Pearl quickly located the position of Yi Shangyun and looked towards it.
But at a glance, she saw the pure white gauze skirt on her clothes, which was stained with blood. Pearl's eyes widened and she let out a scream.
"Blood……"
"There's blood..."
"Girl, you're bleeding..."
At this point, everyone in the clinic stopped what they were doing and turned to look at Yi Shangyun, falling completely silent.
The surroundings were so quiet that even the sound of a pin dropping was clearly audible.
Zhu'er's cry startled even Yi Shangyun herself. Staring at the bright red stain beneath her, she gasped in astonishment, "My child, my child..."
Just when everyone was in a panic and didn't know what to do, Tuoba Ze suddenly rushed in from outside.
Upon seeing Yi Shangyun lying in the corner, looking terrified and helpless, and noticing the bloodstain, they quickly rushed over.
He suddenly crouched down, scooped her up in his arms, and carried her in one smooth motion.
Then he sternly rebuked everyone in the room: "If anything happens to her or the baby in her womb today, I will make you all pay for the consequences that you absolutely cannot afford."
After Tuoba Ze finished speaking, he quickly picked up Yi Shangyun and left.
The women in the room were left looking at each other, seemingly still unable to comprehend what had happened.
Everyone present was trembling with fear.
Once back in his tent, Tuoba Ze stayed by the side of Yi Shangyun, who was unconscious, without leaving his side for a moment.
Until late at night.
He had not eaten or drunk anything all day and had not dared to get up or move at all.
She feared that if she left, Yi Shangyun might wake up and need someone to take care of her, but she wouldn't be there.
Seeing that the usually unruly Tuoba Ze was now so gentle and considerate, and that he had never cared for any woman so much before, was quite a sight.
Zhu'er was already consumed by jealousy and made various excuses to come and go several times, but Tuoba Ze didn't notice.
This time, she finally mustered up her courage and walked in to Tuoba Ze, saying, "Your Highness, go and rest for a while. I will stay with the young lady. As soon as she wakes up, I will inform you."
To everyone's surprise, Tuoba Ze seemed not to hear at all, not even raising his head, his eyes fixed on Yi Shangyun's face.
After a long while, he finally spoke up to refuse her: "No need, this prince is not tired, you may leave!"
After hesitating for a moment, Zhu'er steeled her heart and finally spoke, asking, "Please forgive my impertinence, but does the First Prince like this girl...?"
Upon hearing this, Tuoba Ze's heart finally skipped a beat.
Zhu'er immediately saw through his answer and hurriedly stopped him: "Your Highness, you must not!"
Tuoba Ze replied, "Why not?"
Zhu'er said softly, "She is the woman of Prince Qin, Xuanyuan Han, and she is carrying his child. You surely know what kind of person Prince Qin is without me having to remind you. How could he allow his wife and child to wander outside? One day, she will leave this place and return to Prince Qin's side. There is no future for you and her. So why do you, Your Highness, do this?"
Unexpectedly, after a moment of thought, Tuoba Ze said, "I don't care about any of this. I just want to keep her here for one more day."
Upon hearing this, Zhu'er was shocked and questioned him, "What about the Crown Prince's plan? Are you going to ignore it all? Are you not going to avenge the blood feud of the millions of soldiers who died on our grasslands? Has the Crown Prince forgotten that this grassland under our feet belongs to the people of Western Qin? Even the medical license you just obtained for her during the day was exchanged with the people of Western Qin for more than a hundred fine horses."
How could Tuoba Ze forget the blatant restrictions and humiliations he suffered after the fall of his kingdom? But for now, there was nothing he could do.
In an instant, the hatred that had been stirred up surged into his heart, and Tuoba Ze angrily rebuked her, "You audacious lowly servant, who is your status? What right do you have to question this prince? Get out of here!"
Upon hearing this, Pearl felt deeply wronged.
She bit her lip tightly, swallowing the rest of her words, and then turned and left angrily.
After Pearl left, the room fell silent.
As the saying goes, extreme joy begets sorrow, and extreme misfortune begets good fortune.
The country was destroyed, the family perished, and everything was lost.
He had been having such bad luck for so long, and he had a feeling that his luck was about to change.
As he pondered this, he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "You must be my good fortune. You were sent by heaven to save me, weren't you? You will never leave my side in this lifetime, will you?"
The next morning.
A ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone upon everything on earth; it seemed to be another clear and beautiful day.
In a daze, Yi Shangyun finally slowly opened her eyes.
Then he saw that Tuoba Ze, who had not left all night, was asleep by his bedside.
A sudden feeling of emotion welled up inside her: "I never imagined that such a domineering and fierce face could have such a gentle side. Have you... really changed?"
Suddenly remembering the chaos that had occurred before she lost consciousness, she quickly reached down to touch her abdomen and anxiously asked, "My child?"
As if sensing her movement, Tuoba Ze also woke up at this moment.
Seeing her anxious, he quickly sat up and told her, "Don't worry, the old shaman has already come to see you and said that you only had a miscarriage, the baby is fine, he's alright."
Yi Shangyun was clearly terrified by the sight of blood, so she struggled to sit up and asked again, "Really? My child, are you sure he's alright?"
"It's already autumn on the grasslands, so please take good care of your health."
Tuoba Ze carefully tucked the blanket around her as he said confidently, "Don't worry, I know that you will only stay by my side if this child is safe. So, I will definitely keep you and your child safe."
Upon hearing this, Yi Shangyun sincerely said to him, "Thank you so much this time! If you hadn't arrived in time, I really wouldn't know what I would have done if the child had been hurt."
Upon hearing this, Tuoba Ze suddenly remembered what Zhu'er had said earlier.
After thinking about it, she inexplicably became angry and wanted to test him, so she said, "If this child is really gone, do you not know what to do, or how to explain it to King Xuanyuan Han of Qin?"
When Yi Shangyun suddenly heard the name Xuan Yuanhan, she instinctively felt that it was both familiar and unfamiliar.
"I..." For a moment, he began to stammer, as if he had lost his composure.
So she got angry too, turned her head away and said, "Why did you bring him up for no reason?"
Seeing that she was truly angry, Tuoba Ze quickly realized that he had said the wrong thing.
But instead of comforting her, he said, "Alright, let's not talk about King Xuanyuan Han of Qin for now, let's talk about something else..."
Yi Shangyun's brows relaxed slightly.
But then Tuoba Ze said very seriously, "Let's talk about what happened yesterday..."
Finally, that moment has arrived.
Yi Shangyun knew that Tuoba Ze would not let those women off easily after the chaotic incident that happened in the clinic yesterday, which almost caused her to miscarry.
So he started to stammer and evade the question: "About yesterday..."
Tuoba Ze asked with a rather serious expression, "Do you still remember who pushed you yesterday? This prince will definitely find them and tear them to pieces."
"What?"
"Torn apart by five horses?"
Upon hearing this, Yi Shangyun looked at his face in surprise, and then quickly tried to dissuade him, saying, "You can't do this?"
Yi Shangyun thought to herself, "I just thought you had really changed? How could you become so cruel and heartless again in the blink of an eye!"
So he hurriedly explained.
"Look at me, I'm perfectly fine now, aren't I?"
"You shouldn't pursue this matter any further."
"Besides, they were all doing it for my own good."
"They accompanied me over mountains and valleys to find many precious medicinal herbs."
"Everything at the Cloud Clinic is ready now, except for the official medical license. They were just worried and anxious for me, and that's how they accidentally bumped into me."
...
Before Yi Shangyun could finish speaking, Tuoba Ze's eyes widened in fury, as if he was still terrified by the shocking scene from yesterday.
So he scolded her, "You were lucky yesterday, but what if something had really happened?"
Yi Shangyun assured him, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Tuoba Ze was utterly helpless against the woman's boundless love, which seemed to flow freely regardless of time, place, or person.
In the end, they could only stare at each other for a while before finally giving up.
He then instructed, "This is a one-time exception. There will be no next time. I, the prince, will absolutely not allow you to be in any danger."
As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a small black wooden box from his body and handed it to Yi Shangyun.
Yi Shangyun reached out and took it, asking curiously, "What is this?"
Tuoba Ze instructed her, "Open it and take a look."
In an instant, Yi Shangyun was stunned by the document that had been pulled out of the box and unfolded.
"This is……"
"An official medical license!"
"Where did you get it?"
Tuoba Zedun raised his head and said, "With my status as a prince, do you think I can't obtain a medical license?"
Yi Shangyun was so happy that she didn't know what to say to him.
In the end, all I could say was, "Thank you so much."
Seeing her happy expression, Tuoba Ze felt even happier than she was.
She replied, "Taking good care of yourself is the greatest gratitude you can give me."
He paused, then continued, "If you want to open a clinic to help the women on the grasslands, I, the prince, will not interfere, but..."
Seeing the hidden meaning in his words, Yi Shangyun pressed further, "But what?"
Tuoba Ze thought for a moment and said, "But we must agree that, for the sake of your health, you can only see patients for half a day each day. If you do not agree, I will immediately revoke this medical license!"
As Tuoba Ze spoke, he reached out to pull the object from Yi Shangyun's hand.
"No!" Yi Shangyun quickly hid it behind her back.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "I promise you!"
Finally, on a calm and peaceful day.
The Cloud Clinic has officially opened for business.
