Part 1 - Yu Nu Jiao / Jade Slave / Enslaved By Love

Chapter 189 Stay With Me....

The imperial physician came in a hurry, but there was no trace of Cai Tianxi behind him. Xie Yun could not care for a moment, and her attention was attracted by Yin Ji.

The wound had been tortured several times and was already hideous. Xie Yun tilted her head slightly and looked at the bright moon outside.

The imperial physician was very surprised, and he cleaned it while sighing: "Your Majesty, please take care of your body. This wound has been torn repeatedly, and it will cause fire poison." 

Yin Ji seemed to be a little confused due to the high fever. After a while, he said vaguely: "It's okay."

The imperial physician still sighed, but he didn't want to talk anymore. After suturing the wound on the shoulder again, he was about to remove the bandage on the side of the neck, but before he touched it, he was blocked by Yin Ji: "Here... don't look."

The imperial physician was very puzzled. Since he was treating the wound, he naturally had to take a look. What's the point of looking at one and leaving one?

"Your Majesty, it's time to change the dressing here."

Yin Ji shook his head, as if he had pulled the wound, and frowned: "No need to change it today, you can go down."

The imperial physician couldn't help but look at Xie Yun, and it was obvious that he wanted her to persuade him.

But Xie Yun never looked back, she didn't want to meddle in other people's business.

She waited until the imperial physician gave up before she spoke: "Imperial physician, go to the east side hall to rest, and wait until the emperor's fever subsides before leaving."

The imperial physician sighed helplessly, bowed and retreated.

Xie Yun didn't want to be alone with Yin Ji, so she turned around and wanted to follow the doctor, but Yin Ji sat up on the bed: "Xie Yun, stay with me."

Xie Yun paused slightly: "I'll go out and boil the medicine..."

"I don't have to drink it."

Yin Ji said it firmly, but his voice was much lower than usual, "Just a little while."

Xie Yun's fingertips trembled, and her mind unconsciously flashed back to the way he fell in her arms just now, the fatigue and fragility between his eyebrows, and his bloody shoulders... Finally, her thoughts settled on the southern tour.

Yes, even if it was for the southern tour, she should coax Yin Ji now.

Besides, it was just a while.

She took a deep breath and slowly turned back. Seeing that Yin Ji's lips were chapped, she poured him a cup of warm water: "There is no good tea here, Your Majesty, please make do with it."

Yin Ji raised his hand to take it. Everything that Changxin Palace had suffered was diluted by this cup of water. He lowered his head and took a sip. His thoughts completely calmed down, but he immediately felt a little annoyed. He shouldn't drink this cup of water. If it was spilled on him, Xie Yun would come to wipe it for him.

But it would be a bit deliberate to spill it now.

He had no choice but to sigh and slowly drink up the cup of water.

"Why did the emperor sleep outside the door?"

Yin Ji's hand tightened, and he almost crushed the cup. After a while, he spoke: "I went to Changxin Palace for dinner. The Queen Mother... knew why my mother was gone."

In just a short sentence, no details were mentioned, but Xie Yun still opened her eyes wide.

The Queen Mother has been active these days. Although she didn't deliberately ask, she has noticed something. If the other party found out that Yin Ji had such a weakness, how could she not come to step on it?

Yin Ji should have a hard time with this meal in Changxin Palace.

Xie Yun's mind was full of thoughts, but she remained silent for a long time and still didn't ask a word. If Yin Ji wanted to tell her, he would tell her. If he didn't want to tell her, she didn't have to be sentimental.

The palace servant brought the medicine in. Yin Ji looked at the bowl of medicine and had another idea in his mind. When he took the bowl, his wrist trembled, but Xie Yun quickly held it.

"Be careful."

"...Okay."

Yin Ji sighed in his heart, and seeing Xie Yun looking at him without blinking, he had to put his thoughts back and drank the medicine honestly.

The medicine contained a sedative ingredient, and his body and mind were damaged, so he fell asleep soon, but he was not honest before going to bed and groped to grab Xie Yun's sleeve.

He was about to burn, and he didn't believe Xie Yun could still shake him off.

Xie Yun lowered her eyes and looked at the hand. After hesitating for a long time, she sighed. Yin Ji guessed right. She wouldn't bother with a patient.

In fact, she was not used to Yin Ji's appearance. She unconsciously wondered if he looked like this when he met bandits and was hacked to death.

He should be more haggard than now.

She lowered her eyes and looked at him. Her eyes unconsciously fell on his chest. Her fingertips trembled several times, but she couldn't raise her hand to touch it.

Let him have a good sleep. He looks very tired. The trip to Changxin Palace must have consumed a lot of his mind...

What happened? What would the queen dowager do?

She shook her head and forced herself to suppress her curiosity, but suddenly remembered another thing. Why hasn't Cai Tianxi come back yet?

Didn't he say he was going to urge the imperial physician? Why are all the imperial physicians resting in the East Side Hall, and there is no sign of him?

She gently tugged at her sleeves, but found that she couldn't pull them out, so she could only take off her outer robe. Suddenly, she remembered that Yin Ji had done the same thing not long ago, and was stunned for a moment.

But she came back to her senses soon, and laughed self-deprecatingly. People always like to judge others by themselves and think too much.

She retreated quietly. Because of the commotion just now, the candles in Qianyuan Palace that had just been extinguished were lit again. She called all the eunuchs over: "Go along the way to the Imperial Hospital to look for Eunuch Cai. He is old, don't bump into him on the road."

The eunuchs responded quickly, holding lanterns and soldiers went to look for him in several ways, but half an hour later, no one came back. The more Xie Yun thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. Cai Tianxi was Yin Ji's servant. It was impossible for him to walk around knowing that Yin Ji was sick.

Could something have happened?

She couldn't help but think of what Yin Ji had just said. The Queen Mother knew how Yin Ji's mother died... She had checked Yin Ji's past and made a fuss about it. Was she planning to break up with Yin Ji?

In this case, the first person to be used for demonstration must be someone close to Yin Ji.

Her heart sank, and she subconsciously looked back at Yin Ji. His face flushed. Obviously, the bowl of medicine did not reduce his fever. Waking him up at this time would only aggravate his condition.

Xie Yun rubbed her fingertips. Cai Tianxi was not bad to her, so she couldn't just sit back and watch.

"Come here."

The palace maid who was napping in the corridor woke up with a start: "Aunt, I'm here."

"Go to the palace gate to find Commander Zhong Baizhong and say that Qianyuan Palace has attracted thieves. Let him go to find Eunuch Cai in this name. Remember, no place can be missed."

The palace maid hurried away, but Xie Yun's heart could not be put down. She looked up at the bright moonlight, clasped her hands together, and gently closed her eyes.

Auntie, I feel guilty for only hastily paying homage to you on your death anniversary, but considering that Cai Tianxi is still loyal, please keep him safe and sound...
