Gu Ci believed her and drank the potion without saying a word.
As soon as the potion entered his mouth, he felt warm all over, as if a power was awakening deep in his body. This was a feeling he had never felt since his rebirth, and the cold shackles before seemed to disappear instantly.
Cheng Lu kept looking at him nervously.
Although she was very confident in her pharmaceutical ability, the man in front of her was the man she cared about the most. How could she turn a blind eye? Even if she knew everything was safe, she would have nothing to worry about.
"How is it?" she asked impatiently.
"Well, it's very comfortable. I feel...much better."
Cheng Lu used his strength to penetrate into his body and found that Gu Ci was not lying. The sealed sick energy began to shrink and fade.
Sure enough, it was just as she thought! She finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's great... As long as you take it according to the course of treatment, you will get better and better." She held his hands tightly, and the little stars in her eyes almost jumped out of joy.
"Well, don't worry." He gently rubbed her forehead.
Cheng Lu was so happy that he immediately turned back to the research room: "Wait for me for a while, and I will prepare some medicinal materials to make this potion taste better. You like it sweeter, right? How about the hawthorn flavor?"
Her voice became farther and farther away, and Gu Ci stared at her back with gentle eyes.
It wasn't until she walked into the research room that he suppressed the warmth and turned to look downstairs.
In the garden downstairs, a figure has been standing under the big tree for a long time.
After a while, the figure left, and after a while, someone appeared next to Gu Ci.
"You couldn't help but show up after all. Doesn't it feel good to hide in the dark all this time?" Gu Ci asked.
The man got closer and closer, and did not stop until he stood side by side with Gu Ci. His brows were cold, and the smile of the past was no longer on his face: "You chose it yourself, there is nothing wrong with it."
He paused, "When did you find out it was me?"
Gu Ci chuckled: "I knew it from the moment you came back. Mu Cang, you are very powerful. You are the most powerful person I have ever seen. But it is a pity that you met me.
.”
Mu Cang raised his eyebrows slightly: "I lost. You knew it from the beginning, and you still kept it secret and acted with me. Does she know that you have such a scheming plan?"
"It's not a bad thing to have plans for the city, let alone deal with you."
Mu Cang sighed: "It makes sense, but I can't refute it."
There was a long silence between the two before Mu Cang said, "I'm ready to leave."
"You have done so many things and you still want to leave well. Isn't it too good of a thought?" Gu Ci sneered.
"Then call the police and arrest me. Anyway, I have done more than that. At first, I just wanted to replace your position in Sichuan City. Later, I found that Xiaolu was more challenging and more interesting than you."
Mu Cang seemed to not want to let go, "But it's a pity. I planted a clue in his house from the beginning. If you didn't know, forget it. Now that you know, there is no hope for her and me..."
"There was no hope from the beginning, everything was your delusion." Gu Ci's tone was decisive.
"That's not necessarily the case." Mu Cang looked at him sideways, "I have had this feeling before. It seems that you know all the plans and arrangements I make in advance. It seems that you already knew that I would do this.
.Gu Ci, sometimes I even wonder if you are...not a human being."
Gu Ci's face was like jade and as calm as water.
He paused: "What do you think this is? The loser actually engages in verbal and personal attacks?"
"No." Mu Cang glanced at his watch, "It's time for me to leave."
Gu Ci: "You can't leave."
"I can leave whenever I want, you have nothing to do with me."
Gu Ci turned around and looked at him deeply: "You can't leave. The woman who loved you has passed away. She left you a big gift."
Mu Cang waved his hand, leaving only Gu Ci's back.
Later, a long time later, Gu Ci remembered this scene and was shocked to realize that it was the last time he saw Mu Cang.
The following days were dull and warm. Cheng Lu was busy every day. She wanted to solve Gu Ci's problems before the child was born. After several improvements, the properties and taste of the medicine became more stable.
Half a month before she was due to give birth, all the illness in Gu Ci's body was cleared.
Cheng Lu breathed a sigh of relief: "Great, I finally made it."
"What can be done in time?" He frowned slightly and looked at the beads of sweat on her forehead, feeling distressed for a while, "Even if I can't recover in time before you give birth, I won't die in a while. Why are you working so hard?"
Cheng Lu covered his lips with a serious look on his face: "Don't talk nonsense, what about life and death? Bah, bah, bah, shut up!"
Gu Ci:......
The closer the crisis came, the more nervous the little woman became. Now that the crisis was finally over, a relaxed and comfortable smile finally appeared on her face.
The next second, she laughed: "The Yaolu has opened, and now Zhu Chun is watching over there for me. She may have done it. I didn't expect that I would get such a good reward for saving her.
"
Zhu Chun had nowhere to go. By following Cheng Lu, he could not only solve the problem of food, clothing and accommodation, but also learn the medicines that he was very interested in. Now he also had a legitimate career - serving as the temporary person in charge of the medicine house.
Looking at her sweet smile, Gu Ci rubbed her hair: "The baby is about to be born, have you forgotten something important?"
She was stunned for a few seconds: "What's the matter?"
Gu Ci felt depressed for a while. This little woman cared about him very much and put his safety first.
But there are some things that he cares about.
For example, remarriage.
Cheng Lu finally didn't hesitate for too long. He had a flash of inspiration and reacted: "Ah, let's go now?"
"Of course I want to go, idiot." He couldn't help but pinch her cheek gently.
Two hours later, the two of them came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau with the marriage certificate they had just obtained.
She looked at the brand new red book and felt that she was dreaming: "I really got remarried..."
"Aren't you happy yet?" Gu Ci snorted softly.
"How is that possible? I'm just...a little emotional." She took his arm and leaned on his shoulder, "I'm really remarried. Now I just have a wedding. This is what you promised me."
Gu Ci tapped the tip of her nose: "Definitely."
Sitting in the car, Cheng Lu suddenly felt someone looking at her from behind. She turned around subconsciously, but the street scene was quiet, as usual. She shook her head and laughed at herself for thinking too much.
Three weeks later, Cheng Lu gave birth safely in the hospital.
That day, the entire Sichuan City was immersed in a sea of joy.
King Gu Yan was delighted to receive Lin'er and gave benefits to everyone in Sichuan City.
A year later, another grand wedding was held.
At the wedding scene, Gu Ci held her son, who had just turned one year old, and walked on the red carpet with her beloved. Surrounded by a sea of flowers, they looked at each other and smiled softly.
