Chapter 289 Some Postscript
Xuanyuan Ling made a lot of noise when he was feeding her a bowl of porridge, but he was fine after it was over, at least he was fed.
Shen Qing pouted while eating: "I have been eating porridge for so many days, when can I eat something else."
"You need to take care of it a little longer." Xuanyuan Ling was also thinking about her love of food: "I'll ask the doctor if I can add some other food you like. You can't eat it by yourself."
Shen Qing looked at him unhappily.
"Okay, okay, you won't cheat." Xuanyuan Ling was also helpless. What else could he do? Could he not obey her now?
Chunhua came over and went out while cleaning up the dishes. She really didn't dare to come back.
Even when the Emperor and His Majesty didn't do anything intimate, it was really hard for ordinary people to get along with them!
Xuanyuan Ling mentioned it again: "Get well soon."
After Shen Qing vented his emotions, he calmed down and exhaled a breath of air: “Isn’t the emperor angry with me?”
Xuanyuan Ling saw that she had finished her temper before asking, and then he was really angry and laughed: "How can I be angry with you?"
He couldn't bear to look at her, what was going on? In her eyes, she was already like this, could he still get angry for her and really be angry with her?
Shen Qing blinked twice: "Then I want to rest."
Xuanyuan Ling: “…”
This is clearly a way of chasing people away, which shows that they don't like him.
Well, now she needs to rest as much as possible. I hope she recovers soon.
He said unhappily: "I won't bother you."
Shen Qing watched him stand up and wanted to laugh. He walked a few steps and turned back to glare at her, but still walked away obediently.
He is really indulgent.
She didn't blame him for committing suicide because she was worried about him. Human power is limited. Although Xuanyuan Ling is the emperor, he is not someone who can predict the consequences. How can he know the consequences? He has taken precautions, but someone still took advantage of the loophole. There is nothing he can do about it. As for the dilemma at that time, he couldn't let Xuanyuan Ling be threatened. Shen Qing understood it very well. That was the way of the times. Every era has the so-called general trend. He is the emperor and the rules are like this, so he can't be blamed.
It was true that she had complaints against him, but it was only because she was angry about asking her to come back, and he was not angry and just coaxed her into silence.
I have to say, it feels very heartwarming to have someone comfort you while you are venting your emotions.
Shen Qing thought, I won’t bother him next time. Well, getting angry is a waste of energy.
Xuanyuan Ling went out and said to Zhao Hai: "Concubine Xi is not happy to eat porridge after a few days, so ask the imperial chef to cook for her in different ways."
Zhao Hai felt sorry for the imperial chef, he had been very busy these days, since something happened to Concubine Xi, he had to take care of every detail, he couldn't let Concubine Xi make any mistakes, the diet and soup were of utmost importance, he had seen what Shen Qing ate every day and had had it checked, it could be said that every meal was different.
But Zhao Hai didn't say a word for the imperial chef and responded quickly: "Yes."
It’s not that he deliberately didn’t talk to the imperial chef. In fact, he had been given orders three or four times every day these days. The emperor would give an order whenever he thought of Concubine Xi, and give an order again whenever he thought of her. Maybe he didn’t realize it himself, but for Zhao Hai, well, it’s already numb. There’s no need to explain. Just agree to it. Now, no matter how hard he serves the emperor, he still feels it’s not enough.
Chen Qing's injury can't be healed in a short time. He was originally outside and the original plan was to stay in Lingzhou for a month. Now he has only been here for a few days and he was assassinated. Chen Qing was injured, although it was an external injury, but after all, he was in a coma for four days, which made people feel that Chen Qing was terminally ill, so the time for recuperation was extended.
Xuanyuan Ling simply extended his stay in Lingzhou.
Of course, the purpose of this external communication was to deal with the matter of Prince Lin, and the officials certainly had no objection, but they did pay some attention to other places.
This Concubine Xi is really different in the emperor's heart.
Yes, even if she doted on me before, things must be different after this.
Of course the officials had other intentions when they saw Concubine Xi being favored. Look, Shen Zhizhuo was summoned here. The assassination of the emperor had made such a big fuss, and now they saw that the emperor cared about Concubine Xi. They all hoped that they could show up in front of the emperor or that he would not lose his temper and vent his anger on them.
Shen Zhizhuo was summoned here. He is the one who can contact Concubine Xi and ask Concubine Xi to say good things to the emperor.
So they didn't dare to bribe openly, but those who held much higher positions than Shen Zhizhuo were very polite to Shen Zhizhuo. This politeness was not only because they wanted to say good things about Concubine Xi, but also because they saw that this would benefit Concubine Xi's entire family.
Even the officials at the time were envious.
Some of those who were chosen to enter the palace were innocent.
In the palace, not showing up in front of the emperor to save face for the family is a small matter. Some things will bring disaster to the whole family, such as Concubine Xi. It is really a blessing from her ancestors. Many people even hope that Chen Qing will go home to see their daughters and use Chen Qing to educate their daughters. Of course, this is all a story for later.
In short, Shen Zhizhuo was numb in the face of the sudden enthusiasm of all the officials in Lingzhou. He certainly wouldn't say anything in front of Shen Qing. As for if the emperor really wanted to reward him because of Shen Qing, he also thought about refusing.
His sister paid for this with her life, and he should feel guilty about it.
Shen Zhizhuo stayed with Shen Qing for more than ten days until the wound on Shen Qing's neck scabbed over. He then asked to leave because he had other things waiting for him to do. Xuanyuan Ling agreed after hearing this.
After Xuanyuan Ling finished dealing with Prince Lin's affairs, the scab on Chen Qing's neck also fell off. It looked like he had fully recovered. After all, it was an external injury. Chen Qing looked healthy and had no problems, but: "It's so ugly."
I thought it would leave a scar, and it really did.
When Xuanyuan Ling came over that day, he saw Chen Qing looking at her neck in the mirror. She had bandaged the wound before, but later she had a tantrum and he wanted to see it, but she refused, saying that if he saw it, he would remember her ugliness.
Xuanyuan Ling had no way to deal with her, so today was the first time he saw the black scab fall off and reveal the original appearance of the scar. It was not ugly on her slender neck, but his heart ached when he saw it. It was such a long scar.
Shen Qing saw Xuanyuan Ling coming over from the mirror, and couldn't help but turn around, only to see Xuanyuan Ling's face in silence, so she raised her eyebrows: "If this scar can't be removed, would it look good if I get a tattoo on it to cover it up?"
Xuanyuan Ling was stunned for a moment: "It will be very painful."
"It's better than you seeing this scar with a droopy face as if you owe me something. If this goes on, I'm afraid the emperor will have some psychological trauma and will be afraid to see me in the future." Chen Qing said unhappily: "I've already gotten over it, why is the emperor still not getting over it? Do you really plan to not see me in the future? Then you can go."
Xuanyuan Ling's heart softened when he heard her words. Why did she care so much about him? It was obvious that she was the one who was wronged. Now did he still want her to comfort him? How could he bear to do that?
Xuanyuan Ling kissed her face, looked at the scar, and then gently touched it with his lips, as if he was afraid that she would feel pain: "Apply the ointment from the imperial physician. If it really can't be removed, just keep it. I feel more sorry for you when I look at it. Isn't that good?"
Shen Qing curled her lips: "Is it necessary to do this?"
Xuanyuan Ling's eyes were full of tenderness: "Well, you don't need it."
