Chapter 238: Hardship (Part 1)
He was originally ordered to investigate Ye Chutang's situation, but he didn't expect that he couldn't even get through the door.
In recent days, Ye Jingyan has grown a little taller, and his thin and tall body almost blocks most of his vision, making it impossible for him to see what is happening in the courtyard, let alone anything else.
Ye Jingyan saw everything during these few seconds of looking around.
He naturally knew the other party's plan, but from the beginning, he had no intention of letting the other party in.
"Third brother!" Ye Yunfeng shouted from behind, "I'm going to make medicine for my sister, can you come and look after Xiaowu?"
Ye Jingyan turned around: "I'll be right there."
After saying this, he smiled apologetically at the person outside the door: "I'm really sorry, the house is very busy today, and it's not suitable to welcome guests. When my sister is feeling better another day, I will personally thank the Imperial Concubine and His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi."
The intention to expel the guest is obvious.
In order not to make things awkward, the other party could only force a smile and said, "No, Miss Ye's health is more important, so... I will not disturb you anymore."
Ye Jingyan thanked him politely again, closed the door and turned around.
"Xiaowu, come to Third Brother."
Looking at the closed door, several people looked at each other.
"this……"
His Highness sent such a valuable gift, but he couldn't even get through the door!
But most of the capital city knew that Ye Chutang was injured today. To be honest, it was understandable for the Ye family to close the door to visitors, and it was not really a big mistake.
In this way, they could only accept the rejection.
The leader took one last look and snorted.
"It seems that he is seriously injured... Never mind, let's go!"
…
Ye Jingyan took Xiaowu back to the room, put the box in his arms on the table, and told him everything that happened outside the door.
Ye Yunfeng, who followed closely behind, sneered: "Can they be so kind? I think there is something wrong with that Ganoderma lucidum!"
Ye Chutang opened the box and saw a Ganoderma lucidum of excellent quality lying quietly inside.
She reached out to take it, but Ye Yunfeng was worried: "Sister——"
"They are not so stupid as to dare to kill me so openly." Ye Chutang curled his lips and took a look at the Ganoderma lucidum. "If anything happens to me, they won't be able to escape."
Ye Yunfeng hesitated: "That's right. But what exactly do they mean by being so attentive?"
Ye Chutang looked at Ye Jingyan.
Ye Jingyan paused and said, "They are very concerned about my sister's condition, but they don't seem to believe that she was injured."
Ye Jingyan thought it was ridiculous: "Han Yao held my sister hostage in the street! How many people were watching? How could it be fake?"
I really don’t know where this suspicion comes from!
"His Highness the Prince of Qi has always been suspicious, so it's normal for him to think this way." Ye Chutang put the things back. "Since they are willing to give it to us, it's okay for us to accept it. In fact, he can wait until today to take action, which shows that he is quite patient."
Xiao Chengxuan probably wanted to investigate her ever since she returned to Beijing, but he was a cautious person, and if Han Yao hadn't brought up what happened back then today, Xiao Chengxuan would probably have been able to tolerate it.
Thinking of this, Ye Chutang raised his eyebrows slightly.
Ye Yunfeng asked curiously: "Sister, what are you laughing at?"
Ye Chutang's eyebrows curved: "I'm laughing. It's rare that the King of Qi still has the mind to worry about these things at this time."
Click.
She closed the box, her tone brisk.
"If he doesn't take action now, what will happen if the truth of what happened back then is uncovered?"
…
Dingbei Marquis Mansion.
Ke Yichang waited for two hours.
When it was getting dark, Shen Yanchuan finally came back.
Ke Yizhang stood up and saluted: "Prince."
"Doctor Ke, please wait." Chen Yanchuan raised his hand and told Yun Cheng to make another pot of tea. After the attendants left, he spoke again, "How is she doing?"
He specially asked Ke Yichang to see Ye Chutang, firstly to stop the gossips outside, and secondly because he was really worried.
Ke Yizhang looked at Shen Yanchuan, hesitant to speak.
It goes without saying that Shen Yanchuan went to the palace this time to ask for forgiveness.
He came back so late and in a hurry, but the first person to ask about it was Ye Chutang.
He had watched Shen Yanchuan grow up, but had he ever seen him care so much about someone before?
Chen Yanchuan vaguely sensed something in his heart: "Why, is her injury serious?"
"Miss Ye's injury today is not a cause for concern. It's just some superficial injuries. As long as the dressings are changed on time, it will heal in a while. Although Miss Ye looks weak, she is actually very calm and composed. She was not frightened by today's situation. But..."
Ke Yizhang paused, a look of hesitation appearing on his face.
"Sir, do you still remember that Miss Ye Er has a cold?"
Chen Yanchuan nodded.
"Yes. The Minister of the Court mentioned it."
Ke Yizhang shook his head helplessly: "Miss Ye Er is suffering from an old illness, and her qi and blood are deficient. It will be difficult to cure this disease!"
Chen Yanchuan frowned slightly.
Chu Qiyuan also mentioned this matter last time, but he didn't say much at that time. But now, from what Ke Yizhang said, Ye Chutang's cold symptoms seemed extremely difficult to cure.
"I heard that three years ago, during the severe winter snowfall, Second Miss Ye managed to escape death and brought several younger brothers and sisters south with her, managing to save her life with great difficulty. I think this disease was acquired during that time."
Ke Yizhang stroked his beard with a look of pity.
"During the snowstorm that year, countless refugees froze to death on the roadside, leaving no trace of their bodies. Miss Ye Er was only fourteen years old at the time, right? I don't know how she managed to survive... My granddaughter was about the same age as her. She was playful at the time and secretly ran out to play in the snow. As a result, the cold entered her body and she was sick for a month."
The daughter of a wealthy family in the capital was spoiled and pampered, but she was still like this, let alone Ye Chutang who had nowhere to go and was in a desperate situation at that time.
"Females are weak and young, so she is completely ill." Ke Yizhang raised his eyes to look at Chen Yanchuan and lowered his voice, "...I'm afraid it will be difficult to endure these days in the future."
