hotel, until she walked out of the gate, she dared not let out the breath she was holding back.
The look in the eyes of that gentleman just now is really frightening to death.
If Miss Yun hadn't been holding on to him, she had the feeling that all of them would die there.
"Why are you stopping me?" Chi Si looked down at her.
Mu Qian smiled lightly, she had a vague bad feeling in her heart, and she didn't know why.
"From the moment I picked her up, protecting her has almost become my instinct. During those days in Beizhou, she never left and took care of me."
There has long been a family-like relationship between them.
"Go back and treat your wound." Chi Si grabbed her wrist and headed for the elevator.
Mu Qian took a break and turned back to look at Heng Li who had been silent all this time, "Arrange someone to follow her and listen to what's going on in the Wei'an Army building."
Heng Li nodded and walked out, Chi Si led people into the room.
"There's still time to worry about others."
Mu Qian watched as he took the medicine box and came over and squatted in front of her, Lingsu's fingernails almost sank into her skin.
Then as she pulled and scratched, of course a lot of blood was brought out, which looked a bit shocking.
"It's pretty ruthless." Chi Si took an alcohol swab to disinfect her, "Just like this, you still have to protect her."
Mu Qian shook her head, the doubts in her eyes hadn't dissipated, "It's just because she is ruthless, she is very soft-tempered, even if she is bullied to the top of her head, she can only scold at most."
After all, after being with her for so long, Mu Qian couldn't understand Lingsu's temperament.
Uncharacteristically, there must be something wrong.
"Have you ever thought about what has changed during the time you left? Whether the person in front of you now is still the person you knew at the beginning, and the original intention remains the same."
Mu Qian understands Chi Si's meaning, people's hearts are unpredictable, people who get along day and night will change, let alone leave for a long time.
But she believes that she can see people correctly, and more importantly, she also believes in Lingsu's behavior.
"I took her name. When I picked her up, she was lying dying among the dead. She promised me loyalty, and I gave her shelter." Mu Qian smiled lightly.
If a person really wants to do evil, her eyes can't deceive him.
At the farewell in the imperial capital, she believed that Lingsu had already made up her mind to say goodbye to her, and her arrival in Beizhou with Chi Si was completely unexpected.
From her eyes, Mu Qian could see her feelings for Helian Shang. If it were an ordinary person's eyes, it would be very simple.
"I hope you're not mistaken."
Chi Si got up after cleaning the wound for her. Fortunately, although it looked like there was a lot of blood, the wound was not too deep or too big. The five crescent-shaped wounds were now showing a tendency to scab.
"What did the news say?" Mu Qian looked up at him and asked.
Chi Si lowered his head and kissed her lightly on the forehead, as if to appease her emotions, "I'm still looking for it, I already have a clue."
After the man finished speaking, he went to the desk to deal with the documents, leaving Mu Qian sitting on the sofa alone with his head down in thought on the wound on his palm.
I don't know if it was her illusion, but when Lingsu looked back at her, Mu Qian actually saw a bit of determination.
She rarely has that look in her eyes, there must be something wrong with it.
But she didn't make her wait too long, Mu Qian was bored and looked for a few maps with her.
These books also included the biography of Beizhou that she hadn't read before, which recorded the origin of Beizhou, the topography and climate, and even the distribution and origin of the spirit race above.
Some information about the ghost clan was floating on the paper, and after she read it several times, it was already late at night.
The closed door suddenly opened, and Heng Li strode in.
He looked at Mu Qian's serious face, and she immediately understood that something might have happened.
"The news from Licheng, Mrs. Helian started it after a while, it seems that she is about to give birth prematurely."
Mu Qian frowned upon hearing this, "Didn't she just have an eight-month belly?"
"I don't know. The doctors and nurses have gone to the building now, and the baby has not been heard yet."
Their people are still guarding there, and no news has come out yet.
All I know is that the security forces have invited the best doctors to rush there overnight, and the whole building is the resident point of the security forces, and there is a team of the best military doctors living on the [-]th floor.
And in order to take care of Lingsu who was about to give birth, the best obstetrician and gynecologist in Licheng also contacted her in advance.
Outside the closed door, Helian Shang, who had just finished handling the matter, went outside to guard.
Lu Ye, who had never seen a woman give birth before, followed behind Helian Shang, looking at the closed door with some concern.
"Why can't I hear the little lady's cry?"
Isn't it heartbreaking for a woman to give birth to a child? Why is there no movement.
"Little Madam's prenatal check-up has always been fine, and there is still some time before the due date. She won't have an early seizure for no reason." Cheng Ming said.
After hearing his words, Helian Shang looked at the waiting person with downcast eyes.
They are all in charge of taking care of Lingxu closely. They are clear about who she sees and what happens to them every day.
"Who did Madam meet before starting?" Lu Ye asked immediately.
In the current situation, it is not ruled out that someone has calculated it.
"Madam just came back from Xiucheng Town." The driver lowered his head and said.
Cheng Ming looked at He Lian Shang, "Could it be possible that the little madam went to see Yun Muqian?"
The little lady has a big belly now, she herself is very careful, she won't go to Xiucheng Town in the middle of the night.
If she really had to go, she would definitely meet someone special.
"Could it be that Yun Muqian did it?" Lu Ye asked.
He Lian Shang only looked at him indifferently, Lu Ye shut his mouth very wisely, did he say something wrong just now?
Cheng Ming silently pulled him aside, and gave him a look to signal him not to speak.
"Do you need me to contact Fourth Master Chi?"
If the madam had seen them in the end, it was unclear what had happened.
He Lian Shang sat back and clasped her hands on her knees, "No need, the most urgent thing is for her to give birth safely."
Cheng Ming also understands in his heart that the late pregnancy is not very peaceful, and the factors of a pregnant woman's sudden premature birth are very complicated, and now the most important thing is to let people come out safely.
In the room, Ling Su, who had been surrounded by midwives and doctors, was drenched in sweat, and the bed sheets under her body were scratched and wrinkled.
"Ma'am, don't be afraid, take it easy." The nurse comforted her softly.
After the doctor finished all the examinations, his face was solemn, and several doctors gathered together to discuss the plan.
"If the fetal position is not correct, it will be very difficult if the birth is normal, and the mother will be in danger."
So to be on the safe side, caesarean section is the best choice and the safest.
Lili, who was watching by the side, turned around in a hurry. After the wife came back, she was restless, and she started to have a stomachache after a while.
Looks like she's going to be born prematurely.
"Prepare for surgery!"
Lili who was standing on the side was kicked out, she tried her best to lower her sense of existence and stood behind Helian Shang.
She didn't know how to explain to the marshal that she had always been in charge of taking care of the wife, but now she was born prematurely.
They also inevitably have the responsibility of not taking good care of them.
The people outside the door waited like years, and I don't know how long it took, until the baby's cry came from inside the door, and the people at the door stood up.
"It's born, it's born!" Lu Ye almost jumped up excitedly.
"Congratulations Marshal." Cheng Ming said with a smile.
This is the marshal's first child, so he will naturally occupy a pivotal position in their security army.
He Lian Shang stood up, and finally let go of the hanging tone.
The nurse came out with the child in her arms, and reported the situation respectfully, "Congratulations Marshal, you are a young master."
Lu Ye cheered and jumped for joy. This good news must be known to the entire security army.
The birth of the Marshal's eldest son is a great event worthy of celebration by the entire Northern State.
"Madam's condition is very stable and she needs a good rest. I will take the young master to check now."
From Helian Shang's perspective, he could see the wrinkled little face wrapped in swaddling clothes, a fragile but powerful little life.
The corners of the always indifferent man's lips couldn't help but he stretched out his hand slowly, carefully touching the child's pink face with his fingertips.
The child seemed to sense it, and his little face moved.
Lili couldn't help being moved when she saw this. Although the marshal looked cold, he would definitely be a good father.
The whole building burst into applause and cheers in an instant, and even soldiers rushed out of the building and shouted at the sky.
The passers-by were a little confused, so they saw the huge banner displayed on it and the people from the security forces taking to the streets to distribute happy candies.
Only then did I know that the eldest son of the marshal was born, and everyone was sincerely blessing and praying for their marshal.
Wherever there are people in Licheng, there are voices of cheers.
In the room where Lingsu was placed, the person on the bed woke up before the anesthetic took effect.
The servants who had been guarding all the time jumped up and down with joy, looking at the crystal lamp above their heads, they were still groggy.

From the moment she decided to come to Beizhou, Mu Qian knew that it was impossible to see them forever, as long as she entered Beizhou, she would see them again sooner or later.
The two finally sat face to face in the hotel where Mu Qian and Chi Si were staying.
