Chapter 70 (The Coming of the King I)
Angel got up on the couch on her elbows, looking at Montan in the distance, she felt strained to bring a glass of water, dragging her back, bending her waist, and gasping for air.
"Da Yan, you haven't been out for more than two months. Montan was out of breath as she spoke, her pleated skin like powder, wrinkles piled up, lines clearly visible on her face. Her hair was shaggy, the ends of her silver-white hair ran down her cheeks, and she pursed her displeased lips as she spoke.
"I don't want to see kings. Angel bared her mouth and sat up straight.
"How many times have I told you, calling His Royal Highness the Prince, if he hears it, or if someone with a heart hears it, my old body can't protect you. Montan approached and handed her the cup.
"I want to go to the end of the world, far away, and I want to see the sea. Angel had no intention of drinking the water and held the cup in her hand, "Nalan's prophecy is true. She put a hand on her stomach, "I want to take him back to hiding, but now, my mind has changed, and I am reluctant to give him away." ”
"How many worlds are there in this land, and my Great Clan, is full of His Royal Highness's people. You just have to hide in the corner of a mountain, where there is nothing to eat or drink. When the night comes, fear will come to you, you will be afraid, you will be timid, you will be afraid that the jackals, tigers and leopards will take your life and the life of the child, this is what you call taking the child into retreat?" Meng Dan looked at her in a daze, "I don't want him to become the prophesied natural disaster and catastrophe, the best way is to find him a good family, let him grow up safely, even if he is a herd in the future." ”
Angel's heart tightened when she heard this, she was stunned, nodded, took a sip of water, and handed the cup to Meng Dan, "I'm tired, I want to rest." Montan withdrew from the room, and in a few moments she fell asleep.
Angel dreamed that a little boy was walking towards her with huge rings on his arms and feet, and his eyes were hideous and fearful. With each step, the ring collides with the ground and makes a "jingling" sound, which sounds indescribably weird.
Her thin body stood in the middle of the living room, shivering, and her eyes wide as she looked at the boy. He shouted Montan but no one answered, and his body was unable to respond with great fear. The boy tilted his head and kept closing in on her, without even moving his eyes, and put a hand into her abs and took out the bloody child.
After waking up, Meng Dan sat on the edge of the couch, holding a towel in his hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, "Da Yanshi, are you having a nightmare? ”
"How so?" Angel muttered to herself, "How could I have such a dream?"
"What did you dream about?" asked Montan, bringing her a glass of water.
Angel took a sip, just lay down, felt a sharp pain extend to her abdomen, she shrunk the quilt together, beads of sweat rolled down her forehead like soybeans, "I'm afraid I'm going to give birth." She reluctantly said, "Go and plug in the door." ”
"No, Da Yan, I'm going to ask for a midwife for you. ”
"No, go and plug in the door, no one is allowed to open it. Angel's tone was intermittent, Meng Dan had to plug the door well, Angel didn't dare to scream, her hands were clenched under the quilt, her mouth bit the quilt, the blue tendons on her face protruded, her eyes were red, and the pain spread throughout her body.
"Da Yanshi, lie flat. "Try to relax, think of the warm sun in the square, the birds in the woods, the scent of flowers in the flowers, think of the scent of lavender, don't you like the smell of lavender the most? ”
Angel gasped for air, she tried her best to cool herself down and make her stomach less painful, but it was all in vain. She even felt the fear of death coming at her, spreading to every crevacy of the room.
There was a loud "clang" on the balcony, and someone was heard jumping into the room, "Prince Nalan?" Meng Dan asked in surprise, "Didn't you go to the border gate?"
"I'm here to save her" Nalan glanced at Meng Dan coldly, walked into the couch, and fed Angel a pill in her mouth.
"What did you give the Great Clan?" asked Montan nervously.
"Pain relief pills. Nalan said and picked up Angel from the couch and walked out of the balcony, Angel didn't know where she was going. Her face was haggard, her lips were parched purple, her gaze was glazed and unfocused, and she couldn't even see Nalan's face clearly.
"Where are you going to take the Great Clan?" Angel felt her footsteps stop, and heard Montan ask.
"I won't hurt her. ”
After listening to Nalan say this, she felt the movement of walking, and her whole body was bumpy, she didn't know which way Nalan was taking, in short, the night sky was extremely dark, there was no moon, only stars were twinkling.
"Where are we going?" asked Angel, "let me down, and I won't let the kings see me." ”
"No one found out I was back. Nalan whispered, "Don't talk anymore, save some effort." ”
Because of the pills, Angel didn't feel the pain in her stomach at all, she only heard the sound of Nalan's boots and leather stepping on the stone slab, she felt that she was walking on the spiral staircase, "He came out of the balcony, I know this way, my balcony around the city wall is the high platform, and from the spiral staircase of the high platform is the backyard." She guessed correctly, but Nalan actually took this path.
Faintly, she saw a bright comet in the dark distant sky, as red as blood, and what seemed to be the color of blood. The moment she swept across the sky, she drew a long line, shaped like a giant snake that was swimming, and at this moment she was even more sure of Prince Nalan's prophecy, "No, I must not leave the child with the kings, I must not." ”
It wasn't long before she felt Nalan put her on a flat spot, and she heard the sound of horses tearing, "Is it a carriage?" she guessed again, and her body swayed, the wheels creaking on the road, and the sound of horses' hooves on the dirt pierced her eardrums, making her whole head buzz.
