Chapter 230: Yu Kuang Slowly Warming Up
“What? Stomach pain?” Despite his age, Yu Kuang was still innocent about these kinds of things. He still had an innocent body after all, despite his age. How would he know the significance of a stomachache to a woman? In his mind, even though she’d fallen, there was no way she could have suffered heavy injuries from such a fall. “Don’t move. I will summon Long Heng.”
“Carry to the bed. Sothing feels wrong,” Bai Xiangxiu no longer moved an inch as a possible reason flashed through her mind. Yu Kuang had no choice but to carry her onto the bed, only to have Long Heng enter the tent at that precise mont. He glared at Yu Kuang furiously, but the latter didn’t seem to realize that this was a situation that called for an explanation. Danger seed to be escalating.
“Stop glaring at each other! Go summon a doctor now! If you go any later, it might co at the cost of a life!” I’m going to be so pissed if it really is what I think it is. How long has it been since I last gave birth?! Long Heng, do you have to be so efficient? This is going to be hell if my life is going to be like this!
Long Heng quickly ordered soone to summon the doctor when he heard the term ‘cost of a life.” He thought that they’d done sothing to her. The doctor took Bai Xiangxiu’s pulse for a long ti without saying a word. She suddenly felt that there might be another explanation for all this. Could this be due to a very intense greeting of that ti of the month instead?
The doctor looked at Long Heng while Bai Xiangxiu was still caught up in her thoughts. He hesitated for a bit before saying, “General. This young sir here... his pulse is a little odd. I... I...” How could this kind of pulse co from a man? Was his skill deteriorating because he’d been treating battle wounds for such a long ti without making any diagnoses?
Bai Xiangxiu imdiately caught his drift, “I’m actually a woman.”
“W-woman... why didn’t you tell that earlier? I was almost frightened to death.” The doctor didn’t know her true identity, so his tone beca a bit resigned as relief flooded him.
“Uh... what’s wrong?” Long Heng noticed that their choice of words was a little unusual, which was why he imdiately asked.
“Why don’t we send this gentleman outside first?”
Yu Kuang furrowed his brows but still left the room. This made Long Heng and Bai Xiangxiu even more nervous. They genuinely thought that sothing was wrong.
“This lad... this mada’s pulse indicates that her pain is due to the accumulation of yin energy from the cold weather, which was why her nstrual period has co late. All she needs is so dicine to boost her blood flow and qi.”
Color imdiately returned to Long Heng’s face after he heard what the doctor had said.
“Unfortunately, there’s only dicine for wounds in the army camp. So, we will have to travel to Tranquil City to get her dicine.”
“I will go,” Yu Kuang interrupted from the outside. He could hear the doctor very clearly even though the doctor had kept his voice low. Long Heng frowned. This wasn’t sothing that he should let another man intervene with, but he didn’t have a choice. He had very important matters to deal with right now. The couple looked at each other in the eye, only to see the speechlessness in each other’s faces.
Yu Kuang imdiately left for Tranquil City after the doctor wrote down the prescription. It would take him quite so ti; they were a ways away from Tranquil City.
“Are... are you feeling better now?” Long Heng asked carefully while holding her hand as he sat beside her.
Bai Xiangxiu felt very aggrieved. She held up Long Heng’s hand and bit down hard. “I was so frightened. I thought... I thought...”
A gentle smile erged on Long Heng’s face, “You thought what?”
“I thought I was pregnant and lost the child when I fell. I was so frightened to death at that ti! I didn’t even dare move an inch!” I’m so relieved that I was only panicking over nothing. Bai Xiangxiu suddenly felt chills radiate from soone beside her. It was at this mont that she finally noticed the ugly look on Long Heng’s face.
“Your Highness?” What’s wrong with him?
Long Heng had suddenly grabbed her hands and held them tightly. It seed that he finally realized how precarious of a situation Bai Xiangxiu had been in just now. It was hard to say how things could’ve truly ended. If she’d been pregnant, then the fall she had taken just now would’ve... You best rember this. I, Long Heng, will surely took revenge for this!
“You’re thinking about taking revenge for ? Go ahead! Let tell you sothing. Commander Lu was actually the one who ca to rescue Su Yun.” This was basically a chance bestowed by the heavens. Wouldn’t it be such a waste if they were to do nothing with that knowledge?
“It was him?!” Long Heng bounded to his feet. The enemy’s commander-in-chief had shown up! Long Heng would be able to get twice the results with half the effort if he were to attack the enemy right now. A hint of happiness and excitent appeared in his eyes.
“Go on, I’m fine.”
“Alright. I will take revenge for you and our child.”
“What child? Don’t speak nonsense!” Bai Xiangxiu rolled her eyes at him. She had been doing this a lot lately to the hero who was admired by thousands. The hero wasn’t even slightly angered by it either. In fact, he even gave her a kiss to alleviate her anger and left the tent. n ant for big things were always like this. Even though Bai Xiangxiu wished that he’d stay around and accompany her at a ti like this, she was consoled by the fact that he’d dispatched a lot of soldiers to surround and guard her tent. He rallied the troops and left for battle in roughly seven minutes.
Long Heng was furious that they’d tried to harm Bai Xiangxiu. Their relationship was now much more than just skin deep. It was a sort of relationship that had seeped deep inside their hearts. He’d likely wouldn’t be able to control himself if anything happened to her. His anger influenced the soldiers as well. They all knew that Bai Xiangxiu was here to help with the war effort, but the general’s face was almost ashen when he’d co out of the tent. They figured that the enemy must’ve done sothing to the mada.
Long Heng had a habit of boosting his soldiers’ morale before a battle. He’d speak eloquently about how they were protecting the country and stopping the enemy from ever threatening their own nation. This ti however, his speech contained nothing but words of murder and pillage. There wasn’t even the slightest bit of rcy. Like a cold-blooded god of war, he commanded his n to form ranks. Soldiers were easily influenced by their commander’s mood. Moreover, the soldiers also respected the mada very much. So it ca to no surprise that they were thirsty for revenge as well. And so, the entire army began their march, empowered by their newly found rage.
Bai Xiangxiu was currently resting on her bed after she changed her sanitary pad. She had no idea that so people had the misconception that she was dead, and that they were marching angrily in hopes to avenge her. Even Bai Xiangxiu was stirred by their battlecry; it seed loud enough to rouse the heavens. Why am I being all excited for? I can’t even get up! This nstrual period of hers was incredibly ferocious.
Yu Kuang soon ca back with a variety of dicines. He handed over the dicine to Bai Xiangxiu and marveled as he watched her gulp it down. “Are you feeling better now?”
“Pfff!” Bai Xiangxiu almost spat out all the dicine in her mouth. She coughed a few tis as her cheeks flushed red. “Feeling... better?” She was still quite shy when it ca to that topic.
“Song Jiaoyue’s wounds have gotten better and he’s gone back to the capital.”
“I see, that’s good news. Life in Tranquil City does not suit him.”
“Yes. But it doesn’t suit you either.” Yu Kuang gently tucked her hair behind her ears. The gesture looked incredibly affectionate. However, he imdiately withdrew his hand when he realized what he’d done. He didn’t seem to understand why his heart felt so much pain.
“Is that so? But I’ve no choice.” A wife should follow her husband. All she wanted was for him to return ho safely and reunite with their son.
“I thought for a mont there that you’d lost a child.” Yu Kuang couldn’t be blad for harboring such thoughts because Bai Xiangxiu had thought the sa as well. Her actions had caused Yu Kuang to greatly misunderstand things. It was such a series of unfortunate events.
