"Yeah, I didn't detect any sleeping pills either."

Unable to contain his doubts, Mo Feng asked directly, "Your Highness, when were we affected by the sleeping gas?"

Mo Beichen said calmly, "You were already under the influence of the drug once you made your move, otherwise why would you have been rushing into the second line of defense without realizing it?"

Mo Feng was startled. "What should we do then?"

Mo Beichen looked at the Divine Doctor Valley disciple who had remained silent, "I imagine the Divine Doctor Valley must have a way to solve this."

The disciple from Divine Healer Valley clasped his hands and said, "Your Highness, rest assured, leave this matter to Divine Healer Valley, and we will surely have a result by tomorrow morning."

The next day.

Mo Beichen sat at the table looking at the map.

"Your Highness, the disciples of the Divine Physician Valley have delivered the antidote," Mo Feng said from outside.

Upon hearing this, Mo Beichen raised an eyebrow slightly. "Hmm, how are the soldiers recovering?"

Mo Feng: "Your Highness, the soldiers are all ready."

"Alright, we'll set off after a cup of tea." Mo Beichen stood up and said coldly.

***

In the third year of Tianhe, in the eighth month, at Yingyue City.

"Your Highness, this is so delicious! Your Highness is amazing! How did you create such delicious ice cream?" Yun Tao said with a smile.

Yun Qingluo saw Yun Tao holding a hawthorn ice cream in her left hand and an old-fashioned popsicle in her right, eating happily.

She couldn't help but chuckle, "Yun Tao, you've already eaten three. Be careful not to get diarrhea."

Yunxin helped Yun Qinglu massage her legs.

Yun Qingluo's pregnancy has been progressing more and more recently, and her calves are often swollen. At first, she was able to endure it on her own, but later Yun Xin accidentally discovered it and started to stay by her side every day to massage her legs.

Yunxin was busy with shop matters, and Yun Qingluo tried to persuade her several times, but seeing that she wouldn't listen, she went with her.

The only thing we can do is let Yun Tao help with the shop's affairs.

Yun Xin frowned as she looked at Yun Qingluo's somewhat swollen hands. "I didn't expect pregnancy to be so painful, but thankfully, Your Highness will be free in just over a month."

Upon hearing this, Yun Tao disagreed, "No, no, how can this be a relief? In storybooks, this is called unloading."

Yunli had just stepped into the backyard when she heard the last two words and frowned, "Unloading? Who's unloading? Did you make the princess do the work?"

Yun Tao and Yun Xin burst into laughter upon hearing Yun Li's words.

Yun Tao said softly, "Yun Li, don't talk nonsense. How could we dare let the princess do any work? You'd kill us if you did."

Yunli snorted coldly, "You guys just keep indulging her. Now that she's so pregnant, instead of staying obediently in the City Lord's Mansion, she runs to this crowded shop."

Yun Qingluo looked at Yun Li and said, "Yun Li, you were gone for a few days, and you come back and scold us. Isn't that too heartless?"

Yun Li remained silent, instead focusing her gaze on Yun Qingluo's stomach.

"There's still more than a month left, but she looks like she's about to give birth." Yun Li offered to take Yun Qingluo's pulse several times, but Yun Qingluo refused each time.

The reason given was that the fetus was safe and there was no major problem, so there was no need for such frequent medical visits.

Yunli knew that she knew what was going on, so she didn't ask any further questions.

But looking at her belly now, it seems like...

Yun Qingluo stroked her belly and said with a smile, "Yes, it's probably because you've taken such good care of me that I've gained so much weight."

Ah Chen, I'm about to see our child.

Ah Chen, when are you coming back?

Xiao Yi suddenly spoke up, "Master, the pill is ready! I've succeeded! I've finally succeeded!"

Yun Qingluo was startled and suddenly sat up, but because her belly was too big, she fell backward due to inertia, and was caught by Yun Li in a flash.

Yunli said coldly, "The princess is still so reckless."

Yun Qingluo suddenly said, "Yun Li, I need to go somewhere."

Yunli: "No."

Yun Qingluo turned her head and said dryly, "I haven't even said where I'm going yet."

Yun Tao interjected, "Your Highness, no, nowhere else will do. Bringing you to the shop is already the limit."

Yun Qingluo turned to look at Yun Xin, whose face flushed with embarrassment. "Your Highness, please don't say that. We won't let you go. You're heavily pregnant now, and it's inconvenient for you to go anywhere."

A warm breeze blew into the courtyard. Yun Qingluo lay back down on the soft chair, squinted her eyes, sighed, and said nothing more.

Seeing this, Yunli and the other two knew that there was no room for negotiation.

Yun Tao said with a headache, "Your Highness, when will you change your stubborn nature? Sigh, I really don't know what to do with you."

"If only His Highness were here, the Princess Consort wouldn't dare to be so arrogant," Yunxin said, raising an eyebrow.

Yunli said coldly, "Your Highness, where are you going?"

Yun Qingluo murmured, "A desolate wasteland."

"What!" Yun Tao and Yun Xin exclaimed, and even Yun Li, whose face was usually cold and aloof, showed great shock.

Yun Qingluo said, "Yes, I need to go. Once the fifth line of defense is retaken, the capital will definitely not let Achen return alive. I should also make some preparations, after all..."

At this point, Yun Qingluo chuckled softly, "After all, my child is still waiting to call him 'Daddy'."

Yunli frowned. "You want to reclaim the Wilderness Lands? How is that possible?"

In this wild and untamed land, it's not that no one has tried, but no one has ever succeeded.

How do you know it's impossible if you don't try?

"Moreover, even if it's impossible, I will make it possible," Yun Qingluo said firmly.

She needs to prepare a force as soon as possible to secure peace for her child.

Prepare for his Achen to challenge the world.

She was never a burden to Mo Beichen.

Knowing she couldn't persuade Yun Qingluo, Yun Li could only ask, "Then how many people should I bring with me?"

Yun Qingluo said, "Ten Divine Guards."

Yun Li frowned and refused without hesitation, "No, the wilderness is a place that none of our Divine Healer Valley people have ever been. You're only taking ten Divine Guards, it's too dangerous, absolutely not. Wait, you're not taking me?"

Yun Qingluo heard the crack in Yun Li's last sentence, "Only if you stay here will those who are secretly watching believe that I haven't left Yingyue City."

“But no, you can’t go, you absolutely can’t go. You can barely walk now, how can you go? It’s such a far place, it would take at least two months to get there and back.”

"Two months? That won't do, Your Highness. You're due to give birth in just over a month. Are you suggesting we give birth on the road? That's too risky. I can't let you go."

“Your Highness, if you want to go, you must step over Yunxin’s body. Otherwise, Yunxin will absolutely not let you leave,” Yunxin suddenly said, kneeling down.

Her life was saved by the princess; if it weren't for the princess, she would have died in that cold winter.

Therefore, she would absolutely not allow the princess to take any risks.

Yun Qingluo sat up and sighed, "Why do you have to make things difficult for me? I have no choice but to go to the desolate land."

"Yunli, prepare a comfortable carriage. I, the princess consort, will depart tonight," Yun Qingluo commanded calmly, her tone leaving no room for argument.

Before Yun Li could speak, Yun Qingluo added, "This is the Valley Master's order."
