Chapter 88 World 2: The Cold Emperor and the Spoiled Concubine (35)
The sun is shining brightly in winter.
It’s almost the end of the year and it snowed last night. The entire palace is covered with a thick layer of snow, looking like a blanket of silver.
There are only two months left until the Queen's coronation ceremony, and today marks one month since Bai Lingxi's postpartum recuperation.
Since there was only one lady in the harem who was about to be crowned as queen, the entire harem was peaceful and tranquil. The palace servants lived much more peacefully. At least they did not have to worry about losing their lives due to harem struggles.
It was the end of the year, and logically, the palace was so peaceful and should be full of joy, but the emperor did not smile the entire day and looked very serious.
There was once a foolish palace maid who wanted to seduce the emperor when the empress in Qianling Palace was not available to sleep with him. The emperor ordered her to be beaten to death.
Therefore, even during the New Year holidays, the palace servants served with extra caution, for fear of accidentally angering the emperor and then dying without knowing how.
Some people below speculated that the emperor's moodiness this time was related to Empress Qianling Palace, and this speculation was not groundless.
It's strange to say, Bai Lingxi's body started to recover slowly last time. Logically, she should be getting healthier and healthier, but for some reason, she has been getting worse recently.
Bai Lingxi seemed to have noticed this as well. The vitality in her body was slowly fading away, and she always felt low in energy. Of course, for fear that Zhou Changling would worry, she had been holding on in front of him.
I want to ask Zhou Changling if he knows?
How could he not know? They had been together for so long, day and night, snuggling together, he wished he could spend the whole day with Bai Lingxi, but...
Zhou Changling had no choice but to seek medical treatment and medicine every day, and to comfort Bai Lingxi so as not to reveal the truth in front of her.
The medicine has not been found, so Zhou Changling can only ask someone else to look for it. That is his only hope!
It didn't take long for Zhou Changling to find out the whereabouts of Zhao Xueqing because he found out that the evil woman had actually run away.
He was busy for several days and finally found out the whereabouts of the other party. Moreover, the secret guards couldn't catch him at all.
Only Zhou Changling could easily find out the opponent's hiding place, and only when he was sure of it could the secret guards barely find it.
Zhou Changling was shocked at first by this mysterious thing. He didn't understand it and couldn't figure it out.
Until one day, when he saw the book that Bai Lingxi was reading, a terrible thought slowly emerged in his mind. Maybe...
He is like the hero in a storybook, it is only right for him to be with the heroine!
In the imperial study, the graceful and curling sandalwood was burning. Recently, Zhou Changling had become increasingly anxious, and he lit the sandalwood to calm his mind, trying to calm himself down and recall all the details.
Zhou Jin wondered why Xier's body was getting weaker and weaker. She was almost recovered, and the imperial physician also said that Xier's pulse was strong and powerful.
It seemed that ever since the last culprit died, Xier's health had been getting worse day by day. All the doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau were unable to find the cause of the illness, and a feeling of powerlessness swept over him.
The appearance of Zhao Xueqing gave him hope, so he had to catch her back! If the secret guards couldn't do it, he would do it himself.
Thinking of this, Zhou Changling lowered his eyes and looked at the latest intelligence brought by the secret guards on the table. He finally made up his mind. Let him go in person tomorrow!
??
The news that Zhou Changling was going to leave the palace spread like wildfire. When it reached Zhou Jin, he smiled slightly. He finally got this opportunity!
Zhou Jin waited for this day for too long, but fortunately he finally waited for the most suitable time!
Qianling Palace.
at night.
Bai Lingxi was awake for a rare moment and in good spirits. She asked the nanny to bring the little prince to her. The child was not even a month old, but the red skin he had when he was born had already faded. He was now fair and tender and very cute.
"hey-hey!"
"An'er, take a look at the little tiger, do you like it?"
No matter what interesting things Bai Lingxi took out, the little prince's eyes never left Bai Lingxi. He stared at her without blinking, laughing from time to time, as if he could never see enough of her.
Bai Lingxi's eyes became softer and her whole body seemed to be radiating light. The servants around her were stunned and could not come back to their senses.
When Zhou Changling came in, the room was particularly quiet. He thought Bai Lingxi had already rested, so he didn't let anyone know. Unexpectedly, he saw a scene that he would never forget.
The woman was charming and attractive, with porcelain-white skin and a pair of clear and beautiful almond-shaped eyes. Although she was already a mother, she was even more delicate and pretty than an unmarried girl.
Her white fingers were teasing the child, but she herself was amused first, as if a fairy had descended to earth. Her smile was gentle and moving with bright eyebrows and white teeth. Even the candlelight favored her, shining on her face, revealing clear contours and skin as tender as a peeled egg.
"Xi'er."
Zhou Changling murmured unconsciously, his eyes slightly red. It had been a long time since he saw such a lively person. Because of some official business, every time he saw Bai Lingxi, she was either asleep or listless. It had been really a long time.
At this time Zhou Changling still thought that time was long and that their relationship would get better and better and closer in the days to come. Little did he know that what was waiting for him would be heart-wrenching pain.
Perhaps it was because his gaze was too scorching. Bai Lingxi looked up suddenly and saw Zhou Changling's eyes, which had not yet been retracted. The love in his eyes could not be hidden and was revealed directly.
Sometimes Bai Lingxi couldn't understand these emotions, but she believed in her intuition. She felt that although Zhou Changling's gaze was scorching, she actually felt a little happy in her heart.
So Bai Lingxi got off the bed first, held the little prince firmly in her arms, and walked towards Zhou Changling with graceful steps.
At that moment, Zhou Changling felt that there was no happier thing in the world. There seemed to be a huge peach tree in front of him, with petals falling everywhere, and Bai Lingxi was walking towards him step by step on the flowers, with the fragrance of flowers intoxicating him.
"Husband?"
Bai Lingxi looked at Zhou Changling who was standing there, and looked into his eyes with a smile. Their eyes met, and it seemed as if there were thousands of words that were all said at this moment.
“Ahhh.”
In the end, the little prince saw that his mother's attention was all attracted by the man in front of him, so he babbled a lot and waved his little hands around.
"you--"
"you--"
The two smiled at each other. Zhou Changling tried hard to suppress the emotions that were constantly surging in his heart. He took the initiative to step forward and took the little prince from her. He held the child in one hand, but still held him steadily.
The other hand held Bai Lingxi's slender waist and asked softly, "Xi'er, how are you today? Did this brat bother you?"
Zhou Changling had reasons to say this, because the little prince had been crying unusually loudly since he was born, and after waking up, he would cry non-stop when he couldn't see his mother or smell the familiar scent.
The crying sound could be heard throughout the Qianling Palace. No matter how the nanny tried to coax the baby, it was useless. She had no choice but to bring the baby to Bai Lingxi.
