The Empress Dowager was anxious to get Han Yunxi's' good thing '. She was originally sick, but now she was full of energy. There were still several places on her body that were itchy. She scratched them casually and didn't pay attention to them.
How could Han Yunxi take out her 'good thing' so easily?
She sneered in her heart, "Your Highness, my good thing can't be used casually. I have to take a look at your body's condition first."
"Aijia is tormented by insomnia. Not only can't sleep, but my whole body is also sore!" The Empress Dowager complained and took the initiative to take Han Yunxi's pulse.
Han Yunxi casually took her hand, "Judging from Your Highness's pulse, you must have undergone acupuncture for several days?"
Imperial Physician Chen had not returned to the palace, so how could the Empress Dowager know what happened to Imperial Physician Chen in the Duke of Qin's Manor? She secretly admired Han Yunxi's ability.
Although this girl was proficient in the art of poison, her medical skills were not weak. She knew that she had undergone acupuncture just by taking her pulse.
"En, what's wrong? Did you use the wrong needle? "The Empress Dowager asked slowly. Gu Beiyue was kneeling at the door. Han Yunxi was here, so she was not anxious with them.
"That's right. Judging from Your Highness's pulse, this needle was used very well. It won't be sore! What medicine did Your Highness take? "
Han Yunxi couldn't wait to take Gu Beiyue away immediately. She wouldn't give the Empress Dowager too much time.
The Empress Dowager immediately asked Nurse Gui to bring the prescription over. The prescription was written by Imperial Physician Chen, and Gu Beiyue had also taken a look. She wanted to see how capable Han Yunxi was to see the problem with the prescription.
Han Yunxi didn't look at it seriously. She just glanced at it and suddenly shouted, "Aiyo! Not good! "
"What's the matter?" The Empress Dowager didn't think so.
Han Yunxi exhaled a long breath, "It's troublesome! It's troublesome! "
Although she knew that Han Yunxi was probably just acting, the Empress Dowager was still a little nervous when she saw Han Yunxi's serious expression. She quickly asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem with this prescription? "
"There's no problem with the prescription, but if it's used together with my good stuff …"
Han Yunxi wanted to say something but stopped. Empress Dowager was anxious, "What? It can't be used anymore? "
She had been searching for the Medicine Fan for so many years, so she naturally knew that although it was a fan, it was also a medicine. It couldn't be used carelessly.
When Gu Beiyue started to give her acupuncture, he added Imperial Doctor Chen's medicine. Moreover, Gu Beiyue made it very clear that she must take medicine after acupuncture to avoid side effects. Two days ago, she secretly stopped taking medicine, so her whole body was sore. She had asked Imperial Doctor Chen in private if there would be a big problem with the side effects. Imperial Doctor Chen said that it was just sore and not a big problem.
She had originally thought that Han Yunxi would use the prescription to absolve Gu Beiyue of his crime, but who would have thought that the prescription would actually affect the Medicine Fan that she had been longing for?
It would be strange if she wasn't nervous!
"Empress Dowager, did you really take this prescription?" Han Yunxi frowned and looked very serious.
"I really did!" the empress dowager grew serious as well.
"This …" Han Yunxi's face was full of worry as she muttered to herself, "It's going to be troublesome."
The Medicine Fan she had longed for for over a decade was about to be hers. If she couldn't use it because of a problem like this, wouldn't the empress dowager feel stifled to death?
She was truly frightened by Han Yunxi's words. "Yunxi, just what happened?"
"It's very troublesome! Empress Dowager, how much medicine have you used so far? "
Han Yunxi's solemn face emanated an aura of authority that no one dared to defy. The empress dowager didn't even think before replying truthfully, "I started with acupuncture and used three days. I used acupuncture and moxibustion for the next two days, but I didn't use any medicine!"
At this moment. Han Yunxi exhaled. "So that's how it is!"
"Just what happened? Tell me! " The empress dowager was anxious, and so was Gui mama on the side. "Esteemed wangfei, don't sigh anymore. Hurry up and tell us, just what happened?"
Unexpectedly, Han Yunxi's worried expression suddenly changed into a resplendent smile. "There's no problem since I didn't take any medicine for the last two days! It's very fortunate, Empress Dowager! "
"Then that's good, that's good," the empress dowager exhaled and smiled at Gui mama. Both master and servant rejoiced.
Han Yunxi's eyes flashed with Icy light as she said coldly, "Esteemed Empress Dowager, Imperial Physician Gu must have told you that you can't stop taking medicine during acupuncture and moxibustion, or else it'll cause your entire body to ache. You stopped taking medicine for two days and even had Imperial Physician Gu kneel outside for three days and three nights. Isn't that inappropriate?"
At these words, the empress dowager's smiling expression changed. She finally realized that she'd been tricked by Han Yunxi just then!
She angrily slapped the table. "What a Han Yunxi, you dare to trick me!"
Han Yunxi was not afraid as she stood up, "How did this concubine trick the Empress Dowager?"
The empress dowager was speechless, not knowing what to say.
She never thought that after struggling in the harem for so many years, she would fall into the hands of a maid like this. The empress dowager was not willing. However, Han Yunxi's trap was set very well. She could not find any loopholes, so she could not refute it.
"Esteemed Empress Dowager, since Imperial Physician Gu isn't wrong, shouldn't you let him go?" Han Yunxi asked again.
Although she had fallen into Han Yunxi's trap, the empress dowager was not easy to deal with. She coldly said, "This widow found Gu Beiyue to treat my insomnia. If he doesn't have the ability to treat it, then he can only kneel outside!"
"Esteemed Empress Dowager, if this concubine remembers correctly, Gu Beiyue's grandfather treated the empress dowager in the past and gave her a prescription called the Medicine Fan." Han Yunxi coldly said.
"So what if he did?" The empress dowager knew that Han Yunxi had done her research. She knew that Han Yunxi had deliberately taken out the Medicine Fan at the birthday banquet!
"The prescription has already been given. It's the Imperial Pharmacy's responsibility that the medicine wasn't found. What does it have to do with the doctor who treated the patient?" Han Yunxi pressed on. The time she wasted here was Gu Beiyue's life!
When she saw Han Yunxi's cold expression and sharp gaze, the empress dowager couldn't help but think of Long Fei Ye. Although the two had different temperaments, they were very similar when it came to serious matters.
Today, she had truly witnessed Han Yunxi's eloquence and was completely speechless.
However, she quickly pointed her spear at Han Yunxi, "Han Yunxi, what kind of tone is this? How dare you speak to this widow like this! "
Han Yunxi ignored her arrogance and coldly said, "Esteemed Empress Dowager, the good thing this concubine is talking about is the Medicine Fan, but this concubine came in a hurry and didn't bring it with her. How about the Empress Dowager find someone to go back with this concubine to get it!"
The empress dowager had waited for so long and done so much just for Han Yunxi to say these words!
The unhappiness from before was thrown to the side and she couldn't hide the pleasant surprise in her eyes. She quickly said, "Nurse Gui, go back with the Princess Consort!"
"Since Imperial Physician Gu isn't guilty, can he also leave?" Han Yunxi asked again.
The empress dowager only wanted the Medicine Fan. Moreover, Gu Beiyue had already knelt for three days and three nights, so she didn't want to cause any more trouble and delay things any longer.
"Let him leave, otherwise this widow will feel annoyed just by looking at him!" She waved her hand in disdain.
Han Yunxi's eyes flashed with cold light as she suppressed her anger and turned to leave!
As soon as Han Yunxi left, the empress dowager scratched her arms and legs again. Very soon, the itchiness disappeared without a trace. She didn't notice anything strange and was waiting with all her heart for Nurse Gui to bring back the Medicine Fan.
Han Yunxi rushed towards Gu Beiyue as soon as she emerged and hooked his arm over her shoulder to help him up.
Gu Beiyue's entire body was limp and weak. He didn't have any strength left, but he still tried his best to speak. "Esteemed wangfei … you can't … you can't."
"Shut up!" Han Yunxi scolded unhappily. This guy's already so weak, but he's still not saving his strength. What's he blabbering for?
Chu Xifeng watched from the sidelines, at a loss for what to do. Zhao mama chased after them and rushed forward to help. "Esteemed wangfei, let this old servant do it, let this old servant do it!"
Chu Xifeng recovered his wits and rushed forward. He was strong enough to snatch Gu Beiyue from Han Yunxi's hands and support him firmly.
At the same time, Gu Beiyue, who'd been holding on, finally fainted.
Zhao mama silently exhaled. Thank goodness His Highness didn't see what happened just then. Otherwise, both she and Chu Xifeng would be in trouble.
Soon enough, Zhao mama saw Gu Beiyue's face. His gaunt features were so pale that they were turning purple. His lips were completely colorless.
His features were clear and handsome, but his face was so still that it seemed like he'd never wake up again.
Zhao mama couldn't help but feel pained. Just how did this child manage to kneel for three days and three nights?
Even a man like Chu Xifeng couldn't bear to watch any longer. He took off his outer robes and draped them over Gu Beiyue's shoulders.
On the side, Han Yunxi's eyes had long turned red. She looked coldly into the room and said, "Let's go!"
Honorable Empress Dowager Li, what do all those years of insomnia count for? Your nightmares have only just begun!
Han Yunxi directly took Gu Beiyue back to the Duke of Qin's estate and settled him in one of the guest rooms. A pageboy immediately helped him change into clean clothes, only to discover that both of his knees were bruised.
She left Gui mama to wait in the guest hall while Han Yunxi took Gu Beiyue's pulse. Then she wrote a prescription for Zhao mama to boil it.
Judging from his pulse, Gu Beiyue had not only caught a severe cold, but starved himself to death. His body's energy was almost depleted!
It wasn't a great loss of vitality, but a serious injury!
This was the first time Han Yunxi had taken Gu Beiyue's pulse so seriously. She discovered that this fellow's body was very, very weak. Just as he'd said, he was a medicine jar.
It was impossible to imagine how such a weak body had managed to hold out for three days and three nights.
While waiting for the medicine, Han Yunxi ignored Gui mama and used acupuncture on Gu Beiyue to drive away the cold and preserve his vitality.
Lil Thing had been sneaking out to play for the past few days. As soon as it reached the gates, it smelled its familiar scent and was overjoyed. It shot like an arrow towards the guest room.
However, when it excitedly flew in through the window and saw the young master lying unconscious on the bed, it was immediately stunned.
It stood there for a long time before rubbing its eyes. When it looked again, it rushed over and ran around Gu Beiyue, squeaking non-stop.
"Don't be noisy!" Han Yunxi was very fierce.
Lil Thing immediately shut its mouth. Its face was filled with confusion as it sniffed Gu Beiyue's body and looked at Han Yunxi.
It had just sent medicine to the gentleman a few days ago. How did it become like this? The gentleman had been seriously injured for so long. Even if he had recovered from the medicine, his body would still need a period of time to recuperate!
Who could tell it what had happened?
"Squeak squeak …" Lil Thing suddenly cried out.
"Didn't I tell you to be quiet?" Han Yunxi angrily reprimanded with a terrifying seriousness.
Lil Thing pursed its lips and sat by the side to watch. As it watched, tears slowly flowed down.
Gentleman, what happened to you? Can't you smile a little?
