Chapter 58 Jinjiang Exclusive Authorization First Release 38 Mission Target Runs with the Ball...
"Master, you are finally here! Your Majesty, I--" Upon seeing the old witch doctor, Yan Yi was so anxious that he was incoherent and hurried to greet him.
Bu Shu nodded slightly, signaling her not to panic. "Xiao Yi, take your time and tell me what's going on."
Yan Yi said anxiously, "Master, I have made His Majesty angry. His Majesty is having a miscarriage."
Bu Shu carried the medicine box and walked towards the bedroom door, saying as he walked, "It's a miscarriage. With your medical skills, you can handle it."
After hearing this, Yan Yi could no longer hold back and said with a choked voice, "Your Majesty doesn't want to see me and has kicked me out."
Bu Shu did not ask too many questions, but whispered a few words of comfort, then asked Ling You to open the door and let him into the hall.
Watching the bedroom door slowly closing before his eyes, Yan Yi felt mixed emotions.
Not long ago, she and Wen Huoran were extremely affectionate and close to each other, and they wished they could spend all the time together in the bedroom.
In just half a day, she had fallen to this point - she was ruthlessly kicked out by the other party.
Waiting is always agonizing and mentally draining.
Yan Yi paced back and forth outside the bedroom, feeling uneasy.
Time passed by unknowingly, the sun set in the west, and the sky gradually turned red.
The palace door opened in response, and as soon as Bu Shu stepped out of the bedroom, Yan Yi hurriedly went to meet him.
"Master, how is His Majesty? Is there anything wrong? The child—"
Bu Shu waved his hand, stopping her from continuing, "Your Majesty is experiencing miscarriage, and I have prescribed medication to stabilize the pregnancy."
After a moment's silence, he continued, "Xiao Yi, the essence in His Majesty's body is in a critical state right now. We must follow His Majesty's wishes in everything. Otherwise, it will be detrimental to the development of the fetus. If an accident occurs, the loss will outweigh the gain."
Yan Yi became anxious when he heard this, his nose felt sore, and tears fell like beads from a broken string, unable to stop.
"Master, it's all my fault. I didn't take good care of you."
Bu Shu sighed helplessly, and gave her a meaningful look. "Alright, I have things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now. You can take care of yourself."
Watching the old witch doctor's back gradually disappear into the distance, Yan Yi's heart remained restless for a long time. She could sense that Bu Shu's words were hinting at something, but she couldn't be sure.
Watching Ling You close the bedroom door, Yan Yi, hoping for a lucky break, immediately stepped forward to plead with him: "Brother Ling You, please tell His Majesty that I have something important to report."
Ling You looked rather embarrassed, carefully choosing his words, and said, "Miss Yan, the Lord has retired and has ordered that he not see anyone today."
Hearing this, Yan Yi's heart sank.
After much thought, she still refused to give up and struggled to say, "Brother Lingyou, my clothes are still in the bedroom. Can you let me go in and pack my luggage?"
"I'm sorry." Ling You nodded slightly and treated her politely as always. "Your Majesty has instructed that someone should deliver it to Miss Yan later."
The villain was determined not to see her, and Yan Yi was almost in despair.
She still held onto hope and asked, "Brother Lingyou, can I move back to the study where I used to live?"
Ling You looked embarrassed, "Miss Yan, the Lord has instructed me to find a brand new house for you. The Lord's original words were -"
He seemed unable to say the rest of the words. After hesitating for a moment, he finally managed to utter a few words.
"The farther Miss Yan's residence is from the bedroom, the better."
Yan Yi's expression went blank for a moment, and her legs went limp uncontrollably. She subconsciously took two steps back and leaned against the wall. It took her a long time to recover.
Wen Huoran didn't want to see her and drove her out of the bedroom, but he didn't want her to live in a house close to the villain, hoping that she would stay away from him.
She was completely kicked out by Wen Huoran.
While she was thinking, Ling You's voice rang out again, "Miss Yan, please follow me."
Yan Yi raised his head and looked at Ling You blindly: "Brother Ling You, where are you taking me?"
Seeing her distraught look, Ling You couldn't bear it, but he didn't dare to disobey his master, so he had to harden his heart and tell her the truth -
"Let's go to the new house that Your Excellency has bought for the girl."
The house was indeed brand new, and was quite far away from the bedroom, one to the east and the other to the west. The yard was empty, deserted, with only Yan Yi as the only living person.
The room was cold and deserted, and the mattress was brand new, soft and thick, yet it gave off a chill.
Late at night, when everyone was asleep, Yan Yi curled up in his quilt, his heart chilled to the bone.
She should have realized that she would end up like this today, but because she and Wen Huoran had been living a sweet life like an ordinary couple in recent days, she had completely forgotten the crisis lurking in the dark. That's why she was so helpless when the disaster was about to happen, and she had no way out.
Yan Yi did not sleep well that night.
The nightmare that had troubled her for many days came true. Yan Yi tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
The next morning, she got up early and changed her clothes. The current situation told her that she could not just sit there and wait for death.
Wen Huoran has not given birth to a child yet, her mission is not completed, and this should not be the ending.
After a simple wash, she sneaked into Wen Huoran's bedroom.
Surprisingly, Ling You was not guarding the door, and none of the guards hiding in the dark showed up.
Yan Yi gradually felt relieved and ran straight to the bedroom door. As soon as her hands touched the door, she was rebounded by an invisible force and fell straight into the yard.
A thick black fog suddenly appeared in front of him. It was Wen Huoran's evil spirit. He had actually set up a "no entry" defensive barrier on the door of the bedroom.
Yan Yi was not stupid and knew at a glance that the other party was deliberately targeting her.
When they are in love, everything is easy to say. Wen Huoran can pamper her to the sky and satisfy all her unreasonable requests. The two of them wish they could stay close to each other all the time.
Once the relationship breaks down, it will be difficult for a mere mortal female doctor to even get close.
Maybe he caught a cold while sleeping last night. Yan Yi felt a chill in his heart, as if he was in the ice and snow of the Ice Continent.
Yan Yi gritted her teeth and got up from the ground, brushed off the dust on her clothes, and looked around carefully. Still no one noticed her, or perhaps someone noticed her, but no one cared.
Looking at the locked bedroom door, she certainly didn't give up. She then took out a few talismans from her bosom and tried to break the defensive barrier using the method Wen Huoran had taught her.
Yan Yi was actually unsure. After all, she had tried to use talismans to open the rosewood box she gave to Wen Huoran before, but she had never succeeded.
But, she had no other choice but to try.
Just as Yan Yi lit the talisman and tried to break in, Ling You flashed across the roof and landed steadily in the bedroom, reporting Yan Yi's actions to Wen Huoran truthfully.
"You don't know your own limitations." Wen Huoran sneered, and then asked Ling You to pass on the order, telling her not to pay any attention to Yan Yi and let her retreat when she saw difficulty.
Yan Yi was never afraid of setbacks, and the more she faced them, the more courageous she became. The talisman ignited in her palm and fell on the bedroom door as she moved.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the door of the bedroom made a roar like an explosion. The guards hiding in the dark all poked their heads out.
Yan Yi was seen lying on the ground with his arms and legs spread out. His originally long, black and smooth hair was as if it had been burned by fire and was now messily gathered on top of his head. He looked as if he had just crawled out of a firewood pile.
Apart from a pair of bright eyes, it was impossible to tell who was lying on the ground.
Ling You wanted to go forward and help her up, but he remembered his master's order and did not dare to move a step. He also ordered the other guards to do their duties and pretend not to see anything.
Yan Yi tried to forcibly break through the defensive formation set up by Wen Huoran, but was counterattacked by the formation and fell heavily to the ground. His lower back was burning with pain and his butt was almost broken.
She lay on the ground, unable to move, and could only shout for help.
After a long time, Ling You got Wen Huoran's permission, called Qiongjiu to send her back to the house, and asked a doctor to treat her injuries.
Yan Yi had a strained hip muscle and a broken calf. For several days, he could only sleep on his stomach and could not go out. He had no way to ask for Wen Huoran's forgiveness. He suffered a lot.
On the fifth day, thanks to the doctor's unremitting efforts, Yan Yi was barely able to walk.
After washing up, she asked Qiongjiu to find her a set of plain clothes. After putting them on, she looked particularly pitiful. She looked at herself in the mirror for a long time before she went out with satisfaction, leaning on her crutches.
As she approached the door to the bedroom, she happened to see the old witch doctor coming out of the hall carrying a medicine box. She jumped up to the old witch doctor on her crutches and asked, "Master, is your Majesty feeling better?"
Bu Shu glanced at her embarrassed look, wanting to say something but stopping himself. After a long while, he finally said earnestly, "Your Majesty has called you in. Let's talk things over."
Yan Yi was stunned for a moment, then thanked the old witch doctor, turned around with difficulty on his crutches, and went up the stairs one step at a time.
The door of the bedroom slowly opened in front of her. Yan Yi felt quite emotional. In just a few days, she had the illusion that she was in another world.
"Your Majesty, I'm here!" Yan Yi was surprised and happy to hear that Huoran was willing to see her, and her tone became cheerful.
On the one hand, she was worried that Wen Huoran had found new evidence to punish her, but on the other hand, she was still hoping for the best, thinking that he would see that she had broken her leg and feel pity and sympathy for her, and she couldn't bear it.
Wen Huoran was sitting at the desk. He looked up at her when he heard her words. A flash of pity flashed across his eyes, and he told her in a calm tone to find a place to sit by herself.
Yan Yi looked around but couldn't find a suitable place, so he moved step by step with his crutches to Wen Huoran's side.
"Your Majesty, let me stand! It's more comfortable to stand."
Wen Huoran didn't comment and turned his eyes away from her.
Yan Yi felt uneasy, as if a sharp knife was hanging in front of his eyes, and he was in danger of dying or living. He was just waiting for Wen Huoran's order.
After a long wait, she was so impatient that she couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, did you ask me to come here? Is there something you want to tell me?"
Wen Huoran raised his eyes to look at her. Not sure if it was Yan Yi's illusion, he pursed his lips slightly and smiled with a small arc.
Before Yan Yi could see clearly, Wen Huoran returned to his cold attitude, as if Yan Yi owed him eight million.
"Your Majesty—"
Before she could ask any more questions, Wen Huoran suddenly spoke and interrupted her.
"Do you know what 'combined incense' is?"
His tone was calm and peaceful, but it sounded like a thunderclap in Yan Yi's ears.
"Your Majesty, what fragrance are you talking about?" Her legs were stiff and tight. If she hadn't had two crutches supporting her, Yan Yi would have fallen to the ground by now, unable to tell east from west.
Wen Huoran stared at her and said word by word, "He Xiang, have you ever seen her?"
When using a single fragrance, there is no discomfort. However, using multiple fragrances together can produce unexpected effects.
What Yan Yi used to deal with Wen Huoran in the past was Hexiang.
"Your Majesty, I have heard something about it." She tried to calm herself down and said calmly.
Wen Huoran was about to get angry, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly chuckled and said, "I heard a little bit about it?"
His heart was pounding so hard it threatened to burst out of his chest. Yan Yi forced himself to remain calm and said half-heartedly, "My master, who taught me medicine since I was a child, once mentioned that incense is a fragrance made by blending a variety of spices according to a recipe. It's a pity that I never had the chance to see my master blending incense in person."
In the past, Wen Huoran would have definitely asked why he didn't have a chance. But now, he knew everything Yan Yi had done.
Following his orders, Bu Shu investigated the whole story and learned that the sachet Yan Yi had given him earlier and the spices she had lit in the secret realm were a rare combination of incense.
Wen Huoran was extremely reluctant to admit it, but the facts were before him, and every single thing reminded him that Yan Yi, like Wen Feng, was willing to stay with him just to use him.
He had hinted to Yan Yi more than once to confess to him and tell him the truth. No matter what the reason was, Wen Huoran was willing to listen to her explanation.
Yan Yi remained indifferent and ignored his hints. Perhaps she didn't care about him, but just stayed with him for some purpose.
The truth is often hard to accept. When he realized that Yan Yi had been plotting against him from the beginning, from persuading him to swallow her essence to the accidental pregnancy, Yan Yi had been planning for a long time and had made careful plans step by step, and finally got what she wanted.
"Alright." Wen Huiran waved his hand, indicating that she could leave. "I understand. You can leave now."
The villain's reaction was too abnormal. Yan Yi was worried, but he didn't dare to argue any further. He could only leave the bedroom in shame on crutches.
Wen Huiran stared at her receding figure in a trance, his heart restless for a long time. His hands subconsciously stroked his slightly swollen belly, his thoughts in a tangle.
Yan Yi didn't sleep all night.
The pain from the fall was so intense that it completely robbed her of any desire to sleep. Furthermore, Wen Huoran's behavior during the day was truly unusual. Yan Yi had a hunch that something was amiss, but she couldn't fathom his true intentions.
The next day, just after dawn, Yan Yi got up early to wash and brush her teeth. Without even changing her clothes, she walked towards the bedroom in a thin nightgown.
Ever since being exiled to the western mansion by Wen Huoran, Yan Yi has been limping on one leg, and it has taken him a lot of effort to meet the villain.
Ling You was guarding outside the bedroom alone, and Yan Yi felt relieved, and the worry in his heart was reduced a little.
"Brother Lingyou, please tell him to come and see His Majesty."
Ling You's expression was a little complicated. After a long while, he finally said, "Miss Yan, His Majesty is not in the bedroom."
Of course Yan Yi didn't believe it, so he ordered You to follow Wen Huoran's order and not allow her to enter the palace and disturb him.
"Brother Lingyou, please! I'm here to apologize to His Majesty. Please let him know that I know I was wrong. As long as His Majesty is willing to see me, I will accept any punishment."
Ling You subconsciously glanced at her right leg that was dangling on the ground, and the corner of his mouth twitched, "Miss Yan, please go back! Go back to your room and heal your injuries."
Recalling the scene of being attacked by the defensive formation that day, Yan Yi looked a little uncomfortable and insisted: "I will only see you once, and then I will leave."
Ling You sighed helplessly, "Miss Yan, the Lord is really not in the palace."
At this moment, Yan Yi had to believe that Wen Huoran was really not in the bedroom. An uneasy thought gradually emerged in his heart and showed signs of spreading.
"Brother Lingyou, where has His Majesty gone?"
Ling You: "Your Majesty is traveling."
After hearing this, Yan Yi immediately realized something and said incoherently: "When will Your Majesty come back?"
Seeing her increasingly panicked expression, Ling You felt sorry for her, but he had no choice but to obey his master's order and said truthfully, "I'm not sure when I'll be back."
Yan Yi froze in place for a long time before he gradually came to his senses. He turned around and walked back with his cane, muttering to himself as he walked: "I'll come see him again when His Majesty comes back."
For several days in a row, Yan Yi got up early and went to the bedroom to visit Wen Huoran, but he got only one answer - Wen Huoran was out traveling and his return date was uncertain.
Ling You's wandering eyes reminded her that Wen Huoran didn't want to see her and deliberately avoided her.
During the days he was in the book, Yan Yi was worried and frightened, and resorted to deception and fraud, just to complete the mission as soon as possible, return to the real world, and be with his parents.
In the end, it was all in vain and the target of the mission ran away with the ball.
Yan Yi returned to the room in a daze, slumped in the armchair beside the desk, racking his brains to find a way to find Wen Huoran.
She took out a stack of blank talisman paper from the desk, dipped her fingertips in cinnabar, and drew a few tracking talismans, trying to find Wen Huoran using the few methods she had learned.
However, the opposite happened. The tracking talisman was released and fell back onto the desk intact in just a moment.
Someone discovered her purpose and returned the talisman back the way it came.
Yan Yi sat dejectedly on the chair, holding his head tightly with both hands. For the first time, he felt a strong sense of helplessness.
As I was thinking, a familiar electronic sound suddenly rang in my mind.
[It has been detected that the tasker has lost the task object, the situation is critical, or life is in danger. ]
Yan Yi suddenly jumped up from the chair, and in a panic he accidentally kicked the table leg. His broken calf could not support his staggering body, and he suddenly fell to the ground, knocking down the debris on the desk and making it fall all over the floor.
Qiongjiu heard the noise outside the house and hurriedly pushed the door open. She was frightened by what she saw.
"Miss Yan, did you fall?"
Yan Yi grimaced in pain and stood up with her help. His head was dizzy and everything that had just happened seemed like a dream.
"Qiongjiu, did you hear any sound?"
She thought she was hallucinating because she was too nervous and couldn't believe her ears.
Every time she encountered a difficult problem, Yan Yi tried to call the system in her mind, but the other party seemed to have disappeared and never responded to her request.
However, just now, when she was crying helplessly, the missing system came online.
"Miss Yan, I just heard a noise in the room, and when I came in I found you had fallen. Are you hurt anywhere?"
Yan Yi waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, go back to your room and rest!"
Qiongjiu looked at her worriedly and was reluctant to leave.
Recently, Yan Yi was heartbroken about Wen Huoran's affairs. The servants in the mansion thought that Wen Huoran had abandoned her for no reason and felt unfair for her.
Qiongjiu saw her sadness and was the only one who knew part of the truth.
Yan Yi urged her again and again before she looked back every few steps and walked out the door worriedly.
Yan Yi was the only one left in the room. She frantically called the system in her mind, just like she did every time before.
This time, the system finally showed a little kindness in its humanity and responded to her coldly.
[It has been detected that the tasker has lost the task object, the situation is critical, or life is in danger. ]
A repeater?
Yan Yi couldn't help but grumble, but he didn't dare to offend the other party, so he asked cautiously: "System, is there any way to solve the problem at hand?"
【Find the task object and complete the task. 】
Yan Yi took the opportunity to ask, "Does my mission include ensuring the subject gives birth safely?"
【Find the task object and complete the task. 】
…
It is indeed a system. Apart from being a repeater, it has no other functions.
Yan Yi was on the verge of despair after hearing this, but she was certain that, just as she had guessed earlier, her mission was not only to capture the biggest villain in the book, but also to ensure that he could give birth to the child safely.
Otherwise, when she first entered the book, the system left her with a golden finger, and the intention was very obvious.
Yan Yi was already worried because Wen Huoran left without saying goodbye, and now he received a system prompt that the mission target had been lost and his life might be in danger.
She had endured for so long, how could she die just when success was on the verge of her endurance?
After tossing and turning all night, Yan Yi came up with a plan and decided to go all out.
The next day, Yan Yi rarely got up early. Instead, he lay on the couch with disheveled hair and a dirty face, looking like he was dying.
When Qiongjiu entered the room to clean it, she was frightened by her appearance.
"Miss Yan, are you feeling unwell?"
Yan Yi replied in a hoarse voice: "I must be sick."
"I'll go get a doctor." Qiongjiu turned around and was about to go out.
Yan Yi hurriedly called her and got up from the couch, "I need to consult an old witch doctor for my illness." Then she leaned close to Qiong Jiu's ear and whispered something.
When Qiongjiu heard this, her hands trembled and her expression became complicated and indecipherable.
The old witch doctor has been very busy treating the seriously injured guards recently. She needs Wen Huoran's permission before she can treat others. She immediately went out to find Ling You and ask Wen Huoran for permission.
Ling You was also frightened after hearing Qiong Jiu's tearful and exaggerated description, but he said sternly, "Without Your Majesty, I cannot make the decision."
Qiongjiu was so anxious that she burst into tears, tugging at Lingyou's sleeve and sobbing, "Brother Lingyou, please, please save Miss Yan! She has fainted on the bed and has not eaten or drunk anything. I'm afraid she doesn't have much time left."
Ling You frowned tightly and pulled back his sleeve that she had grasped. "Please go back! I'll send someone to get a doctor later."
Qiong Jiu raised her sleeve to wipe away her tears, crying like a tearful person, "We've asked the doctor in the mansion to see her, but she hasn't gotten any better, and instead has gotten a lot worse. The doctor said we need to ask the old witch doctor to find a solution."
Ling You looked troubled and hesitated for a moment before saying, "You go back first. I'll think of a solution."
Qiongjiu cried out "wow", covered her face tightly with her hands, and cried bitterly.
"Miss Yan's life is so miserable! In the past, she was always busy and considerate to His Majesty. But now that she is sick, no one cares about her. She can only lie on the bed and wait to die! Wuuwuwu——"
Ling You's face looked unhappy, his features almost wrinkled together. He said sternly, "Stop yelling! I'm trying to find a way to contact His Majesty."
Seeing that he was showing signs of loosening up, Qiongjiu didn't dare to pester him any more. She pleaded a few more times and walked back pretending to be disappointed. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Ling You turned sideways, as if reporting news to someone.
Wen Huoran sat alone in a manor filled with exotic flowers and plants, one hand resting on his slightly bulging belly, his fair and clear face tinged with a hint of sadness.
After receiving Ling You's message, he suddenly stood up, accidentally kicking over the rattan chair behind him, his eyes full of anxiety.
"Mortals are indeed fragile and easily broken. I've become sick after just a few days of not seeing you." He said to himself.
