He thought that her gaze just now was already quite worried, but compared to now, she might have just been politely frowning. When she heard that Lu Jinghang was injured, Li Huaiyu's expression truly became tense, a pair of almond-shaped eyes revealing anxiety, and the whole person becoming restless.

  "Are you badly hurt?" she asked.

  Bai Qi shook his head: "The messenger didn't say who it was, but since he needs to rest and recover in the border town, he must have been seriously injured."

  Spitting out a mouthful of turbid air, Li Huaiyu clenched his fist and said: "Let's move, go find him!"

  "Yes!" As soon as he heard this command, Bai Xue hooked his lips and looked at Jiang Xuanjin by the bed with great satisfaction.

  Desperate measure? Even if he resorts to desperate measures, he can't surpass Lu Zhanggui now! One is the person who made her fall from cloud nine to dust and dirt, the other is the one who always cleans up after her messes. A fool would know who's more likely to get Emperor's attention.

  Looking at her expression as if she was about to leave at any moment, Jiang Xuanjin's face turned cold: "Are you leaving?"

  She turned around and looked at him: "You also heard it, Lu Jinghang was injured."

  "So?" Jiang Xuanjin said with a mocking gaze, "I'm asking if you've changed your mind?"

  The implication is: you leave now and never travel with me again. How you get past those cities is up to you!

  That's right, this is a threat. Once Zi Yang Jun was the most shameless and childish threat. He said it with anger, his jaw clenched tightly, his eyes also sharp, looking a bit fierce.

  However, the person in front of him was not intimidated at all. Facing his gaze, she almost didn't think before speaking: "Maybe we can't be colleagues anymore, I'll leave first, take care, sir."

  Having said that, he immediately let Bai Qi pack up and set off.

  The clear strings and red gold outside the door seemed to have been waiting for a long time, as soon as they heard this, they rushed in and quickly supported her arm.

  "Your Highness, the carriage is ready!"

  Looking at their excited appearance, Li Huaiyu was a bit puzzled: "What's wrong with you guys?"

  Qing Xuan glanced at the extremely ugly-looking Zi Yang Jun and shook his head, saying: "Nothing much, I'm finally able to go and meet up with Rong Wu and the others, it's quite exciting."

  Still happy? Hua Yu shook her head, picked up her skirt and walked out: "If Lu Jinghang is lightly injured, you can be happy if you want to. If he's seriously injured, you'll still be happy, but you'll have to take a beating."

  "Indeed!" Qing Xuan walked one step behind, gazing at the person by the bed, and said in a clear voice, "Your Highness is most concerned about Lu Zhuanggui, we all know that, who dares to be presumptuous?"

  "This is too deliberate," said Hua Yu with a glance at him, "Is it necessary?"

  Qing Xuan nodded solemnly: "It's really necessary!"

  Look at Zi Yang Jun when he first entered the South Courtyard, that complacent air! It's as if he had completely forgotten what he did, and he even took advantage of the prince's sympathy, just looking at him makes me angry!

  Fortunately, there is still a Lu Zhanggui on their side.

  Lu Zhanggui came out on horseback, one against two!

  Hua Yu shook her head and thought Qing Xuan was really idle. However, she didn't need to care about these things now, and if she wanted to leave on time, she had to go say goodbye to Tong Chu first.

  She walked quickly and was out of the door in an instant. The bright and spacious room suddenly seemed to darken.

  Jiang Xuanjin silently watched her back, and it wasn't until after a long while that he reacted, wondering why he didn't threaten her again. His fellow traveler couldn't be threatened, but what about Qing Si?

  The autumn wind blew in from the window, carrying the smell of mud and withered leaves, blowing his half-open robe flying wildly. He lowered his eyes, looked down at his empty palms.

  ……

  "Are you really not going to let go?"

  "Don't loosen!"

  ……

  That face smiled brightly, holding his hand with a soft and warm palm, speaking in a firm tone that really put him at ease.

  The result still let go without hesitation.

  His lips turned slightly pale, Jiang Xuanjin hummed a low sound and pressed his hand against his chest.

  "Master?" Zhongxu rushed back with the medicine and saw his master's condition, so he came over to support him, "Does it hurt badly?"

  In the past, such a question would have been met with disdain by Zi Yang Jun, who wouldn't have deigned to respond. How could he possibly show weakness in front of his subordinates? Yet now, he nodded very seriously:

  "Uh-huh."

  It hurts extremely badly.

  He looked around, furrowed his brow and said: "Where's the lady?"

  She's gone.

  "Where did she go?!" The driver was shocked, "Your medicine hasn't even been delivered yet, where is she going?"

  Jiang Xuanjin lowered his eyes and fell onto the bed, letting out a deep breath.

  Lu Jinghang was in trouble, she was so anxious that she didn't even have time to give him medicine. It's also true that they had been together for four or five years, and at first, he and she wouldn't say more than two words when they met.

  What I love about Xuan Jin is that more than half of it is just her temporary interest.

  She sneered and thought to herself, since she thinks Lu Jinghang is more important, then let Lu Jinghang help her find a way to pass the Zi Yang checkpoint.

  He is absolutely unwilling to help!

  Li Huaiyu went to Xu Chuyan's courtyard and saw her embroidering something, with Jiang Shen sitting beside her, chatting with her from time to time.

  "Huai Yu!" Seeing her arrive, Xu Chuyan's eyes lit up and he stood up to greet her, asking "What brings you here? Is everything all right with the Lord?"

  "I've come to bid farewell," said Huai Yu, "A friend of mine has encountered some trouble, I must hurry over and take a look."

  "Ah..." Xu Chunian blinked, "I just said that maybe I could travel with you!"

  The man sitting in the back, Jiang Shen, narrowed his eyes: "Your Highness is such a wise person, why would you be willing to travel with us? My third brother disobeyed orders and is waiting for our party's arrival. The Imperial Guards from Kyoto will arrive soon, it's better if she leaves early."

  Isn't this a veiled insult? Xu Chuyi furrowed his brow and looked at him, his mouth moving slightly, clearly displeased.

  But who is Li Huaiyu? He's someone who has been scolded since he was a kid, what hasn't he heard before, why would he be afraid of these few words?

  Looking at Jiang Shen's not-too-friendly expression, she raised an eyebrow and smiled, sweeping her skirt as she sat down in front of him: "With Second Master's high vision, defying the imperial edict will bring disaster to the Jiang family?"

  "Do you still need to ask?" Jiang Shen sneered, "Disobeying the imperial edict won't bring disaster, but can it bring honor? My Jiang family has been loyal and virtuous for generations, and we even received a stone inscription personally written by Emperor Xiaoming. Now that this edict is being disobeyed, the efforts of several generations will be in vain, who knows how the world will judge us!"

  Jiang Shen and Jiang Xuanjin have always been close, he said so, and the thoughts of other members of the Jiang family are naturally similar.

  Li Huaiyu sighed: "It seems that in your eyes, reputation is more important than life?"

  "Of course... wait a minute, what do you mean by that?" Jiang Chen furrowed his brow, "Is the Jiang Manor not concerned with seeking fame and fortune? Is it wrong to value reputation?"

  "I didn't mean to be sarcastic, I'm just stating a fact." Huai Yu waved her hand, "Second Master, don't get agitated."

  Jiang Shen coldly smiled: "What kind of truth is this? If Third Brother doesn't defy the imperial edict, won't we be throwing our lives away?"

  "Yes!" Yu nodded.

  She hesitated for a moment, and Jiang Shen looked at her expression, thinking that she didn't seem to be joking, so he straightened up his body and asked: "What do you know?"

  "If I may say so, Your Highness had already planned to leave Kyoto from the moment you first accused us of a crime. Do you believe me?" Waiyu smiled.

  Ignoring the conclusive evidence, Zi Yang Jun changed his usual demeanor and insisted on convicting Dan Yang of a crime. At first, she hadn't grasped what was happening when she heard the news, but after connecting it with subsequent events, Jiang Xuan Jin's intentions became crystal clear.

  This man sensed the emperor's transformation and ambition, knowing that he was also a target for elimination, so he took advantage of the situation, tripped up Si Tu Jing, and then immediately withdrew.

  His decision was much more resolute than the Emperor's, so when Jiang's group left the capital, the Emperor didn't have any vigilance at all.

  "It's also a good timing, the Jiang family happens to have the tradition of ascending heights on Chongyang Festival." Huaiyu said, "Otherwise, with so many people leaving the capital together, the Emperor would definitely stop them no matter what."

  Jiang Shen was shocked and frowned: "Your Majesty is fine, why do you want to get rid of the third brother? The third brother is his teacher and has been loyal to the court for many years..."

  He stopped mid-sentence because the person in front of him was pointing at her own nose.

  "And what about me?" Hua Yu hooked her lips, "I am his own sister, from the moment he ascended to the throne, I have been working hard for him. Look at how I ended up!"

  Jiang Sheng: "......"

  "You should be grateful, Jiang Xuanjin is clever. If he were trapped in the capital, none of you would have escaped." Huaiyu said, "His family discipline is strict, Second Master can go take a look when he has time."

  After saying that, she turned her head and gently pulled Xu Chuyan's hand, softly saying: "Next time I have the chance, I'll come find you again."

  "Good." Xu Chuyi nodded obediently.

  Li Huaiyu got up and wanted to leave, Jiang Shencai behind him came back to his senses, frowned and shouted: "If so, why do you still want to go?"

  Isn't she the one who dotes on her third brother the most? In the past, she would always pamper him when nothing was wrong, but now that something big has happened, she doesn't even stay by his side?

  Without looking back, Hua Yu raised her hand and shook it slightly, as if to say that there was no need for further explanation. She walked away with a carefree air.

  Jiang's face was gloomy and he sulked for a while before asking Xu Chuyan beside him, "If you were her, would you forgive San Di?"

  "I won't." Xu Chuyan replied without hesitation.

  If she were pregnant and went to save her lover, only to be sent to prison by him, she might never forgive him for the rest of her life.

  Everyone says that Princess Danyang has a narrow heart, but at first, I think that Huaiyu's heart is already very broad. She even stands from the king's point of view and thinks for him too. She doesn't blame him in every way, nor does she have an extreme attitude towards him. Instead, she faces this dead emotion with the most calm and peaceful posture.

  What's in her heart is not just a deep affection for her children, but also a grand and majestic landscape of mountains and rivers.

  Xu Chuyan knew she couldn't be like Huaiyu, but she admired her and hoped that one day she could also be as carefree.

  Jiang Shenyuan thought she would answer "yes", but her "no" came quickly and directly, leaving him speechless for a long time.

  "Why won't it?" He frowned.

  Xu Chuyan smiled and said: "You'd better go see Junshang first, a woman's thoughts, you won't understand."

  He's talking nonsense, he's had countless women, how could there be any female thoughts he doesn't understand? Jiang Shen snorted in disdain, but seeing Xu Chuyan's reaction, he inexplicably didn't want to ask more questions either, and got up with a dark face to leave.

  Li Huaiyu and Bai Qingsheng walked down the mountain to the stable, only to find that there was only one horse-drawn carriage left inside, which belonged to Zi Yangjun.

  "What's going on?" Bai Xue turned around twice and asked the person watching the horse carriage next to her, "Where is that carriage that just drove over and stopped here?"

  The car watcher bowed his head and said in a low voice: "Several distinguished guests have gone down the mountain and driven away."

  "That's our carriage, what right do they have to drive it away?" Bai Xue was furious, "How dare you look at the carriage!"

  The two legs were trembling with fear, and the car driver said: "I'm not clear either, but the noble guest said that everyone on the mountain is one family, and anyone can drive the car."

  "Is that your family?" Bai He nodded and lifted the curtain of Zi Yang Jun's carriage, gesturing to the person behind him, "Help the young master get in."

  Li Huaiyu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "Really get on this one?"

  Bai Qi nodded: "To exchange an ordinary horse carriage for your noble chariot is a good deal!"

  There were no other carriages to the left or right, so Huaiyu nodded and helped Qingxuan onto the carriage. With a guilty conscience, she shouted at Chi Jin outside: "Hurry up! Hurry up!"

  Hong Jin handed over his luggage and quickly jumped into the carriage.

  "Drive!" Bai Jia raised the whip and set off, the groom didn't stop them, watching with wide eyes as they drove out of the stable, heading west.

  The wind came out from behind the shed next to the stable, looking at the car shadow that was getting smaller and smaller, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

  How did you know that this group of people would definitely rush to grab the carriage and run away?

  "Master, what are you doing?" Seeing Yufeng return to report, Chengyu was very puzzled. "The lady wants to leave, aren't you angry? Why are you still preparing the carriage for her?"

  Jiang Xuanjin still had a dark face and lay motionless on the bed.

  Yu Feng pulled over quietly and said, "The lady's body is weak. Qi Jin, the doctor, said that she must not be allowed to become too tired and exhausted. It's normal for Master to prepare a carriage."

  "You didn't see how furious he was just now." Cheng Xiao shook his head repeatedly and said in a low voice, "I thought the master would send you to kill Madame, but it turned out that he actually sent you to do this thing."

  "The master's mind has always been hard to understand, why must you try to guess it thoroughly?"

  "I couldn't guess what she was thinking, and neither could the lady." Sighing in frustration, "If you're so worried about her, why not just say a few gentle words?"

  Still expecting Ziyang Jun to speak softly? The wind whispers, this master has a good mind, but the words that come out are hard and unyielding, hopeless.

  "Have you said enough?" The person who seemed to be sleeping on the bed suddenly spoke up.

  Cheng Xiao and Yu Feng jumped back in unison, then bowed their heads and said: "My lord, calm your anger!"

  Half-opening his eyes, Jiang Xuanjin said coldly, "If you have nothing better to do than chatter idly, it would be better to prepare the things needed for the journey."

  "Everything is ready," said Yu Feng, "I've already let the old masters go ahead of you. You're injured, so rest for two days first..."

  "No need," Jiang Xuanjin said, "Pack up your things and let's set off immediately."

  "This...". He glanced at his back, "The eunuch who delivered the edict is still being detained, and Kyoto won't receive any news for the time being. You don't have to be so anxious."

  Jiang Xuanjin looked at him with a stubborn gaze in his eyes.

  "I understand."

  No one can outdo you, so just obey orders obediently.

  Lingjiang Mountain is still fifty miles away from the Purple Sun Border Town, but fortunately, this horse-drawn carriage is traveling on an official road and is very stable. Huaiyu slept in the carriage for a while and woke up when they were almost there.

  "Your Highness," Bai Xue smiled and said, "We're really lucky. Just now we passed by a post station, there were officials checking the travelers. I thought we would have to fight, but they let us pass directly."

  She rubbed her stiff neck and sat up, laughing: "It's not good luck, there's a bronze qilin on top of the carriage. Unless an official has eaten leopard gallbladder, no one else dares to stop it."

  It turns out so, Bai Qi raised an eyebrow: "Then we really seized this car."

  She lifted the curtain to take a look ahead and saw that the tall city gate was already faintly visible. Huai Yu was about to smile, but suddenly felt a wave of nausea in her heart, and she leaned on the carriage beam and started dry heaving.

  "Your Highness!" The red-haired coachman was startled and hastily reined in his horses.

  "Don't stop, I'm fine." Huai Yu waved her hand, indicating for him to hurry along. "These past two days, I've been feeling nauseous all the time. Chun Yan said it's normal when you're pregnant."

  This big car's man, which one has been pregnant? Look at her small face pale, vomiting to death, all very nervous.

  "Why don't we rest for a while in that pavilion up ahead?"

  "Wait, go into the city first and find Lu Jinghang." Huai Yu frowned, "If you want me to suffer less, then hurry up."

  As soon as he heard this, Chi Jin didn't dare to delay any longer and drove his carriage into the city in a cloud of dust.

  The guards at the city gate saw the carriage and didn't come up to intercept it for a moment, and in their hesitation, the carriage rushed past.

  "Halt!" The guard shouted twice and hastily followed up.

  To shake off these people, Chi Jin drove the car around the city seven or eight times. When passing by an alley entrance, Huai Yu made a decisive decision: "Get out of the car!"

  The people in the carriage all hid into the alley, Chi Jin continued to lead the guards who were chasing from behind, and took the opportunity to throw the carriage towards the street entrance, and also hid into the crowd.

  "Where are we going?" Looking at this unfamiliar place, Bai Xue was in a dilemma. "Lu Zhuang also didn't inform us of our destination."

  Walking through the alley, Huai Yu glanced at the street and smiled: "It's hard to find others, but it's easiest to find Lu Jinghang."

  The streets were not bustling, but Lu Ji's lanterns shone brightly.

  "What's with all these Lu's everywhere?"

  "Otherwise, why would he be the richest merchant in Kyoto?" With a light hum, Huaiyu lifted her skirt and entered a shop.

  Lu Jinghang had already made arrangements in advance, and as soon as the guys here saw her, they didn't even wait for her to ask before saying: "Miss, hurry up and go to Lu's Medicine Hall on the next street, the boss is over there."

  "How long has it been? Still at the pharmacy?" Cui Yu furrowed her brow: "Please bring a guide."

  Lu Jingxing was a man who had gotten used to being carefree, with the gentle breeze of March and the fragrance of fine wine always hidden in his eyebrows and eyes. He carried a Nan Yang jade bone fan that he never changed no matter the season, and whenever he fanned himself, it was like a refreshing breeze on a clear moonlit night.

  However, at the moment, this person is quietly lying on the bed, with phoenix eyes tightly closed, a pale face, and bloodstains still seeping through his single garment, looking like a wolf.

  "Lu Jing Xing?" Huai Yu looked at him for a long time before finally calling out his name.

  His eyelashes fluttered slightly, and Lu Jinghang half-opened his eyes. Before he could see the person beside him clearly, the corners of his lips had already curled up: "You really are lucky to be alive."

  His voice was hoarse, and Huai Yu took a light breath, her throat slightly tight: "I'm lucky to be alive, how did you end up like this?"

  "It's just bad luck." He narrowed his eyes, "I didn't expect your younger brother to be so ruthless."

  He returned to the capital to find someone, and the emperor actually set up an ambush in the Cang Hai Yi Zhu Ge, waiting for him, wanting to capture him alive. With such a big fanfare, it's clear that once he was caught, he would become a bargaining chip to restrain Dan Yang.

  After all, they were siblings, and Danyang Ben had no intention of intervening in the imperial family's affairs again. Yet, he still acted so aggressively.

  Shaking his head slightly, Lu Jing said, "Really not a good kind."

  Li Huaiyu pursed her lips and looked at the blood seeping from his clothes, asking Zhao Cai beside her, "A knife wound?"

  "Three knife wounds, none of them fatal, but excessive blood loss."

  "Have you taken your medicine?"

  "I've already drunk it."

  After asking all these questions, Huaiyu fell silent, staring at the floral pattern on the quilt, her eyes moving slightly, with no expression on her face.

  Zhao Cai found it strange. Generally, when people visit the sick, they would at least say a few words of concern, even if it's just nonsense. But this master, who was so close to his young master, why did he speak so little?

  Lu Jinghang looked at her and chuckled softly: "Zhao Cai, you take them out to meet the bamboo first."

  "Ah!"

  The door opened and closed again, leaving only the two of them in the house.

  Lu Jingxing smiled and said, "What are you ashamed of?"

  "Isn't it obvious?" Yuexi curled up the corner of her mouth.

  Lu Jinghang sighed: "Ancestor, how could I not know what you're thinking?"

  Smiling foolishly, Huai Yu said: "It's also true that you don't know how many times you've helped me out of trouble. Every time I get into trouble, it's either costing you money or putting you in danger. Each time you advise me, I think my own thoughts are correct."

  The more she spoke, the softer her voice became. She felt that her nose and throat were aching: "But I was really wrong, from Huai Lin to Jiang Xuanjin, not one person did I trust correctly, and now you're implicated in this too."

  She didn't dare to think carefully about what happened during this period, she didn't dare, and lived her days in a daze, as if she was dreaming.

  The red color on Ke Lu Jing's clothes was truly eye-catching, and it brought her back to her senses.

  Her former beloved brother, who had once killed her, was now trying every means to kill her a second time. Her former deeply loved man, who did not believe her words, sent all the people who were supposed to save him into prison, and those people were her lifelong bosom friends.

  What is she doing after all? What is she living for in this life of hers?

  "Dan Yang." Lu Jinghang furrowed his brow, "Calm down!"

  "I'm very calm, you know, I'm the calmest." Huai Yu nodded obediently, but the tears in her eyes fell heavily onto the bedside, "I just feel a bit uncomfortable..."

  It's so unbearable that I can hardly breathe.

  In the big prison she could still distract herself thinking about how to escape and rescue people, but now sitting here all she can see is the blood on Lu Jinghang's body.

  All the suppressed pain has turned over, and she can't escape even if she wants to.

  Danyang is a scourge, Li Huaiyu is a swindler, she's a joke.

  She thought she could support the country and protect the young master, but instead she's been carrying the black pot like a fool, saying "bad people are easier to become than good people". She has been plotting for so many years, even sacrificing her own marriage, all just to make Li Huai a wise king.

  Ke Huanlin said she killed his father.

  Covering her eyes with her hand, Li Huaiyu burst out laughing: "You say the heavens are not looking at me with favor? If they really don't like me that much, a single bolt of lightning would have been enough to kill me, why go to such great lengths?"

  The one she loves hates her, the things she asks for all collapse, she takes a gamble with a good flower and a round moon, but it's only half a year of youthful years.

  What kind of mistake was made to deserve such punishment?

  Lu Jinghang sighed and reached out to touch her cheek: "Don't cry."

  "Don't say those two words when I'm crying." Tears fell even harder, Huaiyu wiped her face with the back of her hand, gritting her teeth and saying, "The more you talk, the more painful it is!"

  "What should I say?" Lu Jinghang hooked his lips, "Scold you a couple of times?"

  Hua Yu nodded slightly.

  "This is the first time I've met such a strange request, Lu Jinghang thought for a moment and opened his lips without mercy: "You're really a fool who doesn't know how to appreciate men! Your taste in men is so bad, you don't even listen when people tell you, have you fed your brain to pigs?"

  Li Huaiyu: "......"

  Lu Jinghang continued straightforwardly and confidently, "You're really stupid! You don't even understand your own younger brother's personality? He acts cute in front of you, and you actually think he's a little kid? Have you ever heard of settling scores with one's own kin? And to make matters worse, you're in the imperial family!"

  "To be honest, you look especially ugly when you cry, like a deformed melon. I'm still hurt here, can't you be a bit more kind?"

  Taking a deep breath, Li Huaiyu swallowed the sadness that had just welled up inside her and clenched her fists: "Do you want to see what a truly deformed calabaza looks like?"

  He quietly shifted in bed and Lu Jing said painfully, "Do you have any humanity? You let me scold you, then you want to bully a sick person like me who can't fight back?"

  "You look like you're speaking so easily, doesn't seem like it's that difficult for you, your tongue is very quick!" Huai Yu gritted her teeth, "You let him scold and he really scolds this fiercely?"

  "Nature, who is following whom? Can't even be polite?" Lu Jing said with a playful tone, but his eyes were very serious.

  They were never formal with each other anyway.

  Li Huaiyu understood what he meant, and her eyes became even redder.

  Is it because there is a good person like Lu Jinghang by her side, the heavens think she's too lucky, so they give her corresponding setbacks to seek justice?

  Thinking about it this way made her feel a lot better. Huai Yu pinched the quilt and blew her nose, then rubbed her face hard.

  "Uh......" Lu Jinghang said weakly, "This is a quilt, not a handkerchief."

  "Not all can be used to wipe face?" Huai Yu's face was full of doubt, "What's different about it?"

  He was so angry that he almost fainted, Lu Jinghang gritted his teeth: "Indeed, there's no difference, just like Your Highness' face and the walls of this city, both are thick enough to be used as a defense against enemies."

  "It's too much, it's too much." Wiping his face clean, Huai Yu reached out and gently lifted the hem of his shirt that he had been covering himself with.

  The white cloth tied across her chest was already soaked in blood. She frowned: "Why don't you change the dressing?"

  "What else can I do?" Lu Jinghang pursed his lips, "It hurts."

  He has changed medicine several times, the wound is too slow to coagulate, and the white gauze is always wet. It's really torturous to unpack one pack after another, so I just left it like this.

  The pungent smell of blood made Li Huaiyu unable to hold back, and he rushed to the window and vomited again, spewing out all the acidic water in his stomach.

  "Hey, isn't that a bit too much?" Lu Jinghang rolled his eyes, "You didn't even let me see the wound, what are you vomiting about?"

  After vomiting, Huaiyu rinsed her mouth with tea and sat back on the edge of the bed: "You'll also vomit when you're pregnant."

  "You're just pregnant, and I'm a man..." Lu Jinghang opened his mouth to scold her.

  However, as soon as he spoke, he seemed to have finally realized what that sentence meant and looked up in shock.

  Hua Yu smiled and pointed at her belly: "Earlier, Qi Jin said it wasn't quite certain, but looking at the current situation, it should be true."

  "Does Jiang Xuanjin know?" Lu Jinghang furrowed his brow.

  "They should be unaware." Yuexi curled her lips, "Otherwise, they wouldn't have let me go."

  Originally, it was just the wound on his body that hurt, but now even his head is aching. Lu Jinghang gritted his teeth: "Ancestors, you clearly know this is a pit, yet you're wholeheartedly jumping into it?"

  Knowing that something will go wrong sooner or later, how can you get pregnant?

  No, it's not just about carrying a child, she shouldn't have touched Jiang Xuanjin in the first place. It's heartbreaking enough, but also risking physical harm? This is clearly a losing proposition!

  "At that time... things were a bit different." Huai Yu smiled wryly, "There was a period of time when I thought I could live a good life."

  "You also thought that no matter what happened, Li Huailian would always stand on your side." Lu Jinghang was so angry that he almost lost his temper, "Which time did you think was right?!"

  With hands on knees, head bowed and knowing one is in the wrong, gritting teeth and taking a scolding.

  "With child...... Why didn't you say so earlier?! Still staying in the big prison for so long, and even rushing all the way from Kyoto to get here?" He propped himself up, almost sitting up, turned his head towards the outside and shouted, "Zhāo Cái!"

  Hua Yu was startled and quickly pressed him back down: "You can scold all you want, but don't move around, your wound is still bleeding!"

  Lu Jinghang glared at her: "You dare to speak?"

  "...This momentum is really overwhelming. Li Huaiyu was intimidated for the first time in front of Lu Dazhang, and he shut up, looking away with a pout."

  "Zhuo Cai came in and asked nervously: 'Master, what's wrong?'"

  "Go and invite all the doctors in front of the hall to come over, and then change the quilt and sheets in the adjacent wing room." With a slightly pale face, Lu Jinghang pointed at the bed edge, "Finally throw her into it for me!"

  The fortune teller was startled and looked at the master next to him, trembling with fear, saying: "I don't dare... would it be okay if I just kowtowed?"

  Someone followed behind and came in, hearing this laughed and said: "The shopkeeper is just talking, if you really dare to throw it, he will surely break your hand."

  "Quickly!" Seeing him, Li Huaiyu was like seeing a lifesaver, stood up and said, "Lu Zhanggui is so fierce today! You quickly come to rescue me!"

  She stood in front of him, and Wu Xian bowed first, then shook his head and said: "If it were me, I'd be furious too. Are you not planning to live? Your body was originally weak, how dare you torture yourself like this?"

  Hua Yu felt wronged: "Do I want to cause trouble? Am I not being forced into a corner?"

  "Never mind." He pointed to the outside and said, "Lu's injury is not light either. You'd better let him go for now and not irritate him anymore. Go next door and wait for the doctor to come over and take his pulse later.

  "It's better if he doesn't know."
