Third-person POV A physician sprinted to Di Shang''s tent when he was told
that Meiyun suddenly collapsed. Meiyun regained consciousness not long after
she fainted, but her body temperature was so low that she was still shivering
even under a pile of blanket. The physician put a white silk over Meiyun''s wrist and
pressed his fingers on her wrist to feel her pulse. At first, he was frowning,
then, he checked a few times again to make sure the pulse that he was examining
was right. Di Shang narrowed his eyes as he became impatient. Di Shang: "Is there something wrong with my wife?" Meiyun: "Shang Tang, let the physician do its job." Di Shang: "Are you okay? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Are
you still cold?" Meiyun: "Hahaha~ You worrywart." Meiyun shook her head. Meiyun: "I''m fine now. Just a little bit cold, nothing
weird." Di Shang: "Do you want another blanket?" Meiyun: "No, it''s fine." Just as Meiyun finished speaking, the physician retracted
his hand with a big smile on his face. Di Shang took Meiyun''s cold hand and
warmed it up with his own hand. Physician: "Hhmm, Her Ladyship is pre-" Meiyun: "Physician, can I have a word with you?" Physician: "Of Course, Your Ladyship." Meiyun: "Shang Tang, could you please check Team One''s
result?" Di Shang: "We can check that later, what important right now
are you." Meiyun: "Please." Di Shang stared at Meiyun''s weak smile and reluctantly
walked out of their tent. Di Shang felt like Meiyun was very secretive and
distant towards everyone whenever they were going to talk about her. It just
like she was trying to hide something extremely important from everyone who is
close to her. Meiyun waited till Di Shang''s silhouette gone then she
turned her eyes to the physician. Meiyun: "Am I pregnant?" Meiyun asked with a straight tone. The physician was
stupefied by Meiyun''s cold reaction towards her own pregnancy. Usually, people
would jump up and down and announce the happy news to all family members. Physician: "Yes, Your Ladyship." A sad smile appeared on her lips as she placed her hand on
her abdomen. Meiyun: "En. Is there anything else?" The physician widened his eyes in shock, he didn''t expect
Meiyun to ask him that. Meiyun: "It''s fine, I know everything. I just want to know
if it will affect the baby." Physician: "I-it will, Your Ladyship." Meiyun sucked a mouthful of cold air as tears almost
trickled down from her eyes. Meiyun: "Physician Tu, please don''t tell anyone about my
pregnancy and my illness." Physician Tu: "Why?" Physician Tu looked at Meiyun with sad eyes. Meiyun: "If my husband knows that I am pregnant and sick at
the same time, he wouldn''t let me fight." Physician Tu: "It is normal for one''s husband to be protective
towards his pregnant wife." Meiyun: "Physician Tu, I trust you. Just tell them that I
have low blood pressure and fatigue." Physician Tu: "Y-yes, Your Ladyship. Then I will excuse
myself." Physician Tu grabbed his medicinal box and left the tent
with a pitiful sigh. Di Shang saw the physician walked out from his tent from
far away, he jogged towards Physician Tu and anxiously asked. Di Shang: "How is my wife?" Physician Tu: "Only low blood pressure and fatigue. Keep her
warm and refrain her from drinking alcohol." Di Shang: "Thank you, Physician Tu." Physician Tu: "My pleasure, My Lord." Physician Tu watched Di Shang ran to his tent anxiously
caused Physician Tu''s heart to ache. He sighed for the tenth time as he looked to
the sky. Physician Tu: ''What a pitiful couple.'' *in the tent Meiyun: "How many times do I have to tell you that I''m
fine." Di Shang: "Your face doesn''t look convincing." Meiyun had to agree with Di Shang when she saw her ghostly
pale face. She sighed and smiled at Di Shang. Meiyun: "I''m only tired from you thrusting your manly rod
into me every single night." Di Shang: "Hahaha~ It''s because I love you." Meiyun: "I know." Meiyun pecked Di Shang''s lips, yet, Di Shang pulled her into
a deep kiss. He narrowed his eyes when he tasted a familiar flavor in Meiyun''s
mouth. He pulled back and saw Meiyun smiled sweetly at him. It made
he couldn''t bring himself to ask her why her lips had a faint scent of blood. . . Di Shang told Di Yu about the mission that Hong er gave them
and was going to leave this evening. After resting for a while, Meiyun''s face
was less pale and she was getting ready for their departure to the meeting
point. It took them about 2 days to arrive at their destination as
they use the fastest way to reach the meeting point. But the entourage from
capital would take another night for them to arrive while the entourage from
southwest estimated to arrive tomorrow morning. Whilst they were waiting for the soldiers, they gathered as
much information as they could and planned the strategy to infiltrate into Da
Chu without getting noticed. The sky had gotten dark, Di Shang and Meiyun started to feel
hungry. They went to the night market to find some food. As they were also
gathering some information, they chose the most crowded restaurant in that
town. They sat at the most corner table to lessen the possibility
of their identity to be exposed. After they eat and sat around for about 2
hours, Meiyun rose from her seat and went to the restroom. When she was washing her hands, she heard a conversation
between the servants. S1: "Man, those Bei Zhou people are intimidating." S2: "Yeah dude, they break 10 of our tables and told us to pay their
medicinal bills because he stabbed his hand with a piece of wood. What a
brute." S1: "They were drunk as hell and started to harass the other
customers. Our restaurant almost lost its regular customers just because of
them. It is a good thing that they were gone." Meiyun narrowed her eyes in suspicion. She approached the
two servants that were enjoying their break time. Meiyun: "Hello big brothers, mind if I join in?" S1: "Who are you?" The servants asked confusedly. Hong er slipped 5 silver tael
to their hand. Meiyun: "Tell me about those Bei Zhou." The faces of the servants brightened as they just received a
month''s worth of wage just to tell a gossip. S1: "About a month ago, there was a lot of Bei Zhou people
pop out of nowhere. From what I heard, they reserved a whole inn for 3 weeks
just for themselves. They also reserved the second floor of our restaurant but
when they got drunk, they would come down to the first floor and pick a fight with other customers." Meiyun: "How many they are?" S1: "Hhmm…" S2: "That is the thing that we are confused. They dressed in
Da Qi''s attire but since we used to live near Bei Zhou''s border, we know how to
speak their language. Each day, their faces were different." Meiyun: "Different…" Meiyun knitted her brows. S1: "Oh although they said that they were a group of
merchant, they body build seemed to be more like fighter." S2: "Yeah, and I
accidently heard ''Take the mother, kill the child and the servants.'' From a VIP
room." Meiyun: "When did
they leave?!" S1: "A-a week ago." Meiyun widened her
eyes in shock, she rose from her seat and sprinted to Di Shang side. She took
out her Second in Command badge and handed it to Di Shang. Meiyun: "You lead
the army, I have to go back to Chang An. I will tell you everything after I
come back." Before Di Shang
could ask her anything, Meiyun rushed out of the restaurant and took her magical
then galloped like a wind.
