The imperial physician changed the medicine, but...
"Be careful with the dosage and don't actually harm Consort Shu's body." Xinglai couldn't help but add this comment. He was afraid His Majesty would regret it and didn't want Consort Shu to be treated so cruelly.
"This, His Majesty..." The imperial physician was still timid, afraid that this matter would implicate him.
"If Your Majesty questions me, I will take responsibility. Just do as I say." Xinglai didn't think His Majesty would really be that ruthless. If it were before, he might have believed His Majesty would do such a thing, but now it's different. As an outsider, he could see very clearly what His Majesty's feelings were for Consort Shu.
He understood His Majesty, which was why he dared to take such a risk. The imperial physician dared not say anything more. After all, although Xinglai was just a servant, he was still a servant of the Emperor, and he, as an imperial physician, did not have the courage to disobey him.
After giving all the instructions, Xinglai returned to Yu Jingchen's side. Yu Jingchen did not continue reviewing the memorials. Xinglai could tell that His Majesty was in a very bad mood.
Yu Jingchen has been wondering why he bothered with such a trivial matter today, why he went to the trouble of saving her? Wouldn't it have been better if she had just drowned? Saving her only made him angry!
"Your Majesty, the order has already been given, and the medicine is being prepared now," Xinglai specifically came over to remind him.
"Send it over once it's cooked. If you don't drink it, have someone force-feed it!" Yu Jingchen was furious.
“Yes…” Xinglai dared not speak casually.
"Step down," Yu Jingchen said, seemingly unwilling to say anything more.
"Yes," Xinglai was about to leave when he heard Yujingchen's voice again just as he reached the door.
"Wait, prepare the carriage for He'an Palace. I will watch her drink that bowl of medicine today," Yu Jingchen added.
Xinglai: "..." Could there still be a chance? Xinglai felt a little fortunate. Maybe His Majesty would suddenly change his mind again today?
"Yes," Xinglai agreed, and then ordered someone to prepare the sedan chair. When Yu Jingchen arrived, it was already dark. The Empress Dowager had long since returned to Cining Palace, and Nan Zhiyun was still sitting on the bed. She had been frightened today and was very weak, so she had been resting.
"His Majesty has arrived!" Fortunately, the announcement was made at the door. Nan Zhiyun felt complicated upon hearing the news of Yu Jingchen's arrival. She hadn't expected Yu Jingchen to rescue her today. She even thought that Yu Jingchen would watch her struggle in the water and deliberately prevent anyone from rescuing her, but she never expected that he would personally go into the water.
Not only that, the palace servants also told her all about the group of people that Yu Jingchen dealt with today. The Yu Jingchen of the past would never have done such things, so when she heard these words today, she was deeply shocked.
When Yu Jingchen carried her back today, she could even feel his anxiety. At that moment, she even thought that Yu Jingchen might care about her a little bit, but unfortunately... she no longer had the courage to believe it.
When Yu Jingchen came in, Nan Zhiyun also stood up. See, this is the difference. As long as Yu Jingchen comes over, no matter what she looks like, she can only bow and bow to him. They are from different worlds.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects," Nan Zhiyun said softly and weakly. Yu Jingchen's anger had been rising since he heard that Nan Zhiyun didn't want the child, so he naturally wouldn't soften his heart now.
"Just because you're pregnant, does that mean you can't even behave properly?" Yu Jingchen's tone was unfriendly. Yes, he was deliberately looking for trouble.
Nan Zhiyun sighed silently. Where did she get those thoughts today? He had no pity, no patience, no tolerance for her.
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong." Nan Zhiyun didn't want to argue or waste time, so she obediently knelt down and admitted her mistake.
But her current action only enraged Yu Jingchen more: "Do you really enjoy kneeling that much? The injury on your knees has just healed, and you want to cripple it again?"
Does Nan Zhiyun know what she has done? Is it really because of the pregnancy? He doesn't want this child to come, but it's fine this way. If he doesn't want it, she won't keep it. This is better for everyone, and she won't be in a difficult position.
"You don't want this child?" Yu Jingchen said very bluntly, and Nan Zhiyun's heart tightened.
“That’s perfect, I don’t want it either.” Yu Jingchen continued. Although Nan Zhiyun had already expected this outcome, she still felt a sense of desolation when she heard it with her own ears.
"It is I who am unworthy. I... can give up this child." Nan Zhiyun didn't know why she replied with such a sentence.
These words became the fuse that ignited Yu Jingchen's anger, causing him to erupt instantly. He suddenly grabbed Nan Zhiyun's chin, forcing her to look at him. Nan Zhiyun felt as if his bones were about to be crushed.
"Don't want it? Nan Zhiyun, do you know what you're saying? And what right do you have to say that?" Yu Jingchen's tone was unfriendly, his eyes so deep they seemed to suck people in.
At this moment, Yu Jingchen was like a demon god returning, terrifying beyond measure, leaving a sea of blood wherever he went.
"You are indeed unworthy, but more than being unworthy of my child, you are even less worthy of saying you don't want this child. Having this child is the child's misfortune, but your blessing." Yu Jingchen's tone was icy, yet it chilled people to the bone even in the July weather.
Nan Zhiyun felt a desolate emptiness in her heart. She always felt that everything he gave her was charity, and that everything she possessed was a gift from him.
"Since you don't want it, I'll grant your wish today." Yu Jingchen said viciously. Nan Zhiyun had an ominous premonition, but she was powerless to resist.
"Bring the medicine in," Yu Jingchen said to the outside, and then Nan Zhiyun saw a palace servant bring in a bowl of dark medicine.
"If you don't want it, then don't want it. Not only do you not want it now, but you also won't have the right to want it in the future. If you drink it, you will lose this child forever, and you will also lose the right to be a mother forever." Yu Jingchen released his grip on Nan Zhiyun's hand.
Nan Zhiyun knelt on the ground, looking at the bowl of medicine, a sudden sense of fear rising in her heart. She didn't know why, even though it was something she didn't want, seeing this bowl of medicine actually terrified her. She just didn't know if she was afraid of losing her child or losing the right to be a mother.
