Jiang Xinyue stumbled all the way, pushing away the palace maid who came to help her, crying and climbing up the steps of the Hall of Supreme Harmony before she could stand firm and fell into an ambergris-scented embrace.
"Didn't I ask you to stay well in Hexi Palace? Why did you run out? Are you desperate for your life?"
"Clang!"
The long sword fell to the ground. Jiang Xinyue held Emperor Xuanwu's head and turned it back and forth, and said in a crying voice: "The emperor is not dead. It's great that the emperor is not dead. Wuwuwu... I'm scared to death... I'm scared to death... …Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... I am my concubine..."
There were dried blood stains on the sword, and there were also bright red blood stains dripping down.
In other words, Zhenbi, a weak woman with no martial arts skills, after hearing that he had been hit by an arrow, she carried a sword and rushed from Hexi Palace to Taihe Palace.
Isn't she afraid of death?
This made him feel more shocked and moved than Concubine Rong blocking his arrow.
If you are lucky enough to block the arrow, you can still have a chance of survival. If you miss the target, it will only hurt for a moment.
But by doing this, Concubine Zhen really ignored the safety of herself and the child in her belly. Just as when they parted, Concubine Zhen told him to be safe, otherwise she would take the child and bury him together.
He had long been tired of hearing the nice words spoken by the women in the harem, but the only one who put himself in such a dangerous situation was Concubine Zhen.
The point is, as long as she stays in Hexi Palace, she can guarantee her absolute safety and not be in any danger.
But she came anyway.
This gave Emperor Xuanwu the feeling that she really cared and was afraid of losing herself.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."
Emperor Xuanwu patted her back and coaxed her: "It's okay, it's okay."
Jiang Xinyue once saw a piece of chicken soup on the Internet, saying that when a man doesn't love you, you are his mother. You have to worry about everything for him, and you must always be sensible and make him feel comfortable.
When a man loves you, you don't need to be sensible, he will pamper you like a child.
Emperor Xuanwu must be in this state now!
Seeing that the emperor had not come in for so long, Empress Zhu led everyone out.
Who is hugging the emperor if not the concubine Zhen?
"Where did Concubine Zhen go just now?"
Empress Zhu smiled and said: "Ye Sorghum is coming in force, and you and Ye Jieyu have an old grudge. I am worried that you will be held hostage by her, but I haven't seen you yet, and I don't dare to let the maids and eunuchs come out to look for you. …”
I want to say that she was nowhere to be seen at the critical moment, so she ran out as soon as the danger was over!
Jiang Xinyue wiped away her tears and huddled in the emperor's arms. The hand holding his clothes was still trembling slightly. She didn't know whether it was because of fear or because she was exhausted from killing the rebels on the way.
It is not easy for a weak woman like her to come here from Hexi Palace. She should be both.
Emperor Xuanwu said distressedly: "She is in Hexi Palace. I entrusted the care of the fourth prince to her and arranged several guards to protect them. I told her not to come out no matter what the situation was."
Because he knew that his favor was a life-threatening talisman for Zhenbi, and someone would definitely take advantage of the chaos to deal with Zhenbi and kill her by pretending to be a rebel.
The emperor's words left Empress Zhu speechless.
Even though she is a queen, she can accompany the emperor in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. All the concubines in the harem are here. But she is different. She has to be protected. Isn't it because she is pregnant?
This was Empress Zhu's pain point. She shook her head and did not delve into it further.
"Concubine Zhen is really brave. She ran here from Hexi Palace alone, and she was pregnant. Did she encounter no danger on the way?"
A worried look appeared on Concubine De's face: "You are about to give birth. Don't let anything go wrong at the critical moment. The doctor who bandaged Concubine Rong is still inside. Go and let him take a look."
Since Jiang Xinyue became pregnant, Dr. Yan was the only one who checked her pulse and prescribed prescriptions. No one else could find out the condition of her fetus.
Is the fetal position correct? Healthy or not? Is it safe or not?
Most importantly, is it a boy or a girl?
They didn't know this. The emperor arranged for a bodyguard to protect Dr. Yan, and no one dared to intercept Dr. Yan in his palace to ask about the situation.
If it were other imperial doctors...
"Concubine, thank you for your concern, Concubine De."
Jiang Xinyue shook her head: "But when I came, the people sent by the emperor to protect me had already killed all the rebels. I didn't encounter any danger. As long as the emperor is fine, I will feel at ease."
Otherwise, De Fei’s rank is still high?
There is so much packed into one sentence.
Either she asked other doctors to take her pulse or see the gender of the child in her belly, or they told her from the side that someone was injured because of the emperor, otherwise a concubine would not have appeared out of thin air.
He wanted to make her jealous and make a fuss, which would displease the emperor.
It’s true that she lacks virtue. Is Concubine De’s surname Wu?
"Concubine Wu" is her entire title!
Jiang Xinyue, who didn't answer her questions at all, seemed not to have heard the second half of her words. Her face was full of joy that the emperor could survive the disaster.
"Your Majesty, why don't you go in and have a look..."
"Well!"
Jiang Xinyue clutched her stomach, cold sweat broke out on her forehead: "Your Majesty, I am... I have a stomachache! Doctor Yan... Doctor Yan is in Hexi Palace..."
Emperor Xuanwu picked her up, called Wang Dequan and ran to Hexi Palace. He was so anxious that he forgot about the chariot. How could he care about Concubine Rong who was shielding him from arrows?
He didn't believe Zhenbin when she said she didn't encounter any danger on the road. The blood stains on the sword wouldn't lie, and Zhenbin's belly wouldn't lie. Only Zhenbin's mouth, out of fear of him worrying, would lie.
"The Queen..."
Concubine De helped Empress Zhu who almost fainted with quick eyes and hands, with timely worry in her eyes.
Empress Zhu held back her tears: "Look, even you know that you care about me. I have been married to him for more than ten years, but he has never even asked me if I am afraid."
Concubine De sighed with a sad look on her face: "The blessed person of the concubine is not comparable to the unlucky person like the concubine. I only hope that after she gives birth to the prince in the future, she can take the past friendship into consideration and not harm the concubine. My concubine’s third prince.”
If you don’t have any children, you’re already your favorite, but if you have children, what’s the point?
I'm afraid that by then, the Queen will not be able to suppress her anymore.
Why does Concubine De seem to be saying that after Concubine Zhen gives birth to the prince, her status will be threatened?
Empress Zhu retracted her gaze from the emperor's back and turned to Concubine De: "How do you know she will win a man in one fell swoop?"
Concubine De smiled faintly: "Look how well the emperor protects her? Except for Imperial Physician Yan, no other imperial physician is allowed to take her pulse. Aren't they afraid that we will know that she is carrying a healthy male fetus?"
Emperor, who is he guarding against?
