The night enveloped Jingyixuan.
A scream came from Room 13 of Nanyuan, waking up a group of people.
The first person to be woken up was the little eunuch who was dozing off against the wall outside.
The young eunuch staggered and muttered impatiently, "Why are you arguing? If you continue to argue, I'll let Aunt Zhao deal with you."
He rubbed his sleepy eyes, stood up, and pushed open the slightly old wooden door.
As the wooden door creaked, a cool breeze mixed with a slightly damp smell blew in his face, and the little eunuch couldn't help but shiver.
Room 13 is really cold.
The young eunuch lit a candle on the side.
He looked into the room and saw a muffled sound coming from the wooden platform on the left, followed by a figure rolling down from the platform.
Zhu Hanfei's long black hair was scattered.
When she fell on the bed, she didn't control the angle well and her forehead accidentally hit the ground, instantly leaving a large red area.
In the eyes of the young eunuch, her lips were purple, she was gasping for breath, and it looked like she was about to die.
Ruan Yue, who had screamed, had trembling hands. He stood there blankly, his words unclear.
"How could it be so serious..."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it... Don't come to me for revenge... I was wrong... I was wrong..."
The young eunuch was immediately frightened awake by seeing such a big man struggling on the ground.
He could ignore the people in Room 13, say something sarcastic to Ruan Yue, or serve them cold meals.
But if someone inside encounters misfortune, you will be the one who suffers.
"Miss Ruan, why are you still standing there? Come and help Miss Zhu out."
The young eunuch urged anxiously, but Ruan Yue seemed to be frozen, with empty eyes and no reaction at all.
There's no time to waste with her.
The young eunuch rolled his eyes.
He asked the eunuch on duty in Room 12 next door to go and inform Aunt Zhao, then he turned back, bent down, picked up the man on his back, and hurried towards the gate.
House No. 13 was located in a remote area. By the time the young eunuch finally carried the person to the steps at the door, he was already sweating and panting.
However, Zhu Hanfei on his back looked like she had just come out of an ice cellar, cold all over and motionless.
It’s over, it’s over. What’s wrong with this girl? Is she suffering from some terminal illness?
The young eunuch wanted to cry but had no tears.
He gritted his teeth, took another deep breath, and forced his tired body to move forward.
"Who is wandering here so late at night? Don't you know the palace's curfew rules?"
A loud shout was heard.
The flames of the torches flickered, illuminating everything around them.
The young eunuch seemed to have seen reinforcements.
He knelt down hurriedly and pleaded in a trembling voice: "Commander Zhu, you came just in time! This girl suddenly fell ill, and I am too weak to carry her."
"Please have mercy and save her!"
The light source approached, illuminating Zhu Hanfei's snow-white face.
The guards all breathed a sigh of relief.
Isn’t this the girl who was in front of Shenwu Gate this afternoon!
She is Commander Zhu’s sister!
I haven't seen her for a few hours. What happened to her? !
As expected, Zhu Hanxin was shocked. He immediately picked up the person and rushed towards the Imperial Hospital.
The young eunuch ran after him breathlessly, shouting, "Commander, please slow down. This girl is this year's concubine. It's not appropriate for you to hold her like this... Wait for me, your servant..."
There was no way he could catch up with Zhu Hanxin’s speed, and he disappeared in a moment.
A guard comforted him: "Don't panic, this girl is Commander Zhu's biological sister, the Commander will definitely not let anything happen to her."
After hearing this, the young eunuch breathed a sigh of relief and wiped his sweat.
…
The inner room of the Imperial Hospital.
Zhu Hanfei woke up from a nightmare with cold sweat on her forehead.
The air was filled with a strong medicinal aroma, and a charcoal fire was burning in the corner, making it much warmer than Room 13.
Outside the curtain, an elderly imperial physician was whispering something to his apprentice.
Zhu Hanfei's ears were ringing in waves, and she could only barely catch the names of the medicinal herbs "Fritillaria", "Bletilla striata" and "Angelica dahurica".
She tilted her head hard, trying to see the surrounding scene clearly.
Beside the bed, Zhu Hanxin's face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm.
Taking advantage of the gap between the imperial physician and the apprentice's conversation, he lowered his voice and cursed: "I asked you to meet me at Chou time, not at the Imperial Hospital."
"How can you be so careless about your body?"
Zhu Hanxin said sadly, "If you can't find a chance to go out, you can't commit suicide by taking poison. You know I will wait for you."
Zhu Hanxin thought she was committing suicide by taking poison?
Zhu Hanfei pulled the corners of her mouth and laughed: "You are wrong about me. I took a detoxification pill at night."
Zhu Hanxin was stunned: "What's going on?"
Zhu Hanfei looked up at the ceiling.
She said softly, "My roommate knew I was allergic to dried shrimps, so she deliberately mixed dried shrimps into my bowl when I was away. She didn't know any medical skills, didn't know the right amount, and almost killed me."
After hearing this, Zhu Hanxin became even more worried.
He deliberately suppressed his emotions and advised: "Then you should take this opportunity to claim illness and leave the palace."
"It's only the first day and you've been sent to the Imperial Hospital. How long do you think you can last?"
"If I hadn't rescued you in time today, I'm afraid you wouldn't even be able to get past Nanny Chen!"
"You'd better leave as soon as possible before your identity is completely exposed!"
Zhu Hanfei asked back: "What identity do you want to reveal? Brother, what are you talking about? I am your biological sister Hanfei."
She tried to get up from the bed, but her expression changed.
It’s not good. This time I’m really sick.
Zhu Hanfei coughed briefly.
Then, a familiar pain pierced her limbs like a sharp knife, as if it would tear her apart.
The taste of blood foam spread on the tip of the tongue, bitter and fishy.
Zhu Hanfei clenched her fists tightly, leaving a bloody mark on her palm.
"...A Fei?...Can you hear me?"
"Imperial Physician! Imperial Physician! Come in quickly, something happened to my sister!" Zhu Hanxin shouted anxiously outside.
The imperial physician and apprentice outside the curtain rushed in immediately.
The woman on the bed twitched her body, and every muscle was tense.
The imperial physician was shocked and quickly put his hand on her wrist.
He frowned, but couldn't figure out what was going on.
"Master, what happened to this girl?" the apprentice asked nervously.
The imperial physician shook his head and replied in a deep voice: "How strange. Her pulse is very healthy, no different from that of an ordinary person, but this symptom..."
Zhu Hanxin had no knowledge of medicine, so he could only worry, "Sir, she is in so much pain, how can she be fine?"
The apprentice seemed to have thought of something and his eyes lit up.
He quickly went out and brought back a green triangular sachet.
The imperial physician sighed, "What are you doing with this thing? Go get a basin of hot water first... Huh?"
Oddly enough, when the apprentice placed the sachet on the tip of Zhu Hanfei's nose, the amplitude of her body shaking suddenly decreased a lot.
After about ten seconds, Zhu Hanfei didn't move at all and fell asleep.
Imperial Physician: “…”
What kind of miracle medicine is this?
The patient who was just in so much pain that he was convulsing, is healed just by sniffing it twice?
Even Ma Fei San is not so effective.
He whispered to the apprentice, "What do you have in there?"
The apprentice was as shocked as the imperial physician.
He murmured in reply, "They are just some wild grasses and flowers. It's just that this recipe was given to me by Lady Ji, so I tried to make one."
