Her heart was filled with faith and hope, as if a ray of light was guiding her in the darkness. She knew that as long as she persevered, the dawn of life would come.
As night fell and the moonlight shone like silver, Xu Yuehuai hurriedly led Qi Guze and the Ghost Doctor to the courtyard. The moment they stepped inside, they saw Xiaolian lying on the bed, her face pale and unconscious.
Xu Yuehuai hurriedly walked over, squatted down, gently took Xiaolian's hand, and showed deep worry in his eyes.
"Ghost Doctor, I'm entrusting Xiaolian to you!" Xu Yuehuai's tone carried an undeniable firmness.
The Ghost Doctor nodded, saying nothing more, but took out an acupuncture kit from his medicine box. He squatted down and began to insert needles into Xiao Lian's body, each needle precise and accurate, as if he were playing a silent melody.
As the Ghost Doctor performed acupuncture, Xiao Lian's complexion gradually improved, and her tightly furrowed brows relaxed.
Seeing this, Xu Yuehuai breathed a sigh of relief, her tense nerves finally relaxing. However, at that moment, she suddenly felt dizzy, her vision went black, and she lost consciousness.
"Yuehuai!" Qi Guze exclaimed, rushing forward to embrace Xu Yuehuai. He saw that Xu Yuehuai's face was pale and her eyes were closed, and a nameless panic welled up in his heart.
The Ghost Doctor also hurriedly came over and took Xu Yuehuai's pulse. After a moment, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Your Highness, the Princess Consort is pregnant!" The Ghost Doctor's voice was tinged with excitement.
Upon hearing this, Qi Guze was taken aback at first, then a complex expression appeared on his face. He was happy for Xu Yuehuai's pregnancy, but also worried about her health.
He secretly blamed himself for not arriving sooner, causing Xu Yuehuai so much pain.
Qi Guze gently picked up Xu Yuehuai; her body appeared so small and fragile in his arms. He looked up at the Ghost Doctor, a resolute glint in his eyes: "Let's go back to the palace first."
On the way back to the palace, Qi Guze held Xu Yuehuai tightly in his arms, as if afraid she would suddenly disappear. His face was full of worry and heartache, and he would frequently look down to check on Xu Yuehuai's condition.
The Ghost Doctor followed silently beside him, but his eyes shone with concern.
Upon returning to the palace, Qi Guze immediately ordered someone to place Xu Yuehuai on his bed.
He looked at her pale yet peaceful face, and a deep tenderness welled up in his heart. He gently held her hand and whispered her name: "Yuehuai, you must be strong, for our child."
At Qi Guze's call, Xu Yuehuai slowly opened her eyes. Seeing the worry in Qi Guze's eyes, a warm feeling welled up inside her. She smiled softly, her voice weak: "Aze, I'm alright."
Upon hearing this, Qi Guze breathed a sigh of relief. He held Xu Yuehuai's hand tightly, his eyes shining with determination: "Yuehuai, once the matters of the four kingdoms are resolved, I will definitely stay by your side and never abandon you."
Xu Yuehuai's eyes were filled with tears, she was overjoyed and moved. How wonderful it would be if that day really came!
Night gently enveloped the palace, and Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai lay side by side on the bed, the atmosphere between them warm and peaceful.
Xu Yuehuai suddenly asked, "What's the situation in the border town lately?"
Qi Guze spoke softly, his voice revealing confidence in the border town: "Yuehuai, everything is fine in the border town, and the four kingdoms are about to usher in true peace."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai's tense nerves finally relaxed. She smiled slightly, her eyes full of relief: "That's really great, all of this is finally about to end."
However, she did not notice the deep look that flashed in Qi Guze's eyes.
He hid many things, hoping only to put her at ease.
Looking at Xu Yuehuai sitting on the bed, his eyes were full of tenderness and determination.
“Yuehuai,” he called softly, his voice revealing an unprecedented firmness, “I remember everything that happened before.”
Xu Yuehuai was stunned. Her eyes widened, and her face was full of disbelief.
She sat up quickly on the bed, gripping his arm tightly with both hands, her voice trembling: "Really? You really remember everything?"
Qi Guze nodded, his eyes full of seriousness and affirmation.
He gently took Xu Yuehuai's hand, looked at her deeply, and then slowly said, "Yes, I remember everything. When we first met, we encountered many troubles, and you and I solved them together. Especially that incident with the bandits, you risked your life to deal with them in order to protect me. I remember those scenes clearly."
Upon hearing this, a hint of joy welled up in Xu Yuehuai's eyes.
She suddenly threw herself into Qi Guze's arms, hugging him tightly as if trying to meld him into her own body. Her voice trembled with excitement: "Qi Guze, you really remembered everything? I'm so happy, so happy..."
Qi Guze also hugged Xu Yuehuai tightly, his heart filled with emotion and determination.
He took a deep breath and then slowly said, "Yuehuai, I will never forget you again. No matter what happens, I will remember you and the feelings between us. I will use all my strength to protect you and love you."
As Xu Yuehuai listened to Qi Guze's words, a wave of emotion welled up in her heart.
She hugged Qi Guze tightly, as if trying to absorb her emotions into him. Her tears streamed down her face, dripping onto Qi Guze's chest and wetting it.
The two embraced tightly, as if time had stood still. Night deepened outside the window, and moonlight bathed them, adding a touch of romance and beauty to the scene.
After an unknown amount of time, Qi Guze gently released Xu Yuehuai.
He looked into her eyes and smiled gently, "Yuehuai, we have so many things to do in the future. I'll go with you to the ends of the earth and do everything you want to do, okay?"
Xu Yuehua nodded, a happy smile spreading across her face.
She took Qi Guze's hand and began to talk about the past, their plans and dreams for the future. Their voices were gentle and deep, like a beautiful melody echoing in the night sky.
The night grew deeper, but the two people on the bed showed no signs of weariness. Their eyes were filled with love and warmth, as if the whole world was surrounded by their love.
This was their happiest and most genuine moment; they were willing to embrace each other until dawn rather than separate.
...
Sunlight streamed through the delicate window frames, casting dappled shadows on the smooth floor.
Qi Guze sat quietly by the bed, holding a bowl of steaming medicine in his hands, his eyes focused and affectionate as he gazed at Xu Yuehuai lying on the bed.
