Yecang was in a big mess, and he didn't have the heart to care about more, so he rushed over, ignoring Mu Yan's resistance and hugged her tightly: "Mu Yan, listen to me, the little fox may be born, you don't move obediently first, okay?" ”

The pain had swept over quickly, and Mu Yan was almost unconscious.

It turns out that no one in this world really likes her, and Jiulang treats her like this in order to take the little fox in her womb to treat the queen mother. No matter how much he was deceived by Yecang in the past, no matter how sad he was for Liu Lang, there was never a moment more desperate and scared than now.

But...... The little fox is about to be born, and once it is born, it will be killed. No...... She is its mother, and she must protect it.

Mu Yan turned back to his original form, broke out of the embrace of the night firmament, and ran out of the door as best he could.

"Brother Huang, don't!" Ye Cang said something to stop him, but Ye Xuan was already quick and released a short arrow, which shot one of the fox's hind legs.

Yecang clearly heard the fox's wail, but he didn't stop for a moment, he followed the figure and chased out, she was long gone, if she hadn't really fought for her life, she would never have been able to do it with her current condition.

"Come on, chase that fox back for me."

"Back to the emperor, back to the prince, a palace maid saw the fox running into the firewood room, but ......" The eunuch who replied struggled to pull the door panel, but as if some force was resisting, it couldn't be opened no matter what.

"She sealed this room with mana?" Ye Xuan's expression was stunned, and he was slightly surprised, it stands to reason that the ink fox who is already pregnant should not have mana, unless he sacrifices the life-sustaining spirit, this fox ...... Just want to save your own child?

A miserable moan gradually came from the firewood room.

"Mu Yan, can you hear me?" Yecang shouted inside through the door panel: "Mu Yan, open the door, it's too dangerous, you will die alone inside!" ”

In response to him, there was only an increasingly terrifying scream, and Ye Cang's heart was tightly gripped, and Cheng Dù was no longer a heartache that could be described.

After about half an hour, the door of the firewood room showed faint signs of loosening, and the fox's cry became more and more erratic.

Did she run out of energy...... It seems that someone has stabbed a knife in the heart of the night, miserable, remorseful and frightened, and all kinds of feelings are like swimming across the river.

No......

Ye Xuan ordered the door to be opened.

"Brother Huang, let the younger brother go in by himself, otherwise he will definitely hurt her."

Ye Xuan sighed, okay.

As soon as Yecang entered the door, he smelled the smell of blood in the air, the blood stains on the blue and black ground were mottled, and even a winding blood path could be seen, his mind was blank, his breathing was sluggish, and there seemed to be a thousand catties under his feet, so heavy that he could barely take a step.

I didn't dare to think about what Muyan looked like now.

He trembled and walked inside, and some distance away, he saw Mu Yan lying on the straw mat, writhing in pain. Yecang immediately came to her side, squatted down and half-hugged her: "Mu Yan, Mu Yan." ”

The person in his arms instinctively refused.

"Muyan, it's me."

The fox was soaked with sweat all over his body, his brows were tightly knit, and when he heard him speak, he opened his eyes with difficulty: "Jiulang? ”

"Mu Yan, it's me, don't be afraid, I'll take you out."

"Don't, if you go out...... The little fox will die......"

"No, wood salt", Ye Cang held her cheek and forcibly suppressed the sourness in her heart: "It's too cold here, it's dangerous for both of you to give birth to a little fox here." ”

"Please, Nine Princes......" The fox pleaded with the placket on Yecang's chest, and a burst of pain hit her, she couldn't resist it, and fainted in pain.

"Wood salt!" Yecang was flustered and picked her up, knowing that he couldn't wait any longer.

***

Yecang carried Mu Yan to a warm and comfortable dormitory, and summoned several experienced female doctors in the palace.

"It hurts." The fox was woken up in pain, and lay on the bed biting his lower lip, tossing and turning and crying out in pain. She stretched out a hand and fumbled to the side of the bed.

Are you looking for him? Yecang half-knelt beside her and held her hand: "Mu Yan, I'm here." ”

"Jiuro, it hurts."

"So you have to listen to the doctor so that you can give birth to the little fox."

"But......" Mu Yan spasmed, his brows furrowed deeper, his breathing was short, and he couldn't speak.

"Princess, use some strength, otherwise the child will be suffocated." The female doctor reminded her anxiously.

Mu Yan is actually very resistant, although these people are in a hurry now, when the little fox is born, they will no longer be soft-hearted. However, the pain and soreness in her lower abdomen made her involuntarily exert herself downward.

"Jiulang—" she sobbed and called to him, "please save the little fox, it's still so small, don't ...... Don't let the queen mother eat it. ”

Tears fell in the night.

"Don't kill the little fox...... I, I am also born of a human and a fox, you can kill me, my flesh and bones, I can cure diseases, you can go wherever you want, just don't eat the little fox, Jiulang...... Please. ”

"Mu Yan, don't talk about this yet." Yecang clenched her hand to give her strength, but she felt that it was too pale to say anything at this time.

The little fox is also my child, how can I bear to hurt it.

"Hmm-Kyuro!" There was another dull pain, and the fox's weak body was uncontrollably half-arched, grabbing a small piece of sheet, almost crushed to pieces.

Mu Yan was so tired that she couldn't even breathe, and she felt a white expanse in front of her, she thought that she might be dying, and someone kept talking in her ear, instructing her how to use force, and she subconsciously followed.

After tossing in the middle of the night, a cry finally came from the dormitory.

"Born?" Ye Xuan, who was waiting in the hall, asked a female doctor who had just come out of the inner palace.

"Back to Your Majesty, Miss Muyan has given birth to a baby girl safely."

Girl? "It's a human?"

"Hui Majesty, it's a human being."

Ye Xuan's long eyebrows furrowed slightly: "I know, go down." ”

"Majesty, the matter of medicine is ......"

"It's not too early today, it's not too late to decoct the medicine according to the prescription tomorrow and then give it to the queen mother."

"Yes."

Early the next morning.

Ye Cang used his fingertips to gently scrape the baby's face in swaddling clothes, the newborn little girl, because she was not yet full-term, her skin was still red, her small body was wrinkled but extremely soft, making people want to protect with their lives.

The brow of the person who had been asleep all night suddenly tightened, and he slowly opened his eyes.

"Muyan, you're awake."

The fox didn't talk softly as usual, as usual, when she opened her eyes, she just grabbed the quilt and didn't speak, she noticed that he was holding a baby in his arms: "That's ...... Little foxes? "After tossing and turning all night last night, her voice was already hoarse.

"Yes."

"Show me."

"It's a daughter." Yecang carried the baby to her pillow, and Mu Yan's face finally had a hint of anger.

"So you're not a little fox." It turned out to be a female doll, and she pulled out a smile and poked the baby's face.

Yecang stretched out his hand, and Mu Yan vigilantly protected the baby, as if he was afraid of being snatched away by him.

Ye Cang paused slightly, smiled bitterly, and withdrew the hand that originally wanted to straighten her sideburns.

"Does the injury on my leg still hurt, and on my body, is there anything uncomfortable?"

Mu Yan hugged the baby to his side, avoiding Yecang's gaze and gently shaking his head.

"Mu Yan, don't ignore me."

Mu Yan's nose was sour, and his eyes were moist and hot: "I won't hand over the little fox to you." ”

"I ......"

There was a sound outside the door.

"Wood Salt Girl is awake?"

"Brother Huang." Yecang looked shocked and got up to protect Mu Yan and the child behind him.

"What is the ninth brother so nervous about?" Ye Xuan's deep gaze shifted to Mu Yan: "I'm just here to see how the Mu Yan girl is doing. ”

"Brother Huang......" Mu Yan knew very well that with her current situation, she couldn't escape from this palace at all, and she didn't expect Ye Xuan to give up her mother's life to fulfill her, almost without thinking about it, and I don't know where the strength came from, Mu Yan got out of bed with the little fox in her arms and knelt in front of Ye Xuan.

"What do you want to do with Mu Yan?" Yecang came to help her, Mu Yan ignored it, grabbed the hem of Yexuan's clothes and refused to let go, two lines of tears hung on his pale face, Chu Chu looked pitiful.

"Brother Huang, are you going to use the little fox to decoct the medicine to save your mother?"

Ye Xuan rarely hesitated, but secretly warned himself that he must not be soft-hearted, and said with a cold face: "Mu Yan, I will make it clear to you today, you and your children are just two cheap lives for me, not enough to worry about, but they are the only chance to save the queen mother, the palace is full of organs, you can't escape." Besides, I just want the baby in your arms, and I am ready to spare your life, so don't bargain with me anymore. ”

"I know", Mu Yan held back tears and shook his shoulders to spit out words: "The queen mother is a very good person, and I also want to let the queen mother live, but if I have other ways to save the queen mother, can the royal brother let the little fox go?" ”

Ye Xuan's long narrow eyes narrowed slightly: "Other methods? ”

"Yes, Mu Yan also knows a way to bring the dead back to life."

"Then tell me about it, and if it is feasible, I will promise to release your child."

A hint of surprise flashed in the fox's eyes: "Are you talking about it?" ”

"I am the honor of the Ninety-Five, and I am naturally a promise." Ye Xuan has been acting ruthlessly for many years, and few of them can't bear it, if there is any other way, he doesn't actually have to want her child's life.

"You swear by the life of your mother."

Ye Xuan was a little impatient, but still raised his hand and swore an oath.

"Can you say that?"

Mu Yan bit his lip, glanced at the night sky, and then turned back, and said in a determined tone: "The heart of the ink fox...... It can cure all diseases, brother emperor, take my heart to the queen mother and take the decoction, and she will be fine. ”

"Wood salt!" Yecang half-knelt down, looked at her fixedly, and almost said incoherently: "No." ”

Ye Xuan was extremely surprised in his heart, and said in disbelief: "Do you know what you're talking about?" "For a little guy who was born less than a day ago, and someone who wanted to harm her deceived her, can she even take her life?

"Brother Huang just swore that he can't go back." Mu Yan inserted his hand into his chest without thinking about it, and dug out his heart in front of Yecang and Yexuan, and when the heart was taken out of the chest, it was still beating, and a large amount of blood gushed out, and the scene was almost terrifying.

"You!" Yexuan was already speechless in shock.

"Mu Yan, what are you doing...... Mu Yan's consciousness has not yet been lost, his left hand is still holding the little fox, and he fell into Ye Cang's arms, dripping with blood, soaking a large area of Ye Cang's front placket. Ye Cang trembled all over, and his eyes looked at the large patch of bright red in front of him in a daze, as if he could no longer feel pain, but a deep, deep hopelessness.

The fox's right hand held her heart.

"Brother Huang, take it away, the queen mother will definitely be fine, I ...... I kid you not. ”

Ye Xuan couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so he ordered someone to put the heart in a vessel and take it away.

The baby in his arms suddenly burst into tears, the fox shook his right hand weakly, and a series of crisp sounds sounded faintly.

"Jiuro, take this...... Take it off and put it on for the little fox. ”

The slender wrist was tied with the longevity lock given by the Empress Dowager Nanyu, and she always carried it, even if she left the house alone for a few days, she did not sell it.

Tears rained down in the night, and he took off the lock and put it around the little fox's neck.

"It's a good fit." She stuck to her ears and temples, and she was angry: "Jiulang, you said before that you wouldn't treat the little fox as a monster, but now ...... I don't know if I should believe you anymore, but you are the only relative of the little fox, don't hit it, don't ...... It's too bad for it, if you can, keep it by your side for a few more days, and when it grows up and can live alone, it's okay to don't want it, okay......"

"And remember to tell it, it has a mother who loves it very much, but it's a pity that ...... "can't grow up with it."

The fox closed his eyes.

"Wood Salt...... Wood salt. Nightshade numbly called her name.

Mu Yan, don't leave me.
