Yi Xin as a concubine

"Baoer, Baoer, are you in the house? It's time for breakfast, are you up?" Zhao Xian stood at the door, knocking and asking.

"Bao'er, Bao'er." She called out several times but no one answered, so she called someone else.

"Lianrong, Lianrong, are you in there?" Zhao Xian's voice became louder and louder.

Lianrong heard the cry, opened her eyes dazedly, moved her stiff neck, and tried to get up, but fell to the ground with a thud. Her legs seemed to have lost consciousness because they had remained in the same position for too long.

"Bang!" The door was kicked open and several figures rushed in quickly.

Wei Yu and Zhao Xian were the first to enter the room. As soon as they saw Baoer half-lying on the couch, wearing only pajamas, without any warm blankets covering her. Her face was frighteningly pale, and she was completely silent.

Zhao Xian was so scared that he didn't dare to move forward. Wei Yu was braver and strode over. He carefully checked Xin Baoer's breath and felt a faint heat. He breathed a sigh of relief.

Wei Yu picked her up and quickly put her on the bed. He quickly pulled the quilt over and wrapped her tightly. After doing all this, he lowered his eyes and looked at Lianrong who had just been helped up by Qinghe and Yingge, and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

Lianrong was already at a loss when she saw the young lady in this state, and when asked about it, she stammered and couldn't say anything.

"Don't worry about those things for now, go get a doctor, quickly!" Zhao Xian ran over and took Xin Baoer's cold hand, and ordered anxiously.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Lianrong answered almost immediately, and then tried to break free from Qinghe and Yingge's support.

"Oh, you can't go anywhere like this, let me go!" Yingge was lively and nimble, and after she said that, she let go of Lianrong and ran out.

During the waiting time, everyone fell silent, only Zhao Xian kept rubbing Xin Baoer's hands, trying to make her warmer.

Doctor Han was dragged here by Yingge, jogging all the way, and she was still a little out of breath when she entered the house.

After calming her breathing, the Korean female doctor stepped forward, looked at the scar on Xin Baoer's face and shook her head, then calmed down and took Xin Baoer's pulse.

"Did she suffer any kind of stimulation? She was exhausted, worried too much, and the cold evil entered her body. The most troublesome thing is that she seemed to be self-isolating and fell into a deep coma."

The Korean female doctor took the patient's pulse again uncertainly, and spoke hesitantly while thinking carefully.

"Self-isolation? What does that mean?"

"You can't wake up?"

"Doctor Han, please wake her up!"

Zhao Xian was so anxious that tears came out. She kept talking and begging, as if only this could make her feel at ease.

"Can we wake her up?" Wei Yu asked expectantly.

"I can only try." Doctor Han replied uncertainly.

The Korean female doctor took out a silver needle and inserted it into Xin Baoer's Ren Zhong acupoint. Everyone held their breath and watched nervously.

However, Xin Baoer showed no signs of waking up. Doctor Han frowned and tried a few more acupuncture points, but the results were still disappointing.

"What should I do?" Zhao Xian was anxious.

"Perhaps we can try to use medicine combined with acupuncture." Doctor Han thought for a moment and said, "I need some precious medicinal materials, but there are so few in the palace..."

The best medicinal herbs in the palace are all in the Imperial Hospital. They cannot leave the Chuxiu Palace. Even if they can go out, they don’t know which way the gate of the Imperial Hospital faces. They don’t know who to ask for help.

"I will go find Aunt Yu."

Lianrong ran out after she finished speaking. She was given to Xin Baoer by Aunt Yu herself, so naturally she was somewhat respectable in front of Aunt Yu, and everyone couldn't help but reveal some hope.

Zhao Xian stayed by Xin Baoer's side, talking to her non-stop, hoping to wake her up.

Wei Yu paced back and forth between the door and the bed, hoping that Lianrong would come back soon.

Time passed by, and everyone was waiting anxiously...

"Empress Xi has arrived!"

The sharp voice of the eunuch came from the gate of the courtyard. Everyone's expressions were startled. Soon all the girls in Yaoguang Courtyard gathered in the courtyard, kowtowing and saluting in confusion.

Xin Huang'er didn't have time to pay attention to these girls with different thoughts and eyes rolling around. She quickly walked through the crowd and, under the guidance of Lianrong, came to Xin Bao'er's door.

Standing at the door and looking at her eighth sister lying unconscious on the bed, Xin Huang'er almost lost her dignity as a queen. Xi'er, who was serving beside her, held her queen tightly and did not let go until she sent her to the bed and waited for her to sit down beside the bed.

"Eighth sister, eighth sister, second sister is here to see you, eighth sister."

Xin Huang'er called out several times but received no response. She couldn't help but panic and quickly called the director of the Imperial Hospital over.

"Master Yuanzheng, please take a look at my sister."

"Your Majesty, please be patient. I will go and see Miss Xin's condition first." The old voice of the court director was very respectful. He still remembered that it was this concubine who helped him out of trouble in the Prince's Mansion. Now it was his time to return the favor, so naturally he did his best.

The old nurse had just washed his hands before he slowly took Xin Baoer's pulse.

After a long time, the old man withdrew his hand.

"How is it?" Xin Huang'er asked anxiously, and everyone looked at him expectantly.

"Miss Xin's illness is not serious. She just caught a cold from staying up late. The evil wind entered her body. She will be fine after taking a few doses of medicine. Her weak body can be slowly recuperated. It won't hurt the root. The most troublesome thing now is that she has closed herself off from all communication with the outside world. No matter how good the medicine is, it won't get into her!"

The old hospital official was shaking his head. He was helpless in this situation.

Xin Huang'er frowned, thought for a moment and said, "We can't let my sister lie there like this. We must find a way to wake her up."

She turned to look at the director, "Master Director, is there any way to wake my sister up?"

The director hesitated for a moment and said, "I can try acupuncture, but I can't guarantee it will be effective."

Xin Huang'er gritted her teeth and said, "Let's give it a try! As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we can't give up."

The director nodded, took out the silver needle, and gently pierced Xin Baoer's acupuncture points. Everyone watched nervously, hoping that it would work this time.

After a while, Xin Baoer's fingers moved slightly. Zhao Xian shouted in surprise: "Baoer, Baoer, wake up!"

However, Xin Baoer just moved a few times and did not really wake up.

Yuan Zheng sighed, "Alas, it seems that we can only wait until she is willing to wake up."

Xin Huang'er closed her eyes to hide the fear in her eyes and said, "Thank you both ladies for today. I would like to thank you both ladies on behalf of my sister. I would like to stay alone with my sister for a while..."

"Yes, then we'll take our leave first. We still have to gather at the square and come back to see Baoer at noon."

Seeing that Zhao Xian wanted to say something else, he was stopped by Wei Yu. The two of them bowed respectfully and retreated.

The door was closed, blocking out all the prying eyes from outside, and Xin Huang'er called Lianrong in.

"Tell me, what happened to your girl?" Xin Huang'er's eyes fell on Xin Bao'er's face. Although the wound had already scabbed over, it still looked hideous, which made her, as an elder sister, feel distressed.

"Your Majesty..." Lianrong knelt obediently and explained to Xin Huang'er everything she knew about Xin Bao'er in the simplest terms possible, including the excitement of last night.

"It seems that this is the crux of the problem. She doesn't want to face those bad things, so she subconsciously chooses to protect herself in this way." Yuan Zheng concluded after listening to Lianrong's explanation.

"Is there any way to crack it?" Xin Huang'er asked immediately.

"Miss Xin has been protected too well since she was a child. She feels uneasy and scared when she is in such a complicated environment. As long as she feels safe, she should be willing to wake up."

Yuan Zheng said slowly, and then hesitantly said: "In fact, if we can leave here..."

The old dean didn't continue speaking. Xin Huang'er's eyes flickered, as if she was also considering the feasibility of this suggestion, but in the end she just sighed helplessly, smiled bitterly and shook her head.

If someone else did it, maybe it could work, but not her sister Xin Huang'er. In order to avoid entering the emperor's harem, she framed the prince who was not married at the time, causing the prince to anger His Majesty. The father and son have had a knot over women for so many years. If she took her sister away from Chuxiu Palace secretly, without anyone else, just the Crown Princess who kept an eye on her and found fault with her every day would not let the three of them have an easy time.

This matter still needs to be considered in the long term.
