"Achen, how's that dumb uncle?"
Han Yichen stayed in the room for a full hour before coming out. Hua Qingcheng saw that he looked a little tired, so she stepped forward and took his arm.
"It's not a big problem. He wasn't poisoned and injured for long. After a few days of medication and recuperation, his eyesight and hands and feet will be back to normal." Han Yichen shook Hua Qingcheng's hand and smiled at her.
"Sister... no, brother, you are so awesome!" Chuncao, who was standing aside, heard this and looked at Han Yichen with admiration.
"Oh……"
"Of course! Little brat, don't you see who did it?"
Han Yichen glanced at Chuncao, only to see the corners of his lips curled up, his chin raised slightly in a proud manner. In Hua Qingcheng's eyes, his smug expression was exactly like the rooster in the chicken coop in the front yard of the Hua residence, who loved to cock-a-doodle-doo with his neck held high.
As the saying goes, "one egg a day, put the knife and axe aside", ever since the rooster was rescued from Hua Qingcheng's kitchen knife by Yu Xiaotian, it has laid an egg every day without fail. It has been laying an egg for almost four months now, which has also established its destiny of living out its old age in the Hua family in peace and happiness.
"Where is my second brother?"
After Han Yichen came out of the room, he didn't see Situ Ye and the beggar leader, so he asked casually.
"Aye and that uncle went to the study to chat."
"Forget it, let's ignore them. By the way, Xiao Qingcheng, I forgot to tell you something..." Han Yichen took Hua Qingcheng's hand and went back to sit in the pavilion in the garden.
"What's the matter?" Seeing Han Yichen's excited look, Hua Qingcheng couldn't help but feel a little curious.
"Dad is pregnant!"
"Dad? Are you pregnant?" Hua Qingcheng looked towards the wing room suspiciously.
"Not this dad! Ugh! It's hard to say whether the man in the wing room is my dad! I mean, your dad is pregnant!"
When Hua Qingcheng heard this, a thousand words of "Oh My God" suddenly flashed through her mind.
“Puff…”
"Mom, she..."
“That’s amazing!”
This is simply...
Amazing!
That old man Hua who had been putting birth-inducing talismans on her every now and then since she came here, actually got pregnant?
This huge reversal made Hua Qingcheng laugh until she cried.
"Dad is still feeling embarrassed, you can't laugh in front of him."
"That's natural."
Hua Qingcheng suppressed her joking, but her glittering, cunning eyes betrayed her good mood. She thought it would be nice for Old Man Hua to have another child. Then he wouldn't have to worry so much about whether or when she had one...
"I think Dad cares about you the most. He is always worried that you will be unhappy!" Han Yichen poked Hua Qingcheng's face, which was red with laughter.
"Why should I be unhappy? It's a great thing for the Hua family to have a new baby. I can't be more happy! If dad is worried that he can't take care of it, the worst that can happen is to hire a few more people." Hua Qingcheng said indifferently.
Not to mention that if Old Man Hua gave birth to one child, even if he gave birth to an army, Hua Qingcheng would have enough food to support them.
"That's good if you don't mind. I see Dad has already picked out the names for the children, and he must be very happy. He said that no matter whether the boy or girl is a girl, they will be called Qingguo."
"A country that has fallen? A country that has fallen?"
Hua Qingcheng's lips twitched slightly when she heard this. Needless to say, this name suited her quite well. It was obvious from the moment she heard it that they were siblings.
"Xiao Qingcheng, there's one more thing... I want to tell you, but don't be anxious."
Looking at Hua Qingcheng's cheerful face, Han Yichen felt reluctant to hit her, but he still had to say it.
"What is it?"
Seeing Han Yichen's face suddenly become serious, Hua Qingcheng also stopped joking.
"Fourth brother... he was poisoned by Zhaoyang State's Imperial Master Ran Qi's Heart-Eroding Gu under the Moonlight."
"Heart-Eroding Gu? What is that?"
Hua Qingcheng couldn't help but frown when she heard this. She didn't expect that this legendary witchcraft actually existed?
"This was crafted by Ran Qiyue, the Imperial Master of Zhaoyang Nation. It's a sinister sorcery technique that uses the mother Gu to manipulate the offspring, ultimately controlling the victim. Once the poison takes effect, the victim will experience excruciating pain, as if their heart and bones were being pierced by a drill. It's incredibly vicious."
"What? Ah Chen, why didn't you tell me earlier? And how could Xiaotian... how could he be involved with the Imperial Preceptor of Zhaoyang Kingdom?"
It’s Zhaoyang Kingdom again!
Brother Li had a deep blood feud with the current Emperor of Zhaoyang. Aye's previous life, Tianlang, was also the victim of Su Mu Tianjun's scheme, tragically piercing his heart with thousands of arrows. Now, someone told her that Silang Xiaotian had been inflicted with a heart-eating poison by the Zhaoyang Kingdom's imperial preceptor. Was she destined to be incompatible with the Zhaoyang Kingdom?
"Xiao Qingcheng, don't worry. The day I set out for the capital is also the day my eldest brother and my second master take my fourth brother to Xuanyi Valley for treatment. Calculating the date, they should have arrived a long time ago."
"Second Master?"
"Yes. It was because Second Master brought the Xiangyun Horse back that I was able to reach the capital so quickly."
"Does your Second Master have a way to cure Xiaotian's poison?"
"Second Master said there are two ways to cure Xiaotian's Gu poison. One is for the person who poisoned him to use the mother Gu to draw out the child Gu, and the other is to use a thousand-year-old ice toad to suck out the child Gu. However, in this way... the ice toad will die. Second Master has two ice toads. One has been given to you, and the other is still in Xuanyi Valley. Every day of delay means that Fourth Brother will suffer for another day, so Big Brother, Second Master and Fourth Brother went directly to Xuanyi Valley."
"Your second master... well, just consider it as me, Hua Qingcheng, owing him a big favor!"
"Xiao Qingcheng, and..."
"Achen, pack your things, we'll leave tomorrow morning."
"Where are you going?"
"Xuanyi Valley."
"good."
Han Yichen glanced in the direction of the compartment. Although the man had not recovered yet, the worst that could happen was that he could take him along.
That afternoon, Hua Qingcheng brought up the matter of returning to Huaqiao Village with Prime Minister Situ Luoyun and his husband. Although Yuwen Tianqi had some objections, he was ultimately wary of his wife, the Prime Minister, and said nothing more.
After bidding farewell to the Prime Minister and his wife, Hua Qingcheng went to the General's Mansion to say goodbye to Feng Cailan, Yu Jingyang, Feng Qiyan, General Feng, and Mulanjin. Although Feng Jingyun was reluctant to part with her new granddaughter, considering her granddaughter's special status and for her safety, she nodded in agreement.
In the evening, Hua Qingcheng and Han Yichen returned to the Binyue Inn in the city. Situ Ye and Si Chengfeng also packed their bags and arrived at the inn one after the other, along with Kang Fulai.
"Aye, Afeng, I'm sorry! Xiaotian is in trouble, and I have to rush back as soon as possible. If you want to stay at home for a while, you can return to Fufeng County later."
"Things have their priorities. We can come back next time. Xiaotian's matter is more important now." Situ Ye held Hua Qingcheng's hand, unable to bear to see her guilty look.
"Qingcheng, wherever you are, I will be there." Si Chengfeng also smiled warmly at Hua Qingcheng.
Hua Qingcheng opened her arms, wanting to hug one on each side, but was directly pulled away by Han Yichen.
"Xiao Qingcheng, the wound on your hand hasn't healed yet, you need to rest well..."
