Dance Of The Phoenix
99. Hide out

On a clear morning, Gu Yuena walked in Tianlong City with Chu Xin to see a doctor. He could not use the doctor in the palace medical hall because he had to hide this from everyone.

Gu Yuena could have told Bai Youzhe yesterday. But it would definitely hinder Bai Youzhe's journey, so she chose to handle it herself. He must not be impressed spoiled at all times.

Chu Xin was astonished why Gu Yuena had asked him to find a doctor who had no connection with the palace. The average doctor in this place had relationships with various palaces, it was very difficult to look for him.

It was fortunate that Chu Xin remembered the old comrade. Can't be called an old friend either. Only a grandfather had ever saved him once.

He directed Gu Yuena to the place where the grandfathers were. When it arrived, Chu Xin directly brought Gu Yuena to meet the middle-aged man inside the simple, fairly desolate medicinal tavern.

"Xie Lao, Chu Xin brought someone to meet you." Cu Xin called the man who was sitting on the porch of the tavern while sorting out the dried medicinal ingredients.

The old man looked at Chu Xin, then smiled. "Who else did you bring this time? Did your friend who was put to death make trouble again?"

Chu Xin sighed. "Aiya, don't keep bringing it up when I come here. I actually brought someone to talk to you about something important. He's an important man."

"Then let him in."

Chu Xin looked at Gu Yuena with a wide smile. "Come on."

Gu Yuena stepped into the closed medicine shop. There were no workers in this place, which showed that the hard old man called Xie Lao was completely alone.

Unexpectedly, Chu Xin had a personal physician behind Bai Youzhe.

Xie Lao was asked to check on Gu Yuena's health. The middle-aged man immediately obeyed him, what was more after hearing Gu Yuena's background and position in Tianshuang Palace from Chu Xin's whisper. He obviously had to do the job carefully.

However, it was only strange that someone like Gu Yuena did an examination on an unknown doctor and outside the palace medical hall. Even though he was an alchemist, it was still not as great as the people in the medical hall.

Xie Lao checked Gu Yuena's pulse, then identified her for a while. From her pulse, Gu Yuena was perfectly healthy. Although there are some internal injuries that are in the recovery stage, it will still not affect the condition so badly.

One more thing, her pulse was different from most women.

"Is Miss okay?" Chu Xin looked very curious. It's supposed to be okay, right?

Xie Lao smiled. "Miss Gu is fine. Other than the internal injuries that greet the recovery process, there are no problems that can be fatal to his health."

"Good then." Chu Xin heaved a sigh of relief.

Gu Yuena looked the same. Right, huh? Gu Yueli was just a pretentious woman who misdiagnosed.

"But .. It looks like Miss must ensure the condition of the body well for some time to come."

"Isn't that certain? Miss has an old injury." Chu Xin responded lightly.

"Not that." Xie Lao looked at Chu Xin resentfully, then turned to look at Gu Yuena. "Miss not only carries itself, but also a small life in it. If Your Majesty finds out, he will definitely be very happy."

Chu Xin's smile froze. While Gu Yuena fell silent without being able to say anything.

What does it mean ....

"Aren't you wrong?" Chu Xin looked so shocked that she just grabbed it with words.

"So far, my diagnosis has never been wrong. It seemed like this was so shocking, it was commonly experienced by young women. You'll get used to it."

Chu Xin looked towards Gu Yuena who was speechless with shock. Is she pregnant? This will be big news in the palace!

"No—"

"This matter, I hope you've never heard of it or known it." Gu Yuena slightly smiled to show her sincerity, then moved away from the seat.

"Miss, you want to hide it?" Chu Xin seemed to disagree. Wouldn't this way, no one would dare to oppose Gu Yuena in the palace?

"Xie Lao, you understand what I'm saying." Gu Yuena looked at the old man meaningfully, ignoring the protesting Chu Xin.

"The patient's problem, this old one never spreads it. Miss Gu take it easy." Xie Lao did not want to think much about the lives of nobles or other great people.

"Goodoo. Chu Xin will pay for your services. Thanks in advance."

"Miss need not be confused. Just a little checking, no big deal."

"Then I leave. Sorry to interrupt."

Gu Yuena left. Chu Xin still wanted to lodge a protest and ran after him. Along the way Gu Yuena did not say anything, it made Chu Xin curious to death.

"Miss, do I need to tell His Majesty?" Chu Xin asked carefully.

"This thing, enough we both know." Gu Yuena turned her head to look at Chu Xin. "Don't make me repeat my words."

Chu Xin smiled wryly. "But—"

"If Youzhe finds out, he'll step down for longer. Let it go."

"However, Miss can't hide it from the people of the palace. In the end, they'll know."

"Not going to." Right now what Gu Yuena was worried about was not the people of the palace, but rather the Ye Clan. Gu Yueli must have told Ye Suanwu about this.

Hah, he should have just killed that woman in the first place.

Is it still possible?

"Chu Xin, has Gu Yueli left yet?" ask Gu Yuena.

Chu Xin nodded once. "Yes. She left early in the morning as she wanted. It seems like it's quite far, considering he's gone using a flying monster."

"Can you guys go after him?"

Chu Xin looked serious. "Miss can give orders at any time."

"I want to make sure that he doesn't divulge it to the Ye Clan. You can do anything, except kill him."

Gu Yueli knew too much. But he could not die that easily let alone in the hands of the Assassin Guild. Gu Yuena alone had to kill him.

Since the other party had given a warning, Gu Yuena would spare his life. However, for the advice that Gu Yueli had given earlier ....

"I will soon send men to seek his existence. Miss take it easy, we'll finish it clean." Chu Xin directly sent a message to his comrades to search for Gu Yueli through long-distance voice transmission communication.

All the guild members were connected, so they could message from afar without having to switch places. That was the ability Bai Youzhe had given them.

"Now, Miss must return to the palace. I'll have Xie Lao make some herbal medicine for Miss."

Gu Yuena did not answer. He continued on without saying a word, immersed in his own thoughts while returning to the palace.

Upon returning to the palace, Gu Yuena walked into the room and locked the door with a long sigh.

It's heavy today. There was no fighting or debate, but it was exhausting.

Gu Yueli's matter will be resolved well. However, he still had to think about what he should do in the future. He could not go to Linghun Palace at this time.

Gu Yuena's feeling was heavy. It had never been thought that he would experience something like this. In his stomach .. there is another life growing. Gu Yuena felt heavy to bear it.

It was not that Gu Yuena did not like it or did not want to accept, but the problems that had occurred lately were so complicated that it was not good for her to carry another bigger burden.

The leader of the Linghun Hall is still there, the phoenix mission that the Queen of Linghun Palace said has not been completed. Then, the war that would happen in the future, did not allow him to retreat even if only temporarily. Not to mention the efforts of the Queen of Linghun Palace to bring her husband to life, it would not be as simple as she thought.

"Huh, I'm going crazy!" Gu Yuena dropped her body onto the bed, feeling frustrated.

He recalled Gu Yueli's words.

Did he just throw it out?

If it had to wait 9 months to be born, then Tianshuang Palace would definitely know about it. I don't know how many spies there are in Tianshuang Palace. If this were to be heard to Linghun Palace, it would bring even greater trouble.

As Gu Yueli had said, the Ye Clan would not allow the Bai Family to have a successor. So it was certain that Linghun Palace was involved in it and would use various means to hunt it down.

Errata, not hunting him, but his son. His son would be such a big and visible weakness.

Bai Youzhe was not around, whereas Gu Yuena was extremely vulnerable under these circumstances. Fighting is like challenging a life. Moreover...The enemy force is stronger than him.

Gu Yueli's words were indeed not without basis. Although she was a bit annoying, the woman was actually good at assessing the situation after all these years of being where the sneaky people were. That was why, he had Gu Yuena abort her womb so that no greater trouble would occur.

But, what by aborting it then the problem will be solved?

Gu Yuena touched the belly of her queen with a complicated feeling. It seems he has no other choice. "I have to be more cruel. I'm sorry."

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Chu Xin received a piece of paper from Gu Yuena as an order to buy. His forehead creased as he read it. "This ... digestive transmitter?"

"Don't ask too many questions." Gu Yuena leaned back, then closed her eyes to calm her mind a little.

Chu Xin did not know what Gu Yuena wanted to do. Isn't Gu Yuena okay? Even she refused to take any fetal-boosting drugs from Xie Lao.

Gu Yuena peeked at Chu Xin who went to finish the task. He also breathed. In his previous life, he had wrestled with all sorts of poisons. The drug he wrote is indeed a digestive emitting drug, but there is an effect when combined with other ingredients will produce toxins that can make diarrhea while aborting the content.

He used it once for his subordinates who made mistakes until diarrhea for days. It was unexpected that he would use it for himself. Not for days of diarrhea, but aborting the contents.

"Do you think this should?" Gu Yuena was still filled with doubt.

He did not know how Bai Youzhe would react if he found out.

After some time, Chu Xin had bought the required medicinal ingredients and had been processed by the waiter according to the provisions of the pharmacist. The cup containing the digestive emitting medicine was already in sight, but Gu Yuena only looked in silence.

He looked at the cup as if he was doing research through the eyes. Does he really have to drink it?

This was the first time Gu Yuena drank her own concoction poison. Does it taste sweet? Or bitter?

Gu Yuena hates bitter. But as he remembered his annoying subordinate once said that this homemade poison has a sweet taste when mixed with sugar. Since there was no sugar here, Gu Yuena had replaced it with honey.

But ... he wasn't sure it wouldn't make him vomit.

Gu Yuena took it. There was no scent in the liquid inside the cup, which was indeed the hallmark of Gu Yuena's concoction poison. But it does not rule out the possibility that it tastes bitter.

Between fear of bitter taste or not having the heart to abort her own child who was still in the womb, Gu Yuena was really hesitant to just look at the cup blankly.

"Nana, you have to be sure ...." Gu Yuena convinced herself and brought the cup closer to her mouth.

When the water in the cup entered the mouth, its tongue burned at that moment and a tremendous bitter taste spread. Not only that, there was a strange scent within the medicinal water that was truly nauseating.

Spontaneous Gu Yuena spewed out all the medicinal water in her mouth that had yet to be swallowed. His stomach felt uncomfortable nausea

"Fucking harley." Gu Yuena cursed that feminine man who dared to lie. How dare you say that the poison is so sweet, even though the poison is as bitter as a mosquito repellent!

Even the taste of perfume is better even though it is equally bitter.

Plus, how can there be a scent? Gu Yuena wasn't sure it really came from her own poison ingredients. Someone must have mixed it with the opposite ingredient and caused a sickening aroma when it entered the mouth.

Due to the constant nausea, Gu Yuena immediately ran to fetch water. The new Chu Xin instantly fell silent when she saw Gu Yuena in the fog grabbing water and downing it straight from the teapot.

Was it really Gu Yuena whom he had known all along?

"Miss, what's going on?" Chu Xin immediately approached in worry. If she is pregnant, nothing should happen to both.

Gu Yuena put down the teapot back, then said in a depressed tone of voice. "Bring me something sweet!"

"What?"

"Don't forget to bring me tea or milk or drinks that can relieve the bitter taste. Hurry along!"

Chu Xin who knew nothing immediately obeyed Gu Yuena's words in haste.

Seeing Chu Xin leave in a hurry, Gu Yuena dropped down onto the seat and leaned back limp. It was really sickening, she was traumatized by her own poison.

Is this karma?

Or ... He really can't abort his content?

"What kind of thought is that?" Gu Yuena muttered in annoyance.

Shortly after, Chu Xin came in a hurry to bring a tray of food and drinks for Gu Yuena. He immediately placed it on the table, whereas Gu Yuena only took a drink of it to remove the bitter taste.

"Is the medicine very bitter? Strange, though I'm pretty sure it's been mixed with honey." Chu Xin sighed.

It was not honey that failed to change the taste of the medicine, but it was indeed an outrageously bitter medicine. Merely, Gu Yuena was still curious how to leave behind such a sickening scent. He never got that report.

"What when manufacturing, is there someone else who intervenes?" ask Gu Yuena.

"Of course not." Chu Xin immediately denied. He thought for a moment, then remembered something. "There was someone else before. When I came to the kitchen, I saw one of the servants Ming Chin was there leaving in a hurry. But I've made sure that the cure is directly safe."

Gu Yuena pulled her eyebrows. Apparently, there was someone else's meddling that foiled his plan. The poison has failed. He didn't know whether to thank or be angry at that person.

"But thank God Miss is fine. Definitely Ming Chin is planning something to hurt Miss in the back. We need to be vigilant."

Gu Yuena nodded once. "Leave it."

"What?"

"I want to see all of his abilities as an alchemist, what can compare to a little witch like me." Plus, Gu Yuena was looking for an excuse directly to kill the woman.

Just the smuggled poison was not enough, as there was no evidence to point to the woman. He still wants to play for a while.

But for now, he had to think about what to do next.

"Miss, Su Churan will be here any minute. Are you still going to hide it?" Chu Xin was still hesitant to hide it or not. This matter was a huge matter of the Tianshuang Palace and the Bai Family.

"Why did he come?"

"Could it be because of Jin Xiao(?)"

Gu Yuena let out a heavy sigh. It would be difficult to hide something from Su Churan, since the woman had the ability of a blood butterfly that could track down the slightest life.

His explosive attitude would not be good if he wanted to keep it a secret.

Gu Yuena had to hide from Su Churan.
