Han Yunxi and Mu Ling 'er didn't understand what Gu Beiyue was doing, but their gazes never left Gu Beiyue's hands.
Mu Ling 'er, who didn't know a thing, felt her heart break into pieces.
After a full two hours, Gu Beiyue finally spoke up. "Princess, Miss Ling 'er, both of you should leave. It's inconvenient for you to stay here. Don't worry, Seventh Young Master is fine. "
As Gu Beiyue spoke, his attention was still on Gu's body. His hands didn't stop moving either.
Although his eyes were bloodshot, he was still focused and serious.
Han Yunxi and Mu Ling 'er's hearts settled back into their chests!
The two sisters exchanged glances and smiled through their tears. They were both experts in the field and knew what Gu Beiyue meant. They quickly rose to their feet and left the room. Han Yunxi personally closed the door behind her.
After breathing in the fresh, cold air, her head, which had been dizzy from crying, cleared up a little.
By now, the sun had already lit up the entire mountain. The morning sun was warm and the air was fresh. Flowers bloomed all over the peak like a carpet of flowers.
Long Fei Ye and Chu Xifeng were still under the thorny tree, tormenting the trunk. When he saw Han Yunxi and Mu Ling 'er emerge, he walked over.
He took off his cloak and prepared to drape it over Han Yunxi's shoulders.
Han Yunxi refused and draped it over him instead. "I'm not cold, really."
She was already wrapped in a thick fox fur robe, so she really wasn't cold. Moreover, Fourth Young Miss Ren had taken care of her personally. She hadn't been disturbed in the past ten nights either, so her body and mind were recovering well.
Women generally had 42 days to recover after giving birth, but the number varied from person to person. Some recovered quickly, while others took longer. Han Yunxi had a good understanding of her own body.
"Chu Xifeng, it's cold on the mountain. Send the princess down first," Long Fei Ye instructed.
Han Yunxi immediately explained her theory to Long Fei Ye. Long Fei Ye had no choice but to ask her to sit down.
"Gu Beiyue said that Seventh Young Master is fine," Han Yunxi said hurriedly.
Long Fei Ye had already guessed it. Otherwise, he would not have retreated.
Mu Linger stood in front of the door, facing it tightly shut. Han Yunxi quickly pulled her over and told her everything. It would have been better if Mu Ling'er had not heard of Gu's immortal body. She knew that Gu's body had been corroded by the thorny vines for months. She knew that Gu had almost turned into the cold thorny tree in front of her.
Mu Ling 'er finally burst into tears. "Sister, Qi Brother is afraid of pain! Qi Brother was very afraid of pain! Why didn't you tell me?! Why?! "
Han Yunxi let her cry as she wished, unable to reply. She had only found out the truth today. Han Yunxi's heart still ached as she watched Mu Ling'er cry until her face was about to crumble.
That's right!
Seventh Young Master was afraid of pain. What had Seventh Young Master been through these past few months?
She leaned against the wall and recalled how Seventh Young Master and Long Fei Ye had told her multiple times that the imperial harem "won't die." Her eyes still stung with jealousy.
Just what kind of feelings did Gu Qishao have to say those words to me?
What kind of feelings did he have when he said to her, "Poison lass, I won't leave you behind unless I die?"
Only now did Han Yunxi truly understand the weight of Gu Qishao's promise!
Xiao Qi's deepest impression of her wasn't his brilliant smile, but his words.
Mu Ling'er couldn't stop crying, but Han Yunxi didn't cry.
Han Yunxi's heart was filled with hope that Gu Qishao would walk out of that room on his own and smile at them.
He could complain about why she wasn't sad or crying, and he could laugh at Ling'er for being a crybaby.
Han Yunxi stopped crying, but she knew that in the future, she'd remember Little Qi's promise and everything that had happened today. She'd think of all that Qishao had endured alone, and her face would be covered in tears just like Mu Linger's.
They waited all the way until night fell.
Long Fei Ye had already sent the Shadow Guard over to set up a tent. Granny Zhao also came over to serve them and cook a big pot of hot food.
Unfortunately, no one had any appetite as Gu wasn't awake yet.
If Gu Beiyue hadn't said that Gu was fine, everyone would be panicking by now.
At noon, Han Yunxi had Chu Xifeng deliver food to Gu Beiyue and told him to feed him. Gu Beiyue's acupuncture needles took energy, so he wouldn't wake up on an empty stomach.
None of them had an appetite for dinner. Chu Xifeng was about to deliver food to Gu Beiyue when Gu Beiyue came out.
Mu Ling'er ran in front and almost knocked Gu Beiyue over.
"How is it, how is it? How's Qi Big Brother? Is he awake? Is he alright? "
Gu Beiyue's face was weary, but he still smiled gently at Mu Ling'er.
"Miss Ling'er, don't worry. He's fine," he said.
He told Chu Xifeng to stand guard in the room while Mu Ling'er went to the tent. He had something to discuss.
Mu Ling'er wanted to see Qi Big Brother, but she also wanted to know the details of Qi Big Brother's condition. She couldn't decide.
"You can't go, his body is covered in needles." Gu Beiyue said, then told Chu Xifeng, "Light up the other two stoves as well. Don't let Qishao catch a cold, he's very weak right now."
Mu Ling'er immediately blushed. She knew that Qi Big Brother was probably still naked right now.
She turned back and asked, "Then when can we go?"
"Tomorrow," Gu Beiyue said mildly.
No one would know that last night, he was such a calm and rational person. However, he hugged Little Seven and cried so sadly.
Using up the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion was the most irrational thing he'd done!
When they returned to the tent, Gu Beiyue didn't even bother to eat before explaining last night's events to Han Yunxi and the rest. Han Yunxi personally placed a bowl of steaming hot soup in front of him. Only then did he comply and drink a bowl of it.
Now that Gu Beiyue was out, everyone could eat in peace.
They chatted as they ate.
Gu Beiyue summarized Xiao Qi's condition in a single sentence. He didn't want anyone to know what kind of torture Xiao Qi had suffered last night, nor did he want to recall it.
He only told them in detail about Xiao Qi's reaction after he used the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion.
When the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion fell, all of the thorny vines were corroded, leaving nothing behind. However, a red liquid was left behind. It looked very much like blood, but it wasn't blood at the same time.
He despaired, only to discover that as the vines disappeared, Gu's flesh was gradually recovering.
The vines had been corroded, but it looked more like they had withdrawn from Gu's body. When Gu's body completely reappeared, there was only a puddle of red liquid on the ground that looked like blood.
He immediately checked Gu's pulse and found that it wasn't much different from normal. The only difference was that it was very weak, and his heartbeat was almost non-existent.
He couldn't be bothered with the puddle of red liquid on the ground. He brought Gu into the room and immediately used acupuncture to protect his heart. After performing the acupuncture, he checked three times and was finally certain that Seventh Young Master's life wasn't in danger.
Mu Ling'er was stunned and kept sniffling.
Han Yunxi hurriedly said, "That red liquid took root in the soil and grew into a thorny tree?"
Gu had noticed the thorny tree at the door and nodded. "Princess, that red liquid should be the plant essence in Seventh Young Master's body."
"Why is the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion the antidote?" Long Fei Ye also spoke up.
When Han Yunxi left Medical City, she had handed the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion to Gu Beiyue. The antidote was in their hands, but they had been busy for several months without knowing. It was truly helpless.
"This is also something this humble one doesn't understand. In terms of medicine, we still have to wait for Seventh Young Master to wake up and figure it out together with Ling 'er? Medicinal herbs and poisonous plants are mutually reinforcing and counteracting, and Perplexing Butterfly Illusion is made from a mixture of withered plants. Looking at it carefully, it's not strange that Perplexing Butterfly Illusion can cure Seventh Young Master's undying body. " Gu Beiyue said seriously, "However, this humble one speculates that if Xiao Qi hadn't turned into thorny vines, perhaps the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion wouldn't have ended up like this."
Han Yunxi wanted to say the same thing.
If Gu's body hadn't been corroded by the thorny vines and used Perplexing Butterfly Illusion, perhaps it wouldn't have hurt him at all. No one could say for sure.
Moreover, Gu had used Perplexing Butterfly Illusion last night after testing out various medicinal herbs. Would the remnants of those herbs in his body have any effect on the thorny vines?
If they followed the formula from before and found the antidote for the plague, how much weaker would it be compared to the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion?
That was a question for Gu and Mu Ling 'er to solve. Even so, they might not be able to figure it out. It wasn't easy to get the antidote for the plague.
In any case, Seventh Young Master had already recovered. Han Yunxi would rather never create an antidote than see a plague as large as the one from the past erupt in Cloud Realm Continent again.
Mu Ling 'er sobbed, "Big sis, thank goodness you still kept the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion! Otherwise … sobsob … "
Han Yunxi rejoiced as well!
"Seventh Young Master's body is still very weak. We have limited medicinal ingredients here, so I have to take him back to Medical City. I'm afraid he'll have to soak in the medicinal soup for a while," Gu Beiyue said seriously.
"I'll go with you!" Mu Ling 'er said anxiously.
Gu Beiyue nodded helplessly. "We'll still need Miss Ling 'er to write up a few prescriptions."
Mu Ling 'er's eyes were still wet as she nodded. She was both upset and surprised, unable to calm down.
Gu's affairs had finally come to an end. Gu Beiyue estimated that it'd be at least a month before Gu woke up.
Tonight, however, everyone missed his brilliant, unrestrained smile.
After the meal, Gu Beiyue stood up and bowed to Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi. "Congratulations to Your Highness and Princess on the birth of a son."
It was only then that Mu Ling 'er remembered that she was here to see her little nephew. She said, "Big sis, can I go see Little Rui 'er tomorrow?"
"Let's go down the mountain together tomorrow." Although Han Yunxi missed her son after not seeing him for a day, she still wanted to accompany Gu with Gu Beiyue and Mu Ling 'er. Long Fei Ye didn't have much of an opinion.
Everyone stayed on the mountain for the night. The next morning, Mu Ling 'er and Han Yunxi both saw Gu.
His face was still as beautiful as ever. His long, narrow eyes were closed, and his eyelashes were long. Gu Beiyue helped him change into a white brocade robe. His quiet appearance made him look like a noble young master, the big brother next door.
