Han Yunxi had just returned to her tent when she saw Baili Yuanlong and a group of people enter the large tent for discussion.
She knew that Long Feiye would only show up very late tonight. She immediately ordered Granny Zhao to boil soup for Long Fei Ye.
She didn't know about Gu and Gu Beiyue's current situation. She could only sigh in her heart. If Gu Beiyue wasn't busy helping Xiao Qi find the antidote to his undying body, Gu Beiyue would definitely be of great help to Long Fei Ye.
Just like that, three months passed in the midst of their busy work.
During these three months, not all the news from Medical City was good, but the bad news wasn't too bad either. It was nothing more than a failed prescription.
Gu Beiyue was the one who thought of mixing good news and bad news. It was also because of this that Han Yunxi didn't suspect anything.
In reality, Gu Beiyue didn't find a single antidote for the plague during these three months. Gu no longer wore his red robes. Instead, he hid himself in a large black robe, just like Gu Qi Sha in Medicine Ghost Valley. Other than his eyes, nothing else was exposed.
He would sit on the roof for an entire day. He would even joke with Gu Beiyue about where he would plant himself if he really turned into a tree.
Gu Beiyue would always smile and tell him, "Xiao Qi, I can cure you. Trust me."
Gu would always nod. "Of course I trust you!"
Mu Ling'er was still waiting at the Tang Sect. She knew everything about Ning Jing and Tang Li, as well as their whereabouts. She clearly wanted to leave the Tang Sect, but she still wrote a letter to Ning Jing, telling her not to worry about little Tang Li. She told her to take Tang Li around and come back a few months later.
Tomorrow night, Mu Ling'er would sit on the roof and lie on her back like Qi Brother, looking up at the starry sky.
She had always missed Qi Brother. She didn't want to have a future with Qi Brother. When Qi Brother rejected her, she knew that there wouldn't be a future.
She just wanted to, purely miss someone.
Occasionally, she would think of Jin Zi. It wasn't that she missed him, but she would remember that there was someone who loved her.
Ning Jing's denture had already been inserted. She was also waiting.
Every night, she would stay by Tang Li's side, hoping that Tang Li would suddenly wake up and cook a bowl of sweet red bean porridge for her.
Han Yunxi was also waiting.
The baby in her belly was already eight months old, and Fourth Young Mistress Ren was already on her way. It was said that pregnancy lasted for ten months, but in reality, it was only nine months.
Han Yunxi had never been a sleepy person, but for some reason, she had become especially sleepy recently. She wanted to help Long Fei Ye with some of the government affairs, but she couldn't do it. Sometimes, she even wanted to wait for Long Fei Ye to come back before going to sleep. However, as she waited, she unknowingly fell asleep. When she woke up the next day, it was already late in the morning. Long Fei Ye had already left.
Long Fei Ye was also waiting.
In the past three months, there had been a lot of good news on the western battlefield. Two major military factions in Western Zhou had surrendered. Taking advantage of this momentum, he resolutely appointed Chu Tianyin as the General of the Western Frontier and gave him a large army. This matter not only completely won Chu Tianyin's heart, but also made many of the civil and military officials of Western Zhou see his magnanimity and surrender.
It could be said that in three months, Long Fei Ye had taken over half of Western Zhou with minimal losses.
Currently, Chu Tianyin and the western army were attacking Western Zhou's capital from the east and the south. With the situation set in stone, it would only take ten days to destroy Western Zhou.
Although Long Fei Ye was tired from military and government affairs, he was still able to carry out his plans with ease.
He could declare himself emperor and establish a country at any time.
Gradually, people began to urge him to prepare for the coronation ceremony, but he was still waiting. He was waiting for his child to be born, and for news of Gu Beiyue.
He hoped that he could spend a month with Han Yunxi before she gave birth, and that he'd receive good news of Gu Beiyue after the winter, so he could sit on the throne without regrets.
Today, Long Fei Ye was sunbathing with Han Yunxi in front of the tent when Chu Xifeng personally called Fourth Young Miss Ren over.
Long Fei Ye sat lazily in his seat, but Han Yunxi rose to greet him.
Fourth Young Miss Ren strode over. "Princess, you can't, you can't!"
"Don't you need to exercise more in the later stages? If you move more, you'll suffer less when you give birth, "Han Yunxi teased.
Like all women, Fourth Young Miss Ren was a little timid when speaking in front of Long Fei Ye.
She didn't even dare to look at Long Fei Ye, but only said, "If Your Highness has the time, you should take the princess for a walk. There's no need to confine yourself to the barracks."
"Mm," Long Feiye replied coldly.
Zhao mama stole glances at His Highness from the sidelines. She knew that he'd take the princess three steps outside of the barracks from now on.
Han Yunxi ordered the servant girls to sit while Long Fei Ye immediately asked Fourth Young Miss Ren to take her pulse and examine her condition.
Although a prenatal checkup was necessary, there was no need to ask a doctor to take her pulse. The other two female doctors were capable of doing basic checkups and had done so long ago.
Fourth Young Miss Ren didn't think it was necessary either. The two female doctors had explained the princess's condition to her on time. However, Fourth Young Mistress Ren still replied respectfully, "Yes."
Han Yunxi was also obedient. However, after Fourth Young Miss Ren took her pulse and said that everything was normal, Han Yunxi sent Long Fei Ye away with a few words.
As soon as Long Feiye left, Fourth Young Miss Ren's entire body relaxed. Even her sitting posture changed.
"Princess, aren't you afraid of His Highness?" Fourth Young Miss Ren asked seriously.
"Why should I be afraid of him?" Han Yunxi asked, but she quickly added, "Actually, I used to be very afraid of him."
Han Yunxi didn't like to talk about Long Fei Ye with other women, regardless of how close they were friends or sisters.
She changed the topic. "How are Gu Beiyue and Gu?"
Of course, Han Yunxi knew that Fourth Young Miss Ren didn't know about Gu. She was just asking casually.
However, Fourth Young Miss Ren's face immediately darkened. "I haven't seen Dean Beiyue for several months. He handed over all the affairs of the Medical City to Vice-Head Shen. He seems to be in seclusion."
Han Yunxi knew what was going on and could see Fourth Young Miss Ren's disappointment. She asked again, "What about Lil Thing? She didn't harass you again, did she? "
Fourth Young Miss Ren quickly shook her head. Actually, she hoped that Lil Thing would continue to harass her. In that case, she might be able to see Dean Beiyue again.
"Princess, why did you leave Lil Thing with Dean Beiyue?" Fourth Young Miss Ren asked curiously.
"Lil Thing likes Beiyue." Han Yunxi thought that this was one of the reasons.
As the two chatted, Han Yunxi could see Fourth Young Miss Ren's melancholy, but she didn't expose her, nor did she want to talk too much. She didn't like to talk about her man with other women, nor did she like to talk about other men's relationships with other women.
Just as Han Yunxi was talking about the problems with Medical City's designated medical system, Fourth Young Miss Ren lowered her voice and told her a secret. It was about Gu Beiyue sending someone to the Qin family to act as a matchmaker!
"Spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair?" Han Yunxi was very surprised.
"I've sent someone to investigate. The marriage is real. After you left Clearbreeze Mountain, Dean Beiyue secretly sent someone to bring a matchmaker over. Although it was a secret, the news still spread. "Fourth Young Miss Ren's face was filled with grief.
"How is that possible? Gu Beiyue was very busy back then!" Han Yunxi didn't believe it.
Marriage was a major matter. Setting aside the fact that Gu Beiyue would choose a woman like that as his wife, at the very least, he definitely wouldn't be rash with his personality. He wouldn't be so rash, nor would he make that woman suffer and act as a matchmaker in secret.
"That young miss Qin was already of marriageable age, but she never got married because of her illness. I heard the Qin family released news a long time ago that as long as the young masters of aristocratic families in Medical City were willing to marry the first young miss Qin, the Qin family would give them a generous dowry and a set of medical books that couldn't be leaked to outsiders. However, no one was willing to marry her. "
As Fourth Young Miss Ren spoke, she sighed helplessly, "She's also a pitiful person. I heard that before Dean Beiyue went to get engaged, the Qin family wanted to casually marry her off to a fifth rank divine doctor over sixty years old so that her younger sister could get married smoothly. First young miss Qin even committed suicide because of this. "
Han Yunxi was even more surprised. "Don't tell me Gu Beiyue knew about this and was in such a hurry to get engaged?"
"It's possible," Fourth Young Miss Ren said helplessly.
A complicated look flashed through Han Yunxi's eyes, but she didn't say anything.
She was puzzled. How did Gu Beiyue know about the young miss of the Qin family? If he wanted to help the young miss of the Qin family, there were many ways.
The young masters of aristocratic families in Medical City looked down on the young miss of the Qin family's dowry and medical books, but they would definitely be impressed by Gu Beiyue's high regard for the young miss of the Qin family. As long as Gu Beiyue showed that he valued the young miss of the Qin family, many young masters of aristocratic families would definitely come to ask for her hand in marriage. Why would Gu Beiyue use his own marriage to help the young miss of the Qin family?
Could it be that there was something between Gu Beiyue and the young miss of the Qin family that outsiders didn't know about?
"Princess, why do you think Dean Beiyue did this?"
Fourth Young Miss Ren had endured for a long time and finally found someone she could tell the truth to. She really hoped that the princess could give her a reason.
However, Han Yunxi really didn't dare to jump to conclusions. She didn't know what had happened to Gu Beiyue in Medical City. Back then, when Gu Beiyue chose Fourth Young Miss Ren in the medical competition, both she and Gu were very surprised. If Gu Beiyue didn't say it, she was afraid that she would never know that Gu Beiyue and Fourth Young Miss Ren were friends.
"Beiyue must have his reasons for doing things. The woman he fancies must be worthy of him in some way as well," Han Yunxi intoned.
She knew that it was very cruel to Fourth Young Miss Ren, but it was also a reminder to her. Since there was no result, she should stop thinking about Gu Beiyue.
Fourth Young Miss Ren was a smart person, so she understood immediately. However, she couldn't hide the tears in her eyes in the end, so she left in a hurry.
Han Yunxi lay on the rocking chair, stroking her belly gently. Originally, she wanted to write a letter to Gu Beiyue to ask about this, but she gave up after thinking about it. Since Gu Beiyue went to matchmake secretly, he definitely didn't want them to know. If she asked about this matter as soon as Fourth Young Miss Ren arrived, Gu Beiyue would definitely guess that Fourth Young Miss Ren was talking too much.
Han Yunxi sighed secretly. Long Fei Ye was a mystery. Only she, who slept with him, could understand. Actually, Gu Beiyue was also a mystery. She couldn't understand. She didn't know how much Miss Qin would understand.
Fourth Young Miss Ren was still very strong. She recovered the next day. With her in the camp, Han Yunxi could be said to be completely relaxed. She didn't have to worry about a sudden premature birth.
Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, the end of the year was here.
Han Yunxi's movements became more and more inconvenient. Long Fei Ye accompanied her almost all day. He didn't go out at all.
However, on the eve of the new year, Gu Beiyue suddenly appeared at the entrance of the rear camp.
Han Yunxi was very surprised, but Long Fei Ye's heart almost stopped …
