After they had enough fun, the two of them returned to the boat to rest for a while. Under Chu Jinglans intentional or otherwise amelioration, Ye Huaiyangs fear of water subsided a lot and coupled with so many brightly-colored and cute lanterns, the glittering river was not as frightful anymore. Coincidentally, she was a little hungry now, hence the two people had some supper on the pleasure boat.

The boat had everything needed. Since today was after all the Lantern Festival, Ye Huaiyang had Yueya made two bowls of stuffed glutinous rice balls as customary to the festival. There were osmanthus, strawberry and even the most common sesame groundnut fillings. Each was plumply stuffed with a smooth coating and juicy. Steaming hot sweet aroma instantly filled the lips and teeth from just a bite off the porcelain spoon.

Chu Jinglan has never liked these sweet foods. He put down the spoon after taking two bites then urged her from time to time to be careful of scalding her tongue. She responded with a smile then took advantage of the cooling gap to bring up amusing incidents of her childhoods Lantern Festival. He shook his head as he listened then amidst the talks and laughter, there was a sudden jolt on the deck followed closely by the sound of shadow guards unsheathing their swords.

Who is so bold as to dare trespass here?

The two of them were trying to see who this uninvited guest was when a familiar voice drifted in which was still as quirky but deliberately lowered.

Whats the display of knives, cant you see its this little master ah? Make way, make way. This little master wants to go in to stay low.

Saying that, Chu Zhenghe entered unceremoniously and immediately closed the door like a thief. Turning around, he found Chu Jinglan staring at him coldly and pulled out a flattering smile at once.

Why are you here? Ye Huaiyang shook the glutinous rice ball in her hand at him, Want a bowl?

Chu Zhenghe, who was stifled by the cold aura, was so touched that he almost cried and nodded his head hurriedly before sitting down on the edge of the low table and said, Its still the Imperial Sister-in-law who is the best.

Chu Jinglan did not intend to let him go and asked bluntly, Who did you provoked again?

Chu Zhenghe smiled awkwardly upon hearing this. Before he could explain the reason, there was a loud noise outside which made Ye Huaiyang drop her spoon out of shock. Frowning, Chu Jinglan stroked her chest then opened the window in passing to look out. It turned out two pleasure boats had a side collision. However, there were no casualties and the hull was not damaged.

With such a wide river, even if there were many boats, it was difficult to crash into another and from this angle, this obviously appeared intentional. Staring at the two incomparably luxurious boats, Chu Jinglan could see the inklings from the shouting of the crowd above.

It was Chu Zhenghes boat that was hit.

And this was not over yet. After several more luxuriously adorned boats drew near one after another, the emblem engraved on the side of the boats were all Wangdus reputed prominent families. A group of gorgeously dressed ladies then successively leapt over the wooden planks to board Chu Zhenghes boat. Waving their handkerchiefs, they rushed inside where the guards could not even stop them and the scene was chaotic.

After the initial shock had passed, Ye Huaiyang stared agape at the scene and muttered, These these people are all coming for you?

Yes. Chu Zhenghe assumed a miserable expression, while Chu Jinglan tossed him a murderous look before he immediately returned to normalcy, Alas, its all this Kings fault for being so appealing and cant even be trouble-free for the festival ..

Ye Huaiyang pointed at his feet and said, Quickly pick it up. Your face has fallen off.

Eh? Imperial Sister-in-law, you are no good like this. You must know how many wanton bees and lascivious butterflies I have imperceptibly helped Imperial Brother ward off ah! It is fine if you dont thank me, but you still dont believe

Qingfeng, throw him back to his own boat.

As soon as Chu Jinglan opened his mouth, Tang Qingfeng came in readily and Chu Zhenghe promptly begged for mercy, Im wrong, is it still not allowed that Im wrong? All of you mustnt not save me from mortal danger ah! I will certainly be eaten alive by those women if you throw me back now!

You will nevertheless get your shoes wet when you constantly stroll along the riverbank. Ye Huaiyang snickered, as if watching a good show.

Seeing them continuously changing sides, Chu Zhenghe almost fell to his knees. At this moment, a small boat quietly glided across the water which attracted their attention. Holding a long thin bamboo pole, the woman on the boat stretched out easily and effortlessly drifted a few meters away. She is obviously someone who excelled in martial arts.

Staring intently, Chu Zhenghes face changed slightly.

Docking her small boat under the pleasure boat, the woman used her inner force to raise her voice, Chu Zhenghe, you come out!

Seeing her, the chief guard immediately released those incessant pestering warblers and swallows on the side before withdrawing himself to respond, General Huo, Wangye is really not onboard.

The woman snorted coldly, You have fully mimicked Chu Zhenghes skill of telling a bare-faced lie.

Its true that hes not here. Im not lying to you!

The aggrieved chief guard had yet to finish his sentence when a loud and clear sound was heard. Looking down, the pleasure boat had actually been thwacked a hole! The woman stood there with the horizontal bamboo pole and a face full of calmness. Under his gaze, she blatantly striked again, and now water started leaking from both sides!

Then just let him drown with the boat.

Visible to the naked eyes, the pleasure boat began to slowly sink with screaming sounds coming from above once her words waned off. Those exhilarated ladies, who wanted to come for Chu Zhenghe just now, were now scurrying on the deck. Some were knocked over while some tumbled like dogs chomped on mud and it was entirely in utter confusion. Chu Zhenghe witnessed the whole process on this side and the glutinous ball in his throat almost choked him to death.

. Didnt expect there is still this type around you. Cupping her hands at him. Ye Huaiyangs face was full of hard to suppress smiles.

Imperial Sister-in-law, dont make fun of me Feeling a few seconds distress for his boat, Chu Zhenghe then quickly closed the windows tightly and urged, Go quick, if that female demon sees me here, Im afraid even this boat is done for too.

Both men excelled in martial arts but Ye Huaiyang wouldnt be able to withstand the least bit of tossing. For assurances sake, Chu Jinglan still had the boat driven away. He, of course, did not forget to settle the score with this culprit who hampered their leisure tour.

One month. Either you get married or get the hell back to Youzhou.

Chu Zhenghe wanted to cry without tears.

The boat drifted gently on the river. Getting farther and farther away from the bright scene on the other side, they soon returned to the ferry crossing. Chu Zhenghe got off the boat first to look for someone to clean up the mess over there. Holding onto Ye Huaiyang, Chu Jinglan followed behind. Just as they stepped onto the deck, a surge of stormy waves came out of nowhere and shook the boat violently. Chu Jinglan stabilized himself hastily to support Ye Huaiyang, yet she still bumped onto the railing uncontrollably and a sharp pain instantly spread from the back of her waist.

Yanger!

Trembling with terror, Chu Jinglan hugged the delicate slumping body and saw her biting her lower lip tightly under the dim lighting. Looking deathly pale, she was in so much pain that she couldnt even utter a word out. He immediately princess-carried her and used his weightless skill heading towards the shore. Just the brief few dozen meters, the back of his palms were dripping with sweat.

Taiji Palace.

Since Lu Heng had already heard the news, he entered the room to diagnose as soon as they arrived and Chu Jinglan was left pacing anxiously outside the door. When the door finally opened again an hour later, Chu Jinglan rushed over immediately as Lu Heng came out while gathering his sleeves.

How is it?

Lu Heng spoke solemnly, The child is fine, its her waist thats injured.

Appearing stunned, Chu Jinglan grabbed his arm and asked urgently, Is it going to be critical?

Not too good. With his face obscured by the shadow, Lu Heng appeared all the more somber and serious, Her lumbar vertebrae were already somewhat misaligned. The more advanced stage of the pregnancy, the more occasional pain being suppressed by the baby and the impact today critically worsened her condition. Im afraid she will have to stay in bed until the baby is born.

Cant it be treated?

Lu Heng shook his head, Originally it can slowly be treated by using a hard object to rigidly set the waist, but now that she is pregnant, there is no way to fix the thing. I can only use acupuncture and moxibustion to help ease the pain once in a while. She will have to rely on herself to get through it most of the time.

But we cant just let her keep hurting like this is there no other way? Chu Jinglan eagerly pursued the questioning.

There is. Lu Heng raised his eyes to look at him and slowly spat out two words under his anxious gaze, Induce birthing.

Chu Jinglans whole body stiffened and the hand that was gripping his clothes unconsciously loosened.

The bigger the child is, the more intense the pain. The only way to let her suffer less is to use drugs to induce the birthing. There will be no problem with giving birth early since the baby is almost in its ninth month, at most he will be slightly weaker than other children. I will do my best to help nurse his health back. Whether to do so, youve better make a choice as soon as possible.

Lu Hengs words kept echoing in his ears. Chu Jinglan couldnt help but close his eyes, he then lifted his feet to step into the hall after a long time.

Inside was not as chaotic as initially. The glazed palace lantern emitted a calm radiance while the enamel chrysanthemum-pattern furnace on the center of the side table was burning incense for tranquility. The figures by the bedside were vague. Besides Qu Fang and Yueya, there were one or two palace maids coming in occasionally to change the hot water and towels with incessant steps who soon disappeared behind the door.

Once Chu Jinglan lifted the purple silk canopy, he caught sight of the wanly frail person and felt an acutely seizing pain all at once.

She could not lie down nor sit up now, and could only half-lean on the bed with thick soft pillows on her back. Even without any movement, her sweat still kept oozing out, drenching her hair which glued to her cheeks and all the more set off her frailness.

She was still fine when they went out, how could she become like this all of a sudden .

Chu Jinglan was almost overwhelmed by the pain in his chest and in the midst of chaos, he heard Ye Huaiyang calling him softly, Jinglan

Regaining his reverie, he hurriedly sat down on the edge of the bed gripping her slender hand and caressing her small face, he said, Feeling any better?

Ye Huaiyang nodded agreeably and smiled thinly at him, as if nothing had happened that his heart spasmed. He couldnt help but lean over to hug her. With slightly gritted teeth, he squeezed out a sentence, Yanger, just give birth to the baby.

what did you say?

Sensing her movement, Chu Jinglan reached out to hold her head to keep her from seeing his expression and spoke stiffly, The child is almost full-term. There will be no major issue to be born now and you dont have to suffer this kind ot torture anymore

Before the words faltered, he heard Ye Huaiyangs trembling voice, You mean using drugs to expedite childbirth?

Chu Jinglan stiffened and spat out the word that stuck in his throat, Yes.

Ye Huaiyang suddenly pushed him away. The pain in her heart and body instantly stirred up her tears, He is your child! How can you treat him like this?

Yanger, listen to me! Chu Jinglan very carefully grabbed her hands to prevent her from flailing about. His inner panic and guilt had reached its limit at the same time, You are already in such pain now, whats to be done when you are in labor? Listen to me, with Lu Heng here, the baby will be fine!

Youre talking nonsense! How can a premature baby be fine?

Unable to move due to his restraint, Ye Huaiyang became even more emotional and her tears trickled incessantly like torrents of rain. Though it was dripping on the back of his hand, the scalding temperature was burning his heart.

Wiping her tears away, the Adams apple bobbed in his throat several times and Chu Jinglan had difficulty making a sound, It will really be fine, can you believe me?

No! I dont believe it! Violently struggling free from his embrace, Ye Huaiyang inadvertently pulled the waist injury and instantly curled up in pain. Chu Jinglan hugged her hastily and seeing that pair of split red lips from biting, his chest seemed to be tormented by raging fire which was so painful that he suffocated.

Yanger, I really cant watch you suffer so much pain for him. Just listen to me, okay?

Leaning on his shoulder and panting with such unbearable pain, she still managed to grab and place his hand on her bulging belly as she choked up and said, He is so strong and didnt leave me when I jumped off the cliff. You tell me how I am willing to force him out at this moment? I am able to endure this little pain. I just want him to come to this world safely and healthily. You promise me promise me..

She was choking with sobs at the end of her sentence. Her body was exhausted too that she no longer had any strength to argue with him when he wrapped his arms around the delicately limp body. Once he felt the bursts of kicking movements in her belly, seemingly receiving a protest from the child too that his heart eventually could not harden up again.

Dont cry Kissing the side of her forehead, he sighed deeply, I promise you.
