Rong Qingqing nodded, "I understand." Although Xie Jingrun's tone was stern, she still felt a secret joy.
She did it on purpose.
Knowing full well that she was menstruating, she deliberately jumped into the lake to save Huayin.
Firstly, it was to prevent Xie Jingrun from developing sympathy for Huayin and allowing her to remain in the palace; secondly, it was also to test Xie Jingrun.
Her jump wasn't in vain; seeing herself completely soaked, Xie Jingrun indeed ignored Hua Yin entirely.
Hua Yin's plan failed, and she was ruthlessly driven out of the palace by Xie Jingrun.
Xie Jingrun looked at the smile she couldn't hide and felt somewhat helpless.
However, because of her outburst, he realized that he might have been too indecisive in dealing with Huayin, which made her unhappy.
She made up her mind to marry Huayin off far away.
"That's enough, get up." Xie Jingrun took a cloth from the side, wrapped her up, and lifted her out of the water.
"I'm fine now, you can go ahead and do your work, don't worry about me." Rong Qingqing knew he still had a lot of things to deal with, so she quickly said.
Xie Jingrun glanced at her, "It won't make a difference if it's just a little while longer."
Seeing him pick up the clean clothes beside him, Rong Qingqing hesitated for a moment, "You go out first, I'll dress myself..."
Seeing this, Xie Jingrun didn't insist. "Okay, get dressed and come out. Physician Lin is already here. Let him take your pulse."
Rong Qingqing felt he was making a mountain out of a molehill; she was perfectly fine and there was no need to call the imperial physician.
But she nodded anyway, "I understand."
After Xie Jingrun left, she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly put on her clothes one by one.
As soon as I stepped out of the clean room, I saw Xie Jingrun sitting on the couch, pointing to the bowl on the table, "Come here and drink the ginger soup."
Rong Qingqing did as she was told and went over.
Xie Jingrun pulled her to sit beside him, picked up the bowl, and was about to feed her.
Seeing Xiao Tao and Xing Chun laughing beside her, Rong Qingqing felt a little embarrassed and gave him a reproachful look, "I can drink it myself."
Xie Jingrun smiled and did not insist.
Just as Rong Qingqing finished drinking the ginger soup, Imperial Physician Lin entered and respectfully said, "This humble servant will examine Your Majesty's pulse."
"I'm fine..." Rong Qingqing glanced at Xie Jingrun. Why did they have to call the imperial physician?
"Good girl, let Physician Lin take your pulse." Xie Jingrun said, placing her hand on the table.
Rong Qingqing: "..."
This guy, doesn't he see there are other people around? His nonchalant tone is making her incredibly embarrassed.
As if he hadn't heard Xie Jingrun's words, Physician Lin stepped forward and took Rong Qingqing's pulse.
For a moment, the bedchamber was quiet.
After a moment, Physician Lin withdrew his hand, bowed his head respectfully, and said, "Your Majesty is in good health. However, you should still be careful when you have your period and avoid soaking in cold water, otherwise it may harm your body."
Rong Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief and said to Xie Jingrun, "See? I told you it would be fine."
Xie Jingrun pinched the tip of her nose. "Luckily, you're alright. If something had happened, it would have been too late to regret it."
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now," said Physician Lin.
"Um."
Feng Xin was outside the door when she saw Physician Lin come out. She grabbed him and asked, "Is my sister-in-law alright?"
"Princess, rest assured, Her Majesty the Empress is fine," Physician Lin said with a smile.
"That's good, that's good." Feng Xin breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the dress and shoes she was holding in her arms. Just as she was about to hand them over to the palace servants of Yu Xian Palace to take inside, she saw Xie Jingrun come out.
Upon seeing him for the first time, Feng Xin stammered, "Your Majesty, brother..."
