Chapter 36: Forgetting (2)
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty——"
A eunuch rushed in hurriedly.
"What's up?"
Zhou Cheng was certainly angry at the eunuch's recklessness, but he wanted to know what had happened to make this eunuch so reckless.
"Yes, the news just came back from the Imperial Mausoleum—"
"What? Tell me, what's the news?"
When Zhou Cheng heard about the imperial mausoleum, he immediately became very cautious, fearing that it would be the same as last time...
"Imperial Physician Xue is coming back with a few people. They have already arrived at the palace gate—"
The eunuch did not report the situation clearly to Zhou Cheng. Zhou Cheng was so smart, how could he not understand the reason?
"Han Ji, take my token and go to Gyeongbokgung Palace now. I have something to ask Imperial Physician Xue, so I'll leave first—"
Zhou Cheng took out a token from his waist bag and handed it to Han Ji before leaving quickly. Han Ji looked at Zhou Cheng blankly after receiving the token. When Zhou Cheng disappeared from her sight, a hint of coldness flashed through Han Ji's eyes. This aura seemed familiar...
North City Mansion.
"Your Majesty, you cannot go yet—"
"Let me go, what do you mean you can't go?"
Zhao Ziheng also received the news from Wang Ye that Yin Yin had woken up. Despite the obstruction of his subordinates, he insisted on going to see Yin Yin. His subordinates tried their best to stop him out of worry.
"Your Majesty, please be considerate of your status. They have already gone to the palace. If you go there at this time, it will definitely cause a commotion—"
This guard seemed to disregard his own identity and position, and he held Zhao Ziheng's feet tightly. Every word he said was reasonable and he was considering the overall situation. This guard was one of the personal guards arranged for Zhao Ziheng by Zhao Ziyan, and his name was Lin Yicheng.
“Tsk!”
Under the persuasion of his bodyguard Lin Yicheng, Zhao Ziheng finally came to his senses. It was true that if he went now, he might not be able to see Yinyin. Moreover, Yinyin would be extremely weak after waking up suddenly. Going there would only disturb her. Zhao Ziheng had no choice but to give up...
"Get up—"
"Ah, yes!"
Seeing that Zhao Ziheng had calmed down, Lin Yicheng stood up with relief.
"I'm sorry for making you worry!"
Zhao Ziheng apologized to his subordinate Lin Yicheng for his impulsiveness. If he was wrong, he was wrong, and he should not use his status to pressure others.
"No, you don't need to apologize—"
"Wrong is wrong. I was a little impulsive just now. If it weren't for you, it would have caused unnecessary disputes later."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
Lin Yicheng suddenly knelt down on one knee and apologized to Zhao Ziheng.
"Hurry up, what crime have you committed? I should be thanking you—"
Zhao Ziheng immediately helped Lin Yicheng up .
"I have blocked the emperor's way, and I deserve death—"
"Everything should be judged on its own merits. Thanks to you, I didn't make a big mistake this time. I should reward you."
"I am terrified!"
"Well, General Zhao and I both think highly of you. From now on, you will be my personal bodyguard. If I make a mistake, just tell me. I will never punish you—"
"Yes, thank you for your grace. I will swear to be loyal to the emperor until death!"
Lin Yicheng's behavior won Zhao Ziheng's favor. He might be able to remain calm about other things, but it was hard to say about Yin Yin. Someone had to stop his impulse to avoid irreversible consequences.
The royal palace [Longjing Palace].
Xue Han secretly sent Yin Yin to the palace. Zhou Cheng, who received the news, immediately arranged to go to his own palace [Longjing Palace]. After arriving at [Longjing Palace], Xue Han and Wang Ye simultaneously began to diagnose Yin Yin. Because Yin Yin's condition was so severe that Zhou Cheng was a little overwhelmed, he stood aside and stared blankly at Yin Yin, whose face had slightly turned red as she lay on the bed...
"What do you think?"
"Well, as I guessed before, the pulse is gradually stabilizing and moving towards normal—"
Wang Ye and Xue Han both came to the same conclusion, which was good news.
"Xue Han, is she really awake?"
Because he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zhou Cheng still couldn't believe it. Yin Yin was still sleeping. Although he could feel Yin Yin's breathing was even, he was still afraid that all this was just a dream...
"Your Majesty, the princess has really woken up. She just slept for too long and is a little exhausted after waking up. I believe she will wake up soon."
"But is it okay to take her away from the ice cellar like this? What if——"
"It's okay. The princess's health is gradually recovering. The ice cellar is just to ensure that her condition does not worsen. If she continues to stay there once she gets better, it will only have a counterproductive effect. Fortunately, the 'Fire Soul Jade' played a big role in the princess's body and prevented her from being attacked by the cold air when she was awake. Otherwise, she would not be safe even if she woke up."
Xue Han and Wang Ye each said something to dispel Zhou Cheng's doubts. Also, in order to allow the 'Fire Soul Jade' to better protect Yin Yin, it was ground into powder and mixed with medicine for Yin Yin to take. After being absorbed like medicine, Yin Yin is now very cold-resistant, but it is not ruled out that the effect of the 'Fire Soul Jade' will fade in the future...
"So, Yinyin is really fine now?"
"That's right, given the current situation—"
Xue Han's words were rather euphemistic. It was only for the moment. Yin Yin had just woken up and was still unsure of anything. There was no guarantee that she would not fall down again due to the stimulation...
"...I know, but what on earth is going on? I still don't understand why Yin Yin suddenly--"
Zhou Cheng's doubts were normal. Yin Yin couldn't possibly wake up for no reason. Wang Ye and Xue Han looked at each other, and then they knelt on one knee to kowtow to Zhou Cheng...
