To find clues in southern Xinjiang was what the Mo Family men were supposed to do, but he was so incompetent that he could only bring his delicate wife on this trip.
Mo Jiuye felt more and more guilty the more he thought about it. He went up and gently helped He Zhiran smooth her back.
"Ranran, this trip to southern Xinjiang has really tired you out. We'll arrange to leave here as soon as it's light."
He Zhiran was extremely uncomfortable at the moment and had no way to respond to his words.
After vomiting a large pile of gastric acid, she finally felt a little better and slowly stood up.
Mo Jiuye hurried up to support her and thoughtfully handed her a cup of clear water.
"Ranran, I'll take you to the city to see the imperial physician when it's light." Mo Jiuye knew the saying that doctors don't heal themselves. He Zhiran probably thought the same.
He Zhiran shook her head: "I'm fine, I can check it myself."
After she finished speaking, she had already been helped by Mo Jiuye to sit on a chair in the dining room. Then she placed several fingers on her wrist pulse.
This check was unexpected. He Zhiran was stunned herself.
She had originally thought it was gastroenteritis caused by the unfamiliar environment in southern Xinjiang. Unexpectedly...
She was pregnant!
Moreover, judging from the pulse and time, it should be almost two months.
At this moment, He Zhiran didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The Mo Family had been hoping for the next generation, but this child had chosen this time to come.
They were currently in southern Xinjiang and would take the opportunity to leave soon.
It was not easy to bring along Sixth Elder Brother, Seventh Elder Brother and the two maids of Fourth Princess. Now she was also pregnant.
There was also the matter of July. It has now been confirmed that the person who persecuted the Mo Family men was Mr. Si Meng. He would go to the Western Border in July.
This might be the only chance to rescue Grandfather and Eldest and Second Elder Brothers.
Mr. Si Meng was a master of Gu techniques (poison techniques). To rescue people from his hands, she needed to know how to surgically remove Gu herself.
By then, she would probably have already given birth. How could she help Mo Jiuye rescue them?
The more He Zhiran thought about it, the more her head hurt. For a moment, she actually forgot to tell Mo Jiuye about this news.
Seeing her frowning expression, Mo Jiuye thought something serious had happened to her body.
He went up and grabbed his wife's hand with obvious anxiety in his tone that could not be faked.
"Ranran, what's wrong with you? Let's go out now and I'll take you to see an imperial physician."
Seeing his changed expression, He Zhiran hurriedly said, "I should be pregnant."
"What? Ranran, you're pregnant?" The worry in Mo Jiuye's eyes was instantly replaced by a flash of light.
Heaven knew how happy he was.
After becoming intimate with Ranran, he had been looking forward to them having the fruit of their love soon.
Now Ranran told him that there was already their child in her belly, and Mo Jiuye was happily stunned on the spot for a while.
Seeing his lack of reaction, He Zhiran thought that he, like her, felt that this little life had come at the wrong time.
"I didn't expect him to choose this time either. Anyway, I will try my best to protect him well."
Hearing his wife say this, Mo Jiuye finally regained his composure.
"Ranran, this is our child. Protecting him is my responsibility as his father. Don't worry, we'll figure out a way to leave southern Xinjiang today and go back home. You just focus on nurturing the fetus well."
The attentive He Zhiran noticed that when Mo Jiuye said these things, he stuttered a bit, apparently very nervous. He probably hadn't prepared to be a parent yet like her.
"The child did come a little suddenly, but don't worry. I will definitely help bring Father and Eldest and Second Brother back safely."
Hearing his wife say this, Mo Jiuye felt that she must have misunderstood something.
"No no no, your body is the priority now. The matter of rescuing my father and brothers will be handled by me and the other elder brothers. You just stay in Xi Ling Village and focus on nurturing the fetus when you go back."
His father and brothers were important, and so was his and Ranran's child. This kind of thing was originally something they men should undertake. Now getting his pregnant wife involved made Mo Jiuye feel very sorry. He should not let his pregnant wife take risks in the future.
Mo Jiuye's nervous emotions were very obvious. He Zhiran didn't want him to be too nervous and comforted:
"Don't worry, I'm not that delicate."
"No, you've already suffered a lot following me. Now that you're carrying our child, I must protect you well as your husband."
He Zhiran knew that her previous life in the army had made her not have the temperament of a little woman. Now that she had a man who doted on her, she should pretend to be more delicate. People always said that women who were too strong had no blessings.
"Alright, I'll listen to you."
Mo Jiuye felt a warmth in his heart. He hugged his delicate and gentle wife into his arms and gently patted her back.
"Let's try to set off back northwest today."
"Okay." He Zhiran agreed with a sound and got up to go to the operating room to check on Sixth Elder Brother's situation: "Sixth Elder Brother will wake up soon. After we've dealt with the Emperor of Southern Xinjiang, let's go out."
Originally, Mo Jiuye was still planning to torture the Emperor of Southern Xinjiang severely. The grievances in his heart for what he had done to the Mo Family could not be resolved even if he was skinned alive.
One reason now was that he was in a hurry to leave here and didn't have too much time to torture him. Another reason was that his wife was pregnant with his child, so he wanted to accumulate more blessings for his child and didn't plan to use those bloody methods.
So Mo Jiuye went to the front of the Emperor of Southern Xinjiang and broke his neck with a strong twist, while he looked on in horror.
Although he didn't torture the Emperor of Southern Xinjiang, he didn't intend to let him go just like that either.
Although the severed heads hung at the city gate back then were not really the Mo Family men, the Emperor of Southern Xinjiang was unaware. He deliberately hung the Mo Family men's heads at the city gate to make an example. This humiliation had to be avenged.
Therefore, when the two of them left the space, Mo Jiuye did not take the corpse of the Emperor of Southern Xinjiang out with them.
He carefully supported He Zhiran over the courtyard wall, preparing to bring Sixth Elder Brother in through the main entrance. This would make Sixth Elder Brother's appearance perfectly reasonable.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they walked out of the transfer station, they saw Shun Zi leading three officers and gesturing about something as they walked.
Seeing that the officers were holding drawings of Lan Er and Yu Er in their hands while Shun Zi pointed to their location.
"This is bad, Shun Zi has led the officers here," He Zhiran said. Before she finished speaking, she had already taken out two repeating crossbows from the space.
Mo Jiuye took over the repeating crossbow. The two of them shot at the soldiers at the same time.
The three soldiers all fell down dead, while only Shun Zi was left with eyes and mouth wide open in shock.
Mo Jiuye pulled He Zhiran to Shun Zi with anger and disappointment written all over his face.
They never expected that the servant they had bought would try to sell them out so quickly.
Seeing them, Shun Zi's body shuddered instinctively. He immediately knelt down and kept kowtowing while making vague sounds from his mouth.
