Ye Li had not entered the palace with Lingling for a long time. The little emperor in his memory had now grown up. Although Zhao Jie had not yet taken power, his every move already showed the imperial aura of the master of the world.
"His Majesty……"
Zhao Jie took Chu Chi's hand and said to Ye Li, "I heard that Auntie was seriously ill, so I came to see her. Please relax and take good care of yourself."
Ye Li said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
Zhao Jie told Ye Li to take good care of himself and did not stay long.
Ye Li said to Chu Chi, "Chi'er, please see His Majesty off."
Lu Yiling stood up and said, "I'll take my uncle there."
Zhao Jie glanced at Lu Yiling deeply. Lu Yiling knew what was going on and said, "Oh, my stomach is upset. Let Sister Chi take my uncle away."
Chu Chi chuckled faintly and followed Zhao Jie to the courtyard. "Your Majesty, my mother is not in good health. I really don't dare to leave. It's all my fault. I was too ignorant and insisted on going to my mother to make trouble. That's why my mother is so depressed and her illness has not healed."
Zhao Jie looked at Chu Chi and said, "Nothing, just spend more time with your mother. Just remember to come back to the palace occasionally. If you don't remember, that's fine. I can come here whenever I want."
Zhao Jie looked down at Chu Chi, held Chu Chi's chin with one hand, and kissed Chu Chi's lips. It took a long time before he let Chu Chi go, "Go back."
Ye Li was seriously ill, and Lu Yiling thought of one way after another to make Ye Li happy. Taking advantage of the rare warm weather in winter, Lu Yiling took Ye Li to the mountains for a trip to relax.
After returning from the outing, Ye Li's illness had improved a lot, and Chu Chi was able to return to the palace with peace of mind.
As soon as Ye Li recovered from her illness, she received an invitation. After thinking for a long time, she decided to go to the teahouse.
In the Tianzi box of the teahouse, Ning Wei saw Ye Li coming and looked him up and down. Ye Li was much older than her. He was already thirty-five years old, while she was only twenty-six years old.
Ye Li, who had given birth to four children and had just recovered from a serious illness, looked very haggard. Ning Wei knelt on the mat and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw Ye Li, who was beginning to show signs of aging.
"What's the matter with Madam Chu inviting me here?"
Ning Wei poured Ye Li a cup of tea and said, "Ye Li, I'll be frank with you. I've been married to Yan Lang for many years, but I haven't been able to bear a child. Yan Lang is already thirty-seven years old, and he needs a child to inherit the Chu family business.
I want you to give Che'er to me, so that Che'er can be my son and the legitimate young master of the Chu family."
Upon hearing this, Ye Li picked up the cup of tea Ning Wei had handed her and poured it all over Ning Wei's head. "You guys are so shameless! For ten years, a full ten years, he didn't care about Che'er at all. Now you want to take Che'er back? What are you dreaming of?"
Ning Wei was completely soaked. She slammed the table and angrily shouted, "Ye Li, who gave you the courage? Do you know the consequences of offending the Chu family? Would you rather let your son follow you and become a slave to the Lu family than give him a bright future?"
Ye Li said, "When the five of us, mother and children, were about to die, it was Princess Qi who helped us. Even being a slave to the Princess for the rest of my life would be better than following you!"
After Ye Li finished speaking, when he was about to leave, he saw Chu Yan coming in from the door of the wing room.
Ye Li looked at Chu Yan, whose appearance hadn't changed much. When she was about to leave, Chu Yan grabbed her hand and asked, "Did you spill the water?"
Ye Li looked at Chu Yan and said, "So what if I splashed it? Don't even think about taking Che'er away from you!"
Chu Yan said to Ning Wei, "You go out first."
Ning Wei stood up and left the room, closing the door behind him.
After the door closed, Chu Yan let go of Ye Li's wrist. Ye Li raised his hand and slapped Chu Yan hard in the face.
"Even if you're afraid of losing face as the head of the Chu family and disown us, I won't hate you. After all, you weren't Chu Yan when you already had four children. We shouldn't blame you for wanting to leave us, but now you're actually trying to snatch Che'er away. You're such a piece of shit!"
Chu Yan sucked in a breath and hissed, "Are you going to watch Che'er be a slave for the rest of his life, let Lu Yiling bully him for the rest of his life, and let him be a little guard for a woman for the rest of his life?"
Ye Li frowned and said, "Mrs. Chu is still young. You and her will eventually have children. When you have a child who you think is of noble blood, what about Che'er? Won't you get rid of him as soon as possible?"
"No, after Ning Wei recognized Che'er, she won't have any more children."
Chu Yan stretched out his thumb and ran it across his face, which was burning with pain from Ye Li's slap. "Ning Wei will treat Che'er as her own child. You should think carefully about Che'er's future."
Ye Li said: "Chi'er will soon become the queen. Even if Che'er doesn't go to the Chu family, he will have a bright future in the future."
Chu Yan said, "How long can Chi'er remain the queen in the palace when she has no power or influence? In the future, any concubine in the harem will have a better family background than her. Besides, His Majesty is still wary of the Qi and Lu families.
Chi'er was brought into the palace by Princess Qi. Your Majesty may be temporarily captivated by her beauty, but if Your Majesty were to settle accounts with the Qi and Lu families, Chi'er would definitely be implicated."
Chu Yan sat down and handed Ye Li a cup of tea. "If Che'er returns to the Chu family, he will be able to be a support for Chi'er in the future, right?"
Ye Li took the tea and poured it all over Chu Yan's head, "Shut up..."
Before he could even utter the word "think", Ye Li fainted in front of the coffee table. Chu Yanlian stood up and held Ye Li in his arms, shouting to the door, "Someone, call a doctor."
Ning Wei hurried inside and saw Ye Li being held in Chu Yan's arms. She lowered her head and said, "Husband, what happened to her?"
