Chapter 430 The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (One Hundred and Eighty)

For the first time, Qi Xingsheng realized that this woman was being unreasonable. He said helplessly, "It's already late, and you're still thinking about other people's affairs. You've been pregnant for ten months, and the baby should be out by now. She just gave birth a few days ago, and we're not in a hurry to switch the babies. Why should she take the labor-inducing medicine now? Three midwives are delivering your baby. Do you want her to deliver it herself? Or do you want to give her two midwives?"

Yuan Qiuli, sweating profusely, said unconvincedly, "Since we're going to give birth anyway, why can't she do it a few days earlier? It doesn't make sense that my pain shouldn't hurt her! I gave her the midwife, but what if I don't have enough manpower here? It's just a small matter, can't you satisfy me? I just don't like her and want to punish her."

Qi Xingsheng looked at this self-righteous woman and found her quite selfish. Without a midwife, did she think that a pampered imperial concubine would deliver her own child? Or perhaps Yuan Qiuli simply wanted Cui Li to die so that she could become the real "Cui Li".

He didn't want to argue with her and warned her, "Just shut up, save your energy and give birth to the child. Otherwise, if you die, all wealth and glory will have nothing to do with you."

After Qi Xingsheng and Yuan Qiuli whispered a few words, the midwife and the maid sent Yuan Qiuli into the house.

Yuan Qiuli was screaming and shouting, so Qi Xingsheng immediately asked the maid to go in and tell Yuan Qiuli to stop screaming and save her energy for giving birth.

Qi Xingsheng sat down after the screams from inside died down and asked the maid who came out to pour water, "How long will it take for her to give birth?"

"Master, the midwife said it might take another three or four hours, or even seven or eight hours. It depends on Madam Li's condition."

"What's taking so long? Go get busy first."

The maid bowed respectfully and stepped back.

Qi Xingsheng asked his subordinate Cui Li about her whereabouts and learned that she was still reading in the room, so he just ordered his subordinates to keep her under guard.

"Have Shuka stay with Cui Li at all times and guard her. Don't let anything happen to her."

"Yes, don't worry, Master."

Yuan Qiuli and her child were related to the great cause of Qi State, so Qi Xingsheng personally guarded outside the house.

The sun sets, and half an hour later, night falls completely, and lanterns are lit in the house.

Cui Li stood on the hillside, looking at the house a mile away from the mountain. The brightly lit area in the center was obviously the yard where Yuan Qiuli lived.

Shuka touched the hilt of his sword with one hand and asked doubtfully, "Didn't you say you wouldn't run away? Why are you leaving now?"

Cui Li pointed at the house without saying anything.

Shuka followed her finger and looked down. Suddenly, his pupils shrank slightly. People who practiced martial arts had very good eyesight. In the dark night, even from a distance of a mile, he could still see that someone had attacked the residence of the Prince of Qi.

The first to be killed were the guards at the front and back gates. Under attack from unknown hidden weapons, the guards fell without a sound. Soon, dozens of dark figures sneaked in, approaching with menacing force.

"Are you here to rescue me? Are you afraid Qi Xingsheng will take you hostage, so you want to leave first?"

Cui Li shook his head and said, "I don't know who it is, but it's likely that they are not here to save me, but to kill me. That's why I asked you to take me out of the house first."

"Who is it?"

"The Ji people, right? After all, the people who want me dead the most right now are the Ji people."

"What! People from Ji? How did they find this place?"

Cui Li glanced at Shuka, and her expression told Shuka that the Ji people found this place through him.

"Damn it! Was it the blue-green butterfly you mentioned the other day? Now I remember, the Wu Clan seems to have a kind of spiritual butterfly used to find people. Are the Wu Clan members coming? Who's leading them?"

"how could I know?"

Cui Li looked down the mountain and faintly heard the sound of weapons clashing. It seemed that the two sides were fighting.

"My Lord, this is bad, Cui is missing!"
