His Rui

Chapter 780: Yi Huiqing Is Happy

Zhao Zhang Wei's face was cold after hearing what Imperial Physician Sun said. He blamed himself for not taking care of her in these past few days.          

    

"Her Majesty's body is too weak. It would not work like this."     

He ignored what the old Momo just said. He was aware that she had a high status in the Imperial Clan and had been training the Empresses since his grandfather's times. He didn't want to argue with her.      

However, he noticed that Yi Huiqing was wearing such a heavy dress.      

Looking at her personal maidservant, he asked coldly.      

"When did Empress wake up?"     

"As soon as Your Majesty left, Her Majesty also left the bed."     

Lin Daiyu answered truthfully. She was no less scared and panicked seeing her unconscious mistress. She actually wanted to tell Zhao Zhang Wei more but she didn't know if that would be helping her mistress or put her more into trouble.      

Zhao Zhang Wei frowned deeply. On the other hand, the old Momo and the other Momos who were standing a few steps away frowned on hearing the maidservant's words.      

However, they were not frowning because of the worry regarding Empress' health, instead, it was the displeasure expressed by them.      

The Empress left the bed after the Emperor left the chambers! That was so presumptuous.      

The old Momo's face was strict as she looked at the unconscious Yi Huiqing while Lin Daiyu also realized slowly that she seemed to have said something wrong. Looking at the old Momo's face, she realized that she had created more trouble for her mistress and looked at Zhao Zhang Wei hoping that he would ask more and she would be able to make the situation favorable for her mistress.      

And fortunately, he did.      

When it was regarding his Qingqing, Zhao Zhang Wei was not going to let the matter go just like this.      

"Why did she wake up so early? Did Zhen not order you to let her sleep for some more time?"      

Lin Daiyu shivered apparently hearing the Emperor's cold voice but answered truthfully.      

"That…Your Majesty…Her Majesty needed to wake up for the training."     

The words seemed to confuse Zhao Zhang Wei and he uttered in confusion.      

"What kind of training…"     

However, it took him only a moment as he realized what these old Momos were exactly doing here.      

It never occurred to him that Yi Huiqing was now his Empress so she would also be trained by these old Momos.      

However, remembering what he had heard about all this training, Zhao Zhang Wei's face was colder. He looked at the old Momos and ordered      

"All of you are dismissed."     

The old Momo seemed to see that the Emperor's mood was not good so they didn't make a fuss and left silently with other Momos.      

Imperial Physician Sun had been hearing everything silently and his eyes looking at the unconscious Empress were filled with pain.      

She looked thinner than he had seen her before.          

    

However, he knew that his stay here could displease the Emperor, and hence it could also make Yi Huiqing suffer so he also took his leave.      

Zhao Zhang Wei seemed to have forgotten his presence until now. When the young physician asked his permission to leave, he waved his hand to dismiss him.      

After everyone had left, he looked at Yi Huiqing. One of his hands caressed her cheek gently. She didn't even move slightly because of his touch. How exhausted she must be to sleep so deeply.      

"How do they train her?"     

He asked the maidservant who was the only person left inside the chambers except him and Yi Huiqing.      

Lin Daiyu wanted to cry when she heard the Emperor's question.      

Her voice was slightly choked as she told the Emperor everything.      

By the time she finished, she was crying and Zhao Zhang Wei's face was almost black.      

His other hand with which he was not caressing Yi Huiqing's cheek was clenched tightly.      

"You can leave."     

Lin Daiyu left after this.      

Looking at the unconscious woman on the bed, Zhao Zhang Wei felt very helpless. The self-blame increased.      

He claimed to care for her, and love her but he didn't even know that behind his back she was being bullied like this.      

And she never even complained in front of him. He was sure that she was not so stupid to not be able to see that those old Momos were intentionally bullying her.      

But she never told him and suffered silently.      

Perhaps she doesn't even find him that much worthy. But remembering the past where she knew that he had hidden such a big truth from her, she had still remained silent and suffered silently.      

Zhao Zhang Wei exhaled a trembling sigh. He leaned down as he kissed her forehead gently and then put his forehead on hers.      

"It would be the last time, Qingqing. I promise you. After this…if someone dared to bully you they would have to cross me first."      

-------     

When Yi Huiqing woke up, it was evening.      

She was confused for a few moments before she heard the sound of pages being turned and looked toward the sound. Looking at the man who was sitting on the bed with his head leaning against the headrest, she was startled for some time.      

Feeling a constant gaze, Zhao Zhang Wei looked toward her and immediately put aside the documents in his hands.      

He shouted for Lin Daiyu to prepare some food and then looked at Yi Huiqing      

"Qingqing…how do you feel now?"     

Yi Huiqing nodded her head softly indicating that she was good. She was trying to remember what she was doing here.          

    

It seemed that she lost consciousness when the old Momo was teaching her how to kneel.      

Remembering the old Momo's ways of teaching her, Yi Huiqing's heart was bitter but her face looked calm.      

Her mind again wavered to where it had been wavering in the past few days.      

Her brother and other close members on the border…     

Looking at the lost expression on her face, Zhao Zhang Wei helped her to get up and sit on the bed. Being helped by him, Yi Huiqing felt uncomfortable and wanted to move away but Zhao Zhang Wei suddenly clasped her waist and said      

"The war ended, Qingqing. We won."     

For a moment, Yi Huiqing thought that perhaps she was still sleeping. But looking at Zhao Zhang Wei's deep and firm eyes, she wanted to believe him.      

"You don't need to worry anymore. Everyone is safe."     

When she was unconscious, he had talked to the soldier and had asked him about her younger brother and other Li Family members.      

Everyone was safe. In fact, he was deeply moved by their bravery from whatever the soldier told him.      

When he came out of his thoughts, Zhao Zhang Wei saw that she was still so silent. He felt worried and moved closer to her.      

"Qingqing…what are you thinking? Say something. Are you still feeling unwell?"     

Yi Huiqing swallowed the emotions clogging her throat. She didn't know why but she felt very emotional.      

Everyone was safe.      

A huge burden from her heart seemed to be lifted away suddenly.      

"Thank you."     

She whispered to Zhao Zhang Wei who had told her this precious news. There might be misunderstandings between them. They might not be suitiable partners in this marriage. However, he had been there for her last night.      

He also told her about this.      

She was grateful.      

Zhao Zhang Wei raised his eyebrow at the thanks and shook his head.     

"You don't need to thank me."     

Yi Huiqibg didn't say anything. She was very happy that everything was finally alright. Zhao Zhang Wei could feel it.      

He also felt happy. The anger from before disappeared and when Lin Daiyu informed that the meal was served, he asked Yi Huiqing to have something hurriedly.      

She didn't have anything since the morning and in the past few days she had not been eating nicely.      

Zhao Zhang Wei looked at her body and felt that she was too thin.          

    

"You should eat more."     

He said seriously.      

Yi Huiqing thought that his words were all of a sudden but nonetheless, she nodded her head in acknowledgment and said      

"Yes, Your Majesty."     

Satisfied, Zhao Zhang Wei served her more at the dining table and Yi Huiqing didn't complain as she was feeling hungry.      

For once, she wanted to forget everything. Yi Huiqing thought that if she wanted to live in this place and stay happy, she would have to learn that.      

Having the past cling on to her forever would only make her life more painful.      

Zhao Zhang Wei also felt that she was less rigid today. He couldn't help but feel encouraged and talk to her more.      

He told her about whatever the soldier had told her. About how bravely Yi Lei fought with the enemies.      

However, this time it was not Yi Lei who had shown his bravery but someone else as well.      

Yi Huiqing was surprised when she heard the name but then she thought that it was not something to be surprised upon.      

When Zhao Zhang Wei told her that he would especially honor these two people, her eyes couldn't help but fill with joy.      

Her brother would be rewarded by the Emperor.      

What more could she as a sister want!     

On the other hand, Zhao Zhang Wei's eyes were gentle as he looked at her bright eyes. If only he had known that it was so easy to make her happy he would not have committed so many stupid acts.     

He could honour Yi Lei everyday if that would make her so happy.
