Chapter 117 A heart disease requires a heart medicine doctor

Xiao Heng hurried out of Linglong Palace and headed straight for Taiji Hall. As soon as he reached the door, he jumped down, leaving the eunuchs and palace maids following him far behind.

"What's wrong with my sister?" Xiao Heng pushed open the door. Xiao Xizi, who was waiting on the side, was startled and hurried to follow, "Did you call the imperial physician?"

"Doctor Zhao is here." Xiao Xizi responded and led Xiao Heng to the inner hall.

"Why is my sister not feeling well again?" Xiao Heng just walked to the door of the inner hall and pushed it open without waiting for Xiao Xizi to open it, so he pushed it open and went in.

Doctor Zhao was bending over to take Li's pulse. When he heard Xiao Heng's movement, he handed the silver thread to a palace maid beside him and turned around to bow.

"Forget it!" Xiao Heng waved his hand, "Hurry up and check my sister's pulse."

"I have already checked Miss Li's pulse." Doctor Zhao sighed and turned around to take a look with a mysterious look.

Doctor Zhao hesitated and motioned for the Emperor to let him talk for a moment.

Xiao Heng suppressed his anxious mood and nodded. Xiao Xizi led the two of them to the side hall, stepped out consciously, closed the door for them, and stood guard at the door without moving.

"What's going on?" Xiao Heng asked impatiently, "Is there anything you can't say in front of your sister?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly!" Imperial Doctor Zhao knelt down without saying anything and kowtowed firmly. "I can guarantee with my own head that there is absolutely no problem with Miss Li's pulse."

"Even if my body is a little weak, it will not affect the fetus."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Heng asked back. In fact, the answer had already emerged in his mind.

Xiao Heng recalled what Xiao Xizi had said to him that day, and his expression darkened. "Are you saying that Li is pretending to be sick?"

"That's not what I meant!" Doctor Zhao glanced at Xiao Heng's gloomy face, and changed the way he said the words.

Hearing this, Xiao Heng breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned again, "Since you are not pretending to be sick, why did you say that there is nothing wrong with Li's pulse?"

"I think Miss Li's illness is not in her body but in her heart." Doctor Zhao paused and looked up and said, "Although Miss Li said she is physically unwell, perhaps she is mentally unwell."

"As the saying goes, heart disease needs heart medicine to cure it, which is why so many tonic soups and medicines have no effect at all."

"Heart disease? What kind of heart disease could she have?" Xiao Heng asked puzzledly.

Doctor Zhao was stunned when he heard this. It turned out that he didn't even know what the other person was worried about?

"I am not well-trained and can only treat physical illnesses. I am really powerless to treat mental illnesses." Doctor Zhao said with an apologetic smile, "Your Majesty, why don't you go and ask Miss Li in person? If there is any problem, it can be solved in time."

Xiao Heng nodded and waved his hand to let Doctor Zhao leave.

Doctor Zhao breathed a sigh of relief as he walked out of the side hall. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, quickened his pace and left the place as if escaping.

Xiao Xizi saw everything and became more certain that Li was faking illness.

"Xiao Xizi, come in!"

Xiao Heng's voice called out from inside the house. Xiao Xizi didn't dare to delay and quickly turned around and walked in, "Your Majesty?"

"Have you known about your sister's worries for a long time?" Xiao Heng turned around and looked at him with a frown.

"Psychological illness?" Xiao Xizi immediately understood. This was the reason Imperial Doctor Zhao gave to deal with Xiao Heng. He couldn't help but laugh. "I just think Imperial Doctor Zhao is not so ill as to fail to diagnose the disease. As for what Miss Li is thinking, I really have no idea."

"Hmph! Useless thing!" Xiao Heng kicked him irritably, "What do you think these girls are thinking about every day?"

"Am I not good enough to her?" Xiao Heng thought about Li, and the image of Su Minglang unconsciously emerged in his mind. When he thought about how Su Minglang was treated in the harem and how Li was treated in the harem, he felt that he had never treated Li badly.

Xiao Xizi looked at his expression and muttered to herself, how could any girl be in a good mood if she hid in this room all day long and couldn't be seen by others, listening to the news from the palace every day about her lover's affection?

However, he only dared to mutter these words in his heart. If he really said them out loud, not to mention whether Xiao Heng would take his life, just the fact that these words reached Li Peidong's ears would make his legs broken.

"Miss Li may be feeling a little bored. After all, staying in the house all day is really exhausting."

"Yeah, although the room is bright, it's still stuffy after all." Xiao Heng felt a lot better after hearing him say that.

Xiao Xizi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw his relaxed expression. "Your Majesty, do you want to go see Miss Li?"

"Of course!" Xiao Heng casually sent Xiao Xizi away and walked towards Li's room.

Li was half leaning against the head of the bed. Her skin looked much paler as she stayed indoors all day. Her listless appearance gave her a morbid beauty.

"How is your sister now?" Xiao Heng approached Li with concern and poured her a cup of warm water. "Drink more water in the house during the day. If you think plain water is tasteless, you can ask the imperial kitchen to send some sweet soup."

"I understand." Li smiled, took the teacup but put it back on the bedside cabinet. "Why do I always get sick?"

"Has Doctor Zhao found the cause of the disease?"

Xiao Heng paused, thought for a while, and decided to tell her the truth: "Dr. Zhao said that my sister has a heart disease."

"Heartache?" Li touched her chest, "But I do feel uncomfortable. Your Majesty, do you think I am deceiving you?"

"Of course I don't think so!" Xiao Heng hurriedly explained: "Mental illness is also an illness. Doctor Zhao didn't mean that Sister is pretending to be sick, but that Sister's discomfort is not caused by physical problems, but by problems in her heart."

"Your Majesty treats me so well, wishing that you were by my side every day. How could I be dissatisfied?" Li frowned and pursed her lips and said, "I should be very grateful."

"Sister, you are feeling unwell because you put too much pressure on yourself!" Xiao Heng reached out to smooth her frown, chuckled and kissed her, "There have been a lot of troubles in the palace these days, causing you to stay in the palace every day and can't go out. Sister, wait a little longer, and I will take you out of the palace to play during the autumn hunt."

"Aren't you going to bring the concubine with you on the hunt? How can you stay with me?" Li asked with some concern.

"Don't be afraid. Do I have to be with them all the time?" Xiao Heng said nonchalantly, "Sister will dress up as a palace maid and ride in the same carriage with me."
