When Yun Qingluo woke up again, she was in a strange and simple house.
Looking at the drafty walls and windows, Yun Qingluo breathed a sigh of relief.
When her gaze fell upon the clothes on the bedside table, Yun Qingluo stiffened, feeling a chill run through her body.
She tried to sit up, but felt completely drained and weak. Coupled with the stinging pain in her shoulders and waist, Yun Qingluo fell back onto the bed with a groan.
Xiao Yi's cold voice echoed in my mind, "You're really something, aren't you? While I was preparing the medicine, you got yourself into this state. If you don't want the child, I can just give you a bowl of medicine to abort it. Why do you have to torture her like this?"
"How can you be so careless about your own body? What kind of mother are you? Tell me..."
Xiao Yi's words were interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Your Highness? Have you woken up?" It was An Jiu's voice.
Yun Qingluo, without bothering to comfort Xiao Yi, told An Jiu to come in.
As soon as she spoke, Yun Qingluo felt her throat become extremely hoarse. Xiao Yi snorted and took out a bottle of clear liquid for Yun Qingluo to drink.
Before An Jiu entered, Yun Qingluo endured the pain and drank the liquid, feeling the pain in her body ease somewhat.
"Thank you, Xiao Yi," Yun Qingluo said telepathically.
Xiao Yi snorted coldly and ignored Yun Qingluo.
An Jiu brought in a bowl of strong-smelling Chinese medicine. Seeing that Yun Qingluo had woken up, he said happily, "Your Highness, this is a medicine to prevent miscarriage that I went to town to get. Please drink it first. The doctor has already examined her, and thankfully the fetus is fine. Otherwise, I would be guilty of a thousand deaths."
Yun Qingluo took it, smelled it, and her expression turned cold.
An Jiu asked anxiously, "Your Highness, what's wrong? Is the medicine wrong?"
Yun Qinglu shook her head. "The prescription is fine, but the dosage is wrong. It will make me give all my own nutrition to the fetus, making my body even weaker."
Upon hearing this, An Jiu immediately took the medicine from Yun Qingluo's hands. Just as he was about to throw the bowl away, Yun Qingluo stopped him, "Dispose of it secretly, don't leave any trace."
An Jiu turned around and asked, "Does Your Highness want them to think you drank it?"
Yun Qingluo leaned against the headboard and nodded weakly, her hand on her stomach, her muscles clenching slightly.
Thankfully, the baby is alright.
When Yun Qingluo and An Jiu returned, she said, "Bring me my shoes."
Upon hearing this, An Jiu was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to stop Yun Qingluo from getting up. "No, Your Highness, you are not in good health to travel. You need to take good care of your injuries."
After saying this, seeing that Yun Qingluo wouldn't listen, she could only bring up Mo Beichen, "Your Highness, if the Prince knew you were injured, he would definitely stab himself in the back, just to empathize with you."
Upon hearing this, Yun Qingluo couldn't help but chuckle. "What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't you notice there's no one in this courtyard?"
An Jiu retorted, "Yes, when I brought the princess here, there was an old lady and a little boy in the house. Eh, strange, while I was away, they all disappeared."
Yun Qingluo laboriously pulled An Jiu's arm to the bedside and said calmly, "They went to inform others. If you keep dawdling, we really won't be able to leave."
Upon hearing this, An Jiu disregarded the truthfulness of the words and quickly helped Yun Qingluo put on her shoes and helped her out of bed. "Your Highness, there's only one horse outside..."
Despite the pain, Yun Qingluo said calmly, "It's alright, you can take me with you."
An Jiu instinctively retorted, "Your Highness, no! The Prince will kill me if he finds out."
Yun Qingluo said, "If I really die here, then the prince will truly kill you. If you keep dawdling, you won't even get to see the prince kill you."
An Jiu pursed his lips, helped Yun Qingluo to the gate, then helped her onto her horse, and clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Your Highness, I apologize."
Yun Qingluo lightly kicked him, "Hurry up."
An Jiu responded, mounted his horse and sat behind Yun Qingluo, trying his best to support her so she wouldn't fall.
But Yun Qingluo was in so much pain she couldn't bear it. "An Jiu, knock me out and leave quickly."
An Jiu glanced at the pale-faced Yun Qingluo, his eyes slightly red, said "good," and then slapped Yun Qingluo unconscious before galloping away on his horse.
In order to leave as soon as possible, An Jiu rode at full speed for several hours. When he guessed that Yun Qingluo was about to wake up, he slowed down.
Yun Qingluo was awakened by the pain. After raising her hand and touching the dampness on her waist, she weakly asked, "Who bandaged my wound?"
Looking at the road ahead, An Jiu whispered, "Is that the old lady from that family? Is there anything amiss, Your Highness?"
Yun Qingluo pressed her wound, "The medicine isn't for stopping bleeding, it's for promoting blood circulation." That's why she's been bleeding nonstop, and I guess her arm and shoulder are too.
The person behind this is truly ruthless.
Upon hearing this, An Jiu felt extremely guilty and immediately stopped his horse, trying to help Yun Qing down. "Damn it, it's my fault."
"It's not your fault, it was my carelessness. Keep going forward, turn right ahead," Yun Qingluo said calmly.
An Jiu glanced at the dense forest to her right and felt a chill run down her spine. "Your Highness, that's the Ghost Forest. There are too many poisonous creatures in there. It's too dangerous."
"It's better if it's dangerous. The more dangerous it is, the safer we are. Let's hurry up and go. They're probably coming after us." Yun Qingluo told An Jiu to find a place to stay in the forest ahead, and she followed after him.
Although An Jiu was worried, Yun Qingluo insisted, so he could only nod and leave.
After An Jiu left, Yun Qingluo hurriedly called to Xiao Yi, "Xiao Yi, quick, give me the hemostatic medicine and the pregnancy-stabilizing medicine."
Xiao Yi's voice was devoid of any emotion, "Aren't you so awesome? Do you need to take medicine?"
Although he said some unpleasant things, he still honestly gave the medicine to Yun Qingluo.
Yun Qingluo first drank the medicine to prevent miscarriage, and then sprinkled the hemostatic powder on her waist, arms and shoulders.
"Xiao Yi, I'm really angry," Yun Qingluo said softly as she walked in the direction An Jiu had left.
Xiao Yi sighed, "I know you feel that you let down your family and Mo Beichen in your previous life, but this is not the way to vent your anger. If you really hurt yourself, wouldn't that only make your loved ones suffer and your enemies rejoice? Why do this?"
"As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. They're just a bunch of grasshoppers after autumn; why are you putting in so much effort?" Xiao Yi continued to complain.
Yun Qingluo's face turned cold as she recalled some things she had seen in the courtyard.
"The matter of the small courtyard should have been arranged by people from other countries. The children's clothes on the bed are not the style commonly seen in the countryside of our Tianmo Kingdom. Instead, they seem to be from the Dongwu Kingdom."
"However, the clothes were placed in such an obvious spot that I saw them the moment I opened my eyes; it seemed like they were deliberately meant for me to see them."
"And there's a bow and arrow hanging on the wall in the courtyard. The way the arrowheads are made is from Dongwu Kingdom, not ours," Yun Qingluo continued.
