Chapter 221 Life and Death 1 Line
"Crown Princess, something bad has happened!"
Xiao Cui rushed into the inner room in a panic, her forehead covered in sweat. The third lady was reading the memorial and frowned at the sight.
"What's the panic?"
"An urgent report came from the border... the border!" Xiao Cui's voice trembled. "They said that when they raided the aristocratic family's stronghold, they discovered a terrifying plan!"
The Third Young Lady immediately received the report, her expression growing increasingly grim. It turned out that those noble families had not only colluded with the alien races, but had also deployed a large amount of deadly poison along the border! They planned to poison the border at a critical moment, paralyzing the entire border!
"Beast!" The third young lady stood up suddenly, but suddenly felt dizzy.
"Crown Princess, be careful!" Xiao Cui quickly supported her. "You are pregnant now, don't get too excited."
The Third Miss suppressed her anger and asked, "Does His Highness know about this?"
"Not yet," the niece hurried over. "His Highness is arranging the reforms."
"Go inform him." The third young lady was about to give the order when she suddenly felt dizzy again, this time even more severe than before.
"Crown Princess!" everyone exclaimed.
The imperial physician arrived quickly, and after making the diagnosis, his face changed drastically: "Not good, the Crown Princess's pregnancy is a little unstable. She has been overworked recently, and must rest immediately!"
At this moment, Mo Yunchen came hurriedly from outside: "What's wrong?"
"Your Highness..." The third lady wanted to get up, but was held down by Mo Yunchen.
"Don't move," he said softly. "Your health is more important. I already know about the situation at the border and I will handle it."
"But......"
"No buts," Mo Yunchen said firmly, "Your most important task now is to take care of the baby. I'll take care of everything else."
The third young lady wanted to say something, but when she saw the prince's worried look, she nodded.
However, the situation unfolded far beyond expectations. That very night, urgent news arrived from the border: the aliens had launched an attack ahead of schedule! They seemed to have known the defenders' deployment and had directly breached the defenses!
"Damn it!" Mo Yunchen's face turned pale. "It seems that those noble families have leaked all the military information."
The situation was critical, and the prince had to go to the battle himself. Before leaving, he came to the third lady's room.
"Don't worry," Mo Yunchen said softly, "I will be back soon."
The third young lady fought back her tears and said, "You must be safe."
Just as Mo Yunchen was about to depart, shocking news arrived: while searching the family's secret room, they discovered a deeply hidden plan. This wasn't just a simple rebellion; it was clearly an elaborate trap!
"Crown Princess!" The niece rushed into the room. "Oh no! Those noble families are trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain! Their real target is the capital!"
The third lady was shocked: "Go and inform His Highness!"
But it was too late; the prince's troops had already set off. Meanwhile, riots suddenly broke out in the capital! The aristocratic families' loyalists seized the opportunity to stir up trouble, and the situation was about to get out of control.
"Damn it!" The Third Miss gritted her teeth. "They want to cause chaos in the capital to force the prince to return!"
"What should we do now?" Everyone panicked.
The Third Young Lady, holding on to her frail body, said, "Pass the order down and activate the defense of the capital! Also..." A fierce look flashed in her eyes, "Give me my token."
"Crown Princess, what are you doing..."
"Since they want to play, then play with them to the end!" The Third Miss sneered, "Let them know that the Crown Princess is not someone to be trifled with!"
That night, the capital suddenly took action. The imperial guards, already in ambush, launched a thundering attack on the rebels under the command of the Third Young Lady! Those previously arrogant and conceited warriors were immediately thrown into disarray.
"Kill! Don't let any one go!" The third young lady took charge of the command personally.
My niece and cousin also led their own troops and carried out the operation according to the predetermined plan. For a while, the capital was filled with the sound of killing, but soon calm was restored.
When Mo Yunchen hurried back after learning of the changes in the capital, he saw a peaceful and harmonious scene.
"This..." He couldn't believe it. "What on earth happened?"
"Your Highness," the niece said with a smile, "it's the Crown Princess. She anticipated this day and had already made preparations."
It turns out that although the Third Young Lady appeared to be resting and recuperating from her pregnancy, she had actually been secretly making plans. The rebels thought they could succeed, but they had no idea they had already fallen into someone else's trap.
But at this moment, a piece of bad news suddenly came: the Crown Princess was in a coma!
"What?!" Mo Yunchen's face changed drastically and he immediately rushed to the bedroom.
The imperial doctors had already gathered there, all with worried faces: "Although the Crown Princess has quelled the rebellion, she is overworked, and her pregnancy is already unstable..."
"So what's the situation now?" Mo Yunchen was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Your Highness," the imperial physician sighed, "I'm afraid we have to save both the elder and the younger..."
"No!" Mo Yunchen said decisively, "No matter what, mother and child must be safe!"
At this critical moment, someone suddenly delivered something: a medical book found in the family's secret room! This medical book recorded many long-lost life-saving methods, including secret recipes for prenatal and postpartum health!
"Quick! Prepare according to this recipe!"
The imperial doctors worked tirelessly throughout the night, and finally saved the Crown Princess and her unborn baby at the last moment. When the Third Miss weakly opened her eyes, she saw Mo Yunchen's haggard face.
"Your Highness..." she called weakly.
"Silly girl," Mo Yunchen said with red eyes, "You almost scared me to death."
"sorry......"
"Don't say anymore," Mo Yunchen stroked her forehead gently, "You've done a great job. I'm proud to have a princess like you."
The third young lady leaned in his arms and murmured, "I just want to help His Highness share his worries..."
"I know," Mo Yunchen said distressedly, "but you are not allowed to work so hard in the future. The safety of you and your unborn child is more important than anything else."
At this time, news of victory arrived: the foreign tribes on the border had been repelled! It turned out that although the noble families had leaked the information, the Crown Prince had already prepared for it and had a backup plan. Now, not only had the rebellion been quelled, but the border had also been stabilized.
"It's finally over," the third young lady breathed a sigh of relief. "This was really thrilling."
"Yes," Mo Yunchen sighed, "but it also made me understand a truth."
“What’s the reason?”
“Sometimes the most dangerous enemy isn’t the one that comes out in the open, but the one that hides in the shadows.”
The Third Miss nodded: "So we must nip this problem in the bud and not give them any opportunity to take advantage of it."
Mo Yunchen looked at her with relief: "You are speaking more and more like a princess now."
"Of course," the third young lady winked playfully, "I want to be the mother of the country."
Seeing her regain her vitality, Mo Yunchen felt relieved. After this incident, the court not only eliminated the hidden dangers, but also let everyone see the ability of the Crown Princess.
This is what a truly wise ruler and virtuous queen should be!
