"If you can't cure Consort Yinzhen, I'll take your head!" Yinzhen said coldly as he entered the room.
As soon as he entered, Yinzhen saw the unconscious woman lying on the bed. She had been glaring at him when he left, so why was she lying there so quietly now? Her face had looked a little pale but normal when he left, so why had it turned bluish-white now? Her lips had been bright red when he left, so why were they now so pale?
"Greetings to Your Majesty." The people in the room knelt down immediately upon seeing Yinzhen suddenly appear.
"Your Majesty, the concubine's condition is extremely dangerous. If it were just a normal nightmare, I would be fine; a few doses of calming soup would suffice. But the concubine was caught in a nightmare, woke up, and then fell back into a deep sleep. She's likely trapped in a nightmare, and if she doesn't wake up on her own, she may never wake up again." What could the physician do? Even if Yinzhen were to take his head, there was nothing he could do. This wasn't due to external forces; what could he do?
"Then wake her up!" Yinzhen's thinking was simple: as long as she woke up, everything would be fine, so he would just wake her up.
"Absolutely not! You mustn't forcibly wake someone who's having a nightmare, or they'll either become mentally impaired or die." The imperial physician quickly stopped Yinzhen as he was about to step forward to wake him.
"This won't work, that won't work! What am I doing raising you? If you're so useless, then there's no need to keep you around!" Yinzhen looked at the physician blocking his way with icy eyes.
"Your Highness, saving Consort is the most important thing right now." Granny Naqi watched Yinzhen's state and knew he was contemplating murder, but how could she blame the physician? Although she was also anxious, she didn't want to watch the man she had watched grow up kill innocent people indiscriminately.
"Granny, why is Madam Yin acting like this? Wasn't the master perfectly fine when he left?" Only then did Yinzhen shift his gaze to Granny Qi, the coldness in his eyes gone, replaced by helplessness.
"This old servant also wants to ask Master why you are like this. I came in immediately after you left, and this is what I saw when I came in. You said that you were fine when you left, so why did you become like this in such a short time?" At this moment, Granny Qi was somewhat resentful towards Yinzhen. She felt that if it weren't for Yinzhen, her master wouldn't be like this. It must be that the master said something to her master when he left, which caused her master, who had just woken up from a nightmare, to fall into a nightmare again.
Yinzhen did not reply. He pursed his lips and thought about the conversation between the two of them after Yin Qingyi got up. He did not do anything, but Yin Qingyi seemed to be very afraid of him at the time. He did not think much about it at the time, but just thought that Yin Qingyi had a nightmare. So this little woman was already having a nightmare back then?
If he had been more careful back then, would this little woman still be lying here so quietly? Would she still be that little fox who could fawn over him and smile sweetly?
"Is there really no other way?" Yinzhen asked the imperial physician.
"This servant really can't think of a solution. Perhaps Your Highness could consult the imperial physician; maybe he can help," the physician said after a moment's thought, his face full of worry.
"Imperial Physician? Oh right, Physician Li didn't come today?" Yinzhen suddenly remembered that Physician Li had said he would come yesterday.
"He didn't come." Granny Naqi shook her head. She hadn't seen Physician Li today and was wondering if the master hadn't agreed. She was thinking about when to talk to the master about it, but now it seemed that the master had agreed, but Physician Li hadn't come.
"Su Peisheng, go to Physician Li's residence and invite him here," Yinzhen ordered without turning his head.
"Yes, this servant will go right away." Su Peisheng had arrived long before Yinzhen stopped at the door of the inner room, but he didn't say anything. He just stood quietly at the door, watching everything quietly. He finally confirmed that Consort Yin really had something to do with her, and it wasn't an act!
Yinzhen walked slowly to the bedside, and the nanny Qi, being very perceptive, got up and made way for him.
Yinzhen sat down by the bed and looked at the little woman he hadn't seen for only a few quarters of an hour. Her face was frighteningly pale, her lips were dry, and her hands were ice cold. If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of her chest, no one would doubt that she was dead.
"Go down, and let Physician Li in as soon as he arrives," Yinzhen said softly.
Apart from the physician, no one standing nearby really wanted to leave, but since their master had spoken, they had no choice but to leave.
"You, who usually seems so bold, how could you be scared by a dream? What did I do to you in your dream that made you so afraid? Haven't I been good enough to you? How could you have such a dream? Get up and tell me what you dreamed about, okay? I promise I won't treat you badly like in your dream." Yinzhen's hand gently stroked Yin Qingyi's face. It was icy cold to the touch, so Yinzhen placed both hands on Yin Qingyi's face, trying to warm it up in this way.
