"What?" Ling Qi's steps became unsteady. After hearing this, he felt no joy at becoming a father, only a myriad of sorrows.
Ling Qi didn't know how to face Bai Lu after she woke up.
Sigh, if only he had been more careful back then... Now look what's happened, they already have a child.
Ling Ba looked at Ling Qi with disdain: "Congratulations, you're going to be a father."
Ling Qi looked dejected and ignored Ling Ba's mockery.
Qiu Yan got up and walked towards the person she had just shot.
It was a masked man dressed in black.
She lifted the man's mask, revealing a completely unfamiliar face.
Ling Qi, carrying Bai Lu, followed closely behind.
"He was from the Northern Qi dynasty."
Qiu Yan nodded. She had just had a disagreement with Qi Yuan, and this time, it was possible that Qi Yuan had sent someone to seek revenge on her.
Not just in border areas, but wherever there are people, there is conflict.
...General's Mansion,
Qiu Yan followed Ling Qi to the side courtyard to check Bai Lu's injuries.
The man was carried back by Ling Ba and taken to the dungeon, where they planned to find a doctor to keep him alive.
The location of the arrow was too dangerous. Qiu Yan didn't know if it had pierced her heart, so she dared not pull it out rashly.
"Xiao Yan, she..." Ling Qi's voice was somewhat somber. After all, she was his first woman, and he really didn't want to see her die.
"Ling Qi, go to the pharmacy quickly and buy some medicine for your injuries. Remember, be quick," Qiu Yan said as she wrote down the names of the medicines.
In her daze, Bai Lu called out, "Father..."
Ling Qi looked at Bai Lu's furrowed brows and nodded, "Okay, I'll go right away."
After pondering for a moment, Qiu Yan waited for Ling Qi to return with the medicine, and with Ling Qi's help, she began to take action...
At this moment, Gu Qian returns.
He learned from Ling Ba that Qiu Yan had been attacked again today, and his brows furrowed. He quickly went to find Qiu Yan.
He didn't care whether Bai Lu was injured or not; his only concern was Qiu Yan.
Inside the side courtyard, the stench of blood filled the air.
Ling Qi was distraught as she looked at the bloody scene before her.
Qiu Yan, who was busy with her subordinates, remained unusually calm.
Fortunately for Bailu, the arrow was located very close to her heart.
Although it didn't hit the heart directly, it was still near the edge of the heart, making it somewhat troublesome for Qiu Yan to treat.
As soon as Gu Qian arrived, he saw Qiu Yan diligently working in the room.
Only then did Gu Qian realize that Qiu Yan was dressed in men's clothing.
He stood silently in the courtyard, not going forward to disturb him.
"Gu Qian, you should go back and rest first." Qiu Yan saw Gu Qian and knew that he had also been busy all day, so she told him to go back and rest first.
Gu Qian refused, "I'm not tired."
Seeing Qiu Yan treating Bai Lu's injuries with Ling Qi's help, Gu Qian stood in the courtyard, pacing back and forth.
During this time, Ling Ba also told Gu Qian everything that had happened to Qiu Yan that day.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qian's deep eyes seemed unfathomable.
He couldn't allow such a dangerous woman to be by Qiu Yan's side.
He paced back and forth, trying to sort out his jumbled thoughts.
At this moment, Ling Qi arrived at the side courtyard carrying several packets of medicine for injuries.
He nodded briefly to Gu Qian, then went directly into the room and handed the medicine to Qiu Yan.
After carefully treating Bai Lu's wound, Qiu Yan slowly pulled out the arrowhead, stopped the bleeding, bandaged it, applied medicine, and advised her to rest...
Gu Qian waited until 9 PM before he saw Ling Qi emerge from the room, exhausted, ready to get some fresh air.
Qiu Yan followed closely behind and, seeing that Gu Qian had been waiting outside, approached him.
