The next few days.

Li Ji was not willing to see a doctor, but he had to take medicinal herbs and supplements on a daily basis.

Every time Bu Ji went to the town, he was generous and would buy whatever supplements were expensive.

This is not the palace, where there is endless silver to spend. Even if she carried with her the few valuable pieces of jewelry given to her by Prince Xing and exchanged them for some silver, she would not be able to afford such spending.

Bu Ji had less and less money, so she could only learn farming from a few peasant women in the village. She learned how to grow short-season vegetables while mending clothes for the wealthy families in the town.

Perhaps because he no longer had to review memorials or deal with disputes in the court, Li Ji's complexion gradually improved. He could go hunting in the mountains and follow the villagers to chop wood and collect herbs.

But he would still vomit blood occasionally. After the attack, Li Ji could remember even less things, often lost things, and gradually became dull.

After washing clothes by the river, Bu Ji hurried back carrying the basin, and several peasant women made fun of her.

"Mrs. Fang goes home so early to cook again. She really cares about her man and is afraid that he will be hungry."

Bu Ji didn't dare to tell others Li Ji's name, and only said that her family name was Fang. Therefore, the villagers here all assumed that Li Ji's family name was Fang and called her Madam Fang.

The surname he took was Fang Wensheng’s.

Prince Xing and the princess's people probably couldn't guess this.

Bu Ji was shy. She nodded at them with a red face and left without looking back. The sound of conversation behind her made her stop again.

"Have you heard that the soldiers in the town ahead were all withdrawn a while ago? I thought they would come all the way here."

"It's not surprising. I don't know what important person is missing. I thought the town ahead was almost full of soldiers. With such a big fanfare, it's not likely that the current emperor is missing."

"Bah, bah, bah, Auntie, you really dare to say anything. If the emperor is really lost, then the world will be in chaos. Can we still wash clothes by the river?"

……

Several peasant women were chatting and laughing, accompanied by the sound of sticks hitting wet clothes. Bu Ji retreated with the laundry basin in his arms.

"Sister-in-law, have you found the person you are looking for?"

"Who knows? They were searching door to door. If the soldiers left before they got to us, they must have found it."

As the woman spoke, she looked behind Bu Ji and immediately started laughing.

"Madam Fang, your husband has come to look for you. You two really can't be apart for even a moment."

Several peasant women smiled.

Bu Ji looked back and saw Li Ji in a white shirt walking towards him. He walked over happily and whispered.

"I just went up the mountain and heard someone say that the soldiers have all withdrawn, so we don't have to hide anymore."

"They probably couldn't find us, so they stopped looking."

The most important thing is that he can find a doctor to treat his illness.

Bu Ji thought that the reason why Li Ji had to march back non-stop for seven days was that King Dingxing did not dare to trust the old man's words too much, and secondly, he did not expect that the seriously injured Li Ji would walk so far, so he withdrew the officers and soldiers and probably went forward to look for him.

It would be fine if Prince Xing looked for him, but if he didn't, it would mean that Prince Xing had already controlled the capital and was about to ascend the throne.

She absolutely could not hide in this village with Li Ji anymore. She had to cure his illness as soon as possible and then go find Prince Yu.

Li Ji glanced down at the clothes basin in her hand.

"Why are you washing clothes again? Didn't you say you would wash them when I came back?"

"When did you say that?"

Bu Ji's happy face couldn't help but freeze. He woke up early in the morning and went hunting in the mountains. He ate a bowl of porridge and a bun without saying anything.

Li Ji paused.

"Didn't I tell you this this morning?"

This one sentence brought the two of them to the bottom. Li Ji's illness could not be delayed any longer. She didn't want to watch him do what he did every day, but kept trying to remember it, but kept forgetting it.

The two returned home in silence. Bu Ji brought the dishes into the house but didn't see Li Ji. He hurried out, only to see Li Ji standing alone at the edge of a field in the distance. A cluster of wild flowers bloomed at his feet, swaying with his clothes. He stood alone, his back lonely and ethereal, as if he would cease to exist in the next moment.

Bu Ji suddenly felt more panicked than ever before and started shouting.

"Emperor... Third Master."

The pensive Li Ji was awakened and walked back home step by step with his brows tightly furrowed.

"Madam, where did we live before?"

They are not from this village, the villagers all say so.

Li Ji just started to think about his childhood, but he couldn't remember where he lived before.

"It's the capital."

Bu Ji answered and asked softly.

"I'll go get the doctor after dinner. The people chasing us have already left."

Li Ji nodded casually and walked into the house. He grew up in the capital, so how come he had no impression of it at all?

He couldn't remember where the capital was.

Probably similar to here.

There is wild rabbit for dinner today. Bu Ji looked at the rabbit on the table and remembered that a few months ago, Li Ji asked Wang Huai to send a fat wild rabbit to her palace in order to make her happy. She was greedy and asked Li Er to roast it. When she was eating, Li Ji came in. When he saw the roasted rabbit on the table, his face turned black.

"What are you thinking about?"

Li Ji put down his chopsticks and asked.

Bu Ji came back to his senses and said with a smile.

"I was thinking about what the eldest sister-in-law of the Chen family said today. She said that I will give birth in the next few days. She said that she has given birth to five children and she can tell when a pregnant woman will give birth just by looking at her."

A faint light flashed in Li Ji's dark eyes. His child was about to meet him.

"really?"

He was so excited that he almost stood up.

"Don't go out these few days. Just stay at home. I'll buy you anything to eat in town."

"I heard that giving birth is very strenuous for women and it takes a long time."

Bu Ji smiled faintly and nodded.

He always forgets what he said and what she said to him.

"She's going to give birth in a few days"

She had started saying this since the day before yesterday. Every time Li Ji heard it, he would be extremely excited, as if he was hearing it for the first time. He would tell her not to go out and to eat more meat.

How could Bu Ji not go out? The vegetables in the field needed watering, and Li Ji couldn't even remember the location of the field.

She also had to ask a doctor to come home to see him, because if Li Ji went out alone, he would not be able to find his way back.

After dinner, Bu Ji went out to ask for a doctor. Li Ji skillfully washed the dishes, simply rinsed them with water, and threw them on the kitchen table.

He had never done this kind of work before, and Bu Ji didn't teach him, thinking it was unnecessary.

He will return to the palace eventually.

When the doctor arrived, it was already dark outside. Bu Ji lit a candle in the room and went forward to take a look.

The doctor came out and looked at Bu Ji and said.

"Madam Fang, I am helpless."

"Please ask another doctor to take a look."
