Seeing the person who arrived, Qing'er felt as if she had found her pillar of support, her voice trembling with tears, "Don't cry, don't cry, Qing'er."
The old lady squatted down, reached out a hand to wipe away Qing'er's tears, and comforted her. She turned her head to look at Chen Nian's hand, which had four injured fingers and was still bleeding. She wanted to touch it but dared not, her heart filled with worry. "Nian Nian."
This silly child, he could have easily dodged it. The Empress Dowager was both angry and heartbroken.
If it weren't for Chen Nian, she would have been the one hit by Consort Yu's attack, and she would have been the one seriously injured.
"Your Majesty, it's alright, don't worry."
Even though she was sweating profusely from the pain and her face was deathly pale, Chen Nian still managed a smile to comfort those who were worried about her.
Seeing that miserable smile, Ertai felt even more uncomfortable.
Feeling the tears dripping from his hand, Chen Nian struggled to raise his hand and wipe them away for Qing'er.
Before she could say anything to comfort her, a wave of dizziness washed over her, and she fainted.
"Nian Nian!"
"Nian Nian!"
Qing'er's exclamation drew everyone's attention.
"The imperial physician, where is the imperial physician?"
The empress disregarded her composure, looked at the person on the ground, and shouted, her anxiety clearly visible.
Seeing that things were not going well, Benjamin had already run to the Imperial Hospital to bring people back.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Physician is quite a distance from the Qianqing Palace, while the Cining Palace is the closest to the Imperial Hospital. Please allow me to take the Princess back to the Cining Palace."
Upon seeing the unconscious man, Ertai panicked and rushed to the Emperor to report the incident.
"Mmm, hurry, hurry, hurry—"
The situation was urgent, and the distinction between men and women was no longer a concern; the Emperor quickly agreed.
Upon receiving the Emperor's reply, she said, "Your Majesty, Qing'er, I will take the princess to Cining Palace."
Ertai turned around and quickly walked up to the Empress Dowager Qing'er, saying this.
"Okay, okay."
We can't worry about things like the conflict between men and women anymore; the most important thing right now is to keep thinking about it.
The treatment here was clearly inappropriate, but the women in the family couldn't even lift Niannian up.
Ertai's appearance was very timely.
"Ertai, watch out for Niannian's hands."
Qing'er gave her instructions.
"Um."
With their consent, Ertai didn't delay any longer. Avoiding Chen Nian's injured hand, he carefully picked her up and quickly ran towards Cining Palace. As for the injury on his own hand, it was completely ignored.
The others quickly followed, and as for Xiao Yanzi, no one cared about her anymore; everyone's attention was on Shen Nian.
Ertai rushed to Cining Palace and only breathed a sigh of relief after placing the person on the soft couch.
As he relaxed, the pain and fatigue in his hands came over him, and Ertai sat down next to the soft couch.
Looking at the person lying unconscious on the soft couch, pale-faced, with cold sweat beading on their forehead, furrowed brows, and their fair, delicate hands worn raw and trembling, worry filled her eyes.
I was just about to reach out and touch it...
Before she could finish saying "Greetings to the Empress Dowager, Greetings to the Emperor, Greetings to the Emperor..." she was interrupted.
"Stop saying auspicious things, Physician Hu, Physician Hu, hurry, hurry in and treat Princess Shen."
As soon as Physician Hu and his companions arrived at Cining Palace, they ran into the Emperor and his entourage who had rushed there.
Hearing the sound from outside the door, Ertai got up, walked to the side and made way for him.
"Quickly, Physician Hu, come and see Niannian."
Supported by Qing'er, the Empress Dowager walked through the crowd to the soft couch and refused the idea of Physician Hu to treat her first.
Physician Hu glanced at the Emperor with a troubled expression, "Treat Consort Shen first, and use the best medicine."
He understood his mother's thoughts; she wouldn't treat Niannian herself without first examining her.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After replying, Physician Hu squatted down and began to examine Chen Nian.
"hiss."
First, I treated the wound on Chen Nian's hand. The alcohol stung, and Chen Nian instinctively curled up in pain.
Hearing the man's cry of pain, Ertai's worry deepened, and he instinctively wanted to walk forward.
Erkang, seeing his younger brother lingering on the verge of leaving, his eyes filled with anxiety, clearly sensed something was wrong. He tugged at Ertai's clothes, "What do you want to do?"
Erkang's tugging brought Ertai back to his senses, and he clearly realized that something was wrong with him, so he couldn't help but raise his hand and pat his head.
What am I doing? There are so many people around. What kind of behavior would I be doing? Wouldn't that ruin my reputation?
However, the worry in his eyes did not lessen. He stood on tiptoe, tilted his head, and peered through the crowd to observe the situation inside.
"Princess Qing, could you please help me open Princess Chen's hands?"
Physician Hu turned around and called out to the anxious person standing to one side.
"Nian Nian, let's let go of each other's hands, okay?"
Qing'er squatted down, coaxing the unconscious person while carefully prying open Chen Nian's hand, regardless of whether he could hear her or not.
He would also blow on it from time to time, hoping to alleviate the pain of his meditation.
With Qing'er's help, Physician Hu was able to treat the patient much faster, and in the end, Shen Nian's hand was wrapped up like a "pig's trotter".
After all that fuss, Chen Nian was sweating profusely, his brows furrowing more and more tightly. The others watching from the sidelines were also getting anxious.
Before Physician Hu could treat Shen Nian's injuries, "Make way, make way, Physician Chang is here."
Benjamin arrived late, carrying Changshou.
"Your Majesty—"
"Don't worry about me, save lives is the priority."
The emperor waved his hand impatiently.
"Yes, yes, yes—"
Which one should we save first?
Benjamin had asked him to come see the old lady, but now, the one who was clearly more seriously injured was the girl lying in bed.
"Save Princess Chen on the bed, or which one? Can't you tell which one is more serious?"
The Emperor said irritably, "Didn't you see that Physician Hu was trying to save Niannian on the bed?"
Why is Changshou so idiotic when he asks questions?
"Okay, okay—"
"Then please leave first. With so many people staying here, the air won't circulate properly, which isn't good for the girl in bed."
You can tell if someone is good or bad just by the first move they make.
"Let's go, Your Majesty, let's go outside and wait. Let Physician Hu take a look at you."
The Emperor stood beside the Empress Dowager, talking to her.
"Um."
After hearing Chang Shou's words, everyone had no choice but to leave, leaving only Qing'er behind to help.
As Ertai left, he turned back and glanced one last time at the person lying on the soft couch.
They then left.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is fine. She's just a little frightened. I'll prescribe some calming medicine for her."
After taking the Empress Dowager's pulse, Physician Hu reported on her condition.
"Alright, Physician Hu, take a look at Ertai as well."
Upon learning that the Empress Dowager was alright, the Emperor breathed a slight sigh of relief, but he was still worried about Chen Nian lying inside.
Looking around, he noticed someone rubbing their hand from time to time and guessed that they were also injured. Thinking about Ertai's actions just now, he nodded in affirmation. He was a good child.
Because of his deep contemplation, Ertai, who was originally receiving treatment in the court, underwent a change in the drama and became one of the first patients to be treated.
