Chapter 1113: How was the news delivered? (1/2)

After the stone door shut, Han Yunxi immediately turned to look at Fourth Young Miss Ren, who’d collapsed against the wall, her legs now jelly.

Too scary. I’ve gone through multiple instances of life and death, but none of those were as dangerous as this!

Han Yunxi smiled and thought back to her early days at her own medical academy. The first time she saved a poison victim, she’d reacted the same way. A doctor’s steadiness and calm were trained through multiple instances of life and death. Medical women, especially those with learning and experience, wouldn’t be lacking in any aspect.

Ning Jing hastened to help Fourth Young Miss Ren up and muttered, “Good job, don’t be afraid!”

With someone to hold onto, Fourth Young Miss Ren relaxed slightly and quickly walked towards Han Yunxi. “Princess, His Highness Crown Prince, Academy Head Beiyue, and the rest are searching all over for you!”

Fourth Young Miss Ren almost blabbed out the fact that Academy Head Beiyue already knew about her pregnancy, but stopped just in time. She wasn’t sure why the academy head was hiding such a fact, but she knew that if His Highness Crown Prince ever found out, Academy Head Beiyue would be in big trouble.

“Is Long Feiye doing well?” Han Yunxi asked urgently.

“I heard that His Highness Crown Prince has been in the army during this time and going on solo killing sprees against the enemies. The East Qin army only used three months’ time to subdue the traitors in the south and central regions, then force Western Zhou’s forces to retreat. Besides inner Northern Li, there’s peace all over the kingdom,” Fourth Young Miss Ren replied.

Han Yunxi was asking after Long Feiye, but Fouth Young Miss Ren had told her about the world’s affairs instead. However, wasn’t Long Feiye the world? If he wasn’t doing well, would the world be any better? A helpless smile rose to her face as she realized she must have turned stupid after being locked up for so long. How could Fourth Young Miss Ren know any particulars about Long Feiye’s state? She was asking in vain.

“Three months again, Medical City received many shadow guards and poison guards along with a bunch of high level experts from Celestial Mountain. They’re still hidden in the Poison Sect, probably to look for you,” Fourth Young Miss Ren added.

“Fourth Young Miss Ren, many thanks to you just then,” Han Yunxi said, happy to change the subject. Rather than asking others for information, it was better to find out herself. She dearly wished to see Long Feiye once and know what he was doing right now. She wanted to take his hand and entwine their fingers together, then lean against his shoulder to have a chat. There were people you just couldn’t think about without wanting to cry. They were people you had to keep by your side to feel at ease. Han Yunxi didn’t want to cry while she was pregnant; besides, she didn’t like crying anyways.

“Princess, I already sent word out just then. Don’t worry, Academy Head Beiyue will receive news very soon, and they’ll come searching Medical City quickly!” Fourth Young Miss Ren said in hushed tones.

Han Yunxi and Ning Jing were both astonished. Han Yunxi knew that once the prescription reached a pharmacy, it would be redirected to the obstetrics department to undergo review by a physician. Cloud Realm Continent’s various obstetrics doctors were all under Fourth Young Miss Ren’s command, but Medical City only had two obstetric departments: one within the medical academy and one in its auxiliary maternity ward. Not just anyone could saunter into the Medical Academy as they pleased, so the prescription would be sent to the maternity ward instead. All of the people there were Fourth Young Miss Ren’s workers!

But Han Yunxi still didn’t understand. What did Fourth Young Miss Ren write to pass by Bai Yanqing’s eyes and spread the intel at the same time?

“What did you write in that prescription?” Han Yunxi asked with surprise.

Fourth Young Miss Ren had Ning Jing and the others draw close before telling them in a low voice. Both Han Yunxi and Ning Jing were impressed as hope filled their hearts. As long as the prescription reached the pharmacy safely, at least Gu Beiyue would be able to tell they were definitely within Medical City bounds. Once they had an area to start with, it’d be much easier to track them down. Moreover, if they recognized the first prescription, that would alert them to any others after it.

Han Yunxi wasn’t sure whether they’d get another chance to talk in private after this, so she quickly told Fourth Young Miss Ren their exact location. Bai Yanqing would never let Su Xiaoyu write another prescription again, so this task would have to fall upon Fourth Young Miss Ren’s shoulders. After seizing the chance to clarify all the details, Han Yunxi still had Fourth Young Miss Ren do a thorough examination on her body to make sure the little fellow in her womb was alright. Fourth Young Miss Ren grew so tense her fingers began to shake.

“It’s fine, don’t worry. Bai Yanqing won’t come in,” Han Yunxi comforted her in low tones.

“Princess...this…” Fourth Young Miss Ren smiled wryly, feeling helpless. “This is His Highness Crown Prince’s child, a baby with the twin bloodlines of East and West Qin! I...I’m not afraid, I’m just nervous.”

Hearing this, Han Yunxi and Ning Jing both fell silent. This child had a very noble status, so Fourth Young Miss Ren was anxious, but to them the “twin bloodlines of East and West Qin” held too much bitterness and pain that couldn’t be described in words. They couldn’t explain it clearly, nor could they speak of the helplessness they’d each experienced.

Han Yunxi gently caressed her stomach and couldn’t help asking, “I don’t know whether it’s a boy or girl.”

“Princess, have Academy Head Beiyue take your pulse when we return. Perhaps he’ll know,” Fourth Young Miss Ren said hastily.

“How could he know?” Han Yunxi asked helplessly.

“There’s a saying in the obstetrics department that reading the pulse can determine the gender of the baby. However, I’ve never seen such a method even after all these years. But Academy Head Beiyue’s medical skills are so superb that he might be able to pull it off!” Fourth Young Miss Ren grinned.

“Then find him in secret, make sure no one else knows,” Han Yunxi smiled back.
