Chapter 102 Who is the Master of Luohua Palace
Although the Sixth Prince was shouting furiously, he didn't move an inch, and he didn't actually attack Qing Yi. He wasn't stupid; he knew he was no match for Qing Yi. He was only shouting and cursing for the Little Prince of the Northwest, hoping to get Ye Qingyu to deal with this audacious subordinate, so that he could vent his anger.
Ye Qingyu frowned slightly, and asked with a look of concern, "Sixth Brother, calm down first. Tell me what's going on."
The Sixth Prince's face flushed red with rage, veins bulging on his forehead. He shouted angrily, "Hmph! I heard you were ill and was deeply worried, so I rushed to Luohua Palace to see you. Who would have thought that this ignorant dog slave would dare to block the door and refuse to let me in!"
Ye Qingyu turned his gaze and looked at Qing Yi beside him. With a questioning look in his eyes, he slowly said, "Qing Yi, are you really trying to stop Sixth Brother?"
"Young Prince, how could I dare to stop the Sixth Prince without reason? I have already explained to him that the Emperor specifically ordered that you rest in peace and that no one should disturb you. But he refused to listen and insisted on forcing his way in."
Ye Qingyu sighed softly: "Sixth brother, this is my fault. After I drank the medicine prescribed by Doctor Wang, I felt drowsy and fell asleep without realizing it. I didn't even hear the noise outside. Besides, I did tell them in advance not to disturb me when I was resting." After saying that, he didn't even scold Qing Yi at all, but just looked at the Sixth Prince quietly.
"Yes, Sixth Prince, I'm afraid it's a misunderstanding!" Eunuch Chang said with a smile on his face.
"Misunderstanding? Throwing me onto such a high tree is also a misunderstanding? I think he wants to murder me?" The Sixth Prince was relentless.
"Sixth brother, calm down." Ye Qingyu comforted him in a gentle voice: "Qing Yi is a guard my father found for me from the martial arts world. He has some martial arts habits and does not know how to adapt. It's all my fault. I didn't give clear instructions and offended you. I would like to apologize to you here." As he said that, Ye Qingyu bowed to the Sixth Prince.
When the Sixth Prince saw the young prince of the Northwest being so humble, a smug look suddenly appeared on his face. He glanced at Qing Yi on the side with contempt, as if saying: Your master is fawning over me, why don’t you come over and kowtow to me to apologize!
However, Qing Yi stood there motionless, looking directly at the Sixth Prince with a slight smile in his eyes. Ye Qingyu said nothing more, nor did he urge Qing Yi again, as if the matter could end here.
"Hmph! Let that dog slave kowtow to this prince and apologize! If we don't do so today, this matter will not be over!" The Sixth Prince shouted in a bad tone.
Ye Qingyu's expression remained calm as he responded unhurriedly, "Sixth Brother, I've already made it clear that Qing Yi is a martial arts expert specially hired by my father to protect me. He holds a special status, so how can he be called a 'dog slave'? I hope Sixth Brother will not address him as such anymore."
"Chu Qingyu, you are protecting him! Look where we are? Who am I? Don't forget this is the imperial palace. I am the real prince of the Great Chu. Every corner of the palace belongs to our Chu family. How can he not be considered a servant? Today, I will make him know what the consequences of committing treason will be! It will also teach him a lesson and let him remember who is the real master in this palace!" The Sixth Prince spoke with a condescending attitude to show that his status was higher than Ye Qingyu, the little prince of the Northwest.
Ye Qingyu's heart instantly turned cold upon hearing the Sixth Prince's outrageous words. He glanced at the Sixth Prince sharply and ordered Qing Yi without hesitation, "Qing Yi, pack your things immediately and return to the palace!"
"..." The Sixth Prince was immersed in his arrogant and domineering remarks, and was extremely proud of himself. He never expected that Ye Qingyu would leave the palace so quickly. His momentum stagnated instantly, his mouth slightly opened, and he was speechless for a moment, standing there awkwardly.
Although he is a prince, he cannot deny that Chu Qingyu's status far exceeds the title of the Little Prince of the Northwest. If he drives Chu Qingyu out of the palace today, it will inevitably anger his father, who may even kill him.
"Oh my! My little prince, you absolutely cannot leave!" Eunuch Chang saw Ye Qingyu start to leave and hurriedly stopped him, his voice full of panic. "The emperor specifically instructed you to recuperate in the palace and not leave until you are fully recovered. How can you just leave at this time of night?"
Ye Qingyu, however, seemed not to have heard anything, and continued walking. He said coldly, "Your Majesty, please grant this Luohua Palace to my Sixth Brother! After all, I am no longer qualified to be the master of this palace!"
Just as tensions were rising, Imperial Physician Wang arrived in a hurry. Seeing the bustling scene at the gate of Luohua Palace, he was startled. He quickly took a few steps forward, bowed, and said respectfully, "Young Prince, why are you up? You need to rest! This is the detoxifying decoction I have just carefully prepared. Please take it while it's still warm."
"No need!" Ye Qingyu's voice was filled with unquestionable determination.
Imperial Physician Wang keenly sensed that something was amiss in the atmosphere, and his eyes shifted uneasily between Eunuch Chang, Ye Qingyu, and the Sixth Prince. He stammered a few times, but ultimately dared not speak again. He just stood aside silently with his hands hanging down.
The young eunuch behind him held the food box carefully in his hands, and the freshly brewed medicine was still steaming.
"Qingyu, are you really going to go against me, your royal brother, to protect this servant?" The Sixth Prince, utterly humiliated by Qingyi's public mockery, was already seething with rage, intent on using his status as a prince to punish this ignorant servant. But he never expected the normally calm and aloof Little Prince of the Northwest to be so reckless in protecting the servant and even angering him.
"Sixth brother, where do you come from? How does it become me who is against you? If you want to be the master here, then I will help you!" Ye Qingyu's expression was cold, and he looked at the Sixth Prince calmly.
