"Your Majesty? Did you do as instructed? You must recite it calmly for it to be effective!"
Lin Yuxin pressed her advantage and said something else.
Qiu Qiyi: ……!
Damn it, meeting you is the biggest calamity of my life. He's just bored and had nothing better to do than bring this scourge into the palace!
Qiu Qiyi took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, closed his eyes, and did as Lin Yuxin had instructed.
It really worked in no time; his itching stopped, and he just soaked in the water until he almost fell asleep.
Lin Yuxin didn't have time to deal with him, so she just let him soak in the water, because her food had arrived and it was time for her to feed him.
When Physician Kong brought over the prepared medicine, Lin Yuxin's mouth was bulging, and she couldn't speak at all.
"Miss Lin, the medicine is ready!"
Physician Kong hesitated for a moment, then served the medicine and said.
"Ugh!"
Lin Yuxin quickly pointed to the cubicle with one finger and then started eating again.
Physician Kong thought he was being asked to feed the Emperor his medicine, so he picked up the medicine and headed towards the private room.
Lin Yuxin finally finished eating; she had actually eaten all five dishes and one soup on the table.
Lin Yuxin's hand unconsciously went to her stomach, and she said to herself:
My son! Is that you? You eat so much! Are you trying to turn your mother into a pig?!
But jokes aside, if she really is pregnant, she won't mistreat her son! He'll eat and drink as he pleases.
She hasn't taken my pulse yet, has she? What if she hasn't?
Lin Yuxin placed both hands under the table, avoiding the surrounding eunuchs, and held her right hand's pulse with her left hand, carefully feeling it.
Lin Yuxin's eyes lit up immediately. Her pulse was slippery—she was pregnant! Counting the days, it seemed to have happened a couple of days after she left Beijing. It had only been a month, and her pulse was still a bit unstable. If her pregnancy symptoms hadn't been so obvious and so early, she might not have even noticed.
Lin Yuxin's mood suddenly improved. She was pregnant! Her and Li Xiaochen's baby! What should she do? She suddenly longed to see him, to tell him that he was going to be a father!
I wonder how he'll feel when he finds out? Happy, anxious, or expectant?
Lin Yuxin secretly touched her belly, thinking of Li Xiaochen, and a sweet smile appeared on her lips.
But it was interrupted by a roar the next second.
"ah!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong? Imperial Physician! Imperial Physician! Miss Lin, Miss Lin, come quickly and see His Majesty!!"
First came Qiu Qiyi's roar, followed by Physician Kong's panicked shouts.
Lin Yuxin: ...?
Physician Kong, aren't you a physician? Why are you looking for another physician? Did you get into the Imperial Hospital through connections?
Lin Yuxin composed herself and strode inside, where she saw Qiu Qiyi, his body flushed and his eyes tightly closed, as if he were in great pain.
What did you feed him?
Lin Yuxin pointed at Qiu Qiyi's expression in surprise and asked Physician Kong!
"Your Majesty, I fed the medicine that Miss Lin had prepared, and he became like this shortly after drinking it! Miss Lin, you prescribed the medicine, and the Emperor became like this after drinking it. Lin Yuxin, there is something wrong with the prescription you gave him. Are you trying to kill the Emperor!"
In a panic, Physician Kong explained what he had just done, and then, as if remembering something, pointed directly at Lin Yuxin and accused her of plotting against the Emperor!
Lin Yuxin rolled her eyes. What an idiot! She ignored the wary and hostile looks the eunuchs around her had heard about her words.
"Did I say that the medicine was to be taken now? You still fed it to me!"
Lin Yuxin spoke coldly!
"Didn't you just point inside and tell me to come in and give you the medicine?"
Now it was Physician Kong's turn to be bewildered! He asked dumbly.
"I just said the Emperor is taking a bath and asked you to wait a moment!"
Lin Yuxin, her face expressionless, looked at Physician Kong, whose face was gradually turning pale, and said...
You still want to blame me? That's really something!
"Cough cough...shut up...heal me!"
Qiu Qiyi's face flushed red and he let out a low shout. He felt as if he were being bitten by ants all over his body, just like before. His whole body was also throbbing with pain, and he felt like he was about to die.
These two good-for-nothings are still shirking their responsibilities. Once I recover, I will make sure their heads roll!
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I... I am powerless to help!"
Physician Kong was reprimanded and buried his head in the ground in fear, cold sweat pouring down his forehead. He had just taken the emperor's pulse and concluded that the pulse was disordered, but he was too inexperienced to find the cause of the illness.
Since he couldn't find the symptom, he couldn't prescribe any medicine.
"Useless trash!...You...you come here!"
Qiu Qiyi felt a pain in his heart. How could his men be so useless? So he could only look at Lin Yuxin and order her to come.
"Your Majesty, let me make this clear: I didn't cause your current condition! Once I've healed you, you can't bring up past grievances!"
Lin Yuxin walked forward slowly, giving a heads-up beforehand.
"Hurry and treat him! Ah! Pfft!"
Qiu Qiyi gritted his teeth and uttered two words, then cried out in pain and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"emperor!!"
Physician Kong watched this scene in horror, and the personal eunuch serving beside him also cried out in panic.
"Shut up! Don't disturb my treatment!"
Lin Yuxin frowned and shouted in a low voice, "If you shout again, you'll be deafened."
Those around her quickly shut their mouths, not daring to utter another word, and stared intently at Lin Yuxin, signaling her to treat him quickly, or the Emperor would be gone.
Lin Yuxin rolled her eyes, stepped forward to take Qiu Qiyi's pulse, raised an eyebrow, and then took out silver needles and quickly inserted two needles into Qiu Qiyi's body.
