I was given the contraceptive soup and became the emperor's white moonlight

Because of her illness, the three-day deadline had long passed, but there was no movement from Xiao Heng. Su Minglang was worried whether Li Zhao had already presented the roster to Xiao Heng, but she had no excuse to ask.

However, there has been no major movement in the Taiji Palace, which is good news for Su Minglang.

When Xiao Heng walked into Linglong Palace, what he saw was a beautiful woman with her eyes downcast, looking secretly sad, which made the hidden guilt in his heart burst out.

Ever since he knew that Su Minglang was ill and almost missed the opportunity for treatment because of his decision, he had wanted to come and visit her early on. However, on one side there were the complicated court affairs, and on the other side there was Li who was about to give birth. Today he finally found time to see her, and this was also thanks to the fact that Li Zhao's investigation had not made any progress.

For a moment, Xiao Heng didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

"What are you thinking about?"

Su Minglang was startled when she heard the voice, she raised her head to look outside the door, and saw Xiao Heng leaning against the door, smiling at her with his head tilted.

This is really a case of "speaking of the devil and finding him!" Su Minglang was just worrying about having no reason to look for him, and now Xiao Heng showed up on his own accord.

The hint of smugness on Su Minglang's lips was reflected in Xiao Heng's eyes as the hidden joy when he saw him, which made his heart, which had already been slightly touched, tremble again.

"Your Majesty, how come you have time to come here today?" Su Minglang stood up gracefully and bowed, then quickly asked the people around him to serve tea and snacks.

It was obvious that Xiao Heng did not come here to drink tea and eat snacks. He casually waved his hand to send away the irrelevant people, walked closer to Su Minglang, and reached out to pinch her soft hand hanging by her side.

"You've lost weight." Xiao Heng pinched her hands, which were more bony, with some dissatisfaction, and stroked her nose lovingly, "Did you not eat well?"

If it was a young girl in love, she would have been fascinated by his words and actions. Unfortunately, Su Minglang was no longer that age and it was difficult to be moved. However, she still had to pretend to be shy and lowered her head, letting the blush spread all over her cheeks. "No way! Your Majesty, did someone tell you nonsense again?"

"Is it Xiaoye or Nanxing? Or Xiaohe or Xiaoqing?"

"Neither," Xiao Heng helplessly pressed down her fingers that were counting, "I saw it myself."

Xiao Heng looked around and frowned, "What's wrong with the person you accepted? Don't you know that you have just recovered from a serious illness? How dare you leave the window wide open?"

"I opened it myself." Su Minglang pulled his hand and sat down, "It's none of their business."

"That's ridiculous!" Xiao Heng scolded her with a stern face, and even closed the window for her himself. "You dare to blow the cold wind just when you feel better. You have no idea what you are doing!"

"I know I was wrong!" Su Minglang pulled his sleeve and acted coquettishly, "I won't dare to do it again next time."

Xiao Heng had no way to deal with her, so he stroked her head helplessly, "I was gathering the imperial doctors to study the prescriptions during those days, and I almost delayed your treatment."

Su Minglang was stunned for a moment when she heard him say that. After she calmed down, she couldn't help but sneer. She didn't expect Xiao Heng to explain in person, and she didn't expect that Xiao Heng would be willing to put the blame on herself in order to protect the Li family.

What an enviable couple they are.

Su Minglang's mood to deal with him disappeared in an instant. She became more and more annoyed looking at the man in front of her. Thinking of how she had given her life to such a man in her previous life, a feeling of nausea swept over her body.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to say more. I understand everything." Su Minglang said sympathetically, "The imperial doctors not only have to treat the palace ladies, but also have to share your worries. I understand and will never blame your Majesty."

Xiao Heng was prepared to be questioned and complained, but he saw that she didn't even cry out of grievance. There was only sincere trust and obedience in her eyes, and the guilt in his heart surged even more.

"I intend to make you my consort. How about waiting until the prayer hall is over?"

"Your Majesty, please revoke your order!" Su Minglang knelt hurriedly, but refused to accept this favor.

Xiao Heng frowned fiercely, obviously not expecting her to refuse, "Why don't you accept my offer to make you my concubine?"

"Are you used to living in Linglong Palace? I can grant you the right to stay."

"No, Your Majesty." Su Minglang shook her head, pursed her lips as if trying to hold back her emotions and said, "It's not that I don't want to. Your Majesty is willing to grant me such a favor. I am so grateful that I can't wait to shed tears. How can I refuse?"

"It's just that I'm a little scared."

"Why are you so scared?" Xiao Heng was puzzled. Although the image of Su Minglang in his mind was changeable, none of them showed that she was a timid person.

"I am afraid that I am incompetent and unworthy of such a position." Su Minglang raised her head and her eyes were red unconsciously. "I have not been able to make any contribution to Your Majesty, and I will never have my own children. How can I be worthy of such favor from Your Majesty?"

"I said I would give you a child!" Xiao Heng retorted: "Why do you have to worry about this? Can't you feel my sincerity towards you?"

"Of course I can feel it!" Su Minglang said anxiously, but she secretly cursed in her heart. She didn't feel his sincerity, but she had felt his malice enough.

"But I am afraid, I am extremely afraid of being criticized, and I don't want my father and brother to be impeached in the court because of me."

If it was for any other reason, Xiao Heng might have just waved her hand and ignored it, but she insisted on bringing up her father and brother.

The people trained by Xiao Heng have just gained a foothold in the court, and there are many good seedlings worth cultivating in this autumn examination. Promoting Su Minglang's position at this time, isn't it telling these people the status of the Su family?

By then, if all these promising talents blindly surrender to the Su family, what would be the point of the imperial examination he held?

Obviously Su Minglang also guessed that he was afraid of the Su family, so he used this as an excuse to refuse.

But the words had already been spoken, and Xiao Heng couldn't take them back. He could only mention it once and wait for Su Minglang to refuse. Fortunately, Su Minglang really didn't want the position of concubine, so the two of them hit it off and let the matter go.

Because Su Minglang inadvertently brought up the seriousness of it, even though she declined his gift, Xiao Heng did not get angry. Instead, he looked at her with even more pity.

"It's great that you have such filial piety." Xiao Heng praised him, "Forget it, since you kept refusing, I just thought you had other reasons."

"Think about it carefully. When you feel the time is right, come find me."

Su Minglang leaned forward to express her gratitude, then raised her head and looked at him gratefully, "Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty. I am very grateful."

"I will definitely do more work, and one day I will be able to take that position legitimately."
