Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 295 Vomiting

Liu Yuechu hesitated for a moment, and Emperor Qi Xiao's gaze gradually turned cold.

In that instant, she realized she couldn't lie, or she might lose her life.

She told Meng Changhuai all his complaints without holding back.

"...As I said, he deserved it, so the people below beat him up badly. Actually, I'm not very satisfied either."

"Everyone in this world has grievances and complaints, or has been deceived and framed. Does that mean we should stop hurting innocent people just because we lack the ability to fight back?"

"Only a weak and shameless person would do such a shameless thing and then smugly call himself a doctor who saves the world and the people. He has utterly insulted the word."

"So it's understandable that Changchuntang closed down; their medical ethics were questionable."

……

She spoke fluently and without reservation, but she tended to berate Meng Changhuai and did not mention much about the matter of the Princess Chun.

Emperor Qi Xiao grew increasingly displeased. "You're making yourself out to be so innocent, yet you think you're in the right after disrupting someone else's pharmacy?"

"Isn't that right? He had malicious intentions when he approached me. He's no good. If we don't teach him a lesson and make him suffer, even the child in my womb won't agree," Liu Yuechu said sweetly.

Emperor Qi Xiao looked at her for a moment without saying a word. Liu Yuechu blinked her big eyes, looking completely innocent.

“Some things are not as sordid and despicable as outsiders think. The hardest thing in life is to do something as you please, and I am no exception.” He suddenly blurted out this sentence.

Liu Yuechu dared not say anything more. How could she bear an emperor lowering his pride to complain about things not going her way in front of her?

Emperor Qi Xiao knew he would not receive an answer.

He had expected that when Liu Yuechu revealed the truth, he would be filled with anger, resentment, and shame, and would even fly into a rage at the mere mention of her words.

But after hearing her explanation, it didn't seem so hard to accept...

"I heard you were raising money all the time? What are you planning to do with that money?" He suddenly asked, changing the subject.

Liu Yuechu gasped in shock. Was this turning around too fast?

"I have indeed been feeling unwell lately, and I find it difficult to manage my business. I understand Your Majesty's teachings, so I would like to reduce unnecessary business activities to avoid distracting myself too much." She wasn't sure if this reason would be enough to get by.

Emperor Qi Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly. "I see you're in high spirits, meddling in a lot of other people's business, and you don't seem to be in poor health."

Liu Yuechu: "That was out of necessity."

"So where did this money go?" Emperor Qi Xiao asked the most crucial question.

Liu Yuechu: "..."

They've all been sent to your son, but he won't let anyone tell.

"Why do you have a headache?"

"My chest feels so tight!"

She suddenly ran away, covered her mouth, and then vomited repeatedly.

The eunuchs and maids waiting in the distance were startled and rushed over.

Emperor Qi Xiao was seeing a pregnant woman vomiting for the first time; after all, no other woman had ever so brazenly displayed her distress and embarrassment in front of him.

"What's going on? Why is she still vomiting?" Emperor Qi Xiao stood at a distance, waiting for Liu Yuechu to finish cleaning up before coming over to talk.

The Empress also heard the news and quickly came over to speak with Emperor Qi Xiao, "This is hard to say. Sometimes when the pain comes, it's impossible to stop... When I was pregnant with the Crown Prince, it was the same. I just never dared to tell Your Majesty, for fear of worrying you." She took the opportunity to express her grievances.

Emperor Qi Xiao cleared his throat twice, he really didn't want to watch any longer, "I'll go wait over there for a while, and she can come to see me after she's ready."

"Yes, Your Majesty," the Empress curtsied in response.

But before Emperor Qi Xiao could even take a step away, he heard Granny Fang exclaim in alarm, "Master! Master, wake up!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Empress, Consort Liu has fainted!" the maids exclaimed in alarm.

The Empress was so frightened that she hurried over. Liu Yuechu had indeed fainted. Her face was flushed, there was a layer of fine sweat on her forehead, her lips were dry and white, and her brows were furrowed, clearly indicating that she was very uncomfortable.

"Quickly, summon the imperial physician and carry Consort Liu to the side hall!"

"It's the hottest part of the day right now, so please be careful not to catch heatstroke!"

The Empress gave the order immediately, and the maids and eunuchs busied themselves with preparations.

Liu Yuechu was carried to a side hall to wait for the imperial physician. Emperor Qi Xiao stood there, wondering if he would be able to get any information from him today.

Seeing that Emperor Qi Xiao had not left, the Empress said, "Your Majesty, why don't you go ahead and attend to your business? I will stay here. Consort Liu will be fine, and the child will definitely be safe."

Emperor Qi Xiao's expression hardened, and he looked at the Empress thoughtfully. "The Empress values ​​her quite a bit."

The Empress felt a chill run down her spine; she had almost revealed that she knew about the relationship between Emperor Qi Xiao and Yuan Cuo.

"Of course I will take it seriously. After all, Yuan Cuo is away serving Your Majesty, so it is only right that I take care of his family."

"Moreover, although Consort Liu is not from a noble family or official residence, she has repeatedly helped His Majesty out of his urgent needs. I cherish her talent and feel sorry for this girl." The Empress boasted of her kind heart.

Emperor Qi Xiao was skeptical, but he didn't press the matter further. "I'll head back now. Once she's awake, I'll send her back to rest." He wasn't in the mood to ask about the money; he'd deal with it another time.

After Emperor Qi Xiao left, the Empress did not return to the side hall. Instead, she instructed her maid to keep an eye on things and report back when Liu Yuechu woke up.

Liu Yuechu slept for an hour before waking up.

The imperial physician's eyes practically turned green with astonishment!

She didn't faint; she was clearly just asleep from exhaustion...

However, this Lady Liu was not someone to be trifled with, and she also had a close relationship with Physician Sun. Therefore, the imperial physician would not reveal the truth, and could only hope that Liu Yuechu would stop snoring.

Liu Yuechu stretched and listened to the imperial physician's rambling. She reported her safety to the Empress and was moved to tears. Then she returned to the mansion with Granny Fang and Xia Zhi Gu Yu.

"It was really timely for me to fall asleep." Liu Yuechu was indeed shocked by Emperor Qi Xiao's question.

She did indeed donate a considerable amount of silver, and she even used it to save her life. But the Liu family's assets are not something His Majesty can simply pick at will!

Granny Fang had already told Xia Zhi and Gu Yu to go and rest. "You really were quite frightening. You fell asleep the moment your eyes rolled back. Luckily, the imperial physician who came was one of Physician Sun's men, otherwise it would have been too embarrassing to say that you were asleep!"

"What's embarrassing about that? I didn't throw up on purpose, I just couldn't help it." Liu Yuechu said helplessly. She didn't expect the little darling in her belly to turn on her like that. His temper really is just like Emperor Qi Xiao!

"What about the money? If His Majesty finds out you have money, he might ask you to donate some to let us know you're safe..." said Granny Fang.

Liu Yuechu clicked her tongue a few times, thankful that she still had time to fabricate a false account of the money to appease Emperor Qi Xiao.

"I still need to find out what disasters have recently occurred in the court. I need to know the situation and be prepared financially."

"Don't you find it strange? His Majesty hasn't mentioned the Huang family at all!" Granny Fang suddenly asked.
