Because Bai Su had already decided to go to Huainan, she began to pack the things she wanted to bring.

In the past few days, she had already made quite a few bottles of alcohol. She planned to bring it along with her. This kind of strong disinfectant had to be used by the physicians and medicine boys.

She only brought some clothes for changing and a small bag of tea leaves for rinsing her mouth. Everything else was simple.

Of course, this was only what she thought in her heart. Duan Changchuan obviously didn’t think so.

The young man followed behind her and kept instructing Chang Le, “Had the cushions on the carriage ready? Make it thicker so it’s more comfortable to sit on.”

“Have you prepared everything for Empress’ bathing and washing hair items? Also, don’t forget to bring a warm basket for drying hair.”

“There are many mosquitoes in Huainan. Go to the Imperial Hospital and ask for a few scented sachets for the Empress.”

Bai Su went out secretly this time. All the preparations were done by Chang Le alone, not even Yi Man participated.

The little eunuch was being ordered around. Before he could complete one task, he had already given more than ten tasks …

Bai Su helplessly hugged her precious one, “Why are you preparing so many things? It’s not like I’m going there to enjoy it. Besides, I’m the empress. How can they neglect me when I’m in the temporary imperial residence? The journey will only take a few days. I can just make do with it. There’s no need to fuss. Bringing too many things will only delay the journey.”

The young man who had been walking around the room giving instructions was suddenly hugged and froze in place. His feet still maintained the steps he had just taken, and his head drooped down gloomily.

“I’ll be back in a month and a half, baby.” Bai Su whispered against his ear and comforted him gently.

The young man pursed his lips tightly and didn’t speak …

She sighed softly …

Her gaze brushed past his cheek and saw his fluttering long eyelashes and the tip of his straight and beautiful nose.

Her heart immediately softened. Her fingers gently pinched his soft palm, “How about I make a military oath? If I can’t solve it in a month, I’ll bring my head back, okay?”

As soon as she finished speaking, her foot was suddenly lightly kicked. Like a cat’s claw.

The next moment, the young man turned around. His eyes were as red as a little rabbit’s, “If you can’t solve it, can’t you just come back? Why would I want your head!”

As he spoke, the corners of his lips couldn’t help but curl down …

Her beautiful, black eyes started to well up with tears again.

Alpha, who only realized she had made him sad, hurriedly hugged and coaxed him, “Don’t cry, your husband was just teasing you, don’t take it seriously.”

In the end, not only did the child fail to be coaxed, he even burst into tears. Tears streamed down like pearls.

Oh no, now she had completely made him cry.

Bai Su quickly slapped her own mouth, “Who told you to spout nonsense? If you keep spouting nonsense, I’ll sew your mouth shut!”

It was only a single pat.

The second time, the child grabbed her wrist.

The young man, who had always been soft in front of his Alpha, used his strength without losing any ground … Holding her hand, she felt a slight pain.

Just like that, he held her hand and slowly raised it.

Until … his cool and smooth cheek gently pressed against her curled knuckles.

[Boom …]

A sound of collapse echoed in his mind.

Alpha’s palm was pressed against the young man’s cheek. She was at a loss.

“I just want you to come back …” As he spoke, the young man lowered his eyes and quietly looked at the tips of their intertwined feet.

Even his voice carried a hint of nasal tone.

[He doesn’t want anything …]

[Except for her.]

Bai Su only felt that thousands of words were surging in her heart, but they were all stuck in her throat, unable to utter a single word.

In the end, she could only hug him tightly.

“I will,” she said, “Baby, I’ll be back.”

“… Alright.”

–

The two hugged each other for a long time before letting go.

Bai Su gently kissed the corner of his eyes and said, “Alright, stop crying, baby.”

The young man nodded embarrassedly, “Mm …”

He was very obedient.

Bai Su continued to pack her things. Just then, Chang Le finished his task and knocked on the door, saying, “Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager sent a message. She heard that you have recovered and invited you to Feng Xi Palace for a visit.”

Her Omega who followed behind her like a little tail, was stunned upon hearing this.

He turned his head and asked, “Mother invited me to her palace? Did she pass on anything else?”

“Yes, she said she missed you. Coincidentally some new pastries were sent over, she wants you to taste them together.”

The young man turned around and looked at Bai Su questioningly.

In his eyes, there was a dependence that even he himself wasn’t aware of.

Bai Su smiled and held his hand, “Go and have a look. It’s good to eat and chat with her. When I’m almost done packing, I’ll come and pick you up, okay?”

The young man pursed his lips and said softly, “Okay.”

Alpha patted his head, “Good boy.”

–

Duan Changchuan took Yi Man to the Feng Xi Palace, leaving Chang Le to continue organizing things for Bai Su.

Not long after the young man left, Bai Su called for Chang Le and instructed him, “You finish packing first. When you’re done, go to the Feng Xi Palace to look for His Majesty. Jin’er and I will go to the Imperial Hospital and instruct Imperial Physician Fang on some matters.”

The little eunuch did not suspect anything. He immediately agreed and continued with his task.

So, Bai Su and Nangong Jin’er went to the Imperial Hospital together.

Before entering, Bai Su instructed the maids to wait outside the door and then took Nangong Jin’er into Fang Moyan’s small courtyard.

In the courtyard, everyone was in a mess.

“Hurry, hurry, put the medicine back. Why does the weather change so suddenly?”

“Master, please slow down …”

“Any slower and the medicine will be blown away by the wind! After a while, not only will it be blown away, but it will also be drenched by the rain later!”

“Yes, yes … this disciple will call for help!”

It turned out that they were sun-drying the medicine today. But suddenly the wind rose and the herbs in the courtyard were all affected.

At this time, everyone was busy collecting the medicine. Even the nine-year-old Yusheng holding a basket taller than him, hurriedly ran into the house.

Bai Su reached out and grabbed the floating herbal leaves in front of her, then turned her head and said, “Jin’er, call our people in to help.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

–

With the help of the people from the Ming Sheng Hall, the medicine in the courtyard was quickly collected.

Imperial Physician Huang wiped his hands and stood in front of Bai Su with a smile, “Hehe, thank you for your help, Your Highness. Why did you suddenly come to the Imperial Hospital? Where is Little Majesty? Why didn’t he come with you?”

Bai Su smiled at him and said, “His Majesty went to the Feng Xi Palace. This Empress has nothing to do, so I thought to come and ask Imperial Physician Fang if there is anything to pay attention to regarding His Majesty’s health. So it’s easier to take care of him in the future.”

After saying that, she deliberately looked at the people standing in a row behind her from the corner of her eyes.

Imperial Physician Huang had stayed in the palace for many years and had long been trained to be as astute as a person. With just a glance and a few words from Bai Su, he immediately understood her intention.

He hurriedly made a gesture of invitation and said, “Then come with me over here, and I’ll explain it to you.”

Then he didn’t forget to tell Fang Moyan, “You and Yusheng go and redistribute the herbs. Since the Empress brought so many people. Take advantage of them to get help and finish it before dark.”

In an instant, all the unrelated people were sent away without batting an eyelid.

Bai Su nodded calmly and said, “Thank you for your trouble.”

Then she followed him into the house.

There were no outsiders in the room, so the old troublemaker immediately returned to his original nature. He crossed his legs and asked, “What brings you here? Could it be that Little Majesty has morning sickness? Well, it’s been three months. It’s almost time.”

Bai Su shook her head and walked in front of him. She lifted the teapot and poured a cup of tea with great respect.

“I came because I have an important matter to ask for your help … a very important matter.”

After speaking, she bowed slightly and held the cup with both hands in front of him.

Old Imperial Physician Huang was so scared that his legs fell down.

He hurriedly held her hand, “No, no, no. There’s no need for that. If you have any difficulties, just tell me. No need to scare me like this!”

Bai Su was helpless. She put down the teacup and said, “I’m afraid you won’t agree …”

“Hey, you say it first. This old man has lived in the palace for so many years, and I have some ability to judge people. Although you look a little scheming, you are a good person. If you have any difficulties, just tell me. Are you worried about our Little Majesty? With me here to watch over him, what are you afraid of?”

The woman sat back on the other side of the table and nodded hesitantly, “This time I came to find you are indeed about His Majesty … I believe Imperial Physician Fang has already told you, the child in Her Majesty’s belly is mine. You see. Her Majesty and I belong to the same tribe. In our tribe, women can also impregnate men.”

After she finished speaking, the curious old imperial physician’s eyes immediately lit up.

Bai Su, “…”

She hurriedly added, “It’s inconvenient for me to say more about this.”

The old man’s face immediately fell, “You don’t have to be very specific … Just tell me the principle. Or what is the name of your tribe, and where is it?”

Bai Su pondered for a while … and decided to make up a story.

Anyway, for the people here, the concept of male pregnancy was already bizarre. No matter how strange the story was, it seemed to be reasonable.

Therefore, she calmly said, “Our tribe lives in a secluded place, isolated from the world. We never have any interaction with outsiders, nor do we marry outsiders. We have been living a peaceful life. When I was young, my mother had a high fever one year and dreamed of a lot of things about our tribe. When she woke up, she saw that she and I both had the mark of the tribe from her dream. Only then did she know that it was all true. Before my mother passed away, she wrote a letter and asked an old nanny in the manor to show it to me. She told me all these things.”

The story was like a myth. It was ridiculous and cliché. But it captivated the old physician.

The old man fanatically grabbed her and asked, “And then? How can you be sure Little Majesty is from your tribe? I personally witnessed his birth. The Empress Dowager and the late Emperor don’t have this kind of memory like you described.”

Bai Su, “…”

She almost forgot that her child’s parents were the well-known Emperor and Empress. She couldn’t make up stories like she did.

Adhering to the principle of “if you can’t explain it clearly, pretend to be profound” …

Bai Su vaguely said, “I don’t know much about him. However, our bloodline may be inherited every few generations gap … I guess perhaps His Majesty’s ancestors were like my mother. They were also careless and wandered outside when they were young without knowing it.”

The old imperial physician scratched his head, a little confused, “I see … Then, you said that you all have the mark? Does Little Majesty have it too?”

This topic was pulled thousands of miles away, and finally, it returned to Duan Changchuan.

Alpha breathed a sigh of relief, calmly pulled the topic back, and said, “Yes. The people of our tribe are divided into A and O, just like your men and women. A and O have their own mark. After becoming a couple, the marks will fusion and they will never be separated anymore. Actually, I came to you this time because of this … His Majesty is currently pregnant and will be more fragile than usual. If I leave during this time, it will be hard for him … So when I’m not here, I want to relieve his pain through the traditional method of our tribe.”

Imperial Physician Huang, “Hiss … Your tribe is quite particular … What method are you talking about? Tell me about it.”

Bai Su rolled up her sleeves and stretched out her wrist to him.

Her fingertips pointed to the area where the blue veins popped out, and slowly said, “During the one to two months when I’m away, feed him my blood regularly.”
