Chapter 790: Rescue!
Chapter 790: Rescue!
"Ah?"
You’er listened to their conversation and felt confused, looking at Li Qingmu.
Li Qingmu shook his head, signaling not to make a sound, and quickly followed the couple.
After the couple entered the room, sure enough, there was a secret door inside. The man lightly tapped the center of an old table, and with a "click," a small opening appeared behind the door.
The opening wasn’t large, allowing only one person to bend and enter.
"Wonder how that woman is doing, really annoying, hurry up and give birth, once she does, we can kill her, no need to see her anymore."
The woman’s tone was harsh, and Li Qingmu’s eyes turned cold as he listened from behind.
Previously, he had thought of just knocking them out and taking their place, but now it seemed better to eliminate them!
"Enough, that woman is still useful to the master, what are you thinking?"
The man touched his nose and said.
"Tap-tap-tap!"
The passage below had stone steps that emitted a crisp sound when someone walked on them. Li Qingmu looked at those steps and frowned slightly.
Is this to prevent anyone from following? Is that why they made it this way?
He thought briefly, then instructed You’er to wait outside while he went in.
On the stone floor, others would make noise entering, but not him, so he silently followed inside.
In the underground chamber, Long Yue was resting when she suddenly heard voices from outside and looked up to see the visitors were not Yan Dan, but two other people.
Long Yue didn’t know these two, but she wasn’t worried, as they wouldn’t harm her presently.
Besides, even if they intended to act against her, worrying wouldn’t help.
"Tsk tsk, the Princess Consort Mu is trapped, yet still has the composure to rest. Such mental fortitude is truly admirable!"
The woman covered her mouth and giggled, looking pleased, as if seeing others’ misery brought her comfort.
Long Yue slowly opened her eyes and observed the newcomers. They were completely unfamiliar to her, unknown identities.
During her short stay, she had already seen many faces, but except for Yan Dan, she recognized none.
She had no idea where she was or why there were so many strangers.
The woman approached Long Yue, slightly bending to look at her, "Tsk tsk, such a beautiful lady, but unfortunately, I hate beauties the most because there shouldn’t be anyone prettier than me!"
Saying this, a malicious expression appeared in the woman’s eyes.
Long Yue looked back at her without fear and suddenly said, "You called me the Princess Consort Mu, do you know me well?"
"Know you well?" The woman laughed, casting a mocking glance at her, "Why do I need to know you well? Do you really think you’re someone important?"
"Oh, right! You must be from Tianxing Pavilion, maybe, or connected to it. People like you wouldn’t care about us ordinary folks."
Long Yue nodded slightly, speaking earnestly.
Of course, her inquiry wasn’t to really engage in casual conversation but to extract information.
This person only knew she was the Princess Consort Mu, but perhaps not her previous appearance?
If so, does this mean as long as she returns to her original appearance, she might find a chance to escape?
A glimmer of hope flashed in Long Yue’s eyes, and her expression remained calm.
The woman seemed satisfied with Long Yue’s response, slightly nodding, "Yes, we’re from Tianxing Pavilion, but we admire You Su, and follow him as our master..."
At this point, the woman felt she had said too much and shook her head gently, "Forget it, you won’t understand even if I tell you. Anyway, let me introduce myself. I’m your midwife, responsible for your childbirth when the time comes!"
Long Yue’s pupils shrank suddenly!
Joking aside, this woman coming to deliver her child? She harbors animosity, and if she assists in childbirth, it spells doom for both her and the baby!
Seeing the horror and doubt in Long Yue’s eyes, the woman chuckled, "Don’t worry, I’ll deliver your baby well, as for you... well, as a mother, all you need is for your child to be safe, don’t dwell on other things!"
Instantly, Long Yue understood. This woman intended to kill her and then extract the baby?
"Enough, why waste time talking with her? Hurry and get the baby out, she’s about to give birth soon!"
The man, growing impatient, grumbled about the woman’s incessant talking.
The woman pouted, "It’s too early! I believe she needs another two days. The master said only ripe fruits are good; forcibly extracted ones lack Spiritual Energy. The child in her womb is filled with Spiritual Energy and deserves careful handling, no waste."
Listening to their words, Long Yue felt her scalp prickling.
Without any need for thought, she knew these people wouldn’t treat her child kindly and even intended to do unspeakable things.
This would harm the child and possibly kill her!
No, absolutely not!
She must escape from here!
At this moment, Long Yue’s desire to leave was overwhelming!
As anxiety filled her heart, suddenly, she saw a tall figure at the entrance of the passage.
The figure... even as ashes, she would recognize!
A Mu!
Her husband, her man, he... he actually came?
In her joyous heart, Long Yue knew what to do next.
Divert their attention to make it easier for Li Qingmu to rescue her.
Thinking of this, Long Yue displayed a fearful expression and subconsciously shrank back, "You... what do you mean?"
Seeing Long Yue’s frightened expression delighted the woman, who chuckled softly, "What do I mean? You tell me. We’re determined on taking your child; she has great value!"
Long Yue was instantly enraged, her body trembling, pointing at the woman with a quivering voice, "You... you all... intend to harm my child? No, I won’t let you succeed, I’d rather die than let you use my child for something so heinous!"
After saying this, Long Yue hurriedly grabbed a pillow nearby and hurled it at the woman.
"Haha, foolish woman!"
The woman easily caught the pillow, pouted in disdain, and was about to throw it back at Long Yue, when suddenly!
She felt a chill at her neck and before she could react, she realized she couldn’t speak.
"Zhu Zhu?"
The man noticed the woman’s sudden silence and quickly turned around, only to see a line of blood appear on her neck!
The blood line swiftly spread, and the woman collapsed, as if her bones were removed.
The man rushed to check on her, only to feel a coldness on his own neck, then his consciousness gradually blurred.
As he fell, he saw a tall figure slowly approaching, with eyes cold enough to chill one’s spine!
