Chapter 814: Chapter 793: Misfortunes Never Come Singly!
Aunt Xiao made her choice, regardless of her heartache for the unborn grandchild she had never seen, she still chose to save her daughter’s life!
Su Pan’er instructed everyone to look for medicinal ingredients, and after giving some other orders, she reboarded the coach.
Xiao Min slept fitfully in the coach, a bright red flow of blood ran incessantly from beneath her, and a contraction forced her to barely open her eyes.
Seeing Su Pan’er there, she tried to move her lips, producing an extremely faint sound, "Madam..."
"Don’t talk. Save your strength as much as possible, understand?"
Su Pan’er turned and instructed that the food brought to Xiao Min should be fed by her own hands. "I instructed them to cook a ’Sugar Water Egg’ for you. Eat first, and with sustenance, you’ll have the strength to continue birthing."
"No, I won’t eat it anymore... No need to waste..."
Xiao Min struggled to shake her head, striving to utter a weak voice, "Madam, your servant knows I am beyond help... It is just pitiful for the child in my womb, I’m afraid they might also... And my Kang’er, without a mother in the future, he might..."
Upon hearing these words, Aunt Xiao couldn’t help but burst into tears, but fearing that Xiao Min would hear her, she hurried to the coach to wipe away her tears.
"What kind of defeatist talk is that! I haven’t given up, so why should you?" chastised Su Pan’er with righteous indignation, "Don’t be afraid! With me, the miracle healer here, if I dare to risk my life, I can even pull Yama down from his horse! Even if Yanwang himself wants to take you away, without my permission, I’ll run to the Yanwang Palace to snatch you back! Come on, eat! After you eat, I’ll get started on delivering your baby."
Saying this, she brought the egg to Xiao Min’s mouth.
Xiao Min struggled to open her eyes and looked at her for a good while before finally opening her mouth to eat, yet tears rolled down from her eyes.
Aunt Xiao had just popped her head in when she witnessed this scene, and her freshly wiped tears fell once more.
"That’s right!"
Seeing Xiao Min willing to eat, Su Pan’er, despite her anxious heart, still fed another spoonful of the ’Sugar Water Egg’ calmly and steadily.
Her tone remained steady, even carrying a hint of laughter, "This egg comes from a wild chicken, given to you by the troops after they heard you were in childbirth. You can’t let down their good intentions."
Xiao Min ate in silence, quietly opening her mouth.
Su Pan’er fed her steadily, unruffled, "Once you’ve eaten your fill, I’ll start with the acupuncture. Your child inside, although premature, is quite active. Currently, his position is not correct, but once I perform the acupuncture to correct the position, he will be born very soon."
Her words conveyed a strange, calming power that made Xiao Min nod involuntarily.
Hope relit in the depth of her eyes.
Only after finishing the bowl of ’Sugar Water Egg’ did Su Pan’er then hand out the empty bowl, "The hot water? Bring the hot water quickly!"
"Here it comes, right away!" Aunt Xiao’s tearful response came back. Shortly after, the hot water was brought in.
Su Pan’er quickly opened the Medicine Box, retrieving a set of silver needles.
She had discovered upon checking the pulse earlier that one of the child’s legs was stuck in the birth canal and the other in the uterus; it was nearly impossible for Xiao Min to naturally deliver the child!
What she had to do was to perform acupuncture, directly on the fetus, hoping that the child inside her would adjust its body to find a different way to be born.
She understood even more that the child in Xiao Min’s belly was already in a state of oxygen deprivation, and at this moment, Xiao Min, who had used up all her strength in childbirth, was utterly unable to give birth.
Time was life!
On one side, there was Xiao Min who had exhausted her strength, and on the other, a fetus already suffering from a lack of oxygen, you can imagine the pressure in Su Pan’er’s heart!
But when it rains, it pours!
Just as Su Pan’er raised the silver needle and prepared to perform the acupuncture, a panicked report suddenly resounded from outside.
"Report! —— Madam, something terrible has happened! A troop of soldiers is chasing us from the east, by the looks of their flags, they must be from the Imperial Court! They will arrive here in no more than two quarters of an hour, please make a decision quickly, Madam!"
Just as Su Pan’er was about to insert the needle, her hand froze!
Xiao Min and Aunt Xiao naturally heard the report from outside, their faces turned ashen.
Xiao Min looked utterly lifeless, managing a forced smile, "Madam, don’t worry about me. Please, take them and flee for your lives! Your servant only asks one thing of you, take Kang’er with you! At least I will have a bloodline left behind..."
"Nonsense! I will absolutely not give up on you, and I won’t allow you to talk about giving up either!"
Su Pan’er scolded urgently.
She then ordered the people outside, "Where are first cousin brother and Big Brother Lui? Where are you?"
"Fifth Sister, we are all here."
Outside the carriage, Su Huarong answered loudly.
Su Pan’er’s hands kept moving, her silver needles flying as she began to insert them into acupoints all over Xiao Min’s body.
"Good, first cousin brother, Big Brother Lui, the two of you lead fifteen men each, take the children and the servants and split into two directions to retreat. Just leave me with one carriage and a coachman!"
Su Huarong and Lui Muyi and the others were all taken aback!
"Pan’er, what are you doing? Are you planning to stay behind? No, absolutely not!"
Su Pan’er continued to insert needles without pausing, multitasking in a way that made Aunt Xiao’s heart race with fear of the silver needles being misplaced.
"Haven’t you understood my plan?"
Su Pan’er wished she could pry open their wooden heads, "I mean that one team should escort Little Yanyan and leave, while another team covers our retreat. I will escape in another direction. If we are fortunate enough to survive, let’s meet beyond a hundred miles at Three Mile Hill. Stop dawdling, and get ready! Hurry up!"
Su Huarong said nothing, but Lui Muyi refused!
"This won’t do! I should stay behind. I promised Qin Yi that I would protect you well."
"What’s the point in protecting me when I’m about to leave as well."
Su Pan’er wished she could pry open his head, "I’m telling you to draw their attention away to give us a chance to escape! If you follow me, the target is too large, and we will have no hope of escape. Do you understand?"
"But..."
Lui Muyi wanted to argue more, but Su Huarong grabbed his hand.
"Enough! Fifth Sister has the right plan, let’s take action quickly!"
With that, he dragged Lui Muyi away.
Reluctantly, Lui Muyi couldn’t argue against Su Huarong’s insistence.
Soon after, the cries of Little Yanyan could be heard from inside the dilapidated temple!
With each needle that Su Pan’er inserted, the sound of Little Yanyan’s crying made her hand tremble slightly, but she quickly stabilized it.
She looked up and loudly instructed the coachman, "Take the northwest trail! Drive quickly and do not look back."
The coachman didn’t respond, but quickly prodded the horses, and the carriage started to move forward.
Aunt Xiao watched Su Pan’er’s movements intently, looking somewhat bewildered.
Nobody knew who outside suddenly shouted, "Run! The Imperial military is coming!"
The coachman, without waiting for Su Pan’er’s orders, suddenly lashed the horses fiercely a few times, and, as if in agony, the horses broke into a manic gallop.
