Xuan Ling took the prescription, his eyes lingered on her face for a moment, and pity welled up in his heart.
Look carefully,
"I know that every medicine and every annotation here is the result of your hard work.
Yanyan, thank you for your hard work. I will immediately order a large-scale trial."
Sheng Xiyan saw that he still had a worried look on his face, so she comforted him softly:
"Your Majesty, rest assured. The plague will soon dissipate."
She paused and pointed to another prescription.
"I have read the pulse report given to Mo by the Imperial Hospital and I suspect that he is not really infected with the epidemic.
This is the prescription I wrote for him, it may help him recover soon."
Xuan Ling took the prescription and was moved.
He reached out and pulled her into his arms, gently pinching her side, and his warm breath brushed past her ears:
"Yan Yan is thoughtful. I will order someone to send the recipe to the palace for Mo to use."
His slender fingers gently stroked her delicate neck, his voice low and gentle,
"I had a bad tone yesterday and scared you. I apologize."
Sheng Xiyan leaned on his shoulder, a trace of grievance in her eyes, but she still forced a smile:
"Your Majesty, I feel that... distance creates beauty.
My stay in the Yangxin Palace has not only attracted criticism but also always made the Emperor angry. This is really wrong.
I want to go back to Guanju Palace. Your Majesty, please come visit me when you are not busy. Is that okay?"
Xuan Ling hugged her tightly, his palm gently covering her bulging pregnant belly, feeling a pang of pain in his heart.
Knowing she was still angry, he couldn't bear to force her and sighed softly:
"In that case, you should return to Guanju Palace first. In a few days, we will discuss where you will live to take care of your pregnancy."
He then warned, "Your two servants need to observe outside the palace for a period of time before they can enter. Let Mingyue serve you personally first.
You must be extremely careful when eating and traveling, and consult me about everything, understand?"
Sheng Xiyan nodded meekly:
"I understand. I will be careful not to cause trouble to the emperor."
Xuan Ling chuckled, bit her earlobe, and said jokingly: "Nonsense, we are husband and wife, how can it be troublesome?"
He let go of her, his eyes gentle, "Don't you want some sweet soup? I've ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare it and send it to you later."
Sheng Xiyan's eyes flashed with surprise: "Your Majesty, how did you know that I wanted to eat sweet soup?"
Xuan Ling leaned closer, touching her nose with his, and smiled even deeper: "Of course I know."
After a pause, he continued, "When I'm free in a few days, I'll take you to Yongshou Palace to see if there's anything else you'd like to buy."
Sheng Xiyan nodded gently, "Okay."
She stood up and left the Yangxin Palace.
There were complex emotions in Xuan Ling's eyes.
Eunuch Fu stepped forward and said:
"Your Majesty, Marquis Wu'an has already prepared the sweet soup in the imperial kitchen an hour ago, and Your Majesty will be able to enjoy it when you return to Guanju Palace.
In addition, Marquis Wu'an requested permission to allow the young master to stay in the Marquis' mansion for a few more days."
Xuan Ling said nothing, just picked up the memorial, his eyes deep.
At nightfall, in the Cining Palace, just as the Empress Dowager was about to have her meal, Concubine Jia hurried in with a middle-aged woman wearing a gauze hat.
As soon as the woman entered the room, she knelt down and cried, "Sister, help me!"
The Empress Dowager frowned, her eyes swept over Concubine Jia, and her voice was cold and stern: "How did you enter the palace during the epidemic?"
Concubine Jia knelt down and kowtowed, her voice trembling:
"Aunt, it was Luan'er who asked mother to enter the palace as a maid. My little brother... my little brother was arrested!"
Mrs. Su cried until she was hoarse:
"Someone from the government office came and took Yu'er away without saying a word. They said she would be beheaded at 3:30 PM tomorrow! Sister, please save Yu'er!"
The Empress Dowager's eyes darkened and her voice was icy cold: "Why? The government office wouldn't arrest anyone without reason."
Madam Su hesitated, and Concubine Jia continued in a low voice:
"My little brother...I went to Hanyu Temple to steal the medicine prescription, but I definitely didn't set the fire! I don't know why this crime was put on you."
Madam Su grabbed the Empress Dowager's phoenix robe and cried heartbreakingly:
"Sister, please go and ask the Emperor to revoke his order! He is my only child, and he is the only heir in the Su family for three generations!"
The Empress Dowager's expression suddenly changed, and her voice was as cold as ice:
"He was so foolish and audacious that he nearly caused harm to Concubine Chen and the dragon fetus! It is not excessive for the emperor to execute him!"
Madam Su's face turned pale and her voice suddenly rose:
"Sister, I have no credit but I have worked hard to help you raise your daughter. You must save Yu'er!"
The Empress Dowager was furious and slammed her palm on the table:
"Shut up! What nonsense are you talking about!"
