Poison Doctor Roaming the Martial World

"You should rest well and get healthy before watching the show."

Dan Niang lay on the bed and nodded slightly. "Yes, thank you, Master."

Yang Jianwu tucked the blanket around Danniang and led the others away.

Upon seeing Yang Jianwu and the others emerge, Li Ming hurriedly stepped forward to greet them, "Master, how is Dan Niang?"

"He's fine now, he just needs to rest for a couple of days."

"Oh……"

Li Ming responded softly, his head down, seemingly lost in thought.

Yang Jianwu tilted her head to look at Li Ming; this guy was acting strange today!

"Li Ming, you seem disappointed?"

Li Ming quickly denied it, "That's not true."

"He's usually a pretty smart person, so why does he act so foolish when it comes to Dan Niang? Could it be that he has feelings for her?"

Yang Jianwu was just joking casually, but Li Ming readily admitted it.

"Yeah, you just found out?"

Yang Jianwu, "..."

Why is there a hint of blame? Could it be...?

"Li Ming, you were just muttering a bunch of excuses in the room, were you planning to become Dan Niang's antidote yourself?!"

It has to be said, that woman was right.

Li Ming lowered his head and scratched the back of his head, his mouth almost stretched to the back of his ears.

"Actually... it's not impossible... Master is known for doting on his subordinates, he certainly wouldn't bear to see Dan Niang suffer..."

Yang Jianwu gave Li Ming a sharp rap on the head, "What kind of hero takes advantage of someone in distress!"

Li Ming felt wronged...

"I truly love Dan Niang..."

"Go after her if she likes you!"

"I chased after them... but I couldn't catch them... that's why..."

Yang Jianwu shook his head helplessly, "You have to pursue your own wife yourself!"

Three days later, Yang Jianwu arrived at the Seventh Prince's residence as promised. As soon as she stepped through the gate, she heard a soft voice calling out, "Sister, you've finally arrived!"

Looking in the direction of the sound, Nalan Lianyi walked towards them. It had only been three days since they last met, but Nalan Lianyi's face was sallow and she looked weak and unable to take care of herself.

"Sister, I don't even enjoy my food when you're not here."

Yang Jianwu reached out to support Nalan Lianyi, who then clung to him, limp and soft like a koala.

"Why do you look so tired..."

Yang Jianwu took Nalan Lianyi's wrist and carefully checked her pulse, but found nothing wrong. Could pregnancy really be this painful?

Just a few days ago, they had a meal together in the courtyard. Judging from how much stinky tofu and wisteria flower cakes they consumed, Lianyi didn't seem to have a poor appetite...

Is your morning sickness still severe?

Yang Jianwu looked at Nalan Lianyi with concern. She must not have been eating well these past few days, as her previously round chin had become pointed.

Nalan Lianyi nodded slightly and said weakly, "Since my sister went back, she's become the same as before."

"Have you gone out for a walk?"

Nalan Lianyi rolled her eyes at the head maid next to her and pouted.

"The nanny said it was windy and she was afraid I would catch a cold, so she helped me back to lie down after walking a few steps."

It's that old nanny again!

Yang Jianwu looked around and saw familiar faces from the Seventh Prince's residence. Mo Yu had taken a liking to Lianyi's pregnancy, so he must have sent someone he trusted to take care of her.

This head maid is an old hand in the household; could she have been bribed?

Once again, I'm struck by how bad Luo Qi's taste is...

"You may leave now. I have something to say to your queen."

The head maid gave Yang Jianwu a perfunctory bow, her nostrils flared, and said dismissively, "Miss Yang, our Princess is currently pregnant, which is extremely precious! If anything were to happen to her, you wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility!"

"Granny, have I given you any face? How dare you speak to my friend in such a tone!"

Nalan Lianyi wanted to reprimand the head maid, but she lacked the strength to do so, and her words were utterly intimidating.

"Your Highness, please don't be offended by what I'm about to say, but as your belly grows bigger, it will certainly be inconvenient for you to serve His Highness."

There's no guarantee that some maids won't try to seduce His Highness; it would be better to find him a concubine or secondary consort as soon as possible, rather than having those with ill intentions harboring wicked thoughts.

Yang Jianwu didn't know where the head maid came from, she hadn't been treated this way when she visited the Seventh Prince's residence years ago.

However, she wouldn't tolerate such an insignificant person.

"Whether I can take responsibility or not is none of your concern. You just need to know that if you utter another word, I can shut you up forever!"

As Yang Jianwu spoke, she pulled out a fruit knife from who-knows-where; it was gleaming and looked very sharp.

"you……"

The head maid turned pale as she recalled the beating she had suffered last time, and her cheeks seemed to be throbbing with pain. In the end, she obediently shut her mouth.

Miss Yang is a madwoman. If she really makes a move, we might not be able to escape. Let's not offend her for now.

Seeing that the head maid had finally behaved herself, Yang Jianwu nodded with slight satisfaction.

She scoffed inwardly at the head maid, realizing she was a bully who preyed on the weak, but now was not the time to argue with her.

She waved her hand, signaling the head maid to take her people away quickly.

The head maid felt as if she had been granted a pardon, and she quickly led everyone away after slightly bending her knees.

After they left, Yang Jianwu looked at Nalan Lianyi and asked with concern, "Did you take the pregnancy-preserving medicine I gave you on time?"

"I ate them all on time."

Nalan Lianyi smiled slightly, gently stroking her lower abdomen, her face radiating maternal love, "I'm taking very good care of this little one."

Yang Jianwu used the space again to conduct a full-body examination on Nalan Lianyi, and still found nothing unusual.

The previous medication to prevent miscarriage has been stopped, so the problem is not with the medication itself.

Lianyi changes her clothes every day, so it's impossible for anyone to tamper with them.

Three days ago, at a gathering in the courtyard, Lianyi seemed to be in good spirits and had a good appetite...

Whether before or after the last gathering, Lianyi felt unwell, and at that time, she spent most of her time in her room!

That's most likely due to her daily diet, or there's something wrong with her room!

"Lianyi, I haven't even seen the glass window I gave you yet. Since Moyu isn't here today, could you take me to see it?"

"That's easy, sister, come with me."

Nalan Lianyi excitedly led Yang Jianwu toward the West Palace, as if being with her sister naturally made her feel better.

Yang Jianwu paid close attention to the layout of the Seventh Prince's residence the whole way, scanning every part with spatial data, afraid of missing anything.

The West Palace where Nalan Lianyi lived was renovated by Li Ge and Li Ming, and it is said that Mo Yu also participated in the design.

The entire east wall of the sleeping quarters is made of thousands of diamond-shaped glass pieces, like a waterfall of ice crystals cascading down nine feet. Sunlight is refracted through the facets and turns into colorful fragments of gold, which flow on the blue brick floor inlaid with silver wire, creating the light and shadow of phoenixes flapping their wings.

The rosewood chaise lounge inlaid with mother-of-pearl faces the glazed glass curtain wall, allowing people to enjoy the beautiful scenery outside the window while sitting on the chaise lounge.

This was Yang Jianwu's first time entering the inner room of the West Hall. Even though she knew it was a sunroom made of glass, she was still quite amazed when she saw it.
