Born at the wrong time

He spoke with difficulty and called her again, "Mingxi."

"Don't call me that, you don't deserve it."

After knowing all of Wu Bu Ke's plans, this man was no longer his father.

His obsession was too deep, and she knew that even if she ruined his plan, he would never let it go.

He is only obsessed with his mother's death. Only her death can restore his conscience by covering up the pain he once felt.

In order to eliminate the hidden dangers in the mainland, she didn't have long to live, so she used her life in exchange.

"I never meant to hurt you."

"But you have hurt so many people. For your own desires, so many people have lost their lives and their families have been separated. Why should they bear and destroy everything for you, but you only think about yourself." She was filled with anger.

"I... I won't do that anymore. I won't do that anymore. Can you tell me how to make up for it?" Wu Bu Ke burst into tears.

"Your sins cannot be redeemed." Ye Lin turned a blind eye.

"Please forgive me, I will do whatever you want me to do."

"I will never forgive you, and I am not the one you should forgive."

Ye Lin turned her back and started to leave.

"Mingxi, you have my blood in you after all. Your last name is Wubu. Do you really not want your father anymore?"

"You're wrong. My last name is Ye, and my name is Ye Mingxi. I'm just Ye Mingxi. I have nothing to do with you."

Wu Buke was suddenly struck hard and could not stand steadily.

Emotions took control of Ye Mingxi's brain, and huge emotional fluctuations rushed through the veins all over his body.

She shed tears and collapsed.

"Ye Lin!" Ji Jinyan took her to sit on the ground, picked her up and left.

Wu Bu Ke was immersed in it, and a sense of sadness and ridiculousness arose spontaneously.

He didn't believe in fate, but fate teased and mocked him, leaving him with nothing in the end.

He walked on with a broken heart and lost soul.

Ye Mingxi woke up and Mo Ping helped her up.

"It's okay now that you're awake. You're still too weak, so you need to take good care of yourself." She looked normal.

Sending Ji Jinyan away, "The medicine should be ready. Go get it. Drink it while it's hot. I still need to give you another acupuncture treatment."

"Yeah." He didn't say much.

After he left, Mo Ping's expression changed immediately.

"Do you know what happened to you?"

"There's more toxin. I guess I need to leave as soon as possible." She looked calm.

Mo Ping frowned, "Oh no, Ye Lin, you're pregnant, didn't you notice?"

Ye Lin looked at her with wide eyes, her heart filled with turmoil.

Her appetite has indeed been much worse recently, and she thought it was due to the poison, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

"I'll find a time to help you get rid of it."

Ye Lin asked her in surprise, "Why?"

"Are you stupid? You won't live to see this child born. It will only accelerate your physical decline."

Ye Lin remained silent. After a moment of silence, she spoke firmly, "Mo Ping, I want to keep it."

"Don't even think about it."

"You have a plan, right?"

"I can't help you." She didn't answer directly.

"You will help, because you don't want to see me die without my wish."

Ye Mingxi was right. She really couldn't bear it and felt that she owed Ye Mingxi in her previous life.

"Don't make things difficult for me. Even if the child is born, it will absorb the poison in your body and be tortured by the toxins and plagued by diseases. It may die prematurely at any time."

Ye Lin looked sad and wondered why this child had to come at this time.

"Mo Ping, abort this baby now." Ji Jinyan appeared at some point.

His eyes were red and angry, and he really wanted to eat this woman up for hiding it from him for so long.

Mo Ping had a guilty look on his face, as if he had seen a ghost. Ye Mingxi stared at him blankly, not knowing how to speak.

Grabbing Ye Lin's wrist, he said, "You cruel woman, are you going to die without telling me the truth?"

Ji Jinyan cried his heart out, blaming her for hiding it from him, but more importantly, he hated himself for being incompetent and causing her so much harm.

"You still want to divorce me? No way. I won't let you go even if you become a ghost." He found the divorce agreement signed by Ye Mingxi.

She gently wiped away his tears, "In the end, you will be left alone. But I will let it stay with you."

Touching her belly, he hinted at something. He held her shoulder and said, "Linlin, listen to me, we can't have this child."

Ye Mingxi shook her head and grabbed his arm. "I've already lost the possibility of living. I can't deprive it of the choice to live."

"No, there's no room for negotiation." He made a decisive decision.

"Jin Yan, do you know what I like most about you? You never make things difficult for me, disregard my wishes, and always give me respect and choices. This last time, you'll listen to me, right?"

Yes, that was Ye Lin, the proud and infallible Ye Lin. How could he possibly let her not get what she wanted in her final days?

"You always know how to control me, making me love and hate you." He hugged Ye Mingxi and wanted to integrate her into his bones and blood, but the final result ended with his compromise.

However, his eyes darkened. If she was gone, he would go with her. Ji Jinyan didn't intend to tell her that just one year had made him like a walking corpse, a life worse than death.

Ye Lin, I respect your wishes, so you cannot shake my determination to die.

Mo Ping stood aside and was completely ignored by the two of them, but fortunately she was used to it.

A guard knocked on the door and announced, "Palace Master Mo, Young Master Y. Wu Bu Ke has committed suicide. The Sect Master asked me to inform you."

Ye Mingxi and Ji Jinyan glanced at each other and asked, "Did they rescue the person?"

The person who reported it shook his head, and Ye Mingxi's heart skipped a beat.

"Not saved?"

"No hope."

"No hope?"

"The Sect Master said that his life or death has nothing to do with the Sect, and he only came to tell you out of consideration for you."

"I'll go take a look." She said with a serious expression.

"I'll go by myself, please lead the way." Ji Jinyan helped Ye Mingxi up and wanted to go with her but was rejected.

As she walked towards Wubu Ke's residence, she had a lot of thoughts in her mind, and scenes from the past flashed through her mind.

When I just woke up, the things that happened before were still vague, but now they are becoming clearer and I can slowly remember them.

She pushed open the door and saw with her own eyes Wu Bu Ke hanging in the dark and narrow room.

With a pale face and eyes tightly closed, this scene still had some impact on Ye Mingxi.

She threw the dart, and the rope broke. Wu Bu Ke fell vertically to the ground, which woke him up. His eyes slowly focused and he could see the person in front of him clearly.

"Mingxi." It was like the only small source of water seen in the endless desert.

Ye Mingxi said coldly: "Who are you performing this self-torture show for?"

He got up from the ground, "I didn't."

"Nothing, you just want to lure me over to watch you perform?"

"I just don't want to cause you any more trouble."

Ye Lin looked around his living quarters. With no windows and no sunlight, it was dark and damp. Everything he had was simple and scarce, clearly showing that he wasn't living well. No one treated him like a human being. He had always been a noble, so how could he have lived in such a place? Even after Wu Bu's downfall, he had never lacked food and drink.

Seeing him in such a miserable state, she couldn't feel happy.

"What qualifications do you have to die? How hard is it for so many people to want to live? Even during those dark days in the lab, I never thought of dying. If you want to be a coward, then be a coward. How can you end your miserable life so easily?"

Wu Bu Ke was speechless and burst into tears.

"I just, I just don't know what to do. If I die, I won't make you sad anymore. Let me die, I'm going to die." He pulled out a knife.

Ye Mingxi angrily snatched it and threw it to the ground, shouting in despair: "You don't need to die, I'm going to die!"

He was stunned. "What?"

"You've experimented with so many poisons on me that there's no cure. Now that you're satisfied, not only will I die, but my child too."

Wu Bu Ke was struck by a bolt of lightning, and it felt as if all the blood in his body had solidified and been drained away. He took a few steps back and fell heavily to the ground.

Ye Mingxi looked at him as if he were an enemy and said word by word: "Wu Buke, you have to live, live longer than anyone else, and live in endless torment and pain all your life. Don't ever think about it being over. Your mother doesn't want to see you so early, and neither do I." These words were the best poison to kill him.

Ye Mingxi said this, turned around and left, leaving him alone there.

Wu Bu Ke was afraid. He could feel the fear. He couldn't help crying out loudly and pounding his chest. It hurt, it hurt so much.

"I regret it! I regret it! I regret it so much!!!" He slapped himself hard.

Ye Mingxi held onto the railing, breathing with difficulty and twitching and shaking constantly.

She touched her belly and asked, "Are you making a fuss?"

Her pregnancy made her particularly emotional and sentimental.

Ji Jinyan appeared behind her and picked her up. She grabbed his collar and closed her eyes in pain.

He gently kissed the sweat on her forehead to comfort her, and his broad and strong arms allowed her to relax for a moment.

Ji Jinyan carried her to the bed and said, "Have a good sleep. I'll keep watch over you."

He fanned her gently until she woke, and held her still sleeping hand.

I really want to continue like this until the end of time, and when I wake up, the lights will be on.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she was met with her lover's gentle and affectionate gaze. He gently combed her slightly messy long hair.

"I'm much better." She leaned into his arms.

After a good sleep, she figured out a lot of things. No matter how difficult and bumpy the road ahead was, she would fight for a way out for her children.

She seemed to have turned back into the victorious Ye Lin of the past.

Wu Bu Ke locked himself in the room for a few days, and the passage between the two lands was already operational.

Ye Mingxi used the excuse that there were some matters that needed to be dealt with on Yihua Island and sent Xia Zaoan, Xuanren and others away.

Watching them leave here and seeing them off, the two of them held hands with mutual relief in their eyes.

She decided to work with Mo Ping to develop an antidote. In Mo Ping's palace, she drew a tube of Ye Mingxi's blood.

"Your body is teeming with at least a thousand, if not ten thousand, poisons. It's difficult to discern the exact number. The various toxins are mixed together, making it impossible to discern their specific characteristics. Blindly testing the poisons might accelerate their onset, and we only have three months to experiment. After three months, the toxins will spread from the mother to the child, and within a month, both you and the child will rapidly decay and perish. Time is running out, and we have to be cautious. Hope is slim."

The situation is not optimistic, which is why Mo Ping has not made any progress for so long.

"The most crucial thing is that most of the toxins you have are new types, many of which were developed through mutations and have no previous records. The specific medicinal properties and potential side effects are also unknown."

Ye Lin observed her blood sample and asked, "Do you know how people diagnosed the symptoms of poisoning in ancient times when there were no advanced equipment?"

Mo Ping thought for a moment and said, "You are talking about Lin Yimu's method of dividing poisons in ancient books."

In the past, most doctors diagnosed poisoning based on physical symptoms. Different toxins and varying degrees of intoxication produced different body reactions. Many toxins induced the same physical reaction, such as fever, but the intensity and duration of the fever varied widely. This made it difficult for doctors to distinguish symptoms and determine the appropriate dosage.

Some people, after being poisoned by a small amount, don't experience fever, their bodies clearing the poison before they even feel sick. For others, the opposite is true. This is why, in ancient times, people who cleared the poison still died shortly after, as the remaining poison in their bodies persisted. Some chronic poisons even seep into the lungs without notice, resulting in a premature death.

In order to reduce the possibility of misdiagnosis, a doctor named Lin Yimu found a way: instead of guessing the toxin based on the symptoms, he could judge the symptoms based on the toxin.

By separating the toxicity and finding the corresponding symptoms, the toxicity of the symptoms combined together is the poison that was infected.

"But even if we search all this way for three months day and night without sleeping, it's probably going to be difficult to find everything," Mo Ping said anxiously.

"When all the shortcuts are different, the most ancient and longest-standing folk methods are the only ones that can't go wrong, but naturally there are pros and cons."

What this means is that there is no better choice than this stupid method, and Mo Ping mustered up his courage.

"Okay, isn't it just a few thousand kinds? I've come into contact with so many herbs, I don't believe I can't find it, let's fight it." She plunged into the experimental dish.

Ye Mingxi also became busy. Time passed quickly and a day was over.

Having only slept for a few hours, she came to Mo Ping's medical room early and heard her arguing with someone.

"What are you doing here? Are you going to harm her again?"

"Mo Ping?" she called out. Seeing her guarding the door tightly, Wu Bu Ke was standing in front of it.

Seeing him, Ye Mingxi's face became a little ugly.

"What's going on?" He turned to look at her.

"He showed up here sneakily early in the morning. I don't know what bad things he is planning." Mo Ping complained righteously.

"I came to see if there was anything I could do to help. After all, I... I know a lot." He lowered his head in shame.

During the time he was locked up in the room, he was like a puddle of mud, smashing and pushing everything in the room. He lay on the ground carelessly, letting the fragments pierce his flesh.

His arm fell to the ground, and he felt something cool and smooth on his hand. He picked it up and saw that it was the jade pendant he had taken from Ji Jinyan that day, the jade pendant that sealed his love with Cheng Yujialian.

He clutched it tightly in his hand, "Alian, you're blaming me too, aren't you? You won't forgive me."
