Chapter 120 The Daughter of a Guilty Minister vs. the Disabled Prince 34
At noon, Ye Jueming came to see Ji Yunhuan as usual.
A small green bundle was placed on the table. Ye Jueming couldn't help but linger on the bundle with a look of reluctance.
Xiao Yan snorted coldly, "You are caught red-handed, what else can you say? Do you know what your current status is? You are an imperial physician, a 'man'! You dare to trick Xiaoyun into making clothes for you? Are you going to persuade Xiaoyun to leave the capital with you next?"
Ye Jueming did think so in her heart, but she still had the will to survive, so she waved her hands and said:
"Your Highness, you misunderstood. How could I dare to do that? I have no choice but to ask Xiaoyun for help."
Xiao Yan knew everything in his heart. If Ye Jueming hadn't felt guilty, he would never have been so polite to him.
"The old master has already come to the capital. Apart from being on duty at the Imperial Hospital, you should spend more time with the old master and listen to his teachings. Don't even think about escaping from the capital, I will send someone to keep an eye on you!"
Thinking of his grandfather's nagging mouth, Ye Jueming felt a headache, "Xiao Yan! Don't go too far! I work like a slave for you, and this is how you treat a meritorious official? Believe it or not, this genius doctor will go on strike to show you, I quit!"
Xiao Yan was unmoved and said expressionlessly: "It's good that you quit. I will send someone to send you back to Medicine King Valley now. Anyway, the old valley master is here and has no use for you."
Ye Jueming wailed, "No! I finally got out here, and I haven't even started my journey in the martial arts world yet. I won't go back!"
"Then just take good care of Xiaoyun. If you say anything indecent again, I will not forgive you! Once Xiaoyun gives birth smoothly, I will consider letting you leave the capital."
Ye Jueming hung his head and finally behaved himself.
Ji Yunhuan stepped forward to help Xiao Yan straighten his clothes, and said with a gentle smile: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will not leave with Divine Doctor Ye. I have my home, my children, and the people I love in the capital, and I will not leave."
Xiao Yan held Xiao Yun's hand, his eyes full of affection, "Of course I believe in Xiao Yun. No matter who it is, as long as he dares to take you away from me, I will never let him go! Even if I have to chase him to the ends of the earth, I will find you back and fight to the death!"
Ji Yunhuan's hands were pinched so hard that it hurt, but she knew that she must not provoke Xiao Yan at this time.
"Your Highness, what you said is so exaggerated. I am already your Highness's, and no one can take me away. If your Highness doesn't mind, I will make you a... never mind, I'll just make you a handkerchief."
She had no confidence in her needlework. If she made a piece of clothing hastily, the seams would not be neat and the clothes might not be wearable at all.
The madness in Xiao Yan's eyes gradually dissipated, and the strength in his hands loosened a little, but he was still reluctant to let Xiao Yun go.
"Okay, as long as it's made by Xiaoyun, I like it."
Ji Yunhuan coaxed him softly, "Your Highness, it's time to go. Your 'vertigo' has healed. The emperor has summoned you, so you should go and wait early. Don't let the emperor get suspicious."
"I will wait here for Your Highness to come back. How about I make beef hotpot for Your Highness in the evening? It's so cold, it's just right to eat hotpot."
Finally coaxing Xiao Yan to leave, Ji Yunhuan rubbed his red wrist and sighed softly.
Ye Jueming sighed, "Look at the life you've been living. You gave me this in private, so how did he know about it? He must have sent someone to monitor you."
"People with brain diseases cannot be cured, and their condition may get worse. You should think carefully about what I said, so as not to regret it in the future. Our Medicine King Valley still has some reputation in the martial arts world, so you don't have to worry too much..."
Ji Yunhuan interrupted Ye Jueming and said, "Doctor Ye, there is no need to persuade me anymore. I have made up my mind. Yaowang Valley is free and unrestrained. Why should you get into trouble for me?"
After Ye Jueming left, Ji Yunhuan called Yuling in.
Yuling is a third-class palace maid. She usually works in the small kitchen and occasionally does some sweeping and cleaning in the yard. It was she who overheard the conversation between Ji Yunhuan and Ye Jueming yesterday and ran to tell Baizhi.
Ji Yunhuan slammed the table and said sternly, "Yuling, do you know you are wrong?"
Yuling was only fifteen or sixteen years old. She was so frightened that she trembled all over. She fell to her knees with a plop and stumbled over her words:
"I...I don't know what I did wrong. It was clearly the young lady who asked me to do this."
"Oh, tell me, when did I ask you to report me?"
Yuling's heart was pounding. She had no one to rely on in the palace and was now just a maid doing menial work. Now she finally had a chance to be promoted.
"My lady, you are wise. I always see you and Divine Doctor Ye having secret talks. When you see me, you pretend not to see anything. It is obvious that you are not afraid of me reporting you."
"Yesterday, the young lady gave Doctor Ye a bundle with such a loud voice, as if she was afraid that I didn't hear it. I thought that the young lady was so smart that she would definitely not seek death. Sure enough, the young lady was safe and sound, but Sister Bai Zhi was driven out of the palace."
Ji Yunhuan waved his hand to let Yuling stand up. "You are quite smart. You know so many things. Aren't you afraid that I will kill you to silence you?"
Yuling said firmly, "Miss, you won't do that. Miss, you have many ways to make Sister Baizhi die. You don't even have to do anything. Maybe one day Sister Baizhi will die because of angering His Highness. Isn't it that Miss planned all this just to make Sister Baizhi leave the palace and live a peaceful life?"
"The girl is not a petty person, nor is she a vicious person, so the girl will not kill me, but will use me."
Ji Yun laughed, "You have already said all the words, I have nothing to say. His Highness asked me to choose a few people to serve, but I have been looking for a long time and I haven't seen any suitable ones. You are a good choice, so you can follow me in the future."
"I have no official status at the moment, so you will be considered as a first-class maid by His Highness' side, and you will start receiving the first-class maid's allowance next month."
Yuling knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Thank you very much, young lady. I will serve you well in the future."
Ji Yunhuan accepted the gift calmly and gave Yuling a bag of gold beans as a gift. She knew that for a palace maid, rewarding her with gold and silver was the most practical thing.
Yuling was really happy, her eyes sparkled and she looked like a money-grubber. She put the golden beans in her arms and said with a smile, "Young lady, you are so generous. I won't be polite. I just saw the Eighth Prince coming. His Highness is not here, so the Eighth Prince will definitely come to see you."
"Young lady, your outfit is too plain. It's fine to wear it in the house, but it's not proper to meet guests. I'll help you dress up first."
Yuling used to be a palace maid and had never served anyone closely, but her skills were surprisingly good.
Ji Yunhuan didn't like heavy headwear. She tied her jet-black hair into a bun and wore only a jade hairpin on her head, which was elegant and not disrespectful.
"I once asked an old maid to teach me this, thinking that it would be useful someday. Now it has come in handy. The girl is so beautiful that she looks like a goddess once she dresses up."
Yuling brought the mirror over to show Ji Yunhuan, who really liked it. She tapped Yuling on the head and chuckled, "Slippery tongue, let's go, it's time to go see the Eighth Prince."
