Chapter 42: Medicine is coming

Yun Qin was still trying to calm herself down when the door was suddenly pushed open. She was so frightened that her arms went limp and she almost fell on the table.

"What's wrong with you?"

It was Ah Jing who came in. She looked at Yun Qin leaning on the table, her face pale and sweat on her forehead, and she was a little worried.

She walked over and held Yun Qin's arm. "Were you frightened in the palace before? Do you want me to ask the doctor to prescribe some tranquilizer for you?"

Yun Qin had recovered from her shock and shook her head and smiled at her, "I'm fine." She changed the subject, "How did you find time to come back?"

"The queen is asleep. The emperor doesn't like being served by so many people, so the people in front of him let us out." Ah Jing said, "I just went to the warehouse with Sister Rong Xin to find something for Aunt Lan Yin."

No wonder you have time to come here, Yun Qin muttered inwardly, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and pulled Ajing to sit down.

"She's also worried about you, and asked me to come back and see you soon." She said, and touched Yunqin's forehead again, "It's all sweaty, are you really okay?"

Yun Qin shook her head again and said with a smile, "But it's also good to take tranquilizers. Let's take a bowl each. Have a good sleep tonight and forget everything when we wake up tomorrow."

Ah Jing held her hand tightly, with a look of panic on her face, "Yes, you are right, sleep well tonight and forget everything."

She didn't want to recall what happened before, but even if she didn't think about it, she would keep remembering a palace maid who died by hitting her head in front of the main hall...

Seeing that she was a little distracted, Yun Qin changed the subject again, "Aren't you curious about what that snack I was making in the kitchen earlier?"

"Isn't it just a big piece of rotten cake?" Ah Jing came back to his senses, and his attention was indeed attracted by her words.

Everyone here calls egg cake "zaozigao". Yunqin was a little helpless. "You are right. But what I want to make is another kind of snack, called cake..."

"Isn't that still bad cake?" Ah Jing became more and more confused.

Yun Qin was almost confused by herself, "Anyway, it's just another way. You'll know when I make it. I guarantee you'll like it."

"Okay then." Ah Jing finally had time to look around the room. "Why is it so clean all of a sudden?"

Yun Qin's face froze, and she laughed, "I'm just too bored."

She also wanted to tell Ajing that she was going to leave the palace, but now was obviously not a good time. She decided to wait until Ajing was in a better mood.

"I think you're just scared and want to find something to do." Ah Jing looked like, "I see through you, don't I?" "You're just a little timid, but you're very tough."

Yun Qin was really helpless. Why did one or two people think she was scared? Was it obvious that her legs were weak?

"Okay, you take a rest first, I'll go find the doctor to prescribe medicine for you." She just stood up.

There was another knock on the door.

Yun Qin's heart tightened subconsciously. Who is it again?

"Who is it?" Ah Jing was also a little confused. She opened the door and saw a familiar-looking maid from the former palace.

Yun Qin took a look through the gap and asked in surprise: "Aunt Xia Yun?"

The person who came was none other than the former head maid of the Yu family who had bandaged Yunqin's wound last time.

Yun Qin quickly stood up and walked to the door, "Aunt Xia Yun, how come you have time to come here? Please come in."

Although she said this, she knew in her heart that she was probably here on the orders of the Emperor.

I don’t know what it is.

"Miss Yunqin." Xia Yun smiled and said, "I won't go in. Here is a packet of tranquilizer. Miss, remember to boil it and drink it, otherwise..." She glanced at Ah Jing and said, "That person is worried."

Yun Qin's smile froze as she reached out to take the packet of medicine, but Aunt Xia Yun grabbed her wrist and glanced at her index finger.

"The wound has healed well." Xia Yun smiled warmly and gently, and added casually, "It was also the one who asked me to come and take a look."

Yun Qin couldn't laugh anymore. "Thank you, thank you Auntie for still thinking about me."

Xia Yun's smile deepened, "I will help you convey this message."

“No, that’s not necessary.” Yun Qin’s tongue was tied.

She was just being polite!

"Girl, remember to drink the tranquilizer. I can't leave for too long, so I'll go back first."

Yun Qin immediately bowed and said, "Aunt, take care."

After everyone left, she stared at the herbs in her hand in a daze. So before the emperor came, he was just worried that she would be scared and came to check on her?

Do you still remember the wound on your hand? It was so long ago...

This feeling of being remembered by someone did not make her feel touched or any strange feeling at all. If she did feel anything, it was creepy.

She shuddered and came back to her senses from her daze. When she raised her eyes, she saw Ah Jing looking at her with a scrutinizing expression.

Yunqin wanted to laugh subconsciously. She never thought that one day Ajing would have this kind of look on her face.

"What are you laughing at? Tell the truth. Who is that person? Why did he give you tranquilizer?" Ah Jing puffed her cheeks, pulled her hand over, and pointed at the wound on her index finger that was so light that it was almost invisible. "How did you get this wound?"

Yun Qin then realized the seriousness of the matter and said guiltily, "No one, no one, just a kind-hearted palace maid. Didn't I meet Qing He who was with Lady Liu in the palace last time..."

"Did she hurt you?" Ah Jing's eyes flashed with ferocity.

Yun Qin wanted to laugh again, but she managed to hold it back, and continued, "No, I scolded him too harshly, and I felt a little regretful. I also cut myself when I hit the tree branch. This is too embarrassing, I didn't want to tell you, for fear that you would laugh at me."

Ah Jing didn't hold back after hearing this, and raised the corner of her mouth, "That's all you can do. It's not like you were scolded by someone, so why are you angry? Are you afraid of losing face..."

She covered her lips and laughed twice, "It's so embarrassing!"

"Ajing!" Yun Qin glared at her.

Ah Jing was glared at by her moist eyes and wanted to tease her even more, "Are you angry now? You are so shy and narrow-minded. Our Yun Qin is really a coquettish one!"

"Are you itchy?" Yun Qin was so angry that she reached out to pinch her arm.

Ah Jing dodged to the side, not forgetting to take the medicine in her hand, "I'd better go and make some tranquilizer for you, otherwise Yun Qin will become a yandere!" As she spoke, she slipped out the door.

"Look, I'll tear your mouth off when I get back!" Yun Qin glared at her and warned her, "Remember not to say anything nonsense."

"I know, I know." Ah Jing raised the medicine in her hand, indicating that she understood it was about the medicine.

Watching Ajing leave, Yunqin's expression gradually became calm, and finally she sighed.

Your Majesty, don't really think that she is playing hard to get.
