Chapter 365 Half Life (Update 1)
Xiao Chengxuan felt very disgusted when he mentioned this name, and his face turned ugly.
"That's her! Why, you know her?"
Xiao Lanxi shook her head: "That's not the case. I just returned to the capital and only had time to come to my brother's place. What else can I talk about? It's just... I have indeed heard of this name. The queen in the palace has mentioned it before."
Xiao Chengxuan said in a mocking tone: "She is very capable and is the focus wherever she goes. It would be strange if you haven't heard of her."
He thought Ye Chutang was finally in big trouble this time, and he only needed to watch her fail miserably and her reputation be ruined.
Who knew there would be such a shocking reversal!
"Is Ye Shixian crazy? Why would she kill her own mother?!"
It's easy to imagine that once this news comes out, no one will discuss Ye Chutang anymore. Some people may even feel that she was wronged before and want to speak up for her!
"How is the investigation going in Shuntian Prefecture?"
The attendant bowed his head and said, "I am incompetent and have not found any information yet."
Xiao Chengxuan became even more annoyed.
There was no one of his kind in Shuntian Prefecture. When he was at the peak of his power, he tried several times but failed to get the Shuntian Prefecture Governor Zhao Chengyin to side with him.
He was an old fox in the officialdom, very cunning. Zhang Qian was promoted by him, and they were of the same blood.
Shuntian Prefecture became a tough nut to crack, giving Xiao Chengxuan a huge headache.
He couldn't handle it when he was in power, let alone now.
"Got it. You go down first. If you have any news, report it immediately!"
"yes!"
The followers retreated respectfully. Xiao Chengxuan was extremely annoyed. He picked up the wine jar and was about to pour the wine, but when he raised his hand, it was empty. Then he remembered that it was empty.
Xiao Lanxi stood up and poured him some tea, and advised, "Brother, why do you have to care about this? Since the case has been sent to Shuntian Prefecture, there will be a result sooner or later."
Xiao Chengxuan frowned: "You haven't been in the capital for a long time, you don't know how difficult that Ye - that Ye family is!"
Xiao Lanxi seemed a little puzzled.
"Brother, are you talking about... Ye Chutang? But I heard that she is an excellent doctor. Everyone in the palace admires her very much. They say that she raised several brothers and sisters alone. She is really not an ordinary woman. It seems that before she returned to the capital, she also saved the life of the son of Dingbei Marquis by chance-"
"It's just a weird way, what's there to say!" Xiao Chengxuan interrupted her, disgust in his eyes almost overflowing, "As for medical skills... they are said to be miraculous, but how many people have seen it with their own eyes? If she can make a three-point disease into a ten-point disease, even a mediocre doctor can become a miracle doctor!"
Xiao Chengxuan has always looked down on Ye Chutang. She is just a poor young lady from an official family, without the support of her father or brother. Who knows how she has gotten to where she is today?
Xiao Lanxi paused, as if hesitant: "But... I heard that the Princess's Mansion and the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion both treated her as a guest of honor."
Xiao Chengxuan disagreed.
"You haven't seen her. When you see her, you will know that the woman is very cunning and has many thoughts!"
As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Lanxi's innocent and well-behaved appearance and shook his head.
"Forget it, you'd better stay away from her! Otherwise, you'll get fucked by someone else without even knowing it!"
Xiao Lanxi blinked and showed a gentle, timid and obedient smile.
"Lan Xi will do whatever the emperor says."
…
Ye Shixian never thought in her life that there would be a day when she would be imprisoned in the Sky Prison.
The dim and narrow corridor, the cold and hard iron door, and the sickening smell that filled her nose all made her tremble with fear.
But what made her most uncomfortable was the sharp roar and groaning like that of a ghost.
"Bang!"
The cell door was shut heavily and the jailer was about to leave.
"Wait!" Ye Shixian asked quickly, "Where is Shaoyao? Where is she being held now?"
She looked carefully just now, but after searching around, she didn't see any trace of Peony.
The jailer said impatiently, "During the interrogation just now, you only said that you were wrongly accused, and you refused to admit anything else. The master said that you will face Shaoyao in court again tomorrow! As for where she is imprisoned, it is not your business to ask, just wait!"
After saying this, the jailer walked away without stopping.
"I--"
Ye Shixian stretched out her hand, trying to grab him, but missed.
Suddenly, she felt a chill and subconsciously looked up, and saw several people imprisoned in the cells opposite. Their eyes fell on her exposed slender white wrist like a venomous snake.
One can tell at a glance that this wrist belongs to the daughter of a wealthy family. It is totally out of place in this place and is very eye-catching.
Ye Shixian's hair stood on end and she quickly withdrew her hand.
There was a burst of laughter from the cell opposite.
"Whose family is this lady from? She has fallen to the point of staying with us?"
Unspeakable fear surged from the bottom of her heart. Ye Shixian curled up in the corner, hugging herself with her hands, but still trembling unconsciously.
Those gazes did not disappear, like poisonous snakes hiding in the darkness, ready to rush up and bite her to death at any time!
She finally realized that the people imprisoned here were all extremely vicious.
She will definitely not have an easy time here!
She must get out as soon as possible!
But it is easier said than done.
Someone suddenly shouted, "You don't know yet, do you? She was imprisoned for killing her own mother!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd, which had been noisy and noisy, suddenly quieted down.
The atmosphere was extremely weird.
Ye Shixian retorted reflexively, "I didn't! Someone framed me... They framed me!"
Another hoarse voice mocked, "To be 'framed' with such a crime, it's not something that ordinary people can do, right?"
Ye Shixian was choked instantly.
She covered her ears, not wanting to hear any more words from those people, and just kept repeating:
"I didn't kill him. I didn't do it. I was wronged... I was wronged!"
…
That night.
Ye Chutang wrapped the prepared medicine, and tied it up in a few strokes with his slender, white and scallion-like fingers dancing.
Xiaowu sat opposite her, holding his chin with his hands, looking a little strange.
——Since returning to Beijing, my sister has rarely seen patients in person. Why did she suddenly start dispensing medicine herself this time?
Ye Chutang packed up and gently stroked his chin, thinking:
"It should be able to save half of my life..."
Xiaowu became even more curious.
——Half-Life?
My sister has never had any problem saving lives and treating illnesses. Fourth brother once said that the King of Hell lets people die at three o'clock in the morning, but my sister keeps them alive until five o'clock. How come she only leaves them half alive?
Seeing Xiaowu staring at the packets of medicine in confusion, Ye Chutang smiled and tapped her nose.
"What are you looking at? Do you want to eat?"
Xiaowu quickly covered his nose and hind legs.
No no no!
Medicine doesn't taste good at all! Not as good as jujube cake! Not as good as chestnut red bean paste!
In fact, Ye Chutang never thought that Ye Heng was so useless that he was about to die before reaching Tongbei.
Of course he couldn't die.
——At least not now.
