"Hiss—"
She gasped.
Yi Shuihan looked down at her: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Qingyin removed the dzi bead and saw a bluish-purple patch underneath. She said irritably, "You still have the nerve to ask what happened? Isn't this all your doing?"
Yi Shuihan also saw it; it was indeed his masterpiece from the past few days.
A pang of guilt rose in his heart.
"Why don't we take the dzi bead off first, so it won't hurt you again?"
Even if he didn't say it, Xiao Qingyin wanted to do the same.
She reached behind her neck to untie the knot, but Yi Shuihan covered her hand with his, saying, "Let me do it."
She then withdrew her hand.
Yi Shuihan took off the dzi bead string, put it aside, and took a handkerchief to wipe her sweat.
After wiping, I couldn't help but put the handkerchief under my nose and take a sniff.
Xiao Qingyin was dumbfounded.
"What are you doing?"
"It smells really nice, so I wanted to take a sniff."
Xiao Qingyin: "..."
Although, it still feels a bit perverted.
She couldn't help but snatch the handkerchief and stuff it into the drawer under the car seat.
Just as she was about to warn the man, a sudden, intense pain shot through her head, and she fainted before she could even utter a sound.
Seeing her fall, Yi Shuihan swiftly caught her.
Upon discovering that her eyes were closed and her face was as pale as paper, his expression changed drastically.
He immediately lifted the curtain and carried the person out, using his light-footed skills to fly towards the Marquis's residence.
Upon reaching the rooftop of the Marquis's residence, he exclaimed, "Quickly, summon the imperial physician!"
Because Yi Shuihan did not live in the palace, the imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Academy could only provide door-to-door service, taking turns to be on duty at the Yong'an Marquis's residence.
Today's doctor on duty is the Imperial Physician, who is arguably the best physician in Da Xi besides Xiao Qingyin.
After examining Xiao Qingyin, he said to Yi Shuihan, "Your Majesty seems a little weak. Perhaps you were frightened or went to a place that was not very clean."
"Unclean" is a euphemism, referring to places like crime scenes, morgues, and mass graves.
Yi Shuihan frowned.
Although Fu Junshi's kidnapping was somewhat unexpected, it shouldn't have been a shock to her, and she wouldn't have fainted because of it.
But this was the biggest thing that happened to her today.
If it's not this, then could it be...?
The thought of her startled expression when he sucked on the handkerchief sent a chill down his spine.
How could such a small thing scare her to the point of fainting?
Could it be that there's something she's hiding from him?
His heart was suddenly filled with unease.
When will she wake up?
The imperial physician replied, "I will prescribe a calming soup for Her Majesty. After she drinks it and takes a nap, she should wake up."
Yi Shuihan's eyes darkened.
After the imperial physician left, he sat down by the bed, holding Xiao Qingyin's hand, his heart filled with worry.
Since recovering from the epidemic in Bei'an City, he had never seen her so weak.
She was all smiles when she left home this morning, but now she's lying unconscious.
The body seemed to have lost its soul, devoid of any vitality.
If it weren't for the fact that her pulse was still beating, one would almost think she was already...
Yi Shuihan's heart tightened.
He unconsciously tightened his grip on her soft hand.
No, she's so young and healthy, she's not injured at all, she won't suddenly leave him.
It's probably just that I've been too tired these past few days, and today I was also upset about Fu Junshi's matter, which is why I fell into a coma.
All I need to do is sleep it off.
He will never be so greedy again.
After the calming soup was ready, he personally fed it to Xiao Qingyin, and then stayed with her until she fell asleep.
I hope that when I open my eyes, I will see her full of energy again.
But he woke up after only two hours of sleep.
The person in my arms remained motionless.
He didn't turn on the light, and just quietly watched her in the darkness.
She lay motionless until dawn broke and the morning birds began to sing.
His heart sank.
After examining her, the imperial physician looked puzzled. "That shouldn't be the case. She's slept all night; she should have recovered by now."
Yi Shui's voice was as cold as ice: "Are there any other methods?"
"How about I try acupuncture?"
"……good."
Acupuncture was also ineffective.
The imperial physician was at a loss.
Yi Shuihan's face grew increasingly gloomy.
When Yi Wu found out, he remembered Yun Shu's situation and suggested, "Why don't we let that little white bird try? It was the bird that woke Yun Shu up before."
Although he has not recovered yet.
Yi Shuihan nodded: "Go and bring that bird over."
"Alright, I'll go right away."
Yi Wu quickly brought the little white bird over.
The little white bird is now as big as a baby hen.
Upon seeing Xiao Qingyin, it immediately began to sing.
Yi Shuihan stared intently at Xiao Qingyin's face and noticed that she frowned slightly and her eyelids trembled as if she was about to open them.
But she didn't open her eyes until the little white bird finished singing.
Yi Shuihan glanced at the little white bird: "Continue."
The little white bird stared at him with its black bean eyes.
It's exhausted!
Yi Wu, understanding the bird's intentions, immediately placed a small jar of opened white magic beans in front of it.
The little white bird chirped, ate a bean, and then began its second round of singing.
Just like the previous round, Xiao Qingyin reacted, but did not wake up.
It's like the intensity of the music isn't enough.
Yi Shuihan thought for a moment and then instructed Yi Wu, "Bring the other bird over as well."
So the little red bird was also brought over.
It has grown quite a bit in recent days, but it is still much slimmer than the little white bird.
As the two birds sang at the same time, Xiao Qingyin's eyes finally opened a crack.
