The moon had risen sometime earlier, and by its light, Zhao Lian quickly reached the mountain. Relying on her memory, she soon found the place where she had dug the water pit earlier.

Upon closer inspection, Zhao Lian was pleasantly surprised to find that, just as she had expected, there was indeed water in the puddle, reflecting the moon in the sky with a soft glow.

Zhao Lian took out a tinderbox, blew on it, and lit it. The water immediately became bright, and it was estimated that the water in the puddle was more than ten centimeters deep. After settling, the water looked much clearer.

Zhao Lian wasn't in a hurry to fill the container with water, because she still needed to find herbs. She planned to fill it with water after she found the herbs, so that there would be more water available then.

I wandered around yesterday and Zhaolian remembered seeing some suitable herbs, but she didn't pay attention to them at the time. Now that I'm suddenly asked to find them, I don't know where they are.

The light from the tinderbox was very weak, and it was difficult to see clearly at night.

After much effort, Zhao Lian finally found the herbs, pulled them up, tied them together, and then turned back to fill the water container.

The water was a few centimeters deeper than before. Zhao Lian took out a water gourd, which was quite large and could probably hold two or three kilograms of water.

I brought three water hyacinths with me, and the water in the puddle filled them all.

Zhao Lian didn't encounter any other animals along the way. When she returned, she found that many people in the dilapidated temple were asleep. Sensing someone coming in, those who weren't asleep opened their eyes alertly, but when they saw it was Zhao Lian, they closed their eyes again.

Liu Jinzhu wasn't asleep either. He was worried because Zhao Lian hadn't returned, and besides, there were other strangers around, so he had to be careful and couldn't fall into a deep sleep.

Seeing that it was Zhao Lian who had returned, Liu Jinzhu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Lian looked around and, seeing that no one was paying attention to her, patted the water gourd at her waist with a showy air and lowered her voice: "Uncle, look!"

"We found water!" Liu Jinzhu exclaimed with delight.

"That's right!"

"Shh~ Keep your voice down!" Zhao Lian put her index finger to her lips in a shushing gesture.

Zhao Lian turned her head to look at Li Gang and found him fast asleep. She immediately rolled her eyes. This guy is really carefree. His wife is not feeling well and he can still sleep so soundly. She then kicked him with her foot.

"Who's there? Stop messing around!"

Li Gang patted the bed with his hand, mumbled something, rolled over on his side, and then fell asleep again.

"Li Gang, wake up! Do you still want to keep your wife and children?"

Zhao Lian's words immediately jolted Li Gang awake, and he sat up abruptly.

Yes! Min'er wasn't feeling well, how could I have forgotten about it and been sleeping so soundly?

Li Gang immediately checked on Chen Min and saw that she was breathing evenly and sleeping soundly, which relieved him.

"You're finally awake! Ha! Your wife wasn't feeling well, yet you were sleeping so soundly." Zhao Lian's words filled Li Gang with guilt.

Li Gang, feeling a little guilty, stammered, "Because I didn't know when you would come back. When I saw Min'er asleep, I didn't know when I fell asleep too."

"Okay, hurry up and take this to brew the medicine. This pot of water is for you, and give her some water while you're at it." Zhao Lian handed over the water gourd and herbs.

"Zhao Lian, you actually found water! That's wonderful! Now my wife is saved!" Li Gang was overjoyed.

However, upon hearing that the medicine needed to be brewed soon, he hesitated: "Brewing medicine so late? Why don't we wait until tomorrow?"

Zhao Lian said irritably, "This is a matter of life and death, how can we wait? Don't be fooled by her current good condition, if we wait any longer it will be too late."

The reason Chen Min is able to sleep soundly and has a good complexion is because I have transferred my true energy into her body. She is relying entirely on this true energy to stay alive.

Fortunately, the bleeding was stopped, otherwise the fetus would have been lost.

This true energy can only last for three hours at most, which is why Zhao Lian was in such a hurry to find herbs late at night.

Unexpectedly, the emperor was not worried, but the eunuch was. Li Gang didn't seem to care at all, so Zhao Lian could only explain the seriousness of the matter to him.

Upon hearing Zhao Lian's words, Li Gang was instantly wide awake: "Okay, I'll go right away."

While Li Gang was brewing the medicine, Zhao Lian took Chen Min's pulse again. Her pulse was still very weak. Chen Min was not asleep, but had fainted again.

Zhao Lian dared not be careless at all, and could only transfer some more true energy to her before sitting down next to her to rest.

She had to keep a close eye on Chen Min's condition at all times, and couldn't afford to make any mistakes.

Before long, the aroma of Chinese medicine rose from the dilapidated temple. After about half an hour, the medicine was finally ready.

"Wife, wife, wake up~" Li Gang gently patted Chen Min's cheek. After a while, Chen Min slowly woke up.

"Come on, let me feed you your medicine." With that, Li Gang helped Chen Min sit up.

Fearing the medicine was too hot, Li Gang blew on it again.

Chen Min frowned: "Hmm~ This medicine is really bitter."

"Wife, good medicine tastes bitter, drink it quickly. This is a medicine to prevent miscarriage. It was brought back by Zhaolian late at night. We are lucky to have met her, otherwise we don't know what we would have done!"

Chen Min looked at Zhao Lian with a weak smile: "Miss Zhao Lian, thank you so much?"

Zhao Lian waved her hand: "Alright, you're still weak right now, don't talk so much."

After taking the medicine, and seeing that Chen Min had no other discomfort, Zhao Lian was relieved.

Once she relaxed, she felt sleepy and found a slightly cleaner spot, leaning against the wall as she fell asleep.

At daybreak, Zhao Lian asked Li Gang to boil the dregs of the medicine again. After drinking the medicine and resting for a night, Chen Min's pulse was strong and steady.

Zhao Lian knew that the medicine was working, which meant it was the right medicine for her condition.

Taking advantage of the daylight, Zhao Lian planned to make another trip up the mountain, this time bringing Li Gang with her.

Because of Chen Min's physical condition, it is not suitable for her to continue traveling; she needs to rest for a while.

Zhao Lian brought Li Gang along because she wanted him to know where the puddle was and to teach him to identify the herbs.

The fetus has been saved temporarily, but we cannot let our guard down. We still need to take medication to maintain the pregnancy for a while longer.

They would have to stay in the dilapidated temple for a while, and of course he couldn't wait for them, so he could only take him up the mountain and let him find water on his own.

After settling overnight, the puddle was full of water, the water so clear you could see the bottom. Zhao Lian filled all the water gourds she had brought with water.

Li Gang was overjoyed. Luckily, he encountered Zhao Lian; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Now, things were much better; not only was there water, but there were also herbs.

The two walked around and saw some wild vegetables nearby. In addition to picking the herbs, they also picked these wild vegetables.
