Chapters 950 and 951: Ye Rui is Seriously Ill
Ye Fei didn't speak, but simply turned the Burning Heaven Fire Glass Ring on her finger.
Seeing the fleeting tenderness in Ye Fei's eyes, Yun Fusang understood the gist of it without needing to answer.
It seems she was worrying too much.
It was late at night.
Xie Qingui was completely drunk, and he fell into a deep sleep, slumped over the table.
Huang Rongyu, on the other hand, was made drunk by Xie Qin Gui. He wasn't a big drinker to begin with, and after being given two cups of liquor, he started to lose his senses.
Yun Fusang had no choice but to help Xie Qin Gui up and leave first.
Mu Jingshen wasn't drunk either; he was responsible for helping Huang Rongyu back to the Third Prince's residence.
Before leaving Liuxiang Pavilion, Mu Jingshen told Ye Fei something—
"Xiao Fei." Mu Jingshen supported Huang Rongyu and looked into her eyes. "I heard something recently."
"Ye Rui, the head of the Ye family, is seriously ill."
Ye Fei raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "Seriously ill? What illness does he have?"
Mu Jingshen took a few steps closer and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "The doctor who treated Ye Rui is someone I know. He told me frankly that Ye Rui's physical condition has deteriorated very badly."
However, he didn't seem to be ill; rather, he showed signs of poisoning... and it was Ye Jingyao who conveyed the message that Ye Rui was seriously ill.
Ye Fei narrowed her eyes. Could it be that Ye Jingyao poisoned Ye Rui?
Wow, that's really interesting.
"Thank you for telling me all this." Ye Fei smiled at him. "It's rather strange that you, a disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, would find out about these things."
Mu Jingshen explained casually, "I am now the exclusive bodyguard of the Lingyun Kingdom's royal family, responsible for protecting the safety of the royal family members. It's not surprising that I found out about these things."
Ye Fei teased, "So you've become a military officer, second only to the emperor... Should I start addressing you as Lord Mu?"
Mu Jingshen glanced at her helplessly: "Calling me 'Lord Mu' is a bit too much of a waste of my time. There's no need for such formalities between us."
"I was just kidding." Ye Fei laughed, looking up at the dark sky. "It's late. You should take Rong Yu home quickly. I'll contact you using the communication stone if needed."
After watching Mu Jingshen help Huang Rongyu leave, Ye Fei's smile faded and her expression darkened.
"Xiao Fei, what are you thinking about?" Hua Ling noticed Ye Fei's expression and asked her softly.
Ye Fei and Hua Ling exchanged a glance, and Ye Fei suddenly said, "Hua Ling, come with me somewhere."
The spirit blinked her clear eyes: "Where is it? Is it fun?"
"It's fun."
Under the cover of night, her expression was dark and uncertain: "I'll take you to see the darkest and most despicable aspects of human nature."
...
The Ye family mansion.
In the dimly lit room, a hoarse cough could be heard repeatedly.
The old man lying in bed didn't even have the strength to get up.
The desk next to him wasn't filled with the Four Treasures of the Study, nor with technique manuals, but with all sorts of medicine bottles of various sizes.
The water in the basin placed on the ground was stained red with blood.
The moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, and a cool breeze blew into the room. Ye Rui, who was lying on the bed, covered his mouth and coughed. Suddenly, he noticed something and turned around sharply: "Who?!"
Two figures appeared silently in the room, their faces not even illuminated by the dim light from the window.
In the silent room, the woman's clear voice slowly rang out: "How have you been, Patriarch Ye?"
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Ye Rui froze on the bed, his pupils constricting violently!
This...this sound...
It's Xiao Fei'er!
Ye Fei strode to the bedside, looking down at Ye Rui: "Seeing you like this now, the phrase 'How have you been?' doesn't seem quite right..."
