“Yes, go change your clothes, and we’ll go have breakfast,” Yun Zhuo said, then glanced back at the yard littered with animal carcasses and blood, and said, “Just have the steward arrange for someone to clean this up.”
Ye Qingxue glanced back at the courtyard and saw only a few fallen leaves. The strong wind from her whip had shaken the leaves down.
Besides, there was nothing else in the yard; it was very clean.
However, Yun Zhuo said to clean up if she wanted to, since it wasn't a big problem anyway.
Moreover, she was covered in sweat from practicing whipping and definitely needed to change into clean clothes.
A quarter of an hour later, the couple sat in the dining room, and Yun Zhuo kept bringing food to Ye Qingxue.
Ye Qingxue found it amusing: "I'm not a child. I can get what I want to eat myself. You don't need to take care of me all the time."
Yun Zhuo stared intently at her, his eyes filled with deep affection and concern. He suddenly gripped Ye Qingxue's hand tightly.
"I'll be quite busy for a while, so if you have any worries, please remember to tell me."
After thinking it over, he was still worried, so he added, "If you'd like to come with me to survey the canal's terrain, that's fine too."
Ye Qingxue smiled and brushed his hand away: "Go in peace. I have no worries. Just remember to take care of yourself and come home on time, or I'll worry."
She doesn't want to go out right now; she wants to stay home and find the venomous snake that's watching them from behind.
After all, she and Yun Zhuo are currently preparing for pregnancy, and she wants to bring the baby into this world safely and resolve any potential dangers before she can feel at ease.
However, Ye Qingxue does have a worry: the poison in Yun Zhuo's body hasn't been cured. Will their child be healthy?
What if the baby is born tormented by toxins? Wouldn't that be a terrible mistake for the parents?
Ye Qingxue decided that after breakfast, she would go to Xiangsizi to ask her questions and then ask Mo Yuan to help her with a divination.
So, after Yun Zhuo went out to survey the terrain, Ye Qingxue also went to get busy. She first went to see Xiang Si Zi and told her about her worries.
Xiangsizi said, "I have indeed encountered this situation before: the parents were poisoned or sick, and the child was born also poisoned or had the same disease."
"But there are exceptions. Some people are poisoned or sick and will not pass it on to their children. However, if the Crown Princess is really worried, she can wait until His Highness the Crown Prince has completely recovered from the poison before getting pregnant."
Ye Qingxue's heart sank to the bottom.
She went to find Mo Yuan.
Mo Yuan still had some white hair at his temples, and he looked very weak. It was clear that the last time he told Xiao Bao's fortune, he had exhausted his energy and he would not be able to tell fortunes again for a while.
However, he could still answer Ye Qingxue's question: "Since His Highness the Crown Prince's poison is still not cured, why not wait until he is cured before trying to conceive? The divination last time indicated that Xiao Bao wouldn't be back so soon. You are still young, so waiting won't hurt."
Ye Qingxue frowned: "What do you mean by not coming back so soon?"
Mo Yuan smiled and said, "For example, if we want to eat, don't we have to buy rice and cook first? If we want to live in a new house, don't we have to build the house first? Xiao Bao is coming back, and he also needs to complete his mission first, although I don't know what the mission is. But the Crown Princess will have to wait patiently."
Ye Qingxue felt very heavy-hearted on her way back to the Crown Prince's residence.
Xiao Bao was only five years old when he came.
If he had never been born, he would have remained a baby. What task would he have been tasked with?
Ye Qingxue thought about how she had been reborn, and she was worried that Xiao Bao's soul might be trapped, or that Xiao Bao had paid a huge price to save her and was now suffering greatly, so he couldn't come to her side soon.
Just thinking about it made her heart ache so much she could hardly breathe.
When Ye Qingxue returned to the Crown Prince's residence, it was already getting dark. Upon learning that Yun Zhuo had not yet returned, she simply stood under a large tree in the front yard, enjoying the cool evening breeze, and waited for Yun Zhuo to come back.
Grey Seven and White Seven ran over from a distance, jumped around her for a while, then squatted down next to her, nibbling on each other's fur, looking very affectionate.
Looking at them, Ye Qingxue felt a slight pain in her heart subside, and a smile finally appeared on her face.
Yun Zhuo was out today, and he kept thinking about the bloody scene he saw in the morning. He was very worried about Ye Qingxue, so he went to the door as soon as Ye Qingxue returned home.
As soon as he stepped into the Crown Prince's residence, he froze again, as if struck by lightning, his face turning deathly pale.
"Stop!" Yun Zhuo shouted, rushing over to grab Ye Qingxue's arm and yanking her away violently, growling in pain, "What are you doing!"
