As a womenfolk, after Hua Xi Wan entered Zhu Que Palace, she did not go to the window to look. She saw from afar that the Crown Prince's face was sallow, and half of his vitality seemed to have disappeared. There was a woman dressed in palace attire standing by the bed. While her face was respectful, she was slightly wooden. She did things methodically and without vitality.
The Crown Princess sat at the side and cried silently, but her complexion was good. There were three or four servants with impressive presences around her, guarding the Crown Princess.
Seeing the servants in such a position, the Imperial womenfolk did not blindly go near the Crown Princess. They all chose a seat slightly further away to sit, and no one dared to speak.
Of the Imperial womenfolk present, Hua Xi Wan's status was the highest. She drank a mouthful of tea and used an embroidered handkerchief to wipe her dry lips. Then she stood and curtsied to the Empress. "Empress, how is the Crown Prince?"
The Empress looked at the fake concern of the women in front of her and wanted to scold them. Don't make such fake appearances. She felt disgusted. But she did not because she was the Empress. She could not and would not do such a thing. "I have troubled you all to make this trip. The imperial doctors have made the Crown Prince vomit. As long as he recuperates, there will be no major problems in the future."
"That is great." Hua Xi Wan had a joyful expression. "The Crown Prince has great fortune. He will definitely be able to turn danger into safety and have endless good fortune in the future."
"I will borrow Xian Wang Fei's auspicious words." The Empress forced a smile. When her gaze landed on the Crown Princess, it was slightly dark.
"Niangniang, two grand doctors have fainted." Zhao Dong trembled as he knelt in front of the Empress, not daring to raise his head. "Look …"
"Since they cannot cure the Crown Prince, what is the use of keeping them," the Empress said expressionlessly in a deep voice. "Let them be if they have fainted. If anything happens to the Crown Prince, not just them, but even their families will not have good days."
The Empress' words were a threat and also a way to vent her anger. It was not that there was no one present who sympathized with the Imperial Physician, but at this time, no one dared to take the lead. They were all mortals, so sympathy was something they could only have on the premise of protecting themselves.
Although Zhao Dong felt that this action was not appropriate, the present situation did not allow for a servant like him to advise further. He silently retreated. Looking at the imperial physicians kneeling outside the eaves, he sighed. Suddenly, he found that the Emperor's guard of honor had appeared around the corner outside the palace gates. His expression was stern as he wanted to go into the hall to report to the Empress. However, he saw the chief eunuch of the Emperor, Ma gonggong, walk towards him. He could only stop his steps and greet him with a smile.
"Hey, Little Dong, what are you doing?" Eunuch Ma looked at the old imperial physician who had already fainted in the snow and exclaimed, "Aiyo, aren't these people the holy hands of the Imperial Hospital? How did they end up like this?"
Hearing this, Zhao Dong's heart skipped a beat. Before he could speak, he saw the Emperor arrive in front of him. He hurriedly retreated a few steps and knelt down.
The Qilong Emperor looked at the messy yard and said in a heavy voice, "Have these imperial physicians stand first. Send the old imperial physicians who have fainted home. The rest stand under the eaves and wait for the summons."
The unease in Zhao Dong's heart became even more apparent. He seemed to hear some dissatisfaction from the Emperor's words. However, thinking that the Crown Prince's life was uncertain and that the Emperor only had the Crown Prince as a son, even if he was dissatisfied, he would not act out.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
When the people in the room heard the announcement, they all stood and took a step back. Yan Jinqiu walked to Hua Xi Wan's side and shielded her behind him. Together with Hua Xi Wan, they bowed towards the yellow figure.
"Rise."
When Hua Xi Wan rose, she raised an eyebrow at Yan Jinqiu. The Emperor did not seem to be in a good mood.
Yan Jinqiu squeezed her fingertips to indicate that she did not need to worry.
The Emperor walked to the bedside and looked at the sallow faced Crown Prince. He sighed. Turning his head, he saw the Crown Princess' eyes were slightly red. He said to the Empress, "Zhen has sent the imperial physicians who have fainted back. Right now, the Crown Princess is pregnant. Even if you do not think of anything else, you should accumulate good fortune for the unborn child."
These words were said to the Empress. If they were said in private, it would not be too excessive. However, there were many members of the Imperial Family present. If the Emperor said these words, it was not giving face to the Empress.
The Empress' expression changed. She seemed to have some emotions that were about to explode. However, when her gaze landed on the Crown Prince on the bed, the little bit of emotion instantly disappeared. She only bowed her head and said, "Qie was too impulsive."
Seeing her like this, the Emperor did not continue speaking. He turned his head to look at the Crown Princess standing at the side. In a warm voice, he said, "You are pregnant. You do not need to serve the Crown Prince every day. The servants in the palace will be guarding the Crown Prince in the future. You should go back and rest early."
The Crown Princess looked at the Empress and then bowed to the Emperor. "Daughter-in-law bids farewell."
The Empress smiled and said, "Your fuhuang is right. You are pregnant right now. You cannot be careless."
"Yes." The Crown Princess bowed again and then walked out with the help of a palace attendant.
Hua Xi Wan watched out of the corner of her eye as the Crown Princess walked further and further away, surrounded by a group of palace attendants. She silently moved her gaze away.
The Empress looked coldly at the back of the Crown Princess. She turned and walked to the side of the bed. She tucked in the blankets for the Crown Prince and said in a gentle voice, "Emperor, if something happens to the Crown Prince, what should ben gong do? Also, what will happen to the unborn child in the Crown Princess' belly? Will the child not have a father when he is born?"
The Empress' words were bleak, but Hua Xi Wan heard something wrong in the words. If her previous guess was correct, for the Empress, the Crown Prince was the most important. If something happened to the Crown Prince, then the child in the Crown Princess' belly … …
"Don't worry, nothing will happen to the Crown Prince," The Qilong Emperor walked to the side of the bed. He looked at his son on the bed for a long time before sighing, "Don't worry too much. Didn't the Imperial Physician say that as long as he is carefully nurtured, nothing will happen? You also have to be careful of your own body."
"Even so, qie's heart does not feel good to think that my son has just come out of the Heavenly Prison and suffered such a great crime," The Empress wiped the tears at the corner of her eyes, "Emperor, you cannot let the culprit go unpunished."
The Qilong Emperor's expression was dark as he said, "Don't worry, zhen's son will not be plotted against by others."
No matter how disappointed he was in the Crown Prince, this was his only son. Today, someone could poison the Crown Prince in Zhu Que Palace. Then in the future, wouldn't someone dare to poison him?
Seeing the Emperor and Empress become angry, the breathing of the other people present became smaller. If the Crown Prince wasn't so muddle-headed, it could be considered to shake the foundation of the country. Fortunately, the Crown Prince was a preposterous person. Even if something happened to him, it wouldn't affect Dazhao too much.
They faintly sensed that Celestial Empress and Celestial Empress were speaking to them, but they had to look confused. Because only those with ulterior motives would think so much, so they had to pretend that they did not understand.
Hua Xi Wan suddenly felt that the most noble couple in Dazhao didn't have much meaning. It was fine if they appeared to be in harmony, but they didn't teach their son well. This was the future Crown Prince of Dazhao. If they didn't teach the Crown Prince well, it wouldn't just harm a few people, but the people of this country.
As to what was going on behind them, it had nothing to do with her. The Qilong Emperor, as the Emperor, was becoming more and more headstrong. This kind of Qilong Emperor couldn't be considered a good Emperor.
Withdrawing her gaze, Hua Xi Wan looked at the shiny floor tiles under her feet and didn't want to raise her head again.
"You can all leave. The Crown Prince is fine. You don't have to worry."
The Emperor spoke, and everyone filed out. Yan Jinqiu and Hua Xi Wan went to sit with the Empress Dowager before leaving the palace and getting on the carriage to return home.
"What's wrong with you?" Yan Jinqiu sensed that Hua Xi Wan's mood wasn't right. He reached out to hold her waist and said, "Are you not feeling well?"
Hua Xi Wan shook her head and said, "It's nothing. I'm just a little stuffy."
Seeing that her eyebrows were a little tired, Yan Jin Qiu simply pulled her into his arms and let her lean on him more comfortably. "Are you bored?"
Hua Xi Wan's hand that was grabbing his lapel paused. She raised her eyebrows and said, "My whole body is stuffy."
"Then I'll rub your chest." Yan Jinqiu smiled and was about to rub Hua Xi Wan's chest. Hua Xi Wan couldn't stop laughing. In the end, she could only lie on Yan Jinqiu's chest weakly. "No, no, I can't breathe."
Seeing that Hua Xi Wan's cheeks were pink from laughing, Yan Jinqiu couldn't help but kiss her cheek. He said softly, "Don't worry. I won't let you fall into such an embarrassing situation."
Knowing what he was talking about, Hua Xi Wan's heart trembled slightly. She raised her head and looked at Yan Jinqiu. After a while, she leaned on his shoulder and said, "You have to keep your word."
Yan Jinqiu hugged her tightly. For some reason, he thought of her fierce appearance when she kicked the rockery in anger after the Green Bead incident. At that moment, he felt that she was so beautiful that he couldn't take his eyes off her.
His mother was a sweet-tempered woman, and he had seen many sweet-tempered women. However, in his eyes, such women were like ancient paintings. They might have some charm, but they would shatter at the slightest touch.
When he first saw Hua Xi Wan, he was stunned by her appearance and bewitched by her beautiful smile, but that was all. What really moved him was her anger when she was angry. At that time, she was like the only color in black and white ink, making him suddenly feel moved.
The closer he got to her, the more he felt that such a woman was suitable to be with him. She was lazy but not stupid. She was beautiful but smart. She was affectionate but cold.
He didn't need a dignified, statue-like lady from a noble family, nor did he need a well-behaved woman from the royal family. She might be a little lazy. She might have her own thoughts. She might be a little consistent. However, what he wanted from the beginning to the end was a lively woman, not a puppet.
Sometimes, a person's road was too difficult to walk alone. He needed to find the right person to walk with him.
Originally, he thought that he would never find a woman who suited his taste in this life. However, God was so kind that he found her. Then, he would try his best to win her heart.
In this world, it was too difficult to find a suitable person. How could he be willing to miss such a good opportunity?
In fact, he and she were the same kind of people. God wanted them to be together, which meant that it was God's will.
