Chapter 351 Yearning for Freedom
Chapter 351 Yearning for Freedom
Yao Jia's hand gently covered her abdomen. There seemed to be no sign of life there, but ripples were already forming in her heart.
Gu Xiyan was overjoyed, squatting in front of Yao Jia and putting his hand on hers, "Yao Yao, we have our own child."
"Yaoyao...finally...is pregnant with my child." Bai Huahua sighed weakly on the couch, and then burst into tears of joy.
"Master, I didn't expect that you would give birth to a child for Huaichuan. Huaichuan is so happy." Huaichuan was so moved that his eyes were filled with tears.
Xu Yanlou: …………
He reminded quietly, "Everyone, the Pavilion Master cannot be pregnant with your children at the same time."
"Of course we know!"
The three of them said in unison, and then argued with each other that the baby in Yao Jia's belly was theirs, and pulled Xu Yanlou to take her pulse again to see whose child it was.
Xu Yanlou looked helpless and asked Yao Jia for help.
Yao Jia's cheeks couldn't help but turn red. She glared at the three of them, feeling both embarrassed and amused.
Tell those three to shut up and stop embarrassing themselves.
Turning to look at Xu Yanlou, his eyes were full of apology, "Excuse me, Doctor Xu, but I wonder if you can confirm how many months the fetus is?"
As Xu Yanlou sorted out the medicine box, he said, "It's less than two months yet. Pavilion Master needs to be more careful and avoid strenuous exercise. At the same time, pay attention to diet and keep a happy mood. This is very important for the growth of the fetus."
Then he picked up the medicine box and fled from this dangerous place.
Yao Jia looked at his hurried back, feeling both happy and nervous. She gently stroked her belly, which was not yet pregnant, and felt the wonder and responsibility of being a mother for the first time.
She turned around and glared at the three people who were still on edge. She leaned forward and scolded, "Did you hear what Doctor Xu said? You have to stay happy, don't do strenuous exercise, and pay attention to your diet and mood! The most important thing now is the little life in my belly. The three of you should be quiet and stop making trouble here!"
The three of them realized their own gaffe and calmed down.
Gu Xiyan gently helped Yao Jia sit on the soft chair and whispered softly: "Yao Yao, don't worry, San Lang won't make you angry anymore. Is there anything you want to eat? I will cook porridge for you now, okay?"
Huaichuan also stepped forward and said, "Master, porridge is not as nutritious as fish soup. I will catch a fish and stew it for you."
Although Bai Huahua was still weak, she tried hard to force a smile, with determination in her weakness.
"Yaoyao, why don't we go back early and let Mingjue take another look. Maybe he can figure out whose child you are. It's really inconvenient to live in this enclosure. There are always accidents from time to time. I'm afraid..."
Thinking of the assassin last night and the bloody scene just now, the baby's face turned even paler.
The other two also agreed with Bai Huahua's statement.
Yao Jia nodded in agreement. Since the three people had been taken care of, there was no need to stay any longer. The important thing was to go back and take care of the pregnancy.
Pick up the letter and look at it.
“Pavilion Master Nangong, I am writing to you. When you read this letter, I will have left this cage that has kept me lost for more than 20 years, and will use the last days of my life to travel around the beautiful scenery of Daxia.
It's so sad to think that when I was in the most difficult and helpless time, the person who helped me was not my parents, not my brothers, not my friends, but you - the imaginary enemy I always thought of. Although I know that you didn't mean it sincerely, I still thank you.
I did a lot of things to my cousin, leaving Song Wei to him so that he could use her to control the Jiang family. But she was willing to stay with my cousin. I really didn't want to look at Xiao Fengli again, but I was unwilling to let him go. In exchange, Song Wei helped me to take revenge on him, but I paid for it.
Take care
I want to put an end to my own life myself."
Yao Jia felt mixed emotions after reading Jiang Sirong's letter.
Jiang Sirong chose to end her life entanglement with Xiao Fengli in an extreme way, and also put a bold end to her own life.
How cool!
Yao Jia stood up and looked into the distance, with both longing for the future and uneasiness about the unknown in her heart.
"Let's get ready and set off back to Beijing tomorrow. Although this place is picturesque, it's not a place to stay for long."
Maybe I can learn from Jiang Sirong's free and easy personality.
Standing between Huaichuan and Gu Xiyan, he put his arms around them and said, "I should also consider taking you around the countries to see the scenery that I have never seen with my own eyes, and experience different regions and customs."
Yao Jia's words were full of longing and determination. She looked up at Gu Xiyan and Huaichuan, with a firm light in her eyes.
Gu Xiyan smiled slightly, his eyes full of love and support for Yao Jia, "No matter where you decide to go, Sanlang will accompany you. I will be with you to the ends of the earth."
Huaichuan also nodded vigorously, his eyes flashing with excitement and anticipation, "Master, Huaichuan will also follow you all the time, protect you, and will not let you get hurt in the slightest. I will cook all kinds of delicious food for you."
"And me, I want to go too..." Bai Huahua on the couch responded weakly.
"Where are you planning to go? How about taking me with you?"
As soon as Bai Huahua finished speaking, An He had already walked into the tent with the curtain lifted, followed by Xiao Fengyi.
An He walked to Yao Jia with a smile on his face. He looked around her belly and touched it gently.
"If Yanlou hadn't told us, no one would have known that there was a baby living in your belly, right, brother?"
She turned around to look at Xiao Fengyi.
Xiao Fengyi nodded, his eyes always on Yao Jia's face. Although he was a man, he had witnessed the hardships his mother went through when she was pregnant with An He, and the thrill of childbirth.
"How do you feel? Are you feeling unwell?"
Yao Jia smiled and shook her head, her heart filled with warmth.
"It's okay. I can't feel anything since it's still young."
Xiao Fengyi's expression eased a little, but he still couldn't hide his concern.
"If there's anything you want to eat, I'll tell the royal chef to make it."
An He interrupted with a bit of mischief in his tone: "Yes, Yaoyao, you are our treasure now, we must protect you well. If you want to eat something, I will go into the enclosure and hunt it for you."
As she spoke, she suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Gu Xiyan and Huaichuan, her eyes full of teasing, "I almost forgot that you have two husbands who can shoot arrows with a single shot. I'd better not embarrass myself. I'll just stay here with you and wait for your help."
This made everyone laugh.
Ever since he tasted Huaichuan's cooking, Anhe often thought about coming to Yaojia's place for a meal.
Seeing that the atmosphere was harmonious, Xiao Fengyi suggested, "The Pavilion Master is pregnant, which is a happy event. How about we celebrate in the enclosure tomorrow?"
An He thought it was a great idea and was about to agree with it when he was stopped by Yao Jia.
"I'd better not. The baby is not yet stable and I don't want to make it too public. Besides, I'm planning to return to Beijing tomorrow."
"You're going back tomorrow?"
Xiao Fengyi unconsciously clenched his hands in his sleeves, but thinking about the unrest in the past few days, it was indeed not appropriate for Yao Jia to stay here.
"That's fine. I'll talk to my father on your behalf. Just rest here."
Yao Jia nodded gently, looked at Xiao Fengyi gratefully, and bowed to him, "Then I'll trouble you, Your Majesty. Please tell His Majesty that Nangong Jiayao is very grateful."
She winked at him playfully, but her tone was sincere.
Xiao Fengyi's eyes flickered slightly, and he reached out to hold her, "You, don't ever say thank you to me again. If you weren't immune to all poisons, I might have been beheaded last night."
He wrapped his warm palm around her small hand, his phoenix eyes glowed with passion, and he spoke sincerely, "Yaoyao, you will be the most distinguished woman in Daxia in the future, and your child will be the most anticipated hope in this land."
Yao Jia's cheeks flushed again. She gently pulled her hand back, but did not break free from the warmth and strength.
She raised her eyes to look at Xiao Fengyi, and met his tender eyes. Her heart suddenly stopped, and Mr. Nanshan's words once echoed in her mind.
Could it be that he really had some thoughts about me that he shouldn't have?
