No rush.
His good mother had tricked him in his past life, and he didn't want to break ties with her so soon in this life.
He wanted to see the "surprised" look on her face when she learned that the women were pregnant.
I also want to know why she is so afraid of him having a child.
Chen Huaizhi, seeing that it was about time, got up and was about to leave when Xiao Lanchuan called him back.
"Show her."
Chen Huaizhi looked around; the hall was empty, no one was there.
Thinking about Xiao Lanchuan's recent mental instability, Chen Huaizhi felt a little uneasy. Could it be that he had seen a ghost?
"Your Majesty, please don't frighten me..."
Xiao Lanchuan skimmed the foam off the tea leaves and glanced at him with a gentle smile.
Chen Huaizhi felt a jolt in his heart.
Having followed Xiao Lanchuan for a year, he had come to understand his temperament; the gentler Xiao Lanchuan's smile was often the most dangerous.
He quickly smiled apologetically, "Are you Miss Nanzhi?"
It should be.
It's strange, though. He used to follow Xiao Lanchuan around like a lackey, so why is he nowhere to be seen today?
Has his heart condition flared up again?
I think of Nanzhi's heart ailment.
Chen Huaizhi felt troubled.
Although it wasn't difficult to treat, Xiao Lanchuan was too abnormal. He would threaten her from time to time, and Chen Huaizhi was worried that Xiao Nanzhi, who looked so docile and cute like a rabbit, would be scared to death by him.
It's okay that she was terrified.
The important thing is that Xiao Lanchuan seems to really like this little rabbit. What if it goes crazy and hurts him if it dies?
But when Chen Huaizhi went to take his pulse, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Why is this little rabbit sleeping on the dragon bed?
Are the curtains still drawn?
The more he talked about it, the more something seemed off.
He secretly glanced at Xiao Lanchuan and saw that he seemed to be in a good mood, but his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was worried about something. He understood.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, everything is fine. Miss Nanzhi is getting stronger and stronger, and she can do some strenuous physical work now."
"Her injuries?"
"I will prescribe some medicine; just apply it to her and she'll be fine."
Xiao Lanchuan nodded calmly: "Get lost."
Chen Huaizhi knew that his words had touched his heart.
He said that how could a dignified emperor have the kindness to care about a palace maid's heart ailment and even make him come to give her acupuncture every day.
So that's what they were thinking.
Actually, it's not impossible to treat that condition without medical intervention.
He has seen too many people act recklessly for their own selfish desires.
But is Xiao Lanchuan's attitude because he's afraid of killing the little rabbit in one go?
He glanced at the shadowy figure behind the curtain.
I really don't know whether this is a blessing or a curse for her.
Not long after Chen Huaizhi left, Nanzhi woke up.
With Xiao Lanchuan gone, she felt sore all over and weak.
Hearing the commotion, Dai Xue hurriedly came in from outside.
She lifted the curtain and instinctively reached out to help Nanzhi, but when she saw Nanzhi, she froze.
Nan Zhi half-opened her eyelids, with faint traces of red still remaining at the corners of her eyes. Her lips were slightly swollen, and her body was covered with red marks, like plum blossoms blooming in the snow, each one exuding a deadly allure.
She seemed unaware of how alluring she looked.
Her brows were tightly furrowed, and her small, fair hands were weakly covering her lower abdomen, as if she was in great pain.
Dai Xue, of course, knew what had happened last night.
I just didn't expect it to be this intense.
"Doctor Chen prescribed some medicine; let Daixue apply it to you."
Dai Xue turned around and went out to get the ointment.
Nanzhi rubbed her lower abdomen and waited quietly for Daixue to return.
Soon, footsteps could be heard outside.
Nanzhi was a little embarrassed: "Give me the medicine, I can do it myself."
There was no sound outside.
She called out again, "Dai Xue?"
The curtain was suddenly lifted, and she stared blankly at the tall man in front of her.
He looked like he'd been stunned.
But soon, she realized something, and shrank into the blanket like a quail, her face flushed, and called to him in a whisper.
"His Majesty."
Xiao Lanchuan recalled that last night, she was just as shy, clinging to his neck and calling his name again and again. Her voice was tearful, like a seductive enchantress, threatening to take one's life.
He looked at her flushed face, his eyes deepening: "I will apply the medicine for you."
The girl exclaimed in surprise.
He found her adorable and wanted to tease her even more.
"Pull back the blanket."
The girl bit her lip, feeling embarrassed, and huddled under the covers, too afraid to move.
But in the end, she slowly pulled the blanket back, closed her eyes, and dared not look at him.
Xiao Lanchuan looked at the marks on her body, his eyes unusually deep.
Finally, when his hand landed on her lower abdomen, he could clearly feel Nanzhi trembling slightly.
Xiao Lanchuan looked at her: "Can you still fit in?"
Nanzhi:……
She really didn't want to understand immediately.
Not long after Chen Huaizhi left Shangyang Palace, he encountered Eunuch Xia from Xianxi Palace.
He looked around and, seeing that no one was watching, followed Eunuch Xia to Xianxi Palace, where he saw the Empress Dowager copying scriptures.
After bowing, the Empress Dowager asked, "How has His Majesty's health been lately?"
"Your Majesty, His Majesty's health is not seriously affected recently, but it is still very difficult for him to conceive a child."
The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "That's good."
"You've been working hard lately. When you have time, get rid of those human pigs, otherwise I get annoyed just thinking about them."
Although he had been turned into a human pig, he could no longer say anything.
But the Empress Dowager always preferred to eliminate problems before they were completely eradicated.
Eunuch Xia brought over a lot of silver notes, which Chen Huaizhi rolled up and stuffed into his sleeve.
