She quickly got up from the bed and looked at her aunt.
He hesitated to speak.
Grandmother asked anxiously, "Shu'er, what happened to you? Are you feeling better now?"
Yan Yunshu looked at her grandmother and felt much more at ease.
"Grandma, Shu'er is fine."
"Why did you suddenly faint when you were fine? The court doctor couldn't see anything wrong. Your grandfather has already sent for the imperial physician to come and see you."
"I think I caught a cold yesterday."
Yan Yunshu got out of bed, feeling much better.
The maid came over to help her change her clothes and brought her a heater.
Afterwards, everyone went to the side hall together and had breakfast with Yan Yunshu.
After a while, the imperial physician arrived.
A middle-aged man, tall, thin and gentle.
He sat beside Yan Yunshu, observing, smelling, asking and feeling her.
Everyone waited anxiously outside the cubicle.
Finally, the imperial physician frowned and asked, "Has the young lady been frightened recently?"
Yan Yunshu didn't think the imperial physician could tell what was going on, she just wanted to cooperate with her grandfather and accept the imperial physician's diagnosis.
But unexpectedly, what he said came true.
Yan Yunshu was afraid that her grandfather would worry about her, but she couldn't avoid this matter, so she could only nod and say.
"Yes, I have nightmares."
"Is it just a nightmare?" The imperial physician looked at Yan Yunshu inquiringly, his eyes seeming to be searching for something in his memory.
Seeing that Yan Yunshu didn't want to say anything more, he stopped asking.
Instead, he prescribed medicine for Yan Yunshu according to her symptoms. When he left, he seemed to be hesitating and kept muttering to himself.
"This isn't an ordinary shock syndrome. The movement of the Qi and meridians is extremely strange. The last time I saw it was five years ago."
Yan Yunshu asked.
"Who is it?"
The imperial physician looked at Yan Yunshu in shock, as if he had just come out of his memories.
"Please forgive me, young lady. As a doctor, you cannot tell others about your patient's condition without permission."
Yan Yunshu was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."
The imperial physician was deeply impressed by the girl's kindness and consideration for others. He slowly began to pack up the things in his medicine box and prepared to leave.
Yan Yunshu asked, "Excuse me, my dear doctor, is that person inside or outside the palace?"
The imperial physician paused while packing the things in his medicine box, a look of panic on his face.
"Don't ask any more questions, girl."
Yan Yunshu looked at the imperial physician's face and already knew the answer. With such an expression, he must be someone in the palace.
"Then...Excuse me, Mr. Imperial Physician, is that person still alive?"
The imperial physician's expression changed drastically.
His eyes became even more flustered, and he didn't want to pack his things properly anymore. He just put all the things into the box without delaying for a moment.
"grown ups!"
Yan Yunshu stood up suddenly, "Sir! Are you so flustered because that person is already dead?"
The imperial physician paused. "Please be at ease, young lady. Even if a shock syndrome is strange, it won't easily lead to death. Besides, you only have mild symptoms, and they haven't accumulated into a heart disease."
Yan Yunshu pressed on, "So, what you're saying is that the deceased person has developed a heart disease."
This time, the imperial physician stopped answering and pretended not to hear. His feet seemed to be greased and he almost flew to the compartment door.
Creak the door open.
Then, he walked out quickly.
The imperial physician who was walking towards the outer room was covered in sweat.
Firstly, he was afraid that Yan Yunshu would set traps and ask questions, and secondly, he was afraid that he had almost leaked the royal family's past medical records.
I nearly lost my head.
When I arrived at the outer room, I saw the family of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery waiting for news.
Only after the imperial physician explained Yan Yunshu's condition in detail did they feel relieved.
My grandfather, uncle, and brothers all went about their business.
Grandmother and aunt came to the inner room and continued to accompany Yan Yunshu.
When the two of them walked in, Yan Yunshu stared at her aunt, and her aunt suddenly realized that Yan Yunshu might have something to say to her.
So she coaxed her grandmother to go back and rest.
Only Yan Yunshu and her aunt were left in the room.
Yan Yunshu pulled her aunt to her jewelry box, then carefully opened the lid and took out the third letter she had seen yesterday.
"Aunt...who is this person?"
Yan Yunshu pointed at the scribbled handwriting.
"Who is this person who fell into the water and became a different person?"
When my aunt looked at the handwriting, a trace of panic suddenly appeared in her eyes. She looked around, as if she was afraid that someone was eavesdropping.
After confirming that there is no one around.
She leaned over to Yan Yunshu's ear and whispered.
"The Queen."
Yan Yunshu was stunned. "Aunt, are you saying that person is the current Empress? Xu Jingye's mother?"
My aunt made a hushing gesture to Yan Yunshu.
Just then he nodded, "Yes."
"That……"
"The Empress, born into an ordinary official family, originally had a far greater social status than your mother and I, but she was naturally lively, straightforward, and generous, endearing to everyone. So, your mother and I were old acquaintances of her, and we were able to get along well. But one day, she fell into the water, and after waking up, her personality changed. She became gloomy, taciturn, and very reserved, so we naturally stopped associating with her. But things are unpredictable, she..."
My aunt frowned slightly and continued to reminisce.
"I heard that on the Lantern Festival, she had a chance encounter with the Emperor, who was then still the Crown Prince, and was inexplicably favored. With the birth of the eldest prince, Xu Jingye, she entered the Crown Prince's residence. Due to her son's status, she was promoted to Consort. Two years later, Xu Jinghuai's mother, the eldest daughter of the Crown Prince's tutor, who had already been engaged to the Crown Prince, entered the Crown Prince's residence and was promoted to Principal Consort, meaning the former Empress."
