Chapter 102: Chapter 102: You know, I really don’t want to hear this

Yan Wanqing was jostled uncomfortably inside the carriage, she struggled to maintain her balance, her hand constantly covering her lower abdomen.

One hand desperately tried to pull open the curtains of the carriage.

A dagger was stabbing into the horse’s hindquarters, which seemed to be the reason the horse was spooked into a frenzied gallop.

The Assassins were quickly pursuing from behind.

Yan Wanqing bitterly smiled in her heart.

She didn’t know who had put together such a large plan.

Could it be Xiao Hongshen?

Yan Wanqing couldn’t figure it out.

Based on her understanding from her past life, the current Xiao Hongshen, although somewhat accomplished, was far from capable of such large-scale actions.

The number of Assassins today far exceeded what the current Xiao Hongshen could afford.

Then, who could it be?

Who in the Capital City would have such great hostility towards her, sending assassins of this scale to take her life?

Yan Wanqing was at a loss for a while, as this was an event that had never happened in her previous life.

The horse galloped madly in the pouring rain, and soon after, Yan Wanqing began to feel a pain in her lower abdomen, knowing she could not continue in this aimless flight. She had to take control of the horse.

With this thought, she crawled forward, trying to reach for the horse’s reins, the rain soaking her through, her body trembling violently from the cold.

After several attempts, Yan Wanqing finally grabbed the reins.

Now she had to think of a way to mount the horse and then discard the carriage.

Only in this way could she escape the assassins chasing her.

Yan Wanqing took a deep breath.

She had only one chance.

If she made the jump, she would have a chance to live; if she failed, she would die on the spot.

Yan Wanqing clenched the reins, pulled herself close to the horse, and then leaped fiercely!

Fortunately, her years of training had not been in vain, and she landed neatly on the horse’s back.

As she raised her hand, she yanked the dagger from the horse’s back, causing the animal to bolt in pain again. Yan Wanqing bit down on her teeth, enduring the icy rain slashing against her face like knives, and glanced back at the relentless assassins with a scornful smirk.

While the assassins were caught off guard, they only saw Yan Wanqing cut the carriage loose with a swift motion. The horse, freed from its burden, became as light as a swallow, its speed suddenly increasing, leaving the assassins far behind.

Yan Wanqing controlled the reins, galloping through the wind and rain...

She didn’t know how long it had been when she became as unresponsive as if she had lost all sensation, letting the horse take her wherever it would.

"Who goes there!" Just then, in the area that had been devoid of people, figures suddenly appeared, blocking the way, and Yan Wanqing could see that they were dressed as soldiers.

Acting on the memories of her past life, she only had time to say one sentence.

"Take me to the Crown Prince," and with that, she passed out completely.

Yan Wanqing was thrown from the horse, rolling across the ground a couple of times, alarming the two soldiers on watch.

In the heavy rain, they saw that this woman was stunningly beautiful and dressed either richly or nobly. Not daring to delay, they quickly sent someone to report it.

After Yan Wanqing had fainted, her entire body ached unbearably.

It had been many years since she had been so jostled on a horse.

Nightmares tormented her, one after another, as if she was sometimes in the clouds and at other times plunging into hell. Bizarre dreams enveloped her so tightly that she couldn’t catch her breath; and the dreams were so vivid that she could feel her body alternating between hot and cold.

"It hurts..." the sleeping person mumbled, her little face flushed red from fever, tenderly crying out.

Xiao Pingfeng’s murderous gaze fell on the military doctor, "Be gentle, can’t you hear? She said it hurts!"

The military doctor was using a silver needle to bleed Yan Wanqing’s fingertips, and at this point, he was out of ideas, "... this bloodletting, it’s supposed to hurt. Please ask her to bear with it, Crown Prince."

"Bear my ass, get out!" Xiao Pingfeng pushed the military doctor aside, took over the silver needle, and began to squeeze the blood from Yan Wanqing’s hand himself.

The military doctor stood to the side, feeling wronged to death, but still thought to tell Xiao Pingfeng the patient’s pulse condition, as it was a matter of great importance.

Seeing how the Crown Prince treasured the woman before him, he was sure their relationship was no small matter.

"Crown Prince..." the military doctor called out.

Xiao Pingfeng gave him a cold glance.

The military doctor was so frightened that he stood erect abruptly, "Reporting back to Your Highness, this woman is pregnant, more than three months along. Now, having been caught in the rain and afflicted by cold wind, and having just received a shock while on horseback, she already shows signs of a possible miscarriage..."

"Why are you only saying this now!" Xiao Pingfeng rose to his feet and seized the military doctor by his clothes.

The military doctor looked miserable, "Your Highness... I’ve already been doing my utmost to save the pregnancy, but as you know, conditions here in the military camp are harsh and we have few medicinal herbs available. I’m afraid there’s danger now." The military doctor’s voice got quieter and quieter, looking at Xiao Pingfeng whose face was as dark as a pool of ink, he felt as if his guts were about to split with fear.

Xiao Pingfeng slowly released the doctor’s clothes, "I understand. Do not let word of this get out. If even one word leaks, you know what my temper is like."

The military doctor hurriedly nodded and went off to prepare the medicine.

Only two people were left inside the tent.

Xiao Pingfeng wiped the blood from her fingertips clean and held her hand within his own palm, his eyes dark and profound.

Three months...

She must have known in her heart.

But why didn’t she tell him?

Xiao Pingfeng did not know what was on Yan Wanqing’s mind.

This child must be his.

It wasn’t that Xiao Pingfeng was blindly self-confident, it was just that he trusted Yan Wanqing that much.

Some people, even without doing anything, just by standing there, can give others a sense of security.

To him, Yan Wanqing was such a person.

She just needed to wait for him to take the initiative, to get closer, to love her.

Nothing else was necessary.

But why... why did she choose to marry the Young Marquis of the Northern Border while carrying a child?

Xiao Pingfeng placed her hand against his face, and despite his intelligence, he couldn’t figure out the reason at this moment.

It was in this moment that Yan Wanqing regained consciousness; her first reaction was to reach out and touch her belly.

After completing the motion, she realized the person sitting beside her was Xiao Pingfeng.

"It’s still there," Xiao Pingfeng said in a low voice.

Yan Wanqing pressed her dry lips together and eventually managed a bitter smile, "You found out after all."

She had kept it secret for so long, yet he still discovered it.

"Why hide it?" Xiao Pingfeng took a cushion and placed it behind Yan Wanqing, helping her to sit up.

After she sat up straight, he naturally poured her some hot water to moisten her throat, as if all of this was routine for him, something he had done many times before.

Seeing him like this, Yan Wanqing’s eyes reddened slightly.

"I don’t know if my body... can keep him..."

"So you didn’t tell me? You decided to bear it alone?!" Xiao Pingfeng’s voice held back restraint, his gaze intense as he stared at Yan Wanqing, "Yan Wanqing, what am I in your heart... really?"

"I’m sorry..." Yan Wanqing held the hot tea, her eyes and brows lowered.

Silence fell between the two of them.

Xiao Pingfeng wanted to speak several times, but whenever his gaze landed on her haggard face, he ended up saying nothing.

"...Your servant has something to ask of you," Yan Wanqing knew her body was in terrible shape, but if her two maidservants were there, she and the child in her womb might still have a chance.

"Speak."

Yan Wanqing then recounted the assassination attempt from earlier in the day and asked Xiao Pingfeng to send someone to bring back her subordinates.

Having been unconscious until now, she had no idea how her fifth and sixth maidservants were faring.

"While you were unconscious, I already sent people to investigate within ten miles. If there’s any news of your fifth and sixth maidservants, they should be back with the army before long," he informed her.

Hearing his words, Yan Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"Yan Wanqing, you know I have no desire to hear these things," Xiao Pingfeng stepped forward and grasped her chin, gazing into her bloodshot eyes. The words he was about to spill forth turned into a single question, "What do you really want me to do?"
