C54 malabsorption (1/2)
The empress hastened to persuade him. ”The emperor is angry and joyous, but the dragon's constitution is more important. We should let the imperial physician see the sister consort first. We can't delay any longer.”
Layers upon layers of cold sweat flowed down Zhong Miao Yi's back. When she raised her head slightly, she saw that Imperial Consort De was actually looking at her.
The corner of Imperial Consort De's mouth hooked into a faint smile, causing her heart to tighten. It was an indescribably strange smile.
A bad premonition was always a strange and precise thing. Imperial Consort De retracted her gaze and softly said to the Emperor: ”Your Majesty, Princess Miaoyi came to the palace to visit Consort Xian today. Perhaps she knows something?”
The emperor was startled. He followed Imperial Consort De's gaze and saw the kneeling Zhong Miao Yi outside as expected.
Seeing Zhong Miao Yi, the anger in his heart subsided a little, and she let Zhong Miao Yi come over.
Zhong Miao Yi suppressed the uneasiness in her heart. When she walked inside, he was about to kneel, but was stopped by the Emperor: ”Alright, don't kneel.
Zhong Miao Yi lowered her head and said, ”Yes, Concubine Xian said that she wanted to go for a walk, so I accompanied Empress for a walk.”
The Emperor simply grunted as if he had no interest in asking any further questions.
How could the Imperial Consort De let go of such a good opportunity? ”Before Concubine Xian went out with you, she was fine. Why did she go out with you?
The Imperial Consort De had always been against the Zhong Miao Yi, but the Queen knew how to read the Emperor's face. She interrupted: ”I don't know what's going on with Consort Xian yet, but younger sister, it's better for you to not bother Princess Xiuyi at this time. Otherwise, the Emperor will be even more annoyed.
Since the empress had already said so, it wouldn't be good for the Imperial Consort De to not give face to the empress. After all, the emperor was still here.
The imperial physician didn't tarry for long. Soon after, his forehead beaded with sweat as he knelt in front of the emperor.
The emperor anxiously asked, ”How is Consort Xian?!”
The imperial physician heaved a sigh of relief. ”If we return to the emperor, Concubine Xian's child will be safe.”
When these words were said, the Emperor and Zhong Miao Yi almost instantly heaved a sigh of relief.
At the same time, Zhong Miao Yi saw Imperial Consort De's disappointed expression, and then put on a fake smile: ”Consort Xian is blessed with great fortune, it seems that this child is destined to be blessed, if she doesn't die from this, he will definitely have good fortune.”
The emperor didn't quite catch her words, but stood up and walked towards the Concubine Xian. The empress, Imperial Consort De and imperial physicians all followed suit.
Zhong Miao Yi stood in place and thought for a while, then silently followed him.
When Concubine Xian heard that her child was alright, she was so excited that she was crying. She held the emperor's hand but was unable to say anything.
