Chapter 238 Abortion Pills
His gaze was so oppressive that Judge Xia broke out in a cold sweat. He immediately kowtowed heavily, "Your humble servant understands."
Xie Chen didn't want to see anyone right now. He shouted coldly, "Get out!"
Judge Xia quickly stood up and took his leave.
Xie Chen sat behind the desk, his brows grim and his whole body filled with an indelible chill.
The candlelight was dim, and the flickering light and shadow cast on the side of his face made him even more elusive.
After a long time, he called Liang Yao in a hoarse voice, "Go tell Concubine Chen that I won't be coming over tonight."
Liang Yao glanced calmly at the mess in the hall and replied, "I obey your command."
Xie Chen waved his hand and asked him to leave.
Alone again, I fell into loneliness.
Seeing this, Liang Yao quietly left the hall.
After closing the palace door, he sighed.
An eunuch asked, "Why is the chief steward sighing?"
Liang Yao looked at the waning moon in the sky, squinted his eyes and said, "I'm afraid these peaceful days will be disturbed again. Be careful and wait."
After saying this, he took people to deliver the message.

The next morning.
The emperor, who had been sitting in silence all night, got up, washed up and went to Chengning Palace.
Pei Tingyue had already gotten up. Seeing him, she smiled and said, "This morning we have the crab meat porridge that the emperor loves."
She blew it cool herself and handed it over.
Xie Chen tried his best to control his emotions, took it and said with a faint smile, "Tingyue has finally served me this time, I will drink this bowl of wine."
Pei Tingyue watched him eat with a smile.
I still didn't eat much.
Seeing this, a ball of air was stuck in Xie Chen's chest, unable to go up or down, almost making him die of discomfort.
However, he showed no expression on his face, and continued to chat and talk as usual, not forgetting his Grade 4 lessons.
Today, the two of them did not personally send Xiao Si to Wenhua Hall.
He only sent him to the palace gate and watched him get on the sedan chair before returning to the palace.
Not long after, Yun Shu came in. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Judge Xia is here. He wants to check the emperor's pulse as per the rules."
Pei Tingyue had no doubts: "Please invite Judge Xia in."
Yun Shu bowed and said, "Yes."
She stepped out and invited Xia Yuanpan in.
Judge Xia first paid his respects, then took Xie Chen's pulse and reported back, "The emperor is in good health."
Xie Chen nodded slightly: "Please give it to the imperial concubine by the way."
Pei Tingyue smiled and said, "No need for that, it's almost the fifteenth day, and Judge Ning will check my pulse."
Currently, the chief judge of the Imperial Hospital, Xia Yuanpan, was the emperor's personal physician. Deputy Yuanpan Ning was Pei Tingyue's, and the other deputy was the Queen Mother Qin's. The remaining concubines all had their own physicians.
Xie Chen didn't seem to care much and said casually, "Dean Xia is a very skilled doctor. It won't take much time to take my pulse."
Pei Tingyue thought about it and said in a gentle voice, "Then I will obey the emperor."
She stretched out her jade-like wrist.
Judge Xia placed a handkerchief on her slender wrist before taking her hand. After a long pause, he replied, "The Imperial Concubine is in excellent health and there is nothing wrong with her."
Pei Tingyue smiled sweetly at Xie Chen, "Your Majesty, can rest assured now?"
Xie Chen pulled her into his arms and said, "I'm worried that you'll be exhausted from all the palace work."
Pei Tingyue nuzzled into his arms: "I will pay attention."
She wasn't busy originally, but she became busy recently because she was planning a big move.
But these words go without saying.
Xie Chen held the back of her head in his arms and said softly, "You need to rest properly, otherwise I will be heartbroken."
Although he was answering Pei Tingyue's questions, his eyes inadvertently met with Xia Yuanpan's.
Judge Xia closed his eyes tightly.
After a night of anxiety, the trial finally took place.
At this moment, Xie Chen felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. All the sounds in his ears faded away, leaving only a constant buzzing sound.
His Tingyue was really pregnant.
Does that mean that she might leave him?
Xie Chen was extremely scared at this moment.
He could only increase the strength in his hands and hug the woman tightly, as if this suffocating feeling would disappear only when he integrated her into his bones and blood.
No.
He can't live without her.
This possibility must not happen.
He wants to cut it off.
Pei Tingyue was held tightly in his arms for a long time and almost couldn't breathe. She had to hit him before he let her go.
Pei Tingyue noticed his loss of composure and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with the emperor today? Did something happen?"
Xie Chen shook his head and said in a deep voice, "It's okay. I'm just overthinking it. I'm just overly worried."
Pei Tingyue smiled and said, "Why are you so worried? I promise Your Majesty that I will take a good rest from now on. Your Majesty, don't worry."
She just thought that she was so tired from handling palace affairs in the past two days that her shoulders and hands hurt, which made him worried, so he made this promise.
At the same time, she found it somewhat funny that this man was becoming more and more anxious and worried, just like when she had a difficult childbirth.
As expected, the next moment, Xie Chen hugged her and said in a muffled voice, "I am always uneasy."
Pei Tingyue patiently comforted him: "I am here with His Majesty now. What else can His Majesty be worried about?"
Xie Chen moved away slightly, touched her little face and said, "Will Tingyue leave me for other things?"
Pei Tingyue smiled warmly: "Didn't I tell the emperor that in my heart, the emperor is the most important. I will never abandon the emperor no matter what."
Xie Chen held her in his arms again and whispered, "Okay, I understand."
After staying in Chengning Palace for a while, Xie Chen went back again with an excuse.
The moment he stepped out of the palace gate, his eyes were immediately filled with bloodshot, and the veins on the back of his hands spread, which was extremely horrifying.
*
The emperor was angry.
Chengming Palace was in a mess.
Liang Yao and Xia Yuanpan knelt in the hall and dared not breathe.
Only when there was nothing left to smash in the hall did Xie Chen stop with red eyes and heavy breathing.
This was the first time he had lost his composure in more than eight years since he took office.
Xie Chen sat on the couch in frustration, his head lowered in thought.
The shadow of the last difficult childbirth still appears in front of my eyes from time to time.
He didn't dare to gamble again.
Last time, it was God who had mercy on him and returned his Tingyue to him. This time, he couldn't lose his Tingyue.
They still have so many years of happy life ahead of them, he hasn't given her that status yet, they still have Xiao Si.
Even for these reasons, his Tingyue would not allow any mistakes.
At a certain moment, Xie Chen made up his mind.
A flash of water flashed in his eyes, and then was firmly suppressed, replaced by a cold look. He spoke hoarsely and ordered Judge Xia,
"Prepare two bowls of medicine."
"A bowl of sterilizing medicine, and a bowl of... abortion pills!"
