In Huining, winter begins in October, and Yun Jiao has calculated her due date to be at the end of October, which is fast approaching.
Even though she was about to give birth, Yun Jiao went to the apothecary that day by carriage.
The weather was a bit cold, but it hadn't snowed yet. Yun Jiao, wearing a cloak, was helped down from the carriage by Yang Ying.
The twelve guards that accompanied them quickly secured the front and back entrances of the apothecary.
Inside the apothecary, someone was gathering herbs. As Yun Jiao entered, her father greeted her, "Be careful, sit down quickly."
Gu Chuan brought a chair for Yun Jiao to sit down, and then Gu Yuheng gave her a knowing look.
Yun Jiao followed her father's gaze and saw a man fetching herbs, with his profile facing her, leaning against the counter, seemingly bored and gazing outside.
Yun Jiao almost screamed when she recognized the man's profile—it was Du Ruo!
