Perhaps because of Yu Jingchen's behavior, Nan Zhiyun gradually calmed down.
Upon seeing this, Yu Jingchen reached out and touched Nan Zhiyun's forehead again. It seemed that it was no longer as hot as before, and Yu Jingchen gently released her.
"Take her pulse," Yu Jingchen instructed.
The imperial physician immediately came forward and began to carefully take the pulse. After a while, a look of relief was clearly visible on the physician's face.
"Your Majesty, Consort Nan's fever has gradually subsided," the imperial physician replied.
"When will she wake up?" Yu Jingchen asked another question.
"He should be able to wake up normally tomorrow morning," the imperial physician said.
"Once she wakes up, come and let me know," Yu Jingchen told them.
Then, after glancing once more at Nan Zhiyun, whose eyes were still closed, he finally left Yajingju. If he continued like this, it would probably be dawn by then.
Yu Jingchen hadn't even had a chance to rest for long before he had to attend the morning court session. Consort De, who received Yu Jingchen's decree early that morning, almost couldn't contain her emotions.
"His Majesty spent so much time there last night, and now he's actually sending her to attend to that woman, Nan Zhiyun, who is ill?" Consort De looked at the eunuch who came to deliver the decree with disbelief: "Is that really what His Majesty ordered?"
"Your Highness, how could this servant dare to falsely convey an imperial edict?" The eunuch also had a fake smile on his face.
"Alright, you may leave. I understand. I'll go over after I change my clothes," Consort De said, suppressing her anger.
After the eunuch who delivered the imperial decree left, Consort De overturned everything on the table: "What is His Majesty thinking?"
“Your Highness, please calm down. You know what His Majesty treated Consort Nan in the past. Besides, didn’t His Majesty just punish her yesterday? I heard her back was beaten bloody.” Liu Zhi, the maidservant of Consort De, said.
"What does Your Majesty mean now?" Consort De still looked angry.
"Your Majesty, please don't worry. It's just a formality. I'm sure His Majesty won't mind. You just need to go through with it," Liu Zhi comforted her.
"That's true. It's impossible for her to actually ask me to serve her. Yesterday was probably just a formality because the Empress Dowager was coming back," Consort De comforted herself.
"I'm going to see what tricks this vixen has up her sleeve this time, and whether she's really going to die of illness!" Consort De said viciously. However, at this moment, she was unaware that Xu Shi had been captured by Yu Jingchen.
Not long after, Consort De arrived at Yajing Residence. Nan Zhiyun was still unconscious.
"Consort De" Qianxia and her entourage bowed to Consort De.
"His Majesty sent me to see Consort Nan. Is she feeling any better now?" Consort De put on her usual magnanimous demeanor again.
"Your Highness, Consort Nan's condition is much better than yesterday, and she should wake up soon," the imperial physician replied.
"Since His Majesty has instructed me to look after Consort Nan, you may all leave now. I will take care of things here," Consort De said, and began to sit down.
"How could I trouble Consort De? You can leave these matters to me." Qianxia dared not actually hand this place over to Consort De. Although His Majesty had sent her yesterday, who knew what Consort De was really thinking?
