Chapter 226

"Your Majesty, just now I checked the pulse carefully, and found that the empress is born with a cold body, and I'm afraid...it's not easy to conceive."

There was a moment of silence in the side hall before a man's difficult voice sounded: "Is there a way to fix it?"

"Drinking too much soup and medicine will hurt your body after all, and judging from the situation of your empress, it won't be very effective."

"There is no other way?"

"Forgive me for speaking bluntly, obey the destiny."

"Don't let her know." After a pause, he added, "Don't tell the empress dowager either."

"Sir... according to the order."

In a daze, she walked back to the inner hall.

After a while, he came over with his usual expression, and comforted him softly, the child will be born sooner or later, there is no rush.

She looked at him in confusion, trying to see something strange from that handsome and gentle face.

Unfortunately, nothing can be seen.

He hid so deeply that it frightened her.

Naturally, this kind of thing cannot be hidden in the harem. The next day, Empress Dowager Hua summoned her.

"When the emperor was the prince, you were the only one. Although Aijia didn't understand, apart from your good looks, what other advantages did you have that deserved his favor." He took a sip of tea and sighed, "Today, look For the sake of keeping yourself safe, that's all, it's just..."

She lowered her eyes and tightly clenched the handkerchief in her hand.

"The inability to give birth to an heir is a major matter for the country. What can the queen say?"

"The concubine... has nothing to say."

"Well, the Ai family will not make things difficult for you. Concubine Su Gui has been in the palace for almost half a year, and the emperor has never spent the night in Tangli Hall. If you know the general idea, you know what to do."

"Think about it carefully, whether to let your younger sister Cheng Chong give birth to an emperor's heir, or wait for other concubines to take your throne in the future!"

Chaofeng Palace.

She lay on the small table, staring at the faint candlelight.

She couldn't help stretching out her hand to touch the jumping flame, a tingling sensation came from her fingertips, she shivered back, stared blankly at the burnt area, and murmured:

"When a moth flies into a flame, it really hurts."

"The Emperor is here—"

Outside the hall, the singing of the little eunuch sounded.

She jumped up, barefoot, and ran to the door quickly, closed the two hall doors heavily, then leaned against the door, and called out:
"Your Majesty, you... go somewhere else!"

The footsteps stopped, and a deep voice came: "Queen, where do you want me to go?"

Her eyes were sore, she opened her lips, but found that she still couldn't speak, so she replied stupidly:

"You... don't come looking for my concubine, that's fine."

If you think about it privately, if you don't look for her, it won't be considered monopoly.

"Heh." He seemed to be laughed angrily, "Ninny, open the door, you don't have to..."

"Go! Go!" She hastily interrupted him.

Let's go, she can't hold it anymore...

She's not that firm.

After a long silence, through the door, he slowly said: "Think about it carefully, tonight, I will stay in the study."

She turned sideways, gently opened a crack in the door, and watched the slender figure pass through the corridor and disappear at the end of the garden gate.

The autumn wind was rustling, rolling up the fallen leaves all over the courtyard, and in the hazy night, everything seemed extraordinarily quiet.

It was so quiet, as if she was the only one left in the world.

He hardly slept all night, and when he got up to wash and comb, his face was as pale as paper.

Let the serving maid apply a little more rouge to recover her complexion.

After barely finishing breakfast, Concubine Su Gui came to visit.

"Third sister." She raised her head, but covered her forehead with a silk handkerchief.

She was originally reluctant to meet each other, but now she was only surprised: "Fourth sister, you..."

Su Xiangling's face was full of embarrassment: "Yesterday, the empress dowager summoned me and talked about... oh! I refused in every possible way, but I broke my head, and I couldn't persuade her old man's determined mind, and said... "
