dumb queen

After Xie Chaoge in the ice water got the things, he threw them onto the shore with all his strength.

The figure in the water turned his back to the people on the bank, and no one could see Xie Chaoge's frighteningly pale face.

Bai Xuanyan felt that it was boring, and kept yelling that she was bored, so she took Xiao Jin's arm and went to the other side to enjoy the flowers.

But after the two left, Xie Chaoge did not go ashore for a long time.

He felt that his limbs were as heavy as a thousand catties, and his whole body was already numb from the sting. Even turning around was an extravagant hope. It seemed that thousands of hands were wrapping around him in the water, pulling him deeper.

A sense of suffocation followed, Xie Chaoge was dizzy, unable to stand any longer, and slowly slid into the water, the cold pond water submerged his chest, his neck, his chin, and then the top of his head .

It turned out that when it was extremely cold, I couldn't feel the pain, because that kind of ice had already penetrated into the bones, devoured the flesh and blood, leaving only an empty shell.

……

Su Jing called "Your Majesty" to the people who were leisurely admiring the flowers.

Xiao Jin didn't respond, but Bai Xuanyan glanced at Su Jing in dissatisfaction, thinking that he disturbed his solitude with the emperor.

Su Jing still bit the bullet and spoke, he was afraid that if he didn't say anything, the matter would be even more difficult to end.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xie... fell into the water and hasn't come up yet..."

Xiao Jin's eyes were gloomy, and he glanced at the lotus pond from afar.

I saw that the water surface of the lotus pond was calm, and the people standing in it had disappeared.

"It was fine just now, but now he's drowning? Who knows if he's just pretending." Bai Xuanyan said while holding Xiao Jin's arm.

Su Jing said again, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xie fainted once in the snow before, her body can't bear the cold, besides, the pond water is completely icy water..."

"If he couldn't bear it by himself, why did he go into the water? Wouldn't it be fine if he didn't pick it up? Just ask the servants to find something to pick up the paper bag..."

Before Bai Xuanyan could speak, he was suddenly thrown aside by a force, and then he watched helplessly as the bright yellow figure walked towards the lotus pond.

……

Xie Chaoge only remembered that before he lost consciousness, there was darkness and darkness in front of his eyes, and the suffocation feeling congested in his chest, which only made his throat roll with the smell of blood.

"Cough cough..."

The figure on the bed finally moved, and everyone in the hall heaved a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, you finally woke up...you really scared Xiao Mian to death..."

The person lying on the bedside crying with red and swollen eyes was Xiao Mian, and the slap marks on her face had almost dissipated.

Xie Chaoge's eyelashes trembled twice. Although he opened his eyes, he was so weak that he couldn't even stand up. He only felt that blood was still surging up, and he suppressed it several times before he could suppress it.

This is the Liushang Palace, and he has already laid back on his soft and warm bed. There are enough charcoal fires burning in the palace, making it unbearably warm.

Xie Chaoge was tightly covered with a quilt, he was already sweating a little, and the stinging pain in his body still hadn't completely dissipated, and it still hurt unbearably when he moved, but it was better than when he was soaked in ice water After a lot, he turned his head and glanced at Xiao Mian beside the bed.

Xiao Mian pursed her mouth, and was about to cry again, "Your Majesty...you...you have suffered...that concubine Bai is really a bully...how did she torture you..."

Xie Chaoge moved his arm, trying to stretch out his hand from the quilt, but with this movement, the quilt on his shoulders slipped off, revealing his smooth and white round shoulders, and the delicate skin was still slightly pink, because he was exposed to cold. Afterwards, it was tainted by the heat, and it was forcibly leached out rosy.

Xie Chaoge belatedly felt that he was naked under the quilt.

Xiao Mian stretched out her hand to pull back the quilt for Xie Chaoge, and tucked the corners of the quilt well for him.

"Your Majesty... don't move yet. The imperial doctor said that you don't have to exert any strength now, just lie down and rest. Xiao Mian knows what you want to say..."

Xiao Mian paused, "The emperor sent you back in person, and your clothes are also the emperor... The emperor also asked Imperial Physician Liu to visit you. Later, after Imperial Physician Liu left, the emperor stayed in the hall for a while before leaving. But you've been in a coma, so you don't know anything."

"Also, the emperor said that the empress doesn't need to go to Xuanyan Palace anymore."

Xie Chaoge's eyes flickered only slightly, and soon regained his composure.

After lying in the palace for a while, someone came to report that Xie Yunmu, the second son of the Xie family, had come to the palace and wanted to visit Xie Chaoge.

Xie Yunmu is Xie Yuan's second son, and also Xie Chaoge's second brother. He also holds an important official position in the court, and has always been lukewarm towards Xie Chaoge. He would not take the initiative to talk to Xie Chaoge when he was in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Now he made a special trip to the palace to see Xie Chaoge.

Xie Yunmu had already entered Liushang Palace, Xie Chaoge couldn't get up, lying in the inner hall, separated by a curtain, he could clearly see a tall figure standing in the outer hall.

Xie Yunmu said, "I have seen Concubine Xie."

Xie Chaoge glanced at Xiao Mian, and Xiao Mian replied, "Master Xie, please get up quickly, your mother fell into the water today, and her body is cold, so it is inconvenient to get up now."

Xie Yunmu said lightly, "I know this, that's why I came to visit. I don't know if the empress's body is important or not."

"Thank you, sir, for your concern. The imperial doctor has already shown it to the empress. If you want to recover as soon as possible, you still need to take care of it for a while."

"The lady must take care of herself."

After Xie Yunmu said this, he had nothing to say, just stood quietly in the outer hall.

He didn't say to leave, Xie Chaoge couldn't drive him away, and couldn't get up to see him, the atmosphere in the hall was so frozen there for a while.

At this time, only footsteps came from outside the hall, Xie Yunmu didn't turn his head to look, but smiled secretly.

Xiao Jin stepped into the hall without anyone notifying him, Su Jing followed behind, and after Xiao Jin entered, he stepped forward and closed the hall door.

Seeing Xie Yunmu in a green shirt standing in the hall, Xiao Jin was not at all surprised.

"Wei Chen has seen the emperor."

Xie Yunmu bowed respectfully.

"Aiqing calm down."

While talking, Xiao Jin walked towards the inner hall, opened the curtain and walked in.

After hearing Xiao Jin's voice, Xie Chaoge's eyes widened slightly, and he turned his head to look outside the curtain. Seeing that figure approaching, he involuntarily became nervous.

Xiao Mian was even more taken aback, and hurriedly knelt down to salute.

Xiao Jin only waved her hand to let her go down, and kept his eyes on Xie Chaoge on the bed.
