The First Empress - Chapter 46
Chapter 46 Heaven Penetrating Machine
It had been snowing heavily for several days, and soon it would be the end of the year, but Li Chongyuan was unable to get sick at all.
Linglong recalled the past, so she naturally went to see Li Chongyuan from time to time in Li Chongyuan’s palace. She felt that Li Chongyuan seemed to have a deficiency, and it seemed that her fortune was not the life of a wealthy and noble person.
The Snow Waves Mountain was buried red, and the plum blossoms in the atrium were covered with a layer of snow foam, which would melt unmelted.
Linglong looked out of the window and said, “What exactly is going on? It’s just that she’s caught a cold and is about to breathe. Who knows?”
The maidservant had already taken the Earth Dragon. Silver carbon was slowly burning in the earth dragon. Linglong felt that the room was as warm as spring. However, Li Chongyuan did not feel anything. He gripped Linglong’s hand while coughing sullenly and said out of breath, “I also … thought it was … wind chill, wind chill … very easy … Who would have thought …”
“Sister, don’t talk. Don’t get angry.” Linglong hurriedly stopped Li Chongyuan from speaking. As she blew the tremella soup with a spoon and sent it to her mouth, Li Chongyuan hurriedly took a sip and said, “Sister, don’t be like this. I feel ashamed of myself.”
Linglong said while blowing on the tremor in the spoon, “Sister and sister are the same person. The only difference is that sister is not as good-natured as sister. It’s a good thing to be patient. But sister, you also know that it’s not the same thing to be patient in this inner court. Sooner or later, you will be killed by these people.” Li Chongyuan naturally knew as well. As she coughed, she said coldly, “Now I understand. Since there is a queen behind me, wait for me to recover. Alright …”
Linglong smiled happily when she saw that it had finally inspired Li Chongyuan. “It’s good to know this. In the future, it’s good not to be so weak. Probably because she was frightened a few days ago, but also because of the cold. It’s not easy to recover. It’s good that the maids and granny are alert during the new year.”
Li Chongyuan smiled and said, “This is also exchanging hearts for hearts, right? Did I ever say a single word about them in the palace?”
As the two of them were talking, Linglong suddenly heard footsteps outside. She looked through the window lattice and saw the bright yellow shoulders outside. She nodded slightly and said, “That person is coming.” As soon as Linglong finished speaking, Huiqi had already entered. Eunuch Lu took the cloak covered with snow particles and patted it on the ebony table in front of him.
Linglong saluted, “I greet the Emperor.”
On the bed, Li Chongyuan also wanted to bow, but she was not strong enough.
Huiqi’s eyes were filled with heartache. As he looked at the almost fragmented and beautiful person on the bed, he looked at Linglong and said, “I’ve heard that you two sisters are good friends. Today, I saw you. You all have a good temper.”
Linglong smiled and said, “Your Majesty, come over and take a look at Sister Chongyuan. Perhaps Sister Chongyuan’s illness will be much better.”
Li Chongyuan blushed and said, “Big sister is talking nonsense again.”
Huiqi also heard that Li Chongyuan had been in bed for several days and hadn’t recovered at all, so he asked, “But what? What did the imperial physician say?”
Li Chongyuan had always been a person who didn’t want to bother others. The imperial physician had only come to prescribe a prescription for typhoid fever as usual, so he could feel his pulse. However, Li Chongyuan felt that the medicine was too bitter. He spat out two mouthfuls of it every time, so there was no improvement until now.
“I heard from the Empress that you are always not good, and I am also very anxious. Doctor Xuan–”
Hui Qi waved his hand. Eunuch Lu had already walked out. Li Chongyuan was embarrassed and held Hui Qi’s hand. “Your Majesty, don’t bother. It’s so troublesome in the middle of the night. How bad is it?”
Bu Linglong sat on the wooden table beside her. She looked at the two of them who were fond of each other. On the one hand, she felt self-pity. Moreover, she couldn’t show any of this self-pity. Forget how sad she was, the weight in her heart was getting higher and higher, and she felt extremely sad.
Huiqi waved his hand and said, “You must take good care of your own body. In the future, when I love you more, I will only treat you as pitiful to me.” Because Li Chongyuan was a sick person, he naturally wanted to do it for the sake of his superiority, so Huiqi also picked it up and said it pleasantly.
Hearing this, it was like flirting. Linglong lowered her head slightly. Huiqi looked out the door and saw that she was anxiously waiting for the imperial physician. It could be seen that she cared about Li Chongyuan.
Only then did she sweep her gaze over Linglong, probably realizing that there were other people in the room. “Bu Jieyu, if you’re fine, go back early. The snow-covered road makes people palm more lanterns, lest you follow Chong Yuan’s footsteps.”
Linglong laughed dryly, “Even if I follow in the footsteps of the emperor, with the emperor taking care of me, I can’t wait for Miri Miaodiao’s servants and concubines.”
“Nonsense.” Huiqi smiled faintly and said, “Go back. I know you’ve been here all day, so I should go back and rest.”
Linglong was just about to leave when the imperial physician outside came in, so she didn’t leave and waited for the imperial physician’s conclusion.
The imperial physician was still Pei Minghai and Hu Zongnan from the imperial hospital. The two imperial physicians put down the medicine chest, and Huiqi waved his hand to move aside. Linglong quickly covered Li Chongyuan’s hand with a handkerchief. Hu Zongnan put his hand on Li Chongyuan’s wrist as if he was doing business. After a while, he said, “This servant still needs to invite Lord’s right pulse.”
Linglong Yi moved Li Chongyuan’s right hand. Hu Zongnan extended his hand and asked for his right pulse. Then, he nodded and said to Huiqi, “This lowly official doesn’t dare to cut it off at all. Please ask Pei Minghai to also ask for his pulse.”
“Is there no harm?” Hui Qi raised his eyebrows. This Feng Han was also not well. Everyone was worried. Thinking of this, his expression became much more obscure.
“No problem, no problem–” Hu Zongnan said as he moved aside to write the prescription.
Pei Minghai revealed a smile on his face. After a long time, he smiled, “Your Majesty, Little Lord’s pulse is full …” Then, he knelt on the ground, “I’m happy for Little Lord. Little Lord is happy.”
Li Chongyuan’s eyes widened in disbelief. Bu Linglong stared at the imperial physician on the ground in shock. Huiqi happily patted Minghai’s shoulder and pointed at Hu Zongnan. “You, you, you two old bastards, it’s useless to look at a single pulse of happiness. Haha! I’m very happy. You guys should go down and receive the reward. You don’t dare to use the medicine of tigers and wolves.”
Looking back at Li Chongyuan, Li Chongyuan couldn’t believe it from beginning to end, “Could it be that she was mistaken?”
Pei Minghai began to explain. Hui Qi waved his hand and said, “There’s no mistake. I and Mr. Hu guarantee with their lives that the Empress is indeed pregnant. Her pulse is different from others …”
Pei Minghai laughed and laughed, “This lowly official should have spanked, should have spanked–”
“Just remember it today. Take care of Little Lord Chong Yuan’s food in the future. It’s time for you to spit on her.” Speaking of which, Li Chongyuan looked at Li Chongyuan and recovered from her shock. Her 120,000-point joy rose to her eyebrows.
“This concubine is very happy today. Today …” Huiqi covered her mouth and slowly helped Li Chongyuan to lie down. “Chongyuan, you’ve worked hard and you’re pregnant. From now on, you don’t have to go to the Empress’ Kunde Palace to salute, and you don’t have to salute me anymore.”
“This …”
“Do you agree or not?” Huiqi was a little angry.
“This concubine agrees.” Li Chongyuan pursed her lips, looking a little reluctant.
Linglong was dumbfounded. Only now did she unfreeze from the petrification process. Looking at Li Chongyuan and the Emperor, she felt extremely sad. This was the honor of An Fu. She didn’t know when she would be able to have a child with Huiqi, whether it was Emperor Ji or Prince.
Lang Qing and Ling Long are concubines, Ling Long is not sad in her heart, so she walks away on the pretext.
They were fine. They didn’t care about Linglong’s whereabouts at all. However, they had already drawn up the prescription. Huiqi looked at it and said, “Let’s just do this. Imperial Physician Pei and Imperial Physician Hu came to take care of Chongyuan and Lord at the same time. They must make sure that the mother and son are safe. Is that possible?”
“This humble servant only has this black veil on his head. This humble servant will naturally be able to preserve it.” What Hu Zongnan said was true.
“I only have this head on my head. I am naturally able to do so as well.” Pei Minghai said.
Only then did Huiqi feel relieved.
Because not a single concubine had any good news this year, Li Chongyuan was naturally treated like a precious pearl by everyone. Even the Empress came to see Li Chongyuan every day. She held Li Chongyuan’s hand and said slowly, “This is the best way to consolidate your pet. You have a rich and honorable life.”
Li Chongyuan couldn’t wait to get out of bed and bow to Ji Zhuhua. “Thank you, Your Highness. If it weren’t for Your Highness’ help, I wouldn’t have conceived a child so quickly even if I had ten lives. Thank you, Your Highness …” Ji Zhu Hua merely touched the hazy pearl above his head. “Sister Chong Yuan, don’t say that. Everything is your fortune. Sometimes, you have to have it in your life. It can be seen that this sentence is not bad.”
The weather was bright and sunny today. The Emperor immediately came to see Ji Zhuhua. He smiled and said, “Is the Empress here too?”
Ji Zhu Hua Xining smiled with a tranquil expression on his soft and greasy cheeks. “This concubine is the head of the harem, so I naturally need to visit little sister Chong Yuan more. Your Majesty is tired. Sit down,” said Ji Zhu Hua Xining.
Huiqi asked, “Are you feeling much better?”
“It’s nourishing the spirit and calming the fetus, and dispelling the wind and cold. This concubine’s mouth is full of bitterness.” Li Chongyuan didn’t mean to act spoiled, but she just said whatever she thought of. The Empress nodded. “Good medicine is bitter. It’s really like this. Little sister Chong Yuan endured it for a while, so it’s naturally good to pass it.”
“The Empress is right,” Huiqi looked at the tremella soup on the table and asked, “When did this happen?”
“Your Majesty,” Li Chongyuan said, “the little kitchen just sent it over. It’s still warm.”
“I’m not afraid of the heat. I’ll feed it to you.” Huiqi handed over the spoon while blowing on the tremella. The Empress’ heart was filled with jealousy as she prepared to go back.
Turning around, she actually saw Linglong standing at the door. Linglong looked at Hui Qi’s meticulous movements and couldn’t help but be stunned. When would she be able to act like this …
“You’re here?” Hui Qi turned his head and looked at Bu Linglong. “I heard that every time you come over to take care of Chong Yuan, she is always meticulous. This is also your good thing. However, don’t be tired from traveling back and forth.”
Linglong quickly adjusted her expression and said humorously, “What are you tired of? This concubine only treats the baby in Sister Chongyuan’s belly as a concubine. No matter who is able to give birth to a dragon descendant, it is extremely difficult. It’s like climbing a mountain. This concubine only came on a flat path, much more comfortable than that one who climbed the mountain.” As he said that, he took the spoon and jade bowl in Huiqi’s hand and said, “The Emperor of the Ten Thousand Creeds probably won’t take care of people. Let this concubine do the tough work.”
Li Chongyuan looked at Bu Linglong, her eyes slightly moist. “Big sister Bu, you’re so nice …”
When Hui Qi saw Li Chongyuan’s true qi, he immediately smiled and said, “What’s so good about this? You’ve already become a mountain climber, so why don’t you say yes to the person who took the flat road?” The two of them were both delighted when they heard this.
Linglong blew the tremella soup to Li Chongyuan’s mouth, and Li Chongyuan ate half a bowl half-heartedly before he was finished. Linglong stretched her waist and said, “I don’t dare to disturb your concubine Lang Qing. I have to go.” “Don’t be too tired, Your Majesty. It’s the same to have a concubine to take care of your sister anyway,” he said as he looked at Huiqi.
Li Chongyuan looked at Bu Linglong and said, “Sister Bu, are you leaving now?”
Bu Linglong spat, “I don’t want to leave, but I want to see your zither playing harmoniously. Ah, not good.” Linglong stroked her chest and Huiqi pointed at the tip of her nose. “Naughty, I’ll come over tonight. You can go back first.”
Linglong nodded and looked reluctantly at the Emperor before returning.
Linglong was truly heartfelt and loving.
