Yan Ye's killing intent was too obvious. Even though the two were still separated by a distance, Ye Jingde could still clearly feel the killing intent that came from Yan Ye.

According to the normal circumstances, Ye Jingde should be escorted by his trusted aides to leave this place as soon as possible. Yet, he was also a madman.

When he saw Yan Ye walking towards him with his sword in hand, not only was he not afraid, he was also excited, wanting to break free from his heart, and rush forward to fight with Yan Ye.

Others might not know about Yan Ye's capabilities, but as Ye Jingde's trusted aide, despite helping him gather information and training troops for so many years, he knew how powerful Yan Ye was.

Sensing Ye Jingde's madness, he immediately pulled on Ye Jingde's arm and quickly said: "Master, you still have a chance. We should quickly leave."

His trusted aide knew about Ye Jingde's problem, so he didn't say anything about 'you're not as good as him'. He just wanted to tell Ye Jingde that he still had a chance.

Today, as long as they successfully left this place, they would still have a chance.

Does the crazed Ye Jingde not know of this logic?

No, he knew!

But so what?

He didn't want to leave here, at least not now.

"Get out of the way." Ye Jingde's eyes were still on Yan Ye, who was about to reach in front of him, but he spoke to his trusted aide who was blocking his path.

When his trusted aide heard Ye Jingde's words, he was stunned for a moment. He still wanted to say something, but Ye Jingde had already broken free from him, pulled out his sword and waved it towards Yan Ye.

Would Yan Ye be afraid of him?

He had been training in the martial arts world for many years. When something happened in the Crown Prince's Palace and he recovered from his injuries, besides the Elder Sun, he had also trained to keep his father's trusted aides close to him.

Back then, Yan Ye thought about it simply, one day, when he returned to the capital, he would behead his enemy!

After that, he gradually grew up, and because he was taught by the Elder Sun, Yan Ye slowly changed his mind at the beginning.

He changed his mind, but he did not abandon his habit of practicing martial arts.

When Ye Jingde's sword swung over, not only did he not dodge, he welcomed it.

The moment Yan Ye and Ye Jingde met, all the Iron Eagle Brigade Soldiers and guards who followed behind Yan Ye and were certain of one thing.

Ye Jingde was not Yan Ye's match.

Since that was the case, they should take advantage of this situation to kill more of Ye Jingde's men. They should prevent them from attacking together and delay Yan Ye from venting his anger.

Yan Ye was truly venting his anger, he could obviously kill Ye Jingde with just two or three strikes, but every time he swung his sword, a wound would be left on Ye Jingde's body, and it would not truly be fatal.

Slash after slash, Yan Ye felt that the sword strike he swung out, was a wound on his heart.

But what Yan Ye did not know was that, as he continued to swing his sword time and time again, due to the pain on his body, Ye Jingde was slowly stimulated to the point that he became more and more excited.

The people who came with Ye Jingde fell to the ground one by one. After all, the soldiers of the Iron Eagle Brigade were all experts that could fight one against ten, and Ye Jingde's trusted aides became more and more anxious as they saw the wounds on Ye Jingde's body grow more and more.

He moved to the side, and after dodging one of the Iron Eagle Brigade Soldiers' attacks, he immediately ordered the remaining subordinate: "Protect Master and leave!"

Just as his trusted aides finished speaking, a few men who were closest to them wanted to escape from their opponents even though they were injured, and quickly ran to Ye Jingde's side.

But their actions, enraged Ye Jingde.

"You don't need to care, back down!" Saying that, Ye Jingde swung his sword towards Yan Ye.

Seeing that Ye Jingde was not knowing his own strength and was brandishing the sword towards him, Yan Ye sneered, then directly threw out a heavy sword at his abdomen.

After Yan Ye's sword pierced down, Ye Jingde's underlings could no longer care about Ye Jingde blocking them, they struggled to take a step forward, supporting Ye Jingde, they immediately raised the blade in their hands and slashed at Yan Ye.

Yan Ye could only use his sword to block, but when he blocked the attack, Ye Jingde's trusted aide had already pulled Ye Jingde back a few steps.

"Use all your strength to protect master and leave!" His trusted aide could feel that Ye Jingde's current situation was abnormal, so he directly threw aside what Ye Jingde had said before and ordered his subordinates to protect Ye Jingde and leave.

The moment he finished speaking, Yan Ye suddenly looked at him and laughed: "Do you think you can leave today?"

After saying that, as if he did not see the look in Ye Jingde's eyes, he pointed his sword at them and ordered: "Don't leave a single one alive!"

As Yan Ye's words fell, the Iron Eagle Brigade soldiers who were originally capable of fighting against ten people, as if they had not displayed their full strengths just now, immediately increased their combat strength once again.

As for the original guards of the Yan Ye family, although their strength was not as good as the soldiers of the Iron Eagle Brigade, they were still on par with the people that Ye Jingde had brought.

On the other hand, Yan Ye did not care about anyone else.

The strength of Ye Jingde's trusted aides should originally be around the same as Yan Ye's, but he was still supporting Ye Jingde, so how could they be his match?

The outcome of this battle was obvious.

Right at the moment when Yan Ye had finished, in the backyard of the Hu Esteemed Empress Dowager's courtyard, Xu Yanzhu also gave birth to a thin and weak child amidst a painful cry.

The child was really small, red, and pitifully small in crying.

However, the two doctors both said that as long as the child was taken care of carefully, he would be able to grow up safely.

"Miss, it's a daughter." Cui Hua carried the midwife to wash the children and passed them over to Xu Yanzhu.

Xu Yanzhu's mouth was filled with small pieces of fruit, and there were a lot of silver needles sticking out of her body. She didn't have the strength to speak up now, she only looked at the child in Cui Hua's embrace with a gentle expression.

She looked at the child for a while, and finally, with great effort, she took out the jade pendant she wore on her body and gently placed it on the package wrapped around the child.

Cui Hua endured her tears and said with trembling lips: "Don't worry Miss, this servant will take care of her as she grows up."

Cui Hua spoke sincerely, but when Xu Yanzhu heard her, she shook her head. She opened her mouth and did not make a sound, but only two words came out clearly.

'Brother Yan '

After understanding the meaning of her own First Miss, Cui Hua hurriedly nodded her head: "This servant will let them go find Young Master."

Just as Cui Hua finished speaking, Yan Ye's voice came out from outside the door, "No need to look, I'm here." With that said, Yan Ye, who was covered in blood, walked in with large strides before he could even wash up.

Yan Ye didn't seem to see the child in Cui Hua's embrace, as he directly walked to Xu Yanzhu's side and grabbed her hand.

Xu Yanzhu understood Yan Ye, so after seeing him in such a state, she sighed lightly.

Hearing Xu Yanzhu's sigh, Yan Ye was just about to speak, but who knew that Xu Yanzhu, who was originally spiritless, would now look at him spiritedly and say: "Brother Yan, you have to take good care of us, our daughter. Promise me, okay? "

Looking at Xu Yanzhu who had suddenly gained strength, Yan Ye's brain felt like it had been struck by a person, the pain was so intense that he was not willing to speak.

He wanted to shake his head, wanted to tell Xu Yanzhu that he wouldn't be able to live without her.

But when he saw Xu Yanzhu's gaze fall on him, he couldn't open his mouth to speak.

"Brother Yan, I love you, so I love our child. Don't you love me?"

Xu Yanzhu looked at Yan Ye and blinked her eyes playfully, just like when they just met each other. The charming little girl, who was also playfully blinking her eyes at Ye Yan who pretended to be an adult.

Yan Ye wanted to say something, but under Xu Yanzhu's attentive gaze, he could only nod his head in the end, "I will take care of our child as she grew up. According to grandmother, she is a daughter. I'll give her a name, rattan, okay? "

"Alright." Xu Yanzhu could feel the energy in her body draining, she looked at Yan Ye, then looked at Cui Hua and said: "Tell Third Aunt, Yanzhu, no regrets."

After saying that, Xu Yanzhu's gaze landed on the bundle in Cui Hua's arms.

Looking at her daughter, Xu Yanzhu slowly lost all of her strength. Then, she smiled and closed her eyes.

Just as Xu Yanzhu closed her eyes, Yan Ye suddenly roared out, "Jewel!" And following Yan Ye's shout, the originally well-behaved rattan that was in Cui Hua's embrace, suddenly started to cry as well.

Outside the room, Empress Dowager Hu was being supported on both sides by both Mama Hu and Mama Su. At this moment, she too closed her eyes.

Empress Dowager Hu, who hadn't shed a tear for many years, finally had her face wet again today.

Capital, Xu Family

Dong Shu suddenly panicked. She looked at the porcelain cup that she had knocked down just a moment ago, and ignoring the burn where the bird's nest had landed on the back of her hand, she covered her heart.

Why did he panic?

Dong Shu didn't know what was wrong with her, she wanted to say something, but because she suddenly knocked over the porcelain cup just now, the few servants by her side quickly checked her wounds.

Sensing their movements, Dong Shu opened her mouth, and suddenly asked: "Has there been any news from Cui Hua's side recently?"

Upon hearing Dong Shu's question, Ling Xiang, who was in charge of this matter, immediately stopped her movements and replied: "Not yet." After she finished speaking, Ling Xiang paused for a moment before continuing, "However, I think it should be soon. There will definitely be some news coming over in the next few days."

Hearing Ling Xiang's words, not only did Dong Shu not suppress the panic in his heart, she felt even worse in his heart.

The servants were unable to do so and could only send a message to Xu Shiqiu who was not at home.

When Xu Shiqiu returned, Dong Shu was lying on the bed. Facing the exquisite food sent by the kitchen, she had no appetite.

"I heard they said you were not well. What happened?" As Xu Shiqiu spoke, he quickly walked to Dong Shu's side and wanted to touch her forehead.

But the moment his hand was about to reach out, Dong Shu held his hand.

"Husband, I'm worried."

When Dong Shu said this, she raised her eyebrows in surprise.

This was the first time that such a situation had occurred in his Young Girl. He was panicking, why would he be panicking?

He wanted to ask her what was going on, but the Dong Shu in his heart was unwilling to speak.

Dong Shu did not dare say anything, because just now when she was panicking, she felt as if Xu Yanzhu was saying something to her, and another thing she heard was Yan Ye's heart-wrenching cry.

Xu Shiqiu didn't know what was going on with Dong Shu, but he understood that the Young Girl was hiding something from him.

Dong Shu kept this a secret for a few days straight until Ye Shuo and Xu Yanhao sent messages to their respective desks.

Looking at the few words on the slip of paper, Xu Shiqiu suppressed the sadness in his heart. After simply calculating it, he remembered the unwell days in Young Girl.

Thinking that her brother-in-law mentioned today, wanting to arrange for her to be promoted to a new official, Xu Shiqiu, who was originally planning to fight for her, suddenly had another idea.

How about authority? So what if you have a heavy soldier?

All he wanted was to meet with the person he loved.
