Xiao Yize finally returned to the inn. When he pushed open the door of the wing, Yao Shaoqing had just fallen asleep, and his whole body was drenched as if he had been fished out of the water.

Xiao Yize approached the bed with light steps, Yao Shaoqing was very thin, and when he fell asleep, he lay on the bed and almost disappeared when the quilt was covered.

He hadn't seen Yao Shaoqing for several days, since he was pregnant, Xiao Yize rarely had the chance to get close to him.

Yao Shaoqing always likes to sleep on his side when he sleeps, with his body slightly curled up and his hands on his chest, which is a very insecure sleeping position.

The thin quilt covered him, and the curvature of his stomach was particularly obvious as if all the flesh in his body had grown to his stomach.

Xiao Yize stretched out his hand to touch the fetus in his womb, Yao Shaoqing was a light sleeper and vaguely felt that someone had entered the room. When he opened his eyes, he found that Xiao Yize was bending over and wanted to reach out to touch his belly.

Sitting up abruptly, he took a big step back, hugged the quilt in his arms, and looked at Xiao Yize warily.

"What were you going to do?"

Xiao Yize's heart was stung by the defense in his eyes, he withdrew his hand that was suspended in mid-air, his five fingers were clenched tightly, and the nails almost fell into the palm of his hand.

"This Prince... just came to see you."

Yao Shaoqing obviously didn't believe it and wrapped his hands around his stomach in a protective posture.

"The prince said that he would not hurt my child. Has the prince even forgotten what he said?"

He arched his back slightly, because his stomach was hurting after he got up too much just now, and his face was pale with sweat dripping from his forehead.

Xiao Yize froze in place, not daring to get closer to Yao Shaoqing. He looked down at Yao Shaoqing, recalling what had happened in the palace, his face suddenly turned pale.

It was early spring when Yao Shaoqing found out that he was pregnant. The child came unexpectedly. No one thought that there would be an offspring between the two of them.

Xiao Yize managed to feel compassion for Yao Shaoqing but was told by the imperial physician that Yao Shaoqing was not suitable for having children.

His marriage to Yao Shaoqing was forced, and Bianjun was growing in power, In order to restrain the development of Bianjun, Emperor Youdu, and the Queen Mother, arranged for the Youngest son of King Jiangbian, Prince Yao Shaoqing to marry Prince Duan.

But Yao Shaoqing took poison all year round, and the accumulation of toxins in the body to suppress each other did not kill him, Once you have a child, there are only two consequences—

Either when the child is giving birth, all the toxins in the body are introduced to the child to save the adult, but the adult's body will also be damaged,

Or...introduce toxins to the fetus during pregnancy, and abort the child when it is less than three months old so that the adult can be safe and sound.

Xiao Yize had just realized his feelings for Yao Shaoqing, but he had to face the most difficult choice.

He made the decision for Yao Shaoqing without hesitation, He asked for abortion medicine from Imperial Hospital, but haven't fed it into Yao Shaoqing's mouth yet, Yao Shaoqing, who knew the properties of medicine from elementary school, smelled something wrong with the medicine,  and knocked it all over the ground with a wave of his hand.

Yao Shaoqing thought that during the year of marrying Xiao Yize, he dutifully abided by all the unruly rules set by Xiao Yize, but he never thought that Xiao Yize would not want this child.

He didn't even want to listen to Xiao Yize's explanation, he stumbled up from the bed and knelt down in front of Xiao Yize without saying a word.

He kowtowed his head again and again, and soon the skin on his forehead was broken, and blood slipped from between his brows, staining the tears in his eyes.

"My lord, my lord! I don't want anything, please, let me give birth to this child. Please, I don't want anything."

Yao Shaoqing cried hoarsely, kowtowed as if unconscious, Xiao Yize's hand hanging by his side tightened and then loosened, and finally turned around and left the bedroom with a flick of his sleeve.

From that day on, Yao Shaoqing began to reject anything Xiao Yize sent over.

Xiao Yize was a little lost in thought, staring blankly at Yao Shaoqing's protruding wrist bones. His wrist is so thin, it seems that it will break if he holds it lightly.

"I just came to see you. I heard from Liu Cong that you can't eat for a few days. I asked the accompanying military doctor to see you—"

"Thank you, my lord, for your kindness, which I can't bear it. It's, even more, deeper and heavier. It's better for my lord to go back to my room early to rest. There are still many things to deal with tomorrow."

Yao Shaoqing, who always rely on him, suddenly became so indifferent, Xiao Yize felt very uncomfortable. He clenched his fists tightly, the veins on his forehead popped out, and he instinctively raised his hand to slap him across the face. But after seeing Yao Shaoqing's pale face, all the anger disappeared and could only be turned into a sigh.

"Forget it, this prince is going, you... have a good rest."

Xiao Yizegui is Prince Duan, and he felt ashamed when he bumped into a wall with Yao Shaoqing, so he turned around and left the wing.

There was a creak, followed by footsteps that gradually disappeared.

Yao Shaoqing breathed a sigh of relief and lost strength all over his body, the pain in the bottom of his abdomen spread densely up, all the way to the bottom of his heart.

Even though Fang Jun had controlled the refugees in their houses, many people in Yancheng went to the medical clinic and pharmacy the next day because of high fever and coughing. Panic.

Yan Cheng helped Song Jinshu into the quilt, and Liu Cong came to inform the two about the epidemic the next day, Yan Cheng and Song Jinshu stayed in the wing room for the past two days and did not go out.

But from last night, Song Jinshu started to have a high fever, chanting the same words back and forth.

Yan Cheng took care of him without touching the ground, and the doctors in the medical center could not be hired at all. Yan Cheng's eyes were red from anxiety, and he became very thin within two or three days.

Song Jinshu held Yan Cheng's hand and pulled him to sit beside the bed.

His throat was burning so badly that he couldn't even utter a single breath. He opened his mouth and found that he couldn't make a sound at all, so he rubbed Yan Cheng's skin with his thumb affectionately.

He wanted to tell Yan Cheng that he was fine.

Yan Cheng couldn't sit still, he wished he could go out of the inn to the medical hall and tie the doctor with a rope. In the end, it was Liu Cong who brought Yao Shaoqing to get Song Jinshu's pulse.

Not seeing her for a few days, Yao Shaoqing became thinner than before, and the dark blue under his eyes made his complexion even paler.

Yao Shaoqing grew up in Border County since he was a child, and studied medicine with his master for ten years. He sat by the bed, put his slender fingers on the inside of Song Jinshu's wrist, and his face changed after a while.

Song Jinshu just had a high fever, and he didn't have a rash on his body, which was different from the symptoms of the refugees outside.

Yan Cheng was lucky enough to think that maybe Song Jinshu fell ill because of changing to a new environment because he was not acclimatized, but what Yao Shaoqing said next made his whole heart hang.

"Jin Shu is pregnant."
