Chapter 170 The Little Queen Whose Wife Was Taken Away by the King (37)
The most senior imperial physician in the palace was quickly summoned to the emperor's bedroom.
Under Xia Lingxiao's extremely urgent gaze, Doctor Qi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead.
When he saw the beautiful woman with a woman's hair in a bun lying in the king's arms, he just took a quick glance and never dared to look up again.
Oh my god! This, this, this seems to be General Huo's wife. How could she be... with His Majesty?
When he was about to die, he knew that people in his line of work would sooner or later find out some royal secrets, and his reputation would be ruined!
However, in the next second, after Doctor Qi carefully examined Qingwu's physical condition, his face showed even more horror.
It’s over. His old bones will be buried here today.
"What's going on?" A majestic gaze swept over.
The elderly Doctor Qi felt his legs weaken, and he involuntarily fell to his knees. "Your Majesty, Madam..."
He paused for a moment, his mind racing as to how he could save his life.
After seeing Xia Lingxiao's solemn expression and the attitude of attaching great importance to this matter, he thought to himself that something was wrong and quickly changed his words, "My Lady, this is..."
As he spoke, he carefully observed Xia Lingxiao's reaction. He saw that Xia Lingxiao's originally tense face relaxed a little, but the next sentence was like a thunderclap, making his face turn pale.
"Your Majesty is already about three months pregnant."
"Pregnant?" Xia Lingxiao had never thought of this situation. He almost forgot that there was a possibility of this situation.
Qingwu...actually has Huo Tingye's child!
An indescribable jealousy and anger suddenly surged in my heart and spread rapidly like a prairie fire.
He clenched his fists tightly, digging his nails deep into his palms, as if only this could slightly ease the pain in his heart.
He was almost about to make another crazy decision.
Recalling the scene three years ago, he watched Qing Wu and Huo Tingye holding hands in front of him, their fingers interlocked, very close.
At that time, Huo Tingye did not hide the smug and provocative light in his eyes.
At that moment, Xia Lingxiao felt as if his heart was pierced by thousands of steel needles at the same time, causing him unbearable pain.
However, unexpectedly, three years later, even though Huo Tingye was not here, the pain that penetrated deep into his bones came over him again.
My heart feels like it's being cut by a knife, one cut after another, with no end in sight.
The people in the palace were naturally good at observing people's words and expressions. Doctor Qi, who was standing nearby, quickly noticed the emperor's complicated and extremely angry mood at the moment.
He bowed slightly and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, what medicine should I prepare?"
As for whether it is a pregnancy-maintaining drug or an abortion drug, it naturally depends entirely on Xia Lingxiao's wishes.
Xia Lingxiao fell silent. He suddenly felt that he was hopeless, because when he heard these words, the first thought that instantly popped into his mind was—
"If she uses drugs, will it cause harm to her body?"
Doctor Qi, who was standing nearby, was obviously not expecting Xia Lingxiao to ask such a question and was stunned.
After regaining his composure, he hesitated and slowly replied, "Your Majesty, any use of medication carries a certain risk of injury. Furthermore, Your Majesty's body is inherently delicate, requiring meticulous care and meticulous attention."
After hearing this, Xia Lingxiao made his decision without hesitation: "If that's the case, then there's no need for medication. Simply provide her with some methods that can strengthen her body and maintain a healthy pregnancy."
Then, he suddenly turned his head and cast a sharp gaze at Doctor Qi. He said in a deep voice, "Doctor Qi, within this palace, what can be said and what cannot be said; what can be done and what absolutely cannot be done. I believe you should know clearly, right?"
Facing Xia Lingxiao's scorching gaze, Imperial Physician Qi trembled all over and replied tremblingly, "Your Majesty, I will obey your Majesty's orders!"
Xia Lingxiao was distraught. He gently rubbed his forehead and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, you may leave. Any medicinal herbs that may benefit the Empress are at your disposal."
"Anything you want to use for her, just use my specifications. Don't worry about anything else."
Doctor Qi paused, his expression becoming more serious. He replied respectfully, "Yes."
But inwardly, he was complaining: What had he seen? The emperor was so affectionate that he wanted to raise a child for General Huo?
...He had clearly snatched his wife away from him.
Doctor Qi left quietly.
His eyes, filled with complex meanings, slowly fell on that beautiful face, scanning it inch by inch.
After a long time, a few almost imperceptible sighs came from his mouth.
It seemed like a fall out of helplessness and surrender.
"Awu...what should I do with you?"
At this moment, Qingwu, who was lying on the bed, had a very subtle curve at the corner of her mouth.
When Qingwu slowly woke up, the first thing that caught her eye was a lifelike dragon with bared fangs and claws circling above her head, and the surrounding area was full of dazzling bright yellow.
It was not until this moment that she woke up from her dream and realized that she was now in the palace.
——And on the emperor’s bed.
Qingwu felt flustered and at a loss.
She clearly felt a strange sensation in her lower abdomen. Her eyes flickered slightly, and her thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the feeling she had just experienced before she fainted...
Qingwu actually already knew it in her mind. Her period had not come for three months, and Huo Tingye was pestering her all day long. In fact, she should have been pregnant a long time ago, but Huo Tingye had been avoiding her.
But as early as half a year ago, Qingwu had replaced the contraceptive pills he was using without anyone noticing.
It's been three months, and the fetus is stable...
Huo Tingye has always been gentle to her. Even if it happens again in the future, he will not be too excessive, let alone let her get hurt. Her child is naturally healthy.
but......
After noticing that she had woken up, a maid carefully helped Qingwu to get up. Facing Qingwu's defensive eyes, she respectfully raised a bowl of black medicine above her head and presented it to Qingwu.
Upon seeing this, Qing Wu's face paled immediately, and she asked in a panic, "Where is His Majesty?"
The leading maid was startled for a moment, her eyes flickering for a few moments before she recalled the special instructions His Majesty had given her before leaving. She quickly and respectfully replied, "Your Majesty, His Majesty is currently busy handling government affairs in the Council Hall."
"If Your Majesty wishes to see His Majesty, I am willing to lead the way for you. However, I hope Your Majesty will take good care of yourself and not be careless in the slightest."
Qing Wu coldly rejected the idea. "I'm not from the palace."
The maid could only kneel down and say: "His Majesty calls you Empress, so you are the Empress."
After saying that, the palace maid bent down deeply, with her forehead pressed against the ground, not daring to look up at Qingwu.
