After Long Xiaoyuan could move, he became even more interested in training.

What could be more comfortable than walking alone?

Only the heavens knew how much pain and suffering he had suffered these past few days as a cripple!

When Shi Qingzhou came in from outside, he naturally saw the scene where Shi Qingzhou was exercising.

Shi Qingzhou walked over, "Don't be too tired."

Long Xiaoyuan shook his head with a smile. "Don't worry, it's fine."

Shi Qingzhou walked over and held his arm.

Long Xiaoyuan still shook his head. "No, I'm fine, just walk by myself."

Shi Qingzhou slightly frowned but didn't say anything in the end. He stood to the side and watched Long Xiaoyuan.

Long Xiaoyuan practiced for a while longer before he stopped.

Long Xiaoyuan wiped off the sweat on his forehead. Just as he was about to wipe his hands, Shi Qingzhou had already passed the wet kernels over.

Long Xiaoyuan received it with a smile. "Qingzhou is really understanding."

Shi Qingzhou looked at Long Xiaoyuan's clean hands before handing the kernels back to him.

Long Xiaoyuan smiled and was about to say something when someone said that Soft Imperial Consort had come over.

Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou looked at each other in surprise.

It was mainly because palace maid, the woman beside Soft Imperial Consort, had died in the well. She had been very obedient ever since she said she was going to kill herself. She didn't say anything else nor moved closer to the emperor.

It seemed a little strange for him to take the initiative to come over.

Shi Qingzhou said, "Soft Imperial Consort has always kept a low profile since the death of her subordinate, palace maid. Why would she come here?"

Long Xiaoyuan touched his chin, "This is also something I find strange."

"Then do you want to see it?" Shi Qingzhou looked at Long Xiaoyuan and asked.

Ye Zichen blinked, then asked Shi Qingzhou. What about Qingzhou? "

Shi Qingzhou shook his head. "I don't know. Let's see what she has to do."

"Ugh …" Long Xiaoyuan touched his chest. Right now, there are very few people in the imperial court who know that I am about to recover, but it's not as if she doesn't know about it. Although the Kunning Palace is already as rigid as a board, there are always exceptions … I suspect that my current situation is known to everyone who wants to know about it. "

Shi Qingzhou's gaze darkened when he heard that.

Long Xiaoyuan didn't really mind. "There's no need to brood over it. Even if you don't know, it's actually just like this. It's not a problem."

Shi Qingzhou pursed his lips. "So what do you want?"

"It doesn't matter if I meet her. If she really has a purpose, then I'll have to take a look to know."

Shi Qingzhou pondered for a while and finally didn't say anything against it.

However, Long Xiaoyuan still laid on the bed. However, he was half-lying on the bed with his back against the bed.

Shi Qingzhou covered the other party with a blanket before letting him in.

Soft Imperial Consort walked in.

"Chenqie greets Your Majesty and Empress Dowager."

This Soft Imperial Consort's voice was warm and gentle, so Long Xiaoyuan really liked her in the past.

Like Imperial Consort Shan, in the past, these two women were the most favored women.

It was a pity that the current Long Xiaoyuan was no longer the former Long Xiaoyuan. He had chosen Shi Qingzhou, so this was all the women in the harem could do.

Most importantly, these women didn't really love Long Xiaoyuan, right?

The one he loved was only Long Xiaoyuan's identity and status.

Long Xiaoyuan did not say anything, so the one who spoke was Shi Qingzhou.

"Soft Imperial Consort, get up. The Emperor can only sit for now, but he doesn't really know how to speak."

"Your Majesty …" Soft Imperial Consort's eyes were immediately filled with pain. If it was before, that Long Xiaoyuan would definitely have hugged her. But Long Xiaoyuan now... Obviously not.

Long Xiaoyuan directly ignored Soft Imperial Consort's pitiful, heartbroken, yet also had a trace of gentleness in her eyes.

Shi Qingzhou's gaze slightly darkened, but he did not say anything.

Soft Imperial Consort practically pounced on the bed with a pained expression. "Your Imperial Majesty, chenqie's heart aches and pains …"

Long Xiaoyuan blinked, but he still didn't say anything.

Shi Qingzhou finally opened his mouth blandly. "Soft Imperial Consort, imperial physician has instructed the Emperor not to be overly agitated right now. I hope that he can restrain his emotions so as to not affect the Emperor's body."

Soft Imperial Consort was startled upon hearing this. Her face also showed a trace of panic.

"Your Majesty …" "Sorry, chenqie, chenqie doesn't know."

Long Xiaoyuan blinked his eyes and finally said a few words slowly. " Nothing … You... "What is it?"

Shi Qingzhou also looked at Soft Imperial Consort. Soft Imperial Consort took out a scented handkerchief and wiped her nose.

The fragrance made Long Xiaoyuan instinctively feel a little uncomfortable.

Shi Qingzhou also frowned and looked at Soft Imperial Consort. What spices does Soft Imperial Consort's kernels use? "

"This question puzzled Soft Imperial Consort." It's just the usual orchid fragrance, what's wrong? "

Shi Qingzhou slightly pursed his lips, "Orchid fragrance?" "It seems to be a lot stronger than the fragrance of orchids."

Soft Imperial Consort still looked puzzled.

Long Xiaoyuan coughed and slowly said, "You... "What is it?"

Hearing that, Soft Imperial Consort immediately said, "Your Majesty, chenqie's mother is very ill, chenqie …" Chenqie begged the emperor to send Chenqie back to see her mother … Meet Mother... "One last time."

At this point, Soft Imperial Consort's tears fell again.

Shi Qingzhou and Long Xiaoyuan were slightly surprised when they heard that.

Soft Imperial Consort burst into tears. Your Majesty, chenqie knows that chenqie's request is a bit too much … But, but chenqie only has this one mother … Mother has always doted on chenqie since she was young … "Now that mother is so ill, father sent word in that mother wanted to see chenqie one last time. Chenqie, chenqie …"

Soft Imperial Consort burst into tears.

Long Xiaoyuan looked at Shi Qingzhou.

In fact, in his memory, Soft Imperial Consort and Imperial Consort Shan also went back once or twice a year to visit their family.

At that time, Soft Imperial Consort and Imperial Consort Shan were extremely spoiled.

Thus, their previous incarnation had only allowed them to return once or twice a year.

But after that, after Empress Shi Qingzhou was pampered and the monarch no longer stepped into the harem, Soft Imperial Consort and the others who were originally pampered never returned.

The Emperor didn't even step into the imperial harem. They had already lost their favour, so how could they return?

This time, Soft Imperial Consort came begging, but she directly said that she wanted to go back and see her mother one last time … This request was something that no one could refuse.

However, Soft Imperial Consort's father was a middle-second rank official in the imperial court.

He didn't seem to have heard anything about his wife being seriously ill …

Shi Qingzhou saw Long Xiaoyuan looking at him and said lightly, "This Palace and the Emperor are aware of this matter. Soft Imperial Consort, please go back first."

Soft Imperial Consort looked pitifully at Long Xiaoyuan when she heard that.

Long Xiaoyuan felt a little awkward. He was afraid that there might be something fishy going on, so he looked away and pretended that he didn't hear anything.

Since Long Xiaoyuan was already like this, Soft Imperial Consort knew that she would be asking for trouble if she stayed any longer.

Thus, Soft Imperial Consort bade farewell with tears streaming down her face.

After they left, Long Xiaoyuan stopped pretending and sat up a bit. He didn't speak slowly.

"Qingzhou, do you know anything about her mother's illness?"

Shi Qingzhou shook his head. "No."

"That's weird. Her father is a Grade Two Great Officer. If matriarch was really sick, there would be a little bit of it. How come you didn't know about it?"

Shi Qingzhou went silent.

"In addition, we've sent shadow guard to keep an eye on the movements of the ministers in the imperial court. shadow guard, who was in charge of that person, should go and make contact with them to see if this matter is true or false. Long Xiaoyuan said again.

Shi Qingzhou nodded. "Alright, that's exactly what I was thinking."

Afterwards, Shi Qingzhou sent shadow guard to investigate.

Roughly an hour later, the news arrived. Within the Shen Mansion, matriarch was indeed severely ill, but it was all due to the events of the past two days. Even today, it was only two days.

That matriarch seemed to have fallen down all of a sudden. Previously, her body was still healthy, but now, Lady Shen, Soft Imperial Consort's father, had already invited several famous doctors from the Imperial City over to see her. However, those famous doctors had all been sent out in the past two days … shadow guard actually reported this matter yesterday.

However, Shi Qingzhou was currently helping Long Xiaoyuan deal with the matters in the court. He was also filtering the information that shadow guard had brought, so he didn't notice this matter at the moment.

Shi Qingzhou looked through the information that shadow guard had sent him yesterday and sure enough, there were records of it.

Shi Qingzhou frowned slightly after he told Long Xiaoyuan about this in detail. Was he suddenly seriously ill? I don't know what's going on. "

"Ugh …" Long Xiaoyuan also pondered for a moment. There really is something wrong... What disease did the lady have? "

"Even the famous doctor who went there was unable to say it." Shi Qingzhou said.

Long Xiaoyuan touched his chin. Now that he was thinking about it, it seemed to have become his signature move.

Shi Qingzhou looked at Long Xiaoyuan thinking and sat on the edge of the bed.

Long Xiaoyuan thought for a moment and said, "No matter what, since she wants to go back, then let her go back. But we have to keep an eye on the people, and also bring two imperial physician from the palace to see what's wrong with that lady."

Shi Qingzhou thought about it and nodded. "Alright, that's fine too."

Long Xiaoyuan waved his hand. Let's just leave this matter at that. "

Shi Qingzhou said, "Do you want to send Zhang Yuan over?"

"No need, right?" Long Xiaoyuan said. Let imperial physician Liu and imperial physician Xu go. "

Shi Qingzhou pursed his lips. That's good too, Xu imperial physician's medical skills are also not bad. "

Long Xiaoyuan laughed. "Qingzhou, imperial physician in our palace is much better than most doctors in the people. It's time for us to be satisfied."

Shi Qingzhou smiled slightly but didn't say anything.

"People like Zhang Yuan... Oh, just like the genius doctor. " Long Xiaoyuan said again.

Shi Qingzhou agreed with that.

"Yes, Imperial Physician Zhang is indeed very powerful."

"Haha." Long Xiaoyuan laughed. "So, QingZhou is also very powerful. I know QingZhou has already subdued Imperial Physician Zhang."

Shi Qingzhou paused for a second, glanced at Long Xiaoyuan and smiled.

Wu Tie pulled Shi Qingzhou's hand over. Shi Qingzhou saw that the other person wrapped his hand around his. Then, he heard Wu Tie say, "Qingzhou's eyesight has always been good. It's because I was blind in the past."

Shi Qingzhou blinked his eyes. Do you really think so? "

"Of course." Long Xiaoyuan said firmly. Otherwise, why didn't I know about such a good light boat before? "

Shi Qingzhou slightly raised the corner of his mouth.

Long Xiaoyuan pulled Shi Qingzhou's hand, making him lean towards himself.

They hadn't been able to move much in the past few days, and neither of them had been close.

Even when sleeping at night, you can't hug someone you like to sleep. It's too painful for Long Xiaoyuan.

Therefore, after pulling Shi Qingzhou closer to him, Long Xiaoyuan kissed him.

Shi Qingzhou's eyelids slightly flickered. Then, he closed his eyes.

Then, Long Xiaoyuan couldn't help but deepen this kiss.

It was just because Long Xiaoyuan wasn't as nimble as before. Although he deepened the kiss, he didn't do anything else.

But even so, when the two of them separated, their breaths also became heavier by two times.

Seeing that he could affect Shi Qingzhou so easily, Long Xiaoyuan was very happy.

Shi Qingzhou's ears and neck were dyed with a faint pink color. That charming pink color almost made Long Xiaoyuan lose control of himself!

"A light boat." Long Xiaoyuan's voice was a bit hoarse. "What a pity …"

Shi Qingzhou knew that it was a pity, but it was a pity that he couldn't move freely and was unable to embrace …

Shi Qingzhou slowly looked away. "It's almost done."

The empress of his house was obviously shy!

Long Xiaoyuan suddenly became very excited. However, so what?

Sigh, the feeling of not being able to eat it … It wasn't something that a human could bear!

Coughing twice, he was afraid that he was too impulsive and would not be able to end the fight. Thus, Long Xiaoyuan restrained himself and quickly changed the topic after coughing.

"Qingzhou, what time is it now?"

Shi Qingzhou took a look and said, "We can have lunch in half an hour."

"Oh, time flies so quickly." Long Xiaoyuan shrugged.

Shi Qingzhou also cooperated with the other party in changing the topic.

After having lunch an hour later, Long Xiaoyuan started his medicine bath for the day.

On the other side, Soft Imperial Consort had already led a group of people out openly.

In Soft Imperial Consort's sedan chair, one palace maid waited on.

"Empress, keep your things well." Although palace maid called her 'mistress', her tone and tone were perhaps due to the fact that there were no outsiders here. Therefore, it was hard to detect any hint of respect in her voice.

palace maid was still holding a bag of medicinal powder in her hands.

Soft Imperial Consort bit her lips and took the packet of powder. Her face was pale.

The pale-faced Soft Imperial Consort said, "I've done all the things you wanted me to do …" Let him go. "

"Hur hur." palace maid smiled. "Empress, don't worry, we will definitely treat that young master well, but there are two things the Empress has yet to do. Once those two things are done, we will definitely release that person after we have reaped some benefits.

Soft Imperial Consort pursed her lips tightly when she heard his words, but didn't say anything in the end.

Seeing that, palace maid didn't say anything more. The palanquin continued moving towards the outside of the palace.

​

Long Xiaoyuan continued his medicine bath for the day after lunch.

However, he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he had a nagging feeling that … Today's medicinal bath seemed a little different from usual.

This strange feeling only lasted for a moment. In the end, Long Xiaoyuan didn't manage to catch anything.

When it was about to come up, Long Xiaoyuan felt a pang in his heart. He was stunned for a moment, then his face turned pale and he held the edge of the barrel with his hands.

Shi Qingzhou, who always accompanied Long Xiaoyuan to his side when he took medicinal baths, was also stunned when he saw this. He immediately held Long Xiaoyuan's body.

"Your Majesty! What's the matter with you? "

Long Xiaoyuan shook his head.

Right now, the medicinal bath was going on every day, but the acupuncture was done every morning, so Zhang Yuan was not there, but outside.

Shi Qingzhou saw that Long Xiaoyuan's expression didn't look right so he quickly said, "I'll get Zhang Yuan to come in and have a look."

Long Xiaoyuan shook his head. Wait till I get dressed. "

Shi Qingzhou nodded and rushed to get a towel. After wiping Long Xiaoyuan's body, he put on his pajamas and carried him onto the bed.

Then, Zhang Yuan was quickly called in.

"Your majesty, have this subject take a pulse." Zhang Yuan immediately replied without any delay.

Long Xiaoyuan nodded and stretched out his hand while sitting on the bed.

After a round of diagnosis, Zhang Yuan frowned slightly.

Shi Qingzhou immediately said, "What happened?"

Imperial Physician Zhang didn't answer immediately, but continued to check the pulse carefully.

After a moment, Zhang Yuan said, "The Emperor's pulse seems normal, but …" Something didn't seem right. May I ask what the emperor's medicinal bath feels like today? "

Long Xiaoyuan pondered for a while. Specific... It feels a little different from before, but I don't know how. When I got up, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my chest. But there's no such feeling now. "

Imperial Physician Zhang frowned even more when he heard that.

Shi Qingzhou's heart also skipped a beat. "What's going on?"

Long Xiaoyuan looked at Zhang Yuan, "Can't you tell what's wrong with your pulse?"

"There's nothing special about it. It's just that it's a little weaker than usual. However, right now, the emperor hasn't completely recovered. This kind of pulse is also considered a normal situation."

"Then, Zhang Yuan frowned even more." "But logically speaking, the medicinal bath should only get better and better every day, and I won't feel any pain now …"

Shi Qingzhou pursed his lips. "Call over the two Wu steelers and have them come over for a look. We'll have a consultation with all of you."

"Yes sir!" Zhang Yuan immediately said.

Not long after, another two imperial physician were summoned into the palace.

The three heads, imperial physician, consulted together, but could not come to any useful conclusions.

Long Xiaoyuan couldn't help but say: "Maybe..." That short period of heartache was just an accident? "

Zhang Yuan instinctively felt that something was wrong, and Shi Qingzhou also felt that it was not as simple as a surprise. Suddenly, Shi Qingzhou thought of Soft Imperial Consort's recent arrival, as well as the fragrance of orchids.

Long Xiaoyuan's expression changed slightly. He sent out the other two Liu steelers, leaving Zhang Yuan behind. Then, Shi Qingzhou asked, "Does His Majesty still remember Soft Imperial Consort?"

Long Xiaoyuan was surprised for a moment and then suddenly thought of that matter.

"That... "Orchid fragrance?" Long Xiaoyuan said.

Zhang Yuan did not know about Soft Imperial Consort's situation. "What orchid fragrance?"

Shi Qingzhou pursed his lips and said, "Soft Imperial Consort came to see you today. She said that her mother is very ill and wants to go back to see her mother for the last time. The Emperor agreed and sent two Wu steels to accompany her, and when she came here, Soft Imperial Consort took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears.

"Orchid fragrance?" Zhang Yuan frowned. If it's just a normal orchid fragrance, then it definitely won't have any effect. "

Shi Qingzhou's face sank. There's a high possibility that there's a problem with the kernels. The Emperor did not have any problems with it before, but after Soft Imperial Consort came over, there's a problem with the medicinal bath this time! "

Long Xiaoyuan looked at Shi Qingzhou's angry expression and immediately said, "Qingzhou, don't worry, it might not be like that."

Shi Qingzhou said coldly, "Now that woman's palanquin hasn't arrived at home, I will send people to chase her back."

Long Xiaoyuan paused for a moment and said, "If there's really something wrong, let her go back first before she can go back …"

"But now, even Imperial Physician Zhang can't diagnose what's wrong with the emperor's body. We can't take the risk!" Shi Qingzhou said flatly.

Long Xiaoyuan looked at Shi Qingzhou's expression and waved at Sun Tie, "Imperial Physician Zhang, go out first."

Zhang Yuan quickly went out, not daring to listen to the two most respected people in the world argue here.
