He quickly changed his mind and became speechless. Not to mention the Gu in her body, she had only been in and out of the epidemic area frequently recently, and had personally come into contact with the epidemic disease patients. Whether this child in her womb was normal or not was a big question.
Seeing Gu Qing Li's helpless expression, he suddenly felt pain in his heart. He pulled her into his embrace and placed his palm on her lower abdomen, as if he could feel the pulse and heartbeat inside. This was his first child, but he was well aware that Gu Qingli's worries weren't out of the ordinary. If this child was really born, no one knew what would happen to him.
"It's all my fault. I've been ignoring this question for the past few days."
"It's only been about ten days since the plague broke out. How could you have predicted that I shouldn't have insisted on living in the epidemic area to diagnose and treat it?"
Xiao Yi Xiu shook his head and muttered softly, "Even if it wasn't for the plague, the Gu in your body … I wonder what effect it will have on the fetus. "
His palm was still pressed tightly against Gu Qingli's lower abdomen. The scorching heat transmitted to her body, making her feel even more reluctant to part with him. The guilt in her heart multiplied as the tears stored in her eyes finally began to flow. I can't give you a healthy baby... "I'm sorry …"
Xiao Yixiu hurriedly lifted his hand to wipe away her tears, but the more he wiped, the more tears he wiped away.
Later on, he could only lower his head to kiss the tears on her face and softly comfort her, "It's fine, there will be more in the future. After this battle, we can remove the Gu in your body and have plenty of time to regenerate.
"You can have as many as you want. Do you think I'm a sow?" Gu Qingli smiled with tears in her eyes, but the pain in her heart only increased.
The Gu was still in her body, but she still hadn't found a way to remove it. She even had a feeling that it had fused with her blood and could no longer be separated. Perhaps it was the will that the Gu worm had given her, but she still felt someone telling her that the Gu was with her, that the Gu was with her, that the Gu was dead and the person was dead.
Thus, she thought that Fang Yanzhu had actually been married to Deng Shengchuan for several years without having any children. Presumably, this was also the reason why she was unable to give birth.
"Yeah, This King doesn't want to be a sow yet."
Gu Qingli laughed even more. "So, it's an honor to be a sow, even if I have to marry you?"
"Of course."
Looking at the gentle smile on her face, Gu Qingli suddenly felt that she was too shameless to refute.
Xiao Yi Xiu wiped away the tears on her face. Seeing her bright smile, he relaxed a little, but at the same time, he felt a sense of desolation and desolation.
The two of them acted as if nothing had happened, but in their hearts, they felt faint pain. They just didn't want to add to each other's worries.
Without waiting for Gu Qing Li's prescription to show its effects, Xiao Yi Xiu was impeached in the imperial court.
This time, he was impeached by the Imperial Physician Zhang Dong Cheng, who was famous for his bravery. Even the emperor was sometimes rendered speechless by his admonition, so it was clear that his words were not without basis.
The reason for this was that one of the squad captains of the Fire Hou Battalion had unintentionally told them that when they first discovered an outbreak in the outer city, he had once stopped King Mo's carriage outside the city. When he got into the carriage to take a look at the second wife of the King Mo, he had seen a butterfly shaped black mark on her wrist.
After all, at that time, it was still early stage, and no one had really seen the shape of the plaque when the disease flared up. Gu Qingxiao's identity was special, so how would he dare to stare at the woman's wrist?
Hearing that, the emperor's expression was cold as he said, "This matter has been going on for the past few days. Why did you suddenly bring it up? "Where did you go this morning?" The meaning behind his words was clear, as if he didn't believe it.
Zhang Dong Cheng looked at Xiao Yi Xiu and said excitedly, "Speaking of this matter, we have to talk about the other matter that this humble subject wanted to impeach Prince Mo — abuse of personal punishment. Although the prince was a prince of the Tian Family, he was still a courtier in the end. How could he blind the twelve people at the scene just because the city guards had been ordered to stop by the Yan Emperor? After being blinded, these twelve soldiers received some compensation. They were forced to disarm and return home, so no one knew about this. "If it wasn't for the fact that someone in the neighbor of the captain had an epidemic disease and said that it started out as a black spot, he would not have thought of such a thing!"
"What a coincidence, he's already out of sight. How can I tell if the first black spot is the same as the one on Princess Mo's wrist?"
Zhang Dongcheng said, "Although his eyes can't see anything, he still has memories. When he narrates it, it's exactly the same as what others see …"
He was about to continue, but he was cut off by Gu Zhaoran, "The day that Master Zhang mentioned, my daughter returned to this Prime Minister's Mansion to return to peace, and then returned to Prince Mo's Mansion. From what you have said, if my daughter had an attack on her wrist, wouldn't the people from this palace and the Prince Mo Residence be the first ones to be spared? "
Zhang Dong Cheng was stunned for a moment, and did not know what to say. His impeachment intention was precisely to say that the plague in the inner city was brought in by Prince Mo's side consort. Unexpectedly, Gu Zhaoran's single sentence made him speechless.
Gu Zhaoran had always been a gentle and mediocre person who treated the world well. When the various officials in the imperial court disagreed with him, he would always stay out of the world. If he wasn't an important official of the three dynasties who had worked arduously and built many trees back in the days when he was the late emperor, the emperor probably would have changed him long ago.
Many of the officials had ignored Gu Zhaoran's existence, they did not expect him to be so spicy. The moment he opened his mouth, he saw through Zhang Dong Cheng's intentions, making him speechless.
"My daughter is Prince Mo's side wife. She never goes out of her house. Master Zhang would like to say that she was the one who first brought the epidemic situation into the inner city, so it must be reasonable. Excuse me, if it wasn't for the birthmark on her wrist, why didn't she infect anyone in the prime minister's residence? When you returned to the Prince Mo's mansion, you did not infect anyone from the mansion. Instead, you spread the news to the inner city? "
Zhang Dong Cheng was silent for a moment, then said: "This humble subject is unable to reply to that, but the truth is still the same. "It would be best if Gu Ruoyun had a birthmark on her wrist, but it's a misunderstanding. If it wasn't for the birthmark, Prince Mo would really have to answer this question of Gu Xiang's."
Even though the other party was a prince, Zhang Dong Cheng's tone of voice didn't yield in the slightest. In fact, he didn't even care that he would offend Xiao Yi Xiu at all.
Xiao Yixiu was not angry at all. Zhang Dongheng was a dead pig that did not fear boiling water. Everyone in the imperial court avoided him, but the reason why the emperor trusted him and even wanted to put him in his place was because he was adamant about admonishing the emperor. He turned his head to the side and replied, "This matter is actually very easy to answer. Firstly, the secondary wife is the direct daughter of the Minister Gu, and he can already prove if the secondary wife has a birthmark on her wrist or not. Secondly, if there is a need, the secondary wife can also go to the throne room to testify. Although everyone is unable to differentiate between an epidemic plaque and a birthmark, is the fact that the secondary wife hasn't had an attack for a long time not enough proof? "
Hearing his confident and calm tone, Zhang Dong Cheng was stunned for a moment, thinking, "Could that squad leader really have been too worried?"
Gu Chaoran followed and replied, "Reporting to Your Majesty, this humble subject and the other two ladies did indeed have butterfly birthmarks on their wrists since they were young."
These words had already proven that Xiao Yixiu's words were true. If Zhang Dongheng still insisted on revealing his evidence to the upper echelons of the King's Mansion's female servants, it would be impolite of him.
