It has been a long time since Ye Li went to the palace with Lingling. The little emperor in his memory has now grown up. Although Zhao Jie has not yet taken power, his every move already shows 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 my aunt was seriously ill, so I came to see her specially. Please relax and take good care of yourself."
Ye Li said: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
Zhao Jie told Ye Li a few more words 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 took a deep look at Lu Yiling, who knew what was going on and said, "Oh, my stomach hurts, let Sister Chi take my uncle away."
Chu Chi smiled 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 had to go to my mother to make trouble. That's why my mother is 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, it's okay. I can come here at will."
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 also 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. Now Ye Li was 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 that Madam Chu asked me to come for?"
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 give birth to a child for him. Yan Lang is already 37 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 that Ning Wei handed to her and poured it all over Ning Wei's head, "You are so shameless! For ten years, a full ten years, he ignored Che'er and now wants to take Che'er back. What are you dreaming about?"
Ning Wei was soaked through, and slammed the table angrily, "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 of the Lu family than let him have a bright future?"
Ye Li said: "When the five of us, mother and son, were about to die, it was Princess Qi who helped us. It would be better to be a slave to the Princess for the rest of my life than to follow 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 had not changed much. When he was about to leave, Chu Yan held his 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, then closed the door.
After the door was closed, Chu Yan let go of Ye Li's wrist. Ye Li raised his hand and slapped Chu Yan hard on the face.
“Even if you are afraid of losing face as the head of the Chu family and don’t recognize us, I don’t hate you. After all, you were not Chu Yan when you already had four children. We shouldn’t blame you for wanting to leave us, but now you actually want to snatch Che’er away. You are such a piece of shit!”
Chu Yan took a breath and hissed, "Do you want 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 bodyguard 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 your 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 will not have any more children."
Chu Yan stretched out his thumb and rubbed his face, which was burning with pain from the slap from Ye Li. "Ning Wei will treat Che'er as her own child. You should think carefully about Che'er's future."
Ye Li said: "Chi'er is about to 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 stay as 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, not to mention that His Majesty is still on guard against the Qi family and the Lu family.
Chi Er was arranged by Princess Qi to enter the palace. Your Majesty may be temporarily attracted by her beauty, but if Your Majesty wants to settle accounts with the Qi and Lu families, Chi Er will 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 outside of the door, "Someone, call the doctor."
Ning Wei hurried in and saw Ye Li being held in Chu Yan's arms. She lowered her head and said, "Husband, what happened to her?"
When Ning Wei took the handkerchief to wipe Chu Yan's forehead, Chu Yan waved her hand away.
Ning Wei narrowed her eyes and said, "Husband, don't worry too much. I've already called a doctor."
The doctor arrived soon and after checking Ye Li's pulse, he said, "She is too weak. She just recovered from a serious illness and was so angry that she fainted. Remember not to get too emotional. She must have suffered from postpartum illness when she gave birth and didn't get enough rest. If her emotions fluctuate too much again, she may not live for many years."
Chu Yan frowned and said, "I understand."
…
In Yuemi Courtyard.
Lu Yiling pushed the doors one by one, but didn't see Ye Li. She asked Chu Che who was standing beside her, "Where is the nanny? I want to eat the mung bean porridge she made. She was sick before, and I haven't had it for a long time."
Chu Che said: "My mother went out early in the morning. I also know how to make mung bean porridge. I will go and make it."
Lu Yiling nodded and said, "Well, go quickly."
When Chu Che brought the mung bean porridge, Lu Yiling tasted it and said, "It doesn't taste like the one made by the wet nurse, but it's not bad either."
Lu Yiling scooped a spoonful for Chu Che and said, "Try it."
Chu Che took a sip and smiled faintly: "I think it tastes better than what my mother made."
"No, the mung bean porridge cooked by the wet nurse is the most delicious in the world. The mung bean porridge you cook is only a little bit better than the mung bean porridge cooked by my grandmother."
Chu Che said: "My cooking is much better than your Highness Princess's. Every time your Highness Princess cooks porridge for you, you let me drink it."
Lu Yiling squinted her eyes and smiled as she drank the mung bean porridge, "The porridge cooked by my grandmother is not available to ordinary people. Only our Lu family can drink it. I treat you as one of my own."
It was already dark when Lu Yiling finished drinking the mung bean porridge. She went out for dinner and came back but still hadn't seen Ye Li. Lu Yiling could only comfort herself by thinking that she had grown up and could fall asleep with the care of her nanny.
The next morning, when Ye Li was still missing, Lu Yiling realized something was wrong and went to find Qi Yuning, "Mother, the wet nurse is missing. I haven't seen her for two days."
Qi Yuning said to Lu Yiling: "Don't worry, she is at the Chu family."
"What? Why would she go to the Chu family? No, I can't let Chu Yan bully the wet nurse!" (End of this chapter)
