Chapter 23: If only she weren't the daughter of the Xie family
The talisman brought back by Yuqin did not stay overnight in Qifeng Palace.
In the Lingyun Palace, Emperor Mingde sat on the soft couch, and there was a stack of music next to him, and now there was another box.
Xie Cheng stood aside, her long and supple hair was simply tied in a bun, and she used the hairpin given to her by Emperor Mingde, although she didn't speak, the red circles under her eyes had already explained everything.
Emperor Mingde hadn't seen her like this for a long time, and his gaze moved away from the talisman in the box, and he stretched out his hand towards Xie Xi.
Putting her hand on the palm of Emperor Mingde's hand, Xie Ji followed his strength and sat beside him, she tilted her head slightly, refusing to look at him.
"I know, your aunt and nephew have been wronged, since this child's old injury has recurred, and he has taken care of it first, what are you doing in such a hurry to send the talisman?" Holding Xie Xie's shoulder, Emperor Mingde whispered softly.
"What else can I for?" Xie Cheng opened her mouth quietly, with a choked voice in her voice, and she turned her head with sadness in her eyes.
Yan Gui returned to Beijing this time for her marriage, and also to hand over the military talismans, so that the ministers of the court and China could rest assured. She is a girl, and she doesn't have to go to the battlefield, but as long as those ministers have a fighting spirit in their families, they don't need my children to work hard! ”
"Your Majesty is a benevolent and virtuous king, and you have always cherished talented people, you will rest assured that Liaobei will be handed over to Yangui, and Yangui has not disappointed Your Majesty's expectations. Those ministers couldn't see it, and they had a lot of suspicions about her. ”
"The return of the goose to Beijing is a secret thing, even I, who is an aunt, don't know it, but I can be known, and I set up an ambush on the road to intercept and kill her. It's also a shame that she has Ling Yuwei by her side, and only let her old injuries recur, otherwise now the concubine will only see her bones! ”
Xie Cheng choked up, probably getting more and more angry, her face was a little pale, she reached out to cover her heart, leaned weakly on Emperor Mingde's shoulder, and gasped rapidly.
"Someone, pass on the Imperial Doctor!" Seeing this situation, Emperor Mingde hurriedly ordered outside the hall, he grabbed Xie Ji, got up from the soft couch, and carried her to the inner hall.
"Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for your aunt and nephew, you can dissipate your anger, don't hurt your body." has been with him for many years, and Xie Ji has always been gentle and gentle in front of him.
Even if I occasionally get angry with him, it's just a small fight, and it's the first time I've seen Emperor Mingde.
"Your Majesty......" After the toss just now, the bun on Xie Xie's head was scattered, her long hair like ink was spread on the pillow, and her face looked even paler, she stretched out her hand and grabbed Emperor Mingde's sleeve.
"Auntie, don't talk yet, wait for the imperial doctor to come and take a good look for you." Her appearance really made Emperor Mingde worried, and he hurriedly persuaded him gently.
"Your Majesty, our children are gone, and the concubines can't lose the goose anymore." There was a tear in the corner of her eyes, Xie Ji's eyes were full of pain, and Emperor Mingde couldn't help but pause and hold her hand.
"I promise you she'll be fine. I know that you don't trust the ministers of the court, and I promise you that when Yangui's injuries are healed, let her follow the internal guards to find out about the assassination. He patted Xie Xie's hand lightly and solemnly promised.
"The concubine didn't want to use His Majesty's favor to blackmail me......" Xie Cheng shook her head slightly, her voice was mixed with a little anger, and her lips became whiter.
"I know, I know, I am not swayed by you, auntie, don't talk anymore." Holding Xie Xie's hand tightly, Emperor Mingde turned his head to look at the door of the inner hall, and there was more anger in his voice, "What about the Imperial Doctor!" ”
Peng Hai hurriedly entered the hall with the imperial doctor, and without waiting for the salute, he was called to the bedside by Emperor Mingde to treat Xie Hui.
At this time, although Xie Ji's eyes were open, his eyes were a little sloppy, and Emperor Mingde stood aside with a gloomy face.
The imperial doctor trembled and checked Xie Cheng's pulse, and the fine beads of sweat on his forehead slipped down and dripped into his eyes, but he didn't dare to wipe it at all.
"How's the concubine?" Seeing that the imperial doctor had withdrawn, Emperor Mingde immediately asked.
"Back to ...... Back to Your Majesty, Niangniang is caused by a rush to attack her heart. Kneeling on the ground, the Imperial Doctor spoke respectfully.
"How can this be?" Emperor Mingde frowned.
"Back to Your Majesty...... The mother is already frail and ...... I have hurt my body again, although I used tonic medicine to recuperate a few years ago, I have had little effect, and I think I don't eat much recently, and I am often worried, so this is why it will be like this. ”
The imperial doctor swallowed his saliva, and became more and more angry, but when he said the word 'tonic', he deliberately aggravated his tone.
Complexity flashed in Emperor Mingde's eyes.
The imperial doctor who was hired by Peng Hai is the head of the imperial hospital who is specifically responsible for Emperor Mingde's body, and his medical skills are there, so there is no need to doubt it.
When Xie Cheng had a miscarriage, Emperor Mingde specially instructed him to take care of Xie Cheng's body, and the tonic she used in those years was also prescribed by this imperial doctor.
"Let's go prescribe medicine." After a while, Emperor Mingde waved his hand, and the imperial doctor hurriedly responded, got up from the ground, and went outside to prescribe medicine.
Xie Ji had already fallen asleep, and Emperor Mingde sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her still pale face.
Even in this situation, looking at her like this, Emperor Mingde would still feel moved, but ......
If she wasn't the daughter of the Xie family, it would be fine.
Concubine Xie Guifei's coma was ordered to be blocked, so the news did not spread, and as for the matter of the imperial doctor in Lingyun Palace, it was only said that Emperor Mingde wanted to use some calming prescriptions.
No one dares to snoop on the affairs of the emperor's internal affairs.
At night, Emperor Mingde instructed Peng Hai to cancel the morning court tomorrow morning, which also confirmed the matter of letting the imperial doctor prescribe a prescription to calm the gods.
When Xie Ji woke up, it was already dark, and Emperor Mingde was sitting on the side, holding her with one hand and looking at the music with the other.
Looking at the slight black green under his eyes, a complicated color flashed in Xie Xie's eyes, she moved, and was immediately sensed by Emperor Mingde, and turned her head to look, "Auntie, are you awake?" ”
"Your Majesty, the concubine is guilty." She wanted to get up, but was held down by Emperor Mingde.
"But what's uncomfortable?" Seeing that her face was much better, Emperor Mingde asked gently, and Xie Ji shook his head.
"You freaked out last night, as long as you're okay." Nodding, Emperor Mingde asked again, "Do you want to get up and eat something?" ”
"Has Your Majesty eaten it?" Xie Ji looked at him and asked with concern, Emperor Mingde shook his head like she did just now, "I will eat with you." ”
He commanded outside the hall, and after a short time, Peng Hai brought the palace people in and put the food on the table.
Only then did Emperor Mingde reach out and help Xie Cheng up from the bed, and sat at the table with her.
He turned around and fetched Xie Xie's shoes, and squatted down to put them on for her.
Xie Ji sat on the cushioned stool, looking down at the back of Emperor Mingde's head, and the emotions that kept rolling in her eyes made her spend great self-control to barely suppress it.
All this was not seen by Emperor Mingde, and after putting on her shoes, he raised his eyes to look at Xie Hui, and saw that she looked at him gently with a smile, so he got up and went to wash his hands.
After he sat down, Xie Ji handed over the soup, and the two were about to eat, when they heard the sound of reply, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness King Ning asks to see you." ”
