What happened to her? She just tripped and fell at the door, how could it be so serious?
Wei Hanyu had just woken up, her head was a little foggy, and the first thing she realized was that something was strange about her; every part of her body felt strange.
Before she could react, a series of slightly chaotic footsteps came from outside the door.
It was a young palace maid who was temporarily in charge of taking care of her, and she was holding a bowl of herbal soup that was constantly emitting a strong, astringent smell.
"Sister Wei, you're finally awake."
The young palace maid was very excited. When she saw Wei Hanyu, who was lying on the bed, open her eyes, her first reaction was to turn around and run out to tell the others.
Wei Hanyu turned her head and watched helplessly as the little palace maid came in and ran away. The words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat, neither coming out nor leaving her mouth.
Wei Hanyu: ...There's no need to run so fast. I didn't mean for everyone to know that she woke up.
At this moment, Wei Hanyu was still thinking about how she had offended the Empress and that living in Changchun Palace, under her roof, she should keep a low profile.
"...Your health is the most important thing. There are no further instructions from the Empress for now."
"Miss Wei, please rest and recover here. If you need anything, please send someone to find me in the front yard."
Dong Han appeared before Wei Hanyu, said what he had to say, and then turned and left.
They truly came and went in a hurry.
However, Dong Han's impatience dispelled some of Wei Hanyu's doubts.
It seems that the unclear conversation I just overheard had nothing to do with her.
"Sister Wei, it's time for us to take our medicine," the little palace maid said, reaching out to carefully help Wei Hanyu up from the bed.
hiss
Wei Hanyu couldn't help but gasp, feeling pain all over her body.
He just fainted from kneeling. Could it be that he hit his face on the ground?
"Ying'er, my appearance hasn't been damaged, so how serious is the injury?"
Wei Hanyu was very concerned about her appearance, and her eyes were filled with eagerness.
The palace maid named Ying'er shook her head, "Sister Wei's appearance is fine."
"It's my lower abdomen that's injured, not my appearance," Ying'er silently added to herself.
Thinking of the large amount of blood that flowed from Wei Jie's body after she fell to the ground, Ying'er, who was not yet very knowledgeable, couldn't help but shudder.
Ugh
It's really frightening, especially since the Empress forbids them from saying anything more about it, with the threat of exile to the Ministry of Punishments for violating this rule.
Ying'er didn't want to go to the Department of Cautious Punishment; once you went in, you couldn't get out.
Ying'er, completely unaware of Wei Hanyu's condition, refused to mention that Wei Hanyu had fainted.
Fortunately, Wei Hanyu himself didn't care, or rather, Wei Hanyu himself didn't expect it.
I thought it was just a very ordinary fainting spell, except that the physical pain was a bit severe.
Wei Hanyu stayed in her room to recover from her injuries for several days and didn't go out even once.
Wei Hanyu was very worried about this. The emperor hadn't shown up for a long time, so what weight did she have left?
"Didn't Her Majesty say anything? My health has almost recovered, so I can go and pay my respects to Her Majesty now."
Although Wei Hanyu kept urging him verbally, his actions remained restricted.
Ying'er had no choice but to say that the Empress had been going to the Buddhist hall to chant sutras these past few days and had even skipped the concubines' greetings, so naturally she couldn't receive Wei Hanyu, who wasn't even a concubine.
Wei Hanyu: ...
What is the Empress up to now? She loves chanting scriptures and praying for blessings, but she doesn't seem to go to the temples much more often than usual.
Slightly resigned, Wei Hanyu took the herbal medicine from Ying'er and tasted it. She frowned and asked, "The taste has changed?" It wasn't as bitter as before, and it wasn't as difficult to swallow.
Ying'er nodded, "The imperial physician said that you are young and your body is recovering very well. The prescription has been changed, and after drinking it for a few more days, you will be able to go out and walk around easily."
It's really not easy; you had to hide the miscarriage and treat it as a normal injury.
To avoid arousing Wei Hanyu's suspicion, Ying'er told countless lies.
Fortunately, it's almost over, and I won't have to live in such fear anymore.
To be honest, Ying'er had never done anything like this before, and she was afraid that Wei Hanyu would notice if she did something wrong.
The journey went smoothly, and Ying'er was overjoyed at the thought of the hundred taels of silver she was about to receive. The Empress was very generous, and with this money, she no longer needed to worry about leaving the palace in the future.
"Finally I can go out and see the world, but this time I've been recuperating for way too long. People who don't know better would think I'm in postpartum confinement."
Wei Hanyu couldn't help but mutter something under her breath, completely unaware that her casual remark had froze Ying'er in shock.
Fortunately, Wei Hanyu's gaze was focused on the porcelain bowl in her hand, otherwise she would have noticed that something was wrong with Ying'er.
After finishing the herbal medicine, Wei Hanyu inevitably felt fatigued.
Seeing this, Ying'er quickly helped Wei Hanyu lie down to rest.
After finishing her chores, Ying'er wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, turned around, and went out with the empty bowl.
"Sakura"
"Aunt Winter Cold"
Suddenly, Dong Han appeared at the corner not far from Wei Hanyu's door.
"Once you've dealt with this, come over here. Her Majesty the Empress has something to say to you."
After saying this, Dong Han turned around and disappeared.
Seeing that Donghan had gone far away, Ying'er breathed a sigh of relief and returned the porcelain bowl in her hand to the small kitchen.
"Quickly, wrap up the dregs of the herbal medicine for me. If anyone asks, just say it's already been thrown away."
Ying'er took the brown paper handed to her by the little eunuch and whispered a word of advice.
The little eunuch nodded with a grin, "Don't worry, Sister Ying'er, I understand."
Ying'er thought for a moment, then simply took out some loose silver and stuffed it into the other person's hand, "Here, keep it for yourself to have some tea, consider it a reward for being obedient."
