Chapter 43: Changing Hearts (1)
Just listen to what people say when they are drunk.
No need to delve .
In the next few days, heavy rain continued. No one knew why, but Yinyin seemed extremely scared when the heavy rain started. She also fell ill and had a high fever. Zhou Cheng specially sent Xue Han and Wang Ye to treat Yinyin. At night, the entire Zhaoren Hall was brightly lit...
"Brother Ye, Lord Xue, please eat something—"
Xiuying brought some midnight snacks. Wang Ye and Xue Han stayed by Yin Yin's side day and night, and they took turns to rest because Yin Yin's condition was a little beyond their common sense. Her high fever had not subsided, and she was not just in an ordinary coma, but in a deep sleep. She was unaware of the things around her and was immersed in her own world. No matter how they called her, she didn't feel anything.
"It's already the third day, and I didn't expect that even with the combined efforts of the two of us, there would be no improvement—"
Xue Han was a little frustrated. This was the first time he had encountered Yin Yin's condition. He had tried all the necessary methods but there was still no improvement, so he asked Wang Ye to help. After all, their medical skills were equally good, and two people together would always have more ideas than one person alone.
Wang Ye was very clear about Xue Han's words. Not to mention that it was Xue Han's first time, it was the same for him. This situation was truly unprecedented and it was the first time he had seen it, so it was so difficult to diagnose.
The two walked to the table. If there was a way, they would certainly try their best. For three consecutive days, they had no idea where to start. In order to have the physical strength to find the cause of the disease, they would not forget to eat and sleep. As long as Xiuying brought them, they would basically eat...
"Is the princess's condition still not improving?"
Xiuying asked as she served soup to the two of them.
"If there is any reaction, maybe we'll know how to start. We've tried everything since she fell ill in the past three days, but she still hasn't gotten any better. If she continues to be as weak as she is now, I'm afraid it will be beyond our control—"
"If even Brother Ye can't help, what should we do?"
Wang Ye and Xue Han remained silent about Xiuying's words. If they knew what to do, they wouldn't be so worried. Facing the food in front of them, they had no appetite...
"Eat something. There must be a way. If you and Brother Ye all fall down before that, what should the princess do?"
Xiuying was right. Wang Ye and Xue Han started to pick up their bowls and chopsticks and began to eat. Seeing this, Xiuying felt a little relieved. She became Yinyin's maid through Xue Han's introduction before Yinyin fell ill. She felt bad that such a thing happened just after she arrived.
While Wang Ye and Xue Han were having a meal, Xiuying went to Yin Yin to change the wet wipes she used to cool her head. Yin Yin was lying on the bed with red cheeks, heavy breathing, and a very painful expression, which was heartbreaking to see.
"Miss Wang, wake up quickly——"
Seeing the same pain and torture on her face, Xiuying also felt distressed.
"ah--"
The sudden thunder outside scared Xiuying. No wonder. Although there have been thunders these past few days, this time's thunder was so deafening that it shook the sky and caused tinnitus. It was also too sudden that anyone would be scared.
When Xiuying calmed down a little and looked at Yinyin again, the wet wipe on Yinyin's forehead slipped to the side. Xiuying reached out and picked up the fallen wet wipe and put it on Yinyin's head again...
"military--"
"Well?"
A weak and powerless voice, as loud as breathing, came out of Yinyin's mouth. Because there were intermittent thunder outside the house, Xiuying thought she had misheard.
"emperor--"
"Well, how is Yinyin doing?"
Zhou Cheng came. He came here as soon as he finished his work. It was raining heavily outside, so Zhou Cheng was soaked by the rain. Xiuying, who heard the sound, also hurried outside...
"Still no improvement?"
Seeing that Wang Ye and Xue Han remained silent, Zhou Cheng made some guesses, and Wang Ye and Xue Han agreed with his guess.
"Yin Yin——"
Knowing the result, Zhou Cheng took a deep breath and called Yin Yin's name in great pain.
Even though they saw Zhou Cheng was heartbroken, Wang Ye and Xue Han had nothing to say, let alone comfort him. Especially for doctors like them whose medical skills were better than others, they did not want to and would not comfort anyone with false words that were not absolutely certain.
It was precisely because of his trust in Xue Han and Wang Ye's medical skills that Zhou Cheng could see through their confidence in the matter. If they couldn't do it, Zhou Cheng believed that no one else would be able to do it either. After calming down, Zhou Cheng also sat down at the table, and Xiuying stepped forward to pour him tea...
"You two always work so hard for Yinyin that you forget to eat and sleep. I feel really guilty about that—"
Looking at the untouched food on the table and in Xue Han's bowls, Zhou Cheng felt deeply guilty. Although were doctors with superb medical skills, they were also mortals who needed rest and food. In the past three days, he had seen with his own eyes how they devoted themselves to Yin Yin and were so busy that they had no time to rest and eat. Therefore, Zhou Cheng saw all their dedication and understood it very well.
"We are just doing what we can. Your Majesty, don't worry—"
Xue Han comforted Zhou Cheng. Wang Ye didn't say anything. He could understand that this was the only person besides Zhao Ziheng who was so considerate to Yin Yin. But because he already had someone to be loyal to, even if he admired Zhou Cheng's feelings for Yin Yin, it could not shake him at all.
"Xue Han, according to you and Doctor Wang, will Yinyin's condition be the same as before——"
Zhou Cheng stopped talking halfway, but even if he didn't say it, Xue Han and Wang Ye knew what he wanted to say. How should they answer? The situation might not be that simple.
"minister--"
"Won't!"
Xue Han's words were overshadowed by Wang Ye's before they came out. After hearing Wang Ye's answer, should Zhou Cheng be pleased ? Otherwise?
"Based on the princess' current condition, she will not fall into a long sleep like before. If the current situation continues to deteriorate, she will never wake up again. Overall, it was a miracle that the princess was able to survive after falling into a long sleep before. I believe that there will be no such miracle again-"
Before Zhou Cheng could react, Wang Ye's words made his sense of relief disappear from his heart. The situation was far more serious than he had imagined and expected. Perhaps even if he had thought of it earlier, he just didn't want to admit it. He didn't want to accept this reality from the bottom of his heart. Wang Ye's words forced him to face this reality again.
