He jumped out of bed again, his whole body as if he had been pulled out of the water.
The ice in the palace had just been replaced, and as soon as Chi Yuan lifted the curtains, a blast of cold air hit him.
"His Majesty!"
The sky was just beginning to lighten, and the moon was still high in the sky.
Wanfu had just finished his shift with his apprentice when he saw his emperor's haggard appearance.
His hair and neck were soaked, and his eyes, which were usually unbearable to look at, were now bloodshot with dark circles under them. His thin lips were pale and cracked.
With his swollen face, he looked like he was about to die.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you alright?"
"This servant will go and fetch the imperial physician."
Wanfu was terrified by his appearance and immediately ordered the palace servants to fetch the imperial physician.
"Hachi!"
As his feverish body came into contact with the cold air, the alternation between hot and cold caused Chi Yuan to sneeze.
"I'll go take a bath first."
At this moment, Chi Yuan's vision blurred, and he struggled to stand up while holding onto Wan Fu's arm.
Upon hearing this, the palace servants immediately began to work in an orderly manner, changing His Majesty's bed, finding his sleeping clothes, and preparing the hot spring.
Surrounded by rising steam, the powerful massage from the palace maids on his shoulders and neck finally made His Majesty more comfortable.
My tense nerves began to relax.
After washing his face with the hot water from the hot spring, Chi Yuan's thoughts were finally able to return to reality.
After changing into her nightgown, she came out of the inner room, where the imperial physician was already kneeling and waiting.
Wanfu tossed the whisk aside and helped Chi Yuan lie back down on the bed.
The imperial physician tactfully got up, picked up his medicine box, and came to the bedside. The palace servants placed a stool of suitable height for him behind him.
The imperial physician gently placed the handkerchief on Chi Yuan's wrist and carefully felt his pulse.
"how?"
Chi Yuan spoke in a deep voice, raising his eyes to glance at the imperial physician's expression.
"Your Majesty, after examining your pulse, I found it to be disordered and slightly weak."
"Judging from your tired complexion and dull eyes, it seems that you had a series of nightmares last night, which disturbed your mind and body, caused your blood and qi to flow in reverse, and made you absent-minded."
The imperial physician removed his hand from taking the pulse and opened his medicine box.
"In my opinion, performing acupuncture on you now to unblock your meridians and balance yin and yang will help dispel the disturbances brought by nightmares. I hope Your Majesty will grant my request."
"Stab it."
Chi Yuan exhaled and asked the imperial physician to administer acupuncture.
As long as I stop having those weird nightmares, anything is fine.
As silver needles were inserted into the acupoints corresponding to the emperor, Chi Yuan felt a sense of calm, whether it was psychological or not.
"Your Majesty is unwell and weak; you should rest well."
The imperial physician rotated his stiff wrist, took out ointment from his medicine box, and prepared to apply the ointment to Chi Yuan's face again during the pause in the silver needles.
After a while, once the medicine was applied and the silver needles were removed from Chi Yuan's arm, the imperial physician bowed and took his leave.
"Your Majesty, would you like to rest a little longer?"
Chi Yuan nodded.
His eyes were so sore and painful; every blink brought a stinging sensation. He covered his eyes with his hands to avoid seeing the light streaming in from the window.
Wanfu lowered the pillow behind him, let down the bed curtains, and quietly stood to the side.
Even breathing soon came from the dragon bed.
Those guys from the Imperial Medical Academy still have some tricks up their sleeves.
We should give him a good reward when he wakes up.
Midway through, he drowsily turned over and fell back into a deep sleep.
Chi Yuan slept very well that night, without having a single nightmare, and woke up naturally in the evening.
After washing up, I prepared to review the memorials that I had not yet finished revising.
"His Majesty."
Wanfu whispered in Chi Yuan's ear.
"The Buddha's disciple has arrived."
"Please come in quickly."
Chi Yuan seemed to see a glimmer of hope and impatiently tossed the memorial aside.
A person dressed in a black conical hat, completely covered up, stepped into the hall.
Wanfu tactfully dismissed all the palace servants and considerately closed the palace doors.
"Your Majesty, this humble monk greets you."
