Yan Xuanye hesitated for a while. He knew how serious this child was to Su Qingci, so he didn't dare to make a decision easily.

Yan Xuanye: "Stop her bleeding first and try to reduce the damage to her body. I will discuss it with the princess after she wakes up."

After hearing this, the witch doctor did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately started to stop Su Qingci's bleeding.

With a serious look on his face, he quickly took out several herbs from the medicine box, weighed them and put them together, then ordered the maid to boil them quickly.

Then, the witch doctor asked everyone to lay Su Qingci's body flat. He skillfully inserted sterilized silver needles into several acupuncture points on the body, trying to stop the bleeding.

Beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down his forehead, but his eyes remained firm and focused, and his technique was extremely professional, with each needle going directly into the acupuncture points.

After the acupuncture, the boiled herbal medicine was brought up. Yan Xuanye carefully helped Su Qingci up, blew the bitter medicine to cool it down a little, and then fed it into her mouth bit by bit.

But Su Qingci was unconscious, and most of the medicine flowed out from the corners of his mouth. Yan Xuanye was extremely anxious and kept adjusting his posture, trying to swallow more of the medicine.

After a period of intense work, Su Qingci's bleeding condition finally eased. Although Yan Xuanye breathed a sigh of relief, his expression was still tense, and his eyes were fixed on Su Qingci who was sleeping on the couch.

After doing all this, he was extremely tired.

Yan Xuanye closed the door and let her have a good rest.

……

Yan Xuanye looked stern, with a strong sense of hostility. "What did you two say in the bedroom? Why did the princess suddenly bleed profusely?"

Xiao He knelt on the ground in fear, with her head down, not daring to look at his expression.

She had heard a little about Yan Xuanye's style. He was not an easy person to get along with. His temper was much worse than that of General Lu. He had a stern and ferocious face, as if he wanted to eat her alive.

"Princess...Princess asked me about General Lu, and I answered her one by one."

Yan Xuanye walked to a shelf and suddenly pulled out an extremely sharp sword. His movements were easy and casual, but the warning was so strong that Xiao He was frightened and trembled.

"So how did you answer? Tell me about it."

"I just answered truthfully and told Princess that General Lu is dead."

"What was the princess's expression at that time?"

Xiao He spoke carefully, "The princess is very sad..."

Just now when Su Qingci was bleeding heavily, a maid went to report it. Yan Xuanye came very quickly and was very careful and gentle when feeding her medicine, with worry that could not be hidden in his eyes.

Xiao He knew that this northern barbarian still cared a lot about her wife.

But she didn't dare to hide it. It was a fact that Su Qingci was sad and anyone could see her emotions.

If she lied and angered Yan Xuanye, and if he drove her out, Su Qingci would have no trustworthy maid around her.

Yan Xuanye sighed and threw the sword on the carpet. "Forget it. Since you have been a capable maidservant by your master's side since he was in the boudoir, you should serve him well."

"If you have other thoughts, don't blame me for being rude to you."

Xiao He kowtowed heavily and said, "I will definitely take good care of you."

……

Su Qingci lost a lot of blood this time and fainted for a long time. He only woke up slowly at dusk the next day.

Expensive gold-thread charcoal was burning in the bedroom, occasionally making crackling sounds. Su Qingci always had a cold body, but she never felt too cold when she was with Yan Xuanye.

She looked listless, her eyes fixed on Yan Xuanye who was dozing off beside her.

He did not go to bed. The maids brought him a chair, and he fell asleep leaning on the chair, covered with a fox fur blanket.

There was a slight blue color under Yan Xuanye's eyes. The place next to the bed was clean and tidy with no signs of having been moved. He must have taken care of her all night and did not go to bed to sleep.

There were small ripples and waves in the lake of his heart, but Su Qingci suppressed them.

Lu Huan’s life or death is unknown, so she doesn’t dare to fall in love with Yan Xuanye.

If she was moved or softened, it would be a betrayal to Lu Huan.

"You finally woke up."

There was a sense of fatigue in his words. "Do you want to sit up?"

Su Qingci propped himself up and sat up without asking him to help him. "You are tired too. Go and have a rest."

Yan Xuanye chuckled, "This is my bedroom, and you are my princess. How can you let me go somewhere else to rest? How can this be justified in the world?"

He could see the worry flashing across her eyes, but despite that, she still pushed him away and still wanted to drive him away.

Yan Xuanye couldn't stop feeling sad, but when he thought of Lord Wu Yan's instructions, he felt a headache again.

He sighed and said, "Lord Wu Yan said that your body... can only keep the baby alive for another month at most. The longer it takes, the more dangerous it will be for the mother..."

Su Qingci looked at him coldly, "What do you mean?"

Yan Xuanye: "What I mean is, of course, your body is the most important. If you like children, we can have another one in the future."

"Don't use that wizard's words to deceive me. There is no way I don't want him!"

Yan Xuanye said helplessly, "I didn't lie to you. Your maid Xiao He was there at the time and she heard it too. If you don't believe me, you can go ask her."

"Master Wu Yan said that if you don't abort the baby, you might be in danger."

Su Qingci shook his head stubbornly, muttering in disbelief, "You must be lying to me. How could I lose the child? Did you drug me while I was unconscious?"

Yan Xuanye looked incredulous, "...At this time, you still suspect me of harming you?"

"Before you started bleeding heavily, your former maid was beside you. You two said something that caused you to get angry and bleed heavily. You know it in your heart. Why do you blame me?"

"Su Qingci, can you please have a little conscience?"

"You didn't take the medicine to preserve your pregnancy, and you didn't eat properly? You cried all day long because of that dead man, you didn't want to eat or drink, you were too worried, and you blamed me for hurting the baby."

"What have I done wrong? At most, I just fell in love with a cruel woman."

Su Qingci was still crying. No matter what he said, Su Qingci refused to get rid of the baby in her belly.

Yan Xuanye hardened his heart and gave her an ultimatum, "One week. After a week, I will ask Master Wu Yan to prepare the least harmful abortion drug. You should drink it obediently. After the child is gone, take good care of it for a while. We can still have children in the future."

He held Su Qingci's shoulders and said, "Don't be afraid."

Su Qingci slapped his hand away and wiped away her tears.

She looked at him stubbornly, her eyes soon filled with tears again, but she refused to let them fall, "Yan Xuanye, are you happy?"

Yan Xuanye let go of the weapon as if he had lost strength, and he chuckled at himself.

Happy? He thought he should be happy.

One bowl of medicine will send that little bastard straight to heaven to accompany his thief father.

Give her more time to be sad and recuperate. When she is sad enough and has gradually forgotten about it, she can rest for a while and that should be enough.

But when he saw her lying on the couch with a pale face, murmuring the man's name, he knew that he couldn't do it.

He didn't know when it started, but he began to care more about her joys and sorrows than his own.
