Qianxia wanted to remind him earlier, but she was afraid of angering Yu Jingchen. Yu Jingchen had finally changed his opinion of Nan Zhiyun, and Qianxia was afraid that if she really stopped him, it would harm Nan Zhiyun.
"Go and fetch some water," Qianxia instructed.
After the palace maid brought the water, Qianxia handed it to Nan Zhiyun to rinse her mouth. Yu Jingchen watched from the side, his brows furrowed.
Nan Zhiyun took a while to recover. She really felt like she wanted to die. She had actually vomited like this in front of Yu Jingchen.
"Your Majesty, this servant will take Miss downstairs to change her clothes first," Qianxia said to Yujingchen.
Yu Jingchen waved his hand, signaling them to go down first.
After Nan Zhiyun and Qianxia left, Yu Jingchen said to the palace servant beside him, "Go to the Imperial Medical Bureau and ask them to bring some medicine to aid digestion."
Judging from Nan Zhiyun's appearance just now, Yu Jingchen guessed that she must have eaten too much. But she didn't dare to refuse, which explained why she seemed hesitant to speak earlier.
It took about half an hour for Nan Zhiyun to come out. She was actually trying to delay, after all, she had just been embarrassing and impolite. Vomiting in front of the emperor was a great disrespect.
Having dawdled for so long, Nan Zhiyun had assumed Yu Jingchen had already left. However, when she asked the palace servants, they all said His Majesty was still waiting outside. Having no other choice, Nan Zhiyun had to come out first.
She had already prepared herself for punishment; she knew she couldn't escape her fate of being punished.
When Nan Zhiyun left, Yu Jingchen was still sitting outside drinking tea, looking very relaxed and nonchalant. His expression revealed no emotion whatsoever.
"All done? Come over when you're done," Yu Jingchen said as he saw Nan Zhiyun come out.
Nan Zhiyun walked over slowly, her heart pounding.
Just as she approached and was about to kneel down, Yu Jingchen spoke: "Sit down and talk."
Nan Zhiyun paused in her movements.
"Didn't you hear what I said? I told you to sit down and talk." Yu Jingchen repeated.
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty," Nan Zhiyun replied, then walked to the side and sat down.
"Do you know what went wrong with you just now?" Yu Jingchen asked.
Upon hearing Yu Jingchen begin to interrogate her, Nan Zhiyun, who had just sat down, immediately tried to stand up again.
"I've already told you to sit down and talk!" Yu Jingchen's tone was a little harsh this time.
Nan Zhiyun naturally understood that he was angry. Nan Zhiyun hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not stand up.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have been disrespectful in front of Your Majesty," Nan Zhiyun said.
"Anything else besides this?" Yu Jingchen asked.
“Your concubine…” Nan Zhiyun couldn’t think of anything.
"If you can't figure it out, then think about it carefully. I'll give you three chances. If you can come up with an answer, I won't pursue the matter today. If you can't figure it out, then the punishment will be doubled." Yu Jingchen appeared very serious, as if he were telling the truth, and Nan Zhiyun actually believed him, clenching the handkerchief in her hand tightly.
"Your Majesty, I have kept you waiting for too long." Knowing and being afraid were useless; Nan Zhiyun could only guess.
"Think about it again," Yu Jingchen said, which meant that he was wrong.
“This concubine…this concubine would damage the image of a palace concubine,” Nan Zhiyun thought for a moment before continuing her reply.
"Last chance," Yu Jingchen's tone was colder than before.
Something still didn't feel right; Nan Zhiyun's heart had already sank.
The last answer... Nan Zhiyun really didn't know, but she still had to give an answer.
“This concubine…is unworthy of Your Majesty’s favor,” Nan Zhiyun said.
After she finished speaking, Yu Jingchen's face darkened completely.
