Zheng Congyuan’s heart sank, and he felt a sudden empathy, as if experiencing Nian Ru’s lancholy and fear. Especially because he couldn’t be by her side to comfort her.
It was his negligence.
Imperial Doctor Xu imdiately felt the atmosphere turn sour, which was very unsettling.
"However, The Emperor need not worry. As long as the Empress wakes up and can relax her mind, along with so anti-depressant dicine that I will prescribe, she will, she will recover," said Imperial Doctor Xu imdiately.
"Imperial Doctor Xu, from now on, you will be solely responsible for the Empress’s condition," said Zheng Congyuan upon seeing this.
"Your servant obeys," Imperial Doctor Xu imdiately knelt down, feeling as though his head was no longer his own, as if it might fall off at any mont. "This servant will prepare the dicine for the Empress right away, and start brewing it now so it will be ready for her as soon as she awakens."
Zheng Congyuan nodded, and Imperial Doctor Xu imdiately breathed a sigh of relief as he withdrew.
Before he had gone far, Imperial Doctor Xu imdiately felt soone following him and shuddered.
"Minister Xu, this servant will grind ink for you," said an unfamiliar Little Eunuch, imdiately following him. Imperial Doctor Xu, startled, felt his back soaked with sweat and nodded.
"Thank you—" As Imperial Doctor Xu picked up the pen, he had just written two characters when he heard the eunuch whisper in a voice so low that only he could hear.
"What dicine is the doctor prescribing?" The tone and urgency in the voice were almost identical to those he had used when hurriedly coming to Chenyuan Hall, causing Imperial Doctor Xu to shudder. The pen in his hand was imdiately seized by the other, and a piercing gaze shot towards him, making his scalp tingle.
The hands that reached out were as thin as kindling, with fingertips like chicken claws, yet they were very strong. This abrupt action caused Imperial Doctor Xu’s pen to stop steadily in midair, not even a drop of ink fell.
"It’s, it’s a pregnancy-protecting dicine," whispered Imperial Doctor Xu, his voice as faint as a mosquito’s. He dared not speak loudly, fearing death in any case.
The physician imdiately looked at Imperial Doctor Xu, seemingly asking why he was prescribing pregnancy-protecting dicine.
"The Empress was shocked and lost too much blood, inevitably she will..." Imperial Doctor Xu glanced at the Inner Hall, which was completely quiet.
The Little Eunuch then slowly released the pen, and Imperial Doctor Xu felt as if he had regained a lifeline. He didn’t dare to breathe as he continued to write the prescription.
Zheng Congyuan sat quietly by the bedside, with Qi Jin and Qi Yu standing silently behind him. Eunuch Du, looking several tis at those still waiting in the outer hall, grew anxious.
In Eunuch Du’s intuition, these people were not to be trifled with.
Even when the Imperial Forest Guard was utterly helpless, these people had easily resolved the crisis. Eunuch Du’s only feeling now was that Chenyuan Hall might experience a change of fate soon.
Nanny Yun glanced at Eunuch Du. What was he looking at, ti and again? That gaze was clearly distrustful of these people.
Nanny Yun also wasn’t sure who these people really were, or if they were related to the relic the Empress had been looking for a few days ago. But the Empress had only searched briefly before losing interest and never ntioned it again.
Logically, even the Empress didn’t know what she was really looking for. So where did these people co from? If they had been in the palace for a long ti, why hadn’t they t with the Empress sooner?
Nanny Yun couldn’t manage these things. Just now, when the Emperor had asked Imperial Doctor Xu to diagnose the Empress, she almost fainted. Any Imperial Physician could have diagnosed the Empress’s pulse.
Yet, Imperial Doctor Xu hadn’t said a word. Nanny Yun instantly doubted whether Imperial Doctor Xu was really as competent as he seed, perhaps not being able to practice dicine at all?
No wonder The Emperor’s illness hadn’t improved for a long ti.
Fu Dong glanced around, unsure where to rest her eyes. Wasn’t the Empress pregnant?
"You all may leave now," Zheng Congyuan finally rembered those standing by the bedside and spoke wearily.
Fu Dong was taken aback and instinctively shook her head. Serving the Empress was their duty. Not to ntion that the Empress hadn’t woken up yet; even if she had, they couldn’t leave.
"The Emperor, please go back and rest. We servants are here, and I assure you, as soon as the Empress awakens, we will report imdiately," Fu Dong quickly said.
At this mont, if The Emperor didn’t leave, they had no chance to discuss anything privately. If the Empress woke up and misspoke, they couldn’t be too obvious in their reminders.
"Never mind, I will sit here. You go refresh yourselves so you can better serve your Empress when you’re more alert," said Zheng Congyuan, preferring to find so answers on his own.
