Chapter 202: Restoration



More than ten days passed and the emperor's health gradually improved.

The war in the northern border has not yet ended, Chu Han is still in the hands of the enemy, Concubine Xian has been in tears all day long, King Ye is still ill, and the palace is filled with a murderous atmosphere.

The only thing that the palace maids and eunuchs had nothing to talk about was the fact that Concubine Hui was suddenly ignored by the emperor.

No one knew why, but it seemed as if overnight, Concubine Hui's favor was gone, and the emperor never summoned her again.

Qin Xuelin was not in a hurry about this. She stayed in her bedroom all day to take care of her pregnancy, and went for a walk in the Imperial Garden when she had nothing to do.

Qin Xuelin, who came here full of hatred, suddenly became gentle because there was a flesh and blood body in her belly.

So much so that when the emperor had just recovered from a serious illness and was in a good mood taking a walk in the imperial garden, he almost didn't recognize Qin Xuelin when he first saw her standing under a plum tree picking plum blossoms.

Qin Xuelin was dressed in plain clothes, without any makeup. Her hair was simply pinned behind her head with a wooden hairpin. She held a bunch of red plums in her hand, which made her skin look whiter than snow and her eyebrows and eyes look like a painting.

The emperor could not help but think of a saying: "Water lilies emerge from clear water, and nature is the source of their beauty."

A true beauty does not need too many hairpins, rings or jewelry to embellish herself. A wooden hairpin is enough. The emperor suddenly remembered the appearance of the person when she first entered the palace, and his heart began to beat for the first time in a long time.

Qin Xuelin did not notice the footsteps approaching slowly from behind her. She thought it was the palace maid coming to tell her to go back, so she said without turning her head, "The plum blossoms are in full bloom this year. Come with me and pick a few branches to put in a vase for your enjoyment."

"Okay, I'll accompany you to break off the tree." The emperor's voice suddenly sounded behind her. Qin Xuelin turned back in surprise, and the red plum in her hand fell to the ground. The red plum was covered with snow, reflecting the eagerness in her eyes.

"Your Majesty! You..." Qin Xuelin was about to salute in a hurry, but the emperor was reluctant to do so and reached out to stop her.

"No need to be so polite. Don't you want to pick plum blossoms? Can I accompany you?"

Seeing the unusual tenderness on the emperor's face, Qin Xuelin naturally would not refuse and agreed with a blushing face.

All the way from the Imperial Garden to Qin Xuelin's bedroom, the Emperor held Qin Xuelin's hand the whole time and never let go. The palace was crowded with people and the news that Concubine Hui had regained favor spread quickly and soon spread throughout the palace.

Concubine Xian, who was already full of resentment, felt even worse after hearing the news. That night, screams of several palace maids were heard in Fenghua Palace.

Since then, the emperor stayed at Qin Xuelin's place every night. When people in the palace mentioned Qin Xuelin, they all said that Concubine Hui was very resourceful.

Although she had been clearly disliked by His Majesty, she was able to win His Majesty's heart again just by an accidental encounter in the Imperial Garden.

Qin Xuelin ignored the rumors outside and lived her own life behind closed doors. When the emperor came, she served him carefully, and when the emperor left, she was happy and at ease.

There has been unrest in the court recently, and the war in the northern border has been full of twists and turns. The emperor is obviously much more anxious. Qin Xuelin carefully comforts him, expressing her own thoughts from time to time, and helping the emperor to cheer up in a timely manner.

The emperor liked Qin Xuelin more and more, and gradually even his breakfast, lunch and dinner were prepared by Qin Xuelin.

A few days later, Lu Yanluo was worried about Qin Xuelin and planned to go to Qin Xuelin privately to check on her. However, before she reached the bedroom, she ran into Qin Xuelin and the emperor who were picking plum blossoms in the imperial garden.

Lu Yanluo hurriedly stopped and stood quietly on the side of the road, bowing: "Greetings, Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Qin Xuelin guessed that Lu Yanluo must have come for her, but because the emperor was right beside her, she had to pretend to be cold and curled her lips, ignoring Lu Yanluo.

The emperor was also very indifferent and said casually: "Get up, how come you have time to come to the palace today? Is the Night King's condition getting better?"

Lu Yanluo thought of a solution in a hurry, and lowered her head and replied: "The prince ordered me to go to the palace to visit the emperor on his behalf. The prince has always been concerned about your health, but the prince is really unable to move, so I can only do it for you. I hope the emperor will forgive me."

Hearing that Chu Xuan was still ill, the emperor immediately lost interest in continuing: "In that case, you will have to work harder. Go back to the palace and take good care of King Ye. I have Concubine Hui here, so you don't have to worry about me."

Seeing the opportunity, Lu Yanluo took the opportunity to leave.

But before she could leave, Qin Xuelin suddenly covered her chest and retched, her face turning pale. Lu Yanluo thought to herself that something was wrong.

The emperor was filled with surprise. He supported Qin Xuelin and turned to look at Lu Yanluo and said, "I think Concubine Hui is pregnant. Princess Ye knows medicine. Come back with me to the bedroom and let Concubine Hui take a look!"

Lu Yanluo stood up and took the opportunity to support Qin Xuelin, secretly holding her hand and calming her down. Sure enough, Qin Xuelin's complexion looked better.

Back in the bedroom, the emperor hurriedly asked Lu Yanluo to take his pulse. With expectation in his eyes, it can be seen that he really hopes Qin Xuelin is pregnant.

But Concubine Xian was still in the palace, and there were constant intrigues in the former and harem palaces. It was obviously not the best time to make the matter public, so Qin Xuelin chose to continue to conceal it.

Lu Yanluo stretched out her hand to feel the pulse, and after a while she said, "Has the Imperial Concubine been suffering from abdominal pain recently, and the pain is aggravated during the day? Do you often have night sweats at night?"

Qin Xuelin glanced at Liu Lu Yanluo, and immediately understood what she meant, and nodded: "Princess, your medical skills are superb. I have indeed been feeling a little uncomfortable recently, and I have not slept well at night."

"That's it, Your Majesty. The Queen is not pregnant. It's been freezing cold these days, and the cold has entered her body, causing her internal organs to become cold. This is why she's retching. She only needs to take some medicinal food to recover."

When the emperor heard that Qin Xuelin's vomiting was caused by physical reasons, he was obviously disappointed. He got up and left, making an excuse that he had something to do.

This actually made it easier for Lu Yanluo and Qin Xuelin to talk.

Lu Yanluo looked at the emperor's departing back and sneered, "Looking at his expression, it seems that he really hopes that you can give him a child."

Qin Xuelin laughed at herself and said, "It's just false feelings, don't take it seriously. Thanks to you today, otherwise my pregnancy would have been exposed."

Lu Yanluo shook her head, picked up a pen and wrote a prescription: "This prescription contains some mild tonic herbs. I secretly added some herbs that reduce morning sickness. It can help you relieve it a little. Once you get through the first three months, everything will be stable."

Qin Xuelin took the prescription and quickly asked someone to get the medicine. After boiling it, she drank it and indeed felt much better.

On the other hand, when the emperor heard that Lu Yanluo had written the prescription, he became suspicious, so he secretly sent someone to the Imperial Hospital to secretly look at Qin Xuelin's prescription.

Lu Yanluo was well prepared. The imperial physician looked at the prescription and couldn't see anything wrong with it. It was just a very simple tonic prescription and there was nothing wrong with it.

Only then did the emperor feel relieved.
