Fate?
Long Yue didn’t believe in it. How could there be such coincidences in this world?
Thinking of the deep pit underground, all buried with bones, clearly they had been there for years, and yet there were fresh ones just buried. How could it not feel eerie?
"Master, what happened to before?"
Seeing that Qian Jia had left, Long Yue couldn’t ask him, so she turned to ask Duanmu Nan.
"You were poisoned, a kind of tomb miasma poison, very virulent. If it weren’t for Master Qian Jia’s help, this would have been quite tricky for ."
"Poison from a tomb?"
"Yes!"
Long Yue felt her scalp tingle, even felt a chill down her spine. This was the Nanyuan Palace; how could there be such a vast burial ground?
What exactly happened here?
"After this incident, I guess no one dares to stay at the Nanyuan Palace. Once the people here are treated, they’ll return. Yue’er, you should rest well and stop overthinking."
Duanmu Nan made it very clear that this matter was too absurd and bizarre. Long Yue was now pregnant and had been poisoned, so she should rest quietly. Things not ant for her to ponder, she shouldn’t.
Long Yue stroked her belly, knowing her current situation wasn’t good. Although countless thoughts ran through her mind, they all had to be set aside for the child.
Three days later, once those poisoned were cured, preparations to return began.
"Your Majesty, Yue’er is pregnant, how about we leave first?"
In the Chaoyang Palace, Li Qingmu t Qi Yun. Qi Yun had also taken the dicine Duanmu Nan concocted, and his dizziness was cured. This interruption during what was supposed to be a sumr retreat made him sowhat unhappy, but seeing Li Qingmu, he still flashed a warm smile.
"Alright, go ahead, take good care of her on the road!" Pausing, Qi Yun added, "I rember, your wife is due to give birth in a month, right?"
"Yes, so Yue’er and I discussed, and decided to go to a nearby town for the birth."
This was a good plan. Qi Yun nodded slightly, but his eyes showed a bit of lancholy. So they were going to give birth in a small town? This ant he couldn’t hold the child as soon as it was born.
"I take my leave!"
Li Qingmu did not know that Qi Yun was also eagerly anticipating the child, and after speaking, he left.
That night, he took Long Yue and, along with Duanmu Nan and the others, left first.
"Uncle Li, aren’t we leaving with the Emperor and them?"
Gouzi looked out the car window. The scenery on this side was very plain, incomparable to the grandeur of the Palace, but he felt very peaceful inside.
Mainly because he was used to living a life at society’s bottom, suddenly living with a group of nobles was genuinely uncomfortable.
"Yue’er is about to give birth, we need to find a stable place."
"Oh!"
"Although we say it’s a month until due, it’s not certain. She could give birth early, so it’s best to prepare in advance."
Yun Jin explained from the side.
After a day of travel, the group finally reached the nearest small town to the Nanyuan Palace.
The town was very peaceful, with green mountains in the distance, a clear stream nearby, few people in town, and orderly pedestrians on the small streets.
The environnt here was good, so the group settled down first, and Yun Jin took charge of preparing everything for the birth.
"Master, how is my pulse?"
"No problem, stay calm."
Duanmu Nan spoke reassuringly, but when he turned away, a hint of worry flashed across his face. He went to find Yun Jin.
"After what happened last ti, Yue’er’s pulse has beco problematic. Originally, she could have given birth normally, but now it seems she’ll give birth early. Junior sister, get everything ready, nothing can go wrong."
"Don’t worry, my senior brother."
"Hey, Uncle Duanmu, why does the hairpin on your head look familiar to ?"
Duanmu Nan was taken aback for a mont, then smiled slightly, "Really? This hairpin is quite ordinary, you can see it everywhere, of course, it looks familiar to you."
Gouzi tilted his head to look at him, his eyes puzzled, "Really?"
Duanmu Nan nodded, "Yes, really!"
Gouzi looked at him silently, his black, beady eyes rolling. He always felt this man wasn’t telling him the truth.
That hairpin, he had seen it before, but not the actual item. Rather, it was ntioned in his mother’s notes as a family heirloom. Whether in shape, color, or hidden chanism, it was all the sa!
It couldn’t be wrong; this was their family heirloom!
Yet this uncle refused to acknowledge it, not even ntioning the origin of the hairpin!
Gouzi felt disheartened and went back to his room.
Yun Jin looked on from the side and couldn’t help but ask, "He recognized it, indicating he does have a connection with you, so why not acknowledge him?"
Duanmu Nan replied, "I’ve said before, I hope he can live a simple and peaceful life. If I tell him, although he can reunite with his ancestry, which is a good thing, do you want him to face the pain of losing his family along with ?"
After speaking, Duanmu Nan no longer paid attention to Yun Jin and went to check on Long Yue.
Yun Jin stood there, her eyes a bit helpless, "Senior brother, oh senior brother, why do you always consider others? When have you ever thought about yourself?"
...
"A Mu, I always feel discomfort in my stomach, but Master told not to worry. Am I just overthinking?"
Inside the house, Long Yue clutched her belly, brows tightly furrowed into a knot. Li Qingmu could tell she was in great discomfort.
Li Qingmu also noticed sothing was off and was about to call for Duanmu Nan, when Duanmu Nan happened to co in.
"That tomb miasma poison has affected your body. I’ve tried my best to eliminate this impact, but it’s not the sa as before."
Seeing Long Yue in discomfort, Duanmu Nan felt uneasy too, "I didn’t tell you the truth before because I didn’t want to burden you too much. That would be bad for you and the child, but now..."
"Yue’er!"
As Duanmu Nan spoke, suddenly, Li Qingmu saw blood flowing from beneath Long Yue!
"Oh no, Yue’er is about to give birth, junior sister!"
"Senior brother, is Yue’er about to give birth?"
Hearing the commotion, Yun Jin rushed in and indeed saw the blood beneath Long Yue.
"A Mu, don’t just stand there, quickly go boil water. And, Gouzi, go get so firewood. Ning Xiang, prepare clean clothes and bedding, quick, quick!"
With Yun Jin’s swift instructions, the place turned into chaos, but fortunately, everyone was quick-handed and soon prepared hot water and clean clothes.
Seeing Long Yue’s increasingly pale face, Yun Jin worriedly said, "She’s giving birth a month early, there’s a fear of many dangers. Senior brother, go brew so dicine, just in case!"
Duanmu Nan nodded and turned to leave.
"Ah—"
A sharp pain, Long Yue could truly feel that she was about to give birth.
"A Mu..."
Long Yue reached out to grab Li Qingmu’s hand, but Yun Jin urged him to leave.
"The birthing room is filthy, A Mu, you get out!"
