Forced to be a concubine? I turned around and married the scumbag's father.

Zhou Zhilan, worried that she might be anxious, said, "It's alright. You fell into a deep sleep, but time waits for no one. The lord could only have Chi Yu send you back to Juzhou. Later, he ordered his men to detonate the city tower of Shicheng County, and at the same time, he personally led his troops to raid the capital of Dali County."

Gu Hua's expression changed: "Detonated the city wall? Is everyone alright?"

"It's nothing. It's just to make the Prince of Dali think their plot has succeeded, so they'll let their guard down," Zhou Zhilan reassured her.

Gu Hua suddenly remembered: "Is Chi Yu here?"

“Yes, I am,” Zhou Zhilan said to Donghua. “Donghua, go and call them quickly.”

Soon, Donghua called Chiyu in.

Where is Ji Xuanyu's body?

"Reporting to Madam, at the mortuary in Juzhou City, the master has instructed that once you regain consciousness, the funeral arrangements will be made according to your wishes."

Gu Hua felt a pang in her heart. Mu Junyan cared too much about her feelings; otherwise, Ji Xuanyu was so heinous that there would be no funeral to be held.

"Quickly check his inner garment. Before he died, he told me that the antidote to the poison was written on it."

Akabane and the others were surprised.

"really?"

Shen Li was carrying in a bowl of medicine: "I knew there must be an antidote. Since there's an antidote, there must be a recipe for it. Go and get it quickly, I want to see the recipe."

Akabane didn't dare to delay and was about to go when Gu Hua added, "Let's change his clothes."

"Yes," Akabane replied and hurried off.

"Drink your medicine right away."

Shen Li said coldly, "You have a child yourself, yet you don't know how to be careful."

Gu Hua took the medicine bowl, and like a child who had done something wrong, whispered, "I didn't expect I would get pregnant."

After saying that, he felt a little guilty.

Drink the medicine in one gulp as soon as possible.

Gu Hua touched her lower abdomen. Could it be that the child who could not be born in her previous life has been reincarnated?

My heart ached, and my eyes welled up with tears.

My child, is that you?

But isn't it difficult for her to get pregnant?

Looking at her pitiful appearance, Shen Li's face remained cold, but her tone softened considerably.

"I specially prepared these pills for you. Each pill is equivalent to three bowls of herbal medicine. You've been taking them for two months now, so you'll definitely get better. Besides, difficulty conceiving doesn't mean you can't get pregnant. If the man is very strong, it's possible. This baby is almost two months along."

Almost two months?

Gu Hua thought about what Shen Li had said about the men being more powerful...

you do not say?

The child's father is really tough.

Perhaps it was fate that the child missed her father, so she personally delivered the food to save him?

Gu Hua nodded quickly: "That's right, with Doctor Shen here, my child is back."

Shen Li didn't understand what she meant by "coming back." But she never paid attention to irrelevant things; the safety of mother and child was the most important thing to her.

Gu Hua choked up again.

Although my fate has changed in this life, some things still arrive as scheduled.

According to the timeline of my previous life, five days later... news of Mu Junyan's death would reach Bianjing.

She was drowned by Mu An just half a month later, after she had just learned that she was pregnant.

Now, all the difficulties have been resolved.

The explosion crisis in Shicheng County has been resolved, and the child has arrived ahead of schedule. Mu Junyan will surely return in triumph.

He has a child, and she wants to tell him this good news in person.

Half an hour later, Akabane returned.

Shen Li took the undergarment from his hand, and sure enough, there were a few lines of small characters written on the back. She quickly read them, and the serious look on her face faded considerably.

"I'll try."

She took her undergarments and left.

Gu Hua was finally relieved.

Soon, Shen Li turned back with an excited expression.

"The antidote is real. The infected people are saved, and I'm rushing to the clinic to get the medicine."

After saying that, he left like a gust of wind.

"Donghua, Dongqing, both of you go help Shen Li. There are many people in the city who have been poisoned, and she may not be able to handle it all."

Zhou Zhilan said, "You all go ahead, Madam, I'll take care of things."

Donghua and Dongqing agreed and left, and Gu Hua finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Brother Ji, you've finally done something good, so you've atoned for your sins, right?

Gu Hua remembered that Ji Xuanyu had another matter to attend to: "Chi Yu. There is one more thing I need you to do. It is of great importance. Do not let anyone else know about it. You can go alone."

"Yes."

It wasn't until dark that Shen Li, Dong Hua, and Dong Qing returned, all three of them exhausted.

Gu Hua hurriedly directed people to boil water for them to bathe, and also had dinner prepared for them.

Shen Li glared at her while eating, "Why aren't you staying in bed? What are you doing wandering around everywhere?"

Gu Hua, wrapped in a thick cloak, smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Dr. Shen, I've been lying here for three days and two nights, and my bones are stiff. I'm just getting up and walking around slowly, and I don't dare to move around too much."

“You didn’t just lie there for three days and two nights, you were unconscious for three days and two nights.”

Shen Li angrily slammed down her chopsticks and bowl, strode over, and grabbed her arms with both hands.

Although she seemed rough, she used just the right amount of force to gently support Gu Hua and carry her into the house.

Zhou Zhilan, who was standing next to Gu Hua, was also startled when she heard this, and quickly took the other arm.

"My goodness, you still can't get out of bed? It's all my fault, I didn't take good care of you."

Gu Hua was both amused and exasperated: "I can walk by myself, you two don't need to support me, my feet can barely touch the ground."

Shen Li said with a serious face, "Don't move around. This way you won't have to exert too much effort. Move gently and you won't hurt the child."

Having no other choice, Gu Hua was carried into the room by their strength and then helped onto the bed and covered with a blanket.

She was taken care of like a baby.

"Dr. Shen, how long do I need to lie here?" Gu Hua asked, pouting as she leaned against the bed.

In her previous life, she wasn't so pampered during her pregnancy; she was abused and humiliated, and she didn't even lose her child.

This child is Mu Junyan's offspring; he should be even stronger.

"You need to protect your pregnancy. Wait until the Duke of Yongguo returns before you get out of bed. I need to hand you and the baby over to him whole."

Gu Hua: "..."

"lady."

"Chiyu." Gu Hua heard Chiyu's voice and subconsciously tried to get out of bed.

Shen Li and Zhou Zhilan jumped over together, pinned her down, and shouted in unison, "Don't move!"

Zhou Zhilan called out to the outside, "Madam needs to rest now. If there's anything, come back tomorrow."

"It's an important matter that Madam instructed me to handle," Akabane said awkwardly from outside.

Gu Hua had no choice but to plead, "Then let him in and give us his answer. It really is something important."

Zhou Zhilan glanced at Gu Hua, recalling her serious demeanor when instructing Chi Yu, and discussed with Shen Li, "Then let him come in and give his answer?"

Shen Li frowned: "She can't overexert herself. Being unconscious for so long is exhausting. Adults can recover after a good night's sleep, but the baby in her belly can't take it."

Gu Hua thought to herself that the two of them were even more nervous than she was, but could only explain, "It really is a matter of great importance concerning the Lord."

Shen Li nodded: "Don't talk for too long, I'll go and brew you another bowl of medicine."

Akabane walked in carrying a wooden box about a foot wide.

Gu Hua patted the low table beside the bed, "Put it here."

Akabane put the box down and quickly stepped back, keeping his head down and not daring to look directly at the lady.

Gu Hua touched the box, feeling a little sad.

This is the second thing Brother Ji needs to do to atone for his sins.

He said it concerned the Jiang family, so it must be something important.

"Akaba, go outside and keep watch. No one is allowed to come near."

"Yes." Akabane did as instructed and went to stand guard at the door.

Zhou Zhilan touched the sandalwood box curiously: "This box is so valuable, is it filled with rare jewels?"

"No. It could be evidence of crimes committed by the Jiang clan."

Zhou Zhilan opened her mouth in surprise, her expression turning serious.

"Sister Zhilan, please open it for me."
