Han Yunxi had been studying the Beauty's Blood at home the entire time, but the Heavenly Palace's Imperial Doctor Chen suddenly came to see her. He said that Gu Beiyue had been kneeling on the steps of the Heavenly Palace for three days and three nights because he couldn't cure the Empress Dowager's insomnia.
Han Yunxi felt terrible when she heard this news and almost rushed into the palace!
It had to be known that it had been raining for the past three days and it was early winter. Not to mention how cold the rain was, just kneeling on the white jade steps of the Heavenly Palace for a while would be unbearable for a person's knees.
She couldn't imagine how weak Gu Beiyue's medicine pot body would be!
"Insomnia!"
Han Yunxi narrowed her eyes with a dangerous expression. She knew that the Empress Dowager was here for her, or more accurately, for the Medicine Fan!
She wanted the Medicine Fan, but didn't dare ask her for it. She actually treated Gu Beiyue like this, it was truly despicable!
It was fine if she used Gu Beiyue to threaten her, but she actually made Gu Beiyue kneel for three days and three nights before telling her.
Han Yunxi became angrier the more she thought about it. She suddenly swept the teacup on the table to the ground and it hit Imperial Doctor Chen's foot.
She never thought that Imperial Doctor Chen would still seek death. He pretended to be anxious, "Esteemed Princess Consort, please calm down! Esteemed Princess Consort, this official secretly came to tell you this. Please calm down and think of a way to save Imperial Doctor Gu! "
If it was another imperial doctor who came to tell her this, perhaps they really did want to save Gu Beiyue. However, this Imperial Doctor Chen that Han Yunxi didn't know at all was clearly sent by the Empress Dowager.
Han Yunxi angrily glared at Imperial Doctor Chen, but he quickly said, "Esteemed Princess Consort, the Empress Dowager already has insomnia and has been unable to sleep these past few days because she lost something. Her temper is very bad, so I don't know how she will torture Imperial Doctor Gu!"
"Is that so?"
Han Yunxi suddenly picked up the teacup filled with tea and fiercely threw it at Imperial Doctor Chen, "Then why did you only come now? It's been three days and three nights, why did you only come now? What do you mean? "
Doctor Chen was hit in the stomach and his face changed from the pain, but he still pretended, "Princess Consort, please calm your anger. This official hasn't been able to leave the palace for the past few days."
"Can't leave the palace? What a coincidence! "Han Yunxi sneered.
"That's right, Princess Consort, this official and Imperial Physician Gu have been together for many years … …"
Before Imperial Doctor Chen finished speaking, Han Yunxi took action. She picked up almost everything on the table and threw it at Imperial Doctor Chen.
"Years of what? You still have the nerve to say that! "
"Empress Dowager asked you to come, right? Tell me what's going on right now. Otherwise … "
Han Yunxi paused for a moment before shouting, "Men, close the door and release the dog!"
Steward Luo raised a wolf dog. It was said that other than the Duke of Qin and Qin Wangfei, it was the worst dog to provoke in the Duke of Qin's residence.
Soon a large wolf dog was brought in. It had sharp fangs and was drooling. Doctor Chen was scared and immediately kneeled down, "Princess Consort, please calm your anger. This official will speak! I will tell you everything! "
Han Yunxi let out a sigh of relief and calmed herself down.
Before she blindly entered the palace, she had to understand the situation first. Otherwise, how could she fight the Empress Dowager?
Ever since the Medicine Fan appeared at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, she had been waiting for the Empress Dowager to make a move.
The Empress Dowager was a smart person, so naturally she wouldn't directly ask her for it. If the Empress Dowager directly asked her for it, she would have plenty of reasons to refuse.
For example, the Medicine Fan in her hand was an imitation, or the Medicine Fan had been used as medicine by her. If it was gone, the Empress Dowager wouldn't be able to do anything to her.
She always knew that the Empress Dowager would make things difficult for her, but she never thought that the Empress Dowager would use Gu Beiyue as a target.
Doctor Chen was so scared that he kept taking deep breaths. Han Yunxi did not have that kind of patience, so she coldly said, "Why aren't you speaking yet?"
"Princess Consort, the Empress Dowager's insomnia has always been this servant's prescription. Ever since the birthday banquet, the Empress Dowager has had Imperial Physician Gu perform acupuncture on her every night to help her sleep. Imperial Physician Gu said that there wouldn't be any side effects if he cooperated with this official's prescription, but the Empress Dowager secretly stopped taking her medicine three days ago. As a result, she began to feel pain all over her body, so she angrily punished Imperial Physician Gu. "
If he didn't see the large wolf dog's white fangs, Doctor Chen might not have said this. He wished that Gu Beiyue would die!
Gu Beiyue had become the head of the hospital at such a young age, so no matter what faction in the palace tried to pull him in. Not to mention the harem, there were many people in the hospital that wanted him to fall!
"The Empress Dowager sent you here?" Han Yunxi Coldly asked.
Doctor Chen did not want to admit it, but he could only nod.
"What has the old lady prepared for me?" Han Yunxi asked again.
"This official does not know. The Empress Dowager sent this official to report to the Princess Consort." Doctor Chen honestly replied.
"Is Imperial Physician Gu still kneeling?" Han Yunxi continued to ask.
"He's kneeling, he's kneeling."
Doctor Chen didn't dare to say much, but Han Yunxi asked carefully, "He's been kneeling for three days and three nights. Has he changed his clothes? Has he eaten? Has he drunk? Has he been in the rain the entire time? "
"Esteemed wangfei, you should hurry into the palace. This official is afraid that Imperial Physician Gu won't be able to hold on!" Doctor Chen was afraid that the empress dowager would be dissatisfied if Han Yunxi was late.
"Alright, this wangfei will enter the palace immediately!"
Han Yunxi really did leave as she spoke, leaving Doctor Chen, Steward Luo, and the large wolf dog in the main hall.
As soon as Han Yunxi left, Doctor Chen prepared to rise, but Steward Luo laughed and said, "Doctor Chen, esteemed wangfei hasn't told you to rise yet!"
When he finished, the large wolf dog even whimpered a few times. Doctor Chen wanted to cry, but had no tears. He could only kneel in place.
This time, Han Yunxi wasn't only accompanied by Zhao mama, but Chu Xifeng as well.
Inside the carriage, Han Yunxi was deep in thought with her eyes closed, her delicate face filled with solemnity. Zhao mama kept shooting looks at Chu Xifeng. She'd long disliked Imperial Physician Gu's visit to the estate to take esteemed wangfei's pulse.
Judging from Zhao mama's shrewd eyes, Imperial Physician Gu's gaze towards esteemed wangfei must be filled with affection.
Chu Xifeng was too lazy to pay Zhao mama any attention. In his heart, there was no one else in the world who could match His Highness Duke of Qin's charms. Esteemed wangfei was so love-struck that she'd probably never set her eyes on another man in this lifetime.
"Esteemed wangfei, what are you planning to do about this? Don't blame this old servant for not reminding you, but His Highness isn't in the capital. We can't afford to provoke those two in the palace, "Zhao mama said seriously.
Whether it was the empress dowager or Emperor Tianhui, they had plenty of ways to make things difficult for esteemed wangfei. Their noble statuses alone were enough to suppress everything.
The only reason esteemed wangfei had so few troubles was because His Highness was standing in front of her.
Without sufficient assurance, neither the empress dowager nor Emperor Tianhui would touch His Highness lightly, especially after the birthday banquet.
This could be said to be courteous, but it could also be said to be fearful.
Han Yunxi didn't speak, but her lips pursed into a tight line. Her face was filled with displeasure.
Soon enough, even Chu Xifeng couldn't help but remind her, "Esteemed wangfei, His Highness said to have you stay well at home."
Only then did Han Yunxi speak, her voice Cold. "Don't worry, I won't be the one in trouble. It'll only be someone else!"
Zhao mama and Chu Xifeng exchanged glances. This mistress of theirs was just as cold as His Highness Duke of Qin!
Was she that scary when she was ruthless, or had she been influenced by His Highness Duke of Qin after spending so much time with him?
Very soon, Han Yunxi arrived at the Palace of Heaven and Earth. As soon as she entered, she saw Gu Beiyue's thin, lonely back.
White jade steps, red walls, and green roof tiles. There was no one in sight except for him kneeling on the steps, his black hair and white robes still dripping with water!
Han Yunxi clenched her fists as her heart ached so much that she couldn't breathe!
She wanted to rush over and protect him.
But she couldn't do that in a place like this. She had to keep her cool.
Old Empress Dowager, this time I, Han Yunxi, will make you regret it until your intestines turn green!
Han Yunxi took a deep breath and strode over. She stopped by Gu Beiyue's side for less than a second before leaving without a word.
But Gu Beiyue only murmured, "Esteemed wangfei, this official is fine. You mustn't be impulsive."
Gu Beiyue's voice was so weak that it was barely audible!
Han Yunxi's heart ached even more. She didn't dare to look at him, afraid that she'd really lose all reason.
Gu Beiyue was such a good doctor and gentle person. What crime had he committed?
"Don't worry, I'll come out very quickly. I'll take you away as soon as I'm out!" Han Yunxi's tone was resolute!
She didn't stay any longer as she strode into the room.
Inside the room, the Empress Dowager was lying down on the chaise lounge. Seeing Han Yunxi and the others come in, Nurse Gui quickly made a shushing gesture, indicating for them to be quiet.
"She's been tossing and turning all night and has just fallen asleep!" Nurse Gui whispered.
"Tossing and turning all night?" Han Yunxi beat her at her own game and pretended that she didn't know anything.
"Isn't it the same old problem, insomnia! Doctor Gu gave her acupuncture and her entire body is in pain. "Nurse Gui explained.
"No wonder doctor Gu is kneeling outside." Han Yunxi said as she sat down on the side.
"Esteemed wangfei, the Empress Dowager might sleep for a bit longer." Nurse Gui whispered again.
How long was a bit longer?
Every second she slept, Gu Beiyue would have to kneel outside for a second longer!
"Let her sleep, I'll wait."
Han Yunxi's smile was especially beautiful, but her eyes flashed with a cold light.
Nurse Gui stood guard by the chaise lounge, Nurse Zhao by Han Yunxi's side, and Chu Tianyin outside. The room was silent.
Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager couldn't sit still after a while. Her body was itchy all over, but she couldn't pinpoint the exact spot.
Her original plan was to lie down until night and have Han Yunxi wait, but she couldn't take it anymore and sat up to scratch the itch.
Han Yunxi rose with a slight smile. "Esteemed Empress Dowager, you're awake?"
The Empress Dowager was itchy, but she couldn't take it anymore. She smiled back. "Yunxi's here? How long have you been here? Why didn't you wake me up? "
"I just arrived. Yunxi heard that you've been suffering from insomnia recently, so I came to the palace to take a look." Han Yunxi took the initiative to sit by the Empress Dowager's side. Those who didn't know would think they were intimate!
"Aye, this is an old illness of mine. It's gotten worse recently!" the Empress Dowager propped up her head with one hand and sighed helplessly.
"How is it so bad that even Imperial Physician Gu can't do anything about it?" Han Yunxi asked seriously.
"Hmph, this Gu Beiyue! After treating me with acupuncture for a few days, I'm aching all over! I don't even know how he became the Head Imperial Physician! "the Empress Dowager's face was full of anger.
But Han Yunxi only said, "Esteemed Empress Dowager, Yunxi didn't even know your insomnia was so serious. Yunxi has something good here! It's specially made to treat insomnia! "
Hearing Han Yunxi's words, the Empress Dowager's eyes flashed with shrewd light. She knew that it wouldn't be easy to ask Han Yunxi for something. Using Gu Beiyue as an example would be much easier!
She continued to act. "What good thing? Hurry and let me see it! "
