Chapter 107 Pregnancy
The mad new emperor is no match for him.
What's more, Zhao Qi and the guards did not dare to stop him because of his noble status.
They could only watch as the new emperor kicked away everyone in his way and strode into the sea of fire.
Xiao Tong stepped on the raging fire and rushed towards the big bed. There was a noise above his head. Everyone looked up and found that the roof of Zhongcui Palace could no longer withstand the flames and began to collapse.
"Your Majesty! Danger!
Get out of here!"
Zhao Qi's eyes were bloodshot, and he and the guards rushed towards Xiao Tong, trying to pull him out of danger.
Xiao Tong heard the sound of the palace collapsing, but his urgent desire to save Jiang Wumei made him disregard his own life and death.
Seeing the palace collapse, he did not retreat but advanced, kicked away the first falling beam, and continued to run inside.
The roof of the palace was pressing down with a force of ten thousand pounds. Xiao Tong avoided most dangers with his agility, but he was never blessed by the god of luck.
The raging fire engulfed a corner of the dragon robe. He had just run to the bedside, but before he could see what was happening inside the tent, he was hit on the back of the neck by a burning beam, and his consciousness became blurred.
wave……
Just before he lost consciousness, Xiao Tong stretched out his arms and grabbed the charred bedpost unwillingly. The scorching flames burned his palms until they bled, but he did not let go.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Qi and the others rushed to Xiao Tong coughing. Looking at the collapsed roof of the temple, Zhao Qi gritted his teeth, carried the unconscious Xiao Tong on his back, and rushed out quickly.
The other guards drew their swords and chopped off the fallen flint and charcoal for Zhao Qi, protecting the two of them as they ran out.
Before they could rush to the door, the entire Zhongcui Palace collapsed with a deafening roar.
"emperor……"
Jiang Wumei and Xu Junjun were completely unaware of the chaos in the palace.
At this moment, the two were supporting each other, walking down the mountain along the path, reaching the foot of the mountain and rushing towards the city.
We hadn't walked for a long time, and after walking back and forth tonight, the soles of our feet were burning with pain.
Especially Jiang Wumei, when she was on the road, she always felt a strong smell of blood on her body, which made her almost nauseous. If it weren't for the strong wind at night that blew away some of the smell on her body, she would definitely vomit in front of Xu Junjun.
The two of them were each holding a pile of things and excitedly talking about their future plans. Xu Junjun didn't notice that something was wrong with Jiang Wumei.
After arriving in the city, the two found an inn, washed up and changed into ordinary clothes. Only then did Xu Junjun pull Jiang Wumei in front of him and look her up and down.
"Niao Niao, how did you escape today?
Are there any injuries? "
Xu Junjun's shoulder injury has not healed yet. After running all day today, it hurts again.
Seeing Jiang Wumei's tired eyes, he hurriedly fiddled with her clothes, wanting to see if she was injured.
Jiang Wumei pressed down Xu Junjun's hands that were groping around on her body, smiled and shook her head:
"Don't worry, I'm fine.
The blood on the dress just now was someone else's.
Sit down and I'll tell you slowly."
Jiang Wumei was very curious about Xu Junjun's experience during this period. She pulled her to sit beside her and first told her about the situation in the palace in detail before asking her what she had been doing in the past few days.
Xu Junjun recounted everything in detail, and her teeth chattered with hatred when she mentioned the man who wanted to kill her.
Jiang Wumei frowned, and suddenly remembered something:
"I heard in the palace that Huo Qiming chased the murderer and had his leg broken. It might be the man you mentioned who did it."
Thinking that this group of people might still be in the capital, Jiang Wumei pursed her lips and looked at Xu Junjun:
"Junjun, how much poison do you still have?"
Xu Junjun placed all the medicinal powders she had refined a few days ago on the table:
“Time was too tight, so I only made these few bottles of poison.
In addition to these, there are also several bottles of Heart Protecting Pills."
Jiang Wumei shook her head:
"It's a long journey to Jiangnan, so it's best to prepare some poison for self-defense."
Although they planned to hire people to escort them all the way to the next city, they knew people by their appearance but not by their true intentions, so it was better to keep a few backup plans to be prepared for any eventuality.
Xu Junjun agreed with this, pondered for a moment, and then spoke:
"When we get to the next place, we won't rush on our journey. Let me make more medicinal powder before we continue our journey."
After setting the itinerary, the two took the time to rest.
As soon as daybreak came, the two packed their bags and rented a carriage to leave the capital.
As the carriage left the city gate, Jiang Wumei and Xu Junjun heard a group of soldiers running behind them and saying to the soldiers guarding the city:
"According to orders from our superiors, we will strictly investigate anyone who has come to Beijing these days. Anyone suspected will be detained and not allowed to leave the capital!"
"Yes, sir.
Come on, come on, everyone, step back behind the door and take out your identification documents!
hurry up! "
As the wheels rolled and they heard the soldiers scolding the civilians behind them, the two best friends looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
The carriage drove away from the capital along the official road. Xu Junjun leaned against the wall of the carriage, spread her arms, and smiled widely.
“Free at last!
very nice. "
Jiang Wumei was infected by her and felt relaxed. A bright smile appeared on her beautiful face and she asked:
"Junjun, when we get to Jiangnan, what do you want to do?"
Xu Junjun lifted the curtain and looked out at the vast world, and a heroic spirit burst out in her heart:
"I've thought it through. When we get to Jiangnan, we sisters will buy a big house and enjoy life there.
Then we can open a pharmacy together, I will be the doctor and you will be the manager.
We sisters joined forces to make him a fortune."
Jiang Wumei was amused by her energetic expression and nodded with a smile:
"Okay, I'll do as you say!"
In fact, with the money they saved, they could buy a house and have enough to eat, drink and have fun for the rest of their lives.
However, such days are too decadent. I need to do something serious to pass the time so that I don’t feel lonely.
The carriage moved forward, leaving traces of ruts on the road. The laughter of Jiang Wumei and Xu Junjun could be heard through the curtains, full of hope and joy.
However, this happiness did not last long.
The two arrived at the next city, paid the coachman, and just checked into the inn for lunch. As soon as Jiang Wumei picked up her chopsticks, the fish dish on the table made her stomach churn. She rushed behind the screen and retched continuously.
Xu Junjun was startled and hurriedly chased after her to pat Jiang Wumei's back. Seeing that she looked in pain, she put her fingers on her and immediately took her pulse.
It doesn’t matter if there is no number, but with this number, Xu Junjun has become a living fossil.
Jiang Wumei was vomiting violently. When she finally stopped vomiting, she found Xu Junjun lying there like a wooden statue.
"Junjun, what are you doing?"
Blinking her tear-filled eyes, Jiang Wumei looked at Xu Junjun in confusion.
When she called out to him, Xu Junjun's soul finally returned to his body.
She held Jiang Wumei's arm, pointed at her belly with her right finger, widened her eyes, and said incoherently:
"Niao,,Niao,,, you, you are pregnant!
You’re having a baby!”
"what!"
Jiang Wumei's pupils trembled, and she denied it:
"How is it possible? Xiao Tong and I have never slept together during this period, so how could this child come from?
you……"
At the end of her words, Jiang Wumei's pupils shrank, and she suddenly thought of something and shut up abruptly.
Could it be the period of the palace coup? ! !
Since Xiao Tong woke up, the two had never had any physical contact, the only exception being the few days they stayed in the house outside Beijing.
Could it be that it was those few days of continuous sex that made her pregnant?
But...but, she had been taking the contraceptive soup sent by the Queen and had never taken care of her body. How could she get pregnant as soon as she stopped taking the medicine!
