Chapter 2139 Familiar Scent 2
The next few days were spent in a calm amidst turbulent undercurrents.
The only one who was unaware of such undercurrents was probably Xue Yun. But even though she had made up her mind to remain neutral and not ask too much about what was happening inside and outside the palace, she could still feel a little vaguely uneasy.
She could only try her best not to think too much and just do her two things well every day.
To help the imperial concubine keep her pregnancy safe.
Detoxify the emperor.
On this day, around noon, she picked up her medicine box and walked towards the Yiku Palace with the eunuch Xiao Dongzi.
When passing by the Imperial Garden, I found many gardeners tending flowers and plants there.
By this month, almost all the summer flowers and plants have withered. The withered yellow leaves and fallen petals will make people feel defeated and ominous, so gardeners should clear away these flowers and plants as soon as possible and plant chrysanthemums and other plants instead.
When Xue Yun walked over, he saw large clumps of flowers and trees being moved away.
She sighed softly and said, "If plants and trees could sense things, would they be thankful that they finally blossomed for a whole summer before returning to the earth? Or would they be sad that they blossomed for a whole summer but eventually returned to the earth?"
“…”
Xiao Dongzi was standing aside, listening to this, feeling a little confused.
He had never been to school and did not feel sad about the passing of time. He was happy as long as he could live a good life every day. He had no time to worry about plants and trees.
Seeing him looking at him blankly, Xue Yun also smiled.
In fact, she was also asking herself this question.
Are you willing to follow your heart and pursue what you love, even if you may end up bruised and battered, or even lose your life?
Or, continue to look at him from afar silently?
This was the question she had been asking herself silently since she first realized she had different feelings for Zhu Feng. However, for so long, she could not answer it, and she did not even have the courage to face it.
I asked questions through flowers and trees, but in the end I still couldn't get an answer.
She smiled bitterly in her heart and was about to move forward, but her eyes were attracted by a red object among the withered yellow leaves.
Go over and take a look——
It turned out to be the last rose.
Although it has almost withered, the last few petals are still stubbornly clinging to the pistil, as if clinging to their last bit of brilliant time.
She sighed softly and reached out, ready to tear the petals off.
Don't be attached, don't be delusional.
Return quietly to the earth, to where you should go.
But just as her hand was about to touch the petals, she suddenly felt a sharp pain on her fingertips and cried out, "Ah!"
When he pulled his hand back, he saw that the thorn of the rose had pricked his fingertip and a drop of bright red blood came out.
She put her finger in her mouth and sucked it.
Xiao Dongzi hurried forward: "Master Xue, are you okay?"
"fine."
Xue Yun shook his head. It was not a serious injury, just blood on the fingertips. If he went to Yiku Palace to check the imperial concubine's pulse later, he was afraid that the condition would not be good.
After all, the imperial concubine was pregnant and could not see blood.
She remembered that there was a box of ointment she had prepared in the medicine box, so she took it out and hurriedly applied a little on her fingertips. The bleeding stopped quickly and the pain subsided.
However, it was getting late, so she packed her things immediately.
"Hurry up and don't go too late. The Imperial Concubine needs to rest."
"yes."
The two of them quickly arrived at the Yiku Palace. However, as soon as they entered the palace, they heard a charming laugh coming from inside. Xue Yun immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The new concubines in the harem came to pay their respects to her and talk to her.
Ever since they heard that the imperial concubine demoted the newly arrived concubine because of her name when she came to pay her respects to her, these people have been surrounding her every day like bees to nectar since they were appointed.
All he said were flattering words.
Xue Yun was not used to hearing such words. Every time he came to check on the imperial concubine's pulse, he felt a headache when he heard those stiff flatteries.
However, no matter how much of a headache it is, you have to go in.
This was what the emperor had instructed her to do. She must take care of Concubine Gu Hao's pregnancy.
So she took a deep breath, told Tingfu to go along with her, and then she walked into the Yiku Palace.
As soon as I entered, I saw a room full of beauties.
Each of them was dressed in silk and satin, with pearls and jade on their heads, and they were all beautiful and charming. Seeing them all gathered in one room was so dazzling that it was hard to open your eyes.
When everyone heard that she was coming, they stopped talking and laughing for a moment and turned to look at her.
Xue Yun walked in and kowtowed to Nan Yan, who was sitting on the couch: "Your humble servant greets the Imperial Concubine and all the ladies."
Nan Yan said, "Doctor Xue, please stand up."
"Thank you, Madam."
At this moment, a lady named Chen beside her glanced at her and said, "Is Imperial Physician Xue here to check the Imperial Concubine's pulse again?"
Xue Yun lowered his head and said, "Yes."
"You must be careful. This baby of the Queen is so precious. If anything goes wrong, none of us will forgive you."
Everyone immediately said, "Yes."
"Your Majesty will definitely give birth to a prince for the Emperor this time."
"When the time comes, Your Majesty will be honored by your son, and the Emperor will surely favor You even more."
For a moment, everyone started talking at once.
Xue Yun lowered his head and could only endure it silently.
Although Nan Yan maintained a faint, calm smile on her face, she could no longer hold on at this moment.
It is not easy to play a role that is powerful in the harem and can intimidate everyone.
She now felt a little sympathy for Xu Miaoyin in the past.
So this is what it feels like to have so many people talking around you.
It's like buying five hundred sparrows and raising them in the house. They'll be so noisy that they'll kill you.
But she couldn't get angry, so she just smiled, which seemed "enigmatic" to everyone else, and said, "Alright, all of you, stop talking. Doctor Xue, please."
Only then did Xue Yun lower his head and carry the medicine box over.
As usual, she took out the cushion and placed it on the table. When Nan Yan rolled up her sleeves and put her hand on it, she gently felt Nan Yan's pulse and examined it carefully for a while.
Just after the diagnosis, I heard Nan Yan cry out "Ouch".
Xue Yun hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, Madam?"
Nan Yan said: "It's nothing, just my stomach is a little tight."
Xue Yun said, "This is common before childbirth. Your Majesty, don't worry. If your abdomen becomes more congested, please send someone to call me immediately."
"good."
Nan Yan nodded with relief.
She watched Xue Yun pack up his things and put down her sleeves. Just as she was about to retract her hand to support her chin, her brows suddenly furrowed.
"Um?"
At the tip of her nose, she smelled a faint, almost inaudible fragrance.
A familiar scent.
