Chapter 23: The Affair Is Revealed
Wen Rao lives in Qi Yao's dormitory.
The palace people around Qi Yao are not like other palace people, they are quiet when they talk and laugh, they don't seem to have any aura at all, but they can move sensitively, which shows that they are well-trained.
"If there is anything wrong, please ask Liangyuan to talk to the slave in time." Gao Lu said.
"Thank you, Grandpa Gao." Wen Rao smiled.
"It's nothing, the slave will retreat, and later Dr. Xie will have to dispense medicine to the emperor, and the slave will have to serve the emperor." Gao Lu said.
"The emperor is sick?" Wen Rao was puzzled.
"This ...... The emperor works day and night, and the dragon body naturally needs to be cared for, not to mention sick or not, just some tonics. Gao Lu said, "At this hour, Dr. Xie should have prepared the medicine and taken it to the kitchen to boil." ”
"Dr. Xie is also there?" Wen Rao's eyes flashed.
"Well, the emperor's body has always been cooked by Dr. Xie." Gao Lu said.
Wen Rao nodded and didn't ask anything more.
"Poppy, I'm hungry, let's go to the dining room." Wen Rao said.
Although the poppy didn't know what she meant, he didn't dare to disobey her, so he took her a cloak and went out for a walk with her.
The back kitchen is big, clean and spacious.
"Liangyuan, there is no one in the dining room now, only a sister who steamed pastries." Poppy said, taking a look.
Wen Rao nodded and said, "That's it, I'll sit here and wait for a while, you go there and join her and bring me a plate of pastries." ”
"Please also ask Liangyuan to wait for the slave and maid here, don't walk around." Poppy said.
Wen Rao bowed her head and waved her hand to let her go and come back quickly.
When the poppy's back was out of sight, she turned around and approached another room where the medicine was boiling.
She smelled a bitter smell from afar, and when she walked in, she saw Xie Heng just pouring a bowl of dark medicine.
"This is for the emperor to drink?" Wen Rao asked.
Xie Heng didn't even shake his hands when he heard her voice, and said without surprise: "Exactly." ”
"To be able to see a doctor for the emperor, Dr. Xie must have superb medical skills." Wen Rao lowered her eyes and looked at the bowl of medicine and said.
"Don't dare to be." He treated Wen Rao with a rather cold attitude.
"For the sake of the past, Wen Rao wants to ask Dr. Xie for a favor." Wen Rao said.
"I have nothing to do with Liangyuan, and Liangyuan please respect yourself." Xie Heng frowned, refusing to be thousands of miles away.
Wen Rao didn't mind, and said with a smile: "As a doctor, can't you ask you to help take the pulse?" ”
Xie Heng looked up at her at this time, put down the things in his hand, and said, "Yes." ”
"I'm tired." Wen Rao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, for fear that he would keep rejecting him.
"I've been in good health recently, so I haven't asked other doctors to check my pulse, and I met you by chance, so I wanted to ask, how is my current body?" Wen Rao asked.
She saw Xie Heng's expressionless face, and she was a little apprehensive in her heart.
"You ......" Xie Heng raised his eyes and looked at her with a complicated look.
"How?" Wen Rao's heart was pounding, and she waited for Xie Heng to give her an accurate answer.
"It's Ximai." Xie Heng said.
"......" Wen Rao looked at him, stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It turns out that Dr. Xie doesn't know that I am already pregnant with the emperor's child." ”
"Hmm." Xie Heng withdrew his hand and stopped paying attention to her.
Wen Rao lowered her eyes to cover all kinds of thoughts, and Xie Heng also said that she was happy...... So is she overthinking? There is no such thing as framing.
"I won't be able to leave until late afternoon." Xie Heng said coldly.
Wen Rao was absent-minded and didn't take his words to heart.
There was a poppy cry outside, Wen Rao bowed slightly to Xie Heng, and left the house.
Xie Heng behind him, watching her figure disappear, still twisting his fingers, glanced at the shadows outside the window without a trace.
"If you go back to the emperor, Dr. Xie will diagnose Wen Liangyuan's pulse, and the result is the happy pulse." Xuanyi knelt on the ground and reported.
"Did she say anything?" Qi Yao asked.
Xuanyi thought about it, and still repeated what Wen Rao said to Qi Yao: "Liangyuan said, for the sake of her and Dr. Xie's past relationship, let Dr. Xie help her see ......"
"Got it, you stand down." Qi Yao waved his hand, and the depression in his heart could not be eliminated.
He slammed his fist on the table with a loud bang.
"Your Majesty, let's drink the medicine first." Gao Lu endured his retreat and stepped forward to persuade.
He didn't even look at it, raised his hand and overturned the medicine bowl, and the black and bitter medicine spilled all over the ground.
"Go to the Forbidden Garden." He narrowed his eyes and said only three words.
But Gao Lu was terrified, it was a place that Qi Yao hadn't been to for a long time.
Wen Rao left the back and was as cold as ice, without half a smile. She touched her belly, and the feeling of joy in her heart was no longer there.
Instead, he repeatedly speculated about what was in his stomach.
Someone did something to her, and Xie Heng said that she was pregnant with a child.
The person who did tricks to her wanted to frame her, and he was undoubtedly from the palace. And Xie Heng is different, he is an outsider, and she has already had something to do with him, why did he lie to her?
But she just couldn't believe that she had a child like she did at first.
She was suspicious, and she looked suspicious of anyone.
"Poppy, why did that Li Hu leave?" Wen Rao asked.
"The slave doesn't know either, but I heard that Master Li made a windfall in his family, and he took his family to live outside the staff." Poppy said.
Wen Rao sneered: "Is the windfall so easy to make?" ”
"The slave doesn't know ......" Poppy noticed that she was not in a good mood.
"What if I threaten you with your sister's life, as long as you say that person is Wen Ru?" Wen Rao said.
"Liangyuan, slaves and maids may not be able to tell the truth, but they are not willing to ...... Tell lies. Poppy held the box in one hand and took out one hand to help Wen Rao.
The moment Wen Rao was touched by her, she suddenly shook her off: "How do I know if what you say now is true or false, no one of you has ever hoped that I will be better!" ”
Defenseless, Poppy was thrown backwards by her, and pastries were scattered from the food box.
Wen Rao gasped and felt a headache.
Every step she takes is like stepping on cotton, and if she is not careful, she will fall into a deep pit, and what awaits her at the bottom of the pit is a sharp needle, long and sharp, which can pierce her in pairs.
Does she have any children...... Everyone was telling her what the symptoms of having a child should be, in fact she didn't, but Xie Heng said that she did, whose words were true? She struggled and didn't even dare to ask.
Her head seemed to be out of control, and she kept thinking about it.
It's not that important, so why bother thinking about it......
"Liangyuan...... Miss! Poppy finally sensed that something was wrong with her, and as soon as she got up, her ankle ached, and she fell to the ground again, and the bruise on her back was not yet healed, and her face turned pale in an instant.
Wen Rao wandered aimlessly, not knowing where she had gone.
She was already trapped in a corner of the palace, and the rest of the palace was so strange.
Wen Rao stood in place and suddenly stopped moving.
"Liangyuan, why are you here alone?"
She heard someone talking, and when she looked up, it was a familiar face, but she didn't remember it very well.
"Liangyuan, I'm Changsheng, I have something to tell you." Changsheng grabbed his hands and looked around a little nervously, but fortunately no one came.
It's just that before he could speak, Wen Rao's face suddenly distorted.
"Liangyuan, what's wrong with you?" Changsheng was so frightened that he took a step back.
"I ...... Stomach hurt......" Wen Rao bowed down and covered her stomach tightly.
"Why, why did you suddenly have a stomachache, did you eat a bad stomach?" Changsheng asked nervously.
"No......" Wen Rao felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say it until she heard Changsheng's exaggerated cry.
"Blood...... Blood! Liangyuan, you bleed! ”
Wen Rao went down and saw that her plain white skirt was dyed a dazzling red.
Changsheng stood in place and was completely panicked, all he thought about was that he heard the two palace maids say something last night, they wanted to be unfavorable to Wen Liangyuan, how could Wen Liangyuan bleed for no reason standing here, she had a child, wouldn't the bleeding explain......
In the distance, there were many stumbling footsteps approaching.
Changsheng didn't know where the courage came from, he raised his hand and pushed Wen Rao hard, Wen Rao fell to the ground softly, and before he knew what happened, he only heard Changsheng shouting: "Liangyuan, why did you fall!" ”
"Wen Liangyuan!" A wave of people engulfed Wen Rao.
Changsheng clenched his fists, a little afraid, and a little regretful.
"It's him, I just saw that he pushed Liangyuan down!" Someone stretched out his hand to him, but he gritted his teeth and didn't explain.
"Master, it's terrible!"
Koharu panted and searched many places before finding Gao Lu at the gate of the Forbidden Garden.
"Master!"
"Be quiet, are you crazy? This is a forbidden garden! Gao Lu knocked him hard and warned.
"Master, it's terrible, Wen Liangyuan has a miscarriage." Koharu whispered.
"What's going on?! What did the doctor say? Gao Lu was also shocked.
"They carried Wen Liangyuan back, at this time someone went to ask for the imperial doctor, I am afraid that the imperial doctor has not yet arrived, Wen Liangyuan has shed a lot of blood, it is obvious that it is ......" Next, he didn't say it, Gao Lu also understood.
"What can I do?" Gao Lu said distressedly.
"Of course, I will sue the emperor immediately." Koharu anxiously wanted to get inside, but was dragged by Gao Lu.
"Crazy? The emperor has not taken medicine when he is sick, and now he is suing him, which is undoubtedly worse. Gao Lu said.
"But the emperor will know sooner or later, if he doesn't tell him, he won't let us go afterwards." Koharu said.
Gao Lu was still hesitating, "It's better to wait for the results of the Imperial Doctor to come out, and then return to him." ”
"But......" Koharu took a step back and looked behind Gao Lu with fear in his eyes.
Gao Lu didn't look back, and as soon as he took a breath, he felt a strong fishy smell behind him.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Qi Yao's hands covered in blood, and even steaming.
"What's wrong with her?" Qi Yao's tone was extremely calm, but it was also terrifying.
Gao Lu and Koharu both knelt on the ground, not daring to speak.
Qi Yao took a white towel and wiped his hands carefully, smashed it on Gao Lu's face, and walked away.
"Keep up!" When Gao Lu got up, Qi Yaoren's shadow was almost invisible, and he was busy urging Xiaochun.
Everywhere Qi Yao went, everyone's subconscious action was surrender.
He is the ruler, the king that all must look up to.
Including Wen Rao.
"Wen Liangyuan, you, you, you're not pregnant at all!" Imperial Physician Song was so frightened that he touched the box he was carrying, "This is the crime of bullying the king!" ”
"I'm not pregnant...... Wen Rao touched her belly, and suddenly understood why she suddenly had abdominal pain.
"You don't have a happy pulse, and you come to Kwai Shui again, you can't be a pregnant person." Imperial Physician Song said in panic.
It's about the emperor's heir, and no one dares to come nonsense.
"You lied to me?"
Qi Yao walked in coldly, and looked at Wen Rao's eyes cold and disappointed by a few people.
Wen Rao turned her face away and didn't defend anything.
"The Emperor's ......"
"Get out!" The evil aura emanating from Qi Yao's body was impossible to ignore.
All the palace people poured out, and no one dared to stay.
He raised his hand and slammed the door shut, walking towards Wen Rao step by step.
"Wen Rao, you lied to me again!" He grabbed her shoulders with enough force to crush her.
Wen Rao groaned in pain and struggled: "All the words are said by others, why do you say that I lied to you?" ”
Qi Yao curled the corners of his lips when he heard this, and smiled: "You are right, all the words are said by others, and they have nothing to do with you." ”
He laughed so horribly that Wen Rao felt a little creepy.
"My rao'er won't lie to me." He let go of his hand and gently smoothed her eyebrows.
"It's all those damn people talking, they want to trick Rao'er into leaving me, don't they?" He spoke so strangely.
Wen Rao subconsciously shook her head.
"Li Hu, Xie Heng, Sitong, Song Taiyi...... Who else? He counted them one by one, "Who else is lying to you, I just need to kill them all so that I can keep you." ”
