The imperial physician pondered for a moment and then asked, "Are there any remaining petals? May this old minister examine them?"
"Of course. Qiuyun, Wanyuan, go fetch all the unused petals and those used today. Also, bring some of the water the Empress used today," Qianxia instructed.
"Yes," Qiuyun and Wanyuan did not dare to delay. In a short while, they brought over all the requested items.
The imperial physician examined them carefully, not daring to be careless. However, he had already checked several times and found no issues. Yet, when he took her pulse, it should have indicated something else.
"How much did Her Majesty add today? Perhaps she added too much, causing an allergic reaction?" the imperial physician inquired.
Qianxia thought about it. The amount added today... "more than just a little" was an understatement.
Yujingchen looked at Nanzhiyun. After hearing the imperial physician's words, Nanzhiyun felt guilty under Yujingchen's gaze.
"She is covered in rashes. Is it serious?" Yujingchen asked.
"It's not serious. Two doses of medicine will suffice," the imperial physician replied.
"Then prescribe the medicine. She's quite itchy and likes to scratch. Prescribe some medicine to relieve the itch as well," Yujingchen instructed.
"Yes," the imperial physician replied, and only left after ensuring there was nothing else. The others in the room also tactfully withdrew. Yujingchen's gaze towards Nanzhiyun was "unfriendly," and Nanzhiyun dared not meet his eyes.
"Look at the mess you've made." Yujingchen tapped Nanzhiyun's head.
"Ouch~" Nanzhiyun touched the spot where Yujingchen had tapped.
"Throwing away so many petals, have you lost all sense of proportion?" Yujingchen sighed, sat down beside her, and examined the rashes on Nanzhiyun's body.
"Is it very itchy?" Yujingchen glanced at it. It didn't seem particularly severe.
"Just a little," Nanzhiyun replied.
"Silly girl." Yujingchen was at a loss for how to deal with her. Why couldn't she be less troublesome?
"Your concubine merely thought adding more would make it very fragrant..." Nanzhiyun's voice trailed off, lacking confidence.
Yujingchen: ... He was both amused and speechless by Nanzhiyun's words.
"Did water get into your hair during your bath just now?" Yujingchen gently touched Nanzhiyun's head.
"Your Majesty..." Nanzhiyun didn't know how to refute him.
"Alright, I'm just teasing. Once the medicine is decocted, drink it first. Your body... can it not do without medicine?" Yujingchen embraced her.
"I don't know..." Nanzhiyun hadn't expected that adding so many petals would cause her to have an allergic reaction.
"So, you must remember this for the future." Yujingchen didn't sound accusatory, but he hoped Nanzhiyun would have some sense of proportion, especially when it came to her own health.
"I understand," Nanzhiyun knew she was wrong.
However...
Yujingchen held Nanzhiyun tightly. "However... today's Nannan has surprised me." Yujingchen whispered into Nanzhiyun's ear. His warm breath tickled her earlobe, and Nanzhiyun turned her head away. It was so ticklish, her face instantly turned red.
Seeing the young lady blush again, Yujingchen's heart melted. Embarrassed, Nanzhiyun buried her face in Yujingchen's chest.
Yujingchen smiled at this. Even after such an incident, she couldn't resist being teased. He gently patted Nanzhiyun's back as if to comfort her.
