Chapter 152 Missing Her
Sure enough, as Yun Qin expected, she waited until almost dinner time, but Huo Jinchi still didn't come back.
Xia Yun couldn't help but persuade her, "It's almost time for you to take your medicine, so you should eat first. The emperor won't blame you."
Yun Qin glanced at the palace entrance again, and then said in a low mood: "Let's have the chicken soup noodles for lunch."
"Yes, I will ask someone to prepare it."
After Xia Yun left, Yun Qin rubbed her face and said to Rong Xin, "Before I asked you to bring me some snacks, you were worried that I wouldn't be able to eat dinner. Now you see, if I hadn't eaten some earlier, I would be hungry now."
Little did he know that Hawking Chi had actually arrived at the gate of Tongming Palace.
When he arrived at Concubine De's palace today, Doctor Yu was already examining the eldest prince's pulse. He lifted up the prince's clothes and took a look, and sure enough, he found that he was covered in red rashes.
His face immediately fell.
De Fei cried anxiously, "I asked Doctor Yu to check and found that there is no problem with his diet. He has been staying in the palace the whole time. I really don't know what is going on."
"How on earth did you take care of him?" Huo Jinchi angrily said to Doctor Yu, "What a bunch of useless people."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me." Doctor Yu fell to the ground, shaking like a sieve.
Concubine De hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Doctor Yu has done his best. It is Ziheng who is weak." She wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "It is all my fault. If I hadn't fallen, Ziheng wouldn't have given birth prematurely and wouldn't be so weak and sickly now."
She was not extremely beautiful, but when she cried she was as soft as a jade or a flower, and I felt pity for her.
"What does it have to do with you?" Huo Jinchi softened his tone towards her, but he was still as fierce as a storm when facing Doctor Yu. "In my opinion, these people are useless!"
After that, he said to Xu An: "Go to the outer city and invite Jiang Yuanzheng to come over, and let him see what a bunch of rubbish this Yu Hospital has become without him!"
"Your Majesty!" De Fei hurriedly said, "Jiang Yuanzheng is now in the private camp. I heard that someone has been infected with the disease, and the eldest prince is weak..."
Huo Jinchi wanted to explain to her that Jiang Yuanzheng was old and he had never let Jiang Yuanzheng come into contact with patients. He was mostly in the city defense camp, prescribing medicine and directing his subordinates to make medicine.
But seeing how Defei resisted, he didn't say anything more.
She has a point.
Huo Jinchi then said, "Let Zhang Zhian come over!"
"Isn't Doctor Zhang Yu the best at treating Qianjin disease..." Concubine De was still a little hesitant.
Huo Jinchi glanced at her, with a bit of scrutiny in his eyes, but he said, "He is Jiang Yuanzheng's apprentice. Even if he is not good at anything, he is better than these rubbish."
"I obey your Majesty."
Afterwards, Doctor Zhang Yu came over, but he couldn't see anything either.
In the end, it was all blamed on the eldest prince's weak health, but his eyes were sharper than those of others.
He reached out and touched the clothes on the eldest prince, then said respectfully to Concubine De: "Your Majesty is kind-hearted. The eldest prince should be wearing brand new clothes, but he is weak and his skin is more sensitive than others. It is better for him to wear some soft old clothes."
"I am a humble official, please don't be offended, Your Majesty." He bowed again.
Concubine De was obviously stunned for a moment, and then tears fell again. Naturally, she kept blaming herself and feeling guilty, and she blamed everything on herself, hugging the eldest prince and crying non-stop.
The eldest prince had just taken medicine and the rash had not yet subsided, so Huo Jinchi stayed in Concubine De's palace for a while longer.
He was still thinking about Yun Qin who was waiting for him for dinner, so he planned to leave when the eldest prince's rash got a little better.
But Concubine De stopped her, "Your Majesty, Ziheng hasn't woken up yet. If he doesn't see his father when he wakes up, he'll make trouble again."
"I will come to see him tomorrow morning." Huo Jinchi glanced at the eldest prince on the bed and said in a low voice.
De Fei immediately said pitifully, "But, but I have disappointed the emperor? I am indeed not a good mother, letting the eldest prince suffer like this."
Under normal circumstances, Huo Jinchi would not mind comforting her, but he had seen too much "real pity", and seeing her like this, he suddenly felt a little disgusted.
"This is your first time as a mother, and I won't be too harsh on you." He said patiently.
Concubine De raised her tear-stained eyes and said, "But, but I am really sad. Your Majesty, please accompany me for dinner before leaving."
The days are short now and it is already dark outside. Since I have accompanied her for dinner at this hour, there is naturally no need to rush back to Tongming Palace.
Knowing what she was planning, Huo Jinchi's expression turned even colder. "You look so sad. Are you still in the mood to have dinner?"
After saying this, he did not look at Concubine De again, but turned around and walked out of the palace.
Defei followed behind and called the emperor twice, but he ignored her both times.
Arriving outside the Tongming Palace, Huo Jinchi looked at the warm lights inside, and the anger in his heart instantly dissipated a lot.
Ever since Yunqin moved in, the candlelight seemed to have become much warmer.
Xiao Dezi was guarding outside the palace. He saw the emperor trying to salute, but Huo Jinchi stopped him with his hand.
If Yun Qin heard that he was coming, she would probably have to rush over to pay her respects again. She had just recovered from her illness, so she should not bother herself with that.
Huo Jinchi left everyone outside and walked straight into the hall. Before he turned around the veil, he heard the master and servant talking inside.
"I thought you were sad, and was wondering how to get you to eat something, but it turned out to be all a lie!"
"There will be many nights like this in the future. If I am sad every day, will I ever get over it?"
There was a hint of indifference in Yun Qin's voice, but it made Huo Jinchi's smiling eyes turn a little colder.
"I can go to bed early and won't be woken up. I can sleep until dawn."
Listening to this heartless voice, Hawking Chi gritted his teeth secretly again.
He got up very carefully every morning for fear of waking her up, but it turned out that she was just pretending to sleep!
Okay, okay, Yunqin, you are finished!
Huo Jinchi stepped harder and said as he walked, "It's my fault that I didn't let you get a good night's sleep."
His voice was so cold that Yun Qin shuddered and stood up directly from the stool.
Turning her head and meeting Hawking's eyes, she felt that there was a blood-red "danger" hanging over her head, and she was even more worried about how much he had heard.
This has happened several times!
How can your Majesty, as the emperor, love to gossip so much?
If there was a GPS, she would definitely install one for him, so that every time he gets close, an alarm would go off!
