Chapter 48 Something Happened

Two people suddenly emerged from the water, to everyone's great joy.

Especially Hawking Chi, the darkness in his eyes was replaced by light, "Where's the bamboo pole? Bring it over here!"

Yun Qin was not as relaxed as she looked. The water in the pond was very cold. She was almost frozen and her strength was constantly draining away, not to mention that she was carrying Huipin with her.

At this moment, there was only the vast water in front of her eyes. She was completely unable to pay attention to the situation on the shore. She relied entirely on her instinct for survival to support herself to swim forward.

The shore was still covered with silt, and even if she wanted to go ashore, it would be difficult.

Just when she was getting desperate and about to give up, a bamboo pole suddenly stretched out in front of her.

Yun Qin grabbed it immediately, realizing that it was the people on the shore who were saving them. She was shocked and regained some strength. She grabbed the bamboo pole with one hand and Huipin with the other, and was slowly pulled ashore.

"Come up, come up, come and give me a hand!"

"Hurry up and pull him up!"

When Yunqin was pulled ashore, her mind was still confused and her body was swaying involuntarily. She just grabbed Huibin's collar instinctively and did not dare to let go.

"Empress Hui!"

"Doctor Yu, Doctor Yu!"

People swarmed towards Huipin. Yunqin was knocked off balance and her hands were forced to let go in the collision. Only then did she react slowly and realized that they had already reached the shore.

Yun Qin was about to step back when a cloak, still warm from her body temperature, came over her head, covering her tightly.

She looked up in panic, and met those strange yet familiar eyes again.

It's Hawking Pond.

After he made sure that Huipin was okay, his eyes never left Yunqin. He saw her holding Huipin's collar all the time, watched her stagger after being bumped into by someone, watched Huipin being surrounded by countless people and asked about her well-being, while she was left aside, shivering all alone, with no one paying any attention to her.

This made Hawking feel very uncomfortable, and when he realized it again, he had already put his cloak on her.

When he reacted, although he was a little surprised, he did not reflect on his own character. Not only did he not withdraw his hand, he also tightened the belt of her cloak.

His action not only shocked Yun Qin speechless, but also shocked everyone present, and their eyes kept changing as they looked at Yun Qin.

"Send the person to Xunfang Pavilion first!" Huo Jinchi ordered in a calm voice.

Everyone then reacted, picked up the unconscious Huipin, and ran straight to Xunfang Pavilion.

"Help her."

This "she" was naturally Yun Qin. The one who came over to support her was Aunt Xia Yun. The smile on her face was still so gentle, and she whispered to Yun Qin, "Girl, bear with it, you will feel better after you change your clothes."

Yun Qin had no strength left and was almost leaning on her. Hearing this, she could only nod.

Her eyes involuntarily fell on Hawking Chi who was walking in front of her, and she had to admit that she did feel warm the moment the cloak was put on her body.

Although this little bit of warmth was quickly overwhelmed by the shock and panic that surged up, she still felt relieved.

At least this new boss is a decent person.

——

Xunfang Pavilion is very close to the Yu Garden. It was a place for the emperor and his concubines to rest when visiting the Yu Garden. It is fully equipped with everything.

Yun Qin was sent to a side hall. The palace maid first brought a charcoal basin and then a new palace dress. Xia Yun did not leave, but held the palace dress as if she was going to help her put on the clothes.

"No, thanks, I'll do it myself." Yun Qin covered her collar awkwardly.

Xia Yun didn't force it. "Miss, if you feel it's inconvenient, we will go out first and wait outside the door. If you have anything to say, just call us."

"good."

After everyone had left, Yun Qin shook her body, changed into dry clothes, wrapped herself in the quilt, and put her hands on the charcoal fire. Only then did she feel like she was alive again.

"Girl..." When Xia Yun walked in, she saw this scene and couldn't help but smile.

Yun Qin pulled down the quilt on her head a little embarrassedly, "Aunt Xia Yun."

"I'll serve you some ginger soup." Xia Yun put the bowl in his hand on the low table and looked at her with a deep smile in his eyes. "Miss, don't be restrained. Just do whatever makes you feel comfortable in front of us."

Yun Qin laughed dryly twice, picked up the ginger soup beside her, and drank it in one gulp.

She could already feel her forehead getting hot and her hands and feet going limp, and she just hoped she wasn't too ill.

The Emperor has caused such a scene today, and he will probably have to fight a tough battle in the future. And as for Ajing, she must be sent out of the palace as soon as possible.

Seeing her move so decisively, Xia Yun was stunned at first, then she covered her lips and chuckled softly.

Yun Qin looked at the empty bowl and realized what she had done. Her cheeks became even hotter. She thought it must be because of the fever that made her relax and her behavior became uncontrollable.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed Aunt Xia Yun."

Xia Yun was the most dignified palace lady she had ever met, except for Rong Xin. Her every word and action was proper and natural, elegant and decent, and she could easily make someone look like a young girl.

She then changed the subject, "How is the queen?"

Xia Yun then stopped smiling and replied, "The queen has woken up. She is naturally feeling very uncomfortable. The doctors are examining her now."

As she was speaking, Yun Qin suddenly heard a shrill scream from next door, which made her heart tremble.

Yun Qin was about to get out of bed, but her arms and legs went limp, so Xia Yun held her back.

"Miss, just rest. I'll send someone to check on her." Xia Yun helped her sit down and hurried out.

Yunqin sat on the couch and waited for a while, but Xia Yun didn't come back, and Huipin's screams became louder and louder.

She felt uneasy, so she put on her shoes and went out. As soon as she went out, she saw palace servants rushing back and forth in the main hall. Seeing this scene, she knew that something must have happened.

Yun Qin held onto the railing of the corridor and moved closer to the main hall. The closer she got, the clearer Huipin's screams became.

As she reached the door, she ran into a palace maid carrying a basin of blood.

The palace maid didn't even look at Yunqin, she just walked past her and ran away in a hurry.

Yun Qin's hanging heart immediately sank to the bottom. She walked in holding the door frame. She couldn't see the situation in the inner hall through the heavy curtains. She only watched one palace maid after another carrying clean water in and coming out with bloody water. Her nose was already full of the smell of blood.

She stood there in a daze for an unknown amount of time before the curtain opened again and it was Hawking Chi who walked out.

His hands were covered in blood, and they looked empty as if he was holding something. He showed no surprise when he saw Yun Qin. He just looked at her with a blank look in his eyes and whispered, "Yun Qin, my child is gone..."

Yun Qin had been staring at the blood on his hands since he came out. After hearing what he said, she felt a buzzing in her ears, and then her eyes went dark.

Before she completely lost consciousness, the last thing that flashed through Yun Qin's mind was the scene of her touching Huibin's belly and feeling her fetal movement.
