"what do you mean?"

Bu Ji looked at the doctor in front of him in disbelief.

The doctor glanced into the inner room before shaking his head at Bu Ji.

"This disease is incurable. Why didn't you seek medical treatment earlier for such a strong snake venom? Now the poison has invaded the limbs. No medicine can help. I'm afraid he won't live to see the end of his life."

"But apart from occasionally vomiting blood, there is nothing wrong with his body."

Seeing the doctor was about to leave, Bu Ji grabbed his clothes anxiously.

The doctor pulled his hand away from her and pointed to his head.

"He's not doing well here. When one day he can't remember anything, he'll be gone... I say, you should spend more time with your husband and let him spend this year well."

The doctor left in a hurry after he finished speaking. Bu Ji turned around and was startled to see Li Ji standing at the door.

"You heard it all..."

A sneer appeared on Li Ji's lips.

"I didn't expect that I would still be unable to escape death."

He heard everything.

"I'll find another doctor."

Bu Ji is not the kind of person who can say comforting words, so this is all he can say.

Li Ji turned around and walked inside, but suddenly stopped.

"Remember, I will write a letter now and you can help me send it to the home of Governor Su in Dingxi. He will know what to do."

The doctor gave him a few injections, which helped him to remember some things.

He was afraid that he had forgotten again, so he immediately instructed Bu Ji.

Bu Ji was stunned. Was he planning to find someone to rescue them?

I don’t know why, but Bu Ji felt reluctant to leave this mountain village, a mountain village that only belonged to him and her.

"The palace cannot be without the emperor. After a while, the court officials will inevitably become suspicious. Prince Xing is probably waiting for this opportunity. We must capture Prince Xing first. In this way, whether I go back or not, there will be no chaos in the court."

"As for the Queen Mother... Prince Yu has already controlled her. She won't die, but she can't work together with Prince Xing anymore."

Li Ji explained it briefly, as he was afraid that he would forget about it the next moment.

Bu Ji was speechless. He didn't expect that today, Li Ji was still using tricks and schemes.

After the letter was sent, life went on as usual. Li Ji saw more than a dozen doctors for his illness, but all of them seemed helpless. Li Ji knew there was no hope of recovery, so he seldom kept track of things. The decline of his memory seemed to have worn down his will.

Bu Ji was sitting at the table mending clothes when someone suddenly hugged her waist and pushed her body against the edge of the table. The needle pierced her finger. Bu Ji wiped it and looked behind helplessly.

"what happened?"

Li Ji opened his eyes wide, put his arms around Bu Ji's waist and slowly squatted down.

"How many months has your belly been like this?"

Bu Ji was frightened and broke free from Li Ji's hand.

"The baby is coming soon, in just a few days."

"People in the village always ask me whether I am pregnant with a boy or a girl... I can't answer."

Li Ji turned his face to cover Bu Ji's abdomen.

"It would be nice if it was a daughter."

Bu Ji stood up uncomfortably.

"I'm pregnant with two babies. Maybe it's a boy and a girl. If they ask again, just tell them this."

Why did he forget even this now...

Li Ji looked at her blankly, his brows suddenly wrinkled, he held his head with both hands with a look of pain on his face. Bu Ji wanted to help him but was pushed by Li Ji and staggered. Li Ji knocked his forehead which was in severe pain and his tone was full of guilt.

"I'm sorry, how could I not remember this?"

The day he forgets everything will be the day of his death... Bu Ji didn't dare to think about that day at all. After hesitating for a while, Bu Ji stepped forward, squatted down and hugged Li Ji.

"Let's go back to the capital, let's go back to the Forbidden City."

Now that Prince Xing will not come looking for them again, they have a chance to escape. When they arrive in the capital, they can always think of ways to cure their illnesses and there will always be good medicines to take.

"The Forbidden City..."

Li Ji then suddenly remembered the magnificent palace. What was he going back to do? His current health made it impossible for him to govern the huge Chu and Jin Kingdom.

"Yes, let's go back to the Forbidden City."

Li Ji struggled in his mind and pondered for a while. He snorted, turned around and walked into the house. Suddenly, his eyes went dark and he fell down.

Bu Ji walked over in panic, turned Li Ji's body over and found that blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth again. His fingers trembled as he slid across his cheek and his eyes became wet again.

Li Ji's temperament was also eroded by the poison, and his temper became sometimes good and sometimes bad. He became more moody. When he couldn't remember things, he was like a child, and when he occasionally remembered things from the past, he would be so angry that he would throw things.

Bu Ji may never be able to truly understand Li Ji's forbearance and pain, and can only accompany him silently.

She helped Li Ji lie down on the bed, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and fed him half a bowl of medicine. Finally, he felt better.

The next morning, he got up, washed, and ate as if nothing had happened.

He didn't remember what happened last night at all, nor did he remember what Bu Ji said to him.

Li Ji followed the hunter in the village to hunt. He was much better than ordinary people and had excellent archery skills. He returned from the mountain before noon.

"Madam, I'm going up the mountain to hunt."

Li Ji walked in happily carrying two wild rabbits, and rubbed his dirty face against Bu Ji.

"Don't make trouble."

Bu Ji was tickled so much that she retreated helplessly. She would no longer remind Li Ji that he had remembered something wrong. She did not want to see him suffer when he forced himself to remember something. She even thought that Li Ji was quite good, thinking that she was just an ordinary citizen. She just wanted to bring his death forward.

Li Ji often took what the villagers said as true, thinking that they were villagers just like the people here.

"Why are you making medicine again? I don't want to take it."

Li Ji frowned and leaned behind Bu Ji, and sure enough, a strong smell of medicine hit his nose.

Li Ji has been spitting out medicine as soon as he drinks it recently, with a disgusted expression on his face like a child, Bu Ji said solemnly.

"This medicine isn't bitter. I added candied fruit. You can take a little."

"I'm in very good health. I'm better at hunting than anyone else. I don't need to take medicine."

Li Ji said unhappily as he hung the hare aside.

He had no recollection of what it was like to have an attack, nor did he know that he would vomit blood.

Bu Ji wouldn't tell him either, for fear that he would be sad again.

He said he was not sick, and Bu Ji asked him to take medicine. After hesitating for a while, he took it.

"Yes, you are not sick. This is for your health. It is always good to eat it."

Bu Ji put the medicine into the plate, and Li Ji came over again, took the plate and put it on the edge of the stove.

"Don't eat."

"..."

Bu Ji looked at him helplessly and reached out to take the medicinal food, but he insisted on putting it further away.

Worried that Bu Ji would be angry, Li Ji grabbed Bu Ji's hand in a flattering manner.

"Tomorrow I will go to the market in town with the villagers and buy you a rouge."

"it is good."

Bu Ji nodded obediently. Seeing Li Ji staring at him without blinking, Bu Ji frowned and said.

“But you still have to take the medicine.”

"You take medicine, and you're in better shape, so you can hunt more prey."

"Once the child is born, the family expenses will start. Don't you want to earn more money?"

Li Ji's face immediately fell, he looked away aggrievedly, and let go of her. Bu Ji couldn't help but chuckle, she had never thought that Li Ji had this side of him.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, ma'am."

The former Li Ji, the high and mighty emperor, the supreme ruler, would never say such sweet words.

Bu Ji sometimes felt that it was quite good for him to be like this, the two of them living in seclusion in a small village like this, not knowing anyone, and just living their lives quietly.
