Chapter 80 I thank you
Gu Mochen had long since put those painful years behind him. He had once desperately longed to bask in his mother's love, but reality had cruelly disappointed him time and again. Although he couldn't pinpoint the exact toxic components of the mysterious powder, as a healer, his professional knowledge and keen intuition told him it was deadly. How could he possibly feel remorse or linger with someone who had tried to kill him?
At this moment, when he met Ye Qingchen's worried gaze, a warm feeling welled up in his heart. Without hesitation, he stretched out his arms and hugged Ye Qingchen tightly, whispering, "Qingchen, I am truly grateful! I sincerely thank you for everything you have done for me. Thinking back to when I was in Yuncheng, I only had Medicine King Valley and a mountain city to rely on. However, since we started traveling together, you have not only found many loyal servants for me, but also helped me build such a large-scale stronghold. In addition, you have tirelessly helped me earn a huge fortune and open countless shops. Even Old Master Lu and Red Leaf Pavilion are willing to lend a helping hand and become my powerful allies. Now, even my father dotes on us, and Consort Li and her father also favor us greatly. All these achievements are made possible by your silent support and careful assistance. In short, I am so grateful to you!"
Just then, Little Yue'er was quietly curled up in Qingchen's warm embrace, sleeping soundly like a well-behaved and adorable kitten. Her rosy little face looked exceptionally peaceful and serene in her sleep, making one feel a surge of affection for her.
To be honest, Xiaoyue'er has truly had a tragic fate. Losing both parents at a young age and becoming a helpless orphan is undoubtedly heartbreaking. However, as the saying goes, "a loss may turn out to be a blessing in disguise," despite Xiaoyue'er's immense misfortune, she is also extremely fortunate. Because in this world, there are two people who deeply love her—Gu Mochen and Ye Qingchen.
Gu Mochen and Ye Qingchen's care for Xiaoyue'er was meticulous. They not only provided her with material comforts, but more importantly, they offered her endless emotional support and comfort. Under their care, Xiaoyue'er gradually emerged from the shadow of losing her parents and once again blossomed with her own radiant smile.
When they arrived at the Prince's mansion, Ye Qingchen carefully handed the baby Yue'er to Aunt Gu, who came to greet them. Aunt Gu smiled and took the child, gently coaxing, "Little Yue'er, be good, come play with Auntie!" Then she turned and left the courtyard with Yue'er.
After Aunt Gu had walked away, Ye Qingchen took a deep breath, exchanged a smile with Gu Mochen beside him, and the two walked tacitly towards the training ground, ready to continue practicing. After their previous experience, Ye Qingchen and Gu Mochen had gradually become familiar with various martial arts techniques, and learning new martial arts was now much easier for them.
Just recently, Grandpa Lu personally taught the two of them a set of Dog-Beating Stick techniques. This set of techniques was unique and varied, dazzling the eye. However, thanks to their exceptional talent and diligent practice, Ye Qingchen and Gu Mochen quickly mastered its essence. Not only that, Liu Yufeng also generously taught them the unique skill of turning flower petals into darts. With a casual flick of his wrist, petals shot out like hidden weapons, with astonishing power.
Ye Qingchen and Gu Mochen's internal strength improved daily, but they never revealed these abilities to anyone in the palace. After all, a slight misstep in the palace could lead to their deaths. Showing weakness now could lull the bad guys into a false sense of security and save their lives in a critical moment. They cultivated silently, waiting for the right opportunity to make a name for themselves.
After finishing their practice, they both washed up and left the natural hot spring. There wasn't anywhere suitable for a bath now, and the tub wasn't very comfortable. Gu Mochen asked Ye Qingchen, "Would you like to build a hot spring in the courtyard?" Ye Qingchen replied, "This place isn't suitable. There's a place not far from here. I had Uncle Gu look at it; there's a bubbling hot spring there. Uncle Gu has already bought the place and will build a courtyard there in a while, keeping the hot spring. We can go there to bathe from time to time. It'll be good for your health too; you don't even know if you've completely recovered. Also, don't you think I'm a bit amazing? With your intelligence, would you find me scary?"
Gu Mochen gently pulled Ye Qingchen into his arms, letting her sit comfortably on his lap. He gazed into her clear, autumn-water-like eyes and said softly, "Qingchen, you silly girl, in my heart you are like a fairy descended from heaven. To be with you is the greatest fortune of my life. I know you harbor many secrets, but I don't want to delve into them. For me, as long as you are by my side, that is enough. So, please, no matter what happens, never leave me."
After saying this, Gu Mochen sighed softly and continued, "Once I successfully ascend to the supreme throne, I will definitely find a suitable successor. Of course, my only hope is that this new emperor will not be like those who are eyeing me covetously and want to kill me. In that case, I can spend these long years with you in peace, until the end of time." After speaking, he looked at Ye Qingchen with deep affection, as if he wanted to imprint her image deeply in his heart.
Ye Qingchen knew Gu Mochen's hardships, so she gently hugged him and said, "Don't worry, I won't leave you. Your heart is so kind. In this world, I won't find another person as kind as you. I'm willing to achieve great things for you, and I'm also willing to wait for the romantic, eternal days you spoke of."
Then the two fell asleep. These days, Gu Mochen always sleeps holding Ye Qingchen. Ye Qingchen isn't coquettish; she knows Gu Mochen doesn't touch her because she's too young. He's waiting for her coming-of-age ceremony. From a medical perspective, this is beneficial for a girl. Actually, Ye Qingchen wants to be older before having children, but in this ancient era, if Gu Mochen doesn't have children, he's in even greater danger.
Ye Qingchen ran into that mysterious and vast space and began to study acupuncture techniques. Fine threads danced and darted in her hands like nimble little sprites. She could precisely insert the needles into every acupoint from any angle.
She also learned about medicines, including several new varieties, many of which could be considered treasures of the world.
Then she learned about runes. The ancient and mysterious runes exuded a unique charm, attracting her to delve deeper into their mysteries. She carefully studied the meaning and usage of each symbol, and repeatedly practiced the techniques of drawing runes, striving to maximize their power.
After a period of diligent study, Ye Qingchen felt somewhat tired, so she went to the spring in the space and gently scooped up some clear, transparent water to drink. This space water contained magical energy; every time she drank it, she felt a cool and refreshing sensation spread throughout her body, and her fatigue dissipated. However, because she had been drinking this space water for a long time, she herself was unaware of the astonishing changes that were taking place within her.
Since coming into this world, she had been drinking water from her spatial dimension. Unbeknownst to her, her figure had become increasingly graceful, with perfectly proportioned curves; her skin had also grown increasingly delicate and smooth, as silky as silk, with a subtle glow in its whiteness. Now, she truly resembled a fairy descended from heaven, radiating an ethereal aura, seemingly untouched by worldly dust. Every gesture she made was breathtakingly beautiful, captivating all who beheld her.
