Qin Min didn't expect Han Yunxi to say that. She felt that Han Yunxi's words seemed to have a hidden meaning. However, she didn't think too much about it and continued to play dumb.
Actually, she didn't want to pretend either! She couldn't wait to lie down on the couch and have a good sleep. She was so tired that every bone in her body felt uncomfortable from sitting in the carriage. Although she had slept in the tent for the past few days, she couldn't get enough sleep.
Helplessly, she had to be alert at all times, just like the days when she lived in Yunning City. She was afraid that if she got familiar with the Empress and the rest, she would easily give herself away.
Mu Ling 'er was fine, but the Empress and Ning Jing weren't easy to deal with. They had sharp eyes.
She had already ruined Gu Beiyue's plan because of the child. If her relationship with Gu Beiyue and her marriage were to be messed up again, she wouldn't be able to face Gu Beiyue in her next life.
She still missed the days in Yunning City. She had been away for so long, and she didn't know how Little Shadow was doing. She originally wanted to bring Little Shadow here, but after thinking carefully for a long time, she gave up.
If she was so uncomfortable, it wouldn't be convenient for Little Shadow to come. She couldn't let the child suffer.
"Do they look alike?" Qin Min asked curiously.
"They don't look alike, but their tempers are exactly the same!" Mu Ling 'er couldn't help but say, "Sister Min, tell us secretly. Did Gu Beiyue set the rules for you? You're not allowed to do that at home, and you're not allowed to do that when you go out? "
Qin Min laughed, "No. He's just like me. It's just that … "
Mu Ling 'er was easy to deal with, but the Empress and Ning Jing weren't. She answered while thinking about how to change the topic.
In the end, she pretended to be shy and whispered, "It's just that I'm not allowed to eat anything."
"You're not pregnant, so why can't you eat anything?" Mu Ling 'er asked again.
Qin Min said faintly, "I'm still recuperating. He's watching me closely, afraid that I'll be careless again."
Only then did Mu Ling'er remember that Qin Min had a miscarriage. She immediately corrected herself. "Sister Min, Gu Beiyue's heart aches for you and that's why he's watching over you. Look at how much my brother-in-law dotes on my sister, that's why he's also keeping a close eye on her! "
Mu Ling'er had just been quite depressed that Gu Beiyue was so talkative, causing her sister to not be able to eat barbecued meat and causing her to be banned from eating in the future. However, she knew that Qin Min did not have a miscarriage because she fell down on her own. She was afraid that Qin Min would blame herself and be unhappy if she brought up this topic, so she changed her words to comfort her.
Ning Jing listened quietly. Han Yunxi knew what was going on, so she didn't say anything.
"Actually, you don't have to be so secretive," Qin Min said calmly.
At this point, Mu Ling'er successfully changed the topic.
"Really?" Mu Ling 'er was overjoyed.
Qin Min said seriously, "After three months of pregnancy, you don't have to deliberately restrict your diet and daily activities. Sour and spicy, fried and roasted things, and if the ingredients are fresh, you don't have to ban them. It's okay to eat them occasionally to satisfy your cravings. "
"But Gu Beiyue, he …" Mu Ling'er didn't quite believe her. After all, Gu Beiyue was an authority in the medical field!
Unexpectedly, Qin Min said, "You have to trust a female doctor when it comes to women's matters."
Mu Ling'er was stunned for a moment before she laughed out loud. "That makes sense, that makes sense!"
Han Yunxi could clearly tell that Qin Min was deliberately changing the topic, but when she heard this, she felt as though she had found a soulmate. Although she wasn't an obstetrician, she knew that there was no need to be so particular about pregnancy. She just couldn't convince Long Fei Ye, and Gu Beiyue was on Long Fei Ye's side.
She said teasingly, "Qin Min, when you go back tonight, tell your Gu Beiyue to help me put in a good word with Long Fei Ye."
Qin Min smiled. "Your Majesty, this subject's wife will do her best."
Mu Linger pursed her lips into a soundless smile, as if she could see her future days of eating, eating, and eating.
Ning Jing was about to speak, but Qin Min hurriedly spoke first. She said to Han Yunxi, "Your Majesty, may this subject take your pulse?"
Han Yunxi immediately reached out her hand. She'd heard Gu Beiyue say that Qin Min was a medical all-rounder who was a professional in all aspects. Moreover, she had her own set of acupuncture techniques that could cure many illnesses that couldn't be cured with medicine or took too long to heal themselves. Instead, her acupuncture techniques could cure them quickly.
She just wanted to let Qin Min take her pulse and see if there was any difference between what Qin Min said and what Gu Beiyue said.
Normally, Gu Beiyue would take her pulse every few days and give her a simple checkup while telling her things to take note of. However, this time, Qin Min took her pulse for a long time.
At first, Han Yunxi was still calm, but when she saw Qin Min's cautious expression and silence, she began to feel uneasy.
"My sister … what's wrong?" Mu Ling'er couldn't help but ask.
Qin Min remained silent. After a while, she replied, "It's nothing serious."
As she spoke, she suddenly approached Han Yunxi, and Han Yunxi whispered something. Han Yunxi looked incredulous. "Really?"
"Your Majesty, we can verify it in about five months." Qin Min respectfully returned to her seat.
"You …" Han Yunxi was very surprised.
Qin Min only smiled and didn't explain.
Ning Jing and Mu Ling'er were confused. Mu Ling'er panicked. "What are you whispering about?"
Han Yunxi said, "I'm pregnant with … a girl?"
"Ah?" Mu Ling'er was shocked.
Ning Jing was also extremely shocked. "Qin Min, you can even tell?"
Qin Min still looked like a well-bred young lady. She sat there upright, and even the way she placed her hands was very polite. She smiled faintly, and the feeling she gave people was so beautiful. She wasn't stiff or pretentious at all. That warm and sweet smile made people unconsciously think of the sunlight outside the tent. It was warm but not hot, bright but not dazzling.
It was April, and the spring sun was warm outside the tent. The spring breeze was gentle, and the spring scenery was beautiful.
Qin Min said with a smile, "Your Majesty, Madam Jing, Madam Ling, Qin Min is willing to make a bet with you."
No one had ever made a bet with Han Yunxi. Han Yunxi didn't want to win. She only wanted to lose. She wanted to lose so badly.
Long Fei Ye wanted a daughter so, so much!
Wasn't she the same?
"Bet! Qin Min, if you win … "
Han Yunxi thought for a very long time, but she was unable to think of any conditions. She asked, "What do you want?"
Qin Min had been overjoyed the entire time. She was completely confident that the empress was pregnant with a girl. The reason why she said it was purely to divert the empress' attention and change the topic.
However, she became serious when she heard the empress say that. "Your Majesty, I have a request. I hope the empress won't tell Beiyue."
"Go ahead." Han Yunxi even wanted to replace Gu Beiyue and have Qin Min stay in the palace to do regular checkups for her.
"Your Majesty, if I'm right, please let Beiyue rest well. I hope the empress can let Beiyue recuperate more. He's a medicine pot, so he can't tire himself out too much, "Qin Min said seriously.
Last time when Gu Beiyue left the Ning province, she had taken Gu Beiyue's pulse. Gu Beiyue's body was actually extremely weak. Although she had not completely understood what was wrong with him, she knew that what he needed the most was rest. She also did not know whether he would soak in medicinal soup often after leaving the Ning province. His illness could not be delayed. The longer it was delayed, the worse it would get.
He said it could be cured and that it would be fine, so she obviously believed him. However, she was afraid that he would be busy, afraid that he would drag it out, afraid that he would not cherish himself.
He was the grand tutor of the crown prince. He was not just teaching a child, but the heir apparent of the Great Qin, the person who would protect the Great Qin in the future.
He was also the head of the Imperial Academy of Medicine and Medical City. From the nobles to the commoners, he was responsible for the heavy responsibility of the Great Qin's medical treatment. All matters related to human lives fell on his shoulders.
He was also the Emperor's internal advisor. He secretly controlled a group of strategists to share the Emperor's burdens and solve his problems. He did his best for the Great Qin.
Although she did not know the real reason why he adopted Little Shadow, she knew that he wanted to have an heir and it was related to the Shadow Clan. He was also the only descendant of the Shadow Clan!
He had endless things to do. With his personality, why would he take the initiative to take a leave?
Ning Jing and Mu Ling 'er also knew that other than Long Fei Ye, Gu Beiyue was the busiest. They only thought that Qin Min was complaining that Gu Beiyue did not have enough time to accompany her. Han Yunxi, on the other hand, realized that Gu Beiyue needed to rest. Han Yunxi knew that Gu Beiyue was a medicine bottle.
"Okay!" Han Yunxi agreed immediately. However, she secretly thought that when she returned, she would find a reason to give Gu Beiyue a leave. Whether Qin Min won the bet or not, she had to do it …
Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye stayed on the grasslands for a few days. Long Fei Ye and Gu Beiyue personally made a trip to Wintercrow. When they returned, they had a secret conversation with Jin Zi for an entire day.
Long Fei Ye had made up his mind to take over Wintercrow's grasslands. He was just waiting for an opportunity. Although Han Yunxi was in charge of military affairs, Long Fei Ye did not let her worry too much during her pregnancy. She also did not ask much about Wintercrow. Instead, she asked about Yao City. Although Mu Ling'er was married, she was still concerned about the Medicine Administration. On the day that Han Yunxi and the others returned to Qi Cheng Yunning, she had Jin Zi accompany her back to the Mu Residence.
Han Yunxi originally planned to discuss with Long Fei Ye on the way to give Gu Beiyue a leave of absence. Who knew that after traveling with them for a day, Gu Beiyue and Qin Min suddenly received a secret letter from Medical City's Vice Head Shen. Medical City's Qin Family and Ren Family had quarreled over a patient. Vice Head Shen could not handle it and asked Gu Beiyue to hurry back as soon as possible.
"Your Majesty, Qin Min will go back with you." Gu Beiyue said seriously.
"No need. We'll take the official road. We can find a doctor along the way." Han Yunxi refused. Gu Beiyue simply wanted to leave Qin Min behind to take care of her.
She was pregnant. She was not weak to the point where she needed a doctor to be on standby. If news of this got out, she would definitely become a laughingstock! Instead, it was Gu Beiyue. Since he was busy, having a woman to take care of him was better than nothing.
"Your Majesty …"
As soon as Gu Beiyue said that, Qin Min, who had been very quiet the entire time, interrupted him. She said, "Beiyue, it's about time we dealt with the matter of the Qin family. This might be an opportunity."
"Exactly!" Han Yunxi was about to mention this as well. Mu Ling 'er had already returned to Medicine City. Now that the Great Qin's treasury was filled and the imperial might was awe-inspiring, it was time to break the monopolization of medicine by the two major clans in Medical City and Medical City.
"It's time." Long Fei Ye nodded as well.
Gu Beiyue glanced at Qin Min, but he said nothing more.
Qin Min met his gaze and looked away in a hurry. She could not help but panic from her originally calm heart.
She regretted it!
When the carriage arrived at a fork in the road, it was already late at night.
Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi had to head due south, while Gu Beiyue and Qin Min had to head southwest. After watching Long Fei Ye's carriage leave, Gu Beiyue turned around and said indifferently, "First miss Qin, you must be tired from the past few days, right? Don't worry and sleep. I'll drive the carriage myself. "
Qin Min had already boarded the carriage and pulled down the curtains, but she still could not help herself in the end. She said softly, "Principal Beiyue, there won't be a next time. I promise."
She had said too much earlier.
