It was pitch black all around. Yan Wan opened her eyes dazedly and felt pain all over her body.

The candlestick held above her head felt as heavy as a thousand pounds. The scalding wax dripped down, flowing onto her hair, cheeks, and burning her eyelids, causing her to cry in pain.

Her hands were so sore and painful that they had lost feeling, but she knew that if she put her hands down, someone would rush over and twist her chest hard.

Recently, the palace maids in Qixiang Palace seemed to have found a fun game. They always found excuses to twist and pinch her. When they saw her crying in pain, they would happily turn around and ask Aunt Zhenshu for credit and favor.

She couldn't show this hidden injury to anyone and could only grit her teeth and endure it.

She didn't even dare to cry, because if she showed any sign of weakness, the eunuchs who were watching her closely would think that she was scared of being beaten and would not dare to resist, and would immediately twist their hands to her chest.

This is her last bit of dignity!

Get up if you fall and try your best to maintain the standard posture. Trapped in this Qixiang Palace, the only way to save your life is to be obedient.

It's good that she is not dead and is still alive.

"Ying'er, go wash up quickly and come here. The master has woken up and needs you to bring water for washing his face."

"Yes!"

She hastily put down the candlestick, falling several times before she almost crawled out of the main hall.

In the servants' wing, some palace maids were sleeping soundly. When they heard her accidentally bumping into the door frame, they widened their eyes and cursed, "Are you looking for death? Are you itching for trouble again? How about I find a eunuch to help you relax?"

Yan Wan carefully smiled and said in a flattering tone: "I'm sorry, I'll speak softly, please don't be angry, sister."

Looking at the palace maid cursing and falling asleep, she stared at the back of her head and touched the porcelain pillow with her cold fingertips.

Just one hit would kill her alive!

Another maid muttered, "This bitch, I'm afraid she has been wanting the eunuch to pinch her for a long time! Otherwise, why would she deliberately make us angry all day long?"

"That must be the case! Fortunately, Lady Hai told our queen that she was so young and knew how to seduce the emperor. She was very lewd and asked us to keep a close eye on her! Otherwise, if she really met the emperor, our queen would be completely embarrassed!"

Yanwan's heart trembled and her chest felt sweet.

original!

It turns out that Hai Lan didn't let her go in Concubine Jia's palace!

No wonder!

No wonder she was only bullied and scolded by Concubine Jia at the beginning, but suddenly one day she couldn't even go out the door!

……

"Quick! Hurry and lift Lady Wei up. If this blood gets into her trachea, she'll be dead!"

The imperial physician exclaimed.

The palace maids and eunuchs hesitated for a moment, and at this moment, Jinzhong rushed to the bedside and quickly helped Yanwan up.

His fingertips were trembling: "And then?"

The imperial physician quickly took out the golden needle and said, "Hold it steady, eunuch!"

The veins on Jinzhong's hand popped out: "Don't worry, give me the needle!"

In a panic, he managed to squeeze out a bit of his attention and looked at Hongli to apologize: "Your Majesty, I have overstepped my authority..."

Hongli said in a deep voice: "Listen to the doctor's instructions. If Concubine Wei can escape danger, I will reward you handsomely!"

Jinzhong hurriedly thanked the master: "Yes! I thank the master for his grace!"

He could no longer hold it in, and he lowered his eyes and tried hard to control his emotions. He lowered his head as much as possible so that the brim of his hat covered his face, and respectfully retreated, trying not to touch Yanwan's back.

If you ignore his bloodshot eyes and red eye sockets, he is truly a respectful and perceptive eunuch who is only concerned with sharing his master's worries.

The imperial physician gave her several injections in succession, and Yan Wan suddenly coughed a few times, vomiting out all the blood that was trapped in her chest.

The imperial physician observed Yan Wan's complexion and felt her pulse, then heaved a sigh of relief: "It's all right, eunuch, you can put the nobleman down now."

Jinzhong didn't dare to look up: "Okay."

He carefully put Yan Wan down, suppressed the urge to look at her a few more times, walked behind the emperor and stood firmly.

He felt Li Yu's stern gaze, but so what?

If Lord Wei died here today, he would die with him!

Empress Fucha ignored the obstruction of Su Lian and Lian Xin, and insisted on coming over from the soft couch next to her. She staggered and sat down beside Yan Wan. Looking at Yan Wan's tearful eyes, her eyes turned red and tears fell.

"What on earth did Mrs. Koriyet say to her to make this child so angry? This is going to kill her!"

She was angry and anxious.

"Yan Wan, my dear child, do you really want others to piss you off to death, making your loved ones sad and your enemies happy?"

Yanwan's eyelashes trembled, as if she was trying hard to open her eyes, but her tears flowed even more, as if she was possessed by a ghost and couldn't wake up at all.

Empress Fucha was anxious: "Qi Ru, please think of a way. Is she in a state of terror?"

Qi Ru's face was full of solemnity. He opened his mouth several times before thinking of the right words: "Lady Wei was tortured too hard, leaving behind a demon in her heart. In the past, it was hidden so deep that no one could detect it, but a demon in the heart is a demon in the heart. Once it was detonated by something, it would be like this now. And her body..."

Empress Fucha had difficulty breathing: "She is not feeling well either?"

Hongli held the queen's hand with a serious face and said, "Just say whatever you want to say. Don't scare the queen!"

Qi Ru had no choice but to tell the truth: "Lady Wei is already twenty-two years old, but because of the long-term exposure to cold and hunger, she was only sixteen or seventeen when she suffered the damage. It was the time when she was growing up, which led to her growth stagnation and excessive loss. I'm afraid... I'm afraid she won't live long in the future."

Empress Fucha's eyes went dark: "It's all my fault! I allowed Concubine Jia to take her away!"

Hongli hurriedly hugged her to prevent her from falling: "Queen! Take care of yourself. Concubine Wei has always admired you. If you get sick because of her, she will definitely blame herself."

He looked at Yan Wan's eyes which were full of tears, and realized for the first time that a person could shed so many tears.

He always saw her as bright as a little sun, with a satisfied smile on her face. Even eating a delicious cake could make her happy for a while. If he and the queen praised her, she would be happy for several days.

He never knew that this person who loved to laugh so much was actually suffering from depression.

Hongli looked at Qi Ru and said, "Lady Wei has always been innocent and cheerful. How could she be so depressed?"

Qi Ru replied respectfully: "Some people with depression are the same inside and outside, with both body and emotions blocked and depressed. Another type is like Concubine Wei, who is afraid that people around her will worry, so she smiles whenever she sees someone. The more depressed she is, the more she pretends to be happy.

In fact, the former is not so bad. After all, as long as the symptoms are revealed, people around the patient and doctors can see it, and they will be more considerate of the patient's mood and body and take better care of him.

For example, Concubine Wei, others just think she is kind-hearted, not fussy, innocent and cheerful. Let alone asking the imperial physician to see a doctor or prescribe medicine, even if it hurts her feelings, she will think it's okay and just coax her."

Hongli felt sad after hearing this: "She is too sensible."

Then he felt a little embarrassed.

He just indulged Ruyi in humiliating Yanwan. Didn't he also think that Yanwan had a good temper, remembered to eat but not to be beaten, and was a silly girl who only knew how to be grateful and would shine with a little sunshine?

He said to Qi Ru: "Just tell me what to do."

Qi Ru said, "I will prescribe some liver-soothing and depression-relieving medicine. Take it first. Concubine Wei will probably have a high fever in the second half of the night if she is like this. We can lower her temperature then. If Concubine Wei can survive tonight, even if she is not in good health in the future, she can keep taking expensive medicines. She will recover one day."

Hongli was stunned: "You mean, Concubine Wei...may not survive tonight?"
