Chapter 2037 [Shangxie]
The illness seemed to come on very suddenly to the people who were attending to it.
Because Xia Fuyi herself is usually cold and talkative, except when facing the emperor, she basically says less than ten words a whole day.
Everyone knew that the future queen had been having a quarrel with the emperor recently, so everyone was a little nervous these days. Xia Fuyi didn't say anything, and they didn't dare to go up to her and bring trouble upon themselves, so when Xia Fuyi suddenly fell to the ground, Fu Yan didn't even react.
After a while, she ran forward in horror. A burst of urgent shouting immediately attracted many palace servants, who hurriedly carried the person to the couch. At this time, many people discovered that Miss Xia's face was abnormally pale.
The palace maids immediately went to inform the imperial physician and the emperor.
Chang Sun Chi was still in the imperial study when he received the news. He was even a little dazed when he heard the palace servant report it. However, the next moment, the memorial in his hand fell on the table, and he quickly walked out of the imperial study.
Chang Sun Chi and the imperial physician arrived at the Zichen Palace at the same time.
Under the emperor's cold gaze, the imperial physician trembled as he examined Xia Fuyi's pulse. He then wiped his sweat off his forehead and replied,
"Your Majesty has caught a cold. I'll prescribe some medicine for her and she should be fine."
Chang Sun Chi did not let it go easily. He turned his head and looked at Xia Fuyi, who was pale on the couch. After a moment, he frowned slightly and said,
"She shouldn't be someone who catches a cold easily, especially since it's summer."
The doubt was clearly revealed in his words. The doctor swallowed and continued,
"Your Majesty, you may not know that it's not even midsummer yet, and the temperature difference between day and night is quite large. I've already seen quite a few patients with typhoid fever these past few days. Furthermore, your Majesty's physical condition isn't particularly good. Judging from her pulse, she must have been injured or poisoned not long ago, and her body hasn't fully recovered yet. Although she appears well on the outside, she's actually very susceptible to typhoid fever."
He must have been poisoned...
Zhang Sun Chi's eyes moved slightly, but his brows furrowed tighter and tighter as he listened to his words. The old doctor was terrified, fearing that he would be dragged out and beaten with a stick the next moment. The desire to survive made the old doctor continue to add,
"It's not a serious illness, though. I'll prescribe some medicine for Her Majesty and give her some recipes for medicinal foods to the Imperial Kitchen to nourish her body. She'll be well again soon. Besides, Her Majesty is a martial artist herself. Although her health has weakened, her foundation is still there. She should recover faster than an ordinary person."
After hearing these words, Changsun Chi finally relaxed his brows a little. The imperial physician also breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to write a prescription.
The emperor stood beside the couch for a while, then leaned over and picked up Xia Fuyi, and walked towards the bedroom. When he passed Fu Yan, who had been standing by the side with her head lowered, he gave an order without turning his head.
"Wait."
Fu Yan responded softly with a "yes".
After settling Xia Fuyi down, the emperor left the bedroom, sat down at the table, and asked calmly,
"What has she been doing these days while I've been in court?"
"Your Majesty, the Queen mostly reads novels in the Purple Palace and often takes walks nearby. Apart from that, she doesn't do anything else."
The emperor frowned slightly and said while thinking,
"What time do you go out for a walk?"
"After you go to court, or in the evening when you are in the imperial study."
“No wonder…”
Chang Sun Chi murmured, "I always go out when the temperature outside is the lowest." He sighed inaudibly, then finally glanced at Fu Yan leisurely and said lightly,
"If you go out at that time again, remember to bring her some clothes."
