Not a pregnancy pulse?
Gu Beiyue was a little surprised and patiently waited for Han Yunxi to continue.
"But. There is indeed a life in the stomach. "Han Yunxi said directly.
Since it was not a pregnancy pulse and there was a life in the stomach, what was going on?
Gu Beiyue frowned slightly and did not say anything, waiting for Han Yunxi to continue.
However, Han Yunxi's face became serious. "I will only tell you the results of the diagnosis. Are you willing to know?"
Gu Beiyue was shocked. "What is going on?"
"I need your help, but you have to keep it a secret." Han Yunxi said again.
Gu Beiyue nodded without hesitation. Perhaps even he did not know why he trusted Han Yunxi so much.
Other than Gu Beiyue, Han Yunxi really could not find a second person she could trust.
This secret was too scary!
In the modern era, even modern people might not be able to accept it, let alone ancient people.
She said in a low voice, "The Crown Prince's illness is called 'fetus in fetus'. Strictly speaking, the child in his stomach is the Empress's."
When these words came out, the usually calm Gu Beiyue took two steps back and revealed a shocked expression. However, he quickly calmed down. "Qin Wangfei, you can't say such things carelessly."
Han Yunxi was helpless and wanted to laugh. She had once again broken this guy's calmness under his gentleness. She smiled faintly. "I know. Listen to my explanation first."
Gu Beiyue then came closer and nodded.
"When the Empress was pregnant with the Crown Prince, she was actually pregnant with two children. However, before the child was formed, the Crown Prince wrapped the other child in his body."
To be exact, a fetus in fetus was a parasitic fetus. It meant that when twin embryos were developing, one embryo was wrapped in the other embryo and stayed in the baby's body. It grew with the baby, absorbed the baby's nutrients, and developed abnormally.
Under different circumstances, some fetus in the womb developed quickly and would be discovered early. However, some fetus in the womb developed slowly and would only be discovered after many years.
The longest recorded case in the history of medicine was 32 years. Long Tianmo was not even 20 years old this year, so it was not a long time.
Gu Beiyue didn't know anything about cells or embryos. Han Yunxi could only explain it to him in the simplest terms.
"That is to say, the Empress was pregnant with twins, but before the fetus was formed, one of the Crown Princes wrapped the other child in his body. Later, the Crown Prince was formed and born, and the other life was left in his body. It relied on the nutrients in his blood to sustain itself and gradually grew up."
Gu Beiyue finally understood. He shook his head in disbelief. "I didn't expect something like this to happen."
Of course, he didn't believe that men could give birth to children. But after so many years, although he didn't participate in the Crown Prince's treatment, he had flipped through medical books to study this case.
Although he was very shocked by Han Yunxi's explanation, in his view, Han Yunxi's explanation was reasonable.
Gu Beiyue was silent. Suddenly, he raised his head to look at Han Yunxi. His gaze was grave as he said seriously, "This life cannot be taken! Although it has been said for so many years that it is a pregnancy pulse, the Emperor is not willing to believe it. "
Han Yunxi naturally knew that this life could not be taken. Otherwise, she wouldn't have kept it a secret and made up some nonsense about abdominal sarcoma.
A fetus in the womb was basically not a normal and healthy child. Some only had four limbs and no heart or brain. This was a life that wouldn't live for long even if it was saved.
Not to mention this, even if it was a complete and healthy child, it was also not to be taken.
How could the Crown Prince have a child?
If a child was really born, anyone who knew of this matter would definitely be silenced, including the Crown Prince and this child.
If this matter was spread, the Imperial Long Clan would be accused of being yao. It would give those restless rebel factions enough excuse to incite the people.
Of course, Han Yunxi didn't care about that much.
She only knew that she couldn't tell the truth. Moreover, she had to save this person in order to live.
Seeing Gu Beiyue's grave gaze, Han Yunxi's voice became cold, "So, I have to nip it in the bud."
"Your father has prescribed a lot of abortion pills, but none of them have any effect." Gu Beiyue seriously reminded.
Han Yunxi's lips curled in disdain, "Of course his pills won't be effective. Abortion pills are for women."
The pills that Han Congan prescribed were only effective for pregnant women. Strictly speaking, Long Tianmo wasn't pregnant. How could it be effective?
"I need a type of poison to dissolve the thing in the crown prince's stomach into blood water. Then I'll expel the poison from his body. The emperor and the rest will only see poison water. The crown prince isn't pregnant, but has a malignant tumor," Han Yunxi's tone was very certain.
Hearing this, Gu Beiyue was silent for a moment before giving a thumbs up. Without a doubt, Han Yunxi's method was the most appropriate. Not only did it protect herself, it also kept this secret forever.
People who didn't know the truth would never have a knot in their heart.
"His Highness the Crown Prince should thank you." Gu Beiyue smiled.
Han Yunxi helplessly shrugged, "I just hope that his Imperial Mother won't make trouble for me in the future."
Gu Beiyue knew that poison wasn't difficult for Han Yunxi. Why did this woman need his help?
"You need me …" Gu Beiyue hesitated.
Han Yunxi's resolute gaze suddenly dimmed. "That thing's extremely large. This incision will be at least ten times harder than the one with the young general. It's very possible that the crown prince will die from excessive blood loss before even half of the blood is drained out."
The medicine Han Yunxi had prepared for the crown prince was actually poison. She could use the poison to dissolve the thing in his abdomen so that she could create a medicine with precise effects that wouldn't harm the organs. It would only dissolve the thing into blood and water.
This way, the blood would be poisonous and had to be expelled immediately. Right now, her biggest problem was excessive blood loss. She had to have enough time to expel the poison.
In the modern era, a blood transfusion would be enough. But right now, she could only place her hopes on Gu Beiyue.
Gu Beiyue understood as soon as he heard the question.
He looked at Han Yunxi, a complicated look in his eyes. It was a long time before he spoke. "I know of a medicine called the Life Blood Pill. After taking it, it'll have the effect of creating blood for a short period of time …"
Before he could finish, Han Yunxi was pleasantly surprised. "Where is this medicine?"
Seeing her anxious expression, Gu Beiyue's eyes flashed with doting. "Qin Wangfei, this medicine isn't easy to get."
"The imperial clan has plenty of money and power. What's there to be afraid of?" Han Yunxi blurted out. All right, in her heart, the imperial clan was a bunch of nouveau riche and bandits.
Gu Beiyue felt even more helpless as he murmured, "Qin Wangfei, in Cloud Realm Continent, Tianning's imperial clan is just one of many powers."
Han Yunxi naturally knew that Cloud Realm Continent was huge and filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers. But right now, she was most concerned about the whereabouts of the Life Blood Pill. With it, treating the Crown Prince's condition would be a matter of minutes.
"Then tell me, just who has it?" Han Yunxi grew anxious.
Gu Beiyue only gave her three words. "Gu Qi Sha."
Gu Qi Sha?
Han Yunxi seemed to have heard of this famous name somewhere in the depths of her memories. She muttered, "That Ghost Genius Gu Qi Sha who was banished from Cloud Realm Medical Academy?"
Gu Beiyue nodded. "Exactly. That fellow was born a Ghost Genius and had a gift for growing medicinal plants. Many of the commonly used plants today were grafted on by him when he was young. People call him the Pill Fiend. "
"I heard he's the adopted son of an elder from the medical academy and grew up eating medicinal plants for his three meals?" Han Yunxi asked curiously.
Gu Beiyue nodded. That was all he knew. Although his grandfather was a director of the medical academy, he was a level lower than an elder. He had no way of getting in touch with the people above him, and he hadn't stayed long at the academy before following his grandfather to Tianning's capital city.
"Then where's Gu Qi Sha now?" Han Yunxi asked hastily.
"After he was banished from the medical academy, he set up his own shop and founded the Medicine Ghost Valley. His specialty is to collect and cultivate all sorts of miraculous pills and medicines. He buys and sells them based on his mood, so it's no easy task to buy the Life Blood Pill from him," Gu Beiyue said.
Unexpectedly, Han Yunxi's expression was relaxed. "I thought you'd have to put in a lot of effort, but I didn't expect it to be so easy. A single Medicinal Pills is all it takes."
"Those Medicinal Pills aren't easy to get!" Gu Beiyue had to remind her once more.
Han Yunxi chuckled. "I'm only responsible for writing out the prescription. I'm not responsible for finding the medicine."
This …
Seeing Han Yunxi's sly smile, Gu Beiyue finally understood what she meant. As long as she wrote out the prescription, the emperor would naturally find a way to get his hands on the Life Blood Pill.
If he couldn't get his hands on it, then it couldn't be blamed on the two of them, the doctors.
Han Yunxi immediately went to the desk and wrote down the medicinal ingredients and their quantities. Gu Beiyue was naturally curious, so he looked at her seriously from the side. However, the more he looked, the more he didn't understand.
He recognized all the medicinal ingredients on the prescription, but unfortunately, he couldn't understand what they were used for.
To use poison to dissolve the thing in the crown prince's abdomen without harming his internal organs, the amount of effort needed to put in the medicine wasn't just ordinary.
Very quickly, Han Yunxi finished writing out the prescription and wrote the Life Blood Pill at the end.
"Qin Wangfei, this prescription … is it complete?" Gu Beiyue asked suspiciously.
Han Yunxi looked at him meaningfully. "It's a secret!"
Of course, this prescription wasn't complete. Moreover, no matter who got their hands on it, they wouldn't be able to tell that it was a poison because the three most important ingredients weren't written on it.
The prescription was just a formality. She had the antidote in her detox system long ago.
Han Yunxi had to hold back a trick or two. If she wrote down the real prescription and it fell into the hands of an expert one day, wouldn't they be able to use it against her and see the truth behind her treatment of the crown prince?
Gu Beiyue looked at Han Yunxi's mysterious appearance and didn't ask further, but the fondness in his eyes deepened.
With the Life Blood Pill, Han Yunxi's biggest problem was solved. She almost couldn't wait to become the crown prince's savior and see how the empress dowager and empress would react.
Of course, she was looking forward to Grand Concubine Yi and Murong Wanru's reactions even more. Right now, they had to be waiting anxiously at the Duke of Qin's estate!
Mm, she had to get the Life Blood Pill first!
"Hurry and go, we have to hand over the prescription!" Han Yunxi tugged on Gu Beiyue's arm and prepared to leave.
Gu Beiyue gave a start and hesitated for a second before pushing her aside.
He didn't say a word, but Han Yunxi gave a start before unconsciously looking back. Gu Beiyue immediately avoided her gaze.
This guy …
Han Yunxi burst into laughter, but didn't explain. All right, she was so happy that she'd forgotten that this was ancient times and that she was a married woman. Male best friends and whatnot weren't allowed.
"Cough, cough …" She coughed lightly as if nothing had happened and turned back. "My hands were quick, I wasn't trying to molest you."
Gu Beiyue was about to leave when he gave a start. But soon enough, a gentle smile bloomed on his face.
Han Yunxi didn't know that she'd missed the most beautiful smile in the world.
