However, that night, something unexpected happened.
Ye Wuji was sleeping on the bed when he suddenly felt a cramp in his abdomen. The pain came very suddenly and spread quickly throughout his body. Ye Wuji hugged the quilt and curled up into a ball. He was in so much pain that he couldn't even speak. Before the pain had passed, cold followed one after another, just like being stripped naked and thrown into the icy lake on the top of the mountain in the dead of winter.
Ye Wuji held on for half an hour, but the pain continued and kept getting worse. She finally couldn't bear it any longer, and her vision went dark and she fainted.
Early the next morning, when it was time for breakfast, Ye Wuji still hadn't come out. Zhan Qingfeng went to knock on the door but no one answered. Worried in his heart, he pried open the door latch and went in. He saw Ye Wuji lying on the bed with a pale face, and there were large areas of dried blood under her body.
Zhan Qingfeng was shocked, picked up Ye Wuji and ran to the medical center in the city.
As soon as the old doctor of the medical center opened the door, he saw a young man rushing in, holding a girl in men's clothing. The girl looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, and her white pants had been stained dark red with blood.
"Doctor, please show her quickly!" The young man was obviously very nervous about the girl.
Today's young people really don't know how to take care of their bodies. The old doctor shook his head. This was the fifth miscarriage patient he had seen this month.
"Put her over there." The old doctor pointed to the small bed inside.
As soon as the old doctor took a pulse, he immediately realized that his previous guess was wrong.
"Doctor, how are you?" Zhan Qingfeng stood aside and stared intently, and asked immediately when he saw the doctor retracting his hand.
"Loss of Qi and blood." The old doctor twirled his beard and said, "In all my years of practicing medicine, this is the first time I have seen the effect of menstruation on a murder case."
"Doctor, what did you just say...?" Zhan Qingfeng suspected that he was hearing hallucinations.
"Young man is deaf at a young age. Let me check your pulse. Could it be kidney deficiency?"
"You just said...menstruation?" Zhan Qingfeng felt a little embarrassed when he said those two words.
The old doctor nodded and said, "Yes, it's menstruation. You should know what it is, right?"
"I know. But... but... but he, isn't he a man?!"
"Young man, you are not only deaf, but your eyes are also not very good. You look like a girl. She is either wearing men's clothes or a man, you know!"
Zhan Qingfeng suddenly felt that he was dreaming. Until the old doctor prescribed Ye Wuji medicine, he was still in a daze. How could Wuji be a girl? Wuji is actually a girl! Thinking of the countless physical contacts between him and Ye Wuji in the past month, and Ye Wuji's frown and smile, Zhan Qingfeng felt that something was wrong with his whole person.
"Young man, how long are you going to stay here? This little girl is your wife, right? Why don't you take her home quickly and change her into clean clothes? What is she doing here like a pillar?"
Zhan Qingfeng was pushed several times by the old doctor before he came to his senses. He took the medicine package and paid the silver. But when he picked up Ye Wuji, he felt as if he was holding a live coal in his arms.
Ye Wuji is a woman! Men and women are not allowed to kiss each other! But they had hugged each other, held hands, and even slept in the same bed (sleeping in the carriage on the way), so it seemed strange to be shy at this time. But at that time, he didn't know that Ye Wuji was a woman! Zhan Qingfeng had always taken care of Ye Wuji as his younger brother, but when Ye Wuji suddenly changed from a man to a woman, everything changed. There was a strange feeling fermenting in Zhan Qingfeng's heart.
Zhan Qingfeng returned to the inn and asked the innkeeper's wife to clean Ye Wuji's body and put on clean clothes while he cooked medicine in the courtyard.
