Chapter 286 Losing Temper
After Shen Zhizhuo left, Shen Qing felt better. Seeing her appearance, Chunhua and Fangyun were also slightly relieved.
Although Chen Qing had a blank expression on her face, one could tell she was in pain, which made Chunhua and Fangyun anxious.
This person's injuries haven't healed yet and he's already feeling depressed. What should I do?
Xuanyuan Ling was paying attention to the situation with Chen Qing, and after hearing the news, he also went to find Chen Qing.
He came to check on her every day, but Shen Qing was previously immersed in his own thoughts and was somewhat indifferent to Xuanyuan Ling.
He was a little helpless about Shen Qing's condition and thought that today would be better.
Sure enough, this time when he came over, Shen Qing looked at him and came over.
Xuanyuan Ling had left her alone for several days, and now he felt relieved when she looked at him like this. He saw that her face was still a little pale, and her lips were no longer as pink as before, and also looked a little pale. Just looking at her, he remembered the handkerchief soaked in blood that day.
Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Ling's hand clenched slightly, he seemed to be able to feel the warmth of Shen Qing's blood.
At this time Chunhua was bringing in some food.
After eating two bowls of rice soup, Shen Qing's body gradually recovered. After all, the injury was not on his body. The wound on his neck caused excessive blood loss. After he regained consciousness, everything else was fine. The only thing was that he really couldn't eat anything slightly hard, otherwise it would affect the wound and cause more pain.
Therefore, in the past two days, the kitchen has been trying different ways to make porridge for Concubine Xi. It should be nourishing, delicious, and not greasy, for fear that she would not be satisfied with the food.
"Give it to me."
It was obvious that the Emperor was going to feed the Empress porridge personally.
Chunhua hurriedly handed the porridge respectfully to Xuanyuan Ling but did not retreat.
In the past, she stepped back because she was afraid of seeing the two of them being so affectionate as if no one was around. Now that Chen Qing is injured, it is impossible for them to be intimate. Chunhua is also worried about Chen Qing.
Ever since Chunhua experienced the scene where Chen Qing held the hairpin against her neck to threaten the assassin and saw Chen Qing almost lose his life, she now has a protective mentality towards Chen Qing. She dare not look away for a moment, for fear that she might have missed something that happened to Chen Qing.
Previously, Chen Qing felt sorry for them keeping watch at night, fearing that they would not get enough rest due to the long journey and would not have enough energy to serve during the day, so he did not ask them to keep watch at night. Now, she and Fang Yun even disobeyed Chen Qing's orders. They both kept watch for Chen Qing separately at night, and would not feel at ease until they checked on the slightest movement.
Xuanyuan Ling sat down in front of Shen Qing with the porridge. The porridge had also been cooled. Chunhua was careful in his work. The current temperature was just right for drinking and would not burn the person, so he scooped a spoonful and fed it to Shen Qing's mouth.
Shen Qing looked at him, remembering that she had just heard Xuanyuan Ling calling her, and she came back again, without even having time to see her parents more.
There's no way he can be in a good mood.
"I'll do it myself."
Xuanyuan Ling knew that she was still unhappy. She had great principles and was even willing to commit suicide for them, but she also had a bad temper. He had long been accustomed to her arrogance and bad temper, not to mention that she was experiencing life and death at this moment, so it was normal for her to make a fuss.
I couldn't help but coax her: "You are still injured, let me do it."
Seeing that he still didn't obey her, Shen Qing felt even more unhappy. She felt aggrieved: "Still hurt, still hurt, how did I get this injury? Won't you protect me?"
The tone of her words was not very good. Chunhua had never heard Shen Qing speak so presumptuously before. Although it was true, she felt uneasy when she heard it. Even if the queen was injured for the sake of justice, the emperor was still the emperor after all.
She didn't dare to breathe, but the next moment she heard Xuanyuan Ling say, "Yes, I didn't protect you well."
Xuanyuan Ling felt that it was normal for Shen Qing to be like this. It was good that he could lose his temper. He was just afraid that he would ignore others. It would be bad if there was any rift between the two of them because of this matter.
"Why should I worry so much? There's a knife at my neck, why should I worry about you being threatened?"
Chunhua's heart was lifted again.
Xuanyuan Ling felt so distressed when he saw her blaming herself: "Qingqing is too good, so you are worried about me. I didn't protect you well, and I didn't do enough."
Chunhua: "......"
"You just didn't do enough!" Shen Qing started to make a fuss: "You remembered to take me out, why didn't you expect that they would come back?"
Chunhua's calves felt a little weak.
Xuanyuan Ling was afraid that she would get emotional and hurt herself: "It's my fault, Qingqing, you will eat and live with me from now on, okay?"
He thought about it and decided to ask her to stay with him in the study during the time he was away, regardless of whether he was handling government affairs or not. Now that she was not with him, he could not see her and felt empty in his heart.
"How will others see me? I got hurt once and became arrogant, right?"
Xuanyuan Ling was at a loss: "No one dares to say anything." She was injured like this, and yet she still wanted people to accuse her of being spoiled and arrogant. That person was just looking for trouble.
But seeing the cotton cloth on her neck, I could only advise: "Be careful, don't let the wound break open."
Shen Qing was afraid of being reminded like this. It was painful to break it again, so he calmed down and pouted: "It hurts so much."
Xuanyuan Ling sighed: "Okay, okay, eat the porridge first, and I'll ask the imperial physician to check your injury later."
"It will leave scars, which are ugly."
"I asked the imperial physician to prescribe scar-removing ointment for you."
Chunhua: “…”
She thought she should go out. Listening to the conversation between the Emperor and the Empress, she felt that her life might be shortened.
Her heart was beating fast and furious. The queen was so bold and too presumptuous in front of the emperor. But the emperor was not angry at all.
How can I describe this feeling? Although the queen was injured, it looked like the emperor was hurt.
Who would dare to blame the emperor for being targeted by an assassin? She committed suicide for the emperor, so shouldn't she express her love for the emperor or say that this is what she should do for the emperor? But the queen refused to do that. She wanted to make a fuss, but the emperor was happy to coax her.
In fact, Shen Qing was not pretending at this moment. She really took advantage of the fact that Xuanyuan Ling would not do anything to her and acted unrestrainedly.
She even thought that since she was now a concubine, if Xuanyuan Ling disliked her and was unwilling to pamper her, she could just live a good life on her own. Anyway, her position as a concubine was secure, and Xuanyuan Ling would never demote her unless she did something stupid and hurt others and made him hate her.
She would not have done this in the past, at least she would not have lost her temper so much, but because of her parents' matter, she couldn't help it and vented her emotions on Xuanyuan Ling.
But it was also a coincidence.
In fact, Xuanyuan Ling has many loyal people, and many of them are willing to die for him. If Chen Qing had committed suicide out of righteousness and then acted righteously again now, or simply expressed how much suffering she had, it would make Xuanyuan Ling even more sad, and he would feel uncomfortable. He would feel guilty when he saw Chen Qing in the future, and there would be a gap between them. But after Chen Qing made such a fuss, Xuanyuan Ling felt that it was good for her to make a fuss. After making a fuss and saying it out, the matter could still be resolved. He liked her making a fuss like this.
