Chapter 190 The Sad Person

The news that Yanning Palace had summoned Doctor Yu soon reached Tongming Palace.

As usual, Hawking Chi was still working at his desk reviewing memorials. The only difference was that he would often look up in the direction of the warm pavilion.

The little princess is now placed there.

When Xu An walked in, Hawking's first reaction was:

"What happened to the little princess?"

Xu An was startled, then quickly shook his head, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the little princess is fine now, you don't have to worry too much."

It was no wonder that Huo Jinchi was worried. The child was born prematurely and was very weak. President Jiang said that the child would be in danger in the next few days and needed to be carefully looked after.

He breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What's that?"

Xu Ancai then told the story of how Doctor Zhang Yu had been called to the Yanning Palace.

"Dr. Zhang Yu said that Xi was frightened yesterday and was a little nervous, so he added some tranquilizers to the usual medicine."

Xu An raised his eyes to look at the emperor, and then said, "Also, Xi Ying thought of herself because of Concubine Liu's death. She was worried that if she got pregnant in the future, she would end up like Concubine Liu."

"Nonsense!" Huo Jinchi couldn't stand hearing such words and immediately frowned.

But his face froze afterwards, as he remembered that she might not be pregnant at this time.

Isn’t this just “wild imagination”?

Huo Jinchi suddenly felt a dull pain in his chest. He held the pen and closed his eyes for a long time before he said in a harsh voice, "What did Zhang Zhian say?"

"Doctor Zhang Yu told Xi Ying not to worry. Given Xi Ying's current body condition, it will take at least two years for her to become pregnant." Xu An lowered his eyes, not daring to look at the emperor's expression, and his tone was full of caution.

"That's fine, that's fine..."

Hawking Chi said this twice, and then sighed softly.

He couldn't help but think of the little princess in the warm pavilion again, and what the Queen Mother said yesterday.

Huo Jinchi understood and thought clearly that she wanted to raise the little princess with the queen to increase her bargaining chips.

Perhaps the death of Concubine Liu was closely related to the Queen Mother.

Selfishly, he wanted Yun Qin to raise the child. Whether it was for the sake of benefit, for the little princess, or for her future, she was a good candidate.

But Huo Jinchi also knew that she had already taken enough of the share for him.

He couldn't force the little princess on her and make her situation more difficult.

Hawking Chi sighed softly and waved his hand to let Xu An leave.

Xu An left the hall with his eyes lowered, but the emperor's sigh was still lingering in his ears.

Although he couldn't guess what the emperor was thinking, he clearly remembered that even the death of Concubine Liu could not make the emperor sigh so heavily and decadently.

Xu An's expression also became a little heavy, and he waved for Xiao Dezi to come over.

"Go to Yanning Palace and tell her that our emperor is sad and that only Xi Ying can make him feel relieved. Let her come and see him."

For a moment, Xiao Dezi thought Xu An had seen through something.

Seeing that he looked normal, he heaved a sigh of relief and whispered, "I'll go right away."

——

After hearing what Xiao Dezi said, Yun Qin's expression remained calm.

sad?

The emperor will naturally be sad.

Now that Lady Liu is gone, and he will never see her again, he realizes the good in her that he had never seen or appreciated before. No matter how much he disliked her before, now all he can think of are her good points.

The more you think about it, the sadder you become, right?

But she wasn't suffering from any serious illness, nor did she have any saintly complex, so she didn't have to watch him being sad for another woman, or take the trouble to comfort him.

"No." Yun Qin refused outright, but under Xiao Dezi's gaze, she slowed down her tone and said, "I'm not feeling well."

Xiao Dezi nodded and whispered, "I will bring you the promise."

Yun Qin nodded slightly.

The truth that she can understand is also understood by the concubines in the harem, and someone will rush forward to comfort the emperor.

He probably won't be sad for too long.

Xiao Dezi's coming gave him the opportunity to pass on the message.

However, things turned out just as Yun Qin and Rong Xin had expected. After Su Yue's death, the emperor was naturally furious and asked Xu An to investigate personally.

But it is not known what was found out.

As for the specific content of the conversation between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, he was not clear.

Xiao Dezi said, "After the Empress Dowager left, the Emperor seemed very unhappy. Xu An specifically ordered us to serve him carefully. The palace was even bright all night long. It seemed that the Emperor did not sleep all night."

He had of course sensed something. It was strange that he could sleep well considering that his mother was plotting to murder his concubines.

Yun Qin even felt a little sympathetic towards Huo Jinchi.

She turned to Rong Xin and said, "Ask the kitchen to make some shredded chicken noodles for Xiao Dezi to take back."

"You just tell the emperor to eat well and put his health first."

Finally, Xiao Dezi took the noodles back to Yuqian.

Xu An looked very disappointed, but Xi admitted that he was not feeling well, so he could do nothing but send the noodles to the emperor.

But he did not dare to say that he was the one who asked someone to invite Xi Daying, and only said that it was sent from Yanning Palace.

Huo Jinchi naturally felt comfortable. He hadn't eaten much since yesterday, so he finished the noodles neatly.

He had some regrets about meeting Yun Qin, but given the current situation, he suppressed his emotion.

Some people can hold themselves back, but some can't.

As Yunqin expected, no one in the harem wanted the emperor to be sad for Concubine Liu for too long.

As soon as lunch was over, someone went to the front of the temple.

The first one is Concubine De.

Her reason was reasonable. After all, the emperor had already handed over the funeral of Concubine Liu to her.

"Your Majesty, please accept my condolences and don't be too sad. Sister Liu doesn't want you to be like this either." Concubine De advised softly.

Xu An, who was serving beside him, secretly glanced at Huo Jinchi's expression and felt an indescribable admiration for Concubine De.

I don't know how she could say such hurtful words to the emperor's expressionless face.

Huo Jinchi was looking at the drafted imperial edict and did not react to Concubine De's words, not even a response.

Concubine De was not embarrassed at all. She just continued to look at the emperor tenderly, waiting for him to speak.

"In addition to the title of noble concubine, you should also be given the title of Yijia." Huo Jinchi finally raised his eyes and said to her, "You have discussed it with the queen. If it is possible, then let's decide."

Concubine De remained calm and responded respectfully. After receiving the imperial edict, she asked, "Why don't you see the little princess?"

"In the side hall." Huo Jinchi glanced at her and asked, "How is the eldest prince? Can you handle it?"

"The eldest prince is considerate of me. Everything is fine." Defei smiled, but decided not to mention the little princess again.

She could tell that the emperor's words were a warning to her not to set her sights on the little princess.

Lady Liu is so lucky that the emperor loves this child so much...
