Chapter 310: Chapter 307: Obedient
In the midst of indecision—
The old doctor urged, “Hey, what are you standing around for? Go and prepare the dicine!”
Qi Wuya, of course, wouldn’t personally prepare the dicine.
He glanced at Xing Ce beside him.
Xing Ce imdiately took the dicine pack and strode out.
As he passed by the Han siblings, he didn’t forget to bow his head and pay his respects, “Pri Minister Han, Commander Han—”
After the Beiqi Pri Minister Xue Wen Zhan was executed, Han Mo was promoted to Pri Minister.
Han Chen took over the position of Commander Zhang Tai of the Imperial Army and beca the new Commander of the Imperial Army.
As Qi Wuya’s confidants, the two brothers, one in the civil and the other in the military, supported the political situation in Beiqi.
Now the political situation in Beiqi was stable, and the people were wholeheartedly aligned.
The only elent of danger was Sang Yan.
Han Mo wanted to remove her.
He followed Xing Ce to the inn’s kitchen, and while he was preparing the dicine, he took the dicine pack, opened it, examined the herbs, and removed two that were for preserving the fetus.
Xing Ce frowned as he saw, “Pri Minister Han, is this, is this the master’s wish?”
He clearly heard the master promise Miss Sang that the child would be spared, right?
Was he deceiving Miss Sang?
Han Mo didn’t speak.
He acted on his own initiative and was forced into a corner.
The child couldn’t be spared.
Nor could Sang Yan.
Otherwise, Beiqi would be ruined by her hands.
Xing Ce didn’t know his thoughts; seeing his silence, he took it as consent.
Indeed, those in high positions were heartless.
But whether they had feelings or not had little to do with him.
As a dead soldier, it was better just to focus on his own duties.
Thus, he pretended not to see and continued preparing the dicine.
The process of preparing dicine was very lengthy.
While Sang Yan waited, her stomach growled with hunger.
Qi Wuya heard it and sent Han Chen to arrange for so food.
Sang Yan knew that drinking herbal dicine before a al was effective, so she said, “There’s no rush. I want to drink the dicine first, then eat.”
No sooner had she spoken when her stomach uncooperatively growled twice.
Qi Wuya raised his eyebrows and smiled, “The dicine needs two hours to prepare. Are you sure you want to wait?”
He felt that eating first wouldn’t affect taking the dicine.
Yet Sang Yan nodded earnestly, “Let’s wait.”
Qi Wuya: “…”
He knew she was doing it for the child’s sake, willing to endure hunger, and imdiately his smile stiffened.
It felt sour.
And jealous.
So it would be better to terminate the pregnancy.
Otherwise, he would have to endure such ntal tornt at every mont.
“Sang Yan, if I’m not mistaken, you just said you would listen to .”
He felt uncomfortable inside and didn’t want her to feel comfortable either.
He was determined to have her eat first.
Even though, in truth, he also wanted that little bastard starved!
Sang Yan, seeing his coercion, furrowed her brows, opened her mouth to say sothing, then closed it again.
Forget it.
It was a trivial matter, not worth arguing over with him.
So, Han Chen took the order and departed.
Seeing this, Sang Yan made a request, “Sothing light. Just so rice porridge will be good. Thank you.”
She felt as though she had slept for several days, and also hadn’t eaten for several days, worried that if she ate sothing greasy, her body would not be able to take it.
Especially since the fetus was not yet stable.
She could not withstand the effects of diarrhea.
Han Chen unaware of the inner detail, just looked at Qi Wuya, seeking his opinion.
Qi Wuya was looking at Sang Yan’s abdon, where many needles were densely packed.
He had never seen this thod of preserving a fetus.
It seed that this old doctor had so skills.
The sowhat skilled old doctor was packing up his dical box.
He placed several packets of fetus-preserving dicine on the table and took out a small white porcelain bottle with a slender neck, then pulled out the red wooden stopper and poured several black pills into his palm.
A faint fragrance emanated from the black pills.
He carefully counted three, paused for a mont, then poured out one more, a pained expression crossing his face.
Like a miser reluctantly parting with his treasure.
He put the four black pills into an empty white porcelain bottle and handed it to Sang Yan with reluctance, sighing, “Miss, it’s only because we are fated that I am willing to part with these. I wouldn’t normally give these to just anyone. These are excellent for nourishing the body.”
“Thank you, old sir. I, I—”
She knew that verbal thanks were insufficient, but upon checking, she truly had no money on her.
Oh, wait, there was the pair of golden phoenix bracelets on her wrist.
These were the jewels she wore on her wedding day.
She imdiately took them off and handed them over, “Thank you for saving my life, old sir. Please accept these. My na is Sang Yan, I am from Da He—”
Before she could finish, a large hand covered her mouth.
Qi Wuya did not want anyone to know Sang Yan’s real identity; otherwise, it would cause him great difficulty in marrying her.
After all, “those who are not of our kin are sure to have a different heart.”
The people of Beiqi would not want a woman from Da He as their queen.
Especially since she was the Empress Da He, carrying the Emperor Da He’s child.
“Sang Yan, you talk too much. Be quiet.”
He stared at her, his gaze carrying a warning.
Sang Yan understood his hint, nodded slightly, and adopted a ek and obedient manner.
Qi Wuya, satisfied with what he saw, curled his lips and slowly withdrew his hand.
He said to the old doctor, “Your thod of acupuncture is quite interesting.”
He was not rely changing the subject, but was genuinely interested in this acupuncture technique.
For so reason, as he watched the acupuncture, he thought of a person—He Hongzhao.
Her dical skills were mysterious, and she was a master manipulator of needles.
As he mused—
“This is the He Family acupuncture technique.”
The old doctor’s words were startling.
Qi Wuya was indeed shocked: He Hongzhao was certainly in Beiqi, but ever since her arrival, her frail body had never left Taian Palace. How could her acupuncture technique be in the hands of the common folk? To his knowledge, she had not taken on any disciples.
“Is that so? Does the old sir have the surna He?”
He scrutinized the old doctor with keen interest.
The old doctor shook his head, “No. My surna is Wu.”
Qi Wuya nodded and smiled, “So, you are Doctor Wu. Then, where did Doctor Wu learn the He Family acupuncture technique?”
Wu Youzhi did not keep secrets, and honestly said, “So ti ago, He Country’s Jizhou was widely recruiting dical officers and even established a dical mutual aid organization. I went there and learned this He Family acupuncture technique.”
It was because he had learned the He Family acupuncture technique, the dical skill of the Dahe people, that he felt a connection with Sang Yan and even offered her four Health Pills.
These Health Pills were the culmination of a month’s work by all mbers of the dical mutual aid group.
Many of the herbs were rare.
Each pill was worth its weight in gold.
A fortuitous encounter, not sothing one could seek.
Hearing this, Sang Yan had an idea of who he had learned from.
The He Family dical Book eventually ended up in the hands of Imperial Physician Liu.
Imperial Physician Liu originally treated strange illnesses in Quanzhou. Later, when they left, He Ying had him stay to oversee Quanzhou and develop dicine.
Now it seed, in addition to developing dicine, he had co to Jizhou.
Jizhou was at the border.
Rong Ye’s army was stationed there.
He also rembered He Ying sending him a ssage, asking him to recruit dical officers widely in Jizhou and develop dicine.
Clearly, the two had t.
“It truly is fate.”
Sang Yan figured out the connection and felt sowhat better—through twists and turns, cause and effect, she might have the possibility of eting Imperial Physician Liu again.
So, how could she create a chance for a reunion?
She looked at Doctor Wu with desperate yet hopeful eyes—did he seem familiar with Jizhou? Could he pass on a ssage for her?
“Stop dreaming.”
Qi Wuya seed to guess what she was thinking and scoffed bluntly, “If you don’t want to kill your lifesaver, stay far away from him.”
