The baby-making system is unreliable

The reason why Xiao Zixin was chosen is simple, just because she happened to be born in the Yin year, Yin hour and Yin month.

This fact made Lu Qingyan feel extremely confused and conflicted, and she locked herself up.

On the one hand, he was well aware of the danger and cruelty of the poisonous insects; on the other hand, there seemed to be no other way if he wanted to save his own life or even the lives of more people.

Faced with such a difficult choice, he fell into deep pain...

The plague has lasted for a long time, but it has not been resolved, which has gradually worn out the patience of the people.

The whole city was filled with an atmosphere of despair and pain, people were crying and howling one after another, and the scene was truly horrific.

The cries became more frequent. At first, some people still had the strength to shout, but their faces were covered with tears as they cried out, "Why hasn't anyone come to save us after so long? Are they just going to watch us suffer?"

Others cried out even more miserably: "Save me! It hurts so much! When will this torture end?!"

“It felt like there were millions of ants crawling and biting my body. There were so many bugs!!!”

"Help, it hurts! It really hurts!!!"

Their voices were filled with despair and helplessness, as if they had been pushed to the brink of collapse by the pain.

It felt like tens of thousands of ants were crawling on their bodies and gnawing at their flesh, which was creepy.

"Save my child, save my child! Oh my God!? What on earth have we done wrong? God is punishing us like this!!"

These voices interweave together like a sad song, telling the endless suffering of the people. They long to be saved and hope to get rid of this terrible disaster as soon as possible.

However, faced with such a serious plague, no one seems to be able to give a definite answer.

Xiao Zixin has been here for almost a month and can hear their voices every day. The torment and pain hurt her heart.

In the end, it was Mu Bai who found Xiao Zixin and decided to tell her the truth.

"Actually... things are not as simple as you think." Mu Bai's voice was a little low, and his eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and pain.

Then, every word he said was like a heavy hammer hitting Xiao Zixin's heart.

Xiao Zixin's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

When she heard the whole story, she was completely stunned and kept muttering to herself: "So, so that's how it is!!! So that's it!" It was as if she understood everything in an instant.

She finally understood why Mu Bai had always been so entangled and conflicted; she also understood the unspeakable pain deep in his heart.

It turns out that there is a reason for all this! But I have been kept in the dark and know nothing...

Thinking of this, Xiao Zixin couldn't help but feel a complex surge of emotions in her heart - anger, sadness, and more importantly, deep self-blame and guilt.

By the Mirror Water Lake, he refused to see her many times, just to avoid meeting her, afraid of seeing her infatuated with him, and also afraid of himself sinking;

When Bei Sheng asked for marriage, he sent a message to her, just to avoid the marriage, because he was afraid of seeing her marrying far away, and also afraid of never seeing her again;

The city was infested with poisonous insects, and he went into the city alone, just to quell the plague first. He was afraid of seeing her sacrifice herself to cure the poison, and also afraid of the separation of life and death.

It turns out, it turns out... he actually did so much by himself?! It turns out that he was already covered in blood and wounds, and even had a broken head and blood spitting out blood.

Xiao Zixin was extremely anxious and rushed into the city to look for him without hesitation. When she found him, he was unconscious, suffering from the backlash and in critical condition.

Looking at this scene, Xiao Zixin felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife and tears could not stop flowing.

"You... why are you so stupid?!" Her voice trembled with uncontrollable grief and heartache.

He was clearly the most powerful sorcerer in the entire Nanxiao, his wisdom and magic were unmatched, he was clearly gifted and had every intention of making mistakes, yet he had turned himself into this state.

However, at this moment, he was covered with scars and looked haggard, as if he had lost all vitality.

The originally clear and bright eyes became dim, revealing deep fatigue and despair. Who could have thought that such a peerless genius would fall to such a state?

Looking at his weak body, she felt helpless. Tears blurred her eyes, and drops fell, wetting his clothes.

"You...still know it. I'm sorry. This time, I still can't think of a way to help you."

Lu Qingyan murmured as he climbed up from the bed. When he saw her, the light in his eyes brightened a little, but it was only a flash for a moment.

"Fool, you fool. I'm angry, really angry, for not telling me anything and hiding from me before."

Xiao Zixin's crystal clear tears slid down her pink cheeks, like hot pearls dripping on the cold ground.

"I..." Lu Qingyan opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but was interrupted.

"Shut up! I haven't finished yet! Humph!" Xiao Zixin said arrogantly, with a hint of anger and unwillingness. She frowned slightly, with a hint of resentment in her eyes.

Lu Qingyan sighed helplessly, muttering to himself: How could this person be so overbearing? However, he also knew that he was in the wrong, after all, he had been deliberately avoiding the other party all along.

"If you hadn't always been avoiding me, we could have met earlier. Then, we would have had more beautiful memories between us." Xiao Zixin continued, her tone full of regret.

Lu Qingyan listened silently, and couldn't help but feel guilty. He knew that he had indeed missed many opportunities to spend time with Xiao Zixin.

These tears seemed to carry endless sorrow and pain. They were so hot that the air around them seemed to be heated, making people feel a deep sadness.

"We must hold on, we must solve the problem and live well together. We can't give up so easily." She said softly, her tone firm and persistent.

Xiao Zixin chose to use her own blood to remove the poison without hesitation. For a whole half month, Xiao Zixin endured the severe pain and let the poison suck her blood.

Day after day, it was eroded by the Gu mother. As its blood was lost, the Gu mother gradually lost its vitality and eventually died.

Half a month, just half a month, her body became extremely weak and she was emaciated.

Throughout the day, the person lying down slowly turned into Xiao Zixin. She used to be a playful person, but now she can't play anymore.

Fortunately, she still has the bell given by her sister-in-law. She can hang it in front of the window when she has nothing to do, watching the breeze blow by and the sound of the bell.

I don’t know if she could sense it, but Yun Xirou responded quietly.

Yun Xirou had also been curious, but Xiao Zixin kept sending her letters, so she just thought it was just a joke that he missed her.

The people of Black Sulfur City were finally saved, which is something to be happy about.

However, Xiao Zixin's condition was not optimistic. Her face was already as pale as paper and her body was extremely thin.

"You have to wait for me! I will definitely find a way to save you."

Lu Qingyan was heartbroken and vowed to do everything she could to cure her.

"Well... I, we will never give up. I... want to see my brother, I want to see... my sister-in-law."

Xiao Zixin's weak look made people feel sad and they couldn't bear to refuse her request.

"..."

Lu Qingyan was silent for a long time, but finally nodded and agreed to send her back first.

Long before she decided to raise the Gu in her body, Lu Qingyan opened her third eye at the cost of shortening her life by ten years.

Finally, we found out the information about the person who raised the poisonous insect.

Divination comes at a price, especially when it comes to people or things that are no longer alive. The price is particularly high.

Even after paying such a huge price, we still cannot know the whole story, only some fragments.

Until this moment, Lu Qingyan only knew that Bei Sheng had a Zhuhua grass that might be able to save her life.

Until now, Xiao Zixu and Lu Qingyan have tried their best to find out that Zhu Huacao is somewhere on Huasha Mountain south of Beisheng.

Before returning to Beijing, the night was as quiet as water and the sky was full of stars. Xiao Zixin said she wanted to look at the stars with him.

The two of them lay on a recliner in a small courtyard outside the city. Lu Qingyan covered him with a cloak and quietly felt the time before their separation.

Xiao Zixin smiled and said to him, "Qingyan, you go find medicine for me first, right?! It just so happens that I'm going back to Beijing, so it's on the way there, and we're all heading north."

She could see the reluctance in Lu Qingyan's eyes, and she knew he was reluctant to leave.

"So don't feel bad, just go ahead and I'll follow later."

Xiao Zixin whispered in his ear that they would definitely meet again.

By then, she would marry him in the capital with great fanfare, with a wedding so grand that her brother would feel heartbroken.

She also witnessed the birth of her nephews and nieces and put longevity locks on them.

"Then I'll go first. You must follow and wait for me in the capital." Lu Qingyan said earnestly, fearing that if they missed it, they would really miss it.

He really, really didn't want to let go of her hand.

The wind started to blow, and her hands were as cold as ice. Lu Qingyan hurriedly held them tightly, as if he wanted to transfer his warmth to her palms, and was unwilling to let go for a moment.

"Zi Xin...wait for me, wait for me, wait for me..."

Lu Qingyan repeated these three words over and over again, her body trembling slightly, with an unconcealable worry in her eyes, as if she was talking to her, or to herself.

"Well... I want to wait for you to watch the lake scenery in spring together, and enjoy the prosperity and bloom outside the capital together."

He always remembered Xiao Zixin's last smile, which was like engraved in his heart, becoming more and more deeply rooted in his bones.

……

At this moment in Beijing, the rain is falling gently, as densely as silver threads, weaving into a hazy rain curtain.

There was a cool breeze on the street. The late autumn wind was like a sharp sword, stinging people's skin and making people feel a little chilly in their hearts.

The dark clouds made it difficult for people to breathe, and for a moment they felt panic, inexplicably panicked.

"My dear husband, I...I want to go and see her, Zi Xin's condition..."

She was really worried. Really worried.

Yun Yurou was extremely anxious, and she wanted to go visit Xiao Zixin immediately. Now that she knew Xiao Zixin was in the princess's mansion in the capital, she naturally couldn't stay in the palace with peace of mind.

Despite her big belly, she insisted on going to Xiao Zixin's residence.

Yun Xirou insisted on going, and she seemed quite stubborn. She lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty, I beg your Majesty to allow me to go... I..."

This was the first time she called him that. Xiao Zixu stared at her blankly. After a long silence, he slowly spoke: "You don't want to accompany her, do you?!"

"I want to go and accompany her, she is my friend!" Yun Xirou said firmly.

Xiao Zixu was silent for a moment. He knew Yun Xirou's personality and knew that she would not speak easily. But once she spoke, it would be difficult to change her decision.

Unable to persuade her, Xiao Zixu could only go with her. There was no other way.

Xiao Zixu supported her and went with her and said, "Since you insist on going, I won't stop you, but you must pay attention to your safety and take care of yourself... I will send someone to protect you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yun Xirou said gratefully.

Xiao Zixu couldn't persuade her and had to allow her to live in the princess's mansion, but as the king of a country, he couldn't let her stay for long.

He just hoped that Lu Qingyan could return with Zhuhuacao as soon as possible. He felt uneasy in his heart, but he also thought that if he sent Nan Xiao's top secret guards, he would definitely return safely.

Half an hour later, they finally arrived at Xiao Zixin's boudoir, and Yun Xirou saw a heartbreaking scene.

Xiao Zixin lay on the bed, her face as pale as paper, and her once bright eyes had lost their luster.

Yun Xirou quickly walked to the bedside, held Xiao Zixin's hand, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

"Zi Xin, I'm here, I'm here to see you, you must hold on..." Yun Xirou called softly.

Xiao Zixin opened her eyes with difficulty, and when she saw Yun Yurou, a smile appeared on her face. She said with all her strength, "Brother and sister-in-law, don't worry... I will be fine."

It was fine when I went there, how did it become like this, how did it... become like this.

"..."

Alas! The imperial physician has tried his best, but he can only last ten days at most.

Tongzi, can you still save her, can you still save her? !

While asking Tongzi, she also made judgments based on her medical knowledge, but... it was of no use.

The things in this time and space have nothing to do with what she has learned. She is an obstetrician and gynecologist, and she is not good at witchcraft and traditional Chinese medicine! !

[Host, it's useless. This is her fate. It was destined at the beginning of time and space. You can't change it, and Lu Qingyan can't change it either.]

Why!? Then what's the point of me traveling through time and space?! Isn't it to change their fate!?

[Host, you can only change the fate of the hero, you can't change the fate of others. You can only accompany them through a journey, or they can accompany you through a story. ]

So, is she also the one who cannot change Xiao Zixin's fate? !

Yun Xirou closed her eyes and asked silently: How long will she take? !

[Ten days...]
