Chapter 853, Ximai

Yin Ji was too busy to deal with the Xiao family and hurriedly returned to Qianyuan Palace. The palace was well-lit and packed with doctors. It was evident that Cai Tianxi knew the importance of Xie Yun, as he had called all the on-duty doctors to attend.
Xie Yun half leaned on the soft couch, with a pale complexion in the candlelight. Yin Ji's heart twisted at the sight, but he did not dare to speak, fearing to disturb Liao Fu's pulse diagnosis, unable to discern the problem.
The waiting process was a bit long, but it was only a few breaths. However, his palms were already sweating coldly. When Liao Fu Shang stepped back, he hurriedly rushed over and grabbed Xie Yun's hand: "Yun, what's wrong with you? Did I anger you with my words earlier?"
Xie Yun felt a little uncomfortable, but she couldn't help but laugh when she heard that sentence. Although she was annoyed by Yin Ji's mischief, she knew that he didn't mean to tease her on purpose. How could she get so angry and even faint just because of such a trivial matter?
"You, uh..."
She subconsciously wanted to poke his forehead, but in front of so many doctors, she struggled to stop herself: "I just forgot to take the medicine Tang gave me. What does it have to do with you? Don't always blame yourself."
Yin Ji held her hand, full of regret. Although Xie Yun could not do without the medicine given by Tang Ting, she had never forgotten to take it like today.
"I won't mess around anymore in the future."
"I've already said it has nothing to do with you."
Xie Yun's tone was helpless, and Yin Ji responded gloomily. He held her hand and rubbed it for a while before calming down. He turned his head and looked at Liao Fushang, with a deep look in his eyes, as if he was prepared to receive bad news. He said, 'Tell me, what is the situation with Yun's body?'
Liao Fushang bowed respectfully and then glanced at the several imperial physicians beside him: "Reporting to the Emperor, after discussing among ourselves, we all believe that Miss Xie..."
Yin Ji's heart involuntarily tightened, and he stared at the imperial physician with his gaze sending chills down the latter's spine.
Liao Fushang was viewed with mixed emotions and couldn't help but laugh and cry. He had a good news to share: "Your Majesty, Miss Xie's pulse indicates good fortune."
Yin Ji felt relieved in his heart: "Good fortune isn't a serious illness, right? Can it be easily treated?"
Liao Fusui was stunned and stared blankly at Yin Ji. He was just about to explain clearly. Yin Ji suddenly stiffened and then widened his eyes: "What did you say? Happiness Meridian?!"
He looked up at the imperial physician and then turned to look at Xie Yun. His Adam's apple rolled visibly as he said, "Ah Yun, is this 'xi mai' the same as the one I had in mind?"
Xie Yun was also surprised that ever since she was taken away by Tang Ting for treatment, her health has been poor. She even thought she would never have children.
There was some surprise in her heart, as it was clear that Yin Ji was even more excited than her. She had to suppress her emotions and comfort him: "It should be, otherwise, you can ask the physician?"
Yin Ji turned his head, eagerly looking at the imperial physician.
Liao Fu, who was injured, quickly bowed: "Congratulations, Your Majesty."
The crowd followed suit and bowed their heads, and for a moment, the congratulatory voices filled the Qianyuan Palace. Yin Ji's uneasy heart suddenly fell to the ground, but then his heart felt as if it had been dropped into warm water and slowly soaked, until everything dissolved and became soft.
Xie Yun, my child...
He grabbed Xie Yun's hand and buried his face in it. After a while, a drop of scalding tear fell into Xie Yun's palm.
Xie Yun's eyes trembled and she glanced at Cai Tianxi. Cai Tianxi had also realized that he was being disruptive, and quickly led the others out. Soon, only two people were left in the Qianyuan Palace.
Xie Yun finally lowered her head and gently kissed Yin Ji on the top of his head. "Ji Lang, we are going to have a child."
Yin Ji's body trembled, and he held her hand even tighter, but he refused to lift his head. Xie Yun chuckled and held his cheeks, saying, "Let me see what the brave and strong man looks like when he cries."
Yin Ji didn't expect that she would choose this moment to mock him, turned her head away and refused to look at her. Xie Yun poked his cheek and said, "Not letting me see? If you don't let me see, I won't look again in the future."
The man's body stiffened for a moment, then he turned his head and looked at her, but he quickly turned over and lifted her into his arms, saying, "Even if you don't want to look, I still want to see who else can I look at?"
He muttered, his heart pounding rapidly, but Xie Yun still felt clear even through the winter clothes. However, she didn't say much, just quietly nestled in his arms, waiting for him to calm down on his own.
The night gradually darkened, and Yin Ji's heartbeat finally slowed down, his hand also emerged from the blanket, gently falling on Xie Yun's waist that had not yet shown any trace, but his eyes were no longer pure joy and anticipation, instead tinged with worry.
"Take Tangting over here, Ayun, I'm a little scared..."
He buried his cheek against Xie Yun's neck, his voice trembling, "I really want this child, but the premise is that it can't threaten you."
They shared the same bed every day, how could he not know the condition of Xie Yun's body?
When the Xie family fell from power, she was imprisoned for a long time and her body was mistreated, but later he brought her into the palace and her life improved a lot, yet he never dared to let her get pregnant.
Recently he had that idea, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.
"Let her come and see for herself. If it doesn't work out, don't force it. We will be fine without children."
Xie Yun grabbed his trembling hand, the feeling of pity almost overflowing in her heart: "Okay, let's hear what Tang Ting has to say... Don't worry, I've also studied medicine for a few years, it'll be fine."
Yin Ji remained silent and held onto her tighter. No matter what, he would be happy if this child could come. Even if he didn't have the chance to meet it in person, he would still love it.
Xie Yun fell into a deep sleep again, perhaps because of her weak body. It had only been a month, but she already showed signs of exhaustion in her eyes. Yin Ji couldn't bear to see her like this and gently carried her onto the dragon bed before turning around and leaving.
Although it took a month for the emperor to return to the court, if he had used fast horses, the round trip could have been done in just seven days. If it were the Tang dynasty, the speed might be even faster. When she arrives, we will know if we can keep this child.
Xue Jing had been waiting outside all along. When Yin Ji returned to the palace earlier, he followed behind. Just now, he also heard the commotion inside. Seeing someone coming out now, he hurriedly wanted to offer his congratulations. But in the next moment, he saw the worry on his face, and he couldn't help but pause: "Your Majesty, is there something wrong? Your aunt..."
Yin Ji shook his head and said, "Send the decree, do not spread the news about her pregnancy. secretly go to the Qi Men Pass and inform Tang Ting about this matter. Do not disclose the information to the elders."
Xue Jing is a person with a clever mind. Just by listening, one can sense that there might be some unexpected changes with this child. Hastily, I solemnly responded, about to pass on the message, but then I thought of the Xiao family members in prison, hesitatingly asking a question.
They still need to be killed, but …
"Let the child live."
Consider it as accumulating blessings for his child.
