Work overtime

Li Beichen stared at Concubine Jing's hand holding his sleeve, calmly grabbed her and took it off, gently pressed it under his hand, and held it weakly.

Looking at the imperial physician kneeling on the ground, he asked in a warm voice: "What did the imperial physician say?"

The one who came today turned out to be a female imperial doctor. She looked like a lady in her twenties, with a neat and beautiful appearance. At first glance, she was born into a lady.

It was rare for a female doctor to appear in the palace, so Li Beichen looked at her a few more times and asked casually, "Which family are you descended from? What's your name?"

Concubine Jing felt very unhappy because of these glances. She always thought that the female doctor was deliberately trying to seduce the emperor. For example, why did she apply rouge on her eyebrows and wear ear beads when she was not a concubine?

"Reporting to your Majesty, I am a descendant of Sun Simiao. My surname is Sun and my last name is Jiahe." The female doctor lowered her eyes and replied in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.

Li Beichen nodded slightly, "The descendants of Sun Simiao should be very good at Qianjinke, which is very good. How is Concubine Jing's illness?"

Sun Jiahe replied calmly: "Reporting to your Majesty, your Majesty is pregnant, and you should rest for a month. I have already prescribed some anti-fetus medicine for your Majesty. But your Majesty said you should wait for the Emperor to come before you drink it."

She knew that all the concubines in the harem were not worry-free and generally loved to toss.

"Concubine Jing, what's going on?" Li Beichen's tone was very gentle, and there was no hint of anger.

But Sun Jiahe could hear an angry aura.

Concubine Jing said aggrievedly, "It's all her fault for making me blush."

Deliberately not mentioning names.

Li Beichen nodded and glared at the maids serving Concubine Jing: "Who came to see Concubine Jing before the scandal??? Who harmed Concubine Jing?"

Concubine Jing was confused for a while.

Donghong met Xie Cairen before, but it was Rui Bin who made her angry and heartbroken.

She didn't want to set the fire on Xie Guiren just yet, but she really shot herself in the foot.

He quickly changed the topic by himself.

"Your Majesty, that medicine smells so bitter. I don't want to drink it." Concubine Jing took out her hand, pulled Li Beichen's sleeve and begged.

Li Beichen stared at Concubine Jing, then turned to Sun Jiahe and ordered, "Mr. Sun, please give me the medicine."

Everyone thought Li Beichen was going to give the medicine himself.

Concubine Jing looked triumphant and put her other hand on her belly.I thought to myself, my child, you are really a lucky star for your mother and concubine, otherwise your mother and concubine would really not know how to coax the emperor.

Unexpectedly, Li Beichen took a sip of the medicine, and then said with a normal expression, "It's okay, it's not bitter. If you drink it in one gulp, you won't feel the bitterness anymore."

His tone was very gentle, as if he had all kinds of affection and love for Concubine Jing.Dr. Sun felt that the emperor was not as ruthless as the legend said.

This is his experience.The more bitter the medicine is, the more you have to hold it in one breath and drink it without pausing or waiting.Because the longer you wait, the more painful it becomes, and the longer you delay, the more painful it becomes.

Concubine Jing said disappointedly: "But I just feel so miserable."

Li Beichen slowly stirred the spoon and said calmly: "Don't you want to keep the child? If that's the case, Dr. Sun, please prescribe a prescription for draining the blood, something that won't be too harmful to the body."

Only then did Imperial Physician Sun discover that the emperor was so ruthless and would perish if he didn't obey.But Imperial Physician Sun thought this was good, not muddled, and decisive enough.

After Concubine Jing heard this, she did not expect that the emperor would be so cruel and ruthless. She felt like a thousand arrows piercing her heart. She felt uncomfortable in her heart and wanted to vomit. She quickly fell on the bed and vomited.

There was dirt splattered on the female doctor's hair and face.

Concubine Jing vomited so violently that her face turned pale. She grabbed the corner of the emperor's clothes and sobbed, "Please don't, your Majesty. I was wrong. I want this child."

Li Beichen frowned and looked at the female doctor whose face was stained, "Mr. Sun, go wash your face."

Then he looked at Concubine Jing and said in a warning tone: "In that case, don't fool around. Drink the medicine obediently. Be obedient."

Li Beichen carefully handed the bowl to Concubine Jing and wiped the stains from the corners of her mouth, "I remember that Concubine Xia's child died a few days ago because of great joy and sorrow."

Concubine Jing was holding the bowl, and her tears fell into the bowl.She didn't dare to do it again. She endured the pain of the medicine with tears in her eyes and drank it in one breath.

Her stomach continued to churn, and she still wanted to vomit, but she didn't dare to be willful anymore, so she forcefully suppressed the medicine.

At this time, Concubine Jing remembered Xie Guiren's words. She wanted to say that she gave up the power of the Sixth Palace to that bitch Jiang Yuebai. She moved her mouth several times, but she couldn't say it.

Seeing that Concubine Jing drank the medicine obediently, Li Beichen took the bowl and handed it to Imperial Physician Sun with a relieved smile, "Isn't this great? Listen to Imperial Physician Sun and take the medicine well every day and lie down well."

Concubine Jing struggled for a long time before she uttered these words, "I have something to tell the emperor."

As he spoke, he threw himself into Li Beichen's arms, wrapped his arms around his neck, and rested his head on his shoulder, which startled Li Beichen.

Li Beichen immediately greeted Dr. Sun who was standing aside, "If she suddenly pounces on me like this, will the child fall?"

Imperial Physician Sun hesitated for a moment, "Back to the Emperor, it's better to be careful since you've already seen red. The range of movements should not be too large."

"Doctor Sun said that the range of movements should not be too large. You'd better lie down." Li Beichen carefully laid Concubine Jing down.

Concubine Jing held Li Beichen's neck and did not let go.Li Beichen asked patiently, "Don't you have something to tell me?"

The two were so close that they could feel each other's breath.

"Doctor Sun, please step aside and wait outside the door."

After Imperial Physician Sun retired, Li Beichen said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Concubine Jing suddenly raised her body and pressed her lips against Li Beichen's lips.

This immediately violated Li Beichen's taboo, and he immediately lost his patience and opened her hand abruptly, "If you don't want to say it, don't say it."

The words that Concubine Jing had been brewing for a long time were blocked by Li Beichen.

Li Beichen sat up straight, and after a moment of silence, he said, "You have a good rest, and you don't have to worry about palace affairs. The preservation of the fetus is the most important thing. I will discuss with the queen what to do about this matter. You don't have to worry."

Concubine Jing looked at the emperor in disbelief. She had been sitting in that position for a whole day without covering her buttocks.

She regretted that she just couldn't bring herself to take the initiative and always wanted to have both ends, but she forgot that she didn't have the ability to take advantage of both ends.

If I had taken the initiative to speak up before, I would have gained the reputation of knowing the overall situation and knowing how to advance and retreat, and even gain some favor from the emperor.It's good now, the emperor has spoken, but she can't gain anything.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty." Concubine Jing squeezed out a smile and carefully held the Emperor's hand, "I know that the Emperor is doing this for my own good. I listen to your Majesty and stay in bed to raise your child."

Li Beichen took out his hand and said, "That's good. I'll go back to Qinzheng Hall first."

After taking two steps, he stopped and asked Biyue at the door, "Has anyone been here since your Majesty confirmed your happiness?"

Biyue said vaguely with a guilty conscience, "All the concubines from all the palaces have come to see the empress."

Li Beichen frowned slightly, "I'm leaving first. You, the queen, need to rest assured to raise your baby. No one is allowed to come in to visit without my permission. If anything goes wrong, you are the only one to ask!"

Li Beichen was obviously very caring and patient with her, but Concubine Jing was so uncomfortable that she wanted to cry.

While she was shedding tears silently, a beautiful handkerchief was handed to her.

Imperial Physician Sun smiled gently at her, "Your Majesty, wipe it quickly. If your eyes are swollen from crying, you will no longer be beautiful. Your Majesty will feel sorry for you."

Imperial Physician Sun thought that there was no woman in the harem who didn't care about her appearance, and said that doing so would "make her look less beautiful". It should be useful, right?

However, Concubine Jing cried even harder. Even she didn't know why, as if she had endless grievances.

Dr. Sun had no choice but to comfort her, "Ms. Concubine Jing, the Emperor cares so much about you and protects you so much. You have to take good care of the fetus and don't cry and be sad all the time. It's not good for the child."

Imperial Physician Sun thought to himself, if the women in the harem don't care about their appearance, they should care about their children, right?

Concubine Jing burst into tears and smiled, "Do you think the Emperor cares about me?"

It turns out that what the empress cares about is love.

Doctor Sun found the cause of the disease and prescribed the medicine: "Yes, empress. The emperor looks at you differently."

White lies are also good medicine, all for the purpose of curing diseases and saving lives.She just said it was different, but she didn't say why it was different.How you want to understand it depends on the person listening.

Concubine Jing smiled with satisfaction.She believed in Dr. Sun's onlooker's clarity.

As for who should be arranged to take Concubine Jing's place, Li Beichen sent someone to send a message to the Queen Mother, who had full authority to decide.

From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want Jiang Yuebai to sit in this position at this time.The limelight is overwhelming, but the status and prestige are not enough to convince the public.

Concubine Jing was lying on the bed, looking at the green trees and blue sky outside the window.

She suddenly missed the days before she entered the palace and was in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

At that time, my sister was not married yet, and the three sisters were noisy and noisy all day long. They could often go outing in the suburbs, burn incense in the temple, and watch lanterns in the market.
The most common worries are that my mother made an extra beautiful skirt for someone, and I got another pimple on my face. Last year’s skirt turned out to be tight around the waist this year. My father and my mother had a few quarrels. Some cats called Chun Quai in the middle of the night. It's so annoying that the jasmine that is planted dries up within a few days.

What was considered annoying at the time now seems to be full of fun.

She missed those days so much, those unrestrained laughter.

It's a pity that there will never be any more.

In this harem, no one really cares about themselves, no matter whether they are happy or sad.

Loneliness flooded her heart.

Touching her belly, she felt for the first time the life-and-death dependence between her and her child.

She fell asleep before she knew it, with a smile on her face.

Lan Xing and Bi Yue looked at their master's smile in his sleep and breathed a sigh of relief.
