Chapter 98

Beitang Ao also had such doubts, but he didn’t want to discuss this matter with Yan Feili. He said, “Feili, it’s too late today, let’s rest early.”

Yan Feili shook his head tiredly, “No, I don’t want to sleep.” 

Beitang Ao frowned and spoke, “Don’t do this. Even if you don’t do it for yourself, you have to think of the children.”

As if responding to Beitang Ao’s words, the children in Yan Feili’s belly suddenly kicked. Yan Feili’s face changed, and he covered his stomach and bent down slightly.

Beitang Ao hurriedly said, “What’s the matter?”

Yan Feili frowned and said nothing. Beitang Ao told him, “I’ll go get Qiu Yeyuan.” 

Yan Feili grabbed him and said, “No. No need…”

After a long while, Beitang Ao sat up slightly and said, “I will help you get some rest.”

Yan Feili did not object this time. Beitang Ao lifted him and walked to the bed’s side. When Beitang Ao saw Yan Feili lying down, Yan Feili’s expression was still awful, pale and tired, anxious and worried.

Beitang Ao was more worried because Beitang Ri and Yaohui were his heart, and Lin Yanyan was also his wife. For the past three days, he searched for them all day and night, without letting go of any clue. Yet it seemed as if he only played into the palms of someone.

A woman from the countryside knocked on the gate of the quarter. She claimed that she was entrusted to send something to someone surnamed Yan. The servant who opened the gate didn’t know what was going on and turned things up. 

It turned out to be the small bamboo sword that Beitang Ri wore. Yan Feili pulled out the sword, and it broke into two pieces. The tip fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Yan Feili ‘s face paled, but he was still firm. Beitang Ao immediately went out and ordered the dark guard to investigate the woman.

However, both of them knew that they wouldn’t find anything.

Yan Feili said in a deep voice, “I have to go! Otherwise, they will hurt Li’er.” 

Beitang Ao replied, “I will tell Ling Zhu to arrange someone to attend the appointment as you.”

Yan Feili clasped Beitang Ao and nodded slowly.

The appointment in the letter was for tomorrow afternoon. Yan Feili was to meet them at the foot of Fengqi Mountain in the outskirts of Beijing. But how can it be so simple?

Beitang Ao led people to guard there for half a day, but no one was there. He faintly felt bitter in his heart. He hurriedly took the people back to the Beitang Palace and rushed back to the other quarter. When he got there, dozens of shadow guards he arranged had suffered heavy casualties. 

He rushed into the inner garden, but Yan Feili had long been gone.

Yan Feili woke up drowsy and perplexed. He couldn’t see what’s in front of him and felt a faint belly pain. He raised his hand and tried to touch, but found that his arm was sore and weak.

With a low groan, Yan Feili finally gathered the strength and looked around carefully. As soon as he propped up, his abdominal pain worsened. 

With a clatter, the door opened slightly, and someone walked in.

The light shone in from behind the door. For a moment, it was hard to see the figure, but the faint fragrance of a woman told him the identity.

“Madam.” Yan Feili closed his eyes and opened slowly.

Lin Yanyan’s gaze fell on his swollen body, particularly the bulging abdomen. Then her eyes became fierce and disgusted, “General Yan, long time no see. I hoped you were able to come here without problems!” 

Yan Feili did not speak but looked directly at her. The familiar figure behind him solemnly said, “Ling Zhu!”

Ling Zhu stood there still with the cold expression that had not changed for thousands of years.

Lin Yanyan smiled, but her eyes were deep and cold, “General Yan didn’t expect it? Is it uncomfortable to be betrayed? Just as I could not imagine, you have this kind of relationship with him!”

Then, she stared closely at his bulging belly, “Do not tell me you’re possessed by the devil practice. What will become the look of that thing!” 

Yan Feili supported himself on top of the bed with one hand and covered his abdomen with one hand, “What do you want?”

Lin Yanyan tilted her head slightly, showing that she is thinking. The temples were flowing with silky strands, charming and moving. After a while, she said, “I haven’t figured it out yet, but I want to see what can you give birth to!”

Suddenly she giggled and said, “I forgot. Didn’t you give birth to one before? No wonder I always feel that that little bastard Ri looks a bit like you. It turns out you gave birth to him as a man. Although I heard that there was a Moye nation in ancient times where both men and women can give birth, it has not been observed in a hundred years.”

Yan Feili ‘s eyebrows frowned when he heard about Beitang Ri. Listening to her resentful but calm tone made Yan Feili very disturbed. The restlessness in his abdomen suddenly became violent, causing him to pale immediately, and his hands became tighter. 

Lin Yanyan was meticulous and observant, and when she saw it, she said, “General Yan seems to be uncomfortable. Did you have fetal gas? It is almost the same as when you gave birth in the other courtyard. I’m afraid you can’t bear this rush. Your stomach is so big, isn’t it about to give birth.”

Yan Fei’s abdominal pain tightened for a while, cold sweat broke out all over, and he could no longer hold his body and fell back.
