1786 Change 2
Feeling disoriented from her sleep, Gu Chaoyan experienced a wave of dizziness. As she regained full consciousness, she suddenly felt a piercing chill in the air. Hastily wrapping herself in a blanket while still in bed, she spoke with a serious tone, “Prepare thick blankets for the inner chamber, and coal basins as well. Why is the weather changing so rapidly? It’s getting much colder!”
Sword One displayed genuine concern and worry upon hearing Gu Chaoyan’s shivering words.
What was the Queen talking about?
The weather hadn’t changed. It was cool, but not cold. They were still dressed in lightweight attire.
Only the Queen, for some inexplicable reason, felt as if they had suddenly entered winter.
A sudden realization struck Sword One, recalling what Lingyun had mentioned—the Queen had the cold drug within her body, inherently. The Happiness Drug was attempting to suppress that sensation.
In that case…
Was the Queen being overwhelmed by the effects of the cold drug?
Worry etched across Sword One’s face.
Gu Chaoyan cast a brief glance at Sword One and noticed that she, too, was dressed as lightly as she had been the day before.
Then, her gaze shifted to the sunlight streaming in through the window.
And then, she understood.
The weather hadn’t changed.
She had.
Wearing an expression of unease, Sword One spoke anxiously, “I will fetch Ms. Lingyun and arrange for thick blankets and a coal basin for you, Your Majesty. Please wait a moment.”
Gu Chaoyan maintained a composed demeanor, feigning ignorance of Sword One’s desperation.
Ever since Lingyun had provided her with detailed information about her condition, she had known that this day would inevitably arrive.
Well…
Gu Chaoyan let out a slight sigh.
In the imperial study,
Zhou Huaijin had spent the entire night sorting through matters concerning Shiling Palace and the court. He had even secured a position for Lin Jiashu. Everything was settled.
He believed that Chaoyan must have awakened and that they could enjoy breakfast together.
Despite his fatigue, Zhou Huaijin wore a contented smile.
Just as he was about to rise from his seat, Sword One burst into the room. “Head, please go to Fengxian Palace immediately.”
“What has happened?” Zhou Huaijin asked, his concern evident.
“The Queen complained about feeling cold. If Lingyun is right and the cold drug is spiraling out of control, then…” Zhou Huaijin abruptly left the study without allowing Sword One to finish relaying the message. He hastened towards Fengxian Palace with great urgency.
What could be happening?
Hadn’t she mentioned that she was improving? Why was this happening again?
Zhou Huaijin felt deeply concerned.
He arrived swiftly at Fengxian Palace.
Numerous servants were busy preparing coal basins and blankets. Some were closing the windows, even though it was a pleasant day with fresh air flowing through the open windows. However, considering the condition of the Queen, it was necessary to shut them.
Zhou Huaijin dashed inside, paying no heed to the greetings.
He enveloped Chaoyan in his embrace. “How are you feeling? Are you still feeling extremely cold? Any discomfort?”
He held her tightly, unwilling to let any hint of chill reach her.
