The Cousin Is About to Marry，The Abstinent Young Lord Loses Control-Chapter 216 - 215: Rescue the Princely Heir Consort

Chapter 216: Chapter 215: Rescue the Princely Heir Consort

Ji Mingzhu is pregnant, and the shoes, clothes, and cushions she uses are all newly prepared.

Every detail is considered with the needs of a pregnant woman in mind, just to make her pregnancy more comfortable and less of a burden.

Having gone through a previous experience, Ji Mingzhu specifically instructed the embroiderers that the shoe soles need to be not only soft but also sufficiently anti-slip.

Once the shoes were ready, she personally inspected them before feeling assured.

According to Eunuch Fu, once in the palace, she would reside in the Empress Dowager’s chambers.

After all, this is someone else’s territory, so bringing too many things would be inappropriate.

Thus, she made a list and had Gold and the others prepare accordingly.

Apart from daily necessities, everything else could be left behind.

Besides Gold, she brought two capable women to attend to her in the palace.

They have experience attending to pregnant women, and with their presence, Ji Mingzhu feels more at ease.

The maids moved in and out busily, packing luggage.

Ji Mingzhu stays inside, making it easier to get bumped or knocked.

"Madam, while the sun is warm, why don’t you go to the courtyard and bask in the sunlight for a while? Once we finish packing, we can set out."

Ji Mingzhu nods and instead of sunbathing, she goes to the study to write a letter to be sent to Duke Mansion.

The suddenness of the situation requires her to make things clear, or else her aunt and others would surely worry.

As for the Commandery Princess, she might start imagining things.

If she does anything inappropriate, it would only cause more trouble.

After arranging everything in the residence, Ji Mingzhu took Gold and the others to the front yard.

Seeing her, Eunuch Fu breathed a sigh of relief.

He was worried just now whether the Princely Heir’s wife might suddenly change her mind.

After all, for many people, the palace is not a desirable place to go.

He smiled and said, "Princely Heir’s wife, shall we enter the palace then?"

After speaking, he added, "The emperor has also sent someone to coordinate with Duke Mansion, so please rest assured."

If not for the previous events, Ji Mingzhu would be grateful for the new emperor’s thorough arrangements.

At this moment, she only feels uneasy.

Alongside unease, there’s also some anxiety.

If possible, she would prefer that the new emperor never thinks of her.

Taking an unnoticeable breath, Ji Mingzhu said, "Once the tasks are complete, I’ll trouble you to express my gratitude to the emperor."

Eunuch Fu was hesitant.

The Princely Heir’s wife resides in the Empress Dowager’s chambers, and the emperor frequently visits to pay respects; inevitably, they would meet.

If the Princely Heir’s wife intends to thank, she could completely meet the emperor and say it herself.

Now it seems she wants to stay far away from the emperor.

If not forced by circumstances, she presumably wouldn’t agree to enter the palace.

Suppressing various thoughts, Eunuch Fu gestured politely, allowing Ji Mingzhu to lead.

Being quite favored in front of the emperor, this gesture showed Ji Mingzhu great respect.

The group left the residence.

Ji Mingzhu was helped by Gold onto the carriage.

The wheels rolled over the ground, producing a rumbling sound.

The Ji Mansion is quite far from the Imperial Palace, plus one can’t gallop through the city.

Thinking it would be tiring to sit upright all the way, Gold placed a cushion by Ji Mingzhu’s side.

"Madam, please lean back and rest for a bit."

Ji Mingzhu leaned back accordingly, subconsciously touched her belly.

Others couldn’t see a difference, but she herself could feel the slight rise of her lower abdomen.

Thinking of the child growing bit by bit inside, the corners of Ji Mingzhu’s mouth lifted involuntarily.

Though the process is somewhat nerve-wracking, often just thinking about soon having a blood-related family, her heart inevitably softens.

With her palm pressed against the rise, Ji Mingzhu wonders how long this war will last.

Will Xie Yunzhen be back when she gives birth?

If like before, when wars lasted several years, by the time Xie Yunzhen returns, their child would be running, speaking!

If it really turns out that way, she wonders what Xie Yunzhen’s reaction to seeing the child would be.

Would he be bewildered?

Would he cry?

Imagining Xie Yunzhen’s dumbfounded look, Ji Mingzhu chuckled softly.

Gold laughed along, "Madam, what good thing are you thinking about?"

Ji Mingzhu cleared her throat, "Nothing."

Gold winked playfully, sporting a knowing look.

"You must be thinking about the Young Master!"

Though the Young Master used to have a frightening temper, he changed after marrying.

We maids and elderly women know that as long as we keep Madam happy and serve her comfortably, the Young Master would reward us.

Gold felt, the Young Master is the best male landlord in the whole capital!

Though his temperament is cold, he’s generous with rewards and doesn’t dock wages.

Most importantly, as long as one isn’t disloyal, the Young Master never punishes servants, unlike Lord, who might fancy young, pretty maids...

In short, the Young Master and Madam are wonderful masters!

Being teased by Gold, Ji Mingzhu simply admitted openly.

"Yes, I do miss him a bit."

When Xie Yunzhen was imprisoned earlier, they were only apart for two months.

Now with his return date uncertain, Ji Mingzhu finds herself missing him more and more.

Worrying he might get hurt on the battlefield.

Besides, considering his old ailments and the cold weather, it’s easy for them to flare up.

Ji Mingzhu has fully experienced what it feels like to be anxious and longing.

Yet she can’t help.

With thoughts of Xie Yunzhen’s injury, her rather okay mood turns inexplicably low again.

Ji Mingzhu let out a heavy sigh.

Gold wanted to offer comfort but suddenly fell forward.

Exclaiming in panic while trying to stabilize Ji Mingzhu.

Having experienced something like this before, her body reacted faster than her mind, gripping tightly onto the carriage.

Wanting to ask what happened, the carriage made a sudden turn.

Ji Mingzhu couldn’t stabilize herself and fell onto the soft couch.

Feeling a sense of panic, she focused on gripping the edge of the couch firmly to prevent being thrown out and injuring the child in her belly.

In the wide alley, the carriage that was heading towards the Imperial Palace suddenly turned at a crossroads and sped towards the city gates.

Eunuch Fu was nearly fainting from fright.

A sharp shout erupted from his throat, "Quickly chase, make sure to rescue the Princely Heir’s wife!"

The Hidden Guards arranged by Xie Yunzhen had gone after them first.

Following closely were the palace guards.

Eunuch Fu’s face reddened from anxiety, "Quickly report to the palace, the Princely Heir’s wife has been abducted by the Xiao rebels!"

Although the coachman’s appearance differed from Xiao Feiyun’s, Eunuch Fu firmly believed that person was either sent by him or he himself disguised!

If it’s the latter, given Xiao Feiyun’s skills, rescuing the Princely Heir’s wife would require some effort.

He angrily kicked a roadside stone.

This man truly is capable, having mixed into Ji Mansion early on.

Now he has captured the most crucial person, causing a dilemma; whether it’s the Young Master’s guards or the emperor’s men, their actions must be cautious of the Princely Heir’s wife.

Even though they outnumber him, as long as the Princely Heir’s wife is with Xiao Feiyun, they are in a passive position.

Considering Xiao Feiyun’s skill and his battlefield experience.

This time, the Princely Heir’s wife will surely suffer!

Xiao Feiyun had a clear goal, sticking to the original route, heading straight for the city gates.

His eyes filled with ruthlessness.

Tinged with an all-out desperation.

Instead of waiting for death, it would be better to fight boldly, anyway, he has Xie Yunzhen’s wife and child with him.

No matter success or failure, he wouldn’t lose out!
