831 Leaving the Palace, Xie Family Bows Their Heads

"Pregnancy-preserving medicine? You said that the pregnancy-preserving medicine you gave me saved me and the little prince?" Although Imperial Noble Consort Xie was still very weak, she immediately became much more energetic after hearing the news that they were out of danger. She raised her hand tremblingly, touched her lower abdomen, confirmed that her belly was bulging, and a loving smile appeared on her face.

Her baby is fine.

At the same time, the news that Imperial Noble Consort Xie entrusted Feng Qingchen with the pregnancy-preserving medicine to save the dragon seed spread in the palace, and Feng Qingchen once again became the object of flattery for the women in the harem.

Imperial Noble Concubine Xie is out of danger, but she did not say that Feng Qingchen could leave. Imperial Noble Concubine Xie now trusts no one but Feng Qingchen. She only dares to touch anything she eats, wears and uses after Feng Qingchen has checked it.

It was not for the sake of vying for favor, but for the baby in her belly. As the pregnancy went on, Noble Concubine Xie's feelings for the baby in her belly grew deeper.

When the imperial physician said she was going to lose the baby, what she cared about was not whether she would fall out of favor or lose a helper in her fight for favor, but the baby in her belly.

She is the child's mother. The child is a part of her life. The child has been with her when she was in the most difficult times. She cannot lose him. She must take care of the child no matter what the cost.

It was because of her maternal love that she was able to hold on after hearing the imperial physician's cold verdict, and she held on until Feng Qingchen came. She knew that with Feng Qingchen coming, both she and her child would be saved.

Facts have proved that she was right. Feng Qingchen would not let her down. Thinking of this, Imperial Noble Concubine Xie smiled gratefully at Feng Qingchen again.

Feng Qingchen noticed the changes in Imperial Concubine Xie. She had not expected that this woman who was so absorbed in scheming could exude such a strong maternal love.

This is good too, at least the child will be happy, and his mother finally doesn't treat him as a tool.

Thanks to the Imperial Concubine's transformation, Feng Qingchen gradually felt better, so staying to take care of her was not too painful, but...

Faced with the nobles who came one after another under the pretext of visiting Imperial Concubine Xie, asking her for medical treatment, secret recipes for having children, and help with pregnancy, Feng Qingchen's face darkened.

If someone else were to be flattered and treated with courtesy by the emperor's woman, they might be very happy and proud. However, Feng Qingchen only felt that it was troublesome, one trouble after another.

"Qingchen, I am the third lady of the He Xueshi family. I have heard of your name since I was in the boudoir. You are so amazing. You actually cured the eldest young master's eye disease. Can you help me? I have been feeling weak recently and can't eat." After saying that, she looked at Feng Qingchen expectantly, waiting for Feng Qingchen to speak.

"Qingchen, my father is the governor-general of Guangdong and Guangxi. If you have any problem, just go to my father. He will definitely help you. Um... do you still have that fertility-enhancing medicine?" He said the last sentence in a very small voice.

"Qingchen, I, I want you to take a look at me, okay? My stomach has been aching for the past two days, and I don't know if it's because the baby is disobedient. Please..."

These concubines were quite smart. In front of Feng Qingchen, each of them kept a very humble attitude. Even if Feng Qingchen refused, they would not make things difficult for her. They would just bring more expensive gifts the next day.

Through the events of the Xie family and Imperial Concubine Xie, they finally realized how important a good female doctor is.

Haven’t you seen that Imperial Noble Concubine Xie and the Second Lady of the Xie family had been unable to conceive until they met Feng Qingchen, then they both became pregnant; haven’t you seen that Imperial Noble Concubine Xie’s child was in danger, until Feng Qingchen took action, and then the child was saved; haven’t you seen that the pregnant women in the harem were all from families with whom Feng Qingchen had a good relationship.

The daughter of the Duke of Ningguo got a great advantage, otherwise she would not have had the chance to conceive so early. The Duke of Ningguo must have been very lucky in his previous life, as his wife and daughter both received help from Feng Qingchen in this life.

If it was about the flattery of concubines, Feng Qingchen could still deal with it reluctantly. However, when the three concubines, Xian, De and Shu, wanted Feng Qingchen to regulate their bodies, either openly or secretly, Feng Qingchen finally couldn't stand it anymore.

Damn, she is a surgeon, not a gynecologist, and certainly not a doctor who treats infertility. What do these women in the palace think of her as, a fertility goddess?

After staying in the palace for seven days, Imperial Noble Concubine Xie's condition had stabilized, but she needed to stay in bed to rest. Feng Qingchen examined Imperial Noble Concubine Xie early and suggested leaving the palace.

I thought Imperial Concubine Xie would act pretentiously, but she chuckled and said, "I was wondering, Qingchen, how long you can endure, but it turns out you only endured for seven days. You can't do this. The most important thing in the harem is to learn the word patience."

"Your Majesty, you..." Feng Qingchen was frightened by the approachable tone of Concubine Xie. When did this woman, who was as noble as the empress and as arrogant as the empress, become so easy to talk to?

"What's wrong? Are you scared? Do you like to see me acting superior?" His long hair was disheveled, he was only wearing a shirt, and his body was still a little weak. The arrogant look was gone, and there was only calmness and indifference between his eyebrows.

If the change in Noble Consort Xie's attitude towards her unborn child was a big step forward, then this moment was a transformation. She completely restrained her edge and became calm.

Feng Qingchen discovered it a few days ago, but the two sides did not communicate other than the illness. Feng Qingchen thought that Imperial Noble Concubine Xie was weak. Now it seems that Imperial Noble Concubine Xie has seen through it.

Feng Qingchen smiled and said sincerely: "No, Your Majesty, this is very good. It is good for Your Majesty and for the little prince."

The previous Noble Consort Xie was stunningly beautiful, but she lacked a bit of humanity. This is the real thing.

"You are so honest. Aren't you afraid that I will punish you?" Imperial Noble Concubine Xie admired Feng Qingchen from beginning to end, otherwise she would not have chosen to cooperate with her.

Feng Qingchen is very real. No matter who Xie Yankai is or what his identity is, Feng Qingchen is still Feng Qingchen.

"Your Majesty is not such a stingy person." Imperial Noble Consort Xie was a smart woman. Whether in the past or now, it would be good for her and the Xie family to be more open-minded.

Imperial Noble Consort Xie chuckled: "You know who I am, Qingchen. I, Xie Yankai, am not a generous person. I am a villain who will repay my grudges, and I will also repay my favors. You saved the lives of me, Xie Yankai, and my son that day, not the lives of the Imperial Noble Consort and the prince. I, Xie Yankai, will remember this favor of yours." She will definitely repay him one day, this is the promise of the daughter of the Xie family.

Feng Qingchen smiled and didn't take it to heart, but praised: "Your Majesty's name is beautiful."

Knowing that Feng Qingchen deliberately changed the subject, Imperial Noble Consort Xie did not point it out. Anyway, she just remembered Feng Qingchen's kindness. She smiled at Feng Qingchen and told the origin of her name: "My name was given to me by my grandfather. Among the girls of my generation, I was the only one who was lucky enough to be named by my grandfather. But no matter how nice it sounds, it will be useless after entering this deep palace."

There were only the emperor's concubines in the palace, not the daughter of the Xie family, so it was not that she wanted to fight, but that she had to fight.

"Your Majesty is just yourself now." Feng Qingchen admitted that Imperial Noble Concubine Xie was much cuter like this, but she was just admitting it. She would not do anything wrong just because of Imperial Noble Concubine Xie's change.

She, Feng Qingchen, is Feng Qingchen. No matter who the woman in front of her is, it doesn't matter to her. Her attitude towards Imperial Noble Concubine Xie will not change. She will not be foolish enough to become friends with Imperial Noble Concubine Xie just because of these two sentences.

Feng Qingchen's refusal was not obvious, but Imperial Noble Consort Xie was a smart person, and she also admired Feng Qingchen more. It was not easy to recognize one's position and to put oneself in the right position. She only understood it now...

Imperial Noble Concubine Xie did not make things difficult for Feng Qingchen. She asked Feng Qingchen to pack her things. She reported to the Emperor and sent someone to escort Feng Qingchen out of the palace.

Feng Qingchen thanked him and left. When leaving, she heard Imperial Noble Consort Xie say faintly, "Qingchen, is there any way to resolve the grudge between you and the Xie family? I don't want you to target the Xie family. You know, the Xie family has not done any substantial harm to you. If possible, I hope you can reconcile with the Xie family. If you make a request, the Xie family will try their best to meet it."

Feng Qingchen paused, said nothing, and walked out of the hall. She didn't understand what Imperial Concubine Xie meant by this move, but... the Xie family could put aside their pride in front of her and give her the scabbard as an apology. She didn't think what Imperial Concubine Xie said made any sense.

Noble Concubine Xie looked at Feng Qingchen's elegant back, a hint of bitterness and envy flashed in her eyes. She also wanted to leave, to leave this cold and cannibalistic harem, but from the first day she stepped into the harem, she was destined to never have freedom and never be able to leave these high walls.

Imperial Concubine Xie touched her belly and said quietly: "This Feng Qingchen is really a love-hate relationship. It would have been great if you were born a few years earlier. With our personalities, we should have become close friends. With a close friend like you, I, Xie Yankai, would not..."

I will not step into this deep palace, I will not compete with a group of women for a man, I will not lose myself in the harem struggle, I will not end up like this, because you see it better than me, you will tell me that it is not worth it.

The lives of Xie Yankai and her son were worthless in the eyes of that emperor. She was just a chess piece used by the emperor to win over the noble families. It was a pity that although she understood her identity as a chess piece, she refused to accept her fate.

It was not until the emperor heard that she might die twice and did not get angry or worried, nor did he order an investigation into the cause of her miscarriage, that she realized that to the emperor, she, Xie Yankai, was just another woman in the harem. One more or one less would not make much difference.

No one cared about her life or death, or the life or death of her child. What the Xie family said about insisting on Feng Qingchen entering the palace was all lies. It was Xie Yankai who did not want to die. It was Xie Yankai who risked her life and insisted on having Feng Qingchen enter the palace. The Xie family knew that she was about to die, and they only wanted to send another daughter of the Xie family in. They did not care about her life or death.
