Chapter 158: Imperial Concubine's Miscarriage
Chapter 158: Imperial Concubine's Miscarriage
Beitang Yuan braved the wind, frost, rain, and dew, and traveled day and night, but it took him only half a month to reach the border town of Xuanhuang Imperial City, which should have taken him more than a month. He still had two days to go before he could see the woman he had been dreaming of. If he hadn't been taking this soldier back to the Imperial City to report on his duties, he would have wanted to gallop to the woman's side immediately...
Maner, we will meet soon.
Wait for me, Maner...
Also on the official road to Xuanhuang Imperial City, a troop of soldiers was also heading towards Xuanhuang Imperial City. In the luxurious carriage sat Mo Tianao, who could not hide his excitement, and Gu Yue, who was always indifferent.
Ever since Mo Tianao knew the truth, he had wanted to go to the Imperial City immediately to see the beautiful figure that had been in his heart for a long time. It was that one glance at Qingshuiju that made him remember and love her for five years.
Just like he once said, she was not a beauty, but he was attracted by her pure and innocent soul, like a fairy. He loved her soul...
There are always people who love because of external things. That is a superficial love that cannot stand the test of time. However, if you love because of the inner self, love will only become deeper as time goes by...
I love you just because of your soul, it's that simple.
Xuanhuang Imperial City, Imperial Palace, (Shengling Palace)
Liu Ruxu was sleeping in front of the bed, groaning and moaning. A room of imperial doctors knelt on the ground to check her pulse. Baili Haoxuan paced back and forth in the hall anxiously. Leng Ruoning sat beside the coffee table, also a little worried.
After the court session today, someone came to say that the Imperial Concubine was feeling unwell and kept holding her stomach and crying in pain. When Baili Haoxuan heard about the stomach, he thought of the child and rushed to Shengling Palace in a hurry.
He and Yan'er have already lost a child, and it is an irreparable regret. It is a great pain in his heart, and he cannot let history repeat itself.
The imperial physician was taking her pulse and he couldn't go over. Liu Ruxu kept moaning, which disturbed his mind, so he could only pace back and forth.
Whenever he encountered Sang Yuhanyan's problems, he lost his calmness and self-control. Was it because he loved her too deeply, or was it because he was too sad...
"Your Majesty..." Leng Ruoning called out.
"Hmm?" Baili Haoxuan turned his head to look at Leng Ruoning and replied.
"Your Majesty, please sit down first. The Imperial Concubine will be fine." Leng Ruoning persuaded calmly. Although her heart was calm, this man was still the man she had loved for more than ten years. She would still care about him, after all, they were still husband and wife.
"Yeah." Baili Haoxuan sat down. Leng Ruoning brewed a cup of hot tea and handed it to Baili Haoxuan. Baili Haoxuan took it and put it down again. He really didn't have any thoughts at all now.
After looking at it, Leng Ruoning shook her head and sighed.
Perhaps, she doesn't understand this kind of love between two people.
A chief imperial physician came over, knelt down in front of Baili Haoxuan, and greeted him: "Your Majesty, Wan..."
"Alright, it's already this time, forget it. How is the Imperial Concubine?" Baili Haoxuan waved his hands irritably and asked anxiously.
"Your Majesty, the Royal Concubine seems to be showing signs of miscarriage..." The imperial physician raised his eyes to see Baili Haoxuan's expression, and spoke in a softer and softer voice, lowering his head to be ready to accept the emperor's wrath at any time.
"Miscarriage?" Baili Haoxuan asked in surprise. Even Leng Ruoning, who was standing next to him, changed her expression.
"Yes."
"How could it be possible? Hasn't the Imperial Concubine been receiving care from the imperial physicians of your Imperial Hospital? How could she have a miscarriage?"
"The Imperial Concubine seems to have fallen, so..."
Baili Haoxuan stood up, kicked away the imperial physician kneeling in front of him, and said, "Waste."
Leng Ruoning understood what was being said and told the imperial doctors to prescribe medicine to protect the fetus. Then she took the imperial doctors and palace maids out of the room, leaving the space for them.
Baili Haoxuan walked to the edge of the bed with heavy and anxious steps, sat down, and looked down at the woman on the bed.
When Liu Ruxu saw Baili Haoxuan, tears welled up in her eyes and she couldn't hold it back and they flowed down. Baili Haoxuan raised his slender hand and gently wiped away the tears.
Liu Ruxu wanted to stand up, but Baili Haoxuan held her down and said softly, "Have a good rest and don't think about anything."
"Your Majesty...am I really useless?" Liu Ruxu said with tears in her eyes and a choked voice.
"How could that be? My Yan'er is the smartest woman in the world." Baili Haoxuan comforted her softly, the love in his eyes evident.
"But, I almost couldn't even keep the child..." Baili Haoxuan immediately put his finger on Liu Ruxu's lips while she was still talking, silencing everything she said.
"Don't say those words, okay?" What she said now would only be like a sharp knife, stabbing into his heart with every word.
"Your Majesty, doesn't want to know why I almost had a miscarriage?" Liu Ruxu gently took away Baili Haoxuan's hand on her lips and said lightly.
"Yan'er, do you want to tell me?" How could he not want to know, but he couldn't bear to ask.
"I went to the cold palace." Liu Ruxu looked at Baili Haoxuan's face. Even though Baili Haoxuan kept wiping the tears from her eyes, they still couldn't stop flowing...
Baili Haoxuan didn't say anything else. He just picked up Liu Ruxu, held her in his arms, and hugged her tightly without saying anything.
After Baili Haoxuan soothed Liu Ruxu to sleep, he immediately issued an order.
The woman in the cold palace was stripped of her title of concubine, demoted to a commoner, and married to an old eunuch in the palace...
