Chapter 200 What Can I Do If I Don’t Pamper You
Using the excuse of appreciating flowers, His Majesty may think that she is sensible and appreciate her taste.
Although Concubine Meng was not sure that the emperor would come, she was 70% sure.
Because she knew that His Majesty valued offspring, this was the first time she sent someone to the Yangxin Palace to invite him, and His Majesty would give her face.
This way, she can turn the tables!
Concubine Meng could even imagine that when they went to the Cining Palace together to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager tomorrow, she would be able to slightly outshine Concubine Rou!
However, the smile on Mengpin's face... came to an abrupt end the moment she saw Chunying coming back alone!
"Why are you the only one here?! His Majesty didn't come?!"
She is not being unreasonable, so there is no reason for Your Majesty not to give her even this little respect!
Chunying knelt on the ground with a plop: "Your Majesty, please forgive me! When I arrived at the Yangxin Palace, His Majesty happened to come out and went to the Zhongcui Palace..."
Mengpin placed the teacup heavily on the table, a gloom flashed across her eyes: "Roupin also sent someone to invite His Majesty?!"
Hasn't she received enough divine favor? Why is she trying to snatch this night from me?
"That's not it."
Chunying said, "I heard from someone that Concubine Rou was injured during the enthronement ceremony. Even the people from the Ministry of Punishment were alarmed. Steward Su is investigating the matter with all his strength."
"So when His Majesty heard about it, he hurried over."
Mengpin sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes: "Do you believe this?"
"If she was really injured, how could she complete the enthronement ceremony smoothly? She is just pretending to win your majesty's sympathy so that she can snatch her away!"
Chunying said indignantly: "Madam Roupin is too cunning. Isn't it obvious that she doesn't want His Majesty to come to see her?"
Mengpin said bitterly, "She's already so restless right after the enthronement ceremony. I'm going to sue her in front of the Empress Dowager tomorrow!"
……
Zhongcui Palace.
Seeing the emperor, the palace servants knelt on the ground and said, "Your servants pay their respects to His Majesty. Long live His Majesty!"
Nangong Xuanyu walked in from outside without looking around, his steps showing a hint of urgency.
"Your Majesty, I invite you..."
Shen Zhinian wanted to stand up and salute, but was held down by the emperor: "You are injured, no need to be polite."
When they were in the Yangxin Palace, Nangong Xuanyu learned from Su Quanye that Shen Zhinian's injury was on her right foot. He lifted her right leg and took off her socks.
Shen Zhinian couldn't help but retract his feet: "Itchy..."
"I just want to see your wound."
Shen Zhinian sniffed: "The murder weapon was a relatively thick needle. There is no visible wound any longer. It just hurts a little..."
Sure enough, there was only a red dot on her foot, but there was some swelling around it.
Nangong Xuanyu felt distressed and a little angry, and said lightly: "Aren't you usually the most afraid of pain? You get so squeamish after just a little bump."
"Why did you go through such a hardship this time and still insist on holding the enthronement ceremony? Is a ceremony more important than your own body?"
Every word he said was full of blame, but also full of concern.
Shen Zhinian lowered his head and said, "If the enthronement ceremony fails, others will gossip..."
"I don't mind what happens to you, but I don't want others to think that your majesty has a bad vision and chose someone who is not worthy of the position to be promoted to the position of concubine..."
She is always like this. No matter how wronged she is, she will still think about him.
The breath that Nangong Xuanyu was holding in his heart gradually dissipated, his eyebrows and eyes gradually softened, and he asked in a gentle voice: "Does it still hurt?"
Shen Zhinian raised her head, her eyes like two bright stars, staring at him without blinking: "It was painful at first, but it stopped hurting when I saw Your Majesty."
Facing such a burning gaze, Nangong Xuanyu's heart trembled: "You are used to saying nice things to coax me."
Then, he set his eyes on Tang Luochuan who was waiting on the side: "I heard from Su Quanye that when Concubine Rou was injured, she was given painkillers and hemostatics. Will it have any adverse effects on her body or the fetus?"
Tang Luochuan cupped his hands and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, generally speaking, pregnant women cannot be given medicine casually."
"But since Concubine Rou became pregnant, the daily medicines I prescribed for her are all suitable for pregnant women. Your Majesty and Concubine Rou, please rest assured."
Shen Zhinian touched her belly and snorted, "Your Majesty, are you worried that I will not care about the safety of the heir in order to complete the enthronement ceremony?"
"So in your mind, I am such an incompetent mother..."
Handan and the others were so frightened that they dared not breathe.
Your Majesty is becoming more and more courageous when talking to His Majesty...
Little did she know that what Shen Zhinian said was based on Nangong Xuanyu's attitude towards her.
If his expression and tone were serious, she would definitely not dare to take it lightly. She would immediately stand up and kneel down to explain that she would never dare to let the royal heir suffer any harm.
But the emperor's words all showed his concern for her. If she wasn't so spoiled while pregnant, when would she be able to be spoiled?
Big works are annoying, but small works are entertaining.
"You, you..."
Nangong Xuanyu shook his head helplessly: "When did I ever say such a thing?"
So he was worried about her and the child, and was worried for the wrong reason?
Shen Zhinian wanted to use a subtle way to gradually lower Nangong Xuanyu's bottom line towards her, but gradually increase his indulgence towards her: "Your Majesty didn't say so, but he may think so in his heart."
In the past, the emperor often heard complaints from his trusted ministers that after their virtuous wives became pregnant, their tempers would occasionally become unruly, which made them smile bitterly.
He didn't understand this feeling at the time, but now he understands it. He also understands why those officials are willing to tolerate and indulge.
Because I can't bear to say it, and I can't bear to punish him, what can I do if I don't pamper him?
"I didn't mean that, don't think too much about it."
"Doctor Tang, how should we treat Concubine Rou's injury next?"
Tang Luochuan said respectfully: "Your Majesty's wound is not a problem, and no medicine is needed. Just don't get wet for the next few days, and try to avoid putting stress on your right foot."
"I understand, please go down."
"Wei Chen resigns!"
The palace maids in the room also retreated tactfully.
The emperor embraced Shen Zhinian in his arms, not letting her see the coldness flashing in his eyes: "A little palace maid wouldn't be so bold, there must be someone behind this. I have ordered the Ministry of Punishment to investigate this matter thoroughly, and I will definitely give you justice!"
She was still pregnant, and the mastermind behind the scenes dared to attack her during the enthronement ceremony. It was simply outrageous!
Nangong Xuanyu didn't even dare to imagine what would happen to him if something happened to her and the child...
Shen Zhinian pretended not to feel the heavy pressure around the emperor. She put her arms around his waist and pressed her face against his chest: "As long as Your Majesty is here, I am not afraid of anything..."
