It was also good that Gu didn't enter the Medicine Requesting Cave!
Han Yunxi glanced at him but didn't say anything. She only acted as if she didn't understand anything. She only knew that no matter what, they were not in the wrong on this trip to the Medicine Hut! Even if they really had to make a move, they had to bring back the Dragon Pill.
On the same day, Han Yunxi's group left Qingchuan Water City and secretly headed in the direction of Medicine City. Gu didn't say anything and led the way on horseback as usual. Moreover, he specially chose a shortcut from Qingchuan Water City to Medicine City. It only took a little more than ten days.
Along the way, Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye were still very busy. Almost every day, they received letters from different places that required their attention. Every night, no matter how busy they were, they would still take time out to dual cultivate. Baili Mingxiang also didn't idle around. He practiced martial arts seriously and often sought out Xu Donglin for guidance.
Gu didn't care about anything else. He was only responsible for inquiring about the Fire of Ten-Thousand Poisons.
They headed northwest. Time was like the axle of a carriage, constantly moving day and night.
At this time, Ning Jing's belly was almost seven months old. No matter how loose her clothes were, they couldn't hide it.
When she was five or six months pregnant, it didn't seem to be that big. However, when she was seven months pregnant, her belly suddenly swelled up like a balloon. Ning Jing clearly felt that it was becoming more and more inconvenient for her to move around. She also found it harder and harder to sleep at night.
The maids and guards in the courtyard were all Bai Yuqiao's people. Whatever Ning Jing needed, she could use Mu Ling 'er as an excuse to send it in. Now, it seemed that everything was still relatively safe.
In Tiger's Prison, Su Xiaoyu lived in the small courtyard. Ning Jing, Mu Ling 'er, and Deacon Jin lived in the large courtyard.
Mu Ling 'er had once asked Bai Yuqiao to arrange for Su Xiaoyu to live in the large courtyard and drive Deacon Jin and Uncle Cheng to the small courtyard. After all, it was inconvenient for men and women to live together. Moreover, Ning Jing's pregnancy had always been hidden from Deacon Jin and Uncle Cheng. However, Bai Yuqiao didn't agree.
Although most of the things in Tiger's Prison were arranged by her, she still had to guard against Jun Yi Xie's suspicions. She knew how suspicious Jun Yi Xie was more than anyone else.
It was actually not easy to hide Ning Jing's pregnancy until now! Ning Jing still needed three months to give birth. If everything went well, Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye would come to save people in about a month and a half, according to Ning Cheng's promise before. With her cooperation from the inside and Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi's ability, it was not difficult to save a few people from Tiger's Prison.
Bai Yuqiao was most afraid that Ning Jing would give birth prematurely. When the child was in the belly, everything was easy to hide. However, once the child was born, Jun Yi Xie would definitely send people to take the child away. At that time, it would be troublesome.
In addition to taking care of Ning Jing and the others, Bai Yuqiao went to the small courtyard to see Su Xiaoyu every day. Her attitude towards Su Xiaoyu was still the same as before. She threatened and panicked from time to time, but she never really did anything to her. No one knew how much she was afraid that Su Xiaoyu would know the truth. Su Xiaoyu didn't understand anything. She only thought that Ning Cheng was protecting her.
Bai Yuqiao took care of everyone in Tiger's Prison, but she also paid attention to the situation of Northern Li's civil war and her senior brother's safety.
Every night, she sat alone on Su Xiaoyu's roof and read the letters sent from the battlefield. She was conflicted in her heart. She couldn't make a choice and had mixed feelings. She had no choice but to taste all kinds of pain herself.
She had grown up and followed her master for so many years. Even if she had suffered great grievances, she had never thought of a question: who were her parents and whether they were still alive?
However, these few nights, she couldn't help but think about them. She couldn't help but yearn for a warm embrace.
Did Little Yu 'er ever think of her parents and home?
Bai Yuqiao wasn't the only one who couldn't sleep in the quiet night.
Ning Jing tossed and turned on the bed. With her big belly, she felt uncomfortable no matter how she laid down. She was always afraid that she would squash the child in her belly. Her longing for Tang Li didn't fade with time. Instead, it grew stronger, especially in the middle of the night. She always wanted to know what Tang Li was doing. She always missed the bowl of red bean porridge that Tang Li personally cooked.
Mu Ling 'er was also awake.
She slept on the warm bed on the right side of Ning Jing's bed and personally kept watch for Ning Jing.
When she heard Ning Jing tossing and turning, she said, "Sister Jing, you can't sleep again?"
"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Ning Jing was very surprised. Mu Ling 'er didn't move just now, so she thought that the girl was asleep.
"I miss Qi Brother." Mu Ling 'er was always so simple and pure. She said whatever was on her mind, and her happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy were all written on her face.
"He doesn't miss you. Why do you miss him?" Ning Jing asked seriously. She had never had a good impression of Gu.
Mu Ling 'er unconsciously stroked her flat belly and muttered, "Sister Jing, I've been pretending for too long. I've almost been fooled by myself. I've dreamed so many times that I'm really pregnant with Qi Brother's child! "
She had been wearing a fake belly for so long. If she hadn't taken it off when she slept, she would have really thought that she was pregnant. After acting for so long, it was easy to get into character.
Ning Jing was stunned at first, but then she burst out laughing. "Mu Ling 'er, you're still so young and you're already having wet dreams?"
Mu Ling 'er panicked and sat up immediately. "I didn't, I didn't!"
"Then how did you really get pregnant with Gu's child?" Ning Jing asked.
"It's … it's …" Mu Ling 'er blushed. "I dreamed that Qi Brother touched my belly and smiled at me. He looked really good when he smiled. "
If Gu knew about Mu Ling 'er's dream, would he still be able to smile?
Ning Jing did laugh. She didn't know what to say about Mu Ling 'er. This girl was both funny and pitiful.
Why did Gu not care about her?
Mu Ling 'er looked at Ning Jing's smile and didn't say anything. There was a hint of hesitation in her big clear eyes. When Ning Jing stopped, she got off the bed and nestled beside Ning Jing.
"Sister Jing, can I ask you a question?" Mu Ling 'er asked in a low voice.
"Go ahead." Ning Jing was very suspicious. This girl was so close to her. What did she want to say?
Unexpectedly, Mu Ling 'er asked, "Sister Jing, Tang Li must have kissed you before, right?"
Uh …
Ning Jing was silent for a moment. Then she quickly lifted the blanket and chased Mu Ling 'er off the bed. "I'm going to sleep. Little girl, don't ask so many questions."
"Sister Jing, how does it feel to be kissed? I … I dreamt that Qi Brother kissed me, "Mu Ling 'er said anxiously.
Luckily, the room was very dark. Otherwise, the blushing Ning Jing would have burrowed under the blanket. Although she had tormented Tang Li before and had also been tormented by Tang Li in various ways, she still felt very uncomfortable when discussing the topic of kissing with outsiders.
"Go down, go down. I'm going to sleep. Don't disturb me!" Ning Jing said unhappily.
"I'll just ask secretly. I promise I won't tell anyone, okay?" Mu Ling 'er pleaded in a low voice.
"You can ask your sister when you see her!"
Ning Jing pushed the problem to Han Yunxi. Unexpectedly, Mu Ling 'er said timidly, "I don't dare to ask her. Long Fei Ye is too scary."
"You're asking her, not Long Fei Ye." Ning Jing couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"But this … this has something to do with Long Fei Ye! Anyway, it's too scary! I won't ask! "Mu Ling 'er said seriously.
If Ning Jing wasn't pregnant, she would have kicked Mu Ling 'er off the bed. It wasn't easy to ask about Long Fei Ye, but it was easy to ask about Tang Li? What was this little girl thinking?
Mu Ling 'er begged twice more, but Ning Jing still didn't want to talk to her. Mu Ling' er had no choice but to get off the bed dejectedly.
Ning Jing wasn't sleepy to begin with. Because Mu Ling 'er brought up this topic, she couldn't calm down. She couldn't help but think about the times when Tang Li kissed her. Tang Li begged her relentlessly every time, but in the end, he always forced himself on her!
Thinking about this, Ning Jing couldn't help but smile. She didn't dare to move around, afraid that Mu Ling 'er would know that she wasn't asleep and come over to "harass" her again.
Mu Ling 'er waited for a long time. Seeing that Ning Jing didn't move, she really thought that Ning Jing was asleep.
She wasn't sleepy to begin with. Now that the topic was brought up, she was even more upset and couldn't sleep.
She got off the bed and went out to get some fresh air.
Ning Jing only heaved a sigh of relief when Mu Ling 'er closed the door. In the dark, she didn't see that Mu Ling' er had left her fake belly on the bed.
Mu Ling 'er was full of thoughts and didn't notice that she wasn't wearing her fake belly. After she went out, she walked straight ahead.
She and Ning Jing lived in the backyard, while Deacon Jin and Uncle Cheng lived in the front yard. There was a small garden in between.
Mu Ling 'er was strolling among the flowers. She was so bored that she kicked a small stone. Suddenly, a stone flew out from the right and knocked away the small stone she kicked out.
"Who's there!" Mu Ling 'er shouted sternly.
She turned her head to look, but she didn't see anyone. She became alert and was about to walk forward. Unexpectedly, someone pressed down on her shoulder from behind.
Mu Ling 'er immediately squatted down and swept her leg out. The person behind her jumped up and kicked her fiercely. Mu Ling 'er had no way to retreat and could only lean back to avoid it.
Who knew that the moment she leaned back, the man would step on her, forcing her to lie on the ground while the man stepped on her lower abdomen.
At this moment, Mu Ling 'er finally saw who it was. It was none other than Deacon Jin!
"Mu Ling 'er, where's your child?" Deacon Jin asked Coldly.
Only then did Mu Ling 'er realize that she didn't wear a fake belly. She felt a chill down her spine and broke out in a cold sweat. She felt like she was about to collapse.
Deacon Jin stared at her flat lower abdomen and stepped on it forcefully. Mu Ling 'er couldn't help but cry out, "It hurts! It hurts … "
Deacon Jin immediately let go of her and hurriedly squatted down to cover her mouth. "Shut up if you don't want to attract Uncle Cheng!"
Mu Ling 'er immediately shut up obediently. However, in the next moment, she couldn't help but scream. Because Deacon Jin had pressed his hand on her lower abdomen.
Fortunately, Deacon Jin's other hand was covering Mu Ling 'er's mouth to block out her scream. Otherwise, not only Uncle Cheng, but everyone in the courtyard would have been woken up.
Mu Ling 'er's eyes widened. She used both hands to tug at Deacon Jin's hand and wriggled her body as hard as she could to struggle. Deacon Jin covered her mouth with one hand and pressed her stomach with the other to check. He didn't have any extra hands to restrain her, so he simply sat down on Mu Ling 'er's lap …
