Transmigrating to a Female-Dominated World: Handsome Men Keep Chasing After Me

Chapter 47

Hongyun stood beside her with a complicated expression. Nalan Jingwen's expression was indifferent, and she did not want to explain. What is, is. Even now, in her eyes, she was a beast who would not even spare someone who was seriously ill.

Rong Hengyu fainted again while the doctor was taking her pulse. After taking her pulse, the doctor stood up, looked at Nalan Jingwen, and stammered, not knowing what to say.

"Doctor, what's wrong with my young master?!"

Hongyun asked anxiously.

The doctor glanced at the woman standing to the side, still hesitant and unwilling, which displeased Nalan Jingwen.

"Speak your mind! Are you trying to get me to punish you by stammering?"

The doctor was so frightened that he knelt down with a thud, his face full of sorrow, and cried out, "Your Highness... it is my poor medical skills that are the problem. Please ask Your Highness to find someone more skilled."

She was trembling all over, terrified that Nalan Jingwen might drag her out and behead her if he was displeased.

Nalan Jingwen turned to look at Hongyun, "Wasn't she the one who treated the King's husband before?"

"The situation is urgent, and I only had time to find the nearest doctor."

"idiot!"

Nalan Jingwen's voice suddenly turned cold, like ice.

She didn't have time, so didn't she know to send someone else to find the doctor who had previously treated Rong Hengyu?

Hongyun's head drooped even lower, and the doctor beside her trembled like a leaf, terrified of being implicated.

Nalan Jingwen closed his eyes briefly and said, "Tell me what the King Consort's current condition is, and I will not punish you."

The doctor glanced up at Nalan Jingwen, then at Hongyun. Seeing that she wasn't joking, he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness... your internal organs have been shattered, your pulse is weak, and your blood has just flowed backward. I'm afraid your chances of survival are slim. Even a miracle doctor might not be able to save you. Your Highness should..."

After saying that, she sighed. Nalan Jingwen understood that she meant she should prepare for the possibility that Rong Hengyu would die.

Her eyes darkened. "If we could find the Crimson Lotus, could it cure him?"

The doctor's eyes lit up, and his face was full of surprise.

"Could it be the legendary Red Lotus?"

Nalan Jingwen nodded, and the doctor became excited, "If we can really find it, the King's Consort will definitely recover immediately, but..."

"Just what?"

"However, this Crimson Lotus will become completely ineffective after being picked for half an hour..."

Nalan Jingwen immediately understood the meaning behind her words.

"It can only be taken within half an hour?"

The doctor nodded and fell silent.

Nalan Jingwen fell silent. If the person had to take the medicine within half an hour, he would have to be taken to the Northern Cold Peak Region and given the medicine immediately after it was picked. However, given his current condition, he would probably freeze to death as soon as he entered the Northern Cold Peak Region.

This is quite a problem.

Hongyun listened from the side and frowned; it sounded completely impossible.

"Are you mistaken? Young Master is on the verge of death, how can he possibly travel to the Northern Cold Peak Region in this condition?"

The doctor straightened his back and said unhappily, "You can doubt me about anything, but you can't doubt my reverence for medicine. If I didn't remember it well, how could I say such a thing? If I'm wrong, Your Highness can just chop me up with one stroke."

This time, she suddenly became unafraid that Nalan Jingwen would kill her.

Hongyun wanted to say something more, but Nalan Jingwen raised his hand to stop her.

"Alright, the King needs to rest. Everyone, go out. I'm afraid I'll have to send someone to take good care of him. Let me think about this."

Since Nalan Jingwen had spoken, they dared not say anything more. Although Hongyun was worried and wanted to stay, she was stopped by a look from Nalan Jingwen.

The door was closed, and the room fell into a deathly silence once again.

Nalan Jingwen walked towards her courtyard. She was going to find Jingchi. He was an assassin by trade, so he would naturally know some secret treasures of the martial arts world or the palace. Asking him might yield some results.

Rong Hengyu's injury cannot be delayed.

Arriving at the door of the room where Mirror Pool was located, he pushed the door open and went in, shouting, "Who's there!"

"it's me."

Nalan Jingwen walked around the screen and entered the room. Jingchi was lying on the bed, his body wrapped in bandages, looking at her with his head turned to the side.

She glanced casually at the glint of cold light peeking out from under the pillow, then looked away and sat down beside his bed.

"What business does Your Highness have with Mirror Pool?"

he asks.

Nalan Jingwen didn't mince words and went straight to the point.

"You used to be an assassin. Have you ever heard of any secret treasures in the martial arts world or the imperial court that can withstand the severe cold and remain warm as spring even in the coldest places?"

"Why does Your Highness ask this?"

"It certainly has a use; just tell me."

Jingchi looked at her silently, as if trying to discern something from her. After a moment's thought, he said, "I've heard that there's a secret treasure in Phoenix Heaven Imperial City called Ruan Lingyu. Wearing it can protect the body from the severe cold, making the wearer feel as if they're in the warmth of spring, no matter how cold it is."

In Phoenix Heaven Imperial City? Then she doesn't need to send someone specifically to search for it.

Upon hearing this, Nalan Jing's expression softened slightly, and he continued to ask, "Where is Ruan Lingyu in the palace now?"

“The Nguyen Linh Ngoc tradition was passed down through the reigns of successive empresses.”

In the Empress's hands? It seems she'll have to go to the palace. I wonder if, given the Empress's favor towards her, she'll be given Ruan Lingyu.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, pulling Nalan Jingwen out of his thoughts.

"Who?"

"Your Highness, it is this old servant."

Nalan Jing heard her voice, then glanced at Jingchi, who had been watching her from the bed, and tucked the blanket around him reassuringly, saying, "Get some rest." With that, he prepared to leave.

"Isn't Your Highness afraid that Mirror Pool is deceiving you?"

Nalan Jingwen didn't turn his head and continued walking outside.

"You will gain nothing by lying to me. I can guarantee that you will not leave the palace alive."

After saying that, the door slammed shut.

The man on the bed watched Nalan Jingwen's departing figure, his clear blue eyes filled with turbulent emotions, which eventually subsided before he closed his eyes.

Outside.

When Chenghe saw that Nalan Jing had smelled it, she immediately moved closer to her.

"Your Highness, someone from the palace has come and says they wish you to come to the palace."

Nalan Jingwen was somewhat surprised. What a coincidence! She had just been hesitating whether to enter the palace now, since it was already dark and entering the palace now might not be a good idea. Since her elder sister had received the message so quickly and told her to enter the palace, she decided to go with the flow.

"Let's go, is the carriage ready?"

"Your Highness, everything is ready."

She was quite satisfied with Chenghe's ability to act.

The journey to the palace went smoothly. Upon seeing that it was the carriage of the Prince Xian's residence, they immediately let it pass. It seems that this Prince Xian is truly favored.

Led by someone, I arrived at the Fengcheng Hall, which was the study of the empresses of past dynasties and a place where they handled official business.

Cheng He stayed outside while she went in alone. The room was warm and cozy, filled with fine incense, which brought her peace of mind.

With a calm expression and steady steps, she knelt before the imperial desk.

"His Majesty."

The Empress, who was reviewing memorials at her desk, heard her voice, immediately looked up, and upon seeing her, excitedly stood up and hurriedly came down to help her up.

"Royal sister! Get up quickly!"
