The more Lin Mengya found out about Long Tianyu, the more she knew what on earth was on his back.
He was bearing a heavy burden alone.
Even if she did everything she could to help him out, she would only be able to relieve his worries for a moment.
Leaning into his arms, she looked a little tired.
He lowered his head. Seeing that she was sleeping on his chest, he couldn’t help but slow down the horse so that the two of them wouldn’t feel so shaken.
Although Lin Mengya was strong and had never said anything, as her husband, he could feel the change in her body.
Compared with when she had just arrived at the mansion a year ago, she seemed to be much weaker now.
It was because she had always been thin, making people feel that she was weak.
However, she would always take a nap in a corner unnoticed.
Every time he saw her sleeping, he felt both distressed and worried.
He knew how stubborn she was. He also knew that she would never agree to stay behind others and become a mistress protected by them.
However, he didn’t know if her body could still hold on if things went on like this.
“Your Highness, the things you asked for have been delivered to the tent.”
Back at the campsite, Li Jia came to make a report.
After seeing the princess in the prince’s arms, he could not help lowering his voice and whispering in Long Tianyu’s ear.
“Alright, don’t let anyone wake the princess up. You can do as you see fit.”
Li Jia took the order. Long Tianyu held Lin Mengya, who was as light as a feather, and walked calmly into their tent.
He gently placed her on the bed. Mo Yan bit his finger and looked at them curiously with his big, innocent eyes.
“Shh, your aunt is tired. Don’t wake her up.”
Long Tianyu placed his finger on Mo Yan’s lips and said softly.
He didn’t know if it was because Little Bean had really understood, or if he was full enough. He really didn’t make noise.
Biting his finger, Mo Yan turned his face sideways and looked at Lin Mengya, who was very close to him. His big black eyes were probably filled with curiosity over the baby.
Long Tianyu took off her shoes and coat and covered her with the quilt.
No one knew the details of their days and nights together. Only he could feel that Lin Mengya’s body was gradually losing its warmth.
No matter how warm the room was, her limbs were always filled with a frightening coldness after she fell asleep.
Long Tianyu could only relax and fall asleep once he was holding her in his arms and warming her hands and feet with his own.
Turning around and walking over to the desk, Long Tianyu saw a plain brocade box placed on the desk alone.
After a moment’s thought, he opened the box.
There was a fiery red herb in it. As soon as he opened the box, he smelled a faint medicinal scent.
Fortunately, the herb’s appearance was not bad.
He closed the brocade box and glanced at Lin Mengya, who was sleeping soundly. He then picked up the brocade box and strode towards Baili Rui’s tent.
Xiao Yixin was in a dilemma now. Although he was not tactful, he was not used to confronting others because of his upbringing.
However, he had not expected the two people in front of him to argue so fiercely.
They had been arguing for almost two hours, but they didn’t seem to have any intention of stopping.
Unfortunately, he had been asked by Lin Mengya to take good care of Mr. Baili. Therefore, even if he wanted to hide, he could not.
“Are you guys tired? Do you need to drink some water?”
Finally, he grabbed the opportunity to intervene.
However, the two people gave him a cold look at the same time.
Xiao Yixin could only slink back to his position in embarrassment.
“Alright, go on…”
With a smile, he finally managed to divert their attention away from him.
He took a step back helplessly and watched as the quarrel between Baili Rui and Gu Die entered the next stage.
Although Gu Die was young, she was not as good as Baili Rui at arguing.
“You quack, you don’t know how to detoxify at all!”
Her prescription had been rejected by an unknown man. Gu Die was angry.
“You think you know how? Then why don’t you try the medicine yourself? Since you are a famous doctor, you can go and get infected. Then you can try to see if your medicine is effective or not.”
Baili Rui was so calm that he didn’t even move his butt away from his chair. He just raised his eyelids while Gu Die was so angry that she almost rushed over to strangle him.
“You… You are making a mountain out of a molehill! My father developed this prescription himself. Do you know who he is? If you dare to talk to my father like this, you won’t be able to be a doctor anymore!”
Gu Die was almost exasperated. Although Xiao Yixin and Baili Rui didn’t know who her father was, they could tell from Gu Die’s tone that he must be a master.
“Your father? Everyone can be called a famous doctor now? Boy, even the second son of the Helian Clan has to call me martial uncle when he sees me. Who is your father? How could he take out such a deadly prescription? Your doctor’s sects have also learned the trick of deceiving the world.”
Xiao Yixin was confused by his words.
However, Gu Die immediately became silent.
The Second Young Master of the Helian Clan was Helian Yucheng.
He had become renowned as a rare medical genius recently.
Even her father had said that maybe in the future, the doctor’s sects would be supported by him.
This person actually knew Helian. Was he really a hidden master?
“Humph, as expected, the people from the doctor’s sects still pay attention to this kind of relationship. You don’t have to guess who I am. Let me tell you. I can tell who made this prescription at one glance. Speaking of which, your father does have some skills. There are only a few people in the world that I respect. He’s one of them.”
Gu Die suddenly fell quiet, not daring to say anything else.
Although her father doted on her, she had stolen her father’s prescription on her own this time.
If the person in front of her was really her father’s old friend, she was afraid that when she returned home, she would be grounded for a long time.
“I wrote this prescription myself. I’m not familiar with the Helian family at all.”
Seeing that she was still being so stubborn, Baili Rui sneered and then quietly stood up from his seat.
“Your father must not know that you took an obsolete prescription out to save people. Since the prescription is complete, have you thought about why your father would abandon it? It’s because he knows the fatal weakness of the prescription, but you still don’t!”
After hearing Baili Rui’s words, Gu Die made up her mind not to admit it.
However, she was mumbling in her heart.
Because half of what he had said was true.
The prescription had indeed been stolen, but not by her.
Could it be that Gu Xing had taken the wrong one in a hurry?
Although she felt guilty in her heart, on the surface, she refused to give in and insisted that she developed this prescription.
Baili Rui wouldn’t expose her. Only the good impression he had of those so-called doctors in his heart disappeared.
“Sir, Prince Yu is here.”
Xiao Yixin, who finally caught the opportunity, hurriedly reported it to Mr. Baili.
There was a sudden flash of joy in Gu Die’s eyes. However, in the next moment, it seemed that she had thought of something, and her eyes dimmed.
“Please come in.”
Baili Rui’s attitude towards Long Tianyu, his son-in-law, had improved a lot, especially after Long Tianyu had hinted that he wanted to avenge Lin Mengya when he was treating Xiao Yixin.
He had a better impression of this calculating boy because of this.
Long Tianyu came in with the brocade box.
As soon as he entered, he saw Gu Die by Baili Rui’s side.
However, he just glanced at her once.
He would not let anyone off if they dared to harm Lin Mengya.
“What’s the matter?”
Lin Mengya often came here, and most of the time, Long Tianyu would be by her side.
Now she had come alone. There must be something very important.
Long Tianyu put a box in front of Baili Rui. The latter opened the box in confusion. Then, together with Gu Die, he widened his eyes and looked at the fiery red herb in the box.
“Fire Glossy Ganoderma! It’s such a big one!”
Gu Die cried out in shock almost immediately.
This thing was very rare. Usually, it could only grow to the size of a thumb after about ten years. But the one in front of her was as long as a palm.
Moreover, Fire Glossy Ganoderma would only appear in extremely hot places.
It would be hard to find one in a hundred years.
Now, it was quietly lying there in front of them. How could they, the doctors, not be moved by it?
“This is…”
Baili Rui was much more knowledgeable than Gu Die.
The essential function of the Fire Glossy Ganoderma was to drive away cold and warm meridians.
To a cold disease, even only a little powder could be very useful. Maybe it could not cure the disease; but it could at least bring a huge improvement.
It should be noted that the human body needed the balance of Yin and Yang to be healthy.
If a person had excessive Yang, he or she would have a fever. If the Yin were too strong, he or she would suffer from cold diseases.
However, the Fire Glossy Ganoderma could adjust Yin and Yang from the foundation so that people would no longer suffer from the cold.
Therefore, the value of the Fire Glossy Ganoderma was well known.
Such a plant had been placed there; even Baili Rui couldn’t help but feel that he was a little short of breath.
“She’s not in good health. I would like to ask you to integrate this into the medicine she usually takes.”
Long Tianyu’s words stunned Baili Rui and Gu Die.
The former was surprised at Long Tianyu’s sharpness, while the latter was surprised at how he was dealing with this thing.
