Chapter 481

Ling Jian ordered someone to invite Xue Yuheng the next day.

Seeing Xue Yuheng, Xiao Li felt warm and kind in her heart: "Uncle Xue."

Back then Xue Yuheng brought her back from Pucheng to Night City, although she seldom saw Xue Yuheng in the palace, but deep down in her heart, she always regarded Xue Yuheng as her half relative.

If Xue Yuheng doesn't mind, Xiao Li is even willing to treat him as a real uncle.

Xue Yuheng was surprised by Xiao Li's appearance.

"How did you become so thin? It's almost the same as when I brought you back from Pucheng. All these years, where did your aunt give you the meat?"

Xue Yuheng checked Xiao Li's pulse while looking at Ling Jian, "Your Majesty, I'm not talking about you, Li'er is already weak, and your mother is not in the palace now. You need to spend more time to take good care of Li'er."

"Like Li'er is so seriously ill this time, you should call me earlier. Before your mother and queen had a headache, your father brought me here directly. You have to learn from your father."

Ling Jian nodded with a smile: "Uncle taught me well."

Xue Yuheng's relationship with Ling Junxing and Qin Luoyu is extraordinary, and Ling Jian was able to follow Qin Luoyu across the Floating Life Path to this world because of Xue Yuheng.

Yi Lingjian's feelings for Xue Yuheng are quite different from ordinary people.

In front of Xue Yuheng, even if Ling Jian is the emperor, he can only be taught obediently.

"I don't dare to take it as a lesson. I just remind the emperor to care more about Li'er."

After Xue Yuheng had his pulse checked, his expression was slightly relaxed, "There is nothing serious about your body, but you are restless and over-thinking. I will prescribe a prescription for you. Take the medicine on time every day. After finishing the three doses, the medicine will arrive."

Xiao Li glanced at Xue Yuheng, and while Ling Jian wasn't paying attention, he stuffed a small note into Xue Yuheng's hand.

Xue Yuheng put the note away calmly, and continued: "I guarantee that the medicine will cure the disease. But to be on the safe side, the emperor had better let me enter the palace again when the time comes, and I will be more at ease after a follow-up consultation."

Xiao Li gave Xue Yuheng a note detailing the matter of An Shenxiang, hoping that Xue Yuheng could help to find out the whereabouts of the imperial physician.

She didn't say that Ling Jian asked the imperial physician to send these soothing fragrances, but said that she asked the imperial physician to prescribe them because of poor sleep.

In recent years, Tai Hospital's Huimin Pharmacy Bureau has spread across the country. Although Xue Yuheng is in white, he has contributed a lot to it.

Xue Yuheng basically has a list of doctors registered in the country.

The imperial physicians who retired from the Imperial Hospital and returned to their hometowns will also be recorded by the Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau so that they can be used in the future.

So asking Xue Yuheng to help find out where the imperial physician is now, Xiao Li found the right person.

When Xue Yuheng came back, it was already two months later.

He personally went to that imperial physician's hometown, and when he entered the palace this time, he specially picked Ling Jian to look for Xiao Li in the early court, his expression was much more solemn than last time.

Xiao Liping retreated all the servants, "Uncle Xue, is there any news?"

Xue Yuheng stared at Xiao Li for a long time, and sighed softly: "Before entering the palace, I hesitated for a long time whether I should tell you what I found out. But after thinking about it, I think I can't hide it from you."

Xiao Li was a little nervous, but still smiled: "Uncle Xue, you say so."

"Those sedative fragrances were made by the imperial physician secretly by the emperor."

Xue Yuheng's eyes were meaningful, "The imperial doctor said that he didn't remember that you asked him for Anshenxiang. After the Anshenxiang was made, he handed them all over to the emperor, who rewarded him and asked him to leave the palace and return home."

The Imperial Physician refused to say anything about the Anshenxiang.

However, Xue Yuheng was unparalleled in medicine and poison, so it didn't take much trouble, and the imperial doctor explained everything honestly.

What kind of use those incenses were used later, the imperial physician did not know.

But at that time, apart from Xiao Li, there were no other concubines in the palace.

So Ling Jian asked the imperial physician to make the whereabouts of these incenses, which can be imagined with his toes.

Xue Yuheng was extremely angry at first, but after thinking about it, he understood Ling Jian's intentions.

He married Xiao Li, but because of Xiao Li's status, he didn't want Xiao Li to conceive and have children.

For the consideration of the Ling Kingdom, Ling Jian's move is understandable.

But it was too cruel to treat Xiao Li like this.

Ling Jian is a good emperor, but definitely not a good husband.

Xue Yuheng once had some objections to Ling Junxing, thinking that he did not protect Qin Luoyu well.

Looking at it now, Ling Jian is really speechless and chilling.

If Fang Qingyi's miscarriage hadn't happened, Xiao Li would never have known that in this tranquilizing incense, there was Linglingxiang that made her infertile.

When Ling Jian came back, Xiao Li had already fallen asleep.

She curled up sideways in the innermost corner, with her back facing the outside.

When Ling Jian lay down, he habitually hugged her.

The moment his hand touched her, he obviously felt her body stiffen.

Ling Jian said softly, "Haven't slept yet?"

Xiao Li said "Hum", but did not turn around, her nasal voice was a bit heavy.

Ling Jianqiang was about to pull her over, and his fingers accidentally touched her cheek, only to feel it was cold.

Fumbling with his fingertips to wipe away her tears, Ling Jian kissed her lightly on the forehead: "Have you had a nightmare again?"

Xiao Li always had nightmares these days, and sometimes she would cry out in her dreams.

She said that she always dreamed that her mother beat her severely with a bamboo stick, and in the dream she was in so much pain that she couldn't help crying.

Ling Jian thought that Xiao Li was crying because of the nightmare.

Xiao Li suppressed the astringency and discomfort in her eyes, closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"Your Majesty, why?"

In the darkness, Xiao Li's voice sounded softly, "Why did you prepare those soothing incense in Yueli Palace?"

Ling Jian's heart tightened suddenly, but soon he smiled as if nothing had happened: "When I first came to the throne, I was too nervous and couldn't sleep well, so the imperial physician sent those incense."

"Really." Xiao Li's voice was faint, unable to detect any emotion, "Is the imperial doctor sending incense for His Majesty, or for me?"

Ling Jian frowned, "You should know who it is for."

"I am not sure."

Xiao Li said, "I don't know why the emperor married me when he knew my identity and made up his mind not to let me have children."

Ling Jian's expression finally changed, "Xiao Li, what do you mean?"

Xiao Li didn't speak, she gently broke away from Ling Jian's embrace, sat up and got out of bed.

She lit the candle, her eyes were a little red.

"Cousin, I've been having childhood dreams recently. I haven't gone back to see my mother for many years."

Xiao Li breathed out, and bent her lips, "Cousin, can you let me out of the palace and let me go back to Pucheng to accompany my mother?"

Ling Jian's eyes were slightly cold: "No."

"But I always dream about my mother, and she blames me for saying that I haven't gone back to visit her grave for many years and don't care about her."

Xiao Li begged, "Cousin, I beg you, can you let me out of the palace?"

Ling Jian said patiently, "I'll send someone to Pucheng to sweep your mother's grave for you."

"But my mother doesn't know those people, and they can't replace me."

Xiao Li unexpectedly insisted, "Cousin, I want to go back. If my aunt is here, she will definitely agree to my going back."

Ling Jian frowned displeased, "Xiao Li, don't forget your current identity, as a concubine in the harem, how can you leave the palace at will?"

Xiao Li opened her big eyes and looked at Ling Jian for a long time.

She said seriously, "Why don't I stop being my cousin's concubine? Cousin, why don't you decree to abolish my title as Concubine Jing and demote me as a commoner, okay?"

Ling Jian's complexion finally turned completely dark, "Xiao Li, since you are still ill, I won't argue with you today."

He patted the bed, and stretched out his hand towards Xiao Li, "Come here, sleep."

Xiao Li pursed her lips and stood quietly, motionless.

"Cousin, there are so many concubines in your harem, without me, what's the point?"

Xiao Li said softly, "Just let me out of the palace, can't you?"

Ling Jian said with a sullen face, "Don't even think about it."

"Cousin, if I'm not wrong, you don't actually like me, do you? You married me because you were drunk and did something stupid, and your aunt forced you to marry me."

Xiao Li smiled, "If I'm not mistaken, the day my cousin decided to marry me, he didn't intend to let me have a child, did he? I used to be ignorant, thinking about marrying my cousin, ignoring my own identity, but now that I know it, I don't want to stay in the palace, and I don't want to cause trouble for my cousin."

She held up her dress, knelt down, and kowtowed heavily: "Cousin, please remember our cousin's love, and our husband and wife's love, please let me go."

Ling Jian looked at Xiao Li with deep eyes, without saying a word.

She knew it after all.

The him two years ago really didn't like Xiao Li that much, so he asked the imperial physician to send soothing incense to Yueli Palace without hesitation.

Two years later, he already regretted it and made Xiao Li stop the Anshen Xiang.

He even changed his original intention of not wanting to confer Xiao Li back then, and canonized Xiao Li as Concubine Jing.

But he did those goddamn things anyway, and he had no excuses.

Ling Jian walked up to Xiao Li, helped her up, and said in a low voice, "I was wrong in the past, and I won't do it in the future. It's no trouble if you stay in the palace."

Xiao Li raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes were cold and without warmth, "But cousin, I don't want to stay here any longer, I want to go back."

"This topic, stop here."

Ling Jian picked her up by the waist, "It's too late, you're still sick, go to bed early."

But Xiao Li didn't know why, the soft and well-behaved person in the past was kicking around in his arms without reason.

"I don't sleep. If my cousin doesn't promise me, I won't sleep."

From the day Ling Jian got to know Xiao Li, he had never seen Xiao Li like this, who was a bit of a mess.

Although it was very disobedient, it was also inexplicably cute, which made his heart a little softer.

Realizing that Xiao Li was angry and he thought she was cute, Ling Jian couldn't help but laugh.

Only then did he hug Xiao Li and put her on the bed, Xiao Li immediately got up and wanted to go down again.

Ling Jian raised his hand to hold her down, "Xiao Li, stop making trouble."
