On the very day she was about to give birth, three uninvited guests barged in, and their strength far exceeded that of a ninth-grade martial artist.
"Far beyond the ninth rank?"
"Wouldn't that mean three Grandmasters?"
"Where did so many powerful individuals suddenly come from? And at such a convenient time?"
Ye Qingmei pondered silently, increasingly feeling that something was amiss.
Meanwhile, inside Ye Qingmei's womb, Chen Qingfeng felt tense and uneasy after hearing what Wu Zhu said.
"Three Grandmasters?"
"They must be people from the temple."
"Wu Zhu has been lured away!"
"Next, it will be the Empress and the others who will make their grand entrance!"
Chen Qingfeng muttered to himself, his heart beating faster than ever.
The events unfolded much as he had anticipated.
Just then, someone outside the house shouted loudly:
"Not good!"
"Go away!"
Immediately afterwards, the sound of gongs and drums could be heard.
Before long, flames were raging outside, and the people inside the mansion were thrown into chaos, running around with buckets of water.
Ye Qingmei lay on the bed, her forehead covered in sweat, and the pain in her abdomen was becoming increasingly unbearable.
"Fire?"
She spoke with a hint of doubt, feeling increasingly suspicious.
After waiting for a long time without the arrival of a midwife and servants, Ye Qingmei had no choice but to give birth on her own.
"Ah..."
She screamed at the top of her lungs.
The fire outside was burning brighter and brighter, and the noise was deafening.
Meanwhile, inside Ye Qingmei's abdomen.
With Ye Qingmei's exertion, the unborn child Fan Xian, who was nestled against Chen Qingfeng, was about to be expelled.
Seeing this, Chen Qingfeng could hardly bear it.
With a flick of her foot, she kicked Fan Xian aside.
"so rude!"
"Don't you know who the eldest brother is?"
Then, Chen Qingfeng felt a squeezing and pulling force applied to his body.
Before long, a blinding light shone in front of him.
"We're finally out!"
Chen Qingfeng stared wide-eyed, observing like a curious child.
You can see flames burning outside the house!
Screams could be heard rising and falling.
"Why...why isn't this child crying?"
Ye Qingmei glanced at Chen Qingfeng, a doubt creeping into her heart.
Before she could think any further, she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen, as if it were being stabbed by a thousand hot, sharp knives.
"what!"
She couldn't help but cry out in pain.
Her face turned from red to white, and the water droplets under her eyes were indistinguishable between tears and sweat. She gripped the sheets tightly with both hands, her palms were covered in sweat, and her whole body was trembling.
Fortunately, after a period of excruciating pain, Fan Xian was finally born safely.
"Wow……"
As soon as he came out, Fan Xian couldn't stop crying loudly.
Chen Qingfeng, on the other hand, was quite unusual. He didn't cry or make a fuss at all, but stared at Ye Qingmei with wide eyes.
Despite having just gone through the pain of childbirth, Ye Qingmei's beautiful face was still undeniable.
Her beauty was unparalleled; her eyebrows were like crescent moons, and her eyes were as clear as lake water, radiating wisdom.
"She is Ye Qingmei! My mother in this life!"
Chen Qingfeng sighed inwardly, his lips moving as if he wanted to say something.
Unfortunately, he was just a newborn baby and couldn't speak. After much effort, he could only manage some babbling.
Next, Ye Qingmei, despite her weakness from childbirth, cleaned and tidied the two children, then wrapped them in the cotton quilts that had been prepared beforehand.
Meanwhile, the fire outside was still spreading.
Taking advantage of the fire, a group of men in black also stormed in.
Men, women, and children in the courtyard all perished in the attack.
The sounds of battle shook the heavens!
Blood flowed everywhere!
Gradually, the sound faded away, and only the crackling sound of the fire burning outside could be heard.
Ye Qingmei was extremely weak, holding Chen Qingfeng and Fan Xian in each of her arms.
She wasn't stupid; she could naturally guess it.
Whether it was Wu Zhu being lured away or this fire, it was probably all done intentionally.
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the quiet house.
The firelight revealed that the house was surrounded by people.
Then, the sound of a door being pushed open was heard.
Upon closer inspection, a woman with a light veil covering her face was the first to enter the room.
Behind the woman followed a number of people, gripping swords and knives tightly, their eyes filled with chilling killing intent.
The woman approached and glanced at Ye Qingmei.
At this moment, Ye Qingmei looked tired and weak because she had just given birth.
Her wet hair clung haphazardly to her forehead, and her eyebrows were furrowed.
His nostrils flared as he breathed rapidly.
Just as the woman was examining the novel, Ye Qingmei frowned slightly and coldly said:
"It's you!"
"It's not like I don't recognize you, why would I need to cover my face with a veil?"
Upon seeing the woman, Ye Qingmei recognized her immediately; who else could she be but the Empress?
"Humph!"
The Empress gave a cold sneer and spoke in a soft, chilling voice:
"Ye Qingmei!"
"You never thought you'd end up like this, did you?"
Chapter Five: Tragedy – Ye Qingmei Commits Suicide! Eliminating the Roots?
Ye Qingmei breathed weakly, her cold eyes fixed on the Empress.
She knew it very well.
Given the situation tonight, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape this fate.
Wu Zhu was lured away.
Fan Jian went on a military expedition with Emperor Qing.
Chen Pingping went to the north to deal with the emergency.
There was no one left to protect her.
After a moment's thought, Ye Qingmei resolved to die.
Knowing that the Empress harbored such jealousy and hatred towards her, it was absolutely impossible for her to live in this world.
The only thing that worried Ye Qingmei was her newborn twin sons.
"I can die."
"But my child..."
Thinking of her child, a tender look immediately appeared in Ye Qingmei's eyes.
The empress harbored resentment towards her.
We will definitely eliminate them completely.
It doesn't matter if I die, but what about the children?
Just as Ye Qingmei was lost in thought, the Empress gave a cold smile and said again:
"how?"
"Don't you have anything to say when you're about to die?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingmei regained her composure, glanced at the Empress, and then asked, "Why?"
"Hahaha!"
