There were only a few fragmented images in her dream. She seemed to see yellow sand all over the sky and shouts coming from the distant horizon.
There were many figures around, but she couldn't make out their faces.
There seem to be some familiar faces, but more are strangers.
There seemed to be a faint smell of blood in the air.
Ye Chutang wanted to see more clearly, but found that his feet seemed to be fixed in place and he could not move forward at all.
The shouting became more urgent and closer.
Ye Chutang looked in the direction where the voice came from, and a figure suddenly jumped out.
Just as she was about to see the man's appearance, she suddenly woke up.
In the silent night, there was only the faint sound of breathing, and everything seemed to be immersed in the black night, unable to be distinguished.
Ye Chutang glanced at the little girl nestled in his arms. She was sleeping soundly.
As if she had noticed something, she hugged Ye Chutang's arm and rubbed it gently with her soft little face.
Ye Chutang let out a light breath and tucked the quilt in for her, but everything in the dream just now kept replaying in his mind.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried to recall, she couldn't see it more clearly.
After trying without any results, Ye Chutang finally gave up, but he couldn't get rid of the doubts in his heart.
——This is definitely not an ordinary dream.
It concerns the future and foreshadows the unknown.
She was very sure that this must be a scene that would happen at some point in the future, but... where was it? And who were those people?
Finally, who was the source of the vague cry that kept echoing in her ears?
Ye Chutang rarely had such unclear dreams, he couldn't even see a person's face clearly.
What does this indicate?
…
Once Ye Chutang woke up, he couldn't fall asleep again.
She kept her eyes open until dawn, and a rare hint of blue appeared under her eyes.
Xiaowu noticed early in the morning that his elder sister seemed to be in a bad mood. After taking a closer look, he realized that his elder sister had insomnia.
Sure enough, as soon as Ye Chutang got on the carriage, he leaned back and closed his eyes to rest.
Xiaowu sat obediently opposite, holding a comic book and reading it quietly.
This was drawn by Ye Chutang himself for her. There are many copies of this book at home. Each book is only the size of a palm, and each page has only a few numbers, but it tells many wonderful stories.
In fact, Xiaowu already knows quite a few words now, but Ye Chutang has been quite busy recently, and fearing that she would be bored alone, he specially prepared these for her to entertain herself.
Xiaowu even turned the pages of the book very quietly, for fear of disturbing his elder sister's sleep.
However, there are always some ignorant people who insist on walking into the trap.
As soon as they arrived at the palace gate, the carriage was stopped by someone.
"Miss Ye Er?"
A familiar female voice came from outside.
Xiaowu blinked: It sounds like Princess Yuhe?
Sure enough, I heard, "May I take up half a minute of your time? I have something important to tell you."
The eunuch driving the car naturally recognized her and was a little confused for a moment, so he turned around and asked, "Second Miss Ye, what do you think?"
His duty was to pick up Ye Chutang, but there was still time and he wouldn't delay for even a quarter of an hour.
Even though Xiao Chengxuan was imprisoned now, Concubine Ru was still in the palace, and they didn't dare to offend Xiao Lanxi too much.
Ye Chutang was not actually asleep.
The carriage is shaking all the way, who can sleep well?
Especially when you have to get up early to work, no one would be happy.
So, after hearing this voice, Ye Chutang's irritability became even more severe.
She didn't have much interaction with Princess Yuhe, but this was not the first time she had been blocked by her.
Ye Chutang opened his eyes, his face expressionless.
She opened the curtain and saw Xiao Lanxi standing in front of her.
She was wearing a palace dress, a fox fur cloak, and holding a heater in her hands. Her cheeks and nose were flushed, as if she had been waiting here for a long time.
"I wonder what important matter the princess has?" Ye Chutang asked.
Xiao Lanxi had indeed been waiting here for a long time.
She had been standing here since daybreak, and now her legs were numb and stiff.
She gave an embarrassed smile, perhaps because it was too cold and her face was tight, so the smile didn't look very relaxed.
"I know Miss Ye Er still has to go see the emperor and can't delay, so I'll make it short."
She exhaled a breath of hot air and looked at Ye Chutang hopefully, but seemed to find it difficult to speak:
"My mother has not been feeling well these past two days. The medicine the imperial physician has used is not working. I wonder if Miss Ye Er can help take a look?"
Ye Chutang came to his senses and felt that this matter was extremely outrageous.
"Princess, do you want me to go and see Concubine Ru?"
Is she serious?
Xiao Chengxuan had an unshirkable responsibility for Ye Zheng's death. It was not an exaggeration to say that both sides were enemies. Today, they actually asked her to treat Concubine Ru?
Does she seem to have too good a temper, or does Concubine Ru want to test how tough her life is?
"yes."
Xiao Lanxi seemed to realize that this was not appropriate, and looked embarrassed.
"Originally, we didn't dare to disturb her, but seeing my mother suffering from illness, I really couldn't bear it. I hope Miss Ye, a kind doctor, can take a look at my mother? It will only take a while. Miss Ye can go when she is free. We will be very grateful."
Xiao Lanxi's words were sincere and heartfelt.
As a princess, she had waited here for a long time and asked for help in person. Her attitude was indeed very good and there was nothing wrong with her.
A gust of wind blew and Xiaowu shrank his neck.
This trick may work for others, but not for my sister.
Especially...my sister who didn’t sleep well.
Sure enough, the next moment, Ye Chutang spoke calmly.
"Please go back, Princess. I'm sorry I can't comply with your request."
Xiao Lanxi didn't expect Ye Chutang to refuse so straightforwardly, and she couldn't help but choke.
"No, it won't take you long, as long as——"
"Since the imperial physicians at the Imperial Hospital can't cure it, it must be a disease that requires a lot of effort. I sympathize with the Imperial Concubine's situation, but Your Majesty is in poor health. I am already exhausted from dealing with it, and I don't have the time or energy to do anything else."
Ye Chutang said,
"Princess, please seek help from someone else." (End of this chapter)
