I held onto the wall and staggered to the bed. My head was aching as if it was about to explode, and my heart was throbbing and feeling suffocated.

I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to hold on and would collapse. I didn’t dare to have any expectations for the child, nor did I dare to cherish him. Would this child really be fine in my belly?

How can I hide?

I looked at Lin Yuxi who was walking to my bedside and said with a wry smile, "Where can I hide where no one can find me?"

I'm already starting to want to hide.

I don't have many grand ambitions, and I don't have to be the Cold Emperor.

I originally thought that with this status, I would be worthy of Huo Yan, the ruler of the Continental Country, but now I know that my status is still too low.

It's even the kind that Huo Yan can control in minutes.

I don't want him to know that I'm pregnant. I don't know what I'll face. What will happen if Gu Sinian finds out? Although I have a gap and hatred towards Gu Sinian, I don't want him to risk his life for me again, even if it means he will die.

I raised my shaking hands and said to Lin Yuxi, "Or find a way to get this child to leave me."

Just as Huo Yan was determined to leave me, the child should be unimportant.

"No, your body is infertile to begin with. It must be because of the conditioning in the soup that Huo Huahua has been stewing for you that your body got better. Now you want to get rid of the baby again. I don't have Huo Huahua's secret recipe to condition you. Your body can't handle it. You must keep this child no matter what. It's not for the child, but for your body. You are now deficient in both energy and blood. If you get rid of this child, you may even lose your life. Don't joke with your body."

She said as she covered me with the quilt.

The person I hated most in my previous life ended up caring about me by my bedside. Fate is often so ironic. There are too many truths that I cannot see by myself.

I explored step by step, and what I finally got was Lin Yuxi's loyalty, Gu Sinian's guilt, Huo Yan's insignificance, and Fu Sinnan's madness.

She stayed by my bedside, and I slept peacefully. When I woke up and looked out the window, I saw thick smoke coming out of the corridor outside the house.

I slowly got up and stood by the window, where I saw Lin Yuxi boiling medicine for me in a Chinese medicine pot and fanning the fire with a small fan.

Thick smoke billowed, choking her and causing her to cough a few times. Cuicui asked from the side, "Why not take it to the back kitchen, where there are people who can cook the medicine? And what kind of medicine is this? I need to report to Palace Master Si Nian."

Lin Yuxi fanned the cigarette and said, "No need to report, I drank it myself. I caught a cold when I came here last night. I'm not the Cold Emperor, so I won't bother the kitchen. I'm a doctor myself. I'm a doctor in the civilian area and I'm not used to being served."

Cuicui felt that this made sense, so she helped to light the fire and took a pair of chopsticks to stir the Chinese medicine.

Then after it was cooked, Cuicui stared at Lin Yuxi while she drank.

Lin Yuxi pretended to take a sip, looked in my direction and said, "It's too hot, I want to drink it later. Your cold emperor has woken up, why don't you go prepare breakfast?"

Cui Cui looked back at me, then patted her head and said, "I'll get ready now."

Seeing her leave, Lin Yuxi hurriedly brought the medicine over and said, "I made some pregnancy-maintaining medicine this morning. Your blood circulation is not good right now, and you will feel dizzy if you are pregnant. Drink it first."

I took it and took a few sips. Then I heard footsteps in the corridor. I quickly handed the bowl to her, turned around to get a cup of warm water, and took a few sips to cover the taste of Chinese medicine in my mouth.

Then Cuicui came in and saw Lin Yuxi drinking my pregnancy-maintaining medicine and said, "Emperor Han, Yuxi said she had a cold and made the medicine herself. She is really amazing."

I looked at her and said, "If you want to learn, you can learn from her."

Lin Yuxi gave me a painful look and then stretched out her hand to calculate and said, "The tuition for studying with me is very expensive. Don't forget that I love money the most."

Lin Yuxi, who used to love money the most and was the jewel in the Lin family's crown, and who had never suffered hardship, is now the main doctor in the civilian area. She is proficient in surgery and traditional Chinese medicine. She has endured so much hardship to become what she is today.

"Hurry up and drink some breakfast."

I pretended to eat breakfast, and Cuicui didn't doubt it too much, and then said: "Palace Master Si Nian already knows that Yuxi is here, and asked me to ask you whether to arrange for Yuxi to accompany you to Zhouji Country."

I nodded and said, "Yes, Gu Sinian has to stay here to sort out the trivial matters after the war, and it's a good opportunity for Yuxi to come and accompany me, so I have company."

"Palace Master Si Nian also figured it out and asked if it was your idea for Yuxi to come last night. I said yes, and the Palace Master also asked what Yuxi said to you when she came. I said I didn't hear it."

As soon as she finished reporting to me, she saw Gu Sinian walking towards me. He stood at the door and locked his eyes with me: "Everything is ready."

"Have you had breakfast?" I walked up to him with a cup of soy milk. When I handed it to him, I saw that he looked very tired. He must have not slept all night preparing the trip for me, right?

I turned my face away and dared not look at him any more, for I was afraid that I would feel soft-hearted.

I just want to use his guilt to help me keep this kingdom.

"Thank you."

"Why are you being polite? During the days I'm in Intercontinental, you can rename the civilian area to Duokuang. That's where the most mining areas are, so the civilians were used as cheap labor before. This time, let them elect a mine owner and two deputy mine owners. After they develop the mines themselves, half will be handed over to the national treasury, and the other half will be used to pay for the construction of the area and the people's expenses."

When I explained this, Gu Sinian nodded and said, "I thought about it. I have already drafted the document last night. You can take a look."

Just like a formal relationship between superiors and subordinates, Gu Sinian thought of what I was thinking.

"No, just take responsibility. You won't give up on me or betray me. You owe me that."

Before leaving, I said this deliberately to remind Gu Sinian to think about what he had done to me.

Those who plotted against me should live with guilt.

I suddenly look forward to the day when Huo Yan will be like this.

He didn't drink the soy milk in his hand, but put it on the windowsill at the door and said, "Okay, I'll do it right away."

Looking at his back, he looks forbearing, thin, and even lonely.

"You were really cruel to him."

I don't know when Lin Yuxi appeared behind me and whispered.

"Why didn't you say anything when he was plotting against me? They were all cruel to me."

Who would have thought that I don’t want to live like this.

"Then if one day you step on Huo Yan and he crawls under your skirt, will you treat him the same way? Let him stay by your side, even though he can see you but not eat you, and will he still work hard for you?"

I reached out and pinched her face and said, "He was just plotting against me to build his world, but Gu Sinian was plotting against my family and my life. They're different."

If Gu Sinian hadn't designed to send me to the Fu family, nothing would be like this today, and I wouldn't have met them...

I changed into a long coat and wrapped myself tightly because it was also snowing in Continental Country.

Although Gu Sinian has booked the hotel, car and other things, my body can't stand the cold right now. If I catch a cold...

The consequences would be disastrous, but I would fight in my best condition, meet Huo Yan and show him that I didn’t care about his arrogance.

Maybe I did it. It was just his plan, and I didn't want him to succeed.

This time when I went to the Continental Country, I delivered ore on the surface, but actually...

Just as I was thinking about it, Lin Yuxi poked my arm and said, "Drink more soy milk to supplement progesterone."
