Chapter 333 How could this be?
Qin Zhaoyue lay quietly on the rosewood bed, with the brocade quilt covering her chest, and a crowd of people gathered around the bed.
Her breathing was even and steady, and she looked like she was in a deep sleep.
The third princess, Qin Zhaowan, frowned and turned her gaze towards her fourth sister and fifth brother.
"What's going on? How much did Xiaoliu drink?"
The fourth princess, Qin Zhaoshu, frowned, her eyes flickering with confusion as she shook her head and said:
"It had nothing to do with the alcohol. She didn't actually drink much."
Recalling the situation at that time, although the sixth sister acted slightly tipsy and her cheeks were flushed, she could clearly see that not much of the wine was actually consumed.
Golden wind and jade dew are not strong wines, but Xiaoliu... no matter whether she has concealed her shortcomings in the past, her reputation of reveling every night is not groundless.
Therefore, it is impossible to get drunk and pass out with just this little bit of alcohol.
Everyone looked solemn.
Because Qin Zhaoyue fainted without any warning, no matter how she was called, her eyelashes did not tremble at all, as if only a sleeping body was left.
Qin Zhaoshu unconsciously stroked the intricate embroidery on his cuffs with his fingertips and added,
"What we eat and what we use are exactly the same, with only one difference. She once spent a moment alone downstairs with Yan Zhibai."
"Who is Yan Zhibai?"
"That handsome young man in the North Wind Envoy, a descendant of a famous scholar."
Qin Zhaowan:......
She raised her hand and pressed her throbbing forehead. Why wasn't she surprised at all?
The two sisters looked at each other, confusion and solemnity reflected in each other's eyes.
In any case, when several royal heirs go out together, there must be masters of the Xuanji Guard secretly protecting them.
Could Yan Zhibai have harmed Xiaoliu without anyone noticing, right under the noses of Xuanji Guard?
The two of them had the same idea and both felt that this speculation was a bit ridiculous.
Qin Zhaowan took a deep breath, glanced at the brothers and sisters present, and said in a solemn voice:
"Don't let any word of this leak out."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Xiaoqi and Xiaoba huddled together tightly, their two tender faces full of worry, their little hands unconsciously clasped together.
Xiaojiu clung to the edge of the bed tightly, her big eyes filled with tears, her little mouth pursed, trying hard not to cry, just staring at her sixth sister who was sleeping on the bed.
"Fifth brother," Qin Zhaowan looked at Qin Jingzhan, "send someone to the Imperial Hospital immediately and tell them that I caught a cold last night and have a headache and feel unwell. Please ask Director Liao to come quickly."
"Okay! I'll go right away."
Qin Jingzhan didn't dare to delay, turned around and left in a hurry, his clothes bringing up a gust of wind.
Qin Zhaowan turned to the three younger ones and softened his voice, "Little Seven, Little Eight, Little Nine, it's getting late. Would you please go back and rest first?"
"No!" Xiaojiu refused immediately, her voice tinged with tears, her hands tightly grasping the bedpost. "I want to watch over Sixth Sister! I promise to be good and not make any noise or noise."
Xiaoqi and Xiaoba also nodded vigorously, their eyes firm, silently expressing the same persistence.
After hearing this, Qin Zhaowan did not insist any further.
Soon, Liao Qingyuan, the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau, came hurriedly.
This old dean with white hair and beard has been keeping a very low profile these days.
Although he is old, he is still diligent, and medical books are always on his desk. He truly lives and learns.
There was no other way. Even after such a big mistake, he still diagnosed the Sixth Princess as pregnant.
The head is still staring at your neck, which is already a great favor from the emperor.
As soon as he stepped in, Liao Qingyuan felt an invisible pressure coming towards him.
The room was filled with precious royal heirs gathered together, all eyes fixed on him.
Alarm bells rang in his heart, and he quickly bowed and saluted, making up his mind to be extremely cautious!
But after reviewing for a few days, he became confident again.
A minor headache caused by the wind is absolutely fine.
"Mr. Liao, there's no need to be so polite." The third princess raised her hand to support him.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Liao Qingyuan stood up and looked at the Third Princess respectfully. "Your Highness, please allow me to take your pulse."
"Follow me." The third princess turned around and led Liao Yuanzheng into the bedroom.
Liao Qingyuan understood that the emperor's pulse diagnosis had always been a palace secret, and it was common to avoid being examined by others.
However, he soon discovered something was wrong.
Except for the third princess, the other royal heirs also followed in silently.
What…what’s going on? Suspicions welled up in my mind.
When Liao Qingyuan entered the inner hall, he saw the Sixth Princess Qin Zhaoyue lying on the bed, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
The glimmer of confidence just now quietly shattered a small corner.
Qin Zhaowan said in a grave voice, "Director Liao, Zhaoyue has suddenly fallen into a coma and won't wake up no matter how hard we try to call her. Please make sure you take a close look at her."
Liao Qingyuan:!!!
The Sixth Princess again!
He swallowed subconsciously, his Adam's apple rolling, and said calmly, "Yes, I obey your command."
She sat down on the embroidered cushion beside the bed, stretched out three fingers, and carefully placed them on Qin Zhaoyue's wrist pulse.
As soon as his fingertips touched the warm skin, his hand trembled slightly uncontrollably. He immediately calmed his mind and concentrated his breath.
Use your fingers to exert force and carefully feel the beating between the inches and feet.
After examining the left hand, switch to the right hand; after examining the right hand, switch back to the left hand...
A cup of tea passed quietly. He changed hands several times, but fine cold sweat gradually appeared on his forehead and slid down along the wrinkles.
What's going on?
The pulse is steady and strong, the rhythm is even, the qi and blood are full, and the five internal organs are in harmony. This...
This is clearly a very healthy pulse, how could he fall into a coma?
He can't find out!
No matter how much they investigated, they could not find any reason for the coma.
The cold sweat accumulated more and more, and the body began to tremble uncontrollably, as if it was in an ice cellar.
The other royal heirs in the hall all noticed his abnormality.
The third princess's brows were twisted into a knot, and the fourth princess's hands were clenched quietly in her sleeves, her knuckles turning white.
Everyone's expression was solemn, and the three children's faces were tense.
"Mr. Liao." The third princess finally couldn't help but speak.
Liao Qingyuan's body trembled violently, like a frightened bird.
"But... what's the problem?" Qin Zhaowan asked, his voice was not loud, but it was heavy as a thousand pounds.
Liao Qingyuan withdrew his hand tremblingly, as if he had used up all his strength.
He fell to his knees with a thud, and his forehead hit the cold and smooth gold brick heavily.
"I am an incompetent old minister, please forgive me, Your Highness!
"The Sixth Princess's pulse... I can't find anything wrong with it, and I don't know why she's in a coma."
As soon as these words were spoken, the bedroom fell into a deathly silence.
The air seemed to solidify into a heavy block of lead, weighing heavily on everyone's heart, making even breathing difficult.
The flickering light of the candlelight flickered on everyone's faces, reflecting an expression of incredible panic.
Xiaojiu was completely stunned. She walked to the bedside in a daze, stretched out her little hand and carefully touched Qin Zhaoyue's warm cheek.
Sixth sister clearly just seemed to be asleep, so how come I couldn’t wake her up?
He was clearly being annoying just now, and still saying those weird things...
Tears rolled down silently like beads that had broken off the string.
"Impossible... How could this happen..." She murmured, her voice as thin as a mosquito, but full of helplessness.
The fourth princess clenched her hands tighter in her sleeves, her nails almost digging into her palms.
The fifth prince opened his mouth, but no sound came out, and his face was full of confusion.
The third princess Qin Zhaowan frowned, her eyes as sharp as knives, staring at Liao Yuanzheng who was kneeling on the ground. The air pressure in the hall dropped to freezing point.
On the other side, Qin Zhaoyue was holding her hands in her pockets, looking around vigilantly.
Is this... a cave?
