Chapter 2416: Confused

She thought for a moment and said, "Send someone to the Imperial Hospital to see if Xue Yun has left."

Nian Qiu said, "Yes."

After saying that, she turned and walked out.

Nan Yan was left alone in the bedroom, looking at her daughter lying quietly on the bed. Her mood was even gloomier than the sky outside.

In order to prevent herself from falling into too gloomy a mood, she reached out and gently stroked Xinping's face.

With the careful care these days, she hasn't lost much weight.

The cheeks are still as chubby as before.

Her daughter is the one who can soften her heart the most, but at the same time, for her daughter's sake, she will use drastic measures to make the person who plotted to murder her die a miserable death!

After a meal, Nianqiu came back.

"My Lady."

"How is it?" Nan Yan turned to look at her and asked anxiously, "Is she gone?"

Nian Qiu shook her head and said, "I asked her, and she has been reporting to the Imperial Hospital every day these days. She hasn't left."

“…”

Upon hearing this, Nan Yan frowned.

She said all the nice things to Xue Yun and explained the pros and cons to her, but she didn't expect that she would still insist on her own way and refuse to leave.

She let out a deep breath and asked, "Is she also in the Imperial Hospital now?"

Nian Qiu shook his head: "Not here now."

"Isn't she on duty today?"

"Not really,"

Nian Qiu said, "When I went to ask, several doctors from the Imperial Hospital mentioned her."

"What did you say about her?"

"They say she's been acting a bit strange lately. Although she reports to the Imperial Hospital every day, she doesn't do anything afterward. Normally, the young palace maids and eunuchs like to come to her when they have a headache or a fever, and she's always happy to go, but these past two days, she won't go no matter who asks her."

“…”

"In a word, I am completely captivated."

“…”

"Today, she was supposed to be on duty, but she left early, so someone else took her place."

Nan Yan raised her eyebrows slightly.

It seems that my words did have some effect on her. She must have been worried and hesitant all the time.

But, the decision has not been made yet.

At this time, Nian Qiu said unhappily: "Your Majesty is too polite to her. The harem is under the control of Your Majesty. Isn't it easy to let her go?"

Nan Yan glanced at her.

She said, "I am not in charge of the harem. Even if I were, I still cannot control her. She is the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital, a proper official. She is not under my control."

“…”

"I just hope she can be more sensible."

Having said this, she let out a deep breath and said, "Well, just give her two more days."

“…”

"I just hope she can figure it out sooner."

Nian Qiu didn't say much.

What Nian Qiu didn't know was that not long after she left the Imperial Hospital, Xiao Shunzi was also ordered to go to the Imperial Hospital. After entering, he looked around.

Doctor Li, who was on duty, immediately stepped forward and asked, "Eunuch Shun, what are your instructions?"

Xiao Shunzi asked, "Where is Doctor Xue?"

Doctor Li said, "He's not here."

"Not here again?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shunzi also frowned. In the past two days, it was not the first time that he was ordered to come and call Doctor Xue. However, every time he came, he either went home because he was not feeling well, or it was not his turn to be on duty, making it difficult for him to report back.

However, strangely enough, the emperor did not get angry.

I just don't know why the emperor often calls her over when he hasn't been ill recently.

Doctor Li saw Xiao Shunzi frowning and asked carefully, "Eunuch Shun, is there something wrong with the Emperor?"

"No, I just came to take a look."

"Hey, Doctor Xue has been acting a bit strange lately. He comes every morning to sign in and leaves immediately. When he does stay, he looks distraught. I wonder what he's thinking."

Xiao Shunzi hummed softly.

Then he said, "Well, please tell Doctor Li to tell Doctor Xue to wait in the Imperial Study when he comes to report tomorrow morning."

“…”

"This is the third time the emperor has come to see him."

“…”

"If she doesn't go over, it would be disobeying the emperor's order."

Doctor Li bowed and said, "Of course, of course."

Only then did Xiao Shunzi turn around and leave.

Imperial Physician Li watched him leave, then shook his head, slowly turned around and walked back to his desk, muttering, "Things in this world are really strange. Before, it was Concubine Kang who was always looking for him, but now that Concubine Kang is gone, the Imperial Concubine and the Emperor have been looking for him one by one, but they still can't find him. Why is this person so strange?"

After a night, early the next morning, several imperial doctors arrived at the Imperial Hospital one after another.

Doctor Li, who was on duty at night, could have gone back early, but he stayed and sat in front of his crime scene, looking at the door.

Until I saw a thin figure walking in.

He immediately stepped forward and said, "Doctor Xue, you are finally here."

"ah?"

Xue Yun raised his head when he heard this.

Doctor Li frowned as he took one look at his face and asked, "What's wrong with you all day? Your eyes are so red? Have you been staying up late again?"

Xue Yun forced a smile and said, "No, no."

Imperial Physician Li shook his head. Perhaps he had forgotten that everyone here was an imperial physician, and they could see everything through observation, auscultation, and palpation. Since he didn't say anything, they didn't ask any more questions. They simply said, "Last night, the Imperial Concubine sent someone to look for you."

"ah……?"

When Xue Yun heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

Doctor Li continued, "It's nothing serious, just asking if you're here. But then, Eunuch Shun, who's with the Emperor, came looking for you. The Emperor wanted to summon you."

“…”

"You are not here, and I have left a message for you to go to the imperial study and wait for me today."

“…”

Upon hearing this, Xue Yun bit his lower lip and remained silent.

However, there were several hanging needle lines between the eyebrows.

Ever since Kang Biyun's incident, the imperial concubine asked her to leave the palace. She had hardly had a good day these days, and she even dared not to see Zhu Feng.

But she didn't expect that Zhu Feng had already sent someone to wake her up.

She was silent for a moment, then said softly, "I understand. Thank you."

Doctor Li looked at his still dazed eyes, shook his head gently, and urged: "Hurry up and go and wait. Don't let the emperor wait for you. That would be a sin."

After saying that, he left.

Xue Yun had no choice but to carry his medicine box and go to the imperial study.

However, at this time, Zhu Feng was not in the imperial study, but had gone to the morning court. If there was nothing important in the morning court, there would be no need for the cabinet to discuss it, and he could come over after the morning court.

Xue Yun was welcomed in by Xiao Shunzi, but he didn't dare to sit down.

Carrying only the medicine box, he stood obediently in the middle of the empty and somewhat cold imperial study.

be terribly upset.

After a while, heavy and familiar footsteps were heard outside, approaching the imperial study.

The closer the footsteps got, the faster her heart beat.
