Upon hearing this, Xiao Wanwan smiled demurely and pointed at Yao Qianshu, saying, "Mother, you've misheard. We were inside stopping the Dragon King's bleeding, and Brother Qianshu needed to pee, so he took a piss on the side."
"You can't blame him. Brother Qian Shu said he couldn't hold it in anymore, and he was afraid Uncle Yao would scold him if he wet his pants."
Good heavens, with just one sentence he completely absolved himself of responsibility, and didn't forget to drag General Yao into it.
General Yao raised an eyebrow and immediately walked over.
"Wanwan, is Uncle Yao really that fierce?"
Xiao Wanwan shook her head. "No."
"Then why did you say Uncle Yao wanted to hit him?"
"Brother Qian Shu said that you bully Aunt Han all day long, and if he pees, you'll spank his bottom until it's raw..."
"Oh no, I can't say that..."
Xiao Wanwan belatedly realized what was happening and quickly covered her mouth, then mumbled to General Yao, "I didn't say that, you misheard."
I can't say it was Brother Money Tree urinating or Tianfeng pooping...
[Tianfeng's excrement can stop bleeding, so Brother Qianshu cooked the excrement into a paste and applied it to the Old Dragon King...]
[Hmph, who told the old Dragon King to bully my great-grandfather?]
He deserved it!!
Ye Lanyin trembled with fear, terrified that the Dragon King would discover her and capture her daughter.
She took a deep breath, then stood up and said, "Let's all rest. If the Dragon King recovers in the next couple of days, we'll take our leave."
We can't stay any longer, not even for a moment!!
Even though the Dragon King is cured, he can no longer handle state affairs; he's become mute.
Ye Lanyin's hand trembled, and she almost dropped what she was holding.
A mute?
His vocal cords were slashed and he lost so much blood that they were already necrotic.
Moreover, those who framed him had planned it all along; it's a miracle he's still alive.
Everyone was terrified.
What should we do?
What if they say she's the younger sister...?
"Mother, you should take your sister to rest. We'll make plans for what to do next."
"Mm." Ye Lanyin nodded slightly.
That's all we can do for now. We'll talk about it tomorrow.
That night, a bloodcurdling roar erupted from the Dragon Palace, alarming all the dragon soldiers in the palace.
Ye Jianxing did not emerge from the Dragon Court Palace until sunrise on the second day.
He glanced at the row of dragon soldiers standing at the door, waved his hand, and said, "All of you, go down."
"Yes, Your Highness."
The Empress and other concubines stood at the door, looking at Ye Jianxing's pale face, and asked anxiously, "Xing'er, how is your father?"
"Yes, Your Highness, please say something."
"Brother, how is Father?"
Ye Jianxing wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at them with some fatigue.
"Father...his throat is injured."
"What?" The Dragon Queen's voice trembled, a sense of unease creeping into her heart. "Xing'er, weren't your great-great-grandfather's descendants saved? Why is this happening?"
"My sister Wanwan only helped stop the bleeding for my father. As for the rest, I can only do my best."
"only……"
"But what?" Xuefei asked.
"But Father's neck really smells terrible, you all need to bathe him."
He vomited uncontrollably when he went in; if it weren't for saving his father, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on.
His current weakness and pale complexion were not caused by his healing of his father, but entirely by the inexplicable stench.
How exactly did they stop the bleeding for the King yesterday?
Ye Jianxing was filled with doubts, and finally shook his head and left.
Looking inside, the Dragon Queen recalled how she had vomited and fainted the day before, so she pointed at someone at random.
"Xuefei, go and help the Dragon King change his clothes and bathe. I will be there shortly."
"Your Majesty, may I go?" Seeing that the Empress was favoring Consort Xue again, Consort Hu was displeased and directly stepped in front of Consort Xue.
Consort Xue, her face full of displeasure, pushed Consort Hu aside. "Consort Hu, according to your status, you are below me. How dare you overstep the bounds like this?"
“Sister Xuefei, the Dragon King is unwell now. As his concubines, we have the right to serve him together. Is it only you who can do it, and I can’t?” Seeing that Xuefei wouldn’t let her go, Hufei wanted to go even more.
So, the pitiful Empress Wenlong said, "Your Majesty, you were unwell last night. Why don't I go with Consort Xue?"
Seeing her like this, and recalling what happened last night, the Dragon Queen sighed and replied, "Since Consort Hu wants to go, then I will rest in the palace for a while before coming. You all should take good care of the Dragon King."
Upon hearing this, Consort Hu smiled and curtsied in gratitude, saying, "This humble servant thanks Your Majesty the Dragon Queen."
Then, she swayed her slender body and walked into the hall.
Consort Xue's eyes flickered slightly as she gripped her handkerchief tightly. She glanced at her son, bowed to the Empress, and went inside.
"Alright, let's wait for the Dragon King to wake up first. Yi'er, hold off the officials for the next two days."
"Yes, Mother."
Upon hearing that a mortal from a collateral branch of the Ye family had come to the Dragon Clan to rescue the Dragon King, many people came to the Clear Water Palace to investigate.
But the Dragon Queen had given an order that no one was allowed to go in, so they could only crane their necks to watch from the other side of the river.
Some curious dragon princesses even started discussing it.
"I didn't expect that my brother would actually find them."
"That's right, and they even stopped the Dragon King's bleeding. Now the Yan family is probably going to be in trouble."
"Shh, be careful what you say. If Mother hears us, she might scold us."
"This child from the mortal realm is so capable, able to save the Dragon King. Could he be here to seize the throne? Wouldn't that mean we're no longer princesses?" The woman in purple leaned on the railing, craning her neck to look at the Clear Water Palace, but the palace doors remained tightly shut.
