Chapter 337: Covering up

Once you become suspicious about something, you will find more clues.

For example, now...

Yun Qin looked at Doctor Zhang Yu, who was obviously holding back a cough, and really didn't understand why he was in such a hurry to come into the palace to check her pulse when his cold hadn't recovered yet.

Although Jiang Yuanzheng was still in the palace, the Yu Hospital had other Yu doctors that Huo Jinchi trusted.

There are only two possibilities: one is that he asked for it himself, and the other is that Hawking Chi asked for it.

But no matter which one it was, it seemed like they were trying to prevent her from finding someone else to diagnose her pulse, or from repeating what happened with Doctor Qi Yi before.

This is really an attempt to cover up one's mistake.

"Doctor Zhang Yu, didn't I tell you to take good care of yourself?" Yun Qin said with a smile, "Look, I'm in good health, there's no need for you to worry so much."

"Your humble servant, cough..." Doctor Zhang Yu opened his mouth and coughed twice with a handkerchief against his lips before saying, "Your humble servant is almost well now. Of course, the health of the Majesty is more important."

Yun Qin curled her lips and smiled, "It was the Emperor who urged Doctor Zhang Yu to return to the palace. This is really embarrassing."

"No, no, I'm really well now." He denied immediately.

Seeing his expression, Yun Qin confirmed in her heart that it was Huo Jinchi who urged Doctor Zhang Yu to enter the palace.

First, she reacted aggressively by taking Doctor Qi Yu away, and then she hurriedly called Doctor Zhang Yu into the palace.

If she still doesn't suspect anything, then there must be something fishy going on.

Yunqin's health was of course not seriously ill, so Doctor Zhang Yu just asked her to continue taking the current medicine and then left.

Rong Xin personally escorted him out, and Dan Xue was the only one left in the hall.

"Danxue, do you know any female doctors?"

If the palace maids fell ill, they could only find a doctor to see them, unless their master granted them the favor. Otherwise, they could only find a female doctor in the palace to see them.

"I do know an Aunt Cui. Why did the master suddenly ask about this?" Dan Xue asked puzzled.

Now that she had doubts, Yun Qin wanted to ask others to diagnose her and find out what was wrong with Huo Jinchi.

"Well, in a few days, I'll ask Tingchun to invite Aunt Cui over in the name of your illness..."

As he was speaking, Rong Xin walked in from outside and happened to hear these words.

"Why did the master ask the female doctor to come here?" Rong Xin was also very curious.

A hint of darkness flashed across Yun Qin's clear eyes. "I want someone other than Doctor Zhang Yu and Dean Jiang to check my pulse. I always feel like they are hiding something from me."

"My master, are you overthinking? I can't see anything." Dan Xue said, "I have heard that Doctor Zhang Yu is a man of great medical ethics. Maybe he is really worried about leaving the Empress to another doctor."

Yun Qin shook her head, "It would be better if nothing happened, so that others can see it. Wouldn't it be more reassuring if nothing happened?"

"Master is right." Seeing that she insisted, Danxue didn't say anything more and asked again: "How about I go and ask someone to come?"

"Wait two days, not three days before going." Yun Qin shook her head again.

Dan Xue looked puzzled again.

Rong Xin understood Yun Qin's meaning and said, "The master is afraid that this matter will alarm the emperor."

Dan Xue immediately understood, "Then let's do as the master says."

She didn't have anything to ask about this and just listened to Yunqin.

"It's almost time for the master to take medicine. I'll go see if it's ready." She glanced at the clepsydra in the hall and said.

"Go ahead."

After she left, Rong Xin asked Yun Qin, "Ah Qin, what are you doubting about?"

"Nothing." Yun Qin replied first, but seeing Rong Xin's obviously unbelieving expression, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Sister, don't look at me like that. I really don't have any clues. Maybe I'm just too suspicious."

"You didn't lie to me?" Rong Xin still didn't quite believe it. She knew Yun Qin best.

I know that she is the type of person who only reports good news and not sorrow. She likes to keep everything in her heart and will not speak until she can no longer hold it back.

"Really." Yun Qin looked helpless, stretched out her hand and pushed Rong Xin's back, "There are new preserved fruits in the kitchen, go get some for me, sister, you know I hate taking medicine the most."

Rong Xin snorted softly, "Okay, okay, I'll go right away."

After she left, Yun Qin was the only one left in the hall, and the expression on her face finally fell. As long as she didn't smile, the coldness between her eyebrows would show.

She was indeed not lying to Rong Xin. She had no idea about the matter and couldn't figure out what had happened that made these people hide the truth from her.

Either she had some disease that she couldn't detect, or there was something wrong with the medicine she had been taking.

But over the past year or so, Yun Qin could clearly feel that her body was much better. Although she still felt a little afraid of the cold and her period was intermittent, she was still young after all.

I remember that in her previous life, when she was this age, her daily schedule was also not accurate.

As for the medicine I took.

Just as I was thinking about it, Danxue came in with a tray. The dark medicine in the bowl was her medicine.

Yun Qin looked at the medicine juice shaking slightly in the bowl.

If the problem was with the medicine, the only possibility she could think of was the contraceptive pill. Huo Jinchi didn't want to give birth to a child so early.

Not before, but now he might do so for the sake of the eldest prince.

And this medicine might leave traces in his body, so Hawking Chi was so cautious and let others check his pulse.

"master?"

Dan Xue brought the medicine to Yun Qin, but she saw that she was just staring at the medicine in the bowl in a daze, which made her feel a little strange for a moment.

"Master, if you don't drink the medicine, it will get cold."

Yun Qin came back to her senses, smiled at her, then reached out to pick up the medicine bowl, a hint of sneer flashed in her lowered eyes.

Even if this is true, what can she do?

How could she not drink this bowl of medicine?

Thinking of this, Yun Qin raised his head and drank the medicine in the bowl. Even though he drank one bowl a day, Yun Qin still frowned.

“It’s so hard.”

Danxue hurriedly handed her a candied fruit and poured her a glass of water, "Master, rinse your mouth."

Yun Qin held the candied fruit in her mouth and drank two glasses of water before the bitter taste in her mouth was washed away.

When Rong Xin came back with the preserved fruit, she saw the empty bowl. She couldn't help but laugh and said, "This time, the medicine was taken very quickly."

Yun Qin had just chewed the candied fruit and swallowed it. She reached out and took one from the plate she brought, put it in her mouth, and as soon as she took a bite, her facial features immediately wrinkled together.

"Ah, why is it so sour?"

Rong Xin laughed as she watched, "I was just about to say that the kitchen brewed sour plums this time. Who made the master so quick?"

Yun Qin stuck out her tongue and took a sip of tea to wash away the sour taste in her mouth.

She smacked her lips. “It actually tastes pretty good.”

"Danxue, go to the kitchen and pack some for the emperor." Yunqin picked a sour plum and put it in front of her eyes. "Isn't he the one who likes the snacks in our little kitchen the most? I hope he won't accuse me of not thinking about him again."

Rong Xin was speechless. This was just someone she didn't like...
