Xi's face was always wearing a half-smile and half-serious expression. She scrutinized Feng Lingxi carefully, her tone full of concern."Fourth Royal Wife, it has been months since we last met. How did...Then, I'll leave it to you.
Bai Mo Bai heard Feng Ling Xi say this, and hurriedly let her in. Looking at the people coming and going to help, Bai Mo Bai clenched his fists, silently vowing that if the Fourth Princess could help Bai Girl and her daughter safely, he would agree to her request.
Fei Ling entered the room and saw the woman lying on the bed, writhing in pain. The sheets were stained with blood, revealing one of her feet.
"The child's feet came out first, Xiaoli, help me, and the others get hot towels, as fast as possible."
Feng Lingxi finished her instructions, took out the acupuncture kit, and placed the scalpel neatly. Xiao Li immediately stepped forward to help. The woman standing aside saw the gleaming scalpel in Feng Lingxi's hand and hurriedly stopped her, "What are you doing"
"Get out, if you linger, neither children nor adults will be spared."
When the midwife was scolded like that, she hurried out. Bai Mo saw the midwife and immediately stopped her, asking, "What's the situation"
"That woman is crazy, she's holding a knife, it's terrifying..."
"Master Bai, is this Fourth Madam really capable What if something happens to Miss Bai..."
Bai Mo looked at his brothers who wanted to rush in, clenched his fists, his forehead covered in beads of sweat, forcing himself to calm down.
“When the previous emperor passed away, it was said within the palace that it was the Fourth Princess Consort who poisoned him. But I know, the Fourth Princess Consort is a skilled physician. It was she who cured the poison on the Emperor. We are waiting here, believing that she will surely save White Lady and her child.”
Time ticked by, and from within the wooden house came Bai Gu's heart-wrenching cries. Anyone who heard it would be chilled to the bone. Inside, Feng Lingxi had her hands covered in blood, quickly performing surgery. This was her first time delivering a baby here.
Suddenly, a baby's loud cry came. Bai Mo Bai raised his head and looked at the wooden hut with delight, quickly stepping forward. At this moment, the door of the wooden hut also opened. Bai Mo Bai eagerly asked, "Is Bai Gu's condition alright"
"The Fourth Princess was sewing for her, she fainted but the bleeding has stopped. She's out of danger, just needs a little time. The Fourth Princess asked me to tell you, don't worry."
Bai Mo's heart, which had been hanging in the balance, finally settled as he looked at the child held by the old woman's hands.
"Is it a boy or a girl"
The old woman beamed, “It’s a boy, chubby and white as snow.”
Baimo reached out and took the child, looking at the child's face, his eyes reddened.
"Master Bai, let me take the child to clean him up."
Bai Mo quickly handed the child to her and stood guard outside the door. After a stick of incense, Feng Lingxi walked out. Seeing Bai Mo still standing there, she said, “Miss Bai has fallen asleep. When she wakes up, she'll be fine after resting for a few days.”
“Thanks to the Fourth Princess’s help, they mother and son would have been in grave danger.”
Feng Lingxi looked at the villagers guarding outside the house. She was truly curious about this white girl's identity.
If she were a white woman, they wouldn't call her Bai Girl.
"Don't be so polite, Master Bai. Saving lives is a doctor's duty, and besides, their mother and son are fated to be connected with me."
Bai Mo made a gesture to Feng Lingxi, inviting her to go with him to the front hall for tea.
"This white girl was a woman we rescued. Her life story is pitiful, and she doesn't know who the father of her child is. She wouldn't say even when she was dying. After we brought her back, we settled her there."
"Was she already pregnant when she came"
When Bai Mo saw Feng Lingxi frowning, he nodded and said, "Miss Bai had attempted suicide several times, wanting to abort the child, but I dissuaded her. After talking it through with her, she gave up on harming herself and agreed to give birth to the child."
"I see, that's why you're all so anxious about her."
Feng Lingxi, seeing Bai Mo's helpless expression, must have felt a resonance with Bai because both of them had similar backgrounds.
“We all hope she’s alright and can live a good life.”
Bai Mo Bai looked at Feng Ling Xi, "Fourth Princess, you said, Mo Bai agrees to you. As long as you can protect the people in this village, I, Bai Mo Bai, can give you my life."
Wind Ling was slightly surprised, she didn't expect this matter to help her so much.
"Master Bai, you're too kind. I'm so happy that you would agree to do such a thing for me. What can I possibly want your life for"
Bai Mo stood up, took his brush and ink, wrote a contract, and handed it to Feng Lingxi.
“Fourth Royal Wife, Mo Bai has no other intentions. He only hopes that you will sign it to ensure the safety of all the people in my tribe.”
Feng Lingxi looked at the letter of guarantee, took up a pen and ink to write her own name.
"Feng Ling, since I've agreed to your request, I won't allow Du Gu Cheng to harm the people here. Bai Family Head, keep this letter of guarantee safe. Tomorrow, I will discuss this matter with Du Gu Cheng. From now on, we are on the same side."
Feng Lingxi wrote a note and handed it to him, "This is my personal letter. You send someone to deliver it to Dugu City's hands. I believe Mr. Bai can do it. I will stay here waiting for his reply, guaranteeing the safety of everyone in this village. That way, Mr. Bai can rest assured"
Bai Mo stood up and bowed, apologizing, "Fourth Princess, Bai Mo doesn't mean to not trust you. It's just that this village has thousands of lives at stake, so I have no choice but to act this way."
"I know, so I'll make you absolutely comfortable."
Bai Mo Bai Ming Ren sent the letter out, while Feng Ling Xi stayed in the mountain stronghold, waiting for Dugu City's reply.
Dugu Cheng and Ye Xi had just finished packing when they received a letter from Shan Zhai. Upon opening it, Dugu Cheng frowned slightly.
"My Lord, what's the matter"
Ye Xi leaned forward, seeing the contents of the letter, she looked at the King with disbelief, "Your Highness, could it be that they forced the Princess to write this"
"Xier is much more efficient than this King. Not only did she not waste a single soldier, but she also helped this King find a capable general."
Dugu Cheng's smile at the corner of his lips gradually widened, he took off the night-walking clothes from his body and threw them aside.
"Tomorrow, accompany this king to the mountain village. No need to come tonight."
"My Lord, do you believe what's written in this letter What if the Princess was forced"
Dugu Cheng glanced at Ye Xi, “When has Xi’er ever been forced by others And besides, this is her handwriting. These bandits, I’ve investigated them, are not some vicious ruffians. The chieftain is Bai Mo Bai, the eldest son of Yang Lin County magistrate, a rare talent.”
Night Xi was dumbfounded, "Your Highness, when did you investigate Why didn't my subordinates know"
Dugu Cheng lay down smoothly, "You dare come to suppress bandits without preparation"
Yè xī yǔ sè, zhè wángyé zìxìn de yàngzi zhēn shì ràng tā fā mèn, dìngrán shì nàtiān bù dài tā chūmén, zìgě qù chá de.
Let me know if you'd like any other text translated!
"Dugu City smiled, "This move of Xier is really good."
"My Lord, the Emperor didn't say to let these bandits go. What if the Emperor insists on us killing them Would we dare disobey his order"
Without bandits, where would there be bandit suppression And where would there be defiance of imperial ordersclues and spread them around, whitewashing you and reducing the number of assassination attempts against you. However, this still cannot change the fact that there are people behind the scenes manipul...
