Chapter 174 Breaking Through
He Yanchen has seven days off, excluding the two days for ancestor worship, and can accompany Yueli for a full five days.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. Yueli's period came just one day after they were in love.
He Yanchen was originally irritable, but when he saw Yueli lying on the bed with a pale face, he couldn't help but feel distressed and called Xiao Yuanpan to take Yueli's pulse.
Ji Ming went to the Imperial Hospital to summon her, but Yue Li tossed and turned on the bed, unable to lie down due to the pain.
"Your Majesty..." Yueli covered her stomach and groaned in pain, wanting to roll around on the bed.
He Yanchen quickly hugged her, letting her lean against him. He took the small hand stove that Nianxia handed over and warmed her stomach through her clothes. "Why does it hurt so much?"
"I don't know..." Yue Li's voice was filled with tears. She really didn't know why it hurt so much this time. She had felt pain before, but never as severe as this time.
Yue Li lay in the man's arms, the cold sweat on her cheeks wet the man's chest. He Yanchen didn't care, but just comforted her gently.
Yueli felt like crying. No one had ever been so patient with her during her period, holding her and comforting her.
"Why are you crying? Does it hurt?" He Yanchen saw her suddenly burst into tears and frantically wiped her tears with his sleeve. He couldn't help but shout angrily to the outside, "Where's the imperial physician? He hasn't come yet?"
Yueli sobbed twice and hugged him tighter: "Your Majesty, why are you so good to me?"
He Yanchen was stunned. He didn't do anything, so why was he nice to her?
Some people didn't understand Yue Li's train of thought, but now was obviously not the time to refute her. He Yanchen followed her words and said, "If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?"
"Stop talking nonsense and lie down."
A quarter of an hour later, Judge Xiao came in carrying a medicine box.
"Your humble servant pays respect to Your Majesty."
He Yanchen waved his hand: "Come here and show her."
Only then did Judge Xiao notice that there was a woman on the dragon bed. However, this woman looked very unfamiliar and did not seem like a queen from any palace.
He didn't dare to say anything more, and hurriedly knelt beside the footstool, covered Yue Li's wrist with silk cloth, and concentrated on taking her pulse.
Yue Li was so tired from the pain that she lay on her side on his legs with a pale face, and she didn't even have the strength to cry out in pain.
"When was the last time you had your period, girl?"
Yueli thought for a moment and said weakly, "More than two months ago..."
He Yanchen frowned. Even though he didn't understand these things, he knew that women should have their periods every month. Yue Li's periods were so irregular, so it seemed that she was not in good health.
He couldn't help but curse Xiao Mingcheng in his heart again. He didn't know how he took care of people. He hadn't had his period for more than two months and he didn't even know to find a doctor to take care of him.
It's useless.
Judge Xiao withdrew his hand and glanced at He Yanchen. He Yanchen knew that he had something to say in private.
"You sleep for a while. I'll tell them to make medicine for you."
Yueli hummed and closed her eyes tiredly.
When they reached the outside of the palace, He Yanchen asked directly, "How is her health?"
Judge Xiao replied, "Your Majesty, this girl must have taken strong medication when she was young, which has caused her menstrual irregularities, and...it is not suitable for her to get pregnant."
"Also, I've discovered that this girl has been taking contraceptive soup recently. And that soup isn't the mild kind used in the palace, but a very strong one. That's why her period was so painful this time."
He Yanchen was mentally prepared for the first piece of news. After all, he had already found out Yue Li's origins.
But the second news...
His face suddenly darkened.
Xiao Mingcheng actually gave Yueli contraceptive soup?
Inside the hall.
When Yueli was about to fall asleep, He Yanchen brought in some medicine. He lifted Yueli up and held her in his arms, letting her lean against him: "Be good, drink the medicine first."
Smelling the bitter taste, Yueli felt nauseous: "I don't want to drink..."
"How can you get better without taking the medicine?" He Yanchen patiently scooped a spoonful and blew on it before feeding her. "This isn't bitter. I asked the imperial physician to add something to remove the bitterness. Drink it and your stomachache will go away."
Yueli was skeptical, but she took a small bite and it didn't seem that bitter.
"I'll drink it myself..." She took the medicine bowl, pinched her nose and drank it all in one gulp.
"So good." He Yanchen helped her wipe her mouth, "Have a good rest, I will accompany you."
Yue Li grabbed his hand and didn't want to let go. She said aggrievedly, "Your Majesty, can you sleep with me?"
"good."
He Yanchen took off his coat and went to bed. He held her in his arms and kissed her between the eyebrows: "Go to sleep. I will accompany you. You can see me when you wake up."
Yue Li finally felt relieved and snuggled in his arms, closing her eyes.
He Yanchen was holding a hand warmer to warm her stomach. There was also a floor heater in the hall, and he placed a few charcoal basins nearby in case she got cold.
The woman in his arms still felt it was not hot enough, but He Yanchen was already sweating all over, and his inner clothes were sticking to his body, making him very uncomfortable.
He looked down at the peacefully sleeping woman, and his heart ached.
If I had met her earlier, I would definitely not have let her suffer so much.
*
Perhaps the imperial physician's medicine was effective, Yueli didn't feel much pain the next day. After lying in bed for another two days, she began to feel bored.
Although He Yanchen was on leave, he still had memorials to read every day. Yueli rested her head on his legs and played with his jade pendant.
The man took the time to look at her and pulled back his jade pendant: "Do you like jade pendants so much?"
"Yes, I like jade."
Yueli snatched it back again.
"There are a lot of them in the warehouse. If you like, let Ji Ming take you to choose. You can use anything in there."
Yueli's eyes lit up: "Really?"
"Really." He Yanchen pinched her face, knowing that she must be bored after being cooped up in the palace for the past two days, so he put down the memorial in his hand and asked, "Do you want to go out for a walk?"
"You haven't fully recovered yet, so I'll accompany you to the Imperial Garden to relax."
Yueli quickly sat up. She had been staying in the Linde Hall since she entered the palace and had not gone out yet.
He Yanchen changed into casual clothes and took Yueli to the imperial garden.
at the same time.
Xiao Mingyue handed over a sign to enter the palace to see the empress dowager. From the palace gate to Yanfu Palace, he also had to pass through the imperial garden.
She was in a good mood as she walked along the palace road, imagining in her mind how the Queen Mother had tortured that woman in the past few days. After all, the Queen Mother had always had a close relationship with her mother, and she definitely didn't like that vixen.
Just when passing by the Imperial Garden, Xiao Mingyue saw a tall and familiar figure from afar.
It’s He Yanchen!
She recognized him immediately, her heart began to beat fast, and she wanted to go over and see him.
But the next moment, she saw He Yanchen walking in the imperial garden with his arms around a woman. The woman turned her head inadvertently, and a familiar face instantly came into her sight.
Xiao Mingyue froze in place.
