Chapter 17: Completely bewildered



"Princess Consort Han, your journey to find medicine will likely take several days. I will send someone to accompany you back and bring my grandson to the palace."

"What? Father, you want to bring my son to the palace?"

"That's right."

"this…"

"What? You don't want to?"

"Uh...that...daughter-in-law...no...I dare not."

"If you dare not, what are you making things difficult for?" The Emperor looked at Ye Qingcheng with sharp eyes.

“I… um… Father Emperor, this is it, your daughter-in-law feels it’s inappropriate for Yu’er to enter the palace.”

"What's wrong with it?"

"Father, as you know, there are many rules and many eyes in the palace. My son has been used to being wild with his wife since he was a child and doesn't know palace etiquette. I'm afraid he might cause some unnecessary trouble..."

"Hmph, with me here, what trouble could there be? Do you think I can't protect my own grandson?"

"Uh...no...it's not..."

"That's settled then, it's agreed upon." "Eunuch Yin."

"Your servant is here."

"Later, you will go out of the palace with Princess Han and bring back my grandson."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

this…

After hearing this, Ye Qingcheng sighed inwardly.

Oh no! We don't even know if Yu'er is Qin Mohan's child. What if we really bring her into the palace?

If someone with ulterior motives notices something, or if the Emperor, being suspicious, were to conduct a blood test and discover it's not... then... then wouldn't the Imperial Son be...

Thinking of this, Ye Qingcheng frowned deeply, her expression becoming very serious.

"Princess Consort Han, this time when you go to find medicine, I will send four experts to accompany you and protect you along the way."

"Yes, thank you, Father."

"Yes! And hurry back. Seventh Brother is already on his way back to the capital. You two haven't seen each other for six years. Now that there's been a great victory at the border, it's time for you to enjoy some good days."

"What? Father, you mean Prince Qin... no... is already on his way back to the capital?"

"That's right."

"this…"

Ye Qingcheng frowned slightly.

Oh no, that damned prince! Why did he only come back when I was about to go find medicine?

The Emperor frowned as he looked at Ye Qingcheng's expression.

"What's wrong, Princess Consort Han? Judging from your expression, it seems you don't want the Seventh Prince to come back?"

"This...this...how could a daughter-in-law think that way?" Ye Qingcheng said with an awkward smile.

"Good! That's good. Go back now and get ready. You'll be coming with Eunuch Yin to bring my grandson over in a little while. I'll also arrange for four guards to accompany you."

"yes."

Ye Qingcheng answered with her head down.

He then turned and left the main hall.

Eunuch Yin also came out.

After Physician Fang took his leave, he also left the main hall.

soon.

Ye Qingcheng and Eunuch Yin then rode in a carriage back to the clinic.

Meanwhile, on this side...

In the Empress's palace.

"Mother, this time the divine physician Ye went to find medicine. Why don't I ask for permission to go with her and see if we can recruit her for our own use?"

"Nonsense! Didn't you hear what Physician Fang said? No one can get close to that extremely cold place."

"You, a dignified crown prince, destined to inherit the throne, do you intend to die there with that vixen?"

"Mother, why would I think that way? I just feel that since this Physician Ye is going to find medicine, I can follow her. Perhaps through our interactions along the way, she can become one of ours."

"Hmph, Your Highness, whether that vixen will return from her quest for medicine remains to be seen."

Even if that witch has indeed obtained the medicine, I will never allow her to return to the capital alive.

"Does Mother intend to..."

"That's right, Crown Prince. That old geezer has always doted on Qin Mohan, and your father is so filial and listens to her so much."

So if that old codger doesn't die, your position as crown prince is in serious jeopardy.

After hearing this, the Crown Prince nodded: "Your subject understands."

This way.

Ye Qingcheng, along with Eunuch Yin, returned to the clinic.

"Mother, you're back!" Ye Jingyu ran over to Ye Qingcheng as soon as he saw her return, hugged her legs, and called out.

"Miss, you're back." Xiao Tao ran over as well.

Ye Qingcheng smiled and nodded: "Yes!"

And at this time.

Eunuch Yin looked at Ye Jingyu and said with a smile, "They look alike, they really do! Physician Fang was right, they really are cut from the same mold as the prince."

"Huh? What do you mean by 'looks like'?" Ye Jingyu asked, looking at Eunuch Yin with innocent eyes.

“Oh, young master, what this old servant means is that you look like a prince.”

"Huh? Old man, what prince?"

"Young Master, it's you..."

"Sir, the Emperor is going to the palace, and I need to find medicine. I'll take him back to pack up first. Can you wait for us here at the clinic?"

Ye Qingcheng didn't want Eunuch Yin to continue, so she interrupted him and said...

"Your Highness, do you wish to return to the manor?"

Ye Qingcheng nodded.

"In that case, this old servant will go back with you. We can set off directly from the Prince's residence, wouldn't that be faster?"

"Um... Father-in-law, I'll be away for several days this time. I need to make some arrangements for the clinic, so I'll have to come over after we're done."

After hearing this, Eunuch Yin nodded: "In that case, Your Highness, please go and return quickly! This old servant will wait for you here."

"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Father-in-law."

"Oh dear, Your Highness, please don't flatter this humble servant."
