Chapter 5 Help is at your doorstep
As soon as she walked out of the inner hall, Yun Qin saw Xu An's slightly ambiguous smile.
Yun Qin tried hard to resist the urge to roll her eyes. This old eunuch almost scared her to death, making her think that the emperor had some thoughts about her.
This time, she didn't see any ambiguous shadow from the emperor, but was "tortured" by him until she was sweating profusely.
Yun Qin was complaining crazily in her heart, but her expression was calm. She ignored Xu An's gaze, walked out, and called Xiao Dezi.
"Sister Yunqin is really smart." Xiao Dezi gave her a thumbs up with a flattering look on his face. "Just now, the emperor asked for your name, and we all heard it. Don't forget us when you become successful."
Yun Qin was too lazy to agree and waved at him, signaling him to go and get a doctor as soon as possible.
"Thank you for bringing me here today." Xiao Dezi moved closer to her and lowered his voice, "Xiao Dezi promises that he will listen to you in the future."
Yun Qin glanced at him and said calmly, "We all came from the Shang Palace Bureau, so we should take care of each other. There's no need to worry about whether to bring someone with us or not."
"Sister, you don't have to hide anything in front of Xiao Dezi." Xiao Dezi's face suddenly became serious. "With our status, we can have a future in this palace. Even if we are loyal, the master must see it... Sister, you have saved my life today, Xiao Dezi will never forget it."
After hearing this, Yun Qin looked at Xiao Dezi again. She only believed three-tenths of his words. Maybe it was true that he wanted to deal with Rong Zhi, but as for the grace of giving birth to a new life, she just listened to such words.
"Then come with me to the palace." Yun Qin did not comment, but she would not push away such ready-made help, so she simply did him another favor.
Xiao Dezi perked up when he heard this, "I'll go get Doctor Zhang Yu right away."
——
When Yunqin brought Xiao Dezi and Doctor Zhang Yu back to the palace, Huipin was eating a bowl of silver ear soup.
The whole person has changed from his previous sickly look, and his complexion has become much rosier.
Could it be that the emperor really has some panacea?
Yun Qin complained in her heart, but she lowered her head and looked obedient.
Seeing Yunqin silent, Xiao Dezi was slightly excited. He stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Doctor Zhang Yu is here."
Doctor Zhang Yu also stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
Huo Jinchi glanced at Yun Qin, who was like a quail, without changing his expression. He waved to Doctor Zhang Yu, indicating that he should take Huipin's pulse.
Huipin's health was naturally fine, she just felt a little weak due to worry and eating less, but the pregnancy was stable.
"Your Majesty's stomach is weaker than that of ordinary people. It is not appropriate to overdose on medicine. I will prescribe some light and tasty medicinal food for you to slowly nourish your body."
"Thank you, Doctor Zhang Yu." Huipin pulled up her sleeve to cover her wrist, and her eyes swept over Yunqin and Rongzhi's faces, finally landing on Yunqin, "Yunqin, you must escort Doctor Zhang Yu out properly."
Rongzhi's expression changed slightly and she immediately glanced at Huipin.
Yun Qin closed her eyes and replied calmly, "Yes."
Normally, Doctor Yu would have rewarded him when he came in the middle of the night. However, Yun Qin was just a little palace maid who was not qualified to serve him closely an hour ago. How could she have anything to reward him with?
She felt helpless about Huipin's sudden impulse, but she had to think of a countermeasure quickly.
After stepping out of the sand barrier, Yun Qin immediately looked at Rong Xin. Seeing Rong Xin looking over at her, she said, "The Queen asked me to send the imperial physician out. The elder sister in the palace needs to take care of her more."
After she finished speaking, she didn't stop and winked at Xiao Dezi.
After stepping out of the palace gate, Yun Qin saw that Xiao Dezi did not follow her, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
She had just intentionally told Rong Xin and winked at Xiao Dezi, asking them to quickly find some rewards for her. If they didn't understand what she meant, she would have to draw a big cake for Dr. Zhang Yu first and then give him the reward later.
Yunqin knew that Huipin wanted her to show up on purpose, and she couldn't leave a bad impression on Doctor Zhang Yu for the first time.
When they arrived at the palace gate, Yun Qin saw that Xiao Dezi had not come up yet, so she could only chat with Doctor Zhang Yu.
When Xiao Dezi came over and saw him nod at her, Yun Qin did not ask for it right away. She just smiled and said, "Xiao Dezi, hold the light for Doctor Zhang Yu and make sure he is safely sent to the gate of Yu Hospital."
Thanks to Xiao Dezi's cleverness, he should be able to make good on his gift.
"Yes." Xiao Dezi understood and immediately said, "Doctor Zhang Yu, please come this way."
Doctor Zhang Yu said something polite and left with Xiao Dezi.
Yun Qin returned to the palace and was walking towards the inner hall when she saw a figure flash by in the corridor.
Judging from her figure, she is a woman, wearing the same willow-colored palace dress as her.
Yun Qin didn't need to think too much. The person who was peeking around here in the middle of the night was definitely not one of their people. It must be Kong Danying who lived in the west side hall and sent someone to get information.
With such a big commotion in the main hall, it would be strange if Kong Danying was not alarmed.
Thinking of Kong Danying's cunning personality, Yun Qin shook her head slightly, thinking that there would be another good show to watch tomorrow morning.
Back in the main hall, the emperor and Concubine Hui were ready to rest, so Yun Qin did not go into the inner hall. She and Rong Xin were not on duty tonight, so they waited until the lights were turned off inside and then went back to their residence together.
After a whole night of hard work, both of them felt a little sleepy. Without saying much, they went to bed.
-----------------
This time, Yun Qin did not sleep soundly. After a while of being drowsy, the sky became bright outside.
Rong Xin had already gotten up. Seeing Yun Qin still hugging the quilt, she smiled and said, "Last night, the queen asked you to come into the palace to serve her. You can't stay in bed like before."
When Yun Qin first came to Huipin's side, it had only been a year since she came here, and she had only just learned the rules and regulations. If Rong Xin hadn't been taking care of her, she didn't know how much punishment she would have suffered.
So in Yun Qin's heart, Rong Xin is not much different from her biological sister.
"Sister, don't rush me. I just need to close my eyes to wake myself up. I'll get up soon." Yun Qin rubbed her eyes and acted coquettishly.
Rong Xin smiled dotingly, and when she glanced, she saw that the skin on her arm was blue and purple. She quickly grabbed her arm and asked, "What's going on?"
Yun Qin followed her line of sight and saw the marks on her arm. The corner of her mouth twitched, "It's still those people from Yukang Palace. Their hands are as hard as pliers."
"Why didn't you tell me last night?" Rong Xin lifted her sleeves and saw that some parts of her body were pinched and her skin was broken. She felt angry and annoyed.
Yunqin was so worried last night that she didn't feel any pain in her body. Now she came to her senses. No wonder she felt pain all over her body.
But seeing Rong Xin's distressed look, he quickly said, "It's okay, it's okay, it just looks scary, I don't feel any pain at all."
"What nonsense!" Rong Xin turned around and found the ointment.
Yun Qin quickly held her back, "Stop busying yourself, I'm really fine. Besides, this ointment has a strong smell, and Your Majesty can't stand the smell of foreign things, so how can I serve you up close?"
Rong Xin thought about it and looked at her with a frown, "You can't just leave it alone, right?"
"Wait until tonight. Sister, you must apply medicine for me at night." Yun Qin pulled her arm and acted coquettishly.
Looking at her rosy little face with some bright colors, Rong Xin sighed softly, "It's all my fault. Rong Zhi just doesn't like me. Why did you offend her for me? Although I successfully invited the emperor, it's really dangerous..."
Rong Xin had other worries in her mind. Last night, she looked at Xu An's attitude coldly, and could vaguely see that the emperor looked at Yun Qin differently.
All the women in the palace belonged to the emperor. If he really had the advantage of Yun Qin, no one would dare to say anything. However, most of the palace maids favored by the emperor were just palace maids until their death.
"Rongzhi likes me, so why offend her?" Yunqin snorted and said, "I will help my sister in the future. I wonder how she can bully us!"
"You..." Rong Xin saw that Yun Qin was just confused and didn't want to scare her with those words. She suppressed her worries and said softly, "Then you help first and get up quickly."
