1797: Incredibly Anxious

Incredibly Anxious

Gazing at Yun Bixue's serious expression, Yun Dong thought for a moment and replied, "Miss, I don't think so."2

Yun Bixue shook her head hard. She had a feeling that something was amiss.

After some time, light seemed to flash across her mind. She said, "Yun Dong, you've been keeping an eye on Xiajun Yanwu. You sure nothing is wrong with her?"

Yun Dong shook her head. "Ever since she was discharged I haven't seen her come out. There shouldn't be any problem with her for the time being."

"Not even once?"

Yun Dong nodded.

Yun Bixue pondered a moment, then suddenly got to her feet. "Yun Dong, I suspect there's something wrong with Xiajun Yanwu. It's impossible for her not to come out at all and take no action. Either she's plotting something, or the person at the princess's residence is not the princess herself."

Yun Dong paused in shock. "Could she have found a substitute and is actually plotting something outside right now?"

Yun Bixue slapped on the desk. "That's right. The only possibility is she's deploying the military forces!"

An astonished Yun Dong widened her mouth in disbelief. "Why is she deploying the troops at a time like this?"

Yun Bixue gritted her teeth and said, "Something's about to happen in the imperial capital. Yun Dong, make arrangements quick. I'm calling Xie Limo now."

But when Yun Bixue called Xie Limo, she couldn't get through to him.

This made her anxious.

She called Xie Liu, but also couldn't get through to him. Yun Bixue understood now that Xie Limo and Xie Liu must be inside the palace, and the signal in the palace had been cut off from outside.

Yun Bixue immediately called Xie Wu and told him of her speculation, so the latter could make preparations. After that, she arranged for the Yun family's men of sacrifice to take action. If they found Xiajun Yanwu, they must stop her from deploying the troops.

Yun Bixue paced about at home, distracted in her thoughts. If she weren't so heavily pregnant, she would definitely make the arrangements herself. But for her own safety, she couldn't leave the house.

By the time all the arrangements were put in place, it was already afternoon. A strong wind started blowing outside, and the skies darkened. It seemed like it was about to rain soon.

Yun Bixue gritted her teeth. If her guess was accurate, Xiajun Yanwu would be making her move on a rainy night because it's easiest to hide all evidence.

Seems like things were about to change in the imperial capital.

As if sensing Yun Bixue's feelings, the baby in her tummy started kicking.

Yun Bixue could only sit down and caress her tummy, to calm down her vexed emotions.

Although she tried hard to calm down, Yun Bixue still felt incredibly anxious. With the sounds of the rain and wind outside, she was unable to calm down for a long time.

"Young Madam, you didn't eat lunch. Do have some soup!"

Yun Bixue frowned. She hadn't wanted to eat anything, but she thought of the kicking baby in her tummy and realized that she was perhaps hungry. Hence, she forced herself to drink a bowl of soup.

Just as the rain was getting heavier, Yun Bixue's phone rang. She looked at the screen and saw that it was an unknown number. But somehow, hearing this sound, her heart started pounding wildly in unease.

"Hello!"

"Yun Bixue, it's me!"

It was Xiajun Yanwu's voice. A dangerous glint flashed across Yun Bixue's eyes. "It's you? Why are you calling?"

Xiajun Yanwu replied gloatingly, "I'm calling to tell you that he who understands the times is a wise man. You won't be able to win against me. If you take the initiative to leave Xie Limo, nothing will happen to him tonight. If you're greedy, however, something will happen to your Xie Limo."

Yun Bixue's heart pounded. "Are you mad? You like him, don't you? Why are you hurting him?"
