Chapter 129 Reunion
Chapter 129 Reunion
The two of them rushed to the East Suburb Villa at lightning speed, but found that it was empty, without a single person in sight.
I don't know whether I should feel worried or relieved at this moment. Although Ling Zir'er did not fall into the hands of that group of people, as a pregnant woman, where could she escape to with several maids?
Ling Huaici was obviously aware of this problem. He frowned and began to think seriously about where his sister usually liked to go, or where she might choose to hide when in danger...
At this moment, Qing Han and Ling Huaici's eyes met in the air, and they blurted out almost at the same time: "Huo family!"
As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is often the safest place!
"There is no time to lose." Qing Han stared into Ling Huaici's eyes and squeezed his hand hard to comfort him.
Ling Huaici nodded fiercely: "Okay!"
At this time, the county magistrate led a large number of troops to the East Suburbs Villa and fought with some secret guards...
Huo Zhai.
Ling Zir'er supported her waist with one hand and covered her stomach with the other. Her face was as pale as paper, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down her forehead, and her body was shaking.
Shuzhu, who was standing by, was extremely anxious and held her tightly, fearing that she would accidentally fall to the ground.
Finally, we came to a shady place. Although it was dilapidated, it could still provide some shelter and temporarily avoid this sudden disaster.
Shu Zhu looked at Ling Zier with concern and asked anxiously, "Miss, how do you feel now? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Do you want me to get you some water to drink?"
Ling Zier shook her head slightly, used all her strength to force out a smile, and said softly: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry too much, just take care of yourself first."
Shuzhu looked around and saw the few maids left by her side, and she couldn't help feeling helpless and sad.
The guards who originally followed them were all left in the East Suburb Villa, and now there is no one around them who they can truly rely on.
Her gaze finally rested on Song Yiren, her eyes full of guilt: "Imperial Physician Song, I'm so sorry to have you suffer such an unprovoked disaster with us..." Shuzhu's voice was choked with sobs.
Song Yiren waved her hand gently and comforted them, "This is not your fault. In life, it is inevitable to encounter all kinds of unexpected things. Don't blame yourself. Let's think about what to do next." Her tone was calm and firm, as if she was trying to calm everyone down.
Ling Zir's eyes were as calm as a deep pool. She looked around the courtyard that once carried countless memories for her without any ripples.
Every blade of grass and every tree around her seemed to remind her of the past, but at this moment her heart was unusually calm.
Shu Zhu looked at Ling Zier anxiously and pleaded softly, "Please trouble Imperial Doctor Song to take Miss's pulse again."
Imperial Physician Song nodded slightly to show his agreement, then walked forward, carefully took out a clean handkerchief and spread it on the table, gently stretched out his fingers and placed them on Ling Zir's wrist, and began to concentrate on the diagnosis.
After a moment, Imperial Physician Song frowned, his tone carrying a hint of worry: "Young lady's fetal heart rate is a little unstable, so you need to pay special attention to your emotional stability. Although the current situation is very difficult, young lady should try to relax. I believe that Lord Xie will definitely find a way to save us!"
Hearing this, Ling Zier suddenly raised her eyes and stared straight at Dr. Song, with a gleam of doubt and questioning in her eyes, and asked, "Thank you, sir? Why is Dr. Song so confident?"
Imperial Physician Song was stunned by the question. He obviously did not expect Ling Zir'er to have such a reaction.
He turned his head to look at Shuzhu, only to see Shuzhu constantly winking at him, as if trying to hint at something.
Finally, Dr. Song shook his head helplessly and replied, "It's just based on my intuition from many years of practicing medicine."
However, it was this simple sentence that successfully attracted Ling Zier's attention...

Shu Zhu quickly cleaned up a room and helped Ling Zirro in. With her extraordinary hearing, she immediately realized that something was wrong.
Ling Zier keenly sensed Shuzhu's tense physical state and asked with concern, "What happened?"
Shu Zhu frowned tightly and whispered, "Someone is coming!"
Ling Zier's heart tightened and she frowned. She only heard Shu Zhu continue to say: "There are not many people, about a hundred people, and there are also the sound of horse hooves, it should be a sedan chair..."
As Shuzhu described, Ling Zir's heart beat faster and faster.
Finally, when Shuzhu said the exact number of horses, Ling Zir's face turned pale as paper - six.
In the Yu Dynasty, only the emperor's carriage was pulled by six horses. This specification was called "the emperor driving six horses."
This system not only demonstrates the emperor's majesty and supreme ruling status, but also embodies a ritual system.
At this moment, the identity of the person coming is self-evident...it must be Huo Yanchen without a doubt.
However, as his wife, Ling Zir's expression at this moment was very different from that of a couple who had reunited after a long separation. Instead, she looked more like... an enemy.
Shuzhu was concentrating on thinking about how to solve the problem and didn't notice the change in her expression at all.
At the same time, Song Yiren keenly noticed the unusual situation and quickly came to the door and knocked, making a "knock knock knock" sound.
Ling Zier responded expressionlessly: "Come in."
Song Yiren pushed open the door and walked into the room. She saw through the nervousness of the two people at a glance and secretly guessed that they might have already learned the news.
So, she got straight to the point without hesitation: "How should we deal with it?"
Shuzhu's heart tightened, and after careful consideration, he made an important decision...
Huo Yanchen ordered his men to stop the carriage in front of the main gate, and then ordered them to remove the seal on the door. Then, he personally took steps and walked slowly and firmly into the gate.
Every movement he makes reveals an aura of nobility and his every move perfectly blends elegance and temperament. Such a person can always easily attract the attention of people around him.
Before long, many onlookers gathered around the Huo Mansion, pointing at the gate curiously.
However, these people did not know who had entered the mansion, they were just attracted by the elegant and gentle young man.
Huo Yanchen walked slowly and heavily over every inch of land, as if he wanted to imprint everything here deeply in his heart.
Every corner carries bits and pieces of the past, and those beautiful memories flooded into his heart like a tide, making him immerse himself in them involuntarily.
However, at this moment, a drop of crystal tear quietly slid down his resolute face.
It turned out that the news just brought by his subordinates was like a bolt from the blue, letting him know that his wife was missing... Although he had been prepared in his heart, he still found it hard to bear when the cruel reality lay before him.
He had told himself countless times to be strong and face the worst possible situation, but now, his beloved Zi'er had left him like this, how could he let it go?
Instantly, his eyes were attracted by an abnormality in the dilapidated mansion not far away. In sharp contrast to the surrounding mess, it looked exceptionally clean and tidy.
This scene was like a step back in time, bringing back memories deep in his heart.
Back then, the self with a heart full of filth accidentally broke into the world of a girl who was as pure as water.
She had a beautiful smile and bright eyes, and she used her warmth and kindness to create a pure land for his soul...
He closed his eyes tightly, trying to free himself from the illusion, but when he opened them again, the place was still spotless and tidy.
Huo Yanchen's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and his emotions surged like a flood.
He couldn't contain his inner excitement and rushed forward. At this moment, he felt as if he had reached a peak he had never reached in his life.
"Could it be you?" he murmured to himself, his voice trembling slightly and filled with endless anticipation.
But what appeared before him was a strange face he had never seen before, and Huo Yanchen was dumbfounded.
The "couple" took the initiative to explain: "Is this your home? Ouch! Please spare us, we are fleeing here and have nowhere else to go, so we crawled in through that dog hole..."
Huo Yanchen waved his hands at his men and said, "Kill them!"
Shuzhu prepared for the worst and originally wanted to bear it all by himself so that others would have time to escape.
But Song Yiren was determined to stay, and Shuzhu became even more obsessed with the person in front of him...
At this moment, the two looked at each other, with all kinds of emotions in their eyes, except the fear of death.
Huo Yanchen had noticed something was wrong a long time ago. If it was an ordinary person, how could he be so calm when hearing about death? It must be extraordinary!
Sure enough, at the moment when the knife fell, someone rushed out of the house and stood in front of the woman, shouting: "Stop!"
Huo Yanchen knew who was coming just by the voice, and he quickly caught his subordinate's sword with his bare hands.
At the moment when the blood dripped out, Huo Yanchen and Ling Zier stared at each other from a distance...
