Chapter 224: The Emperor and Empress Chess Game
Here, Zheng Jinsi thought about it over and over again, but couldn't figure out what he had done right that caused the emperor to suddenly become so cold.
She was so worried that she couldn't even sleep all night.
Day 8
Xie Yu still arrived at Zhonghe Palace at night, and all the concubines in the harem suffered heart attacks.
Eighth day?
The Emperor has been favoring the Empress for eight days in a row. Could it be that the Emperor wants to favor the Empress exclusively?
No one in the harem slept peacefully that night.
After hearing this, Chen Xier was so angry that her stomach hurt. The preservation of her pregnancy until now had really cost Doctor Wang half his life.
Doctor Wang thought that the time had finally come for the fruit to ripen. In the middle of the night, just as he was about to have a good sleep, he was summoned to the palace by Chen Xier.
When they arrived, they found that there was blood on Chen Xier's lower body.
He quickly prescribed medicine to stop the bleeding, and repeatedly told Chen Xier not to get angry again, otherwise she would have a premature birth if it happened again.
Doctor Wang wrote the medicine with trepidation before he had time to look at Chen Xier's face, and stood there in shock.
What about Concubine Xi’s complexion and hair?
Sure enough, the pregnancy-preserving medicine he gave was too strong, and Concubine Xi's body could not bear it. The fetus sucked away so much of her energy.
Chen Xier had disheveled hair and looked at Doctor Wang like a devil, with bloodshot eyes.
She asked, "Doctor Wang, am I really scary right now?"
Doctor Wang was frightened by Chen Xier's horrified expression. He shrank his neck, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and replied hurriedly.
"Noble Concubine Xi, you, you are now a beautiful and charming person, how, how can you be scary?"
Chen Xier knew how horrible she looked now. She sneered, her expression becoming more sinister.
"Doctor Wang, I will give birth in a month. Please tell me, after giving birth, can my hair and appearance return to their original state?"
Chen Xier urgently needed a definite answer, as if if Doctor Wang dared to say no, she would die tonight.
Doctor Wang knew Chen Xier's cruelty and ruthlessness, and quickly shook his head.
"Your Majesty, I promise that after you give birth to the child, your hair and face will be restored to their original state immediately under my careful care."
Doctor Wang gritted his teeth and promised, and finally Chen Xier's complexion improved.
She started to slap and give sweet dates again, and gave Zishuang a look, and Zishuang stepped forward.
"Doctor Wang, please get up quickly. Our queen is in a bad mood. Doctor Wang's words will make her feel relieved. As long as our queen gives birth to a prince, she will regain the emperor's favor one day, and your status will naturally rise with it. Don't you agree?"
Doctor Wang wiped his sweat while agreeing. Everyone knew that the Empress was the Emperor's favorite now, and Imperial Concubine Xi was no longer favored.
Zhonghe Palace
Lin Junxue looked at the chess board in front of her, propped up her chin, and thought for a while.
She has found a way to break the deadlock, but at this point, she can't win and has to let go.
In a chess game, what matters is the people’s heart.
Lin Junxue shook her head as if she was thinking, looking very embarrassed, and then put the white piece to another position.
Sure enough, after Xie Yu saw her make the move, his expression softened. He reached out his hand and tapped Lin Junxue's head, very intimately, with a helpless look on his face.
"You, it's so obvious, how come you can't see the trap I set?"
Lin Junxue's bright eyes shone like stars as she stared straight at Xie Yu, who was looking helpless and doting across from her. Her eyes seemed to be filled with the clear surface of a lake into which pebbles had been thrown.
The water flows, creating ripples, and the woman's hair is exposed in a bun.
He glanced at Emei cold spring, his tone faintly a little frustrated.
"Your Majesty, you set a trap? How could I see it clearly? You don't know how good your chess skills are. How can a little girl like me see through it? Is it possible to win against you?"
Lin Junxue's surprised look completely pleased Xie Yu. This made him think of his previous worries.
Yes, Jun'er could not see through the traps in his chess game, just like she could never escape from his control, his joys and sorrows in her entire life.
In this way, he had nothing to worry about Jun'er, the queen.
It was because Xie Yu let go of the matter that he was able to enjoy the exclusive favor for these eight days.
Xie Yu's smile became more genuine. He took Lin Junxue's soft hand, kneaded it gently, and said in a deep voice:
"Jun'er's chess skills are not bad, it's just that I am better. If it were someone else, Jun'er's chess skills would definitely not be bad."
Lin Junxue smiled on the surface, but cursed in her heart
This guy is still bragging about himself. Can he please have some shame?
If she gave him a lever, she thought Xie Yu would want to move the earth.
Lin Junxue calmly withdrew her hand and spoke with interest
"Your Majesty, are you trying to comfort me? I wonder if you comfort other concubines in the same way?"
Sometimes, appropriate jealousy can greatly satisfy a man's machismo.
If you are too generous, then men will feel that you don't value him.
Xie Yu was indeed satisfied when he saw Lin Junxue's somewhat sour tone.
Jun'er still cares about going to other concubines, but she just doesn't talk about it normally.
Xie Yu couldn't help but laugh.
"Jun'er, are you jealous? I naturally won't be patient enough to coax other concubines, but only Jun'er can make me do this."
What Xie Yu said was true. Even when he was doting on Chen Xier, he had never done this before.
To him, the concubines in the harem were either used to weigh up the past dynasties or to pamper him when he was happy. It can be said that he never took them to heart.
To him, women have never been important. Chen Xier was just the type of woman he liked back then, and that's why she has been spoiled for so many years.
Now, bored, he didn't even want to take a look.
And Jun'er is indeed the first person in all these years that he is willing to spend time and be tolerant of.
Lin Junxue saw the seriousness in Xie Yu's eyes, and a cold flash passed through his clear eyes.
Then, she smiled
"Your Majesty, please coax me more from now on, okay?"
Xie Yu paused and said that for an emperor, the promise was worth a thousand gold coins.
But for a man, the promise he makes to a woman can be taken back at any time.
Xie Yu nodded, "Of course, Jun'er, don't you know how I feel about you?"
The cold light in Lin Junxue's pupils fell into the sea like a meteor and disappeared very quickly.
Xie Yu's promise is sincere now, but it will be fleeting when he breaks his promise in the future.
Don’t take it seriously. If you take it seriously, you won’t even know how you died in the end.
Today, Xie Yu can verbally indulge her to be arrogant because of his favor. If he really does that in the future, now, Chen Xier is the best example!
Chen Xier has been spoiled by Xie Yu for so many years, and she has no idea how many promises Xie Yu made to her when he was in love with her.
Even though he had some calculations of his own, in the final analysis it was Xie Yu who was cruel and ruthless.
Now, Chen Xier has ended up in the situation that Xie Yu hates.
If Xie Yu and Chen Xier were truly in love with each other, how could this happen?
This so-called true love is nothing more than a beautiful dream that Xie Yu gave to Chen Xier.
