Chapter 222: Oolong

Before Doctor Zhang Yu finished taking the patient's pulse, Huo Jinchi suddenly came to Yanning Palace.

Apparently, he was alarmed by the news that Yanning Palace had called in the doctor.

He walked in quickly, lifted his coat and sat down next to Yun Qin, suppressing her movements to get up, with a bit of anxiety in his eyes.

"What's wrong?"

On the way here, Huo Jinchi thought of many possibilities and even wondered if there was something wrong with the wine he drank last night.

"It's not a big deal." Yun Qin looked at him dumbfounded, "Why did you alarm the emperor?"

After she finished speaking, she went to see Xu An. The ability of this god of whistleblower was becoming more and more powerful.

Xu An lowered his eyes and pretended not to notice Yun Qin's gaze. The emperor had specifically ordered that all matters in Yanning Palace, no matter how big or small, must be reported.

He was just doing what he was told.

"How is it?" Hawking asked Dr. Zhang Yu.

Doctor Zhang Yu took his hand off Yun Qin's wrist, his expression still complicated, and said, "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with your health. It's just that you are not getting enough Qi and blood. In addition, it's spring, so you are prone to drowsiness, which is why you are a little sleepy."

"It turns out it's not..." Rong Xin said halfway and swallowed the last few words.

But it did not escape Huo Jinchi's ears, he looked up at her, "What do you mean it wasn't?"

Rong Xin was a little embarrassed after making such a big mistake and didn't know how to start talking for a while.

Yun Qin was just stunned for a moment, but she didn't feel disappointed. She even felt relieved. After all, she didn't have this idea in the first place, and it was not a good time to have a child now.

Seeing Rong Xin embarrassed, Yun Qin took over the conversation and told Huo Jinchi about it as a joke.

"She was worried about my health but didn't want to alarm the emperor. Please don't blame her." Yun Qin did not forget to excuse Rong Xin.

Only then did Huo Jinchi suddenly understand the complexity in Zhang Zhian's eyes.

She has never been a reckless person. If she didn't really have doubts in her heart, why would she ask Zhang Zhian to come over.

Is it really as indifferent as it appears?

Huo Jinchi looked into her smiling eyes and for the first time hoped that it would be best if she remained as heartless as she was.

But she was the most sensitive person, and she had the most sleep sessions with the emperor in the harem. Sooner or later, she would realize that something was wrong.

Is it time to tell her the truth?

It was only when Yun Qin saw that he had a gloomy face without a trace of smile on his face that she realized that this was not good news for him.

Maybe he would expect her to have a child, or maybe, like her, he didn't want her to have a child right now, making the situation more complicated.

Yun Qin's smile faded a little, and she changed her attitude a little, "Well, actually I am a little disappointed." She gestured with her fingers and emphasized, "Really only a little."

"Doctor Zhang Yu, please don't tell anyone else, otherwise I will lose all my face." She said to Doctor Zhang Yu again.

Huo Jinchi took her gesturing hand and held it in his palm.

"Did you hear that?"

Doctor Zhang Yu immediately responded, "Yes, I will never tell anyone!"

"Go get the medicine."

After Doctor Zhang Yu left and everyone in the hall retreated, Huo Jinchi reached out and pulled Yun Qin into his arms.

Seeing that he remained silent, the atmosphere became somewhat stagnant. Yun Qin couldn't help but raise her eyes and look at his slightly tense jaw.

Only then did I realize that his unhappiness was mixed with a bit of sadness.

It was strange that he seemed sadder than she was, even though her sadness was fake.

——

Afterwards, in the Yiyang Palace.

"What do you mean you can't find out?" Concubine De frowned and looked at the maid Furong. "The fact that she asked for the doctor to come to see him shocked the emperor, and he even stayed in her palace for an entire afternoon. Can you tell me what disease she has? Why can't we find out the truth from the doctor in the hospital?"

Furong nodded tremblingly, "Your Majesty, Doctor Zhang Yu only said it was a minor illness and didn't reveal anything. He didn't say anything and he was watching the pulse case very closely, so we really don't know the specific situation."

"Is it all over with just one sentence of 'I don't know'?" Concubine De said gloomily, "Think of a solution for me!"

"yes."

After reprimanding the people, Concubine De calmed down a little, and began to analyze in her mind.

Doctor Zhang Yu didn't reveal a single word, which clearly indicated that the emperor had specifically instructed him to do so.

But what exactly is the situation that would make the emperor deliberately conceal it?

"Is it possible?" Defei's eyes suddenly sharpened.

There is only one possibility for the emperor to attach so much importance to it and deliberately conceal it, that is:

Concubine Xi is pregnant!

Defei clenched her fists tightly in an instant, and she didn't even notice that her nails were broken. It was not until Furong raised her eyes and called out "Empress" that she realized it and lowered her eyes to look at her bloody fingers.

Furong wanted to go forward to help her, but was pushed away by Concubine De.

She was furious and hysterical as she yelled at Furong: "Why, why is it so easy for everyone, why can't I, why!"

Because she gave birth to the eldest prince, the emperor visited her Yiyang Palace most often and she slept with him the most often.

But why, why couldn't she get pregnant again?

Furong was silent, but she had understood what Concubine De said.

The Queen suspects that Concubine Xi is pregnant.

Even she felt that this possibility was very high, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why Dr. Zhang Yu kept his mouth shut.

Defei smashed two more sets of tea sets before she calmed down a little despite her violently heaving chest.

She smiled suddenly, and then burst into laughter again.

The crazy look made Furong take a lot of effort not to take a step back.

De Fei was still laughing, but her tone was cold, "Being pregnant is not a skill, being able to give birth to a baby safely is a real skill!"

Furong bit her lip and said, "I think we shouldn't be too hasty about this matter. Concubine Xi may not really be pregnant."

Concubine De snorted coldly, "Even if it doesn't happen this time, she will be favored like this sooner or later. Some things still need to be done first!"

"Then what does your Majesty plan to do?" Furong asked.

"What should we do?" The smile on Concubine De's lips turned cold. "The emperor has already become suspicious of me. We must not let this matter get dirty."

"Spread the news. Xipin is so eye-catching now, there must be many people who want her dead. When the time comes, we can just watch the fire from the other side of the river and enjoy the show."

"Yes, your majesty." Furong nodded in response.

De Fei added: "Be more tidy and don't let anyone know that the news came out of Yiyang Palace."

"I understand. I will go now."

"Go ahead."

Watching Furong leave, Concubine De's eyes were cold.

She thought Concubine Xi was so smart, but she didn't think about it. She was so favored. If she became pregnant again, who in the harem would tolerate her?

The Queen Mother will probably kill her first!
