Chapter 40
Song Qing did not avoid Emperor Yuan’s gaze . Although his voice was subdued, he was extremely calm: "I have always helped take care of the general’s body . The old general was very busy, and I can be said to have raised her up .

"The last time she sustained injures, I discovered she was pregnant while tending to her wounds . ”
Emperor Yuan's breath caught . Not only did the slightly hostile gaze directed at Song Qi disappear, it was also replaced with some guilt, as if he was a daughter-in-law facing her husband’s parents in helplessness .
Fortunately, Song Qing had only glanced at the emperor . He looked down at Yan Ge lying in Emperor Yuan’s embrace and said softly: "Your Majesty, she has already passed away . "
After a pause, he spoke again: "She would be very happy if she knew you were here . "

Emperor Yuan was listening to his words, but he did not feel complimented at all . In fact, felt more heavy-hearted, as if something was not right .
Pursing his lips, he lifted his chin and spoke as if to himself: "Of course, A Yan is happy . "
He looked at Song Qing condescendingly, and the more he looked, the angrier he felt .
"Your Majesty . " Song Qing lowered his head and spoke slowly: "Your Majesty, the general has no breath . "
"Hurry up and pull out this arrow for her . " Emperor Yuan spoke with dissatisfaction: "Are you not a military physician? This arrow should pose no trouble for you . Hurry up, A Yan has so many injuries, how can you just look on in a daze?”

Having spoken these words, he finally knew why this military physician was not pleasing to the eye . It was because this man was like a wooden stake and did not tend to A Yan’s injuries .
Emperor Yuan frowned . He held Yan Ge with one hand and placed the other hand over her belly . Their baby was there . He wanted to touch it, but all he could touch was the mirror armor .
Yan Ge was covered with flesh wounds and the original skin could not be seen . Only her abdomen seemed intact .
She must be looking forward to this child . She must like their child very much, otherwise she would not have protected her belly this way .

Emperor Yuan saw Song Qing was still not moving, so he lifted his foot and kicked his chest: "Are you deaf? Bandage her wounds . What are you dawdling for?”
"Your Majesty!" After Song Qing was kicked to the ground, he knelt again with a straightened back . His voice was both sorrowful and heartbroken: "Your Majesty, Ming Lan no longer has breath . She has no breath . ”
Emperor Yuan seemed to finally hear his voice . He was so angered that the veins on his forehead protruded and he could not help but burst out in foul language: "Bullshit, A Yan just spoke to me . You’re a charlatan, you charlatan…”
He pointed at Song Qi in anger and was about to call someone to drag this quack doctor to have him beheaded when he stiffened at Song Qi’s tearful expression .
Song Qing’s voice was choked with emotion as he said: "Your Majesty, look at her personally . She truly has no breath . ”
Emperor Yuan's hand tightened over the armor on her abdomen . After a long time, he slowly lowered his head and called out: "A Yan . . . "
His voice caught in his throat .
Her eyes were still wide open and she seemed to be staring at him, but she also seemed to look past him in expectation . She still carried a smile on her face, but that smile mixed with dirt and blood had no brilliance, only hopelessness .
Her eyes were full of blood, and a drop had trailed from the corner of her eye . The color had already turned dark, and the sight rattled the heart .
Her cracked lips were slightly opened, and once more his seem to hear her say, ‘Qi’an, is this another dream?’
