TGFH Chapter 14: On the Road Back to Beijing...

　　"Are you sure?"

　　It was still the same city guard's mansion, and the same room. This time, in addition to Bai Yi and Feng Jing, Xiao Mo, Yun Mozhi, and even Yun Qingran were all there. Hearing that Bai Yi was going to Shengjing, Yun Mozhi was the first to ask, with the same nonchalant but somewhat unexpected tone.

　　"Yeah." Bai Yi still smiled gently and nodded.

　　"Ayi, come with us! Ah Mo and I will protect him, so don't worry, Young Master Yun!" Feng Jing was the happiest person. He got along best with Bai Yi among the few people. He thought that he would be separated from Bai Yi temporarily when he returned to Beijing with Xiao Mo this time, and he was quite reluctant to let him go. Now that Bai Yi was going back with them, it was naturally the best thing.

　　"What do you know?" Yun Mozhi glanced at Feng Jing, straightened his body and said, "Well... did you notice?"

　　"Yeah, I just found out."

　　"Since you know this, why are you still going? Shengjing is in a mess right now. Wouldn't it be better for you to stay in Yunxia and wait for Xiao Mu to come pick you up after he's done with it?"

　　"I think after he knows, he will want to see..." Bai Yi smiled gently. When he knew that he was pregnant, he wanted to tell Xiao Yiran as soon as possible, but unfortunately he was not around. The separation these days made him miss him even more, so he will go to Shengjing not only to tell Xiao Yiran the good news, but also to stay by his side and never leave.

　　Yun Mozhi stared at Bai Yi seriously for a long time before returning to his nonchalant look. "Since you have made up your mind, I have nothing to say. You know your own situation well, so just be careful on the road."

　　"I know. Thank you."

　　"What are you talking about?" Feng Jing couldn't help but ask as he became more and more confused as he listened to the conversation between Bai Yi and Yun Mozhi.

　　Yun Mozhi stretched lazily, and nestled back into Le Shan's arms, complaining about Feng Jing, "Stupid~ Your general is going to be a father."

　　"ah?!"

　　After Yun Mozhi said this, Feng Jing opened his mouth and looked at Bai Yi in a daze, Xiao Mo raised his eyebrows but said nothing, and Yun Qingran looked at Bai Yi without changing her expression.

　　"What? You guys took good care of him along the way!" After tapping Feng Jing's head, Yun Mozhi signaled him to shut up. He then looked at Bai Yi and said, "I've prepared some pregnancy-protecting medicine for you. Take it with you and take it on time."

        After handing the medicine to Bai Yi, Yun Mozhi did not try to persuade him to stay and left with Le Shan. He had already confirmed that Bai Yi was pregnant, so there was nothing to be surprised about. Moreover, he had already prepared the medicine to maintain pregnancy, and he probably guessed that Bai Yi knew that this day would come.

　　"It's getting late today, get ready tomorrow before leaving." After Yun Mozhi left, Yun Qingran also spoke to Xiao Mo in a light voice, then nodded to Bai Yi and left. She had the ability to remain calm in the face of any change, so this kind of thing was nothing in her eyes.

　　Although Xiao Mo was a little surprised about Bai Yi's pregnancy, he quickly accepted it. After all, the Xiao family members were very receptive. Since they were the wife and child of their general, they naturally had to take good care of them. "Don't worry, I will prepare for the departure tomorrow. Madam, take a good rest." After saying that, he also went out to prepare.

　　All of a sudden, the only people left in the room were the still smiling monk Bai Yi and Feng Jing who was still in shock.

　　"I'm sorry to trouble you, Xiao Jing." Bai Yi smiled and said softly to Feng Jing who was still in shock.

　　Feng Jing came back to his senses immediately after hearing the voice. He stared at Bai Yi for a long time before he managed to utter, "Ayi, so you have slept with the general?..."

　　Bai Yi was stunned. He didn't expect Feng Jing to say that. His face turned slightly red and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

　　"Uh... ahem! That's not what I meant... Don't misunderstand me!" As if realizing that he had asked a stupid question, Feng Jing immediately waved his hand and shook his head, "Oh, what I meant is that we don't mind the trouble at all, really, don't worry!! This is the general's child, we can't wait to be happy... Oh, I... I'll go help Ah Mo pack and prepare!" After speaking in a confused manner, Feng Jing ran away, muttering to himself, "How come Ah Mo is even more stupid than the general..."

　　Looking at Feng Jing's leaving back, Bai Yi smiled softly.

　　…

　　Xiao Mo's efficiency was still very fast, and everything was ready the next morning. Yun Qingran personally sent the three of them to the city gate, and Yun Mozhi also followed for the first time.

　　Bai Yi was a doctor himself, so he knew everything he needed to know. There was no need to say anything, so Yun Mozhi directly grabbed Xiao Mo and gave him instructions, "Xiao Bai was injured before and he was traveling a long way, so he didn't recover well. You must make him take the pregnancy-preserving medicine I gave him on time. Be careful on the road, try to stay in an inn, and rest well before leaving. I have asked Qingran to send a message to Mu Tou, saying that you should go back later and there is no need to rush."

　　Xiao Mo nodded and agreed to everything.

　　After Yun Mozhi finished his instructions, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to Bai Yi, "The one I gave you yesterday was a pregnancy-maintaining medicine, and this bottle today is a pregnancy-preserving medicine. If there are any special circumstances, take it again. It's best not to use it."

　　Bai Yi took the porcelain bottle and put it away carefully, then replied with a smile, "I hope I don't have to use it either. Thanks."

　　After giving some final instructions, Yun Mozhi leaned into Le Shan's arms and rubbed his chest vigorously, saying in a tender voice, "Okay, it's time for us to go back, Le Shan, let's go."

　　As soon as Yun Mozhi finished speaking, Le Shan held Yun Mozhi and used his lightness skills to go straight back to the mansion. Yun Qingran turned around indifferently and walked slowly back to the inner city.

　　Bai Yi and Feng Jing supported each other as they stepped onto the carriage. Xiao Mo clasped his fists towards the backs of the three people from the inner city, then drove the carriage away slowly.

　　…

　　From Yunxia to Shengjing, at a marching speed, it would take about ten days to arrive. If they rode faster, they would arrive within five days. Of course, because of concerns about Bai Yi's health, Xiao Mo and Feng Jing, who were originally planning to rush back to Shengjing, could only drive slowly. It was estimated that it would take about half a month to reach Shengjing.

　　However, after leaving Yunxia, ​​Bai Yi's morning sickness symptoms became more and more obvious. He often vomited early in the morning. Sometimes, he would vomit again when the carriage was slightly bumpy, which made his appetite even worse. He couldn't eat anything at all, and lost a lot of weight in a few days.

　　This frightened Feng Jing, who kept following Bai Yi around all day, worried that something might happen. Xiao Mo was also worried about this, and asked Bai Yi several times whether he needed to return to Yunxia.

　　Bai Yi understood that it was just a normal reaction. Generally speaking, it was nothing. Although it looked serious, it actually had little impact. In addition, Yun Mozhi gave her a lot of pregnancy-preserving medicine. He took it on time every day, and his body was indeed fine. He was a doctor, and although he had not studied this matter specifically, he had some understanding of it.

　　When a man is pregnant, his pulse is not obvious. Generally, it will be obvious after two months. After that, the symptoms of pregnancy will be more obvious than those of women. However, since men are stronger than women, the early pregnancy is relatively easy for men; but because men are not as flexible as women, they have a much harder time than women in the later pregnancy, especially during childbirth, which is much more difficult and dangerous than women. Therefore, many husbands take concubines to continue the family line.

　　Bai Yi had not prepared for this child, but now he is very happy about the arrival of this child. No matter how hard it will be in the future, he is willing to endure it for this new life.

　　Although he had never thought about getting pregnant and having a child before, he was willing to do it now for Xiao Yiran, just because that person made him feel the happiness he had not felt for a long time since his father passed away, the kind of happiness that comes from having his loved ones by his side.

　　Touching his still flat abdomen, Bai Yi smiled gently.

　　He might be a little willful. Whether it was for the child or himself, the best solution at the moment was to stay in Yunxia to take care of the baby. But he just wanted to see that person, wanted to share the news with him, wanted him to feel the existence of the child, and also wanted to... integrate into his world.

　　Although he couldn't help Xiao Yiran, and maybe this trip would bring some trouble to Xiao Yiran, he still wanted to go. He had thought a lot these days. Xiao Yiran's world was too far away and too unfamiliar to him. If he kept waiting there, he was worried that Xiao Yiran would go further and further away, so far that they would no longer have any intersection.

        Maybe, maybe he will never be able to walk side by side with Xiao Yiran in this life, but at least he hopes to follow Xiao Yiran. Even if it takes a lot of effort to chase him, he doesn't want to be left alone. As long as the other party is willing to wait for him, he will never let go.
