Han Yunxi was very nervous. Long Fei Ye also became nervous.
Both of them stared at Han Yunxi's big belly. After waiting for a while, there was no movement.
However, the two of them still didn't dare to move. They just stared quietly.
After a while, they saw a small bump on the side of Han Yunxi's abdomen. It gradually grew bigger and bigger.
The little guy was bulging!
Long Fei Ye couldn't help but reach out to touch it.
However, as soon as his hand touched it, the little bump immediately calmed down and disappeared.
This was already the ninth time!
Long Fei Ye had been looking forward to fetal movement, but he was too busy and missed it countless times. It wasn't until the later stages of pregnancy that the fetal movement became very obvious that he was finally lucky enough to bump into it.
At first, he just watched. After two or three times, he couldn't help but want to touch it.
However, he didn't know if the little guy was naughty or afraid of him. Every time he touched it, the little guy would hide.
"It's the ninth time! Haha! "
Han Yunxi laughed. Every time the baby moved, the little guy would bulge higher when she touched it. It seemed to like her touch very much. However, when it was Long Fei Ye, the little guy didn't even want to stay and immediately ran away.
"Are you afraid of me?" Long Fei Ye had always wanted to figure it out. However, if he wanted to figure it out, he would probably have to wait for a year or two.
"I think so!" Han Yunxi smiled and nodded.
"What's there to be afraid of?" Long Fei Ye muttered to himself. He leaned closer and pressed against Han Yunxi's big belly, wanting to listen for movement.
Unfortunately, there was no movement at all.
Han Yunxi pushed him. "Alright, I'm going to sleep. Are you going to sleep? "
Han Yunxi knew that Long Fei Ye wouldn't sleep so early. She was chasing him away. At the dining table, he and Gu Beiyue talked so much that they forgot to eat. There must be a lot of things to discuss.
She was very tired. Even if she had the heart to help, she didn't have the strength to do so, so she didn't want to waste any more of his time.
"Go to sleep. I'll accompany you." Long Fei Ye had no intention of leaving.
"Gu Beiyue dropped by on the way. He'll probably leave tomorrow. Didn't you want to set up the Imperial Academy of Medicine to have direct jurisdiction over the Medical City and the Medical City? She wanted to take this opportunity to chat with him. Once he leaves, it will probably be a few months before you can see him again, "Han Yunxi said seriously.
No one knows a husband better than his wife, and no one knows a wife better than her husband.
Long Fei Ye was waiting for Han Yunxi to open her mouth. He knew that after Han Yunxi said such words, she would obediently sleep in the camp and not disturb him.
Long Fei Ye rubbed Han Yunxi's bangs and smiled. "Go to sleep then."
"Let's go, I'm so sleepy!" Han Yunxi urged.
Long Fei Ye still said a few more words before leaving.
Once he left, he went to find Gu Beiyue at the fastest speed possible. He asked as soon as he entered, "Where is he?"
Naturally, he was asking about Gu.
Long Fei Ye was very clear about Gu's true situation. However, he didn't expect Gu Beiyue to come. Since Gu Beiyue was here, how could Gu not come with his temperament?
"He didn't want to see you, so he asked me to come over and give the Little Master a red packet," Gu Beiyue said helplessly.
Long Fei Ye didn't want to hear this explanation and asked again, "Where is he?"
"Your Highness, you also know that we can't find him if he doesn't want to see you and the princess." Gu Beiyue was speaking the truth. "I'll leave tomorrow morning. Seventh Young Master said that he would wait for me at the relay station two hundred li away. This subordinate doesn't know his whereabouts since last night. "
Long Fei Ye didn't say anything else. He sat down at the side and furrowed his brows.
Gu Beiyue was also silent. After a while, he said in a low voice, "Your Highness, Seventh Young Master … only has two months left to live."
Gu Beiyue had already said this in his letter.
With the growth rate of the vines on Gu's body, it would take at most two months for the vines to corrode his heart and brain.
At that time, Gu would completely disappear from this world, leaving behind a pile of vines.
"Can't the medical school cultivate those pestilence poisons?" Long Fei Ye suddenly questioned loudly.
"They can't. If it were other poisons, they could be cultivated on death row prisoners, but pestilence … "
Before Gu Beiyue could finish, Long Fei Ye interrupted, "How many people do you need?"
Gu Beiyue suddenly said sternly, "Your Highness!"
Pestilence was a contagious disease. In order to cultivate the poisons, countless people had to be used to cultivate it.
In the past few months, Gu Beiyue had used more than ten death row prisoners for experiments. Although Gu Beiyue had negotiated with the death row prisoner beforehand and given him plenty of benefits so that he'd do the job willingly, he still felt guilty!
This was the most inhumane thing a doctor could do.
They wanted to save Gu, but they also wanted others to suffer the pain that Gu had suffered in the past. He couldn't feel at ease, and neither could Gu.
Long Feiye's head was bowed, his profile cold as he spoke. "Not long ago, Chu Tianyin captured Western Zhou's Jue City. There's a death row prison there filled with unpardonable murderers. There are over 50 of them."
"No." Gu Beiyue's gaze was serious as he added, "Moreover, it's not enough."
The poison that Gu Yuntian had used on Gu came from the most famous pestilence in Cloud Realm's history. That year, nearly ten thousand people had died in Cloud Realm. What could a mere fifty people produce?
Long Fei Ye was speechless.
He stood up and asked indifferently, "Gu Beiyue, have you given up?"
"No!" Gu Beiyue replied without hesitation as he stood up as well.
Long Fei Ye turned and left, leaving behind a sentence, "Return to Medical City immediately!"
Long Fei Ye returned to Han Yunxi's tent, but he didn't go in. He stood there for a long time, unsure if he should tell Han Yunxi the truth.
But now, he had to consider another problem. There were only two months left. Would Han Yunxi still have time to see Gu one last time?
The fireworks in the barracks continued to bloom in the night sky, resplendent and gorgeous. Unfortunately, they only lingered for a moment before disappearing without a trace.
Gu's smile was even more dazzling than the fireworks.
How long could Gu continue to shine in this world? How long could he stay?
Long Fei Ye gazed at the fireworks. Gu Beiyue also stood at the entrance of the barracks, gazing at the sky full of fireworks. He knew that Gu must be nearby at this very moment, watching the same fireworks as them.
Gu was on a small hill behind the barracks. He sat alone on a large rock, gnawing on a steamed bun as he gazed at the fireworks in the distance. His long and narrow eyes reflected the splendor of the fireworks.
When he finished eating the steamed bun, so did the fireworks. He muttered to himself, "How beautiful, it's a pity it's so fleeting."
He lay down on his back and stretched lazily. Then, he casually spread his legs to form the character '大'. The wide black robe covered his body and limbs, only his face could be seen.
His face was still as beautiful and alluring as ever, as if he was a celestial being.
After the fireworks ended, the whole world fell silent and dimmed. Only the whistling of the north wind was left. Gradually, the north wind blew up his black robe and woke him up from his memories.
He became excited again and sang the mountain song loudly. It was the same mountain song that Han Yunxi and the rest laughed at all the way.
"Sing the mountain song, the mountain song is like the spring river water, singing here and there …"
However, as he sang, his rough voice changed, and so did the words.
"Miss the beauty, day and night, day and night; the beauty is like a flower in the clouds, I can't dream of returning to the south; laughing at the common people, the common people laugh at me, laughing at the common people, who cares who is the King of Sky Cloud, I'm crazy and crazy …"
No one listened to this song, and no one laughed.
But Gu continued to sing at the top of his lungs, carefree and open-minded. He used the tune of the mountain song to shout out his truest feelings, his truest intentions.
He was the cruelest, purest, and truest existence in the world.
In the last two months, he didn't want to go anywhere. He just wanted to stay here and watch the smoke curl up from the chimneys of Rear Camp every morning, and the stars and lanterns every night. Then he would quietly take root and become a tree. He would bloom into a mountain flower more dazzling than the fireworks …
Early next morning.
Gu Beiyue sat in his tent for an entire night before making a decision. Before he left, he asked Chu Xifeng to deliver a letter to Mu Ling 'er, telling her to hurry to Medical City to help him.
He didn't mention a word about Gu, only that there was a patient who needed medicine.
Without saying a word, he left as fast as he could for the relay station a hundred li away.
Long Fei Ye stayed by Han Yunxi's side all night. When Han Yunxi woke up, he pretended as if nothing had happened. Just like every other morning, he planted a light kiss on her forehead and asked her what she wanted to eat.
Soon enough, Chu Xifeng returned with a report. "Your Highness, princess, Doctor Gu received an urgent message and is rushing back to Medical City." "What message?" Han Yunxi asked hastily.
"I think he found some sort of medicine. This subordinate isn't sure, "Chu Xifeng replied.
Han Yunxi wanted to ask more questions, but the Shadow Guard came with a letter from Ning Jing! Han Yunxi opened it and was thrilled. "Long Fei Ye, Ning Jing's coming! She's bringing Tang Li with her. Her teeth are basically fine now! "
"Excellent," Long Feiye missed that little brother of his as well.
That very afternoon, snowflakes began to fall from the skies. The snowfall grew heavier and heavier until it stopped on the third day of the new year.
The weather was exceptionally cold.
Perhaps it was because of the weather, but Han Yunxi began to have trouble breathing. Fourth Young Miss Ren stayed by her side all day long, while Long Fei Ye stayed close behind.
Soon enough, Long Fei Ye received a letter from Gu Beiyue. Gu hadn't returned to Medical City, but was staying near Rear Camp. Gu Beiyue waited an entire day at the relay station before finding out. He immediately turned back to find him.
Gu didn't want to leave, so Gu Beiyue had no choice but to accompany him while ordering people to deliver the medicine and Lil Thing from Medicine City.
Long Fei Ye didn't ask where they were staying, nor did Gu Beiyue.
It was clearly the beginning of spring, but the weather was getting colder and colder.
Northern Li experienced a cold spell in late spring. Soon enough, news of a snowstorm spread, especially in the northern regions. Many villages had their roads closed and food supplies were scarce, leading to mass starvation.
This reality was a slap to the faces of the Baili and southern armies. Fortunately, Ning Cheng hadn't sent out his troops. If he did, the casualties would be unimaginable.
Today, Long Fei Ye received a letter from Ning Cheng. Northern Li's snowstorm had broken out on a large scale, starving civilians and livestock to death. The Northern Dynasties Emperors were reluctant to send out food supplies for the sake of guaranteeing the army's rations. But Ning Cheng had taken the initiative to ask for reinforcements. He wanted to send out troops at this critical juncture!
Just as Long Fei Ye finished reading the report, Chu Xifeng suddenly burst in and shouted, "Your Highness, the princess is about to give birth! The princess is about to give birth! "
