Chapter 341 Paying for Life (Part 1)
The eldest princess sighed, "He has had a hard time these past few years. It's rare for him to meet a young man he likes."
This is a good thing for Feng Zhang and Ye Yunfeng.
However, Ye Chutang seemed unmoved and only smiled slightly: "Ah Feng is naughty, Lord Feng must be more tolerant."
The eldest princess thought that her words were just politeness and modesty, and did not take it to heart. She gently patted Lan Yi's hand that was massaging her shoulders.
Lan Yi stopped at the right time and took half a step back.
"Recently I feel that my body is much stronger than before, thanks to your help in taking care of me."
The princess smiled and looked at her. The more she looked, the more she liked her.
"My knees used to ache terribly whenever it rained, but recently they have gradually gotten better and my legs and feet are much more flexible now!"
Ye Chutang handed the prescription to Lan Yi and said, "Although this is the case, it is cold in autumn, so you still have to take good care of yourself."
The princess nodded repeatedly, and then smiled and said with emotion: "Your medical skills are really rare. Even if those old guys from the Imperial Hospital came, they might not be able to beat you!"
"You are too kind, Princess. Chu Tang doesn't deserve it."
I have seen countless difficult and complicated cases in the past, but compared to this, the eldest princess's case is nothing.
The princess suddenly remembered something and said with a smile, "Oh, by the way, Yuhe will also return to the capital for this autumn hunt. She has been weak since she was a child, and has never seen any improvement after seeing countless famous doctors. Now that she has you, maybe she can get better!"
Ye Chutang searched his mind for a moment and finally remembered who she was talking about—Princess Yuhe, Xiao Lanxi.
There are three princesses in the world, and this one is the least favored.
It is said that her biological mother was just an ordinary palace maid. The current emperor visited her after getting drunk and was very upset when she woke up. Unexpectedly, a month later, the palace maid became pregnant.
Now she had to be promoted and given the title of Concubine Jing.
Three years after giving birth to the third princess, Xiao Lanxi, Concubine Jing passed away. Concubine Ru took the initiative to ask the current emperor to bring Princess Yuhe to her side to raise her.
Because Concubine Ru was favored, Princess Yu and Princess' treatment also improved a lot, and they no longer had to work as hard as before.
But this kind of life only lasted for eight years.
Xiao Lanxi was a premature baby and was very weak at birth. Her life was even more difficult because her biological mother was hated by the current emperor. When she was eleven years old, she fell seriously ill. The imperial physician said that the climate in the capital was dry, and it would be better to send her to the south where it is humid and warm.
The third princess therefore returned to Guanling.
The reason why she said "Hui" is because this is the hometown of her biological mother.
This time I was gone for six years.
"She is exactly seventeen this year, the same age as you." The eldest princess may have recalled the past and was quite emotional. "She was only that tall when she left the capital. I don't know what she looks like now."
Ye Chutang had no impression of Princess Yuhe, simply because she had no presence at all.
There are many princes and princesses, but only this one was sent away. Everyone can see that she is not favored by the emperor.
Now that I'm back, I don't know what the situation will be like.
Ye Chutang nodded gently: "Don't worry, Princess. Chutang will do his best."
The princess smiled happily: "I feel relieved now that you said this!"
It seems that they really regard Ye Chutang as an omnipotent miracle doctor.
At this moment, a little maid with a hurried look suddenly came in from outside and whispered in Zhuxin's ear.
Zhu Xin's expression changed slightly and she glanced at Ye Chutang.
Ye Chutang seemed to be aware of something and narrowed his eyes slightly.
The eldest princess also noticed something and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhu Xin hesitated for a moment and said, "Second Miss Ye, Gao committed suicide."
…
Gao hanged herself at night.
The maid got up early and came to the door and called her several times but no one answered. When she pushed open the door, she saw a tilted round stool. Gao had hanged herself and was no longer alive.
The maid screamed, and ran out tumbling in fear.
Truth will come to light sooner or later, and when someone dies, it is impossible for it to remain silent.
The news should have been delivered to the Ye Mansion, but since Ye Chutang came to the Princess's Mansion, it was passed here instead.
The eldest princess frowned: "She's dead!?"
Zhu Xin nodded: "We didn't want to publicize it, after all, it's not a glorious thing, but the neighbors heard Gao's screams and curses every day, so it was strange that it was suddenly quiet. After a little investigation, we found out that something had happened."
The eldest princess slowly leaned back in her chair.
The death of Gao Shi was naturally not worthy of her taking it to heart, but...
She looked at Ye Chutang, only to see that Ye Chutang's brows were slightly frowned.
The eldest princess comforted her, "Although she is your aunt, she bullied you too much in the past. You don't have to be sad if she dies today."
Ye Chutang was certainly not sad, he just felt something was wrong.
She knew Gao's character very well. She would never commit suicide. Moreover, Gao had just suffered a loss at her hands some time ago. She was full of resentment and had no way to vent it. She must have planned many conspiracies to get back her face.
How could he die like this?
Ye Chutang's mind raced, and he stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Princess, for your consolation, but after all, I used to call her Second Aunt. Now that she's in trouble, it's not appropriate for Chutang to stay here any longer, so I'll take my leave first."
The eldest princess patted her hands and advised her not to worry too much. Then she asked Zhuxin to go to the inner room to wake up Xiaowu who was taking a nap, and sent someone to send them back.
When Xiaowu got on the carriage, he was still in a daze and didn't know what was going on.
Ye Chutang held her in his arms, straightened her sleep-messy hair, and fell into deep thought.
Gao's death was strange.
It's really strange that he died at this time instead of earlier or later.
Ye Chutang felt something was not right, as if he was shrouded in a fog and could not see clearly.
Xiaowu didn't know what his sister was thinking, and he lay on her neck and rubbed it affectionately.
Ye Chutang stroked her back gently.
Suddenly, the moving carriage stopped abruptly, and the horse raised its front hooves and neighed!
“Yu——!”
The carriage shook, and Xiaowu's eyes were suddenly filled with deep fear and anxiety. His little hands subconsciously grasped the corner of Ye Chutang's clothes, and his little face turned pale.
Ye Chutang frowned, and immediately hugged Xiaowu tightly, steadying her body, and whispered to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, Xiaowu, sister is here."
Xiaowu buried himself in her arms, not saying a word, but his little body was trembling slightly.
She hadn't been this scared in a long, long time.
Ye Chutang's eyes were cold. He opened the curtain and asked in a cold voice, "What happened?"
What kind of trouble could possibly happen on the street?
The coachman also knew that he had made a mistake, and hurriedly said: "Miss Ye Er, please forgive me! I, I didn't mean it! It's just that someone suddenly blocked the car, so I-"
There was no need to say the rest, because Ye Chutang had already seen the figure blocking the way of the carriage.
He was dressed in plain white and looked emaciated.
——Ye Shixian.
That familiar, young and pretty face was now looking at him with hatred and despair.
"Ye Chutang! Return my mother's life to me!"
