Chapter 45: Chapter 45: There is a Normal Heartbeat Now! Chapter 45: Chapter 45: There is a Normal Heartbeat Now! “Fallen ill?” Bai Wuheng looked at the woman who kept silent, his mind inevitably recalling the screams he had heard when Ye Yunting sent people to induce the abortion. He ultimately felt a surge of compassion.
After all, he was the one who prescribed the medicine. Although he disliked this woman who had harmed Yingying, he had ultimately harmed an innocent child.
Chu Nanli looked up and saw Bai Wuheng approaching, clearly observing his features.
Dressed in a white robe, with a jade crown holding back his hair, he had a handsome face. His expression toward her combined the pride of a noble family’s son with a touch of complexity.
Truly, a noble and unreachable divine doctor.
Unfortunately, his heart was black.
Chu Nanli did not stand up, her tone indifferent, “What brings Divine Doctor Bai to this humble abode of mine?”
Her expression was unchanged, but her heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that this man knew about the two children in her womb and was now targeting the other child?
Bai Wuheng pursed his lips.
Originally, he had not planned to come in. Passing by, he heard a sneeze and subconsciously glanced into the courtyard. The remnants of a great fire were still shocking in the night, and somehow, he found himself walking inside impulsively.
“I’ll take your pulse.”
Upon hearing this, Chu Nanli instantly became alert.
Take her pulse? Was this an attempt to probe, or was it a fleck of worthless compassion in the heart of this divine doctor?
She could not take that risk.
Chu Nanli immediately stood up, even taking a couple of steps back.
“No need, I wouldn’t want to trouble Divine Doctor Bai.”
Upon hearing her response, Bai Wuheng paused, chuckled at his meddling, and without another word, turned to leave.
Chu Nanli watched him disappear at the courtyard gate before she finally breathed a sigh of relief, yet her heart felt heavy.
With Bai Wuheng in the residence, it wasn’t just a matter of leaving the War God Residence before showing signs of pregnancy. If she started showing signs of morning sickness soon, it would likely be impossible to keep it hidden.
She needed to leave the War God Residence as soon as possible, so making money was of the utmost urgency.
…
The next day, Chu Nanli received some good news.
The fetus in the Breeding Box had a healthy heartbeat!
“My precious little one, you truly have come back to life.”
Chu Nanli immediately took out the medicine she had sorted the day before, divided it into two parts, measured it accordingly, and started brewing one part. While waiting, she took the opportunity to plant the other part in a vacant spot in the space.
When she had bought them, there were not only dry herbs processed through sun-drying but also many that could be used as seeds, and some were fresh plants. The space had a preservation function, so keeping them for a few days was not a problem.
After busying herself for half an hour and looking at the green plants before her, Chu Nanli felt extremely relieved.
Indeed, for a doctor, herbs are emotional healers.
However, these were still too few, and she had to instruct Chu Yi to continue purchasing more.
When Chu Nanli left the space, she also took with her the list of medicines she had written the day before.
“Princess Consort.” Just as she stepped outside, she heard Yanyan calling from outside.
“What is it?”
Yanyan then came in and said, “There is someone named Chu Yi looking for you.”
Chu Nanli’s eyes lit up.
Speaking of the devil, and he shall appear.
“In the courtyard?”
“Yes.”
“Let him come in.”
Just as he entered the main hall, Chu Yi came in as well.
“My lord, these are the herbs and clothes Xinlian picked for you.”
Yanyan looked at him in surprise, clearly writing her thoughts on her face.
Did the Princess Consort hire others to work outside?
The Princess Consort really is both intelligent and formidable! She knows that those wavering servants in the residence can’t be trusted!
Chu Nanli inspected the herbs once and confirmed they were correct, smiling in praise, “Well done.”
She then took out the list of herbs and handed it over.
“I must trouble you to gather more for me.”
Chu Yi hurriedly replied, “My lord is too polite, this is just part of my duty.”
Chu Nanli then opened the clothes and checked them. There were seven outfits in total, not only were the styles to her liking, but she also had two sets of men’s clothes prepared, which was perfect.
Chu Nanli’s pleasure was evident on her face, and Chu Yi’s expression softened somewhat, then he added, “My lord, Xinlian’s shop has opened, would you like to have a look?”
“So soon?”
Chu Nanli was genuinely surprised; it had only been a few days…
Indeed, Xinlian was talented, with both insight and the ability to handle matters effectively.
“Let’s go.”
Chu Nanli asked Yanyan to take the items to the room and discussed the situation with Chu Yi.
After Yanyan came out, she said, “I’ll take you out of the residence for a walk.”
This statement also indirectly treated Yanyan as one of her own.
Yanyan was flattered and blushed, nodding repeatedly, “Thank you, Princess Consort.”
