Chapter 237 Omission
There is snow in the plum blossom forest.
It was the heavy snow that fell a few days ago and has not melted into water yet.
So, as soon as you walk on it, there is a "creaking" sound.
Xie Chen's steps were slow and steady.
Pei Tingyue put one arm around his neck and held the red plum in the other. She tilted her head and asked with a smile, "Your Majesty is walking so slowly. Don't you have the strength?"
After hearing this, Xie Chen lifted her up and deliberately scared her.
As expected, Pei Tingyue screamed and bit his shoulder angrily.
She wore a lot of clothes in winter, and she didn't use any strength at all, so Xie Chen didn't feel any pain at all, but rather itchy.
Xie Chen paused, freed one hand, and patted her butt. "Are you questioning me? Didn't you suffer enough last night? How about you suffer again later and talk about the love night that we didn't finish talking about this morning?"
"I'm tired, I don't want to talk about this." Pei Tingyue snorted, "Your Majesty, please leave as soon as you have the strength. At this rate, when will we be able to return to the palace?"
Xie Chen laughed angrily: "You little heartless boy, who am I walking so slowly for? Isn't it because I'm afraid you'll fall that I'm walking so slowly?"
Pei Tingyue was speechless.
Her heart was slightly rippled.
In fact, what impressed her most about this person were these little details.
Pei Tingyue rested her little face on his shoulder and stopped urging him.
She looked happy and slowly remembered this good scene in her heart.
Xie Chen noticed the movement on his back, and the corner of his mouth curled up, but he quickly let it go and continued to walk out of Merlin with his mind focused.
When they arrived at Chengning Palace, Xie Chen called her, but she was silent, probably because she had fallen asleep.
Xie Chen shook his head helplessly.
Then he carefully placed her on the bed.
Only then did I realize that although she was asleep, she was still holding the cold red plum blossom tightly in her hand.
Xie Chen couldn't help but smile.
My whole body softened.
He took out the red plum blossom and placed it in a white glazed vase himself, and placed it on the desk where she usually handled palace affairs.

When Pei Tingyue woke up, the hall was quiet.
He searched the hall for a while but couldn't find the figure. When he glanced at the diamond-shaped window, he found that the sky outside was dark, as if it was already evening.
She was shocked. Had she slept for so long? Did Xiao Si go to school?
Pei Tingyue called out to Yunshu and asked hurriedly, "What time is it now?"
Yun Shu said, "It's just noon. Your Majesty can have lunch after washing up."
Pei Tingyue threw off the quilt and got out of bed. "Noon? What's wrong with the sky outside?"
"It's windy outside, and it's gloomy. It looks like it's going to snow heavily!"
Pei Tingyue understood and reminded him, "Pick him up as soon as Zhou Zhou finishes school. Don't let him linger in Wenhua Hall, lest he catch a cold on the slippery roads where it snows."
Yun Shu smiled and said, "Sister Yun Zheng went to prepare it a long time ago. She placed a charcoal basin in His Highness's sedan chair and also prepared a hand warmer."
Pei Tingyue was relieved: "Okay."
She simply adjusted her makeup and left the bedroom.
After searching for a long time, I finally saw the figure in the small study in the east room.
Pei Tingyue walked over and asked, "What is the emperor looking at?"
Xie Chen closed the book, stood up and said, "It's just an ordinary leisure book. Look at the plum blossoms I arranged with my own hands. Are they beautiful?"
Only then did Pei Tingyue notice the things on the table.
The white vase is quiet and the red plum blossoms are gorgeous, and this display looks very beautiful.
Her eyes lit up and she nodded quickly.
"It's really beautiful. The emperor folded it and inserted it into me. I want to admire it for a long time."
Xie Chen chuckled.
The two went to the dining hall hand in hand to have dinner.
The table was already filled with delicious meals, all made in the Chengning Palace's small kitchen, and all of them were Pei Tingyue's favorites.
But she didn't use much at noon today.
Xie Chen frowned and looked at her: "Why are you eating so little?"
Pei Tingyue said: "I don't have much of an appetite."
After hearing this, Xie Chen's eyes darkened.
But he showed nothing.
He made her eat half a bowl of porridge before he stopped.
After dinner, Pei Tingyue said worriedly, "I'm always worried about Yuzhou. Why don't we go check on him?"
Xie Chen held her hand and said, "There are so many servants in Wenhua Palace, nothing will happen."
Pei Tingyue thought about it and it made sense, so he didn't insist on going.
She rested for a while and then went into the east room to handle palace affairs.
Xie Chen accompanied her, sometimes grinding ink for her, sometimes massaging her shoulders.
It was almost dusk when Xiao Si's voice suddenly rang out from the palace, "Father, Mother, your son is back!"
It was Xie Chen who picked him up and first felt if he was cold before asking, "How was school today?"
Xiao Si was very excited, his face beaming with joy as he said, "I'm learning to write! The lecturer even assigned me homework."
Xie Chen frowned as he looked at his little black hand.
Is this written by hand?
Xie Chen put him down and said, "Go wash your hands, have your meal, and then finish your homework."
Xiao Si went there with his short legs.
Xie Chen turned around and said, "Let's go and have dinner."
Pei Tingyue nodded, closed the document, and took him out.
At dinner time.
Xiao Si has a big appetite. He wants to drink ginseng pigeon soup and eat cherry meat, and he keeps asking for it.
Pei Tingyue had a gentle smile on her lips as she served him food one by one.
But I didn't eat much.
Neither the mother nor the son noticed that Xie Chen's face darkened.
Drowsiness and loss of appetite.
The symptoms were very similar to those when she was pregnant.
But how could this be possible?
Before every sexual intercourse, he always drank contraceptive soup, without fail...
It's impossible that she is pregnant.
Maybe he was overthinking it.
But Xie Chen's face still didn't look very good. Since it concerned her, he had to be extra cautious.
If only...
just in case…
His thoughts sank into a deeper abyss of coldness.
I can still clearly remember the feeling of losing her that day.
Xie Chen suddenly closed his eyes.
It must not be that result.

After dinner, it really started snowing heavily outside.
Xie Chen's expression remained normal: "I have something to do and need to go back to Chengming Palace. I will be back soon."
This situation has happened in the past.
So Pei Tingyue didn’t ask any more questions?
She glanced at the sky outside, went into the bedroom, found a dark-colored cloak, and put it on him, saying, "Don't catch a cold."
Xie Chen nodded and stepped into the snow.
Arrived at the back of Chengming Palace.
He immediately summoned Xia Yuanpan.
"I'm asking you, is that contraceptive medicine really foolproof?"
I have been using this medicine for more than three years. Now I am asked this question again. Judge Xia pondered for a long time before deciding how to answer.
"In theory, if a man drinks the medicine, the woman won't get pregnant. However, all medicines in this world are not suitable for long-term use. If taken for a long time, the efficacy of the medicine will be greatly reduced, and this medicine is no exception."
As he was speaking, Judge Xia suddenly realized what was happening and said in surprise, "Could it be that the Imperial Concubine Chen..."
Xie Chen's brows were grim, and his tone was even colder and more decisive. "In recent days, Concubine Chen has been in a bad mood, sleepy and weak, and has no appetite."
The more Judge Xia listened, the more frightened he became.
This is very similar to the symptoms of pregnancy in women.
Especially, it is exactly the same as the state of Concubine Chen when she was pregnant last time.
Just by listening to it, there is a high probability that...
Xie Chen watched his head lower and lower, his heart sinking. His temples were throbbing, and his aura was becoming increasingly terrifying.
The thought of that possibility caused a surge of violent panic in his heart.
Finally, Xie Chen kicked over the hexagonal incense burner with Taotie pattern beside him. In the dust and ashes, his face was cold and terrifying.
"Tomorrow, go to Chengning Palace to check my pulse and take Concubine Chen's pulse. If you find out anything, you should know what to say and what not to say."
