It probably took about half a month for this to pass.
During a moment of leisure, Yu Jingchen casually asked, "Her injuries should be healed by now, right?"
The old man, Xing Gonggong, naturally knew who he was asking about, but... he didn't care, so he didn't know if Nan Zhiyun was really better. But he figured she should be almost better, since it had been more than half a month.
So Eunuch Xing replied, "It seems it should be better by now. Perhaps I should go and ask the imperial physician?"
"No need, prepare to depart for Yajing Residence," Yu Jingchen ordered directly.
"Yes," replied Grandpa Xing.
When Yu Jingchen arrived at Ya Jing Ju, the entrance was quiet. To be honest, even the word "quiet" was too nice to describe; it should have been more like desolate and lonely.
Upon seeing this, the eunuch shouted, "His Majesty has arrived!"
The people at the gate were startled when they saw Yu Jingchen and immediately knelt down to pay their respects.
Yu Jingchen ignored them and continued walking inside. The people inside probably heard that Yu Jingchen had arrived, so they immediately came out.
Qianxia helped Nan Zhiyun to her feet and knelt down in front of Yu Jingchen... when they were still some distance apart, as Yu Jingchen didn't like her getting too close.
"This concubine greets Your Majesty," Nan Zhiyun's voice sounded weak.
"Get up," Yu Jingchen frowned upon hearing his voice.
Then, with Qianxia's help, Nan Zhiyun slowly got up. Her frail body looked as if a strong gust of wind could blow her away. Yu Jingchen thought she looked like someone who had been ill for a long time.
"What's wrong? Are you still not well?" Yu Jingchen asked. Compared to before, this only meant that he could stand up.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am much better now." Nan Zhiyun's face was still slightly pale.
"You mean 'much better'? Is this what you call a ghost? If you went out, you'd scare people to death." Yu Jingchen's casual remark made Nan Zhiyun kneel down again.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. It was I who was impolite," Nan Zhiyun said, her voice tinged with nervousness.
Yu Jingchen suddenly had a headache. What was wrong with him? This was unbelievable! What did he say? He couldn't understand his tone. Was he blaming her? If she knelt twice more like this, she'd probably be bedridden for another half a month.
"Get up!" Yu Jingchen's tone turned sour, which actually frightened Nan Zhiyun.
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong," Nan Zhiyun said, her voice trembling slightly as she dared not raise her head.
Yu Jingchen: "..."
He suppressed his anger for a while before finally speaking calmly: "Help your concubine up." These were the words Yu Jingchen said to Qianxia.
“Yes…” Qianxia replied, then went to help Nan Zhiyun up: “Miss, please get up.”
Nan Zhiyun struggled to stand up, following Qianxia's hand, as if she were about to collapse at any moment.
"Tell me, what's going on? It's been so long and it's still not better?" Yu Jingchen asked Qianxia, he didn't want to ask Nan Zhiyun anyway.
“Your Majesty, Miss’s wound became infected a few days ago and has relapsed, and…” Qianxia hesitated to continue.
"Speak!" It wouldn't be difficult for Yu Jingchen to investigate these things, but he usually wouldn't ask questions on his own initiative, so he didn't know what was going on.
"Miss is not favored by His Majesty, and has been confined to her quarters for angering him. It's inevitable that the servants below are not entirely satisfied, and the medicine delivery is not on time, and sometimes the medicine is of poor quality. The people in the kitchen are also like this, so..." Qianxia didn't continue, and Yu Jingchen knew what was going on.
