The Fujin was swollen to more than twice her normal size, her clothes were torn, and her face was so swollen that her features were almost invisible. If the old nanny hadn't known that she had been guarding the room and hadn't gone anywhere else, she probably would have doubted whether this was the Fujin at all.
"Quickly, get me to the imperial physician!" the Fujin said to the old nanny who had come in. However, perhaps because her throat was swollen, her words were not clear at all.
"Madam, Madam, please don't panic. This old servant remembers that Physician Li said that this medicine would have some side effects, causing your body to swell a bit. He said that you don't need to take the medicine, and the swelling will subside in about three hours." The old nanny suddenly remembered what Physician Li had told her before he left, and quickly went over to support Madam and comfort her.
"Oh, I need a doctor! I need a doctor!" The princess was completely deaf to the old nanny's words. She felt like she was going crazy. She was relieved to wake up in this terrible state. It was only because she hadn't fainted again that she was mentally strong.
"Madam, Madam, this old servant can't hear what you want. Are you thirsty? Or hungry?" The old nanny was also anxious. What was Madam saying? She couldn't understand a single word.
"Ah!" The Fujin was so angry she wanted to curse. Not only was her whole body swollen, but she was also in pain, feeling like she was being pricked with needles. She was going crazy. This damned servant had no sense at all. But helplessly, the Fujin had no strength to hit or curse at the moment. She could only collapse and scream alone, unable to do anything.
The old nanny watched from the sidelines, unsure whether to help or not, and stood there awkwardly watching the princess wail.
Luoxuexuan
Looking at the way the main wife was acting, Yin Qingyi really had to give her brother a hundred thumbs up; he was just too mean. Hahaha, but it was so satisfying!
"Why is Your Highness so happy today?" Granny Qi looked at Yin Qingyi, who had been laughing for a quarter of an hour, and couldn't understand how she could laugh for so long while watching a play script. Her face must be stiff from laughing so much.
"Hmm? Oh, today's script is exceptionally interesting, so funny." Yin Qingyi's eyes were practically overflowing with laughter. How could she be so happy to see the Fujin in such pain? She really had become wicked, so incredibly wicked!
"...As long as Master is happy." Granny Naqi didn't understand, but as long as Master was happy, that was all that mattered.
Amidst the stark contrast between the Fujin's pain and Yin Qingyi's happiness, half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
"This is the last dose of medicine today. If the Princess Consort still doesn't improve, I am powerless to help." Yin Hengyi stood in Yinzhen's study, his face showing no sign of distress, and looked at Yinzhen very seriously as he spoke.
"Yes, you've had a hard time these past two weeks." Yinzhen nodded. It was impossible for Yinzhen to be completely unaware of what had happened in his wife's quarters, but he was already disappointed in her, even disgusted with her. Therefore, he chose to turn a blind eye to many things that were happening in her quarters. Now, whether his wife was truly insane or not made no difference to him. Besides, so much had happened in the court these past two weeks that he simply didn't have the energy to deal with what was going on in his wife's quarters.
"This is what I should do," Yin Hengyi said, cupping his hands in greeting.
"You go ahead, I won't go. I have other matters to attend to." Yinzhen didn't want to waste time chatting with this Vice Dean Li. He was very busy, so busy that he didn't even have time to visit the little fox at Luoxue Pavilion. This made Yinzhen's already bad mood even worse.
"Then this humble subject will go." Yin Hengyi bowed and withdrew.
Main courtyard
"Imperial Physician Li." The old nanny saw Yin Hengyi at the door and hurriedly bowed, her eyes filled with fear. She had witnessed all the torment that the Fujin had suffered over the past two weeks. This Imperial Physician Li was too terrifying, and she did not want to offend such a person at all.
"Okay, everyone step back a bit." Yin Hengyi was still quite gentle with those who posed no threat to him.
"Yes." The old nanny was initially puzzled by this approach, but she got used to it over the past two weeks. Perhaps Physician Li was afraid that his medical skills would be leaked.
Yin Hengyi pushed open the door. A medicinal smell immediately wafted into his nose. For the past two weeks, the Fujin had been forced to drink medicine, so it was normal for the room to smell of medicine. Yin Hengyi went straight in.
"It's been half a month, when exactly do you want me to stop taking medicine?" The princess's voice drifted over.
"Don't worry, Madam, this is the last dose of medicine. You won't need to drink it tomorrow." Yin Hengyi's voice was slightly cheerful. He had been looking at Ulanara for the past two weeks and felt terrible. He had wanted to kill her but couldn't, which was very frustrating.
"What exactly is this medicine for? Since today is the last day, could Physician Li please enlighten me?" The princess looked coldly at Yin Hengyi. For the past two weeks, she had been drinking bitter medicine every day, but from her observation, the medicine had no effect on her.
"After you finish drinking this medicine, Your Highness, I will tell you what its effects are," Yin Hengyi said, pointing to the bowl of medicine on the table. The princess had been worn down by this ordeal and, after being forced to drink the medicine for several days in a row, she obediently drank it herself for the rest of the time.
The princess stared intently at Yin Hengyi, then her gaze shifted to the medicine bowl on the table. After a moment's thought, she decided against knocking it over. She knew that even if she did, there would be two or three more bowls of the same medicine waiting for her. She reached out, picked up the bowl, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Can I speak now?" the princess asked, putting down her medicine bowl.
"Of course, this medicine is the one that will grant the Princess Consort's wish." Yin Hengyi looked at the clean bottom of the bowl, a smile appearing in his eyes. He had been busy for half a month. In fact, the previous medicines were just a smokescreen to prevent Yinzhen from becoming suspicious. But after half a month of preparation, the seed of suspicion in Yinzhen's heart should have disappeared. Now, this bowl is the main event!
"What do you mean?" The princess frowned. Her heart leaped into her throat. At this moment, she finally realized something was wrong. Why was her head feeling so foggy? This had never happened before when she took medicine.
“Ulanara, since you’re pretending to be crazy, I’ll naturally grant your wish,” Yin Hengyi whispered in Ulanara’s ear.
"How dare you! Guards... You, how dare you! Aren't you afraid of the master's wrath? Did Madam Yin order you to do this? What benefits did Madam Yin give you? I can give you the same, even more than she did." The Fujin realized what was happening and tried to call for help, but the drug took effect, and she collapsed back into her chair as soon as she stood up.
