The news that Qingmei had been found brought them all a sigh of relief.
Madam Yun said, "I heard that General Xiao's condition is not good. I'm also worried about your current situation. Why don't we have someone invite General Xiao to the palace?"
“I sent someone to ask, and he can only rest in bed now.”
Yun Xiyue decided to leave the palace and go to the Xiao residence.
We must not let our soldiers lose heart at this time.
The next day, Yun Xiyue left the palace and came to the Xiao residence.
It wasn't snowing, and the sun was shining.
When the weather is relatively warm.
The entire Xiao family came out to greet her, but Yun Xiyue said, "There's no need for such trouble. I'm traveling incognito, just to visit General Xiao."
"Mother, please."
Madam Xiao has passed away.
The other men of the Xiao family went to the border. Madam Xiao led people out to greet them, and then led Yun Xiyue to the residence of General Xiao.
General Xiao has been bedridden for many months, and his health is deteriorating, especially in winter when his chronic illness relapses, causing him excruciating pain every day.
Sometimes he wanted to go with Grand Tutor Zhou.
"My lady..."
General Xiao was deeply moved that Yun Xiyue was able to leave the palace to visit him. "Why did you leave the palace?" he asked.
"General, don't move." Yun Xiyue gestured for him to lie down, and then took his pulse.
The minor medical manual came out with it, but it couldn't float away; it could only record the symptoms, which Yunxi Yue would then review upon returning home.
"General, do not worry. I can take care of your condition."
Yunxi Yue brought silver needles to give him acupuncture.
After the acupuncture, General Xiao felt much better.
"Thank you, ma'am."
Yun Xiyue said, "When Master comes back, he can take good care of your health. You can't afford to get hurt. You have to have faith in the Emperor and yourself."
"As you can see, I am currently pregnant, and I will certainly need the General to take charge of the overall situation."
These words struck a chord with General Xiao. "I certainly need to wait for the Emperor to return."
Yun Xiyue nodded, and when it was almost time, she got up and returned to the palace.
"Miss!"
Leng Yan and Yun Xiaohan escorted him out of the palace, but they encountered assassins on their way back.
The carriage moved slowly along the quiet street, its wheels creaking as they rolled over the cobblestones. Suddenly, Leng Yan cried out in alarm, and the carriage came to a screeching halt.
Yun Xiyue was sitting in the carriage, resting with her eyes closed, when she was startled. Before she could react, she heard a commotion of footsteps and the sound of weapons clashing outside.
The palace maid Caiwei was a little nervous, "Your Majesty..."
After Qingmei left, she stirred up several palace maids around her. This Caiwei was originally from Zichen Palace.
"Don't panic!" Yun Xiyue glanced at her, signaling her to calm down.
She was much more timid than her childhood sweetheart.
They are not calm enough when faced with problems.
"Protect the Empress!" Leng Yan shouted, drawing his sword and leading his men to surround the carriage.
Yun Xiaohan said in a low voice, "Take Yue'er back to the palace first. If you encounter any obstacles on the way back, go back to the Yun family first."
Leng Yan nodded.
Looking out through the crack in the car window, Yun Xiyue saw a group of masked men in black pouring out from the surrounding rooftops and alleyways.
The lead assassin, with a cold and stern gaze, held a gleaming longsword and charged towards the carriage without a word.
The imperial guards fought bravely, but the assassins were numerous and highly skilled in martial arts.
In an instant, swords clashed and sparks flew.
Yun Xiyue instinctively protected her stomach in the carriage, knowing she couldn't panic.
She composed herself and quietly took out a dagger from under her seat, preparing to defend herself if necessary.
Caiwei stood trembling in front of her, saying, "Your Majesty, this servant will protect you."
Yun Xiyue smiled and said, "Don't panic. There are imperial guards outside. Leng Yan is highly skilled in martial arts, and there are also guards from the Yun family."
"If these assassins dare to come, we will make sure they never leave alive."
At this moment, an assassin broke through the defenses, rushed towards the carriage, and reached out to lift the curtain.
Seizing the opportunity, Yun Xiyue suddenly thrust out her dagger, causing the assassin to stumble back several steps in pain. But more assassins surged forward, and the carriage swayed precariously amidst the fierce fighting.
"Miss!"
