Unable to utter a sound or move her body, Yin Qingyi closed her eyes in despair.
The board struck heavily, and Yin Qingyi kicked it off. The next moment, she sat up with a whoosh.
Before her eyes were blurry shadows, and there was a person sitting beside her. Her hand was on this person's hand, which startled Yin Qingyi so much that she immediately let go and retreated further inside. By the dim candlelight, Yin Qingyi could see clearly that the person by the bed was none other than Yinzhen, the one who had just coldly ordered her to be beaten to death.
Still gripped by fear, Yin Qingyi instinctively shrank further into the bed, her eyes filled with terror as she looked at Yinzhen.
"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" Yinzhen frowned slightly as he watched Yin Qingyi quickly move away from him, but when he saw her pale face and frightened eyes, he softened his voice and asked. At the same time, he stood up and tried to pull Yin Qingyi out.
"Don't come any closer!" Yin Qingyi looked at Yinzhen as he stood up, and couldn't help but think of the man who had just ordered her to be beaten to death. She realized that what she had just dreamed was a dream, but the feeling of reality made her feel suffocated. She couldn't bear to look at this man right now.
Yinzhen's outstretched hand froze, and his expression changed. He looked at Yin Qingyi quietly for a while, then withdrew his hand, straightened up, and walked out of the inner room without saying a word.
Yin Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief after she could no longer see Yinzhen. People get very tired once their tense nerves relax, and Yin Qingyi was no exception. Not only that, she was also sweating a lot. In no time, her clothes were soaked with sweat, and she felt dizzy. Yin Qingyi collapsed onto the bed, panting heavily.
"Master, why did Master leave in such a huff?" Granny Qi was originally waiting outside. She was happy that Yinzhen had come, since the master didn't seem very happy before going to bed. She should be happy to see the master when he woke up.
So why did they start arguing after waking up? And why did the master leave in a huff? Granny Qi was very puzzled and had to come in to find out what was going on. But as soon as she entered, Granny Qi was so shocked that she almost jumped up.
"Master! Master, what's wrong? Someone, go find the physician, quick!" Granny Naqi was so frightened by her master's pale face that she almost fainted and hurriedly shouted.
Luo Xue Xuan was immediately thrown into chaos. Some went to find the royal physician, while others lit lamps. An atmosphere of fear and unease immediately permeated the entire Luo Xue Xuan.
At this moment, Yin Qingyi had lost consciousness. Granny Qi was by the bedside, tears streaming down her face. What had happened? She was perfectly fine before going to sleep, so how could she be like this after waking up?
No sooner had Yinzhen stormed off from Luoxue Pavilion than news of the chaos and turmoil within the pavilion reached the ears of the other women in the inner courtyard.
Just as they were happily thinking that Consort Yin had offended Yinzhen and was about to fall out of favor, Yinzhen, who had only been back in the front courtyard for a quarter of an hour, hurriedly returned to Luoxue Pavilion. This made the women in the back courtyard grit their teeth. This Consort Yin was really something; she had just angered her master and made him leave in a huff, and the next thing she knew, she had him rushing back!
Yinzhen left in a very angry mood. After all, Yin Qingyi was the first person to treat him like this in his entire life. It would be strange if he wasn't angry. He even wondered if he had spoiled Yin Qingyi too much, which was why she was so unruly!
After returning to the front yard, he had already made up his mind to ignore Madam Yin for a while so that she would realize her mistake.
Just as he was thinking about these things, Mingyue arrived. His first reaction was that Madam Yin knew she was wrong, but he wasn't so easily appeased, so he chose not to see Mingyue.
"My lord, something terrible has happened to the concubine!" Mingyue shouted from the doorway when she realized she couldn't go in.
Su Peisheng, standing at the door, was startled. This Mingyue had some nerve! Not only did his master not believe it, but he didn't believe it either. His master had just been angered back by this concubine, and now he was already in bad shape? You know, the words "in bad shape" are used to describe someone who is about to die!
She was just angry with her master, and now he's going to die? Is this some kind of joke? Su Peisheng looked at Mingyue with a strange expression. Had Mingyue lost her mind? How could she dare to tell such a lie? Or did she think that now that she was a concubine, her master wouldn't touch her?
"Come in." Yinzhen didn't really believe it, but Mingyue was his person, he was sure of that, and Mingyue would never betray him, so why would Mingyue say such a thing?
“My lord, the concubine is really not well. After you left, Granny Qi went in and shouted for the physician. I went in to see her too. The concubine was already unconscious and her face was pale. It looked like she was…” Mingyue knelt down and quickly explained the situation after entering.
Then, Mingyue, who was kneeling on the ground, felt a gust of wind blow by, and there was no trace of Yinzhen in the room.
Su Peisheng, who had been listening nearby, lost sight of his master in the blink of an eye and immediately chased after him. However, he couldn't find Yinzhen anywhere either. Su Peisheng could only run towards Luoxue Pavilion, his mind racing with mixed feelings. This Consort Yin was truly formidable! In Su Peisheng's opinion, this was likely a scheme by Consort Yin. He simply couldn't believe that someone who could anger his master one moment could be so easily subdued the next; she must have used some underhanded methods!
Yinzhen arrived at Luoxue Pavilion like a gust of wind. The entire pavilion was brightly lit, and everyone looked uneasily toward the master bedroom. They didn't even notice Yinzhen's arrival until he passed by them. They immediately knelt down to pay their respects.
Yinzhen ignored these people. He had thought a lot on his way here. He was sure that this little woman was lying to him. Even Mingyue was fooled. She was really quite scheming. He had already decided that he would expose this little woman's true colors when he came to Luoxue Pavilion. However, as soon as he stepped into Luoxue Pavilion, all his thoughts disappeared and a sense of panic and fear rose in his heart.
Even his steps became somewhat unsteady as he walked towards the main room. When he reached the door, Yinzhen hesitated to open it, listening quietly to the sounds inside. However, it was completely silent.
Yinzhen pursed his lips, slowly raised his hand and pushed open the door. There was no one in the outer room. He then stepped into the inner room.
"The concubine is under a spell, and her condition is not good. If she doesn't wake up by this time tomorrow, I'm afraid... Alas, my skills are not good enough, so I can only rely on the concubine herself." The words of the imperial physician drifted into Yinzhen's ears.
