With her best friend by her side, Cui Yulu didn't feel lonely, but every night she would think of Fu Xiaoyu.
Tonight I'm having nightmares.
In the dream, Fu Xiaoyu was covered in blood, fighting fiercely, emerging from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and finally smiling at her.
Cui Yulu was startled awake by this dream, and unease and agitation filled her mind.
She had many prophetic dreams, each one so vivid that it frightened her.
"Yulu, what's wrong? I could hear you shouting from next door."
Third Sister quickly pushed the door open and came in, then went up to hug her.
"Third Sister, I just had a nightmare. In the dream, Fu Xiaoyu was fighting all over himself, covered in blood. It was terrifying. I feel very uneasy. Could he be injured?"
Cui Yulu also hugged San Niang, constantly talking about the scenes in her dream.
"Pah, dreams are always the opposite of reality. You dreamt he was covered in blood, but who knows whose blood it was? Don't worry. This isn't the only war he's been through. He's survived before, so he'll be fine now. Just go to sleep peacefully. Maybe good news will come tomorrow."
After finally calming her down, San Niang saw that she was still not sleeping soundly, so she stayed and slept with her.
During the night, Cui Yulu made a fuss several times, and each time it took Du Sanniang a lot of persuasion before she would finally fall asleep.
It wasn't until early morning that the two of them finally fell into a deep sleep.
But just as I fell asleep, a servant came in to report some news.
Han Chunying had received Lin Yun's letter early on and stopped the servant.
She was not allowed to tell Cui Yulu the truth.
To avoid her being unable to accept the facts, and because any mishap would be something they couldn't afford.
Cui Yulu didn't wake up until noon.
The charcoal fire burning brightly in the room made her somewhat anxious.
"It's too hot in this room, I'm not used to sleeping here. Could you turn the charcoal fire down a bit?"
Cui Yulu ordered the servants to take some charcoal away, but San Niang stopped her.
"You silly girl, you're pregnant now and can't stand the cold. You're just feeling anxious because something's on your mind. Drink this calming soup and you'll feel better in a little while."
Third Sister brought the calming soup to her.
He gestured for her to drink it.
“Third Sister, I dreamt three times last night that Fu Xiaoyu was injured, each time more serious than the last. I always felt that this matter was not so simple. We are connected by a Heart-Connecting Gu, and I can feel his pain, so I think he must be injured.”
After listening attentively to her, Third Sister placed the medicine on the table and asked, "So what do you want to say? Are you going to the battlefield to find him?"
Even if Fu Xiaoyu is injured at this time, there is nothing they can do but wait for him to recover and return. Now, Cui Yulu has two or even three heartbeats in one body, so she cannot be willful.
"Third Sister, I want to go find him. I'm worried about him. I should have gone with him."
Du Sanniang angrily pushed her forehead.
"You little brat, you just do whatever comes to mind. Don't you know what kind of body you're in? If you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about the little one in your belly. What if something goes wrong with them? How would you feel? I doubt Fu Xiaoyu would want to see her child in danger either, would she?"
Du San Niang's words were like a wake-up call for Cui Yulu, instantly bringing her to her senses.
She is not alone now; there is another heartbeat inside her body, and this heartbeat carries half of Fu Xiaoyu's blood.
This prevented her from doing anything reckless.
"But I'm worried about his safety, what should I do?"
"If there's no news from over there, then everything's fine. Don't scare yourself like this because of a few dreams. You'll be alright. Take your medicine and get some more sleep."
Cui Yulu obediently drank the medicine, but she felt that something was wrong, though she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.
Han Chunying dismissed all the servants before daring to slowly walk into Cui Yulu's room.
At this moment, she didn't know how to face Cui Yulu.
Lin Yun's letter stated that Fu Xiaoyu's whereabouts were currently unknown, but she forbade Lin Yun to tell Cui Yulu, fearing that it would worry her and affect her health.
However, she wasn't one to keep secrets, and now that she was with Cui Yulu, her heart was pounding like a drum.
Especially after hearing that Cui Yulu hadn't slept well all night and kept waking up in nightmares about Fu Xiaoyu's bad condition, she felt even worse if she didn't come.
"Yulu, you're awake. Can you take a look and see how my tiger-head hat embroidery is?"
Han Chunying breathed a sigh of relief and mustered up her courage before daring to take the tiger-head hat into the house.
Cui Yulu noticed that her expression was somewhat unnatural, and it was clear that she hadn't come specifically to ask about the tiger-head hat.
"That's easy, just give it to me and I'll add a few stitches."
Cui Yulu took the tiger-head hat and carefully added a few stitches to the tiger's head, and soon the little tiger came to life.
"Yulu, you're so skillful. You brought this little tiger back to life with just a few simple stitches. You're amazing."
Han Chunying held up the hat and praised it softly.
"Chunying, has Lin Yun sent any letters recently? Is there any news about the Prince?"
Sure enough, as soon as she asked the question, Han Chunying's hand trembled involuntarily.
His expression became even more unnatural.
"Lin Yun hasn't sent any letters for a while now, and I'm really worried about her. I don't know how things are going over there, but they are all seasoned veterans, so they should be fine."
