Chapter 56: Joking
I saw my father and brother lying on stretchers, covered in wounds and blood, being carried over by two guards.
The blood drained from Li Runrun's face and she rushed over in panic.
Someone wanted to stop him, but Ye Yunchu raised his hand to stop him.
Li Runrun rushed over and held her father's hand, then hurriedly felt his pulse and checked his breathing. When she found that her father was still alive, she hurried to see her brother.
When she found out her brother was still alive, Li Runrun fell to the ground, her legs so weak that she couldn't stand up anymore.
That’s great, Dad and brother are still alive. As long as there is breath, there is hope.
I don't know how I ended up working in the pawnshop.
But it is much better than no one finding a living person or a dead body.
Li Ruanruan hurriedly knelt in front of Ye Yunchu: "Please, my lord, save my father and brother. I can agree to anything you want."
Ye Yunchu didn't want anything in the first place, and didn't know how this step came about.
But seeing how sincere the little concubine was, she was almost about to swear to the sky.
I couldn't help but squat down and look at her with my eyes downcast: "Then let me ask you what you have?"
Li Ruanruan racked her brains. What did she have? At this moment, she felt so poor that she couldn't give him anything.
No, there are some. Li Ruanruan said, "Suzhou embroidery, I can embroider a lot of Suzhou embroidery for the prince. I can embroider a double-sided screen with different colors. I guarantee it will be the only one of its kind in Beijing. Also, I can write a promissory note. All the medical expenses will be counted as borrowed from me. I will slowly pay you back..."
Li Runrun spoke more and more quietly, because she seemed to still owe the prince a hundred taels of silver, which she had not yet paid back.
Her eyes were red with anxiety, and she really didn't know what else she could give him, so she looked at him pitifully.
Ask him: "My Lord, what else do you want? I will do my best to give it to you."
What more does he want?
Apart from the one in front of me, there doesn’t seem to be anything else that I’m interested in.
So Ye Yunchu reached out and touched the little concubine's face, helping her wipe away the pitiful tears that were about to fall from the corners of her eyes, and he couldn't help but rubbed them hard.
I accidentally hit her a little too hard, and she looked like she had been severely bullied, with the corners of her eyes turning red.
Ye Yunchu sighed: "What you said is not enough to impress me."
Li Ruanruan frantically tugged at Ye Yunchu's sleeve: "Then, then..."
"I can help you. When I think you have what I want, I'll talk to you again. You owe me first."
"Really?"
"Um."
The noble prince nodded and agreed.
Li Runrun breathed a sigh of relief. That was great! Her father and brother were saved. She had seen how powerful the prince's medicine was.
Then she nodded, nodding desperately: "Your Highness, even if you want my life, that's fine."
Ye Yunchu just smiled without saying anything. He grabbed Li Ruanruan's arm and pulled her up.
He ordered his men: "Send the man to the Qingfeng Bamboo Garden in the Marquis' Mansion and ask the palace doctor to come and treat him properly."
Ye Yunchu took Li Ruanruan away.
Ye Qiaoqiao still had some conscience and waited in the carriage for Li Runrun to return to the Marquis' Mansion together.
When Li Runrun saw the carriage, she wanted to get on. She was anxious to go back to look after her father and brother, and she also didn't dare to delay Ye Yunchu's errand.
The prince must be very busy.
But just after she ran two steps over there, the prince grabbed her arm and pulled her back. He seemed dissatisfied with her and pinched her wrist with more force, as if to warn her.
Li Ruanruan obediently followed the prince into his carriage.
Ye Qiaoqiao heard the noise and stuck her head out, but she only saw a large carriage driving away in front of her.
Li Runrun had never sat in such a comfortable carriage before. Just kneeling on the carpet was soft and comfortable.
There was still some wobbling when walking, but it didn't make me dizzy at all, like a baby sleeping in a cradle.
The configuration inside this carriage is too expensive. It turns out that the prince's things are all the best.
Li Runrun couldn't understand why the prince was still short of money.
Ye Yunchu was half lying on the soft couch in the carriage. Seeing Li Ruanruan kneeling there as soon as she got on the carriage, he couldn't help but laugh: "If you don't know, you would think I'm treating you harshly and making you kneel as punishment."
Li Ruanruan quickly said, "No."
"Then why are you still kneeling? Waiting for me to get the whip?"
"What are you doing with the whip?"
"What did you say?"
“.......”
Li Runrun had not yet recovered from the joy and worry of finding her father and brother, and that they were both alive, so she reacted a little slowly.
He immediately understood what she meant by that. What else could he do with the whip? Beat her.
So Li Runrun was afraid of being beaten and did not dare to offend the prince, so she used her hands and feet to crawl along the carpet to Ye Yunchu's soft couch, and she knelt down to kowtow to him.
Ye Yunchu lowered his eyes and saw that she looked like a bullied girl. He no longer had any temper.
"What are you kneeling for?"
"I...feel comfortable kneeling."
Ye Yunchu remained silent for a long time, and finally seemed to laugh out loud because of her anger: "Then kneel down."
That's right, just give an order. It's really too difficult for Li Runrun to always say something with hidden meaning and make her guess.
After all, the prince's thoughts are really hard to guess.
Li Runrun knelt down obediently. Fortunately, the carriage didn't seem to have gone very far and stopped.
Ye Yunchu stood up: "Why don't you catch up."
Li Runrun hurriedly followed him out of the car.
Thinking I was back at the Marquis' Mansion, I looked up and saw the palace gate.
Li Runrun was so frightened that her legs went weak.
World, where did the prince bring her from?
Help.
Ye Yunchu flashed the token, then lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, sat in, and motioned Li Ruanruan: "Come in."
Li Ruanruan was very timid: "My Lord, I'm here, carriage, waiting for you."
"Come in."
Ye Yunchu seemed impatient and yelled at her: "Are you asking me to get a whip?"
Li Runrun was as obedient as a quail and followed Ye Yunchu into the sedan chair.
She was very nervous and didn't know where the prince was going to take her.
The sedan chair stopped at the East Palace.
Ye Yunchu put Li Ruanruan aside and said to her, "Wait for me here."
Then he left.
A eunuch came over to serve tea and snacks to Li Runruan. Li Runruan felt a thorn under her butt, making her feel uneasy, but she was also afraid of making a fool of herself and embarrassing the prince.
So he sat upright and didn't dare to move.
The Crown Prince is reading memorials to help his father relieve his worries. The Emperor has been having a headache lately, so the Crown Prince will go through all the memorials sent to the imperial desk and only present the important ones.
The prince frowned fiercely when he read the report on the disaster. When he heard footsteps, he slammed the report in his hand on the table after a while.
"Where has the money for disaster relief gone? There are still so many victims. They even dare to embezzle the money for disaster relief. I think they are tired of living."
Ye Yunchu placed the military token of the Crown Prince's private army, the Chengying Army, on the table: "We still need to send someone down for this matter."
"Oh? Who should I send? Do you have any recommendations?"
"Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."
"You're talking about Shancheng's father, which is quite appropriate."
The prince glanced at the military token and changed the subject, "I heard you were causing such a commotion at the pawnshop. I thought you'd finally given up and was going to shut down that filthy place. I didn't expect you to just send two servants out. It seems these two are not ordinary people. Who are they? Tell me about it."
