He coaxed the queen to drink the medicine with soft words, then picked out a candied fruit and put it into the queen's mouth himself, "Is it sweet?"
The queen's eyes turned red again, but she didn't hold it back this time, and tears fell, "The emperor treats his concubine so well."
"You are my wife. If I am not good to you, who should I be good to?" The emperor smiled.
The queen felt very sad. Today's good things are not worth the neglect of the past.
Feeding medicine like this has happened a lot in Huiqing Palace. I heard reports that the emperor came to Huiqing Palace a few days ago and fed Concubine Hui medicine like this every day.
She suppressed her emotions from overflowing. She was a queen and should not compete with the concubine for favor. She had her own dignity.
I just didn’t want to go to Huiqing Palace today, so I resorted to various methods. What woman was not once a little bird, as tender as water? It's just that when the identity is different and the burden on the shoulders is different, the behavior cannot be the same.
She knew that Huiqinggong was very good at using such methods, pretending to be pitiful, pretending to be weak, and putting the Lord first. Men liked this.
The emperor is no exception.
After the emperor left, he summoned Princess Qing to the palace to accompany Concubine Hui.
The imperial doctor is staying at Huiqing Palace today and night, and the fetus has sunk. It seems that it has been in the past few days.
The imperial doctor was also responsible for being able to survive until the day of delivery, and everyone in the Tai Hospital breathed a sigh of relief.
But she couldn't relax completely, because childbirth was the biggest difficulty. Concubine Hui was now in poor health and swollen so much that she looked like a giant when she stood up. The imperial doctor had never seen a woman so swollen during pregnancy.
Although Leng Xiao has been living as normal these days, he seems to be more concerned about the affairs in Huiqing Palace than before.
After all, she is an advanced maternal age. No matter what her condition is during delivery, she can only resist and cannot have a caesarean section.
The qualities of a medical practitioner should never be forgotten, even if the situation is very miserable.
So, I haven't been able to sleep these days.
Professional ethics and reality are in tension.
Because Concubine Hui may not be able to pass this test.
In fact, she didn't pity Concubine Hui's life very much. This woman wanted to die. If she died, she would die.
But she had gone to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment, and whenever she had treatment, she would automatically identify her as her patient, and she could not get rid of this burden.
Nangong Yitian also saw Leng Xiao's troubles.
That night, instead of doing their regular evening exercises, they lay in bed and chatted.
"What happened to Concubine Hui?" Nangong Yitian knew about her, but she was actually cold and warm-hearted.
"Well...she may not be able to survive this delivery, but I also think that if she died, without her support for Princess Qing, Princess Qing would not be able to cause so many troubles to torment us, and we could live a quiet life."
Look, list it out, and you will find that there are indeed many benefits after Concubine Hui's death.
"You would say that, and it proves that you think so, but you are still troubled, so what is the reason for your troubles?"
"An obsession, the obsession of being a doctor." Leng Xiao sighed.
Thinking of the oath I took before studying medicine, I always feel that those words hit my heart one by one.
Nangong Yitian thought for a while and roughly understood that he was a soldier and had a deep understanding of the word "responsibility".
"Okay, if someone comes to invite you then, just go there. If they don't invite you, just pretend they don't know. How about that?" Nangong Yitian said.
"It's also a good idea."
Nangong Yitian smiled, looked at her and said: "Actually, regardless of whether Concubine Hui is dead or not, Nangong Qinglan can't dance for long. Even if he can dance, he can't dance in front of you, so everything should be done according to his heart. Don’t worry about anything else, just go if you want to go, and if you don’t want to go, don’t go.”
