"She did it!"
"She did it!"
"I knew she could do it."
To hear such a powerful new life being born, with such a loud cry.
Young Master Yi, who had been pacing back and forth outside the door, was overjoyed and exclaimed happily.
Just then, Yi Shangyun slowly walked out of the house.
Her steps were heavy, and she looked extremely tired, but her face was beaming with a smile as she said, "Mother and child are safe!"
Upon hearing this, Young Master Yi rushed towards her in three quick steps and embraced her tightly with open arms.
He exclaimed excitedly, "Girl, you did it! You really did it!"
Yi Shangyun's eyes gradually filled with tears, as if she had finally understood something, and she just stared blankly at Yi Shangkun behind her.
Yi Shangkun smiled knowingly at Qi Yi.
He secretly pondered to himself, wondering when Yi Shangyun's medical skills had improved to such an extent.
To handle such a dangerous and perilous pregnancy so well on a first-time encounter is something even a seasoned gynecologist might not be able to do.
What made him even more gratified was his belief that after experiencing this firsthand, Yi Shangyun would be able to slowly emerge from the shadow of her loss of her child.
Little did they know.
Upon learning that Yi Shangyun was in danger, they immediately contacted the royal guards who had been sent to track and protect her.
Based on the information provided by the secret guards, Xuan Yuanhan and his servant quickly found the place.
Outside the dilapidated wooden gate, in a dark corner, through the gaps in the fence, the master and servant had clearly seen everything that had just happened in the courtyard.
"It's born! It's born..."
Upon hearing the baby's cries, Cheng Liang also expressed his delight.
Then, with a mixture of surprise and delight, she looked at Xuan Yuanhan beside her.
Xuan Yuanhan's originally furrowed brows had quietly relaxed at some point.
After regaining her senses, she asked Cheng Liang with an icy expression, "Has everything been arranged?"
"Your Highness, rest assured, I have personally drawn a portrait and arranged for people to wait at the dock. If the master and servant go to inquire, we will say that the guest heading south was taken away by people from the palace just before leaving. At this moment, I'm sure the Shou family is already planning how to enter the palace to find the person!"
Cheng Liang replied.
Xuanyuan Han remained silent for a moment, then said, "Let's go back to the manor!"
Cheng Liang looked puzzled and said, "Return to the manor? Didn't His Highness come to take Miss Yi back with him? Why not..."
Xuanyuan Han seemed not to have listened to what he said at all, and only looked longingly at Yi Shangyun in the courtyard one last time, as if this was the last time he would see her.
Just then, Yi San Shao's anxious voice suddenly came from the courtyard: "Girl, what's wrong?"
Immediately afterwards, Yi Shangkun also rushed forward to take her pulse and check her condition, and finally said, "She's fine, quickly put her in the room to rest for a while!"
"Girl, girl..." Young Master Yi called softly as he carried her into the house.
Upon seeing Young Master Yi enter the room, Yi Shangkun glanced sideways at the location where Xuan Yuanhan was.
Just as Yi Shangyun fainted, Xuan Yuanhan, in his haste, shifted his foot, clearly exposing himself and being noticed by Yi Shangkun.
Suddenly, he turned around, walked out the door, and stood before Xuan Yuanhan, bowing respectfully and saying, "Your Highness, Prince Qin!"
Xuanyuan Han asked anxiously, "Yun'er, she..."
"Yun'er was just seeing a woman give birth for the first time, so she must have been too nervous. There's nothing to worry about. She just needs to rest and will wake up soon!"
Xuanyuan Han was terrified that Yi Shangyun might make even the slightest mistake; he had almost rushed in just now.
Hearing Yi Shangkun's words, I finally felt much more at ease.
Yi Shangkun also saw the deep love that Yi Shangyun had for him in his particularly worried eyes.
After regaining his senses, he asked, "Why is Your Highness here?"
Xuanyuan Han concealed his true intentions, saying, "I was passing by on business and happened to run into you."
"What could possibly require such a high-ranking prince to personally visit such a remote and almost forgotten place?" Yi Shangkun knew he was being hypocritical.
Even without asking, he already knew it must be related to Yi Shangyun.
Yi Shangkun sighed, "I thought I would never see His Highness Prince Qin again in this lifetime. I have been cautious in everything I do since entering the palace, but after all the twists and turns, I have come to this day. I never thought that in my old age, I would have to live a life away from home."
Xuanyuan Han stopped speaking, but still looked somewhat uneasy at the room where Yi Shangyun was, which was emitting a faint candlelight.
After noticing this, Yi Shangkun also looked in the same direction as him and slowly said, "I only realized today that this child is really very different from before she fell into a coma. Perhaps Your Highness should be fairer to her and not hide too many things from her. Perhaps she is stronger and braver than you think."
Xuanyuan Han said firmly, "But I will absolutely not allow her to be in any danger."
Yi Shangkun really didn't know what else to say, so he could only let out a long sigh: "Alas..."
Upon hearing Yi Shangkun's words, Xuanyuan Han suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, what did Pharmacist Yi just say... Yun'er... is she very different from before?"
Yi Shangkun recalled, "Before she suddenly fell into a coma in the mansion for some unknown reason, perhaps because of her appearance, she never left the mansion and was always cautious and timid. She never argued with anyone. Even if she was bullied, she would endure it all as if it didn't exist. I once intended to teach her some medical skills, but unexpectedly, even after studying for several years, she still didn't understand the basic acupoints."
But thinking about what happened tonight, Yi Shangkun was really surprised: "But now, I'm afraid even my medical skills may not be her match."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuanhan suddenly became thoughtful: "He was completely different before and after waking up. Could it really be related to the phoenix phantom that's been circulating in the streets..."
Seeing that Xuanyuan Han seemed to be lost in thought, Yi Shangkun called softly again and again, "Your Highness, Your Highness Prince Qin..."
Xuanyuan Han suddenly came to his senses and said, "Perhaps, Yun'er may have suddenly realized it later! She is a very intelligent woman."
Yi Shangkun smiled.
After much deliberation, he finally spoke, tentatively asking, "I have heard that His Highness Prince Qin is helping His Majesty search for the descendants of the Guardian who have been missing for many years. Is there any progress?"
Xuanyuan Han paused for a moment, then said, "There has been no progress. I suppose the Guardian is truly no longer alive."
"Huh?!" Upon hearing this, Yi Shangkun was immediately stunned.
He then thought to himself, "Could it be that he really doesn't know the secret that Yun'er is the descendant of the Guardian?"
At this moment, Xuan Yuanhan finally steeled his resolve, withdrew his gaze, and bid farewell to Yi Shangkun, saying, "It's getting late, I must go now, take care, Pharmacist Yi!"
Yi Shangkun clasped his hands in a fist salute and solemnly said, "Your Highness, please take care!"
After bidding farewell to Yi Shangkun, the master and servant mounted their horses.
Cheng Liang asked his master, puzzled, "Your Highness, I don't understand. Why is Your Highness so reluctant to part with Miss Yi, yet insists on having Young Master Yi take her away?"
Xuanyuan Han said, "It's precisely because I can't bear to see her in any danger that I can't let her be in any harm."
Cheng Liang said, "Your Highness might not necessarily lose a battle against Dongning."
Xuanyuan Han said, "Mei Zhixuan is not capable of great things and is not worth worrying about. What I am worried about is naturally not the war with Dongning."
Cheng Liang seemed to understand: "Could it be that Your Highness is afraid of... the Emperor?"
Xuanyuan Han remained silent.
Cheng Liang thought for a moment and said, "But now that we have something on the Emperor and Empress Dowager, what is there to be afraid of?"
Xuanyuan Han said, "My brother has always been meticulous and has probably been prepared for this. Moreover, he is extremely suspicious. We must not alert the enemy before we have solid evidence. With Yun'er not here, I will be able to do many things more without any scruples and it will be more convenient for me."
"But isn't Your Highness afraid that once Miss Yi leaves, she will truly misunderstand you and hate you for the rest of her life?" Cheng Liang said worriedly.
Xuanyuan Han sighed and said, "Even if she hates me for the rest of her life, it's better than losing her life."
As the two were talking, Cheng Liang suddenly realized that Xuan Yuanhan was not heading in the direction of returning to the city, so he asked, "Didn't Your Highness just say that you were going back to your residence?"
"Giddy up..." Xuan Yuanhan was only concerned with whipping his horse and urging it on.
At night, Yi Shangyun had just woken up.
Fearing that things might get complicated if they waited too long, Young Master Yi arranged for carriages to take the rest of the Yi family who arrived later on the road.
"Yun'er..." Inside the carriage, Yi Shangkun hesitated, wanting to speak but then stopped.
"What does Father want to say?" Yi Shangyun forced a smile and asked.
After much deliberation, Yi Shangkun asked with mixed feelings, "Have you really made up your mind about your relationship with His Highness Prince Qin?"
Yi Shangyun finally couldn't help but let the faint smile fade from her face, slowly withdrew her gaze, and then gradually lowered her head.
Quietly take the two hands resting on her knees.
Yi Shangkun glanced at Nian Shi, who was sitting opposite Yi Shangyun, and continued, "Some things may not be as they appear on the surface."
After thinking for a long time, Yi Shangyun took a breath and said, "Everything is in the past. Yun'er only hopes to serve her parents well for the rest of her life. Everything else is no longer important..."
Faced with such a sincere and considerate child, Yi Shangkun really didn't know how to speak. Finally, he couldn't help but say, "Actually, His Highness Prince Qin has always firmly believed that the child is his. The reason he didn't want the child anymore is because... because..."
He admitted that he didn't want to move his whole family and leave his hometown at his age.
Although he knew that leaving was the best option for Yi Shangyun's safety and the safety of his whole family.
But he felt he would never have peace of mind for the rest of his life if he kept such a big thing from Yi Shangyun.
After thinking it over, he blurted out, "Because your body isn't suited for pregnancy..."
Upon hearing this, Yi Shangyun looked at Yi Shangkun's face and asked, "Father, what did you say?"
Yi Shangkun couldn't bear to see two people who loved each other so much go their separate ways like this, so he explained, "You suffer from a serious condition. The lump in your body is being compressed as the fetus grows in your womb, and it could rupture at any time, endangering your life. That's why His Highness Prince Qin decided to do that."
"Why?"
