Chapter 91 Impossible!

Ye Lanzhou pretended to be embarrassed, but this only emboldened Ye Qingshang. The more guilty Ye Lanzhou felt, the more convinced Ye Qingshang was that she was right. She smiled and said, "Don't dare? Fourth sister, this is a crime of deceiving the emperor. What do you want the Ye family to do in the future?"

This last sentence hit the nail on the head for Ye Zhixing. He had worked hard for many years in the Imperial Hospital before finally taking the position of Director of the Imperial Hospital. The Ye family's ancestors were medical practitioners, but in reality, few had achieved high-ranking positions. Ye Zhixing was the first.

The previous emperor had only one child, Xie Xun, and he was only half grown. His teacher had said he would likely be stupid, so many people were eagerly anticipating the birth of Ye Lanzhou. If she committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, not only would the reputation of the Ye family be in jeopardy, but the lives of dozens of people throughout the family would be in jeopardy.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhixing said in a deep voice: "Wang'er, let us see your injury."

He dismissed the maids and servants in the mansion, leaving only the two sisters Ye Qingshang and Ye Lanzhou in the room.

Ye Lanzhou revealed the gauze wrapped around his thigh. Because there was too much blood, it had seeped out of the gauze and onto his clothes. A large area under his body was covered in blood, which was simply horrible to look at.

Ye Zhixing took one look and then turned away. However, Ye Qingshang was terrified. She hadn't expected Ye Lanzhou to be injured. She leaned over to get up, but gave up because her legs were too weak. Sitting in her wheelchair, she said in horror, "Impossible! If you were really injured, why didn't you dare to say it directly? What are you waiting for by hiding?"

Ye Zhixing glared at her. She realized she had lost her composure and immediately regained her composure. She tried her best to control her anger and said, "Could it be that Fourth Sister deliberately made this to cover up the bloodstain?"

Ye Lanzhou straightened her clothes and said, "Why is Second Sister so hostile to me? I was the one who arranged for Second Sister to marry into the palace, and now she's still suspicious of me? Is Second Sister such a heartless person?"

"Ha!" Ye Qingshang seemed to have heard a huge joke. Facing Ye Lanzhou's words, she said without any guilt, "You marrying into the palace for me is the blessing you have cultivated for several lifetimes. If it weren't for me, how could you, a bastard-born girl, marry into a noble family? With such a blessing, you dare to commit such a heinous crime——"

Seeing that the two sisters were about to quarrel, Ye Zhixing was afraid that someone would say something wrong and be heard by others, so he called out to them in time: "Shang'er, Wang'er!"

Their father called a halt, and neither dared to speak again. Ye Zhixing gestured for Ye Lanzhou to extend her wrist, raising his hand to test it. Ye Lanzhou was a little nervous. She had applied the needles, and the illusion of a slippery pulse had gone well; this trick could fool the Imperial Hospital staff.

But she learned this trick from her mother, and she didn't know if her father would notice anything unusual.

While Ye Zhixing was taking Ye Lanzhou's pulse, he was waiting anxiously and could even hear his own heartbeat.

Ye Zhixing just shook his head, and Ye Lanzhou thought it was over.

But Ye Zhixing didn't get angry with her. Instead, he turned to Ye Qingshang and said, "Shang'er, am I being too pampering to you?"

"First, you let your brother push Yun'er in front of the eldest son of the Pei family, and then you framed Wang'er for a fake pregnancy. What exactly do you want to do?" Anger still appeared in Ye Zhixing's eyes. He had never said anything about Ye Qingshang, but what happened in the past two days was really too much.

"How could the eldest daughter of the Ye family be so jealous as you?"
