Chapter 308 - Pulled Through to Meet You (1/2)
The slight noise on the eaves made Bai Aoxue vigilant immediately.
Although she was weak at the moment because the effect of poison that made her lose all the force, she could still deal a fatal blow to the enemy!
Holding the daggers tightly in her sleeves, Bai Aoxue sat on the bed, staring at the eaves.
After a while, a figure in black appeared before Bai Aoxue.
“Greetings, Mistress. I’m your subordinate, Ju Xiao!” The man said in a deep voice, kneeling on one knee in front of Bai Aoxue.
Hearing his words, Bai Aoxue was slightly stunned and then felt relieved.
“So, you’re one of the subordinates of Jun Yeyan. Get up.” Bai Aoxue said blandly, looking at Ju Xiao.
Her words sounded calm, without a mood swing of surprise.
Ju Xiao got up, looked at Bai Aoxue and said, “Mistress, don’t you wonder whether I lie to you?”
Bai Aoxue gently said, “Jun Yeyan once told me that one of his subordinates worked undercover beside Qi Liange although I don’t know who he is. Now you come to me, so the truth comes out.”
Hearing that, Ju Xiao paused for a while and said, “Mistress, I’m here to tell you that Master has already been on the way to rescue you. I believe he will arrive soon. Before his arrival, Mistress, you can’t make Qi Liange suspect you.”
Hearing Ju Xiao’s words, Bai Aoxue calmed her shock and excitement down, nodded and said, “I know. But Qi Liange doesn’t know that Jun Yeyan is coming to the Nanyue Dynasty, does he?”
Ju Xiao shook his head and said, “From my perspective, Qi Liange doesn’t know, but it is only a matter of time. If Master doesn’t arrive in five days, the conferring ceremony will be held. I will manage to take you to leave at any cost!”
Hearing Ju Xiao’s words, Bai Aoxue hesitated and said, “Even if I will leave, I can’t be detected by Qi Liange in case that a dispute or fighting will harm my unborn baby.”
When Ju Xiao heard Bai Aoxue ‘s words, he thought of Bai Aoxue’s weakness and regretfully said, “Mistress, please forgive me. I was too anxious to take the little master into consideration.”
Bai Aoxue shook her head and said, “It’s okay. If possible, find a medicine for me. Now I lack this medicine to detoxify my poison.”
Ju Xiao nodded as a reply.
“By the way, do you know where is Nalan Youhong now?” Bai Aoxue suddenly thought of Nalan Youhong and asked blandly.
“Nalan Youhong was detained in Qi Liange’s jail. No one except Qi Liange had been there. I tried to rescue him but never succeeded. Without the map of the jail, I can’t rescue him out,” Ju Xiao said with a slight frown.
Indeed, there are a multitude of traps in Qi Liange’s jail.
“Exactly, I will go to see Nalan Youhong tomorrow. I will remember the routes inside, and you come to me tomorrow night to get the route map. Then we can discuss how to rescue Nalan Youhong,” Bai Aoxue said her plan out.
Hearing Bai Aoxue’s words, Ju Xiao showed an expression of joy in his eyes.
With the route map of the jail, rescuing Nalan Youhong was around the corner.
“I will come here at the same time tomorrow. Mistress, take care of yourself. I have met Li Xiao and others, and we will take you to leave when the time comes!” Ju Xiao said cautiously to Bai Aoxue.
Bai Aoxue nodded and watched Ju Xiao leave.
She didn’t expect that the person whom Jun Yeyan planted in the Nanyue Dynasty was deeply trusted by Qi Liange. Even Qi Liange himself didn’t expect that the person he trusted so much turned out to be his rival….
Early in the next morning, Qi Liange came to pick up Bai Aoxue after holding court.
“Have you eaten already?” Looking at Bai Aoxue seated in the yard, Qi Liange asked concernedly.
Bai Aoxue nodded and said, “Yes, I have.”
“Have you ever taken that medicine? The imperial physician said that you should take this medicine to secure the baby’s health until it is stable after five months,” Qi Liange said blandly, looking at Bai Aoxue.
Hearing Qi Liange’s words, Bai Aoxue stretched out her hands to stroke her lower abdomen, saying, “Yes, I have taken it. Don’t worry.”
Seeing that, Qi Liange smiled slightly.
He had fantasized about that many times. She sat on a soft chair, touching the slightly raised belly, with a smile on the corner of her eyes, which always made him feel warm.
Just standing by and guarding her, he felt satisfied.
No fantasy was so real as the scene happening now as if they were husband and wife, waiting for their children to be born.
He was in a trance for a while, hoping that time would fly and they would grow old so that they could stay together for a lifetime.
With a wry smile, Qi Liange slightly shook his head and said, “Let’s go. I’ll take you to see Nalan Youhong.”
Bai Aoxue nodded, raised herself by the maidservant and followed Qi Liange out of the palace.
After several turns with Qi Liange, Bai Aoxue finally came to the so-called jail according to Ju Xiao.
She followed Qi Liange into the jail. Although she was reluctant, she was supported by Qi Liange all the way while the maidservant stayed outside waiting.
Bai Aoxue looked around carefully, keeping all the layouts in mind.
