Lin Yuxin was all ready and about to start taking the pulse when Qiu Qiyi spoke up:
"Miss Lin, can you really treat patients from so far away? I don't want to be used as a guinea pig. Come here!"
Qiu Qiyi spoke in a calm tone, yet it sounded as if he were giving Lin Yuxin a command.
Lin Yuxin clenched her fist. She felt she had reached her limit and could no longer tolerate it. If this man went crazy in a moment, she would end him with a single needle.
Lin Yuxin took back the rope in her hand, walked to the bedside, and instead of sitting on the bed, she squatted down, took the emperor's hand, and began to take his pulse.
Before long, Lin Yuxin's expression became serious, and her eyes were filled with sympathy as she looked at Qiu Qiyi.
"What kind of look is that? Can I even cure this?"
Qiu Qiyi felt a chill run down his spine from the stare, and his heart tightened. With a stern face, he asked.
Lin Yuxin slowly withdrew her hand, stood up, took a step back, and then hesitantly spoke:
"Your Majesty, I can cure your illness, but...!"
"But what?"
Qiu Qiyi frowned and asked, his gaze darkening as he watched Lin Yuxin take a step back. "Am I some kind of evil being? Why are you so far away from me?"
"However, it's too troublesome to treat. You're under too much stress and have too many worries, which has caused your body to be unable to withstand it and suddenly collapse. So no amount of medicine will help. You have to try to be more open-minded."
Lin Yuxin lied through her teeth without even blinking.
Qiu Qiyi is in very good health. At most, he has some liver qi stagnation, which is actually related to his overthinking. It's nothing serious.
However! In Lin Yuxin's mouth, nothing would turn into something, so how could she let go of this opportunity to mess with him?
Dare to choke her? She'll make you regret messing with her.
Qiu Qiyi was still wondering if Lin Yuxin's words were true when he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and his whole body tensed up.
However, he was too arrogant and didn't think anyone would dare to mess with him, so he didn't pay any attention.
He looked at Lin Yuxin and asked suspiciously:
"Are you telling the truth? What kind of illness is this? How could this happen?"
Could this woman be incompetent and just spout nonsense? The imperial physician examined his pulse before and said he had no health problems. How come she makes it sound so serious? That he's beyond medical help?
"Your Majesty, if you don't trust me, you can have someone else treat your illness. However, it's uncertain when you'll be able to stand up again. You should have had the imperial physician examine you these past two days, right?"
"Didn't they find anything during the tests? You have a mental illness, the legendary depression, bipolar disorder, etc. These are conditions that ordinary doctors can't detect!"
Lin Yuxin spoke with utmost seriousness and conviction. Seeing her earnestness, Qiu Qiyi gradually lowered his guard, and after a long while, he finally asked, puzzled:
What is depression? What is bipolar disorder?
"Depression is caused by certain events, resulting in low mood, inability to think things through, etc. Bipolar disorder is the opposite of depression. It is caused by certain events, resulting in frequent outbursts of anger, thoughts of killing or hitting people, in order to find pleasure."
"These are all mental illnesses, and there are many other mental illnesses, such as autism, stress disorder, etc. These are all caused by a lack of mental strength."
Lin Yuxin gave him a brief explanation of mental illness, but she wasn't wrong. Qiu Qiyi had been in that kind of environment since childhood, so he already had psychological problems.
His actions after ascending to the throne reveal that he was indeed a manic-depressive, taking pleasure in killing others to console himself for the suffering he had endured in the past.
"Tell me, is this disease curable?"
Qiu Qiyi listened to a lot of things but didn't understand them. He only knew that Lin Yuxin was half right. Because of hatred, he did want to kill those who had bullied him to vent his anger.
But he didn't see it as an illness; it was his vengeance! The revenge he wanted to take!!
Regardless of the circumstances, as long as he can be cured and get out of bed, that's all that matters. As for the woman's disrespect, we can settle that once he's recovered.
"Yes, there is, but I'm afraid you won't be able to endure the hardship."
Lin Yuxin hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"It's alright. I've endured all kinds of hardships before, so this little bit won't make a difference!"
Qiu Qiyi's tone was deep and his gaze was cold; his words were full of murderous intent.
Lin Yuxin raised an eyebrow; it seemed she had touched a sore spot.
"Alright! But I have one condition!"
Lin Yuxin nodded, thought for a moment, and then said something.
"you say!"
Qiu Qiyi snapped out of his daze, withdrew the murderous intent from his eyes, and looked at Lin Yuxin to ask.
"Since you've asked me to treat your illness, then you can only use the medicine I prescribe. You can have other imperial physicians examine your pulse, but you can't use the medicine they prescribe. If it clashes with the medicine I prescribe, then you'll have to bear the consequences yourself!"
Lin Yuxin said with a serious face, "Don't blame me if something goes wrong. I won't take the blame."
Although the medicine he has will wear off the day after tomorrow, and he will be able to get up and walk around again, I have to say this beforehand, lest this bastard takes advantage of the situation.
Qiu Qiyi thought about it and agreed.
"Alright, I agree. However, during the time you are treating me, you must stay in my palace and are not allowed to go anywhere else."
Qiu Qiyi also made a condition: he had to keep this woman under his watchful eye so that he could monitor her and prevent her from drugging him without his knowledge.
"Living in the same palace? I don't agree. I have a husband. At most, I'll stay in the palace next to yours. You can call me if you need anything. Otherwise, forget it. You can just stay in bed for the rest of your life!"
Lin Yuxin refused to stay in the same room with him. She was afraid she might actually poison him and send this madman to hell!
"you…!"
Qiu Qiyi was furious. Was he really that unpopular? Was he really that inferior to Li Xiaochen? At first, he looked down on this woman, thinking she had no femininity and no sense of hierarchy.
But being constantly looked down upon, as if he were blind?! Qiu Qiyi felt she could barely swallow this insult.
Lin Yuxin didn't care whether he was furious or not. Let her share a room with him? No way! At worst, she'd just throw a bomb in a minute, destroy the palace, and leave the emperor with nowhere to live.
So Lin Yuxin didn't care about Qiu Qiyi's murderous glare. She stood there, staring straight at Qiu Qiyi, not giving an inch, and retorted sharply with her own words:
"What do you mean, 'I'? I'm a married woman, what kind of life is it to live with another man? I'm not doing it. If it's really not working out, then find someone else to treat you. I don't have that ability!"
Lin Yuxin's nonchalant attitude infuriated Qiu Qiyi even more; he had never seen such an unyielding woman.
"Fine! You'll stay in the cubicle! But if you can't make me stand up within three days, then you don't need to stay. Go to hell and wait for your regent!"
Qiu Qiyi, with a cold face, also gave Lin Yuxin a death order: "Didn't you say you could cure me? Then if you can't, you'll only have one way out: death."
