Wang Rong asked in a daze as she stared at the lampshade, not even knowing when Zhu Yijun had arrived. Zhu Yijun walked up to her and asked, ”What are you looking at?” Only then did she wake up and get up to greet him.
Zhu Yijun held her hand, ”Save it.”
Wang Rong wanted to retract her hand, but Zhu Yijun didn't let her. He moved closer to the lamp and looked carefully, there were blood marks left behind by her two or three nails.
”What's going on?” Zhu Yijun asked, and his face immediately changed, ”How did you get injured and not apply any medicine?” He immediately told the palace maid to get the medicine.
”It's fine, I didn't notice when I was injured, and it didn't hurt either.” Wang Rong He still wanted to withdraw his hand.
Zhu Yijun grabbed onto her hand without letting go, his face somewhat gloomy: ”What did mother say to you today?”
Wang Rong looked at him and said, ”Your Majesty's expression scared me.”
”If I ask you, you tell me. Even if you don't, I will know.” Zhu Yijun looked at her, ”Do you want me to find out from you or someone else?”
”Your Majesty, I'm getting more and more afraid.” Wang Rong said softly.
”You are someone who is not afraid of the heavens or the earth. Just pretend to be obedient in front of me.” Zhu Yijun frowned, ”You relied on me to love you.”
”I know.” Wang Rong He said that, and took the initiative to pull Zhu Yijun over, and holding him by his waist while sitting still, she placed his chin on his chest, then raised his head to look at him, ”However, I have really done something that I wasn't afraid of, and I didn't think of it when I was doing it. Now that I'm afraid of it, if you want to settle the score, your majesty should help me carry it out a bit.”
Zhu Yijun looked down at her, ”What is it?”
”Today, I told mother that if a good empress wants to personally see His Majesty go to bed with someone else, I won't be able to do it.” Wang Rong He said. I really can't do that. ”Your Majesty must be feeling a bit awkward as well. He's having a good time with his beloved concubine, and then I stood by the side with a face full of complaints. Your Majesty is no longer in the mood to continue.”
”Where did my beloved concubine come from? There's actually a beloved empress.” Zhu Yijun pinched her face and said, ”What did mother have to say to make it sound so bad?”
”No more.” Wang Rong He said.
”If mother didn't say something unpleasant to force you, you wouldn't be able to say those words.” Zhu Yijun said, ”Can't she really recuperate? ”Worried about so much?”
”Speaking of which, I didn't lose a piece of meat.” Wang Rong He said, ”Listening to my mother-in-law's nagging is also my duty as a daughter-in-law.”
”Where did you not lose your meat? You are not made of mud, and after hearing those words, you feel sad, but you can't show it. Even your palm is torn.” Zhu Yijun said.
”I won't feel wronged if I have His Majesty's heartache.” Wang Rong said with a smile.
Instead, Zhu Yijun rubbed her face and said, ”You really make my heart ache to death.”
Wang Rong He pressed his face against her chest and hugged her in silence for a while.
The next day, His Majesty went to the Huangji Hall to handle government affairs. After Wang Rong and the others finished washing up, palace maid said, ”Imperial Physician Xu is waiting outside the hall?”
”Why is he here?” Wang Rong asked curiously. Today is not the day to invite someone for a safe journey. ”
”He said that His Majesty called him over.” The palace maid said.
Wang Rong He nodded and invited them in.
After Xu Duzhong bowed, ”Your Majesty said that the Empress's palm is injured. Bring this subject to the Empress to take a look, will there be scars?”
”Just a small scratch. There was only a bit of blood foam. I applied medicine on it yesterday.” Wang Rong laughed. The Xiao Monarch was making a big fuss.
”May the Empress extend her hand for this humble subject to see.” ”Although it's only a small wound, you still have to pay attention to its dryness. You will apply the medicinal ointment diligently every day, and this humble one will write a letter to palace maid in which there's something that will hinder the healing of the wound, and this humble one will also avoid the mouth for a few days.”
She looked at Xu Duzhong and asked, ”How is my body?”
”The Empress's body is very healthy.” Xu Duzhong said.
”Then, why is there no joyous news for so long?” Wang Rong and her brows furrowed as she asked.
”His Majesty asked this subject the same question ten days ago.” Xu Duzhong said, ”This subject said that His Majesty and the Empress's bodies are very healthy, and that the child is waiting for fate.”
”How could I not know?” Wang Rong shook her head as she mocked herself, ”The more the child thinks about it, the more he doesn't want to come.”
”But unless you tell me now that I can't have a baby, I won't stop when the baby is coming.”
Xu Duzhong hesitated, ”After His Majesty told this subject, he got this subject to prescribe some medicine to nourish his kidney.”
”His Majesty said that the Empress doesn't like bitter medicine.” Xu Duzhong said.
This was the first time that Wang Rong and she had known about it, but it was precisely this little thing that was hiding it from her that was especially moving. Regarding the birth of a child, everyone always said that it was a woman's fault. Even if it was a request for a son, it was a woman's request for medicine, and it was none of a woman's business.
”If there really is anything useful to eat, then you can give it to me as well.” Wang Rong He said.
”Is the Empress not afraid of hardships?” Xu Duzhong asked.
”It won't be hard to think of His Majesty.” Wang Rong said with a smile.
Xu Duzhong choked, he could not understand this kind of feeling, no matter what you think in your heart, the medicine was bitter, and could not become sweet.
The servants of the Duke Yongnian Palace said that they wanted to pay respects to the empress. Wang Rong and Feng Jianxue knew that Da Guo had found out who it was, so they were allowed to enter the palace tomorrow.
It was eldest sister-in-law who accompanied her grandmother into the palace. Although she was still the same old, she didn't carry a sense of death with her. Wang Rong was holding her hand happily. ”It looks like this imperial physician is still of some use.”
