When Jiang Chengyan rushed over, Qianhua Palace was already in a flurry of activity.
Palace maids were coming and going in Yaofeng Palace.
Several imperial physicians arrived.
Jiang Chengyan grabbed a royal physician and hurriedly asked, "How is Yuan Xiaoyao?"
Upon seeing that the visitor was Jiang Chengyan, the imperial physician was about to kneel down: "Greetings, Your Majesty..."
"No need!" Jiang Chengyan lifted the person up: "No matter what method you use, you must cure Princess Yuanyao for me!"
The imperial physician wiped his sweat: "As you command..."
The reply sounded noticeably weak.
Jiang Chengyan let go and strode inside.
Inside the bedchamber, Jing'er and Aruo had already cleaned Yuan Yao's body and changed her into clean clothes and a brocade quilt.
She lay quietly on the bed, her face and lips as pale as paper, without a trace of blood.
On the shelf next to the bed, there was a basin of water.
Upon closer inspection, the clear water was tinged with blood!
Aruo and Jing'er were kneeling on either side, wiping Yuan Yao's cold sweat with handkerchiefs.
Aruo's eyes were red and swollen, and Jing'er was still crying.
Jiang Chengyan's heart was bleeding, and he couldn't help but reach out his hand: "Yuan Xiaoyao..."
Before his voice had even faded, Huaiyao, whose clothes were already tied incorrectly, hurriedly stepped into the bedchamber: "Yuan Xiaoyao!"
Jiang Chengyan withdrew his hand and let it hang down at his side.
Huaiyao rushed in, and upon seeing Jiang Chengyan, she anxiously asked, "What happened to Yuan Xiaoyao?"
Jiang Chengyan shook his head cryptically: "I don't know..."
At this moment, the imperial physician hurriedly approached with a prescription: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to Your Highness the Princess..."
"Enough with the nonsense!" Huaiyao interrupted the imperial physician's bow and asked directly, "What exactly happened to Yuan Xiaoyao?"
The imperial physician sighed: "Perhaps it's because the Emperor and His Highness have both passed away, and the Princess, though clearly depressed, has forced herself to endure it, which has damaged her heart and lungs."
After that, she caught a cold, which worsened her condition...
As he spoke, the imperial physician sighed.
Princess Yuan Yao was someone they had watched grow up.
Everyone in the Great Qi Dynasty knew how much the Ninth Prince doted on her...
She had just reached marriageable age when the Ninth Prince suddenly passed away; no one could accept that.
It's understandable that the young princess is overwhelmed with grief and depressed...
The imperial physician bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, I have written a prescription for the princess and will go to brew the medicine for her now."
"Mm." Jiang Chengyan nodded.
The imperial physician beckoned, summoning the other imperial physicians out.
Jiang Chengyan had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
He glanced around the Yaofeng Palace, then said sternly, "Everyone, get out."
The palace servants bowed and then all left Yaofeng Hall.
Jiang Chengyan looked at Jing'er and Aruo, who were kneeling by the bed: "You two go out too."
"yes……"
Aruo put away her handkerchief, pulled up Jing'er who was crying uncontrollably, and together they left the bedchamber, closing the door behind them.
Once the person left, only the sounds of burning candles and charcoal remained in the bedroom.
Huaiyao walked to the bedside first and reached out to touch Yuan Yao's head: "Yuan Xiaoyao!"
Jiang Chengyan frowned: "Huaiyao, be gentle..."
Before the words were even finished, Yuan Yao opened her eyes.
She blinked her dry eyes, and after recognizing the person beside the bed, she asked in a hoarse voice, "Has the imperial physician been here?"
Huaiyao replied, "The imperial physician has gone to prepare your medicine."
Yuan Yao nodded.
This medicine has a really strong aftereffect!
Uncle Heyin is indeed more ruthless than my younger uncle.
He didn't even tell her that drinking it would make her vomit blood...
Yuan Yao's throat was terribly sore, and her mind wasn't very clear...
She said in a hoarse voice, "Chengyan, Huaiyao, I... I want to move out of Qianhua Palace..."
Move out of Qianhua Palace?
Jiang Chengyan was stunned for a moment, then his expression hardened: "No! I won't agree!"
When he heard Yuan Yao call him by his name, he was overjoyed. But then, she decided to move out of Qianhua Palace.
If he really lets her go, wouldn't it be very difficult for him to see her in the future?
Moreover, based on his understanding of her, her so-called move out of Qianhua Palace was definitely more than that!
Everyone has left. Huaiyao is about to return to Beidi, and Xie Zhi is also heading south to the military camp...
Even she's leaving so soon?
Why?
Why make him all alone so early on?
Can't you spend more time with him?
Yuan Yao's eyes shifted slightly, landing on Jiang Chengyan's hanging hand.
She said softly, "I was raised by my father. He's ill and has to leave for so long. I'm so worried about him..."
Therefore, I must leave the palace and disappear from public view...
That way, I can go and be with my father sooner..."
After saying that, Yuan Yao stopped breathing heavily.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Chengyan's eyes reddened.
Huaiyao took a deep breath, suppressing the pain in her heart: "Yuan Xiaoyao, speak slowly, there's no rush."
Yuan Yao nodded.
She paused for a moment before continuing, "I'm not really sick, I... I took medicine."
Take medicine?
Jiang Chengyan was both shocked and heartbroken: "You..."
“I’m fine,” Yuan Yao interrupted him, continuing, “I have the antidote…”
Jiang Chengyan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Huaiyao asked, "Where's the antidote? Since there is an antidote, take it first!"
Yuan Yao: "..."
The antidote is with Po Yue.
Po Yue was scared back to the Dark Guard camp by her ghost stories...
However, it's not good that the broken moon isn't there.
If he were here, given his temperament, seeing her in such pain, wouldn't he force her to take the antidote?
Otherwise, what if someone is seriously ill and then suddenly gets better? That would be terrifying.
Thinking about it, Yuan Yao smiled.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Chengyan asked, "Where is Yun Chan? Did she return to Chu?"
Yuan Yao nodded: "Mm."
Jiang Chengyan clenched his fist again after he had just loosened it.
He suppressed the bitterness in his heart and the slight anger in his eyes: "There are thousands of men in Daqi who are suitable for you, why did you choose him?"
So many things have happened to you, and he can't even be there for you to cope with them!
Yuan Xiaoyao, what exactly do you want from him?!
This was the first time in many years that Jiang Chengyan had lost his temper with Yuan Yao.
He felt sorry for her, and the more he felt sorry for her, the angrier he became...
At the bedside, Huaiyao reached out and blocked Yuanyao behind her.
She glared at Jiang Chengyan: "Why are you yelling? Does being the emperor give you the right to yell at people?"
Yuan Xiaoyao was already feeling unwell, and you still yelled at her!
Even if Yun Chan was not the best, he had silently served as her bodyguard for many years, protecting her from countless dangers behind her back.
Yuan Xiaoyao doesn't like Yun Chan, who would risk her life to protect her, but she likes you, who's always picking fights with her?!
Jiang Chengyan: "..."
Jiang Chengyan frowned and gritted his teeth: "Jiang Huaiyao, are you yelling at me?"
"What's wrong with yelling at you?" Huaiyao sneered. "What, are you going to punish me? You're the emperor, and I'm the empress of the Northern Barbarians!"
Jiang Chengyan's eyelids twitched violently.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, very well, all of you are trying to bully me!"
You are all in pairs, while I am all alone!
Let's go! Let's all go!
"Once you leave, don't come back!"
Jiang Chengyan was so angry that his eyes turned red. He flung his sleeves and stormed out of Yaofeng Palace.
Yuan Yao: "..."
Huaiyao: "..."
The two looked at each other in bewilderment.
Just as he was about to speak, footsteps sounded again outside the hall.
Huaiyao sneered: "Look, you went out to wipe away your tears, and now you've come back..."
Yuan Yao looked up.
Behind the screen stood a tall, slender figure.
Yuan Yao pursed her lips: "Xie Zhi?"
Xie Zhi stood behind the screen, his voice and expression unreadable: "I heard you were ill, so I came to see you..."
I'll just stand here, say a few words, and then leave..."
