The delicate little cabbage was pushed by the old emperor

Emperor Yong'an looked at her bandaged legs and didn't know what to do. He wanted to untie them to check her injuries but was afraid of hurting her instead.

After hesitating for a while, he finally gave up and touched her pale little face in her sleep, only to find that her skin was extremely hot at this moment.

Emperor Yong'an was startled and asked anxiously, "How long has she been sleeping?"

Hearing the emperor's anxious tone, Zhiyue quickly replied, "The young lady has been sleeping for six or seven hours."

"She slept for such a long time and you didn't even wake her up? Doesn't that mean she hasn't had lunch or dinner?" Emperor Yong'an's face turned cold instantly.

But this was her personal maid, and he didn't know what their relationship was, so he couldn't punish her.

But these two people were so negligent towards their master.

Seeing that the emperor was so anxious, Zhiyue didn't care that the emperor looked bad at the moment, and hurried forward to check on the young lady.

The skin beneath her palms was burning hot, frighteningly hot. Her breathing became heavy. "The young master came to see the young lady just before the party. At that time, the young lady was still normal. The fever must have just started not long ago."

Emperor Yong'an was relieved when he heard this. If the fever had caused him to be in a coma for so long, then the situation would be very critical.

"Go get her coat."

Caiyue's mind had already gone blank, and she hurriedly went to get the young lady's clothes.

Emperor Yong'an took the clothes from her hand and helped Shen Leyan put them on himself.

Then he spread out his long sleeves, gently picked up Shen Leyan from the bed, stood up and walked out the door.

Zhiyue and Caiyue were stunned when they saw this, and although they didn't dare to stop him, they immediately stood up and followed.

Emperor Yong'an suddenly stopped at the door and said, "I will take her to see the imperial physician. Only one of you can follow, and one will stay to guard the tent."

Upon hearing this, Zhiyue and Caiyue looked at each other and decided tacitly that Zhiyue would go and take care of the young lady, while Caiyue would be responsible for waiting in the tent.

Before leaving, Zhiyue hurriedly instructed: "If the young master comes over, it is better to stop him first and not let him know."

Caiyue nodded with red eyes: "Leave it to me, sir. I'll wait for you to come back."

Zhiyue comforted Caiyue, let go of her hand, and hurriedly followed Baoshun away.

Emperor Yong'an carried Shen Leyan straight back to his tent. Baoshun had already ordered someone to invite the imperial physician on the way.

As soon as he settled Shen Leyan, Doctor Zhang rushed over. Before he could pay his respects, he was stopped by Emperor Yong'an, who hurriedly asked him to check Shen Leyan's condition.

Doctor Zhang was slightly startled when he saw Miss Shen, whom he had just treated in the morning, lying on the emperor's bed. His hand that took the emperor's pulse was a little nervous.

"What's the matter?" the emperor asked with a frown.

Doctor Zhang frowned. After repeatedly checking the pulse, he said in a deep voice, "A deep and fine pulse indicates Yin deficiency, while a fine pulse indicates fever. Young lady has been overly tired recently, caught a cold wind, and was frightened today. This has caused evil spirits to enter the body, leading to a fever."

The emperor quickly asked, "What should we do now?"

Everyone was waiting anxiously for Doctor Zhang to speak.

"Your Majesty, the main focus right now is to dissipate the heat. I will prescribe some medicine to treat the cold. Once the young lady's fever subsides, she can rest well for a few days."

"You can first apply a wet compress on your forehead, and then give her some more water to drink. Remember not to go out in the wind for the next few days, otherwise it will make the cold worse."

Seeing that Imperial Physician Zhang was about to go down to prescribe medicine, Zhiyue hesitantly said, "Your Majesty, the young lady's leg has been rubbed and is bleeding quite badly. I have already applied the medicine that Eunuch Baoshun sent last time. Does she need the Imperial Physician to prescribe another dose?"

Doctor Zhang was stunned again. When he diagnosed Miss Shen in the morning, she seemed to be unharmed. How come she was not only suffering from a cold and fever but also seriously injured at night?

Emperor Yong'an was also hesitant when he learned of her leg injury. He pondered for a moment and asked, "Will the blood-activating and pain-relieving ointment I asked Baoshun to bring the other day be of any use to her leg injury?"

Doctor Zhang originally wanted to examine the injuries before making a diagnosis, but seeing the emperor's expression, he knew that the injuries were likely to cause some discomfort. After careful consideration, he said, "That ointment is very effective for common bruises and injuries. It can dredge the meridians, promote blood circulation, and relieve pain."

"But if Miss Shen's wound is already bleeding severely, I'm afraid the effect will be minimal."

Zhiyue quickly replied, "My young lady is still in unbearable pain after taking this medicine. I beg the imperial physician to find another way to help my young lady."

Doctor Zhang would naturally not refuse, so he agreed and went back to prescribe medicine. When Zhiyue saw that Eunuch Baoshun had gone with Doctor Zhang, she thought of staying to take care of the young lady.

But the emperor was sitting in front of the bed, so she didn't dare go forward. Thinking of the imperial physician's instructions, she went out to get a basin of water to apply a wet compress to the young lady to cool her down.

Just as she was about to step forward with the handkerchief, she didn't expect the emperor to take the handkerchief directly and put it on the lady's forehead himself.

Emperor Yong'an felt the woman's hot skin under his palm, and he brushed away the sweat-soaked hair on her cheek.

Shen Leyan was dazed by the fever, and all she could feel was darkness. She felt a chill on her face, but it was short-lived, and she was quickly enveloped by the scorching heat again.

He turned around and ordered the other servants: "Go get another basin of hot water."

Then he turned to Zhiyue and said, "Her clothes are already wet with sweat. Go back and get her a set of clean clothes."

When Zhiyue heard this, she immediately responded and went to get the young lady's clothes.

After everyone in the tent had left, Emperor Yong'an cautiously reached out and gently hugged her, not at all bothered by the sticky sweat on her body.

She didn't open her eyes, but instinctively rubbed against him. The slightly cool body temperature of the person next to her was like a long-awaited rain for someone with a fever, and she let out a small sigh.

Emperor Yong'an felt that her throat was a little hoarse, so he slowly loosened his arms around her and planned to get some water from the table nearby to feed her.

But she subconsciously clung even tighter and didn't want to let go, and Emperor Yong'an couldn't bear to push him away when he saw this.

After a while, a servant came in carefully carrying hot water. Emperor Yong'an waved his hand and asked someone to guard outside the door.

He lifted the quilt off Shen Leyan and easily unbuttoned her outer robe. After a pause, his fingers finally unbuttoned her inner garment.

After wetting the handkerchief with hot water, he tilted his head slightly and quickly wiped the sweat off her body, then wrapped her in a quilt and moved to the other side to lie down.

Even the emperor's biological mother, the empress dowager, would be very shocked at this moment. Her son, who usually lives a life of luxury, would actually take such good care of a woman.

Emperor Yong'an had never expected that, far from being disgusted by her sweat, he was simply concerned and eager to take care of her. He even refused to let anyone else wipe her body, enjoying doing it for her endlessly.

Although I didn't look at her directly just now, I could still feel her soft body curves.

At this moment, he also felt that his breath was getting hotter and his mouth was beginning to feel dry.

He strode to the table and gulped down a few gulps of water. After calming down, he carefully fed Shen Leyan a few sips of water.
