Chapter 1983 If you choose the imperial concubine——
"She has hidden quite a few things from the Emperor."
"What's going on?"
“…”
Xue Ling hesitated for a moment, then looked at Xue Yun's surprised and solemn expression. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Forget it. It's better if you don't know about this."
"Um?"
Xue Ling thought it over and said, "You are going to accompany the emperor and the imperial concubine back to the capital this time and become a royal physician in the Imperial Hospital. The less you know, the safer you will be."
“…”
"The water in the palace is too deep."
Xue Yun originally wanted to ask more questions, but after hearing the last sentence, he hesitated.
That’s right.
From the time when the imperial concubine was framed and suffered from severe morning sickness, to the time when Duke Cheng fell ill for no apparent reason but was not even allowed to investigate the cause, she had a vague feeling.
The water in the palace is too deep.
In other words, it is not in the palace, but around these people, there are too many schemes and plots, and if you are not careful, you will be plotted against.
Xue Ling added, "I'm just reminding you that the Imperial Concubine is the Emperor's favorite concubine. Things are very complicated around her. Even though she's favored now, who knows what the future holds. If you—if you follow them back to the capital to become a royal physician, don't get too close to her."
“…”
"I'm worried you'll be implicated."
Xue Yun glanced at her.
She didn't know what Xue Ling had heard or seen, but she knew in her heart that something bad had happened regarding the imperial concubine.
That's why I say that.
She hesitated for a moment before saying, "But she's six months pregnant now, and when I took her pulse, I noticed she had some old injuries from her previous pregnancies."
“…”
"She has to take good care of this baby."
“…”
"Besides, the journey back home is bound to be bumpy even with all the care we take. I—"
Xue Ling asked, "Do you want to help her keep the baby?"
Xue Yun was silent for a moment before he said, "A doctor is like a parent. Ling'er, you know me well."
“…”
"When I was at home, my mother was afraid that others would discover my secret, so she didn't let me interact with anyone. That's why she set a rule that every consultation would cost a fortune. But deep down, I didn't want that."
“…”
"I studied medicine, isn't it to save the world and heal illnesses?"
Seeing her like this, Xue Ling was silent for a while before saying, "You are just soft-hearted."
Xue Yun smiled and said, "People who study medicine cannot be hard-hearted."
Xue Ling thought for a while before saying, "Then I'll tell you something. I heard that no concubine in the palace is alone. They form cliques and factions, and the people around them have to stand on their side."
“…”
"For example, if you really became an imperial physician and walked around in the harem, it would be inevitable that concubines would try to win you over and make you theirs."
“…”
"If you choose the Concubine—"
"how?"
Xue Ling was silent for a long time before she said, "Your Highness is indeed favored, but I, I am just worried that something bad will happen to you."
Xue Yun frowned slightly.
She didn't know what secrets Xue Ling knew about the imperial concubine that made her so worried that something might happen to her. She was also worried that something might happen to her if she had too much contact with the imperial concubine. But thinking back on her previous experiences, she guessed that she might have seen the imperial concubine having conflicts with the court officials and was dealing with those court officials behind the emperor's back.
She thought for a moment and said, "What if I don't stand in line?"
