"H—Huang Shu, something feels strange."

"Hm? What happened? Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?" Huang Shu asked. He got worried immediately, knowing that Yunyu was in a fragile state right now.

"Yes, something feels strange… in my belly…" Yunyu said there was a pain that continuously built up in his stomach. He tried to get up, but his leg suddenly lost its strength, and he staggered.

Huang Shu hurriedly propped his wife and asked, "Yunyu, are you alright? I—I will call the imperial physician."

"I… I am alright—ACK!" Yunyu's eyes widened as he felt a sharp and sudden pain in his stomach as if his stomach had been stabbed with a sharp knife.

Yunyu lost his strength immediately and fell on Huang Shu's embrace.

"Yunyu? Yunyu?! What happened to you!" Huang Shu carried Yunyu to the bed immediately. He saw his wife was sweating cold sweat with his face paled terrifyingly quick.

Yunyu felt the pain in his stomach was so unbearable that he might've died anytime soon.

Huang Shu gritted his teeth, and he rushed to the door, "GO CALL THE IMPERIAL PHYSICIAN NOW!"

He yelled at the guards outside.

Yunyu felt his gaze was blurry because he was bearing the pain in his stomach. Like thousands of knives that kept stabbing his stomach over and over, he couldn't help but cry.

Huang Shu was so distressed with this, he held his wife's hand, "Y—Yunyu, please bear with it a bit, the physician will come soon!"

"Huang, it… hurt… it hurt so much…" Yunyu said while he was pinching Huang Shu's skin until he accidentally clawed it. But Huang Shu didn't care. He kept staring at his wife worriedly.

"GODDAMN THIS, WHERE IS THE PHYSICIAN!?" Huang Shu wanted to find the physician by himself, but Yunyu grabbed his hand tightly.

"Don't go… stay… stay…" Yunyu begged. Huang Shu gritted his teeth, but in the end, he stayed with his wife, holding his hand and wiping Yunyu's sweat on his face.

Yunyu felt something started flowing between his thighs, and the sharp pain became even more apparent. At the same time, he also felt a strong urge to vomiting.

Yunyu turned his body to the side, so Huang Shu wouldn't see his disgraceful appearance, and he vomited everything. At the same time, he felt something kept flowing on his inner thighs.

It took a moment for Huang Shu to realized what just happened, especially when he saw the red color stain on Yunyu's robe. He grabbed Yunyu's shoulder to check on him and saw that Yunyu had vomited everything out.

"Yunyu? Yunyu, stay with me! Wake up! Yunyu!"

Bai Yunyu could hear the voice of his beloved husband, but he couldn't open his eyes anymore. His strength had been drained, and the pain in his stomach was too much for him to bear.

The last thing he heard was the sound of Larva that had a notification, though he still didn't know what Larva was saying.

[Larva: Alert! Breakmeter decreases to -50%.]

[Larva: A hidden plot has been unlocked, Pregnant Ger!]

…

"Yunyu! Yunyu!" Huang Shu kept calling his wife. He checked on Yunyu's breathe. He was a bit relieved because Yunyu was still alive. But his breath was weak.

And the worst thing happened right in front of Huang Shu's eyes. He saw the bright red cinnabar mole between Yunyu's eyebrows gradually thinning and then vanished.

Huang Shu's heart dropped when he saw this. Because it reminded him of what happened to Yunyu back then.

But back then, he vaguely realized that Yunyu had his cinnabar mole gradually dissipated until it vanished completely, but this time, it just disappeared as if it was never there.

As if everything took an immediate effect.

"Yunyu…"

The imperial physician came shortly after. He saw the Emperor was kneeling at the side of the bed, gently wiping the cold sweat on his wife's forehead. When he saw the Imperial Physician, he glared for a moment. He was so angry that he wanted to kill this Imperial Physician.

But there was no use in killing him right now because he was the only one that could help his beloved.

"Go check on my wife," Huang Shu said.

The Imperial Physician was shocked by the current condition of Master Bai Yunyu. He was unconscious after vomiting, with a pale face and cold sweat drenching his body.

There was an obvious red stain of blood in his inner robe that was visible for him to see.

The Imperial Physician had a bad feeling about this. He checked on Master Bai Yunyu's forehead first and sensed that his body was in a sudden high fever. And the cinnabar mole disappeared from in-between Yunyu's brows.

Which was already a terrible sign.

Then he checked the pulse on the wrist, and lastly, Imperial Physician checked on Master Bai Yunyu's stomach. His heart also dropped when he sensed something was off.

There was no lump on Yunyu's belly. Well, there was a lump, but the size had been greatly reduced. Imperial Physician checked on Master Bai a few days ago, and the lump just disappeared now.

He carefully checked the blood on Yuyu's thigh. When he finally realized what just happened, he suddenly slumped on the floor and kowtowed towards Emperor Xianliang.

" Please Forgive this physician, Your Majesty!"

Huang Shu's heart chilled when he heard this. This physician was the best one in the nation. He always knew how to treat people, but for him to suddenly kowtow in front of Huang Shu meant it was inevitable.

"What happened to my wife?" Huang Shu asked weakly.

"It seems that Master Bai Yunyu… has been poisoned, but this poison must've been used in a very high dose because I know this poison, Your Majesty."

"Poison?! T—Then, find the antidote now, go!" Huang Shu commanded, but the Imperial Physician could only deepen his kowtow.

"Pardon this one, but this kind of poisoning has no antidote because it's an immediate effect in high dose…."

…

"This is from a leaf, called Buyun leaf, it looks similar to tea leaves, but it's dangerous to be consumed because it was proven to lower infertility rate, even at a small dose, and it's lethal if consumed at a high dose to a pregnant ger man or woman."

"But to have this immediate effect… Your Majesty, may this one knows whether Master Bai had consumed something this evening?"

Huang Shu darted his eyes at the tea and moon cake on the table, then he replied weakly.

The Imperial physician checked the moon cake and the tea. He ate the moon cake and found nothing wrong. But when he sipped the tea, he smelled another faint fragrance other than tea leaves, and also it tasted a bit sour.

And in a matter of seconds, the Imperial physician could feel that his body started to get tense, and he felt nauseous.

He then kowtowed again in front of Emperor Xianliang. He took a deep breath to brace himself and uttered his deduction.

"Your Majesty, Master Bai Yunyu… has been poisoned by a high dose of buyun leaves from that teapot."

"The teapot?!" Huang Shu still remembered that he was the one who helped Yunyu to drink tea. His leg felt weak, with the remaining strength that he had, he asked the physician.

"Then how about my wife?"

"Master Bai Yunyu needs to be cleaned and needs some rest. He is fine, but… the baby isn't…"

"Master Bai had a miscarriage just now, Your Majesty. And the cinnabar mole in his forehead had disappeared, due to the side effect of high dose of Buyun leaves…"

"Master Bai… is infertile."
