"No matter whose idea it is, I will not lend you the soldiers." Miss Feng Yue decided to eat breakfast and find a more suitable method to save your family's master. "
As soon as she finished speaking, the maidservants outside had already delivered their breakfast, and they were even respectfully attending to Feng Yue for her meal.
Gu Liuyan casually tied up the rest of her hair and put on a cloak before walking out to the academy to continue teaching. As she did so, she absent-mindedly pondered over the reason why Duan Chengrui and Feng Yue had done so.
After four hours had passed, Duan Chengxuan personally brought the food box over and sat across from her. The surrounding bamboo curtains were all drawn down, blocking out a large amount of light.
"Has Feng Yue left?" Gu Mingyan asked as she served the dishes with him.
"I left in a hurry two hours ago." Duan Chengxuan nodded, then placed all the dishes she liked by his side. He then filled up a bowl full of rice and placed a bowl of Eel's Noodle Sticky Noodle Soup beside her. "I heard Ai Qi say just now that you want to try acupuncture?"
"I need acupuncture combined with the scarlet jade lake to get rid of the poison." As he said this, Gu Danyan paused and looked at him carefully: "Although it's just a few needles, you should go out and wander around for a bit that day. Don't stay in the yard."
"What is it? "What else do you have that I can't know?"
"If I scream out in pain, wouldn't I lose a lot of face in front of you?" Gu Liuyan rolled her eyes. She pulled the bowl of noodle soup in front of her and started to eat.
When she was pregnant, she shouldn't have randomly used acupuncture and medicine, but her body was different now. If she didn't use some acupuncture and moxibustion method to support the scarlet jade lake, then she would have wasted the remaining scarlet jade lake for nothing.
She didn't like showing her weak side in front of Duan Cheng Xuan.
That day, Duan Chengxuan had followed the instructions given to him by Gu Mingyan and hadn't stepped in even a single day.
Inside the room, Gu Daiyan was sitting on the bed and had already taken off his clothes, revealing his back that had never been exposed.
The only thing that was left on her once white back was a black crack that would cause harm. The wound on her chest was buried within these marks, while a faint smile appeared on her face. She raised her head through the bronze mirror not far away and pulled down her clothes.
These cracks also spread across his bulging lower abdomen. If one were to look carefully, one would be able to see that there were quite a few small wounds that had been cut by the blade.
Ai Qi's mind was blank. "The roots of the Phoenix Bile also look like this?"
"If the book is correct, it should be very similar to this mark." Gu Daiyan tied his long hair behind his head, and his neck, which hadn't been exposed until now, was covered in these lines.
"You really can give birth to …"
"Because I am a descendant of the Yun Family, my body which is resistant to the medicine does have some benefits."
Even the wounds healed faster.
Aizi's hand touched her back, and she knew at once that the blade had been cut open several times under the black scar. The wound, which should have bled profusely, was covered in darkness, causing her to swallow a mouthful of saliva. "Does he know that you're still using your blood to cure the poison?"
"How would I let him know?" Gu Liuyan smiled and asked: "Even now, I still haven't dispelled his cowardly thought."
"He loves you." Archie squeezed the words out of his throat.
"That makes me feel better." Gu Daiyan laughed with a half-truth.
Ai Qi took out a set of needles. Before taking action, she still asked, "Why did you open the academy …"
"I don't want to die without leaving anything behind. Every day I live, I do something." After saying this, Gu Daiyan put the rolled up handkerchief into his mouth and obediently lowered his head.
Perhaps, as a woman, Aki should admire her tolerance for pain.
When the first needle pierced her acupoint, the pain caused her entire body to tremble slightly. The small amount of medicine on the handkerchief caused her to lift her hand and tightly hold onto the bed frame. The feeling of her fingernails scratching against wood made her scalp tingle even more.
"I can't do it right now." The accumulation of too much pain was of no benefit to the fetus in her womb.
"Mmm." Gu Daiyan made some sounds to understand the situation. She could only wait for this wave of pain to leave quietly before she could endure the next one.
The pain was like the waves crashing down on a rock, accompanied by the slow descent of each needle. It exploded in her mind, exploding into countless dots of white light.
It was unknown when this torture would come to an end, but when she was supported by Ai Qi and laid on the bed, her consciousness was already hazy. With the help of the thin bamboo tube, Ai Qi allowed her to slowly swallow the medicinal herbs that would change the quantity.
Aizi dressed her, tucked her in, and rubbed her shoulder. "You should have died a long time ago."
Ai Zhi could imagine that every winter, her legs would be as heavy as a huge rock, and every time she took a step, the jagged rocks would scrape against the ground, causing her entire body to tremble in pain.
"The Yun clan's flesh and blood can still last for a long time, and I've taken quite a bit of medicine." Gu Liuyan's face was pale as a sheet. "Don't tell anyone that I might die in childbirth."
"Think about it carefully, I'm still waiting for you to help me."
"In other words, when the time comes, I will use the secret medicine and Jade Dragon Snow's medicinal wine to prolong my life, but something might happen." Gu Danyan raised his hand to his temple and sighed lightly: "Maybe this time, I will lose my eyes."
"Because of the old wound?"
"No, this is the result of an excessive amount of Jade Dragon Snow, but I can still live." Gu Liuyan had also read about this in an ancient book. Although not everyone would do this, it was true that a portion of people who had consumed Jade Dragon Snow had either lost their light or died in decline.
With this body's special characteristics, she shouldn't be suffering from depression.
"Since there's still hope, why didn't you let me tell Duan Cheng Xuan!" Aizi shook his head in disbelief. "You don't have any trust between you?"
"If I tell him, he will have the determination to be hated by me for the rest of his life and let the doctors come and take away my child, or when I am giving birth, he will get rid of this child." Gu Liuyan gave a cold laugh and closed her eyes dejectedly: "He's afraid that this child will take my life, and that his blood-stained hands will not be worthy enough to hug his own child, that's what he deserves …" "Coward …"
As his thoughts drifted away, the darkness before his eyes was covered with memories of his beauty.
Ai Qi pursed his lips and quietly left the room, instructing the guards to call Duan Chengxuan back. He even instructed the guards, "She should have recovered quite well, so Your Highness does not have to worry."
"Is Master Aizi speaking the truth?"
"Of course it's true. We are both doctors, how could we not know about this?" A trace of dark light flashed past Ai Qi's eyes. He whispered, "Tell the prince not to always argue with her. She is too weak to be angry."
Before leaving, Aizi glanced at the closed door, a faint smile forming on his lips.
He hoped that Gu Liuyan would still remember to help her.
