The palace maid dampened a handkerchief for Nan Zhiyun, continuing to say, "By the way, Your Highness, His Majesty said that if Your Highness wakes up, you may go out for a walk if you wish, and no one will stop you."
Nan Zhiyun began to wash her face, ignoring the palace maid's words. The maid served her quite meticulously and was very attentive to Nan Zhiyun, but her words kept revolving around what the Emperor was doing, which annoyed Nan Zhiyun, perhaps because she was already somewhat flustered.
"I don't like hearing this. If you continue, you might as well go and serve His Majesty directly." Nan Zhiyun had no desire to listen to her continue.
"Yes, this servant knows her mistake, please forgive me, Your Highness." The palace maid immediately stopped speaking, not daring to continue. But it wasn't her fault, it was all Eunuch Xinglai's fault...
Imperial Dragon Palace
Yu Jingchen has a high fever, and the imperial physicians are all here, but they can't bring the fever down no matter what they try. Xinglai has been so anxious that she's lost her temper many times.
"What are you imperial physicians doing at the Imperial Medical Bureau? Are you a bunch of idle people? His Majesty is in this condition, and you are all helpless, all saying 'please forgive me, please forgive me.' If anything happens to His Majesty, none of you will escape!" Xinglai pointed at the group of imperial physicians and began to scold them.
Your Majesty, you just woke up yesterday, but you ignored all advice and stayed up all night to keep watch over him. Do you really think you're indestructible?
That afternoon, Yu Jingchen's fever gradually subsided, but one problem after another arose. Upon hearing that Nan Zhiyun had woken up, Nan Su went to He'an Palace with the Empress Dowager and dined together for three days, but Nan Su coughed up blood.
Nan Zhiyun was startled by the scene and burst into tears. She quickly summoned the imperial physician. Nan Su had been comforting her, saying that everything was alright, but he fainted right after saying that.
The imperial physician examined him and said that Nan Su had suffered severe physical strain from fighting on the battlefield over the past few years, and had many old wounds, several of which were nearly fatal. Now that he was getting older, it was natural that his health was not good.
Nan Zhiyun sat before Nan Su, tears streaming down her face. In her first life, facing her father, she hadn't even had a chance to say a word before her father, a white-haired man, had to bury his black-haired son. She was unfilial…
In her second life, she watched helplessly as her father was executed by Yu Jingchen for treason. He had dedicated his life to the country and protected the peace of the region, but in the end, he was convicted of treason, and the reputation of the Nan family and his life were completely destroyed. He was even scorned by thousands...
In the third life (in the main story), her father was assassinated at the general's mansion. On the day she returned to her parents' home, she never saw her father smiling at her again...
Heaven, why are you so cruel? Not only to her, but also to the Nan family, to her father... For the first time, Nan Zhiyun felt that heaven was so unfair, so cold-blooded and cruel, and for the first time, she felt that life and death were so terrifying.
The Empress Dowager looked at Nan Zhiyun, who was sitting in front of Nan Su and unwilling to leave, and sighed slightly. But she knew that even if she tried to persuade her, it would be useless.
Nan Zhiyun remained seated there. Nan Su had not yet woken up. She looked at her father, who had aged considerably, appearing much older than in her previous lives. Perhaps this life was simply a little later in time.
When she was little, her father loved to hold her and carry her on his back. But now that her father was old, she felt guilty, as if she hadn't been able to do anything for him. She blamed herself for everything. If she hadn't entered the palace, would things have turned out differently?
There's more tonight; I'm thinking of working overtime to write the ending.
