The palace maid was startled by the sudden shout, her body trembled, and a look of shock appeared on her face. She looked at her blankly.
After all, their statuses were different, and these palace maids were not the maids who usually disciplined her. Once she really got angry, they would inevitably have some concerns and would not know what to do for a while.
In silence, control of her body returned to her. He Qing felt a layer of white sweat rising on her back. She felt as if she had lost all strength, her hands and feet limp. But she instinctively knew that she couldn't show her weakness in front of these people, so she forced herself to straighten her back and opened her mouth twice before she uttered, "Where's Yuping?"
Sadly, these people were all servants in her palace, but apart from the two Momos, she only recognized Yuping. The others looked familiar but she couldn't even call out their names. Therefore, at this time, she subconsciously looked for the one she was most familiar with.
"Sister Yuping has gone to invite the imperial physician for His Highness." said the palace maid.
"Call the doctor?" He Qing repeated subconsciously. Her mind was swirling with thoughts, and she couldn't process them all. She had no idea what time or situation she was in. To avoid making any mistakes, this was the safest option.
As expected, the maid replied, "Yes, Your Highness has been ill for a few days and hasn't gotten better. Sister Yuping said she wants to ask the imperial physician to come back and prescribe a new prescription."
He Qing vaguely remembered that this seemed to have happened.
Because of her situation, she had been a very worry-free person since she was a child, and she even dared not get sick. Therefore, in her short life, there were only a few times when she was too sick to get out of bed and had to consult a doctor.
The most recent time was when I was sixteen...
Because she had been ill for several days with no improvement, and the two maids in the palace had gone somewhere, Yuping had no choice but to go out and ask for the imperial physician herself, and then... then she brought back a piece of news.
He Qing's eyes suddenly widened, and he grabbed the maid's hand in panic, his voice so sharp that it almost broke, "How long has she been gone?!"
"It's only been two quarters of an hour." The maiden was a little confused, but still answered.
He Qing was startled, threw her hand away, and ran out. On the way out, he tripped over the threshold and nearly fell. He stumbled forward a few steps before he stood up awkwardly. But he didn't care about anything else and ran towards the palace gate with his skirt lifted.
Several palace maids were startled, and only came to their senses when she was about to approach the palace door. They hurried over to stop her from opening the door. Two of them blocked the door, and two held her arms to prevent her from moving. "What are you going to do, Your Highness?"
"I want to go out!" He Qing struggled to throw himself forward, and the two palace maids could hardly hold him back.
Someone quickly advised, "Your Highness, the two maids will be back soon. If they knew that Your Highness was making a fuss about going out, I'm afraid you would be punished again tonight. Please forgive us servants and go back to your room to rest first."
