The Emperor cried...
Your Majesty, is crying!
Eleven was startled.
A burly man stood by, at a loss as to what to do.
It was not until the leader of the secret guards and Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba called him down that he realized this was not something he should see.
After everyone left, Changle hurriedly handed the handkerchief to the person and said, "Mr. Huang, please persuade His Majesty. I think it's just a cough. It's caused by catching a cold in the wind. Anyone can have it. It will be fine after two or three days of rest. His Majesty doesn't listen... Oh. You are an authority in this regard. Please tell His Majesty so that His Majesty can be relieved."
The young man wiped his eyes with a handkerchief and remained silent.
Huang Taiyi was helpless, pinching his arm and checking his pulse: "How old are you, and you're still crying? Look at how scared you were by the secret guards just now. We are the emperor after all, why are you crying and calling me grandpa? Besides, it's just a cough, why are you worried about it? There are many reasons for coughing, not to mention catching a cold, getting cold, or getting hot, even if you choke on too much of those Atractylodes lancea and mugwort, you will still cough. Do you believe that if you worry for a while longer, your condition is much more serious than hers?"
Changle also hurried to comfort him: "Look, you didn't listen to what the servants said. Now that Mr. Huang has said it, you can finally put your mind at ease, right? As for Eleven, it's not that I underestimate him. He is powerful, but he doesn't look very smart. Maybe our queen was really fumigated by the Atractylodes lancea, which fumigated her throat and eyes, causing her to cough and have an itchy nose! Your health is so important now, let's ask Xiaoba or Xiaoqi to take a closer look?"
"Haha, it's not that exaggerated. Eleven is not stupid. I'm just saying this. It's really not as complicated as we think. We can ask Xiaoqi and Xiaoba to investigate. You are the emperor, and you have to be calm in everything. How come you are so calm in big things, but so confused when it comes to Bai Yatou?"
It can be heard that both of them are trying hard to comfort each other.
The boy's mood did not improve. Instead, he sniffed sadly and his tears kept falling.
"It's not that I don't believe it... In our tribe, the Alphas are all very strong and have better recovery abilities than ordinary people. Bai Su is an Alpha, so she won't get minor illnesses like colds or fevers. If an Alpha coughs, it must be a more serious illness... I'm not worrying for no reason."
Doctor Huang was also stunned when he heard this.
Then he stroked his chin and muttered to himself: "Is there such a thing?"
There is some thought in the silence, and some curiosity in the thought.
Rather than worrying, he seemed to be exploring a little more. If I was not mistaken, there seemed to be a little gleam in this person's eyes
Duan Changchuan: "... Don't always think about using her for research!"
The old man immediately put on a flattering smile: "That's impossible. You said that this Ah E Fa is usually very strong and won't have any minor illnesses? Then what if this Ah E Fa is weak? For example, she had a serious illness, or she lost a lot of blood? Let me make it clear first, I'm not doing research, I'm doing a specific analysis to see what Bai Yatou's situation is."
Duan Changchuan was also stunned when the old man reminded him of this.
This was something he had not expected.
"If the Alpha is already very weak due to a serious illness or blood loss, then... he should still be infected with some minor diseases. But Bai Su cut her wrist, didn't it happen a long time ago?"
It has been more than four months from the end of January to now June. Has your body not recovered in such a long time
Moreover, there was one thing he didn't say: Bai Su and he both came from the same world, so no matter how bad the original owner's health was, it had nothing to do with Bai Su.
But Doctor Huang glared at him and started to tell him the truth: "I have seen the scar on Bai's wrist. Yun Xiaowazi said that she cut her wrist twice and it was only with medicine that she survived. Can she recover in four months? If the root is injured, it will take four years, not to mention four months. Besides, she didn't lose a lot of blood. She cut her wrist twice within a month. She must be very weak."
However, no matter how hard the old man tried to persuade him, Duan Changchuan just kept his head down and said nothing.
In the end, Changle and Doctor Huang were so speechless that they just stared at each other in bewilderment.
"Your Majesty, what are you thinking about? Why don't you tell us? Don't keep it to yourself. It will be terrible if you get sick."
Changle asked carefully.
The young man then raised his eyes, sighed deeply, and said, "Changle, go outside and tell Xiaoyi and Yiman to guard the place. No one is allowed to get close."
"Ah? Oh well, I'll go and give the order right away."
After Changle left, Duan Changchuan remained silent. He waited until the young eunuch came back with all the instructions before he slowly spoke.
He did not start with Bai Su, but asked the two of them a few questions first: "Do you all know what I did during the time I lost my memory? How did the bag of □□ disappear? Do you all know?"
The old man and Changle looked at each other secretly, and no one dared to respond.
The young man didn't care and continued to talk to himself: "Actually, I already know. I took it myself, didn't I?"
As he spoke, he slowly looked at the eunuch who was standing at one side with his head bowed. "Changle, that day you said you were worried and wanted to look for it again. You were afraid that you couldn't find □□ and it would be a problem in the future. But that day you suddenly rushed over from the front hall... You said that you couldn't lose me, and since then you never mentioned that bag of □□ again. I guessed that you had found some evidence or seen some facts, which told you that □□ was convinced by me."
Then he looked at the old man beside him: "Grandpa Huang, do you remember that I once asked you if there was a way to restore my memory, but Changle stopped me at that time, so the matter was evaded. I knew what Changle was worried about, so I didn't mention it again. After that day, I mentioned that I wanted to restore my memory again, but you dissuaded me. I guess... Changle should have told you about this, right?"
This one sentence exposed the secret that the two had been trying to hide for days.
Doctor Huang coughed softly, scratched his head and explained, "Well... Actually, I'm not kidding you. You lost your memory, it's probably because there's something wrong with your brain, but I've checked your pulse every day and can't see anything, so I guess it's not a serious problem. You're pregnant now, and many medicines don't work, so I thought I'd wait until the baby is born. The main reason is... well, anyway, you know it yourself, you took it yourself, there must be something in your heart that makes you no longer worried. I also selfishly think that after the baby is born, you will have something to worry about, even if those memories come back, you won't have those thoughts anymore."
Changle knelt down with a plop, wiping tears from his clothes, "Your Majesty, please forgive me... I shouldn't have kept it from you, but I was afraid... I was afraid that you would remember what happened before, and then get stuck in a dead end again, what should I do... I have kept one thing from you. Yiman was staring at me closely a few days ago, so I asked him and found out that Your Majesty saw that I was absent-minded for days, so he asked Yiman to come and care about me. I told Yiman about it, and asked him to keep it a secret from you as well... I am guilty, I deceived my superiors and subordinates, I deserve to die!"
As he said this, he slapped his own mouth again.
Duan Changchuan quickly stopped the man and said, "I know everything you did, and I didn't say anything to you. Besides, you did it for my own good... I naturally won't blame you."
Then, he swept his eyes over the faces of the two people and said in a gentle voice: "I am not telling you all this today because I want to blame you. You don't need to explain too much. I know everything you need to know. In fact, what I want to talk about is Bai Su. You already know that our group is different from ordinary people. I am an Omega and can get pregnant and have children. Bai Su is an Alpha with a strong body and can make people pregnant. But there is one thing I haven't told you... It is what I just told you. I have taken arsenic, which is a highly toxic substance, but except for the loss of memory, there is no physical damage. Isn't this a bit unreasonable?"
Changle immediately said: "Of course it's because your majesty is a real dragon, immune to all poisons!"
It is said as a matter of course and with confidence.
Duan Changchuan: …
I almost forgot that this was an era full of feudal dregs.
Fortunately, Mr. Huang had studied medicine for many years and was quite rational. He slapped the young eunuch on the head and said, "What are you thinking? Your Majesty has a body of a dragon that is immune to all poisons, so how come the late emperor died of illness? The late emperor was not a real dragon."
Changle quickly covered his head and was about to kneel down again: "I didn't mean that... I am terrified!"
Duan Changchuan was helpless: "Please stop teasing him..."
The old man quickly shut his mouth and made a gesture of invitation to him.
"Before entering the palace, Bai Su cut her wrists twice, and both times she cut both wrists. Normally, she couldn't be saved, but she survived and was very healthy later. I once took arsenic, which normaly couldn't save me either. No one saved me at that time, but I am still alive and well today... Bai Su and I have discussed this matter before, and maybe... this is a trigger point for our people to awaken. When in a dying state, the characteristics of the people of the tribe are revealed, and all parts of the body change. In the process of this change, I saved my life. So although Bai Su lost a lot of blood before, it didn't have much impact on her current body. Just like that bag of arsenic also caused great damage to my body, but now it's not visible, it's the same."
The entire paragraph from beginning to end was improvised by Duan Changchuan.
I can’t tell these people, “Bai Su and I both traveled from another world.”
In the eyes of these people, isn't it just that their emperor has been replaced? Duan Changchuan was afraid that they couldn't accept it.
Fortunately, this story has a beginning and an end, and the logic is quite self-consistent. Doctor Huang and Changle did not suspect anything.
After all, they all accepted that the woman had made the man pregnant. It was just a "resurrection from the dead", not a big deal.
"So... Senior, do you understand what I mean?"
The boy asked tentatively.
The old man smacked his lips and let out a long sigh: "I know exactly what you mean. I've checked Bai's pulse before, and she's in very good health, not like someone who cut her wrists twice... Well, now I can't hide it anymore, so I might as well tell you. Bai's body is indeed seriously deficient, and it's indeed caused by lack of blood, but it's not because of the wrist cutting a few months ago."
"What?"
Duan Changchuan asked back subconsciously, and his heart skipped a beat for no reason.
"She said that your tribe, Omega, can't leave Alpha during pregnancy. She knelt in front of me for a long time and insisted that I take her blood before leaving, and then put it in your medicine. I couldn't persuade her, so I had to take three bowls of blood. I divided it into thirty times and put it in your medicine. It was indeed as she said, and the blood comforted you a lot. I think that between you and your husband, each of you must know what has been paid. After she took the blood, she had to travel to Huainan for several days. She was afraid that you would worry, so she didn't dare to tell you, but I... I really felt sorry for her. A woman, no matter if she is Alpha or something else, is always a girl. To be tossed like this... Hey, this past month, whenever I think of this, I... I feel wronged and uncomfortable for her."
Duan Changchuan was completely stunned this time.
No wonder…
No wonder there was a scent of peony in the medicine every night, and no wonder... every time he drank it, the baby in his belly suddenly became well-behaved.
It turned out that it was all the blood that Bai Su left for him.
"When did she... take the blood?"
"A few days before you left, I took care of her in the palace for a few days. Anyway, I remember there was still some time before you left."
A few days ago…
An idea suddenly flashed through Duan Changchuan's mind, and he asked in a trembling voice: "But what about the day when it suddenly rained heavily?"
That day, the Queen Mother sent someone to invite him over, so he went to the Queen Mother's warm room, leaving Bai Su and Chang Le in the Mingsheng Temple to pack up.
That was the only time he and Bai Su were not together.
As if to confirm his words, the old man slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, that was the day it rained! An evil wind suddenly blew that day. I remember it clearly. When I took her blood, it started to rain heavily outside. I even asked Nangong Jin'er to support her... Yes, that was the day. It never rained that heavily since then."
That was the day...
What happened that day
Bai Su looked a little cold that day, and he thought she was angry, so he stood at the door and pulled her aside to talk things out.
It just so happened that he just remembered that their marriage in modern times was a "business marriage", so he pushed her away harshly.
Yes, after Bai Su had taken three bowls of blood for him and accompanied him through half of the palace, when she was so exhausted that she could hardly speak... he was being willful.
He was capricious in his temper, capricious in his hysterics, and even called her a liar.
But even so, his sister did not show any abnormality. Instead, she kissed him in the rain and coaxed him gently.
Said: "Which Alpha would not like the omega boy of the Duan family?"
