Chapter 443 You take risks and make me worried

When He Linzhang heard the report that Concubine Tao was injured and unconscious, he felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave.

He went to the palace gate to greet her in person, and when he saw the carriage he hurried over to pick her up. Unexpectedly, Tao Yanyan had already fallen into Gu Yi's arms, unconscious.

His eyes darkened as he looked at the pale-faced concubine. Now was not the time to worry about these things.

Qi Yizheng stepped forward to plead guilty: "Your Majesty, it was my negligence that caused the Imperial Concubine to be in danger. I deserve death!"

He Linzhang had no time to pay attention to him at all. He was only focused on taking Tao Yanyan to see the imperial physician.

He took Tao Yanyan in his arms and carried her directly to his sedan chair: "Quick, go to the Qinzheng Palace!"

The imperial carriage hurried away, and Qi Yizheng pulled Jiang Yingying and said, "Hurry up and follow us. Ask the imperial physician to help you!" Qi Yizheng also told Qingfeng a few words, asking her to help look after Jiang Yingying.

Qingfeng was now in a state of confusion. He nodded perfunctorily and trotted away with Jiang Yingying following the imperial chariot.

Gu Yi didn't care about the emperor's cold eyes just now, and insisted on following him. But Qi Yizheng couldn't follow him, because he had to interrogate Cang Xuan.

In the emperor's bedroom, Doctor Liu removed the bandage on Tao Yanyan's arm and saw that although the wound was not too deep, it was in pieces. The originally smooth and white arm was now covered in blood.

"The clothes are thin in summer, so the arm was scratched. If it was thicker in winter, it might not be so serious. But Your Majesty, please rest assured that the Royal Concubine only suffered skin injuries. They will heal with some scar-removing ointments in the future, and there will be no visible scars at all." After examining the wound, Doctor Liu cleaned and disinfected it, sprinkled it with golden wound medicine, and re-bandaged it with a clean cloth.

After treating the external injuries, Doctor Liu finally had time to feel Tao Yanyan's pulse. This feeling frightened him so much that he broke out in cold sweats.

In order to verify his diagnosis, Doctor Liu took a deep breath and followed up with another consultation.

He Linzhang stood by and watched what Doctor Liu did. He couldn't help but feel worried.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" He Linzhang clenched his fists and asked carefully, his tone revealing panic that he himself didn't even notice.

After a long while, Doctor Liu gently raised his hands, clasped his fists and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is pregnant!"

"What?" He Linzhang's eyes lit up for a moment, but then he became worried again: "She was injured, will...will it have any impact?"

He Linzhang was really worried now because he had used medicine when cleaning the wound just now.

Doctor Liu comforted her, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. The medicine I gave to the Imperial Concubine will not cause any harm. However, the Imperial Concubine was a little too frightened this time, and the fetus is too young and has not yet settled down. You should be careful."

He Linzhang's heart was in suspense again. He looked at Tao Yanyan who was still unconscious and asked, "When will she wake up?"

Doctor Liu estimated the time and conservatively said, "About half an hour. After you wake up, the effect of the medicine on the wound will slowly dissipate, and you may feel some pain. Your Majesty is pregnant, so it is not appropriate for her to take painkillers. Therefore, your Majesty can only endure the pain until the wound is completely healed."

He Linzhang felt a sharp pain in his heart. Normally, the little concubine would act like a spoiled child even at the slightest pain. Now that her arms were scratched with so many cuts, she wondered how painful it must be.

He waved his hand to let everyone go out, and stayed with her alone, waiting quietly for her to wake up.

Qingfeng was now feeling angry, annoyed and happy. He was angry because he did not go to protect his master, but he was happy because his master was pregnant!

She followed the crowd out of the inner hall, looking back several times along the way. When she left the inner hall, she found that Jiang Yingying was still bleeding, so she hurriedly asked Doctor Liu to bandage her wound.

"The girl's injury is lighter than that of the imperial concubine." Imperial Doctor Liu disinfected and cleaned the wound for her, and also sprinkled ointment on it before bandaging it.

Thinking of how the Imperial Concubine had protected her in the critical moment, Jiang Yingying said gratefully, "It was the Imperial Concubine who saved me. She pushed me aside a little and stood in front of me, so I was less injured."

When Qingfeng heard this, he said unhappily: "Didn't I tell you to protect my master well? Why are you asking my master to protect you instead?" Qingfeng was so angry that he didn't care about the feelings.

Jiang Yingying understood Qingfeng's current mood, so she didn't get angry. She just apologized and didn't say anything.

Gu Yi was waiting outside. He already knew that Tao Yanyan was pregnant. He couldn't describe how complicated his mood was. It was a mixture of bittersweet and sour. He was happy for her as she finally had her own child, but he also felt extremely lost and empty inside.

"Qingfeng, you'd better go back to Changle Palace as soon as possible to get new clothes for the Empress to change. The clothes are now stained with blood and I'm afraid they can't be worn." Eunuch Zhang reminded.

Qingfeng wiped away her tears and nodded: "Thank you, Eunuch Zhang, for keeping an eye on me. I'll be back soon." After taking two steps, she turned back and said: "Come with me to Changle Palace. I'll send you out of the palace after you recover from your injury. I'm busy now and don't have time to take care of you."

Jiang Yingying stood up. She was now in an unfamiliar palace and it was indeed inappropriate for her to stay here, so she had to leave with Qingfeng.

Seeing them walk away, Eunuch Zhang smiled and said to Gu Yi: "General Gu, please leave the palace first. The queen is fine, and His Majesty will not summon her for a while."

Gu Yi took a look inside, retracted his gaze, and said lightly: "Okay, then I'll go first. If anything happens... forget it, His Majesty is here, he will naturally take good care of her, and she will be fine." Gu Yi turned around, and his figure dragged very long under the summer sun.

Tao Yanyan woke up after almost an hour, and when she woke up she saw He Linzhang standing by the bed with red eyes.

"Are you awake? Does it still hurt?" He Linzhang didn't dare to move her arm, so he could only hold her hand carefully and wrap her small hand in his big hand.

Tao Yanyan took a moment to calm down, looked around, and said, "I am fine. Fortunately, the shadow guards arrived in time and the bullet did not hit me directly. Otherwise, I would never see Your Majesty again."

He Linzhang hurriedly covered her mouth: "What nonsense are you talking about? You and I will grow old together, for eternity, don't say such depressing words! However, since you took such a risk this time, I really want to punish you!"

Tao Yanyan choked and frowned: "I'm already injured, and Your Majesty still wants to punish me! Humph..." Suddenly she became a little emotional and couldn't help but reddening her eyes.

When He Linzhang saw that the person was crying because of him, he hurried to comfort her: "Alright, alright, I won't punish you, okay? You took my flesh and blood to take risks and made me worry and fear, and I can only bear it!"

Tao Yanyan was a little stunned, and after a while she asked, "I didn't bring the children with me?"

He Linzhang smiled softly and stroked her belly with his big hand: "You are pregnant, you little fool."
