Chapter 45 A Familiar Taste

Yin Qingyi nodded and said nothing more. She had just woken up and heard the two of them arguing for a long time, which left her somewhat confused.

"You don't need to worry. This person must have some real skills, otherwise he wouldn't dare to ask me to help him." Seeing that Yin Qingyi was silent, Yinzhen thought that she was worried about him and the child in her womb, so he softened his voice to comfort her.

"Yes, with you here, Your Highness, I'm not afraid." Yin Qingyi leaned against Yinzhen's chest, without explaining that she wasn't worried about herself, but rather about that Imperial Physician Li.

Yinzhen stayed there until dinner time, and Su Peisheng even brought back the medicine.

"Go and brew the medicine first. You can have dinner first, Master. I don't have an appetite. If I eat dinner, I probably won't be able to drink the medicine," Yin Qingyi said, glancing at Qiuju.

"Yes, go and make it." Yinzhen thought about it and agreed.

"This medicine only needs to be decocted for fifteen minutes; just add a bowl of water while decocting," Su Peisheng repeated Physician Li's words. He couldn't contain his curiosity. This medicine only needed fifteen minutes? This wasn't decocting medicine; it was boiling water!

"Fifteen minutes? One bowl of water? Are you sure?" Qiu Ju was a little confused after hearing Su Peisheng's words while taking the medicine. Shouldn't this normally take a long time to brew? Shouldn't it require three bowls of water to be boiled down to one bowl? Are you sure this fifteen minutes isn't just for boiling water?

"That's what Physician Li said," Su Peisheng said with a blank face. He had asked the same question before, but Physician Li had just chuckled and said to just boil it as he instructed.

"Do as Physician Li says," Yinzhen said in a deep voice. Even if he had doubts, he had no other choice at the moment. The only thing he was sure of was that Physician Li wouldn't dare to lie to him, otherwise he would definitely make him wish he were dead!

"Yes." Qiu Ju bowed and withdrew. Since her masters had spoken, she would do as they said.

"Your Highness, please eat quickly, there's no need to wait for me," Yin Qingyi urged, seeing that Yinzhen hadn't touched his chopsticks.

"I'll eat after you drink your medicine. It won't be long anyway." Yinzhen shook his head. Looking at Yin Qingyi like this, how could he possibly eat?

Seeing this, Su Peisheng wisely placed the food on the stove to keep it warm. Although it wouldn't be long, it would cool down quickly even indoors in this freezing weather.

"Your Majesty, why are you so good to me?" Yin Qingyi leaned into Yinzhen's arms, her voice slightly nasal.

"You got pregnant and gave birth to my child, if I don't treat you well, who will I treat well?" Yinzhen hugged Yin Qingyi and said softly.

"..." Yin Qingyi didn't speak, but simply wrapped her arms around Yinzhen's lean waist. Actually, she was complaining in her heart. So many people had borne children for Yinzhen; if he had to do this for every single one of them, wouldn't he be exhausted? Indeed, you can't trust a man's words.

"Princess, the medicine is ready." Fifteen minutes later, Qiuju returned with the medicine.

"Give it to me." Yin Qingyi frowned. Just thinking about drinking this bitter and strange-tasting Chinese medicine made her stomach churn. She forced herself to accept the medicine.

As soon as she received the medicine, a faint scent wafted into Yin Qingyi's nose. It wasn't the strange smell she remembered; instead, it was a delicate fragrance, a scent so familiar that it made Yin Qingyi tremble.

"Yin! What's wrong with you?" Yinzhen looked at Yin Qingyi, who was trembling all over, and became anxious.

Yin Qingyi did not answer, but stared at the medicine in her hand, lost in memories.

"Yin! Qingqing! Someone, go and fetch the imperial physician. Su Peisheng, go to the palace and have that Imperial Physician Li tied up!" Yinzhen looked at Yin Qingyi, who was ignoring him, and his eyes turned red with anxiety.

“Master, it might not be appropriate to go to the palace to kidnap Physician Li right now,” Su Peisheng said, forcing himself to speak when he saw his master’s somewhat frantic state.

"Go when I tell you to, and I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong!" Yinzhen said sternly to Su Peisheng.

"Master..." Su Peisheng wanted to say something more.

"Get out! If you don't go, someone else will." Yinzhen shouted at Su Peisheng while holding Yin Qingyi.

The others were already terrified, having never seen Yinzhen like this before, and they all knelt on the ground, not daring to say a word.

What could Su Peisheng do? His master was getting anxious and frustrated. He sighed and turned to leave.

"Your Majesty, don't go. I'm fine. I was just thinking about some things. It has nothing to do with this medicine. I find the smell of this medicine very pleasant. This Physician Li is quite capable." Yin Qingyi was awakened by Yinzhen's loud shout and quickly stopped Su Peisheng, who was about to leave.

"Are you serious? You're really alright? Then why were you trembling? I called you but you didn't answer." Seeing Yin Qingyi regain her senses, Yinzhen immediately turned her around to face him, seemingly wanting to ascertain the truthfulness of her words.

"Of course, I just suddenly remembered some past events, but it has nothing to do with this medicine." Yin Qingyi's smile was so bright that it almost dazzled Yinzhen.

"It's good that you're alright. Then you shouldn't take this medicine. I'll find Physician Zhang to examine you tomorrow." Yinzhen said, taking the medicine from Yin Qingyi's hand. He didn't ask what Yin Qingyi was thinking about, after all, she was trembling like that, so it couldn't be anything pleasant.

"No, I want to drink it. The taste of this medicine is so comforting. I think I'll be able to have a good dinner after drinking it." Yin Qingyi blocked Yinzhen's hand, picked up the medicine bowl, and drank it all in one gulp.

"You! You're really disobedient." Yinzhen looked at the empty bowl, somewhat exasperated. He glared at Yin Qingyi, unsure whether to scold her or inquire. He couldn't bear to scold her, and hitting her was even more out of the question.

"Don't be angry, look at me, I'm perfectly fine now, aren't I?" Yin Qingyi held Yinzhen's hand and shook it coquettishly.

"Let's call the imperial physician over. That way, we'll have a plan if anything happens," Yinzhen said, still feeling uneasy.

"...You decide what to do." What could Yin Qingyi do? Of course, she had to go along with this man's wishes. She had just drunk the medicine against his will, so now she could just repay him.

"Su Peisheng, did you hear me?" Yinzhen said coldly, looking at Su Peisheng who was still standing there.

"Yes, this servant will go right away." Su Peisheng breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't about kidnapping people in the palace, he was willing to do anything.

"Are you feeling unwell anywhere right now?" After Su Peisheng left, Yinzhen looked at Yin Qingyi with worry in his eyes.

"I'm fine, not uncomfortable at all. In fact, the tightness in my chest that I've been feeling has eased quite a bit." Yin Qingyi chuckled. If the circumstances allowed, she would have liked to stand up, spin around for this man, and jump around a couple of times to show him that she was perfectly fine.
