Lu Huai clutched his stomach, leaning against the tree trunk, gritting his teeth as he calculated how likely he was to kill Shu Zhan with a single punch in his current state.
He had intended to carry out his plan today, trying to persuade General Qin and the people in the camp. However, given the current situation... he feared it would have to be postponed until the afternoon.
With a sigh, Lu Huai turned to look at Shu Zhan, who was leaning against a tree trunk.
Last night's undercooked noodles were eaten by Shu Zhan, who ate more than him, and his condition was clearly more serious. Seeing his pale face contorted in pain, Lu Huai thankfully shrank back. Luckily, he was smart enough to give the larger bowl to Shu Zhan.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be Shuzhan who couldn't stand up right now, but him.
"Hey..." Shu Zhan opened his eyes wearily, "Are we still going today?"
"What do you think?" Lu Huai rolled his eyes at him. "If I didn't know you weren't very bright, I would suspect you were a spy sent by the enemy. Knowing that I'm the backbone, you specially gave me a laxative, wanting me to 'go on a rampage'."
Shu Zhan: "..."
"How are you?" Lu Chuan brought over several bags of medicinal herbs wrapped in yellow paper. Looking at the two boys who were in "unbearable pain," he couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.
Lu Huai didn't speak, but instead looked deeply troubled, his brows furrowed, and he weakly looked at Lu Chuan, "Big...Big Brother..."
Lu Huai touched his arm and kicked him, "Be serious, I have a sister-in-law."
Lu Huai shook his head helplessly, "I got some medicine from the doctor to stop diarrhea. Come over quickly and take it to decoct for internal use."
Lu Huai glanced at Shu Zhan, who was leaning against a book and unable to lift his leg, sighed, and stepped forward to take the medicine packet. "Thank you, brother."
Lu Chuan waved his hand, "Don't say any more, hurry up and brew the medicine. Every moment you delay will make you feel uncomfortable."
Lu Huai nodded and was about to go to the mess hall to prepare the medicine when he heard Shu Zhan cry out "Ouch!" Turning around, he saw Shu Zhan clutching his stomach, his face contorted in pain.
"It's...it's happening again...the outhouse..."
"..." Lu Huai touched his nose and exchanged a glance with Lu Chuan. The two shook their heads and smiled in unison.
...
...
Qin Qi had just finished lunch and, supported by Shu Hua and Lele, was slowly strolling around the palace.
She wouldn't resort to a hunger strike, because she wasn't alone. She had children, a husband far away, and other relatives and friends. She knew she wasn't important to Emperor Yuxian; she was merely a woman he couldn't have.
She still had to wait for Lu Huai to come and pick her up, so she had to live well.
One should not have the heart to harm others, but one must be wary of others. Shu Hua tested all the meals one by one with silver needles, and seeing that the silver needles did not turn black, Qin Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she now has Zihui and Lele by her side, they are no match for anyone who intends to harm her. The methods used in the palace are mostly sophisticated; they appear amicable on the surface, but secretly they all dislike each other.
She was also thankful that Emperor Yuxian didn't have a harem of three thousand concubines; otherwise, seeing her like this, they would all surely have come to bully her. On the bright side, Emperor Yuxian had actually saved her a lot of trouble.
However, his merits cannot outweigh his faults. If it weren't for him, she would be sitting in the mansion right now, peacefully awaiting childbirth.
The more Qin Xi thought about it, the more unreasonable Emperor Yu Xian seemed. She pressed her temples and suddenly felt a little tired. "Let's sit down for a while. I'm a bit tired."
Upon hearing this, the two carefully helped her to a chair, worried that she might bump into something.
