The Imperial Physician's words caused Xuanyuan Zhiling's heart to sink fiercely, because only now did Xuanyuan Zhiling realize that Liu Yue was truly pregnant.
”Imperial Physician, you're saying that Imperial Consort Li is really pregnant?” Xuanyuan Zhiling stared at the imperial physician in disbelief. The doctor was immediately shocked by Xuanyuan Zhiling's words and his face started to turn pale white.
”Your majesty, your majesty, this old subject does not understand your majesty's words. The Empress indeed has a dragon seed in her stomach, this old subject's diagnosis is correct.” The imperial physician was afraid that he might bear some sort of responsibility, so he spoke up in a fluster.
When Xuanyuan Zhiling heard this, he could not help but retreat a few steps, as if he was struck by lightning from a clear sky.
The Liu Yue in front of him was lying on the bed. Her face was pale and unconscious. Xuanyuan Zhiling wasn't worrying about Liu Yue, rather, he felt as if he had fallen into a huge whirlpool.
Liu Yue was really pregnant, would his life be snatched away by two women in the future? When she thought of this, on one hand, Xuanyuan Zhiling felt that he had let Qin Feng down, and on the other hand, he was extremely confused.
”Your majesty, your majesty, you're here …” Just as Xuanyuan Zhiling's mind was wandering, the Liu Yue lying on the bed suddenly let out a surprised but very weak voice. Hearing that, Xuanyuan Zhiling's train of thoughts was immediately pulled back.
Xuanyuan Zhiling nodded, lowered his head, looked at Liu Yue and said: ”Rest well, don't talk too much, this is not good for children.” This was the first time Xuanyuan Zhiling treated him so warmly. Liu Yue seemed to be overwhelmed by the favor as she looked at him with watery eyes.
”Yes, Your Majesty. Chenqie will definitely protect our child well.” Liu Yue said with a blissful smile on her face, with a tinge of happiness in her eyes.
Xuanyuan Zhiling nodded, turned and walked to the window, his expression extremely solemn.
However, Liu Yue was currently being protected by Xuanyuan Zhiling, but she was actually lying on the cold bed by herself, staring at the curtains on the bed with empty eyes. In her heart, her mind was completely blank.
”empress, you haven't eaten for the entire day. It's better to eat.” Seeing Qin Feng lying in bed in a daze, Xiao Lian boldly went forward to talk to Qin Feng, but Qin Feng ignored him, remaining in a daze.
Seeing Qin Feng like that, Xiao Lian sighed and turned to leave.
After going through the imperial physician's diagnosis and treatment, Liu Yue's body was completely fine, the child in her stomach had also been saved.
”Your majesty, your majesty, chenqie is fine.” Liu Yue pulled Xuanyuan Zhiling's hand, excitedly telling him that the child had been saved, but what Liu Yue did not expect was that Xuanyuan Zhiling was not as excited as she had imagined, but instead had a face full of worry.
When Liu Yue saw Xuanyuan Zhiling's expression, his expression darkened slightly. ”Your Majesty, could it be that you're unhappy that our prince has been protected?”
Only then did Xuanyuan Zhi Ling realize that his performance was inappropriate. He forced out a smile and said, ”How could I be unhappy? It's just that there have been too many matters of state lately. I'm a little tired.” Xuanyuan Zhi Ling casually said a few words, but a trace of coldness could be seen between his brows.
Deep in the night, Xuanyuan Zhiling watched Liu Yue sleep, little by little, by Liu Yue's bedside. He was still worried about Qin Feng, and he didn't know how Qin Feng was doing. However, Xuanyuan Zhiling knew that if he went to see Qin Feng now, he would definitely be rejected by him.
Liu Yue fell asleep, her eyes blinking from time to time, as if she was having a nightmare.
Xuanyuan Zhiling left the Purple Palace and sat in the imperial study late into the night. Xuanyuan Zhiling's expression was extremely ugly, thinking about Qin Feng's despairing eyes and Liu Yue's pitiful and delicate appearance, Xuanyuan Zhiling did not know what to do.
”Your Majesty, it's time to rest.” Eunuch Xiao Linzi walked in and carefully instructed Xuanyuan Zhiling.
Xuanyuan Zhiling sighed, a complicated expression quickly sweeping across his face.
”If you're tired, then go rest. I'm not sleepy yet.” As he said that, Qin Feng's face became ugly. How could he sleep under such circumstances?
Xiao Linzi sighed lightly as he turned around and walked away. When he turned his head to look at Xuanyuan Zhiling, he could not help but sigh.
The light in the imperial study late at night was flickering. Xuanyuan Zhiling sat inside alone, although there were only some memorials in front of him, his mind was no longer on them. His head was filled with Qin Feng's expression of despair. After some thought, he still decided to take a look at Qin Feng.
Arriving at the Blue Bird Hall's door, Xuanyuan Zhiling began to hesitate whether or not he should enter.
”Since you're already here, why don't you go in?” A man's voice suddenly appeared beside Xuanyuan Zhiling's ears, carrying a trace of ridicule, but there was still a trace of helplessness.
Xuanyuan Zhiling turned his head to look, it was actually Song Mingzhi.
When Xuanyuan Zhiling saw Song Mingzhi's face, a dangerous glint quickly flashed across his eyes.
”Why are you here? Are you here to see my liveliness? ” Xuanyuan Zhiling's tone revealed a dangerous aura, a wave of cold and disdainful expression quickly flashed past his face.
Seeing Xuanyuan Zhiling's expression, not only did he not get angry, he said with a relaxed expression: ”Actually, I came to admire you. Qin Feng gave up her life for you, but when she faced me, she was actually so ice-cold, so cold that it cooled my heart.” When Song Mingzhi said this, his expression quickly flashed with a trace of despair.
When he heard these words, Xuanyuan Zhiling's heart still trembled. He had always misunderstood the relationship between Qin Feng and Song Mingzhi, but only now did he know that Qin Feng's heart had always been with him.
”The person Qin Feng has loved has always been me, always been me.” Xuanyuan Zhiling said softly, with a complex expression on his face. But how could a person like him be worthy of Qin Feng? Qin Feng loved him so much, but he had children with other women.
