Another bedroom in the Palace of Heavenly Purity.

When Xie Yaoqing entered the room, she was shocked by the scene in front of her. The water in the basin held by the palace servant was a shocking red, as if the whole basin was dyed red by blood. This color was terrifying, and one could even feel a strong smell of blood coming towards him.

"This..." Xie Yaoqing couldn't help but mutter to himself, "How much blood did he spit out?"

Her eyes passed over the basin and fell on the man lying on the bed.

At this time, Xiao Chengxu was unconscious, dying, his face was as pale as paper, bloodless, and his lips were also white, revealing a strong aura of death.

This is not surprising. Under normal circumstances, who can maintain a good complexion after spitting out so much blood? Even if Xiao Chengxu is an emperor with supreme power, he is still a mortal after all and cannot escape the fate of reincarnation.

Xie Yaoqing thought about it and suddenly realized that Xiao Chengxu's face looked bad for a long time, and his lips were very light, but she didn't care at the time.

Could it be that Xiao Chengxu is really sick?

It seems that he is quite ill.

This thought made Xie Yaoqing feel even more depressed.

Thinking of this, Xie Yaoqing couldn't help but frowned.

Xie Yaoqing suddenly remembered that Xiao Chengxu had been seriously injured when the earth dragon turned over. Could it be that because he did not take good care of himself at that time, something went wrong with his body, causing him to cough up blood frequently?

So Xie Yaoqing asked about Feng'an.

Feng An has been serving Xiao Chengxu and is Xiao Chengxu's most trusted confidant. He is very clear about Xiao Chengxu's diet, daily life and physical condition.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor was indeed injured at that time, but he recovered soon after and did not suffer from any chronic illness." Feng An replied respectfully.

Hearing this answer, Xie Yaoqing raised his eyebrows and became more confused.

If it wasn't the root cause of the injury, then what was the reason?

Could it be that it was caused by the sword I stabbed him with last year?

But the wound was not fatal, nor was it that serious. She had clearly avoided all the vital points. Apart from causing some physical pain and teaching Xiao Chengxu a lesson, he should not suffer from coughing up blood.

If this is true, are the imperial doctors just doing nothing? They can't even cure such a minor injury.

Perhaps he guessed what Xie Yaoqing was thinking, Feng An quickly said: "Please forgive me, Queen, the emperor has been feeling unwell for the past six months and seems to have heart disease."

Angina?

Xie Yaoqing was extremely puzzled, wondering why Xiao Chengxu had such a problem.

At this time, the imperial doctors hurried over and saluted Xie Yaoqing first. Xie Yaoqing waved his hand and said seriously, "Let's forget about these empty formalities. Imperial Doctor Chen, Imperial Doctor Zhang, thank you for treating the emperor. Please do your best. If anything happens to the emperor, you know the consequences."

Doctor Chen and Doctor Zhang naturally said "I dare not" and said that they would do their best and would not be half-hearted, and then began to act in an orderly manner.

Xiao Chengxu's body twitched a few times, his lips trembled, and he seemed to be about to vomit blood.

Doctor Chen looked serious. He inserted a few needles with skill and accuracy. It was unknown which acupuncture points he pierced, but it was very effective. Xiao Chengxu gradually calmed down and stopped vomiting blood.

Xie Yaoqing sat outside, waiting anxiously, turning the cinnabar bracelet on her wrist constantly, trying to calm her inner uneasiness.

No matter what the past grievances were, at this moment, when Xiao Chengxu was lying on the bed with his life or death unknown, Xie Yaoqing's heart was actually not as calm as it seemed on the surface. She was far from being as calm and composed as she appeared.

If Xiao Chengxu died like this...

No, he won't die.

There is absolutely no way he could die so easily.

As the saying goes: A scourge lasts for a thousand years. How could the Hades take away a scourge like Xiao Chengxu so quickly?

An hour later, Imperial Doctor Chen and Imperial Doctor Zhang finally came out sweating profusely. As soon as they saw Xie Yaoqing, they immediately reported to her the condition of the person inside.

"How is the emperor? Is there anything seriously wrong with his health?" Xie Yaoqing asked.

"In reply to your Majesty, we have fulfilled our mission and have managed to save the Emperor. However, the Emperor has vomited a lot of blood this time, and his health has been damaged for a long time. He needs to be carefully nursed back to health in the future, otherwise..."

"What else? If you have something to say, just say it. There's no need to be hesitant. I will forgive you."

Xie Yaoqing had a cold face and a somewhat impatient tone.

The imperial doctors in the palace were like this, always hesitant to speak, unwilling to speak clearly at once, and only half of what they said was left unsaid. This was the way the imperial doctors protected themselves. If they told the truth about everything and made the superior unhappy, they would be dismissed from office at the least, or even lose their lives at the worst, so they had to be careful.

"Otherwise, I'm afraid it will affect your lifespan."

After Doctor Chen finished speaking, he bent his knees and knelt down with his forehead pressed against the ground. His whole body was as stiff as a piece of wood. He held his breath and concentrated, not daring to move at all.

Doctor Zhang standing by did the same. He kowtowed to the ground, and the sweat on his forehead slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the ground. He was sweating profusely, and his clothes were soaked.

Obviously, the two imperial doctors knew very well that what Imperial Doctor Chen said just now might bring them bad consequences, or even endanger their lives.

The person inside is the emperor. Although the words "affecting life span" are a bit euphemistic, they mean that the emperor will not live long.

Doctor Chen and Doctor Zhang were afraid that they would be punished for their words, so they knelt there trembling with fear and anxiety in their hearts.

Xie Yaoqing was not angry about this and wanted to punish Doctor Chen and Doctor Zhang. Telling the truth is not a crime. If they deliberately concealed the truth, did not report it, or distorted the facts and fabricated it, then they should be punished. If they were punished just for telling the truth, would anyone dare to tell the truth in the long run? If there is no one who dares to tell the truth around you, and everyone is flattering and flattering, wouldn't it be very easy for a person to lose his mind?

But Xie Yaoqing couldn't figure it out?

Already in loss?

Xiao Chengxu had neither suffered any serious illness nor any life-threatening injuries in recent years, so how could his health have been damaged?

If Xie Yaoqing had not known that Xiao Chengxu had never favored the concubines in the harem before, she would almost think that Xiao Chengxu was overindulging in sex and causing excessive damage to his body.

After a moment's silence, Xie Yaoqing asked, "In this case, do you have any solution?"

"In reply to Your Majesty, the Emperor is young and in the prime of his life. As long as he pays more attention and takes good care of himself in the future, there should be no problem and he can live a normal life. I will prescribe some nourishing prescriptions and try to maintain the Emperor's body." Doctor Zhang said.

"I understand. You can go down first." Xie Yaoqing waved her hand.

After Imperial Doctors Chen and Zhang left, Xie Yaoqing stood alone in the corridor, gazing deeply into the distance, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

Although the feud between her and Xiao Chengxu had not yet been resolved, she couldn't help but feel relieved when she learned that he was safe and sound.

Xie Yaoqing suddenly realized that since some time ago, her hatred for Xiao Chengxu no longer seemed as strong as before.

Once upon a time, she hated him to the core, especially when she had just been reborn. She wanted to kill him with her own hands and eat his blood alive. However, reason finally won out and prevailed, preventing her from being swayed by hatred.

Later, when she stabbed with the sword, she didn't really want to take Xiao Chengxu's life.

And now, seeing Xiao Chengxu in danger, she actually began to worry about his safety and was unable to let go of her concern for his life or death.

I have to admit that I care about Xiao Chengxu more than I thought.

At this point, she still couldn't let go of Xiao Chengxu. She couldn't just sit back and watch him die.
