Chapter 23 If She Wasn't Xie's Daughter

The military talisman brought back by Yu Qin did not stay overnight in Qifeng Palace.

In the Lingyun Hall, Emperor Mingde was sitting on a soft couch. There was a pile of memorials on the table next to him, and now there was another box.

Xie Heng stood aside, her long, silky hair simply pulled into a bun, tied with the hairpin given to her by Emperor Mingde. Although she did not speak, her red eye circles said everything.

Emperor Mingde had not seen her like this for a long time. He moved his eyes away from the military talisman in the box and stretched out his hand towards Xie Heng.

Putting her hand on Emperor Mingde's palm, Xie Heng followed his strength and sat next to him. She tilted her head slightly, refusing to look at him.

"I know that you and your nephew have been wronged. Since this child's old injury has recurred and he needs to be taken good care of first, why are you so anxious to send the military talisman?" Emperor Mingde said softly, holding Xie Heng's shoulders.

"What else could it be for?" Xie Heng said quietly, her voice filled with sobs. She turned her head with sadness in her eyes.

"Yan Gui returned to Beijing this time for her marriage and to hand over the military talisman so that the ministers in the court could feel at ease. She is a girl and does not have to go to the battlefield. As long as the ministers have promising husbands in their families, she will

There is no need for my children to fight tooth and nail!"

"Your Majesty is a benevolent king who has always cared for talented people. You left Northern Liaoning to Yangui with confidence, and Yangui has lived up to your Majesty's expectations. However, those ministers can't stand her and are suspicious of her."

"Yan Gui's return to the capital was originally a secret matter. Even my aunt didn't know about it, but it was known to everyone. They set up an ambush on the road to intercept and kill her. Fortunately, she was followed by the Feather Guards.

Just let her old injuries relapse, otherwise I'm afraid all I'll see now is her bones!"

Xie Heng swallowed even more, probably getting more and more angry, and her face turned a little pale. She covered her heart with her hand, leaned weakly on Emperor Mingde's shoulder, and began to gasp for breath.

"Come here, call the imperial doctor quickly!" Seeing this situation, Emperor Mingde hurriedly ordered outside the palace. He hugged Xie Heng, got up from the soft couch, and carried her to the inner palace.

"Don't worry, Ah Heng. I will definitely seek justice for you two. Please calm down and don't hurt your body." After many years of companionship, Xie Heng was always gentle and gentle in front of him.

Even if we occasionally got angry with him, it was just a small fight. It was the first time that Emperor Mingde was so angry like this.

"Your Majesty..." After all the trouble just now, the bun on Xie Heng's head was spread out, and her long hair was spread on the pillow. Her face looked even paler. She stretched out her hand and grabbed Emperor Mingde's sleeve.

"Ah Heng, don't say anything for now. Let the imperial doctor come and take a good look at you." Her appearance really made Emperor Mingde worried, so he hurriedly persuaded her gently.

"Your Majesty, our child is gone. I can't let go again." A tear dropped from the corner of Xie Heng's eyes, and Xie Heng's eyes were full of pain. Emperor Mingde couldn't help but pause and hold her hand.

"I promise you that she will be fine. I know that you don't believe the ministers in the court. I promise you that after Yan Gui's injury is better, let her follow the internal guards to investigate the assassination." He

He patted Xie Heng's hand gently and solemnly promised.

"I don't want to use His Majesty's love for me to blackmail me..." Xie Heng shook his head gently, with a slight breath in his voice, and his lips became paler.

"I know, I know, I am not being influenced by you, Ah Heng, please stop talking." Holding Xie Heng's hand tightly, Emperor Mingde turned to look at the door of the inner hall, his voice filled with anger.

Meaning, "Where's the imperial doctor!"

Peng Hai hurried into the palace with his imperial doctor. Without even saluting, Emperor Mingde called him to the bedside to diagnose and treat Xie Heng.

Although Xie Heng's eyes were open at this time, his gaze was somewhat distracted. Emperor Mingde stood aside with a gloomy expression.

The imperial doctor cautiously checked Xie Heng's pulse. Fine beads of sweat fell from his forehead and dripped into his eyes, but he did not dare to wipe them away.

"How is the imperial concubine?" Emperor Mingde asked immediately when the imperial doctor stopped her hand.

"Back...back to your majesty, your Majesty, this is caused by anger and anger." Kneeling on the ground, the imperial doctor spoke respectfully.

"How could such a rush of fire attack the heart?" Emperor Mingde frowned.

"Back to Your Majesty... I am already weak, and... I have been injured again. Although I used tonics to recuperate in the past few years, the results have been very little. I think she has not eaten much recently and has been worried a lot, which is why she is like this."

The imperial doctor swallowed his saliva and became more and more angry, but when he mentioned the word 'tonic', he deliberately emphasized his tone.

Emperor Mingde's eyes flashed with complexity.

The imperial doctor called by Peng Hai was the head of the imperial hospital that was specifically responsible for Emperor Mingde's health. His medical skills were there, so there was no need to doubt him.

When Xie Heng had a miscarriage, Emperor Mingde specially ordered him to take care of Xie Heng's body. The tonics she used in those years were also prescribed by this imperial physician.

"Go and prescribe medicine." After a while, Emperor Mingde waved his hand, and the imperial doctor hurriedly responded, got up from the ground, and went outside to prescribe medicine.

Xie Heng had already fallen asleep. Emperor Mingde sat beside the bed and looked at her still pale face.

Even under such circumstances, Emperor Mingde would still feel moved by looking at her like this, but...

It would be fine if she was not the daughter of the Xie family.

Concubine Xie's coma was ordered to be sealed, so the news did not spread. As for the news about the imperial doctor from Lingyun Palace, it was only said that Emperor Mingde wanted to use some prescriptions to soothe the nerves.

Naturally, no one dared to pry into the affairs of the emperor's inner palace.

At night, Emperor Mingde ordered Peng Hai to cancel the morning court tomorrow morning, which further confirmed that he asked the imperial doctor to prescribe a prescription for calming the nerves.

When Xie Heng woke up, it was already bright. Emperor Mingde was sitting aside, holding her hand with one hand and reading the memorials with the other.

Looking at the dark blue under his eyes, a complicated look flashed in Xie Heng's eyes. She moved, and Emperor Mingde immediately felt it. He turned around and said, "Aheng, are you awake?"

"Your Majesty, I am guilty." She wanted to get up, but was held down by Emperor Mingde.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Seeing that her complexion had improved a lot, Emperor Mingde asked warmly, and Xie Heng shook his head.

"You scared me last night. As long as you are okay." Nodding, Emperor Mingde asked again, "Do you want to get up and eat something?"

"Has your Majesty eaten?" Xie Heng looked at him and asked with concern. Emperor Mingde followed her example and shook his head, "I will eat with you."

He gave orders outside the palace, and not long after, Peng Hai brought the palace servants in and put food on the table.

Emperor Mingde then reached out and lifted Xie Heng up from the bed, holding her in his arms and sitting at the table.

He turned around to get Xie Heng's shoes and knelt down to put them on for her.

Xie Heng sat on the cushioned stool and lowered her eyes to look at the back of Emperor Mingde's head. The emotions in her eyes were constantly rolling, and it took a lot of self-control for her to suppress them.

Emperor Mingde did not see all this. After putting on her shoes, he raised his eyes to look at Xie Heng. When he saw her looking at him tenderly with a smile, he stood up and washed his hands.
