"Yes," Nan Zhiyun did not refuse. The Empress Dowager stayed with Nan Zhiyun for a long time, and Yu Jingchen outside did not leave during this time.
He had been worried ever since the Empress Dowager went inside, because he didn't know what might happen there, so he was uneasy. Now... seeing the Empress Dowager come out of the room, Yu Jingchen took two steps forward.
"How did it go?" Yu Jingchen asked.
"She's much better now, but Your Majesty will have to be more patient with her these next few days and avoid upsetting her, since Yun'er's emotions aren't very stable either," the Empress Dowager said to Yu Jingchen.
Yu Jingchen lowered his eyes and replied, "I know what I'm doing."
"If you really had any sense of propriety, how did things get to this point? Your Majesty, why don't you understand?" the Empress Dowager asked. She had tried everything, from the best to the worst, but why was it all in vain?
"Yun'er's emotions have been quite unstable these past few days. Your Majesty, please allow me to take her to Cixi Palace for a couple of days." The Empress Dowager finally made this request.
Yu Jingchen didn't agree to the matter immediately, and the Empress Dowager wasn't in a hurry either, so she waited quietly. She originally thought that this matter wouldn't be too difficult, and that Yu Jingchen should agree to her request. After all, judging from the current situation, Yu Jingchen seemed to have some feelings for Yun'er.
but……
"I will not agree to your request. Yun'er must stay here. I will not allow her to leave my sight." Yu Jingchen's words were quite clear, and the Empress Dowager's expression clearly showed a hint of surprise.
"But Yun'er's current condition..." The Empress Dowager wanted to continue, but Yu Jingchen was already very impatient. However, his impatience probably started when the Empress Dowager said she wanted to take Nan Zhiyun away, since he was resistant to this topic.
Yu Jingchen interrupted her: "There's no need to continue. I will not agree. Yun'er cannot leave my sight. That's the bottom line." Yu Jingchen made it very clear.
"..." The Empress Dowager stared at Yu Jingchen without saying a word. After a long while, seeing that Yu Jingchen had no intention of backing down, the Empress Dowager gave up.
"The Zichen Palace is too oppressive; it's not good for Yun'er's health as she recuperates. You shouldn't always restrict her." The Empress Dowager has now taken a step back.
"I know that if she wants to go out, I will naturally not confine her to this small palace." Yu Jingchen was telling the truth. If Nan Zhiyun really wanted to go out for a walk, he would not keep her trapped.
Seeing that Yu Jingchen was willing to listen, the Empress Dowager said nothing more. Since Yu Jingchen wouldn't budge, and she couldn't take him away, she might as well let him be. In any case, the current Yu Jingchen probably wouldn't harm Nan Zhiyun.
"I'll take my leave now, Your Majesty. Yun'er is weak, please don't frighten her. If she encounters anything she can't handle, just send someone to find me," the Empress Dowager said. Yu Jingchen didn't respond. The Empress Dowager stood there for a while, frowning as she looked at the bloodstains on his chest. However, she didn't say anything more and finally left Zichen Palace silently.
Even after the Empress Dowager left, Yu Jingchen didn't dare go inside. The two were separated by the door, yet it felt as if they were too far apart. In the end, Yu Jingchen didn't go into the inner room; he stepped back.
"Your Majesty," Fortunately, Yu Jingchen came out and quickly stepped forward.
"Have someone keep an eye on Consort Shu's medicine these next two days; she must take it," Yu Jingchen said.
"Yes," Xinglai agreed.
"Send Gu Yin to the palace to see me immediately. If he refuses, then have him brought here by force!" Yu Jingchen was clearly suppressing his anger.
"Yes..." Xinglai didn't understand. What was going on this time? The Imperial Advisor, since His Majesty ascended the throne, this Imperial Advisor had been practically invisible. Why was he acting so strangely lately?
The Imperial Advisor, His Majesty, the Imperial Advisor and the Empress Dowager—what exactly is Gu Yin's purpose? What does he want to do? What does His Majesty have to do with him? He's been by His Majesty's side the whole time, and he's never seen the two of them interact. But why can't he understand what Gu Yin and His Majesty are saying?
Fortunately, he dared not delay and went to the Imperial Preceptor's residence in person. Before leaving, he had someone examine the wound on Yu Jingchen's chest that had reopened.
Fortunately, things went relatively smoothly this time, and Gu Yin didn't deliberately avoid him. He went directly to Zichen Palace with Xing Lai, where Yu Jingchen had been waiting for a long time. When Gu Yin arrived, the wound on his chest hadn't been properly treated, and Gu Yin happened to see it.
He merely glanced at it casually, without saying a word or showing any other extra expression.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Advisor has arrived." Xinglai said. Yu Jingchen looked at Gu Yin. Compared to last time, there was no change, even his attire was much worse.
The imperial physician treated Yu Jingchen's wounds and silently withdrew at his instruction. Xing Lai glanced back and forth between the two of them before finally choosing to leave as well.
Soon, only the two of them remained in the room. Yu Jingchen stood up from his seat. Gu Yin remained standing, neither speaking nor making a move.
"Is her memory real?" Yu Jingchen asked this question simply and directly.
"I don't understand what Your Majesty is saying. Why don't you explain it in more detail?" Gu Yin raised an eyebrow.
"You arranged for the medicine to be given to you, didn't you?" Yu Jingchen's expression grew colder and colder.
"If Your Majesty thinks so, then so be it." Gu Yin flicked his sleeves, showing no intention of arguing.
Yu Jingchen's face instantly turned cold, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became eerie and chilling. The next moment, Yu Jingchen directly struck Gu Yin with a palm, but how could Gu Yin be so easily injured by Yu Jingchen? In an instant, the two began to fight in the room.
