Tang Youyou didn't care about her swollen belly. She turned around and rushed towards the door, but was stopped by Old Tang, who was walking in head - on.
"Where are you rushing to? You're not alone now. You can't do strenuous exercise. Do you understand?"
Seeing her kin by her side, Tang Youyou burst into tears. All her previous fears and grievances came pouring out.
"Oh, dear. What's going on? Why are you crying?" Old Tang quickly wiped her tears. "Don't worry. That young man will be fine. It's just a rare and deep - seated poison. There's no poison in this world that I can't cure. It'll just take some time."
Hearing Old Tang's assurance, Tang Youyou finally felt relieved. The stone in her heart finally dropped.
"I want to go and see him."
Old Tang said, "Your body hasn't fully recovered yet. You can't move around casually. It's windy outside, and you can't catch a cold. Go back quickly. You can go out when you're in better shape."
Tang Youyou could feel that her body was indeed rather weak. She was worried about Rong Xun, but she thought that with Old Tang around, there shouldn't be any problem.
But then she thought of the poison on Rong Xun, and her heart tightened.
"No. Rong Xun's poison hasn't been cured yet. I have to go and see. Rong Jiangyu said that the poison on him is extremely rare. Old man, can you cure it?"
Old Tang's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Of course. There's no poison in this world that I, the Medical Immortal Tang, can't cure. Just rest assured."
Hearing Old Tang's assurance, Tang Youyou finally let go of all her worries.
The weather had been bad these days. Although it was the season between spring and summer, the place they were in had a winter - like climate.
Since that day, Rong Xun had been in a coma. Although the poison in his body had been cured, it had been in his body for too long, and it had a great impact on his body. This time, he just wouldn't wake up.
Now, Tang Youyou was due to give birth in about a month. Everyone was watching her closely and wouldn't let her do anything.
"I just want to move something. I'm not allowed to touch this or that. Forget it. I'll go and see Rong Xun."
She walked into the room where Rong Xun was. Basically, she came to see him every day, always looking forward to the day when the man on the bed would open his eyes and be by her side when she gave birth.
But it seemed impossible now.
Old Tang said that for him to wake up, he had to rely on his own willpower. The poison was extremely rare and had a great impact on his body. The fact that he was still alive was already a miracle.
Hearing these words, Tang Youyou's eyes welled up with tears like a broken dam.
As for Rong Jiangyu, after being poisoned by the toxic smoke of Zhui Feng and Tie Shou, he had been imprisoned in the dungeon of the Wuya Pavilion. How to deal with him would have to wait until Rong Xun woke up.
But the good news for Tang Youyou was that the old woman Lin Yuan had been found at her station by their own people in the Western Regions, and she had been executed on the spot.
This should have been a heart - warming thing, but Tang Youyou couldn't be happy because so far, there was no sign of Rong Xun waking up.
She lay on the bedside of Rong Xun and heard Ye Yue and the others discussing the affairs of the Ming Kingdom outside.
She had heard something about what happened later. Song Xumo had successfully become the monarch of the Ming Kingdom, and Xu Songlin had become his capable general and the prime minister, second only to the monarch.
The two complemented each other in politics and managed the Ming Kingdom in an orderly manner. Although there were still some problems, everything was moving in a good direction.
Tang Youyou's fingertips traced his eyebrows, the tip of his nose, and his lips. Pouting, she said slowly, "You haven't even taken me to visit the Wuya Pavilion yet. Didn't you set up the Wuya Pavilion specifically for me? Then you have to wake up early and take me for a stroll. I heard that the Wuya Pavilion is so big that it takes a whole day to explore."
But no matter how much Tang Youyou said, the man on the bed showed no reaction at all.
She sighed. Her legs were numb from standing. She almost fell when she stood up.
Tang Youyou let out a cry of pain and quickly grabbed the wooden pillar.
What she didn't see was that the hand by the bed suddenly twitched after her cry.
It was snowing here. Because Old Tang said that the cold weather was good for his recovery, they had moved here.
It was winter for three seasons of the year here. Now, goose - feather - like snowflakes were floating outside. The snowflakes that landed in her hand were perfectly hexagonal.
"I really wish you could see how beautiful these snowflakes are."
Tang Youyou was wrapped in a woolen cloak, looking like a white snowball.
When she got back into the house, she suddenly felt a warm sensation in her lower abdomen. When she took off her clothes to check, she found that her amniotic fluid had broken.
"Zhui Feng! Zhui Feng!"
The people outside heard the call and quickly rushed in. Seeing Tang Youyou holding on to the table, Zhui Feng quickly sent out a loud signal.
In the room, Tang Youyou was sweating profusely from the pain. She grabbed the bedside tightly, her whole face straining.
"I can't do it anymore. I don't want to give birth. I'm so tired. I can't stand it!"
Four top - notch midwives, four top - notch doctors, and a medical immortal of the world were all by her bedside, trying to figure out a way.
"Youyou, push a little harder. The baby is almost out. Just make one more effort."
Tang Youyou never dreamed that giving birth would be so painful. It seemed that all the pain and torture she had endured in her life couldn't compare to this moment of suffering.
"Rong Xun! Rong Xun! Why aren't you here yet!" Tang Youyou cried and shouted. Her fringe was completely soaked with sweat, and her neck was also covered in sweat.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, the door creaked, but at this moment, everyone, who were all focused on the child - birth, didn't notice that a figure had come in.
"It hurts so much. I don't want to give birth! Rong Xun!"
A pair of hands caressed her sweaty forehead. A gentle voice, "I'm here," slipped into her ear.
Tang Youyou opened her tired eyes and met those warm, gentle eyes that she hadn't seen for so long. She burst into tears.
"Why did you come so late? Why did you come so late?"
"I'm sorry, You'er. Your husband is late."
"Madam, push a little harder. The head is out. It'll be over soon!"
Tang Youyou shouted heart - rendingly and grabbed Rong Xun's hand tightly until a cry of "wa" echoed throughout the room.
"It's twins! A boy and a girl! There's also a baby girl!"
"Congratulations, Master of the Pavilion. Congratulations, Madam!"
...
In the inner courtyard of the Wuya Pavilion, Tang Youyou was sleeping on Rong Xun's shoulder. Peach blossoms were floating down and landing on her shoulder. Someone carefully brushed them away.
"Daddy, sister is stealing my things!"
Rong Xun quickly made a shushing gesture. "Be quiet. Your mother is sleeping. Go to the other courtyard and practice martial arts with Uncle Wen Xue."
Tang Youyou opened her hazy eyes and saw Rong Xun playing with the end of her hair. She gave a charming smile.
"I dreamed of you."
