Chapter 59 Looking forward to having a child with her
The incident at Lengyue Palace quickly spread throughout the palace, with different opinions from all parties, but all the focus was on the injury to Ximen Yourong's aunt and nephew!
Therefore, the rumors that Ximen Yourong can control Xueer are virtually self-defeating.
However, this accident that everyone thought was an accident made him feel heartbroken here in Dongling Yuanyong.
Especially after listening to Dr. Ai's description of Ximen Yourong's wounds, he wanted to go to Lengyue Palace immediately to see how badly she was injured?
But in the end, he forced himself to suppress the turbulent thoughts in his heart. His face looked so expressionless, as if Ximen Yourong's injury was nothing to him!
However, Eunuch Cao, who knew the meaning of each of his gestures, saw his forbearance.
Eunuch Cao opened his mouth and was about to say something, but Doctor Ai, who had just stopped speaking, spoke to Dongling Yuanyong before he could:
"Your Majesty, the wound on the Queen's arm is very deep and may leave a scar that is difficult to remove. However, this is all for later. What I am worried about is that the Queen is likely to have a fever in the past two days due to the wound. This fever
, also means that the wound is difficult to heal..."
Dongling Yuanyong finally frowned and said to Doctor Ai calmly:
"Mr. Ai takes care of this kind of thing by himself and treats it carefully. There is no need to explain it to others one by one."
"Your Majesty said that I should know how to fulfill my responsibilities. However, if it is a common wound inflammation that causes a fever, I will not bother to report to Your Majesty. But with the Queen's constitution...I am afraid that I will not be able to help you!"
Dr. Ai's words were confusing, but Dongling Yuanyong probably guessed what Dr. Ai meant by "physical constitution".
The worried expression on Doctor Ai's face made Dongling Yuanyong feel his heart twitching, but he just asked casually:
"How is the queen's physical condition?"
"The Queen has severe cold syndrome, which is almost irreversible."
"Cold syndrome?"
Of course, Dongling Yuanyong was not surprised by Doctor Ai's diagnosis, but Ximen Yourong suffered from "cold poison" that was much more serious than cold syndrome.
Doctor Ai thought he didn't understand, so he tried to explain in detail:
"Your Majesty has been close to the Queen every day recently, and he must have discovered that the Queen's body temperature is low, especially in her hands and feet. Chill is a common constitution of women, but most people..."
"Tell me the conclusion."
Dongling Yuanyong raised his eyes and interrupted Dr. Ai's detailed explanation. Dr. Ai was not embarrassed and said in a numb voice:
"The conclusion is that if the Queen has a fever, she will be so uncomfortable that she would rather die!"
Dongling Yuanyong's clenched fist tightened again, and he fell silent for a moment and said coldly:
"Then let her suffer for a while. Who wants her to be easy to raise? She has to raise a beast!"
Dr. Ai's old but energetic eyebrows were slightly raised. He looked at Dongling Yuanyong, who was almost expressionless. If anyone else could see Dongling Yuanyong's duplicity, it must be Dr. Ai.
During the days when Dongling Yuanyong was deliberately injured and Ximen Yourong went to Longtai Hall to "serve" him day and night, Doctor Ai stayed at Longtai Hall and was on call at any time, as if Dongling Yuanyong's injury was serious!
In fact, if Dongling Yuan's injury was treated normally, he would be no different from ordinary people in three to five days at most, but Dongling Yuanyong asked him to deliberately slow down the speed of wound healing.
After Ximen Yourong arrived at Longtai Hall, Dongling Yuanyong saw almost no one due to his injury and did not go anywhere. He just stayed in the dormitory to "recuperate".
When Dongling Yuanyong's eyes peeked at Ximen Yourong from time to time, Imperial Physician Ai realized that His Majesty was taking the opportunity to face the Queen day and night!
However, Dongling Yuanyong would be indifferent to Ximen Yourong's injury, and he might have another plan.
Otherwise, Imperial Physician Ai would not believe that Dongling Yuanyong would suddenly ignore Ximen Yourong!
However, no matter what Dongling Yuanyong's plans were, Imperial Physician Ai didn't care that much, but he didn't know whether he wanted to isolate people intentionally or unintentionally. He looked at Dongling Yuanyong and sighed:
"Alas! The Queen is really a strange woman. Her wounds were so deep that she could even see the bones. An ordinary woman would have fainted from the pain. But the Queen was concerned about the safety of Young Master Ximen and did not say a word. It can be seen that the Queen
How much the Queen cares about Young Master Ximen. If the Queen cannot avoid having a fever tonight, how miserable it will be for her..."
"Mr. Ai, you can go down now..."
Dongling Yuanyong cut off Dr. Ai's tirade in a cold voice, not because he didn't want to hear it, but because every description that Dr. Ai said made him feel extremely sorry for that woman!
Seeing his cold and dark expression, Doctor Ai stopped saying anything. He originally bowed and was about to retreat, but just as he turned around, he turned back to face Dongling Yuanyong and said:
"Your Majesty, um... there is another matter that I think I should inform your Majesty!"
"What's the matter?" Dongling Yuanyong lowered his head and wrote something. He did not look at Dr. Ai.
"About the Queen's cold syndrome...!" Doctor Ai hesitated.
"Any questions?"
Dongling Yuanyong had long known that Ximen Yourong's body was special, and he thought he was not worried about hearing any more serious consequences.
However, Doctor Ai said:
"There must be a big problem. It may be difficult for the Queen to conceive, or she may even be unable to conceive!"
Doctor Ai's words finally caused Dongling Yuanyong to pause in his writing movements. The ink on the tip of the pen directly seeped into the paper he was writing on. He raised his eyes and looked at Doctor Ai and said softly:
"Is this diagnosis absolute or possible?"
"This old minister really doesn't dare to say for sure, but with a high probability, considering the Queen's extremely cold physique, it can be regarded as an "absolute" result."
Dongling Yuanyong was silent for a while and said:
"Don't let anyone know about this."
Doctor Ai bowed to show that he knew what to do, and then withdrew.
Eunuch Cao, who had been silent all this time, looked at Dongling Yuanyong's face that had become deep and cold. He took a step forward and asked warmly:
"Your Majesty, do you want to move to Lengyue Palace?"
Dongling Yuanyong did not hear Eunuch Cao's question at this time, because he was thinking about the "conclusion" that Imperial Physician Ai just said.
He knew that there was something wrong with Ximen Yourong, but he never thought about the possibility that she could not conceive.
However, as Dr. Ai mentioned, it seems reasonable that the cold poison in Ximen Yourong's body caused her to have a strange constitution and be unable to conceive.
However, at this time, he also knew that he was very unwilling to accept the possibility that Ximen Yourong could not conceive children with him.
Although Taiyi Ai's medical skills are not at the pinnacle, they are absolutely exquisite. If he directly gave that judgment, it proves that his medical skills cannot adjust Ximen Yourong's physique. Otherwise, he would not make such a conclusion!
Ever since Ximen Yourong gradually moved into his heart, Dongling Yuanyong occasionally imagined the possibility of them having a child. He found that not only did he not reject that kind of imagination, he even looked forward to it...!
The sudden accident in Lengyue Palace was very sensational, but what puzzled everyone was that Dongling Yuanyong not only did not go to Lengyue Palace to show concern, but instead treated him indifferently, as if Ximen Yourong had fallen out of favor!
However, after You Kouyi in Xiangyun Palace heard the news, she did not feel happy because of these phenomena. On the contrary, she became even more worried.
Manzhi, who didn't know what she was thinking, was happy for her and said:
"My Lady, it seems that we have gained a lot this time. Should we strike while the iron is hot and completely turn the Leng Yue Palace into a cold palace, so as to avoid long nights and dreams?"
"Harvest? What did we gain?" You Kouyi said indifferently.
"There is a gap between Ximen Yourong and Your Majesty. Isn't this a good result?"
"That little gap will not make Ximen Yourong lose the throne of the Queen, nor does it mean that she will lose His Majesty's favor from now on."
"That's why I asked your Majesty, should we take this opportunity to make Ximen Yourong take off the "phoenix crown" on his head? As long as we strike harder, maybe..."
"The phoenix crown on Ximen Yourong's head was put on by the Dongling ancestors. Do you think we can take it off so easily?"
You Kouyi was in a irritable mood, almost angrily scolding Manzhi for his whims.
Manzhi didn't understand. You Kouyi was obviously very satisfied with the news that Dongling Yuanyong left Lengyue Palace in anger last night.
It stands to reason that this morning, Ximen Yourong was bitten by the fox he raised but Dongling Yuanyong did not show any concern. This should be a happy result for You Kouyi, but the look on You Kouyi's face
But there was no joy at all.
You Kouyi's knowledge is not that of an ordinary shallow woman. If you only look at the superficial results, she should be happy.
However, her careful personality makes her sensitive to the unusual.
It was she who asked her father, You Zhongru, to secretly incite the courtiers to object to Ximen Yourong's aunt and nephew being together, and then she remonstrated with Yuan Yong of Dongling, asking him to order the separation of Ximen Yourong's aunt and nephew.
The purpose of You Kouyi's plan was not to act recklessly, but because she boldly guessed that Dongling Yuanyong did not care at all about the continuation of Ximen's bloodline.
Taking a step back to think about it, even if Dongling Yuanyong is really willing to let Ximen's bloodline survive safely, he will definitely think about the possible consequences in the future.
As long as Dongling Yuanyong is still a bit taboo about the existence of Ximen's bloodline, You Kouyi has the confidence to drive a wedge between Dongling Yuanyong and Ximen Yourong on this issue.
You Kouyi thought she had achieved this goal. According to her expectation, if Dongling Yuanyong ordered Ximen Yourong to be separated from his nephew, Ximen Yourong would resent Dongling Yuanyong because of this. Then her ultimate goal was
Really achieved!
However, this morning, Ximen Yourong's aunt and nephew were injured by a fox, which made You Kouyi vaguely feel that things were not as smooth as she imagined.
First of all, the rumors that Ximen Yourong has the art of fox charm are almost gone forever, and Ximen Yourong will become an innocent person framed by others. Who wants to say that Ximen Yourong has sex with foxes again, that is slander!
Another thing, she didn’t think that Dongling Yuanyong would ignore Ximen Yourong just because he and Ximen Yourong had an unpleasant quarrel last night. Unless all his previous love for Ximen Yourong was fake, but could that be fake?
?
If it is not false, it proves that Dongling Yuanyong may be protecting Ximen Yourong in a way that others don’t know!
You Kouyi suddenly got chills because of this conjecture, but it was not because of jealousy, but because of fear!
She was afraid that Dongling Yuanyong already knew some secrets that she could not and did not dare to reveal now... Could it be that Dongling Yuanyong really knew something, so he ignored her so far?
