Your Highness's Beloved Medical-skilled Princess novel Chapter 24

In the evening, Emperor Mingyuan came for the regular greeting. Seeing that the Retired Emperor getting better, he gladly chatted with him for a while and then left.

Yuan Qingling kept her head down all the time, Emperor Mingyuan barely noticed she was there, so nothing happened.

After Emperor Mingyuan left, Eunuch Chang helped the Retired Emperor get wiped clean as usual, while Yuan Qingling moved to the outer hall to leave them alone.

She took the opportunity and give herself an injection, but unfortunately, there was no way to re-dress the wounds. Now the wounds were wet, and it seemed to be oozing blood.

Once the injection was done, she lay down and rested for a while. When she heard footsteps inside, she knew Eunuch Chang had finished his work, so she struggled to stand up. But the sudden movement overburdened her heart and blood soon surged up through her throat to her mouth.

She walked outside, trembling along the way, and then she spat the blood on the roots of a tree.

Hand on the tree, she spent a long while stabilizing herself and catching a breath.

“Your Grace, may I help?”

Eunuch Chang asked her from behind.

Yuan Qingling turned around and waved her hand. "It's okay. I’ve eaten too much."

“OK.” Eunuch Chang felt a little strange but he left without a word.

Yuan Qingling kept the doubts in her mind and returned to the palace. The Retired Emperor sat half upright on the bed, and he looked much more energetic now.

Yuan Qingling said, “Your Majesty, time for an infusion.”

The Retired Emperor reached out his hand and took a look at her. “I’ve dismissed him. You can do whatever you need to do now.”

Yuan Qingling first listened to his heartbeat and breathing. His breathing was still not smooth, then she gave an appropriate dose of dopamine before the infusion.

She took out a bottle of Glyceryl Trinitrate and handed it to the Retired Emperor. "This medicine is for the emergency. If you feel chest pain and suffocation, put a pill under the tongue."

The label and instruction on the bottle were already torn off by her outside just now.

The bottle looked very delicate. The Retired Emperor played it in his hand and took it away.

After a while, the Retired Emperor saw Yuan Qingling coming over with water and a handful of colorful pills that didn't look like any pills he knew. "What are these?" He was slightly impatient.

“Drugs. Time to take the drugs.”

“No!” He believed that more colors indicated more danger.

"Yes, you have to!" Yuan Qingling now was clearly aware that the Retired Emperor wouldn’t make things difficult for her, so she became a little bold. "That’s your only way to get better. They aren’t bitter anyway."

"Alright!" The Retired Emperor gave a disgusted look before he picked up a few of them and put them in his mouth. Yuan Qingling handed him water right away, but she saw the Retired Emperor chewing the pills and his face looked twisted.

"Have some water and swallow them now!" Yuan Qingling hurriedly handed him the cup. That was totally unexpected because even kids knew pills should be swallowed with water. She wondered if there was no pill in the imperial palace.

After having the whole cup of water, the Retired Emperor finally swallowed the bitter medicines. "Once I get better, I’ll have you be beheaded!" He said angrily.

“Sure, sure!” Yuan Qingling coaxed. She really wanted to laugh at this moment and was surprised at her own optimism.

The Retired Emperor murmured a few more words, then he slowly turned his head aside. Yuan Qingling knew that he was sleepy, so she moved the pillow away and helped him to lie down.

The infusion lasted for about an hour. As soon as it was finished, Yuan Qingling packed it up. In a short while, Eunuch Chang came, followed by imperial doctors.

Eunuch Chang said to Yuan Qingling, “Your Grace, the Retired Emperor told you to have a rest in the outer hall. Please come in and take care of His Majesty the next morning.”

Yuan Qingling was exhausted. She knew there wouldn’t be problems tonight, so she walked out after a nod.

The outer hall was the place where Yu Wenhao had slept today. Yuan Qingling closed the door and lay on the bed. She fell asleep almost as soon as she touched the bed.

She woke up once at midnight and sneaked into the cella to check the situation. Eunuch Chang was sitting on the ground, taking a nap, while the Retired Emperor was sleeping peacefully. She rubbed her eyes and went out. After she took some more drugs, she continued to sleep.

She woke up before dawn. She slept soundly with no dreams. When she woke up, she vomited blood again. What was worse, her internal organs ached for quite a few minutes. She quickly took a few anti-inflammatory drugs and waited for the pain to pass. Then he went to take care of the Retired Emperor in the cella.
