Imperial Consort Wen led the crowd and left. Rong'er was the last to arrive at the door, and when he thought about it, he did not see Yin Zhong. He was not at ease at all, he turned around to Xuan Ye and asked softly, ”Can chenqie look at Yin Jie?”
”What's the use of you going in? Right now, the imperial physicians are busy with diagnosis and treatment. You should return first and visit another day. ” Xuan Ye gently closed his eyes, his face filled with grief.
”Yes.” The Emperor's rejection of her caused Rong'er's heart to be slightly disappointed. He raised his head and said in a soft voice: ”Yin Chang Zai's injuries were not light as well, and she did not hesitate to give up her life to save yours. I sincerely request that the Emperor find some time to see her and chenqie will take her leave.” Rong'er didn't wait for Xuan Ye's reply. He turned around and walked out of the palace.
After Rong'er returned to the palace, he went straight to Ruo Lan's room, with an imperial physician at the side taking care of him, while Ling Jiao quietly wiped away her tears. Rong'er did not speak, but just sat quietly at the side, watching the imperial physician taking care of her, and after a while, the imperial physician stood up and walked over to Rong'er and reported: ”Reporting to Imperial Concubine Rong, Yin Chang Zai has injured her vertebral column, and even her internal organs have suffered injuries.
Rong'er silently nodded his head and sent a eunuch to follow the imperial physician to fetch the medicine. The imperial physician from before also said the same thing, just like Yin'er all those years ago. She knew, she knew …
In the dim light of the morning, Rong'er moved her body. She sat like this all night, her mind filled with thoughts, her heart aching, Ruoran and Yinshui hurting her now, but Xuan Ye's indifference to her last night had undoubtedly exacerbated the pain. Was the Emperor blaming her? It was her negligence, it was her fault. She shouldn't have allowed her father-in-law to accompany her back to the palace, she should have sent a carriage or someone else to send it. She didn't do it well enough, she was responsible …
Xiao Qing, Ling Xiu-er and the two palace maids fell asleep on the side while Ruo Lan's face was still pale, without a trace of life. Rong'er, trembling a little, gently placed her hand next to Ruo Lan's nose.
Rising to her feet, she went to the candlelight and blew out the candle, opening the curtains and stepping out of the room. In May, the morning air was very comfortable in the capital, but Rong's heart was very heavy and heavy, she walked to the Buddha's table, where she offered the Buddha some incense and lightly lit it. Facing the Buddha, she said with great piety, ”Please bless Rulan and Yinzi and pray for them to be safe, Ruo Lan is so kind and devoted to the Buddha, she shouldn't be in such danger, she is only a five-year-old child, so intelligent and so deeply loved by everyone, if you can't treat them like this, please be cruel and beg for them … Please... ”We must protect them and let them safely pass through this calamity …” Rong'er murmured, unaware that his tears had already started to roll down his face.
”Imperial Concubine Rong, you can go back and rest.” ”I haven't rested for the entire night. I'll take care of Ruo Lan first, and I'll be back when I agree to come later. Furthermore, there are still so many palace maids, so there's no need for you to stay here.”
Rong'er stood up, turned around and said faintly, ”I am the main concubine of Yikun Palace. Chang Zai of my palace is sick, I should take care of him, not to mention she is Ruo Lan … Nothing must happen to her, Wei'er, nothing must happen to Ruo Lan! ” Rong'er suddenly raised his voice, sounding a bit nervous.
Ling Xiang'er bitterly nodded her head, ”Rong'er, we were the first women to enter this palace, and we also entered together, but … ”We're the only ones left now, we can't lose Ruo Lan, we can't …” These past two years, Ruo Lan had been her best friend. She had wholeheartedly studied Ruo Lan, letting all the distracting thoughts in her heart go away.
”Right... ”No, so I will guard her. I will guard her until she recovers …” Rong'er nodded.
On this day, Rong-er went to see Yin, but still couldn't see him. Xuande didn't see anyone, and so she locked herself in the house with Yin, unwilling to see anyone but the emperor and his doctors. It was said that Xuande was in a very fragile mental state, that the emperor hadn't even gone to court early in the morning, and had been accompanying her all the time. After Rong-er returned to the palace, she had been waiting in the chamber of Zhonglan, hoping that the emperor would come and see her, but the emperor never did.
Finally, at dusk, Ruo Lan woke up. She didn't speak, as if she wasn't completely awake, and fell asleep very quickly. Rong'er looked as if his heart was about to break, and the imperial physician didn't have any good ideas. Meanwhile, there was no good news from Yonghe Palace. Yin Xuan had been unconscious all this time …
