The night was replaced by sunshine. The maids in Chenhua Palace walked hurriedly but lightly, for fear of disturbing the queen who was still sleeping. Soothing incense was curling in the room. Xiao Yichen held Ji Lingxue's hand and waited from dusk to dawn.
Mo Xiang walked in with a tray with steaming porridge on it. She bowed in front of Xiao Yichen and said, "Your Majesty, you haven't eaten all night. Drink some porridge first. If the Queen wakes up and sees you like this, she will blame me for not taking good care of you."
Xiao Yichen turned his head to glance at Mo Xiang, picked up the bowl of porridge and drank it without tasting the food. Ji Lingxue probably didn't know that what he was most afraid of was that she would fall into a deep sleep like she did last time. She would not know the torment and anxiety in his heart.
Mo Xiang secretly raised his head to see Ji Lingxue sleeping soundly on the bed. Apart from her pale face, her breathing became even. Is the emperor worried about something
As soon as Bai Mo left, he said that someone had given the queen an abortion drug, and fortunately it was discovered in time, but she had to be extra careful in the future, otherwise the fetus would be in danger if she didn't take good care of it.
In the entire palace, who else but Evian would least want the Queen to be pregnant? However, the Emperor trusted Evian so much that he never questioned her even after such a big thing happened.
Thinking of this, Mo Xiang felt a little unbalanced, but he did not dare to offend because the other party was the emperor.
"Dang!" Xiao Yichen put down the bowl, stood up and said, "Take good care of the queen, and outsiders don't need to disturb her." After saying that, he waved his sleeves and walked out.
Mo Xiang watched Xiao Yichen's back disappear, quickly closed the door, and personally fetched hot water for Ji Lingxue to wash her face and hands.
Yiyun was stopped by the guards at the gate of Chenhua Palace. She saw Xiao Yichen striding out from afar, and she hurriedly knelt down to salute.
Xiao Yichen stood in front of Yiyun, who looked up with an understanding look, "Your Majesty, is the Queen okay? I heard that something big happened after the Queen's coronation ceremony yesterday. The Queen fainted and hasn't woken up yet. Yiyun has been worried all night, so I came to see if the Queen has woken up."
Xiao Yichen hummed lightly, glanced at Yiyun who was kneeling on the ground, and turned his eyes away, "I trust the medical skills of Doctor Bai Mo, you don't have to worry."
Yiyun smiled and said, "That's great. I wonder if the Queen has woken up. I want to go in and see her."
Xiao Yichen glanced at Yiyun calmly, and Yiyun lowered her head in fear, "Sister Queen needs to have a good rest. It's Yiyun who is not sensible. I'll take my leave now."
Xiao Yichen nodded and walked forward without even looking at Yiyun.
After Xiao Yichen's guard of honor disappeared, Yiyun stood up with the help of Linglan. Linglan pouted and said, "The emperor has been getting more and more indifferent to you, the princess..."
Yiyun glanced at the tightly closed gate of Chenhua Palace and said softly, "Let's go."
Ji Lingxue felt that she was in darkness, and there was a familiar figure walking in front of her, "Ruge... Ruge..." she shouted, hoping Ruge would stop.
The figure in front stopped. Ji Lingxue was delighted and walked forward quickly. The more she walked, the stickier her feet became. She looked down and saw her white embroidered shoes standing in a pool of blood. She followed the blood trail and saw Ruge slowly turning around. Her bloody face was a little scary. He smiled and said, "Princess, why are you here?"
Ji Lingxue stretched out her hand to him and said, "Give me your hand, I'll pull you up."
Ruge shook her head, expressionless, "No, you can't save me, go away..."
Ji Lingxue frowned, "I won't watch you die!"
Ruge turned away as if she didn't hear anything, and her figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.
"Like a song...like a song..."
Ji Lingxue suddenly opened her eyes, and in front of her was the familiar Chenhua Palace. There was a faint scent of sandalwood in the palace. The wind blew up the bed curtains, and she saw Mo Xiang walking quickly with tea in her hand, with a happy smile on her face, "Master, you are awake, but you had a nightmare. You are sweating a lot, right?"
Mo Xiang helped Ji Lingxue sit up and handed the warm tea to her. "This is the calming tea I just brewed. Master, drink it quickly."
Ji Lingxue took a sip and drank it. "What time is it now? Where's Ruge?"
Mo Xiang sighed, "Master, it's not enough that you called out to other men in your dream. Now when you wake up, instead of asking where the emperor is, you ask about Ruge's situation. Although it's true that Ruge saved you, you will make the emperor jealous."
Mo Xiang said: "Ruge is in the Imperial Hospital, don't worry, the imperial doctors are treating him with all their heart, you should take care of yourself first."
Ji Lingxue only heard the first half of Mo Xiang's words, threw off the quilt and ran out.
It was noon, the sun was shining warmly on her face, and Mo Xiang was anxiously following Ji Lingxue, "Master, please slow down, be careful, you can't run like this..."
Ji Lingxue didn't care what Mo Xiang said. What she wanted most now was to see with her own eyes that Ruge was safe and sound, so as to dispel the nightmare in her heart.
Chenhua Palace is not far from the Imperial Hospital, but it is not close either. Many palace maids joined Mo Xiang to help her pursue Ji Lingxue, so when Xiao Yichen heard about this, it became...
"What did you say? The queen was running in the palace as soon as she woke up?" Xiao Yichen stood up suddenly and threw away the memorial in his hand. The eunuchs crawled on the ground and did not dare to look up at Xiao Yichen's angry face. The emperor was angry, and the temperature in the entire imperial study dropped by ten degrees in an instant.
Xiao Yichen: Does this woman know what she went through yesterday? She still has such good physical strength now. Is he too lenient with her
The gate of the Imperial Hospital was right in front of her. Ji Lingxue turned around on the spot and was shocked to find herself in Xiao Yichen's arms.
Ji Lingxue blinked, "Your Majesty?!"
Xiao Yichen narrowed his eyes slightly, a dangerous light flashed in them. Ji Lingxue shrank her neck and quickly changed her address, "Husband..."
Xiao Yichen nodded in satisfaction, and the next moment he said with a stern face: "You have been unconscious since last night, and you just woke up and are running around in a hurry. Where are you going? If you feel uncomfortable, just stay in Chenhua Palace. The imperial physician will come to check your pulse and diagnose you. Do you know..." Do you know that you are a mother now, and you are pregnant with my flesh and blood...
Before Xiao Yichen could finish his words, Ji Lingxue interrupted him and said, "I know, I know, I'm the queen now and it's really inappropriate for me to jump around in the palace, but I just want to see Ruge and find out how badly he's injured. As long as I'm sure he's safe, I'll go back obediently..."
Xiao Yichen's eyes gradually turned cold. Last night, Ji Lingxue was thinking of Ruge in her dream, and now when she woke up, it was still him...
Xiao Yichen: "He's fine. There are so many doctors in the Imperial Hospital watching him. I even gave him the Resurrection Herb to eat. He won't die!"
Ji Lingxue frowned. What's wrong with Xiao Yichen? Why is he speaking in such a sarcastic tone? Ruge was seriously injured because of her. What's wrong with her going to visit him? What's more, he is her sworn brother.
Ji Lingxue's expression also changed: "Let me go!"
Xiao Yichen let go of Ji Lingxue and was about to say something when Ji Lingxue turned around, pushed open the door of the Imperial Hospital and walked in. Xiao Yichen's face became even darker, but he was still worried about Ji Lingxue's safety, so he followed her in.
The aroma of medicine wafted through the wing of the Imperial Hospital. Ruge lay quietly on a simple wooden bed, her face pale and with many silver needles shining with silver light inserted into her body.
The old imperial physician with a white beard was flipping through a medical book in his hand. At this moment, there was a bang of the door, and the imperial physician who was reading the book was so frightened that he loosened his hand and the book fell to the ground with a thud.
The old imperial physician opened the door and walked out, only to see Ji Lingxue and Xiao Yichen enter the courtyard one after another. He blinked and rubbed his eyes. He was not mistaken. The emperor and the queen actually came to the Imperial Hospital in person.
"Your Majesty, I am here to see you, Your Majesty." The old doctor bowed and saluted.
Ji Lingxue asked: "Why are you the only one in the entire Imperial Hospital? Where is Ruge?"
The old doctor said, "In reply to the Queen, ten doctors from the Imperial Hospital went to Jingzhou to support the epidemic, and three went to the Queen Mother, leaving this old minister to guard the Imperial Hospital."
"What's wrong with the Queen Mother?" Xiao Yichen asked.
The old doctor replied, "This morning, the Queen Mother suddenly had a headache, and I, along with three other doctors, treated her. She just regained consciousness a little, so I went back to the Imperial Hospital to take care of the Second Prince of Dayan."
Xiao Yichen nodded and asked, "How is he?"
The old doctor bowed. He only discovered the other party's identity last night after seeing the blood on Ruge's face. No wonder the emperor tried his best to save him. It turned out that this man was the second prince of Dayan. This was related to the friendship between the two countries and there could not be any mistakes.
The old doctor pondered for a moment and said, "The second prince of Dayan has both internal and external injuries. Let's not talk about other external injuries. The most troublesome thing is that two of his chest ribs are broken. Fortunately, the broken ribs did not penetrate into important internal organs. It's just that the water in his lungs is difficult to clear, so he is still unconscious."
Xiao Yichen turned his head to look at Ji Lingxue, his eyes seemed to say: Did you hear what the imperial physician said? I treated him very carefully. He is your savior, your sworn brother, and the prince of Dayan. His life and death is related to the long-term friendship between the two countries.
Ji Lingxue walked straight towards the incense shop, her heart beating inexplicably fast. The door was open, so Ji Lingxue walked in and saw Ruge, who was lying on the wooden board with a pale face. He lay there motionless. If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of his chest, Ji Lingxue would have suspected that Ruge was dead.
She looked at Ruge quietly, and her mind recalled the scene of her first meeting with Ruge. At that time, he was plotted against and covered in blood, but not as miserable as he is now.
Ji Lingxue: "Ruge, I owe you a favor."
Xiao Yichen stood behind Ji Lingxue and patted her shoulder, "Don't worry, he has a long life and will not die!"
Ji Lingxue turned to look at Xiao Yichen, "Are you angry?"
Finally I remembered his existence and guessed that he was angry.
Xiao Yichen said, "I'm just angry that you don't take care of yourself." He held Ji Lingxue's hand and said, "Ruge will be fine here. Come back to the palace with me now."
Ji Lingxue looked at Ruge reluctantly, turned around and followed Xiao Yichen to walk out. Suddenly, she sprained her ankle and was hugged by Xiao Yichen.
Xiao Yichen said unhappily: "You are already a mother, why are you still so unstable?"
