Chapter 88 Something is wrong
Xiao Jingfan: "I have snow on my body so that you won't get cold."
I see.
Concubine Yun felt relieved and put all those little doubts behind her.
The two entered the hall one after the other.
As soon as Concubine Yun sat down, she heard Xiao Jingfan say, "Zhou Yuande, bring the medicine over. I need to personally watch my beloved concubine drink it before I can feel at ease."
The steaming hot medicine soup was still as bitter and smelly as before, even the bowl was the same.
Concubine Yun: “…”
Xiao Jingfan looked over in confusion, "Why isn't my beloved drinking?"
"Your Majesty!" Concubine Yun said coquettishly, "This medicine is too bitter. I can't drink it. Is Doctor Wu deliberately teasing me?"
"Don't worry." Smelling the bitter taste, Xiao Jingfan pushed the medicine bowl towards her with disdain. "I've just asked, and the prescription the Imperial Hospital gave you is the best."
As the medicine bowl approached, the bitter and foul smell suddenly became stronger.
Yun Fei wanted to vomit again, but considering that Xiao Jingfan was right next to her, vomiting was really indecent.
So, she just turned her head slightly, barely avoiding the unpleasant smell of medicine, and said in a delicate voice: "But I can't drink it~"
"I'll feed you." Xiao Jingfan stood up, took the medicine bowl in one hand, and held Yun Fei's chin with the other hand. Before Yun Fei could react, he put the medicine bowl to his lips and poured it in.
Yun Fei: ???
Everyone:!!!
Everyone was so shocked that their eyes almost popped out.
Is this how you feed medicine? This is your beloved concubine, not your enemy!
Xiao Jingfan not only fed Yun Fei the medicine, but also lifted her chin to prevent her from spitting it out.
I don’t know if it was because she was shocked or scared, but although Yun Fei felt nauseous, she didn’t vomit.
Xiao Jingfan waited for a moment, and when he saw that she didn't move, he let go of his hand and wiped it on the hem of her clothes inconspicuously.
Concubine Yun stared blankly at the extraordinarily handsome man in front of her.
who is she?
Where is she?
What is she doing?
"His Majesty?"
Is there something wrong with the way you fed the medicine just now?
"My beloved concubine can't drink the medicine to maintain pregnancy, and I am worried." Xiao Jingfan's eyebrows are gentle, and the doting smile on the corners of his lips instantly dazzled Concubine Yun. "My beloved concubine, promise me that you will drink the medicine well from now on, okay?"
Concubine Yun: "Okay."
"Not missing three meals a day?"
Concubine Yun: "Yes."
"You're going to force yourself to drink even though you can't finish it?"
Concubine Yun: "Okay..."
Hey, wait, something seems wrong again?
Having achieved his goal, Xiao Jingfan's smile faded, returning to his usual expressionless look. "Since my beloved concubine has agreed, then I must keep my word. Otherwise, it would be deceiving the emperor."
Yun Fei: ???
Wait, something is wrong, right?!
"My beloved concubine is pregnant. Now that you have taken the medicine, you should rest well. I still have some government affairs to attend to, so I will not accompany you."
Xiao Jingfan came suddenly and left suddenly, leaving Yun Fei in a daze, thinking she had just had a dream.
"Chunlian, has His Majesty just been here?"
Chunlian nodded.
Not only did he come, he also fed you... no, he fed you a big bowl of medicine.
Yun Fei realized it belatedly and smacked her lips, feeling bitter.
She immediately frowned.
Three meals a day, not drinking is deceiving the king.
There really is something wrong here!
Concubine Yun's brain had turned to mush after taking a bowl of medicine. She decided to give up thinking for herself and asked the senior palace maid beside her, "Chunlian, do you think His Majesty's behavior just now was a little strange?"
Chunlian: “…”
How should she answer this?
"Why are you staring at me?" Concubine Yun frowned. "I'm asking you a question!"
Chunlian had no choice but to say, "Your Majesty is also concerned about the Empress."
"Really?" Concubine Yun still felt something was wrong. "How could Your Majesty not be able to tell the difference between feeding medicine and injecting it?"
Chunlian: "Your Majesty was born noble. How could you have ever done such a servant job as feeding medicine? Perhaps Your Majesty thinks that this is how medicine is fed."
Concubine Yun accepted this explanation quite reluctantly.
She carefully recalled Xiao Jingfan's words and expression just now. Apart from the point of forcing him to take the medicine, everything else was fine.
When Concubine Yun thought about the bitter medicine she would have to take three times a day before the miscarriage, she felt sick.
She had to arrange the miscarriage as soon as possible.
At the same time, Feiyu Palace.
Zhu Qing ran in to report, "Your Majesty went to Huayin Palace and left after less than a quarter of an hour."
"Leaving?" Concubine Xiao said, "Let's go and find out what happened over there."
Zhu Qing took the order and left, and came back in less than a cup of tea.
"Empress Yun thought the medicine sent by the Imperial Hospital was too bitter and refused to drink it. Your Majesty received the news and rushed to Huayin Palace to watch Empress Yun drink the medicine. Empress Yun still found it too bitter and refused to drink it, so Your Majesty had to feed her himself."
Concubine Xiao's face darkened. "Your Majesty really fed her the medicine personally?"
Zhu Qing nodded, the young eunuch in Huayin Palace was right.
"Bitch!" Concubine Xiao slapped the table, causing half of the freshly ground powder in the silver plate to spill out.
Zhu Qing went forward obediently to clean up.
"Master, His Majesty values this pregnancy of Concubine Yun very much. If there is any mistake, His Majesty will definitely investigate it thoroughly."
"I heard from the people in the palace that His Majesty is surrounded by many secret guards who appear and disappear at will. Nothing that happens in the palace escapes their scrutiny."
How could Concubine Xiao not hear the persuasive intent in this? But now that Concubine Yun has won such favor from His Majesty before she even gave birth to a child, what will happen when she actually gives birth to a prince?
Where will she be able to stay then?
"I have made up my mind. These days, please inquire more about the news of Huayin Palace and report to me in time."
Zhu Qing sighed inwardly and accepted the order, "Yes."

Snow is falling.
On the way back to Yangxin Palace, Xiao Jingfan suddenly asked to turn around and said, "Go to Xinning Palace."
Zhou Yuande was stunned, thinking that his Majesty suddenly remembered the one from Xuexiangyuan.
But it doesn't look like that. I think he went to see Chen Chongyi.
He shouted, "Go to Xinning Palace!"
The imperial carriage arrived at the gate of Xinning Palace and Xiao Jingfan got off the sedan chair.
"His Majesty has arrived!"
Shen Chongyi, who had received the news, had already come out from the main hall to greet Xiao Jingfan. He knelt down and saluted, "Your Majesty, may you be well and safe."
"Get up." Xiao Jingfan walked in and sat down on the long couch with sparrow branch patterns by the window.
Chen Chongyi turned around, took the hot tea on the tray, and personally held it in front of Xiao Jingfan: "It's late at night and the snow is heavy. Your Majesty, please have a cup of calming tea to warm your body."
Xiao Jingfan took it and nodded, "Sit down and talk."
Chen Chongyi sat down across from the small table with an elegant posture, a smile on her gentle and beautiful face, gentle without any aggressiveness, like a lotus blooming in the moonlight on a summer night, quiet and leisurely.
Looking at such a face, Xiao Jingfan couldn't think of anything to connect the word "drugging" to her.
"Your Majesty, why are you staring at me like this?" Shen Chongyi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by the man opposite her. She raised her hand and touched her face, "But is there something dirty on my face?"
"No." Xiao Jingfan turned to look at the furnishings in the room, glancing at the screen embroidered with the four gentlemen: plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum. "Is it new?"
"It turns out that the door was accidentally dropped by a servant in the palace and broken. This one was just brought in by the Imperial Household Department. I'm astonished that Your Majesty still remembered it."
Xiao Jingfan raised his eyebrows, "Are you blaming me for not coming for so long?"
"I dare not." Although she said she dared not, Shen Chongyi did not stand up. She still sat there with a smile on her face, as if she was not afraid of Xiao Jingfan's anger at all.
She knew that Xiao Jingfan liked her like this the most, and might even reward her with something to compensate her.
