Chapter 388: The Case
Yao Jia did not pull her hand back this time. Instead, she stared into his eyes that were full of pleading and confusion, and said slowly: "The world is big, I want to go and see it."
"Take a look?" Xiao Fengyi frowned slightly, as if he was not satisfied with this simple answer.
He held Yao Jia's hand tightly, as if he was afraid that if he let go, she would disappear into his own world.
"Yes, go see this vast world, experience different lives, and pursue those unknown mysteries."
Yao Jia's eyes flickered with desire and yearning for the unknown world. "I once thought that I would also bear the Nangong family's short-lived curse. It turns out that the curse is just a shackle. As long as it is broken, it will no longer exist. When I leave, I am breaking through that shackle."
Xiao Fengyi was silent for a long time, and then he understood why the late emperor had asked him to make those oaths.
It turns out that what was passed down among the emperors, that the Nangong family repaid the good deeds of the Xiao family, was true.
Nanshan, why are you always so accurate in your predictions?
Letting her stay would only shorten her lifespan.
He slowly loosened his hand, a trace of helplessness and relief flashed in his eyes, he stood up and hugged her tightly in his arms, his tone full of reluctance.
"Yaoyao, I'll let you go... I'll let you go..."
As he spoke, his voice began to tremble and there was a hint of crying in it.
"I can't let you bear the curse again, and I can't let the Nangong family pay for the Xiao family's debt..."
The Xiao family's foundation of thousands of years has never been shaken. In the past, he always thought that his ancestors governed the country well, but ignored the sacrifices made by the masters of the Tianxing Pavilion for the people.
"But please promise me that you will not resign from the position of Imperial Master."
"Your Majesty..." Yao Jia wanted to refuse.
"Yaoyao." Xiao Fengyi let her go, "Listen to me and finish what I have to say."
The phoenix eyes gazed at her affectionately and spoke softly.
"Master Imperial Master, no matter where you go, I and the entire Great Xia will always be your solid backing. If one day you get tired, remember that this is your homeland, your roots. On this land, I and your people are waiting for you..."
Yao Jia was deeply moved.
He has already made a lot of concessions, so I really have no reason to refuse.
He bowed to him and said, "I accept your command. Thank you."
He raised his hand to help her up slightly, and they smiled at each other.
When Yao Jia relaxed, she felt a sharp pain in her chest.
Only then did she realize that she had been out for too long and her breasts were starting to swell, so she said goodbye to Xiao Fengyi and left the palace.
Xiao Fengyi stood up with a smile and went out to see her off.
Given their current status, there was no need to be too particular about the etiquette between the ruler and his subjects, so Yao Jia did not refuse.
His steps were just a little hurried. One hand gently stroked his chest, trying to ease the sudden discomfort, while the other hand tightly grasped the heavy imperial edict.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the corner of the west door, he bumped into someone head-on.
She gasped in pain in her chest and unconsciously covered her chest with her hands, frowning.
The pain made her almost unable to stand.
The other party was obviously caught off guard by the collision. He quickly took a few steps back, steadied himself, and knelt down to apologize.
"Master Imperial Master, I deserve to die. I deserve to die..."
The voice is extremely childish.
Yao Jia looked up and realized that it was a young eunuch of about eleven or twelve years old.
Sihe immediately grabbed the man and asked the guards to take him away for punishment.
Yao Jia knew that the little eunuch would either die or be disabled if he walked away, so she hurriedly tried to stop him, saying that the responsibility was hers because she walked too fast and didn't look at the road, and asked Xiao Fengyi not to bother with the child.
Xiao Fengyi had no choice but to wave his hand. Seeing Yao Jia holding her chest with a look of pain on her face, he quickly stepped forward and gently supported her.
"What's going on? Is he injured somewhere? Call the imperial physician, call the imperial physician immediately."
An ordinary doctor would definitely not be able to do it, Yao Jia said in a low voice with a blushing face.
"Your Majesty, I, I have swollen breasts. I need to call a female doctor."
"Swelling...breasts?"
Xiao Fengyi was stunned.
The distance from here to the Imperial Hospital was not far, so Xiao Fengyi simply picked her up and carried her sideways, ignoring the astonished looks of the palace servants around him, and strode towards the Imperial Hospital.
Yao Jia wanted to struggle, but as soon as she moved, her chest hurt so much that she could only let him hold her.
The door of the Imperial Hospital was suddenly pushed open. The female doctors who were preparing medicine looked up, and when they saw this scene, they all looked at each other in surprise, and then hurriedly saluted.
Xiao Fengyi did not stop and walked straight towards the female doctor Liu who was good at treating women's diseases.
"Quick, show it to the Imperial Master. She is suffering from breast engorgement."
There was a hint of urgency in Xiao Fengyi's voice, and he completely disregarded his identity as emperor.
Female doctor Liu did not dare to delay and quickly took Xiao Fengyi to the treatment room nearby.
Yao Jia was lying on the bed, feeling extremely embarrassed. She never expected that she would embarrass herself every time she came to the palace.
Last time it hit my stomach, this time it hit my chest.
She secretly glanced at Xiao Fengyi, only to see him standing aside, his brows furrowed, his eyes full of worry, as if she was more important than the entire state affairs of Daxia at this moment.
"Your Majesty, please avoid suspicion." Female Doctor Liu reminded.
Although Imperial Master Nangong was a court official, she was not a concubine. It was really inappropriate for the emperor to stay here.
Xiao Fengyi also reacted and turned to leave, saying that he had some memorials to deal with, but then he stopped, turned back and looked at Yao Jia deeply.
There was both reluctance and helplessness in his eyes, and finally he said in a low voice: "Take good care of her."
As soon as he left, Dr. Liu began to carefully treat Yao Jia's breast engorgement problem, massaging and clearing the blockage with skillful techniques while comforting her softly.
"Master Imperial Master, this is a normal phenomenon after childbirth. You don't need to worry too much. However, you still need to pay attention to rest and avoid strenuous exercise."
Yao Jia nodded in response.
As if she was afraid that she would be nervous, Doctor Liu also asked many trivial questions about Xingxing.
When Yao Jia started talking about stars, he talked endlessly like a flood.
Dr. Liu also listened patiently and gave some parenting advice from time to time, and the atmosphere gradually became warm and relaxed.
At this moment, suddenly, a woman's crying sound was heard outside the clinic.
"Even if you are a queen, you can't bully others like this. It's clearly a slippery pulse, but you refused to admit it. Not only did you slap me, you also said that my medical skills are not good enough."
Female doctor Liu paused for a moment, then returned to normal.
Yao Jia blinked. Qi Shu is pregnant?
A few chuckles came from outside, "Doctor Fan, stop crying. Maybe it's just that your medical skills are not good enough. I can't say for sure."
"That's right. The queen is pregnant. It's a great joyous event for herself and the country. Why don't you admit it? You should improve your medical skills."
"Who said that? No matter how useless I am, I can still tell the difference between a smooth pulse and a normal pulse! That is a happy pulse, a happy pulse."
The voice of Dr. Fan was filled with a hint of stubbornness and grievance, and it was obvious that she had great confidence in her medical skills.
"shut up!"
Female doctor Liu shouted at the door, then smiled apologetically at Yao Jia, "Master Imperial Master, I'm sorry for letting you hear all this noise. I will handle it as soon as possible."
Yao Jia shook her head slightly, indicating that she didn't mind, but ripples appeared in her heart.
Since she gave birth to Xingxing, the Nangong family has launched many counterattacks against the Qi family. Several of Qi Tai Shi's favorite students have been sent out, and his daughter-in-law Xu was also dismissed from her post for taking bribes in her early years.
If Qi Shu is pregnant, it will be a good opportunity for the Qi family to turn the situation around.
The medical skills of the doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau were naturally excellent, and there was no possibility of them taking the wrong pulse.
There are no other concubines in the harem, so there is no need to worry about anyone harming her.
An He also said that the Queen Mother was anxious to have a grandchild.
If something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.
He quickly packed his clothes and walked out of the clinic.
At this time, a team of guards armed with swords broke into the Imperial Hospital, each with a fierce look in their eyes.
"Where is Dr. Fan?"
Although they were asking, their eyes were searching everywhere. When they saw Dr. Fan with a red and swollen face, they immediately stepped forward and surrounded her.
"Catch her!" the leading guard shouted.
Female doctor Liu stepped forward to negotiate, "I wonder why you are here to arrest female doctor Fan?"
The leading guard said, "This bitch stole the Queen's phoenix hairpin while she was examining her pulse. The Queen has ordered that she be captured and beaten to death with sticks!" His tone was full of majesty and unquestionable.
Doctor Fan's face turned pale instantly. She wanted to argue a few more words, but the guards covered her mouth roughly and lifted her up, preparing to drag her away.
Yao Jia frowned slightly, this was obviously a case of finding a pretext to accuse someone.
"Wait a minute."
Yao Jia spoke out to stop them and slowly walked towards the group of guards, "She is a medical officer. Even if she is wrong, she should be interrogated by the Ministry of Justice or the Dali Temple instead of being punished privately?
The Queen's body is precious. If someone dares to steal it, they should find out the truth instead of jumping to conclusions."
