"Granny, please come in." Yin Qingyi's voice was choked with sobs.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with her health? Physician Li, is there something wrong with my mistress's health?" Granny Naqi asked with concern as she entered and saw Yin Qingyi's red eyes.
“The concubine’s body is too weak. After all, she is pregnant with her third child. Others may be weak even when they are pregnant with their first child, let alone the concubine. Moreover, she was drugged after giving birth, which has damaged her health.” Yin Hengyi said with a bad expression.
"Then, what should we do? Will I be unable to have children in the future?" Granny Qi's voice trembled. The most important thing for a woman in the inner palace is to be able to have children. If she cannot have children, then she is no different from the women in the cold palace. After all, what man would come to a woman who cannot have children?
"It's not that serious. She just needs to recuperate for a while, and it's best not to have any more children for the next two or three years. Otherwise, it will damage the concubine's health, and then there will really be no way to help her." Yin Hengyi looked at Granny Naqi and couldn't help but smile. Granny Naqi was really a good helper. She didn't know anything but she could still help her younger sister.
Originally, his and Yin Qingyi's plan was simply for him to treat her body for a period of time, and during this time, all the prescribed medication would be replaced with birth control pills. These birth control pills required several doses to be effective, ensuring that Yin Qingyi would not get pregnant for a year without harming her body. However, now that Granny Qi had pulled this stunt, he decided to exaggerate the situation.
That way, he can visit his sister from time to time under the pretext of seeing a doctor.
Sigh... It's still inconvenient. If only Yinzhen could become emperor sooner, then he could visit his sister every seven days during her pulse check. Instead of the current situation where he can't see his sister unless Yinzhen visits him. It seems we need to accelerate the competition between Kangxi and these princes.
"Then this old servant will thank Physician Li in advance. My master's health will be entrusted to you for treatment. I believe my master agrees to this." Granny Qi hurriedly spoke up. She admired Physician Li's medical skills and believed that her master would recover quickly under his care.
"Yes, this matter still needs to be known to His Highness. If His Highness agrees, I will certainly take care of the Consort's treatment," Yin Hengyi said, feigning concern.
"Alright, alright, then Physician Li must quickly tell the master that my master is counting on you." Granny Qi knew that Physician Li was right. Although she felt that the master would definitely agree, what if he didn't? She didn't dare to make a judgment on behalf of the master.
"Well then, I'll go back to the front courtyard and speak with the Prince. If the Prince agrees, I'll come tomorrow to prescribe medicine for the Consort." Yin Hengyi rose and took his leave.
"Physician Li, take care." Yin Qingyi looked at Yin Hengyi who was about to leave, feeling reluctant to part with him. They hadn't seen each other for a month, and now they had to leave again after such a short time.
Yin Hengyi cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to Yin Qingyi, then turned and left.
"My lord, there's no need to be sad. Physician Li said it's not a serious illness; he just needs proper care." Granny Naqi looked at her lord, who had been depressed ever since Physician Li left, and stepped forward to comfort her with heartache.
"Yes, Granny, I know, but I'm still feeling a bit down." Yin Qingyi didn't care that Granny Qi misunderstood; in fact, it was better that way. That way, even if she seemed sad, Granny Qi wouldn't find it strange or overthink it.
Granny Qi simply patted Yin Qingyi's hand without saying a word. Anyone would feel bad in this situation, and she really couldn't say anything to comfort her.
forecourt
Yin Hengyi scanned the crowd and finally found Yinzhen in a group of people. At this moment, Yinzhen was being pulled to drink by Prince Zhi, with the third prince, Yinzhi, the thirteenth prince, and the fourteenth prince by his side.
Yin Hengyi wasn't in a hurry to go up and speak. He simply went to a corner and quietly drank tea and ate. Yinzhen was in a good mood right now, so why should he go up and spoil the mood? It wouldn't be too late to speak after everyone had left.
The commotion lasted until the moon began to rise, and people in the courtyard started to leave in twos and threes.
After seeing off the Crown Prince and the Prince of Zhi, Yinzhen rubbed his eyes, his gaze slightly tipsy, and his steps unsteady. He stumbled towards the backyard, but then his eyes caught sight of Yin Hengyi in the corner, and he stopped in his tracks.
"Your Highness." Yin Hengyi slowly rose and bowed when he saw that Yinzhen had noticed him.
"Why are you still here?" Yinzhen frowned.
"Has Your Highness forgotten? At noon, you asked me to take the pulse of the Consort. I haven't even told Your Highness the results of the pulse diagnosis yet, so how could I dare to leave?" Yin Hengyi raised an eyebrow. This Yinzhen seems quite drunk. Will he remember what he said tomorrow? If he doesn't remember, then what was the point of him saying it? He then looked at Su Peisheng beside Yinzhen. Hmm, this one is still sober. So even if Yinzhen doesn't remember what he said tomorrow, Su Peisheng will remember to remind him.
"Hmm? How is Qingqing's health?" After thinking for a while, Yinzhen remembered and nodded before asking.
"The concubine is not feeling well." Yin Hengyi's smile faded, and his expression turned serious.
"What happened? Explain yourself." Yinzhen's slightly drunken mind was sobered up by Yin Hengyi's words, and he looked at Yin Hengyi with sharp eyes.
"The concubine's pregnancy was already quite arduous, and carrying triplets is naturally different from others, so the damage to her body would be even greater. After giving birth, she was given two kinds of poison. These things combined have already damaged her very foundation. If she doesn't take good care of herself, I'm afraid she won't be able to conceive again, and her health will continue to decline." Yin Hengyi deliberately exaggerated the situation, wanting Yinzhen to know how much suffering his sister had endured to bear his children! Don't think he didn't know; Yinzhen had already found out who had harmed his sister, but he hadn't acted yet. He knew Yinzhen had his concerns, but that didn't stop him from feeling resentful towards Yinzhen!
And if the Fujin can't be touched, then can't he touch Li Shi either? Or is it because of the child that he doesn't want to touch her? Or perhaps he still has feelings for Li Shi and can't bear to touch her! No matter what it is, Yin Hengyi will not accept it.
"Then...can you cure her?" Yinzhen truly hadn't expected that the little woman would be so fundamentally damaged by these things. The thought that she might leave him made his heart clench, and his face grew increasingly pale. He hadn't even realized that he cared more about Yin Qingyi's life or death than about her being unable to have children.
