After an overwhelming wave of nausea, Gu Shiyi pushed away Situ Yu's hand that was placed behind her back. leaned on the ship's railing and pinched the pulse of his other hand.
After approximately an incense worth of time had passed, a hint of shock flashed across Gu Shiyi's face, and was completely captured in her eyes.
How was this possible? She was actually pregnant for two months without anyone realizing it.
"Can we bring the boat to shore? I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable! "
Gu Shiyi lowered her head, folded her arms, and spoke in a muffled voice. Her appearance made Situ Yu's heart ache.
He didn't mean to make her sad, but if he didn't, how could she give up on Situ Jing.
Since today, his objective had already been achieved, Gu Shiyi returning home was as she wished. Although he was reluctant to part with their brief reunion, it was still good enough for her to return home and think things through.
Within Ning Yi Academy's Pharmacy Room, Gu Shiyi had shut herself inside the Pharmacy Room the moment she returned. Looking at the few medicinal ingredients for the Fetal Medicine, Gu Shiyi's expression grew darker and darker.
Why did he let her have his child when she gave up on Situ Jing?
Gu Shiyi returned to the Duke Palace, and Situ Jing quickly followed. In the study, Cheng Suyi placed a jug of wine on Situ Jing's table.
"Am I right?"
Although the Qi around Situ Jing's body was extremely terrifying, but Cheng Suyi was not affected in the slightest.
"Don't talk about this to this duke anymore. How are things with the Great Liu?"
Situ Jing's voice was very cold, the gloom in his eyes was obvious.
"If you could put your thoughts on Gu Shiyi and the Great Liu side, I believe that now is the time to retract the net."
Cheng Suyi scoffed. When Situ Jing faced her, he had always been cold and detached, and never once did he even look at her straight in the eye.
"Take care of your own duty and ignore what you shouldn't care about. This King also seems to have said that without This King's permission, you are not allowed to enter this study. Bai Er!"
Right now, Situ Jing's eyes only wanted to kill him. Bai Er immediately came out from the shadows and half-knelt in front of Situ Jing.
"Send Miss Cheng out, bring back the thirty slates!"
Situ Jing turned his wheelchair towards the window, his back was facing Bai Er and Cheng Suyi, and the latter part was said to Bai Er.
Cheng Suyi's expression was very bad. It's fine if Situ Jing did not put on an act, but he actually did not give her any face at all. How could she take this lying down?
"Miss Cheng, please!"
Bai Er's face was filled with helplessness and grievance, he was just lying on the ground, wasn't this Cheng Suyi something that the King himself had placed in there? How could it be blamed on him?
In the dormitory of Ning Yi Academy, Gu Shiyi lied on the huge bed, which did not have a single strand of heat in it, and looked at the lovebirds with a face full of fear.
If not for the sudden appearance of the Silver Snow Snake which knocked over the concocting medicine on the table, perhaps she would have completely lost her child by now.
No matter what Situ Jing did to her, the child was innocent. She shouldn't have forced his hatred towards Situ Jing onto a baby that wasn't even born yet.
Gu Shiyi's hand couldn't help but touch her flat abdomen. She swore to herself that from now on, he would not do anything to harm her, and she would even need to use all her strength to protect her.
When she thought of this, a trace of worry started to form in Gu Shiyi's heart. In the past, she couldn't bear to part with Situ Jing, so she didn't break that window for him, but now, for the sake of a child, she had to stand out. Her child shouldn't be like her, bound under this small sky.
After making her decision, Gu Shiyi finally relaxed and fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, Xiao Zhi crept into Ning Yi Yuan. However, when she landed, his head was suddenly covered by a gunny sack and a heavy blow landed on her head, causing her to faint instantly.
When Xiao Zhi woke up, she found himself lying on a carpet. In front of her, Cheng Suyi was looking at her with a smile on her face.
"You don't need to look at me like that. I don't have any intention of harming you. On the contrary, I'm here to help you!"
Cheng Suyi was the first to speak. This Xiao Zhi, as long as she was used properly, would definitely be an extremely useful chess piece.
"Help me?"
Xiao Zhi remained vigilant, looking at Cheng Suyi with an even more suspicious expression.
"I know that what you have done under Situ Yu's control is not what you wished for. I also know that you hate Gu Shiyi and have always wanted her to die.
Cheng Suyi narrated everything calmly. When she saw Xiao Zhi's shocked expression, a trace of disdain flashed across her eyes.
"Madam Su, please don't slander Xiao Zhi. Xiao Zhi and my Miss are like sisters, how could he harm her?"
Xiao Zhi was not stupid, she did not know how Cheng Suyi knew everything, but she would not easily admit it, what if this was a trap waiting for her? The secrets on her body, were not limited to the things that Cheng Suyi had mentioned.
"Hmm, what if I say that I have a Antidote from the Heart Devouring Pill?"
Cheng Suyi's expression was normal, she had also expected Xiao Zhi to say this, so she threw out an even bigger bomb.
Indeed, what Situ Yu had fed her was precisely the Heart Devouring Pill. Every time this poison had a relapse at dawn, it would cause her heart to feel as if her heart had been sliced in pieces, causing her to feel so much pain that it was better to die than to wish for her to recover with a single slash.
However, Situ Yu had given her pills that could only temporarily suppress the pain. If he did not continue to consume the red pills the next time the poison attacked, the degree of the pain would increase again and again.
It was also because of this that she submitted completely to Situ Yu's power and obediently helped him carry out his tasks. She was unable to complete the mission which her mother had given her and meet Qian Mochen.
If her poison was detoxified, she would no longer have to endure this inhumane pain, and would no longer be under Situ Yu's control, allowing her to once again return to Qian Mochen's side.
Xiao Zhi was moved. Although she didn't like this Cheng Suyi, if she could say that she had a Heart Devouring Pill, perhaps there really was a Antidote inside?
"What do you want me to do?"
Xiao Zhi was not stupid, she obviously knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. The first thing Cheng Suyi did was to give her an olive branch, and that was definitely where she would be needed.
"Smart, no wonder you fooled Gu Shiyi for so long!"
The corner of Cheng Suyi's mouth curled up slightly. She liked fake white lotuses like Xiao Zhi. Although they looked innocent and weak on the outside, they were actually more insidious and sinister than anyone else.
