After the imperial physician left, the room fell silent. Yu Jingchen remained silent, and Nan Zhiyun didn't dare to speak either, sitting there like a child who had done something wrong. She knew she had made a mistake this time.
"Your Majesty..." Nan Zhiyun's voice was barely audible. Yu Jingchen didn't react, so Nan Zhiyun called again, "Your Majesty..."
Yu Jingchen glanced at her, and Nan Zhiyun immediately shut up.
"What are you yelling for? Now you know to call me? What did I tell you before? Didn't you say you remembered? Do you understand?" Yu Jingchen asked several times in a row, annoyed. Nan Zhiyun was speechless.
"Your Majesty!" It was Xinglai who came in.
"The people have all been brought," Xinglai said. Nan Zhiyun was puzzled upon hearing this. Who were they?
Just as Nan Zhiyun was still pondering this question, Yu Jingchen looked over again. Nan Zhiyun was startled, while Yu Jingchen felt a tightness in his throat, feeling very uncomfortable.
"Stay here and don't run around. If you dare to run around again, you'll see what I do to you later!" Yu Jingchen was truly angered by Nan Zhiyun today. Nan Zhiyun, feeling guilty, didn't dare to say much.
"Watch her drink the medicine and ginger soup in a bit. Without affecting the efficacy, add a few more bitter herbs like Coptis chinensis to the medicine. Since she likes drinking medicine so much, let her drink it to remember it well." Yu Jingchen said, still looking at Nan Zhiyun. He glanced at Nan Zhiyun with pity, thinking, "Consort Shu... you're doomed..." In his opinion, Consort Shu should just pretend to be pitiful and show weakness. That way, His Majesty will definitely feel sorry for her and not pursue the matter.
"Your Majesty...it's bitter," Nan Zhiyun still dared to argue.
"How can you learn a lesson if you don't suffer? If I hear someone tell me later that you didn't take your medicine, I'll settle all the old and new scores with you." Yu Jingchen left the room after saying these words, leaving Nan Zhiyun with a troubled expression.
Yu Jingchen's expression changed as soon as he turned around, his face turning icy and sending chills down one's spine. When Yu Jingchen went out, a large group of people were already kneeling outside, and they all began to greet him upon seeing him.
Yu Jingchen sat down in his seat, leaning back lazily with his hands on the armrests and his right leg crossed over his left. He coldly glanced around.
"What? Nobody's going to speak?" Yu Jingchen said indifferently, his voice like ice shards in the dead of winter, and the people below knelt down, not daring to utter a word.
"Yu Wan'er," was the first name Yu Jingchen called for the Second Princess.
"Your...Your subject is here..." Yu Wan'er's voice was trembling. There were still wounds on her face, from the scratches on her face from the bell.
"Get up," Yu Jingchen's voice softened slightly.
“Yes…” Yu Wan’er stood up, her body trembling.
"Why did you take the cat over there?" Yu Jingchen's voice was unreadable.
"Your subject, your subject only wanted to take the bell to Consort Shu... Your subject didn't mean it, your subject..." Yu Wan'er cried out in fright.
"I was just asking you a question, I didn't do anything to you, can't you speak clearly?" Yu Jingchen was in a terrible mood because of Nan Zhiyun, and seeing Yu Wan'er like this annoyed him.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I know I was wrong." Yu Wan'er was so frightened that she knelt down again.
"Take the Second Princess back and keep a close watch on her. Without my permission, she is not allowed to leave her room." Unable to get any information from her, he was too lazy to continue asking.
