Chapter 15: Unable to escape, Doctor Zhang Yu comes to visit

This year's spring seemed to come exceptionally late, and the wind was freezing cold at night. I don't know if it was because of the cold wind, but Yun Qin's condition, which had not yet fully recovered, became more serious.

Yunqin had a slight fever when she returned to her room last night and fell asleep immediately. It was not until the next day that she learned from Ajing what happened after Rongzhi came back.

"Not only did Rongzhi fail to invite the emperor, the emperor also fined the queen half a month's salary. You don't know, the queen was very angry last night, and a cup of hot tea fell on Rongzhi's arm, and Rongzhi almost fainted from the pain. Even so, she was still worried that the queen was angry and sick, and no one could help her, so she kowtowed to the queen."

Ajing, who hated Rongzhi the most, did not show any happiness on her face when she talked about this matter. Instead, her expression was a little dazed.

"I went to her room with other people to take a look. Her arm was covered in blood and a large piece of skin had been burned off. She will definitely have a scar in the future."

She looked at Yun Qin with a straight gaze, "She treated you so well, how could you have the heart to..."

Yun Qin wanted to sneer, but her throat started to itch and she couldn't help coughing.

She coughed violently, and her originally pale face turned a little red due to coughing. There was mist in her eyes, and she looked a little pitiful, but if you looked closely, you could see the coldness in her eyes.

She didn't know how to answer. She couldn't tell Ajing that there were many people in this world who didn't take their lives seriously.

Although Yun Qin had other intentions and reservations in what she said last night, she was frank with Huipin and told him despite the risk of being punished by the Emperor if he found out.

It was Huipin herself who didn't believe it and wanted to ask the emperor again. Even Rongzhi just bumped into her by herself.

What sympathy do they have?

She should be the one who is scared. If Rong Zhi hadn't jumped out and she had gone to invite the emperor, what would have happened if the emperor didn't come?

If it were her, it probably wouldn’t be as simple as a cup of hot water!

"Are you okay?" Ah Jing stroked Yun Qin's back. Seeing that she had stopped coughing, she stood up and poured a glass of water to her mouth, and said worriedly, "You look more serious. I'll ask the female doctor to come over and take a look. Let's change the prescription."

Yun Qin reached out to take the cup, smiled at her, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, they say that illness goes away like a thread, and it will heal slowly."

During this period of time, she takes two doses of medicine a day. Sometimes she takes one dose, and sometimes she doesn't take any. It would be strange if she could get better.

"Where is Sister Rong Xin?" Yun Qin asked.

Ah Jing whispered, "She is guarding the queen in the inner hall. She is very angry and the fetus seems to be a little unstable. Doctor Zhang Yu did not return to the hospital last night."

"She didn't get angry with Sister Rong Xin, did she?" Yun Qin asked, frowning slightly.

Ah Jing shook her head, "Not really."

Yun Qin nodded and patted her chest. It was indeed time for her illness to be cured.

Huipin failed to ask the emperor for help this time and was punished. She made such a big joke that I'm afraid she will become even more moody. Sister Rong Xin is alone by her side, so Yunqin still feels uneasy.

However, after being punished, Huipin should not send things to Yu so frequently anymore.

The emperor would probably be angry for a while, even if he did it for the harem to see. During this period, even if Huipin asked her to go to the throne to deliver something, she would not be summoned.

The emperor refused to accept the gifts sent to him, which showed that he was still angry. Huipin couldn't take it out on them.

Just as she was thinking this, Yun Qin suddenly heard Xiao Dezi's voice outside the window.

"Doctor Zhang Yu, why did you go through so much trouble to make another trip? She's just a little palace maid. Didn't the Empress not ask about her last time..."

Before he finished speaking, Doctor Zhang Yu interrupted him and said, "Thank you for your kindness, eunuch. This is my duty. Concubine Hui must have someone to serve her. Otherwise, it will be my fault."

Yunqin frowned when she heard this. Doctor Zhang Yu was just perfunctory last time, why was he so resolute this time? Did Concubine Hui say something?

Before she could think about it, there was a knock on the door. Ah Jing got up and opened the door. It was Doctor Zhang Yu who came in.

Yun Qin, who was lying on the bed, stood up slightly and pretended to be surprised and said, "Master Zhang, why are you here? I'm sorry that I can't stand up and salute you."

After she finished speaking, she quickly glanced at Xiao Dezi who followed in. Seeing that he looked flustered and obviously had not expected this, she felt even more puzzled.

If Huipin said something, he should know...

Doctor Zhang Yu smiled at her kindly, "It's okay, it's okay, Miss Yunqin, just lie down."

It was "Miss Yunqin" again. Yunqin's heart skipped a beat when she heard it, but she remained calm. "The room is simple, Doctor Zhang Yu, please don't mind. Please take a seat first."

After Doctor Zhang Yu sat down, she asked with a worried look on her face, "How is my queen's health?"

"Empress Hui is fine, but she has some liver qi disharmony. After I gave her acupuncture, the fetus has stabilized." Doctor Zhang Yu replied with a smile, without a trace of impatience in his tone.

The more he did this, the faster Yun Qin's heart beat, and she couldn't help but look at Xiao Dezi again.

Xiao Dezi was also looking at her, with suspicion in his eyes.

"Master Zhang, have some tea."

Doctor Zhang Yu took the tea handed to him by Ajing, but did not drink it. He put it on the table beside him and said solemnly: "Miss Yunqin's health is important, I'd better take your pulse first." Then he took out a wrist pillow from the medicine box.

"Thank you for your help." Yun Qin had no choice but to stretch out her wrist.

Among the three people staring at Zhang Yu while he was taking Yun Qin's pulse, perhaps only A Jing was truly worried about Yun Qin's condition.

As soon as he lifted his finger to take the pulse, Ah Jing immediately asked, "Master Zhang, how is Yunqin? She was feeling better a few days ago, but suddenly got worse last night and almost fainted in the palace."

Hearing her say this, Xiao Dezi reacted first. He looked at Yun Qin, surprised that she was really sick. While he breathed a sigh of relief, he also felt a little worried.

Doctor Zhang Yu put away the handkerchief on Yunqin's wrist and said, "It is indeed a cold, but Miss Yunqin is weak and depressed, so she is sick."

He did not inquire into why Yunqin was depressed, but only said: "I have read Miss Yunqin's prescription. The medicine is too strong for her, which is also the main reason for her worsening condition. I will change her to a milder prescription and add a tranquilizer. It will be effective within three days. During this period, you should try to stay in bed and rest, and don't be exposed to cold wind."

These words were detailed and comprehensive. The more Yun Qin listened, the more reluctant she became. She could only say gratefully, "Thank you, Master Zhang."

"You don't have to be so polite."
