Yu Jingchen reached out and cleanly tore off the last bit of clothing covering Nan Zhiyun's body. Nan Zhiyun felt a chill and shivered.
"Yun'er, don't be afraid. It won't be the same as before. Trust me one more time, okay?" Yu Jingchen patiently comforted her, trying his best to eliminate Nan Zhiyun's fear of this matter.
“…Okay,” Nan Zhiyun looked at him, she herself was actually trying to overcome it.
Yu Jingchen smiled gently and placed his hand on Nan Zhiyun's eyes.
"If you're scared, then don't look, okay? Close your eyes, be good," Yu Jingchen said. Nan Zhiyun nodded.
Yu Jingchen kissed her again, and this time he didn't hesitate. His hands roamed freely over Nan Zhiyun's body. Because he was mindful of the injury on Nan Zhiyun's foot, Yu Jingchen's movements were very gentle, and he avoided touching the injury on her foot.
But... Nan Zhiyun couldn't control herself. Her mind was now overwhelmed by those past memories; she was terrified, panicked, and helpless...
Just as Yu Jingchen was about to take the next step, Nan Zhiyun trembled in fright.
“Your Majesty…” Nan Zhiyun opened her eyes, looked at Yu Jingchen, and reached out to stop Yu Jingchen’s next actions.
"I'm scared... I'm afraid..." Nan Zhiyun couldn't hold back her tears. No, she really couldn't control herself... This won't do, this won't do.
"Yun'er..." How could Yu Jingchen not be moved at all?
"Your Majesty, please... please don't... it hurts, it hurts so much..." Nan Zhiyun dared not, she couldn't do it.
"Please...you can't..." Nan Zhiyun could no longer hold back and her emotions began to break down.
"It's okay, it's okay, sweetie, don't be afraid, don't be afraid anymore, okay..." Yu Jingchen immediately hugged her, all those thoughts he had just had vanished from his mind. The little girl's crying made his heart melt. Hearing Nan Zhiyun beg him like this, he was completely defeated.
"I'm so scared... Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..." Nan Zhiyun's emotions were somewhat unstable.
She's apologizing... but what did she do wrong...? Such a good girl, and now she's apologizing for something like this...
Yu Jingchen hugged her tighter: "No need to apologize, Yun'er did nothing wrong, it's me who's wrong. It's okay, don't worry."
"I can't... No, Your Majesty, Yun'er is in so much pain..." Nan Zhiyun was trembling all over, she must have been really scared.
"Yes, it's all my fault. I scared Yun'er. We won't do it anymore, we won't do it anymore. Don't be afraid, don't cry, okay? It's okay, don't worry." Yu Jingchen pulled her into his arms while coaxing her, and gently kissed Nan Zhiyun's forehead, his eyes full of pity.
"Please..." Nan Zhiyun seemed frightened, her expression was somewhat dazed, and her voice was clearly trembling with sobs.
"Let's not continue, don't be afraid, okay? Yun'er, be good, it's all over now. We don't want to think about it anymore, we won't force you, okay? We're done, it's okay, don't be afraid." Yu Jingchen was a little annoyed, not at Nan Zhiyun, nor at not having completed what he was supposed to do.
He was angry with himself, angry at the terrible things he had done in the past, and angry that his actions just now had once again stirred up the deep-seated fear in Nan Zhiyun's heart.
"Your Majesty... Yun'er is in so much pain... it hurts so much." Nan Zhiyun was probably in a daze at the moment, and she probably didn't even know what she was saying.
"Yes, it's my fault, sweetie, don't cry. I'm such a jerk, okay? It's all my fault. I scared Yun'er and made her afraid." Yu Jingchen hadn't gone that far yet, so naturally he couldn't have hurt Nan Zhiyun. As for Nan Zhiyun's constant cries of pain, Yu Jingchen thought it was probably a lingering trauma from the past and a stress response.
Thinking about all this, Yu Jingchen wanted to slap himself twice. What kind of lousy and despicable things had he done in the past?
He pulled her into his arms, gently comforting her and patting her back softly. But Nan Zhiyun seemed lost in her memories.
"No...it hurts, Your Majesty..." Sweat was already beading on Nan Zhiyun's forehead, the fine beads of sweat causing Yu Jingchen to frown. Nan Zhiyun's current state was definitely not right...
"Yun'er?" Yu Jingchen called out to her.
"No, no, Your Majesty, I beg you, please don't..." Nan Zhiyun's eyes were tightly closed, and she lost consciousness.
Yu Jingchen felt a pang of panic. Had he fallen back into those terrifying and cruel memories of the past? The heat in his body slowly subsided, and Yu Jingchen, feeling a little flustered, hugged the person tightly.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, sweetie... don't be afraid anymore." Yu Jingchen regretted it. How could he have done that? He knew she would be scared, he knew this was hard to overcome, so why did he still test her? Why couldn't he control himself?
Since she's afraid of this kind of thing, then just let it go. Why bother trying to help her overcome these things? Yu Jingchen felt like he was becoming more and more despicable. Could he really not resist something like this?
Looking at the uneasy little girl in his arms, Yu Jingchen felt a pang of regret.
"It hurts, it hurts..." Nan Zhiyun kept crying out in pain.
Yu Jingchen didn't know what to do... but this thing that kept hurting... Yu Jingchen's mind suddenly cleared up, as if he had thought of something, and he looked at Nan Zhiyun's injured foot.
Because of Nan Zhiyun's fear, he had moved a bit too much, and most of the injury on his foot was probably from that. He reached out to check Nan Zhiyun's injury, but as soon as he touched it, Nan Zhiyun cried out, "No, it hurts...it hurts so much!" Nan Zhiyun's reaction became intense.
Yu Jingchen knew the problem. It was more accurate to say that he had just aggravated his foot injury, and coupled with Nan Zhiyun's subconscious suggestion, so…
In the end, Yu Jingchen had no choice. He suppressed his desire and called out in a hoarse voice, "Summon the imperial physician!"
Xinglai, who was listening outside, was stunned for a moment. Why was the imperial physician being summoned again out of the blue? But he dared not investigate further and immediately went to find the imperial physician. Given the current favor shown to Consort Shu, he dared not delay for a moment and quickly brought the imperial physician over.
"Your Majesty..." Before the imperial physician could even perform the proper etiquette, Yu Jingchen said, "Come and examine Consort Shu's injuries first!"
"Yes, yes," the imperial physician practically scrambled over. Because of what had just happened, the curtains were now drawn, and Nan Zhiyun was completely naked. Yu Jingchen pulled the blanket over her, leaving only her injured foot exposed.
As for Yu Jingchen… his clothes were loose and baggy, and he held Nan Zhiyun tightly in his arms, never letting go. The imperial physician naturally dared not look at him carelessly.
