"How do you dogs serve me like this!" Yinzhen's face darkened instantly, and he looked at the servants kneeling on the ground as if he wanted to chop them up with a knife.
“This servant deserves to die.” Everyone knelt down without arguing.
"My lord, it's my own fault for not being able to eat. It has nothing to do with them." Yin Qingyi said weakly. She was mainly hungry. She would vomit as soon as she ate. She had been exhausted these past few days. This child must have come to collect a debt.
"Why didn't you come and tell me? Did the physician see you?" Yinzhen squatted down, not even noticing that he had changed his self-address. Looking at the thin woman in front of him, his heart couldn't help but clench. She was perfectly fine when he came to see her a few days ago, how could she have lost so much weight in just a few days?
"It's no use talking about it. The imperial physician has come to see me and said it's just normal morning sickness, there's nothing that can be done, it will get better in a while, so Your Highness doesn't need to worry." Yin Qingyi had just finished vomiting, so she wasn't feeling too bad, otherwise she probably wouldn't even want to talk to Yinzhen.
"You've suffered so much. I never knew pregnancy could be so uncomfortable." Yinzhen hugged Yin Qingyi with heartache. This little woman, who was usually so soft and cuddly, was now a bit rough to hold.
"This child is naughty. If I beat him when he comes out, Your Highness won't feel bad." Yin Qingyi smiled faintly. She knew that her appearance was not good at the moment, but she was not afraid that Yinzhen would see her like this. If Yinzhen would dislike her because she had become ugly after getting pregnant, then she would never be attracted to such a dog of a man again. But if he didn't dislike her, she could still consider it. Of course, it was just a consideration.
It seems that Yinzhen doesn't mind her at all; in fact, he even feels sorry for her. This makes Yin Qingyi feel a little better. This scoundrel of a man still has some conscience.
"He deserves a beating. How dare he torment his mother like this. When he comes out, I'll beat him up with you." Yinzhen's voice was vicious. He couldn't bear to see this little woman suffer, yet his child made her suffer. Of course, he deserved a beating.
"Hehe, Master, this concubine is a little sleepy." Yin Qingyi yawned softly, her voice already slurred.
"Go to sleep if you're sleepy." Yinzhen gently patted Yin Qingyi's back. After a while, the person in his arms began to breathe heavily. Yinzhen picked her up, carried her to the inner room, gently laid her down, covered her with a blanket, and then came out.
The people who had just knelt on the ground have remained kneeling until now. Yin Qingyi did not notice because she was exhausted, but Yinzhen knew this and did not call them up, letting them continue to kneel.
"Do you know your mistake?" Yinzhen's voice was not loud, afraid of waking the little one who had just fallen asleep.
"Please punish me, Your Majesty," the person kneeling below said softly.
“If you weren’t people she was used to, I would have already had Su Peisheng sell you off. Why don’t you princesses come and tell me what’s going on? Mingyue and Fengqing, it’s fine if they don’t say anything, but why haven’t either of you come and tell me?” Yinzhen’s eyes were icy cold, especially his gaze towards Mingyue and Fengqing, which was like a blade of ice.
"My lord, let this old servant speak." Granny Naqi, also kneeling on the ground, sighed inwardly, lamenting her inability to care for the princess. She had tried every possible way to alleviate morning sickness, but with little success; the princess remained in such distress every day.
"Granny, please rise and answer." Yinzhen looked at Granny Qi, ultimately showing some consideration for her.
"Thank you, Master. Since the day she ate hotpot with you, the princess's appetite improved for two or three days. However, after that, her appetite decreased, and she vomits everything she eats. This old servant went to fetch the royal physician, but he couldn't do anything, saying it was just normal morning sickness. This old servant has tried many methods, but none have worked for the princess. I originally wanted to go to see you, Master, but the princess said that it would be useless to bring you here, only causing you worry. She was afraid you would neglect your duties, so she kept telling me not to come. This old servant thought that was true; your coming wouldn't help, and would only cause you more worry. I thought it would pass after a while, but who would have thought that the princess would get worse day by day? She's become so thin in the past two weeks, it breaks this old servant's heart. If Master hadn't come today, this old servant would have gone to see you anyway. The royal physician is definitely not as good as the imperial physician." The old woman's voice was low, but every word was clear.
"What the nanny says is true. I will go and fetch the imperial physician right away." Yinzhen's eyes lit up immediately after hearing the last sentence. Yes, he had forgotten about the imperial physician. No matter how skilled the family physician was, he was still not as good as the imperial physician.
Yinzhen didn't even wait for Granny Qi to say anything more before he was swept away like a gust of wind.
"Get up, all of you." Granny Naqi looked at Yinzhen, who was walking away in a hurry, and said softly to the group of people still kneeling on the ground, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Granny, can the imperial physician really cure the princess?" Qiuju asked softly as she stood up.
"I don't know either, but we should at least give it a try." Granny Naqi shook her head; she really couldn't guarantee anything.
While everyone at Luoxuexuan was feeling down, Yinzhen rushed into the palace and arrived at the Imperial Hospital.
"Does Your Highness come to get some medicine?" A young imperial physician stood up and bowed to Yinzhen.
"Are there any imperial physicians who are skilled in treating morning sickness?" Yinzhen asked urgently.
"Yes, but Imperial Physician Zhang is currently examining the ladies of the inner palace. If Your Highness is in a hurry, Imperial Physician Li is also very experienced in this area," the young imperial physician said gently.
"Where is Physician Li?" Yinzhen looked around but couldn't tell which one was Physician Li.
"It's important to me." The young imperial physician smiled gently, and it would have been even better if his words hadn't sounded like he was unafraid of death.
"You come with me." Yinzhen rarely encountered such a person, but he had actually met one today. If it were any other time, Yinzhen would have made this person taste the bitterness of not being afraid of death, but he was in a hurry at the moment, so he decided to let this person go.
"Your Highness, please wait a moment. Allow me to prepare some things. Also, does Your Highness know the specifics of the situation? Could you tell me? That way, I can make the necessary preparations." Imperial Physician Li stopped Yinzhen from leaving, his voice still unhurried and unconcerned.
"..." After patiently explaining Yin Qingyi's condition to Physician Li, Yinzhen's handsome face darkened. Was this Physician Li really capable? Why did he seem so unreliable? If he could find someone else, Yinzhen really wouldn't want to consult this Physician Li.
"Yes, Your Highness, please wait a moment while I grab some things and we'll go together." After listening quietly, Physician Li already understood the situation. He turned around, grabbed some medicine from the medicine cabinet, and put it into his personal medicine box.
