Chapter 1447: Chapter 1454: Pregnant (1)

Thick white snow, like a massive woolen blanket, covered everything between heaven and earth. As far as the eye could see, everything was shrouded in a white haze, shimmering with cold, silver light. The biting cold wind, mixed with swirling snowflakes, occasionally blinded people. Such ghostly weather had driven all pedestrians from the roads, and no birds or beasts could be seen.

In the bitterly cold northern land, one word embodies the sensation: cold. Even the sun seems to fear the cold, emitting only a dim red light, unable to radiate any warmth, making people’s breath turn into puffs of white smoke; even a sneeze would freeze into a mist of ice.

Cai Wei was lying in a luxurious horse carriage, covered with a thick cotton quilt, sound asleep.

This marked the fifty-eighth day since her abduction. Over these fifty-eight days, she had been on the move, led by Master Lei Da, who seemed eager to report back to Liaodan, constantly rushing. In just a few dozen days, they had hurried from the Capital of Xianbei to Liaodan’s Prosperous Capital.

Along the way, Cai Wei had thought of many ways to escape, but all had failed. These people monitored her closely no matter the time of day, even while eating, drinking, or sleeping. What’s more, each of them possessed extraordinary martial arts, being the most elite guards of Great Khan Saknu, leaving her utterly powerless to resist alone.

She didn’t know what magic skills Master Lei Da had used, but her Space had been sealed. Whether it was the distress from being abducted, the strain of constant travel, or a spell cast upon her, she had become increasingly sleepy lately, neglecting even thoughts of escape. All she wanted every day aside from eating and drinking was to sleep, sleep…

Initially, she still had the energy to probe Master Lei Da for information about how he had sealed her Space, but Lei Da was clever enough to skillfully dodge her inquiries. Later, she just focused on sleeping.

Throughout the journey, Master Lei Da and his subordinates treated her with utmost deference, aware that she was the beloved woman of the Great Khan and the only woman he truly cared about in recent years. Thus, he dared not offend her, fearing future retribution, and could only serve her carefully.

Right now, their sole mission was to bring the Great Khan’s beloved woman before him, which would complete their task!

The team entered Liaodan’s Prosperous Capital. The weather in Liaodan was cold, with no street vendors or merchants to be found, and even the few pedestrians on the streets were wrapped in thick fur coats, hunched over and hurrying along.

Cai Wei did not wake up, still sleeping soundly; unaware that thousands of miles away in the Great Jin Palace, chaos had already ensued.

Since the night she left, never to return, Nangong Yi, the Emperor of Jin, had gone from initial restlessness to now raging furiously, frightening everyone in the palace.

The court had seen a lazily charming Emperor, a dignified Emperor full of justice, and an approachable, refined Emperor. Yet, they had never seen an Emperor so explosively furious, roaring like a lion.

These days, describing the Emperor as merciless was no exaggeration.

Every servant in the Royal Study was extremely cautious. A Young Eunuch accidentally broke a teacup and was beaten with forty strokes of the cane. The Empress Dowager’s two stunningly beautiful courtesans, sent to wait upon him, were dragged out by imperial decree and clubbed to death on the spot. Those two alluring beauties screamed pitifully as they turned into mangled corpses of blood and flesh, a gruesome sight.

They also witnessed the Emperor suddenly going mad, smashing everything in the Royal Study….
