Caught off guard, a piercing pain came over her. Xie Yaoqing gritted her teeth and exerted a great effort to prevent herself from crying out in pain. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

Although she knew that Xiao Chengxu was helping her, Xie Yaoqing couldn't help but vent her anger on him. She glared at him angrily and said coldly, "Can't you be gentler? Do you want to hurt me to death?"

She suspected that Xiao Chengxu was taking revenge on her personally and did it on purpose, otherwise why would it hurt so much? She hadn't sprained her ankle in many years and had forgotten how painful it was when she did.

Xiao Chengxu was blamed, but he didn't show any anger on his face. Instead, he followed Xie Yaoqing's words and said, "Qingqing is right. I am clumsy. I will pay attention next time."

Xie Yaoqing was even angrier now. She raised her other foot and kicked Xiao Chengxu, her voice suddenly rising, "Next time? Do you want a next time? Do you think I'm not unlucky enough? You want to curse me on purpose."

Xiao Chengxu groaned and frowned slightly, but did not dodge and let Xie Yaoqing kick him.

Xiao Chengxu was kicked to the ground without any preparation. He lay on his back like a turtle with its shell removed, which was not a very pretty sight.

Doctor Chen, who had just come in, didn't know what to do for a moment. He didn't know whether to go forward or backward. He was very conflicted and at the same time felt unbelievable and shocked by what was happening before his eyes.

But that was the emperor, the most honorable person in the world, but now he was kicked to the ground by the queen.

What was even more surprising was that the emperor was not angry at all. Instead, he got up from the ground as if nothing had happened.

Without caring about whether his clothes were stained with dust or not, the emperor immediately went to find the empress and apologized to her humbly, as if the word "henpecked" was engraved on his body.

If it were anyone else who dared to treat the emperor like this, he would have been executed long ago. His body might have been cold and his entire family might not have survived.

Doctor Chen couldn't help but start to worry about himself. He was worried that he would get into trouble because of witnessing this unusual scene today.

"It's over!"

Doctor Chen felt cold in his heart. This was really the end. Would the emperor just go all out and secretly deal with him? After all, if this kind of thing that brought shame to the emperor got out of the news, he would definitely be the first one to be suspected.

It's just that he came at the wrong time. He didn't come earlier or later, but just when the Queen was showing off her power. What bad luck!

Doctor Chen sighed silently in his heart, his mind racing. In just a short moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind. He was even thinking about how to kneel down and beg for mercy, and try his best to calm the emperor's anger.

He could swear to heaven that he would never disclose a single word of what happened today without permission, as long as the emperor was willing to spare his life.

Just as Doctor Chen was lost in thought, Xiao Chengxu suddenly said, "What are you standing there for? Come over and see how the queen is doing."

Hearing this, Doctor Chen came to his senses, hurriedly picked up the medicine box, walked quickly to the bed, and carefully checked Xie Yaoqing's injuries.

After the wound was treated, Doctor Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead and reported to Xiao Chengxu respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Queen's injury is no longer serious. She just needs to rest well and be careful not to bump into anything. In three to five days at the shortest, or half a month at the longest, the Queen's foot injury will be restored to its original state. During this period, she needs to eat a light diet..."

Doctor Chen said a lot of things, and after listening to them, Xiao Chengxu said, "Okay, I understand. You can go down first."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

Doctor Chen responded, then picked up the medicine box and carefully left the bedroom.

If I don't leave now, when will I leave? Doctor Chen thought to himself, if I keep hanging around in front of the emperor, wouldn't that be asking for trouble? What if the emperor suddenly wants to settle accounts with him?

After leaving the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Doctor Chen heaved a sigh of relief. He was glad that he had escaped. It seemed that the Emperor did not intend to vent his anger on him. Now he just hoped that the Emperor would never think of him again. He did not want to see the Emperor's embarrassment. After leaving the Palace of Heavenly Purity, he had forgotten everything.

Feng'an narrowed his eyes and looked at the figure running away in front of him. He thought that Doctor Chen was almost sixty years old, but his legs were still very nimble and he ran very fast. He was not much worse than young people.

Could it be that Doctor Chen has some special way of keeping healthy? I must ask Doctor Chen for advice someday if I have the chance.

Inside the bedroom, Xie Yaoqing looked down at her ankles which were wrapped like pig's trotters, feeling very depressed.

If I had known earlier, I would have stayed in the farm and not returned to the palace. If I had not returned to the palace, I would not have sprained my ankle, and I would not have to endure the pain. I would not have to be like a cripple, unable to move around easily, let alone run and jump, and it would have been inconvenient for me to walk anywhere.

Xie Yaoqing, who was in a bad mood, got angry when she saw Xiao Chengxu, and said unhappily, "It's all your fault. You are so annoying. There are so many months in a year, why did you have to be born in April when you could be born in any other month?"

Although he had a vague idea of ​​the reason why Xie Yaoqing returned to the palace this time, Xiao Chengxu didn't dare to think too much about it, fearing that he was being too sentimental.

After all, given their current relationship, Qingqing would be extremely reluctant to see him, so why would she return to the palace just for her birthday?

However, when Xie Yaoqing said in person that she returned to the palace to attend the Wanshou Festival, Xiao Chengxu couldn't help but feel happy.

What does this mean?

This shows that Qingqing still has him in her heart.

Otherwise, why would you return to the palace?

The imperial palace can be said to be a sad place for Qingqing.
