Chapter 646: New Life (Update 1)
"Why--"
Xiao Jiayi suddenly became anxious, and quickly suppressed her voice as soon as she spoke.
"You, you're just leaving like that? Then, what about the thing you promised to help me with..."
"There's no rush."
Ye Chutang smiled.
"If they were so easy to deal with, you wouldn't have fallen into such a big trouble, right?"
Xiao Jiayi was speechless.
She also knew that what Ye Chutang said was right. It would not be a matter of a day or a night to bring down those people.
Even though she hated it very much, she had to endure it for the time being and wait for the next day!
"Okay, then I will continue to wait until the day when they pay the price for what they have done!"
Xiao Jiayi bit her lips and teeth until they bled. She spent a lot of energy to suppress her emotions and stared straight at a corner in the darkness.
"I hope you won't let me down..."
No one responded from the other side.
A breeze blew and the windows rattled.
Xiao Jiayi looked back and vaguely heard the servants in charge of guarding the yard outside complaining softly.
"What bad luck! I don't know how long we have to stay here?"
"Hey, the one inside probably won't live long. Once she dies and we get the reward money, we'll naturally have somewhere else to go!"
"That's right! Looking at her condition, I'm afraid she won't make it to summer, right?"
"That's what I think!"
…
Xiao Jiayi closed her eyes and dug her nails deep into her palms.
She has to endure and wait!
One day, she will make Xie Anjun repay all the torture and humiliation she has suffered a hundredfold!
…
Just as the sky was getting light, Ye Jingyan heard the door creak open.
After guarding for most of the night, he finally felt relieved and opened his mouth silently towards the familiar figure that came in.
"Sister, you're back."
Ye Chutang came to his side, nodded gently, and glanced at Xiaowu who was sleeping soundly.
Ye Jingyan looked at her and vaguely saw a layer of morning dew on the corner of her clothes.
But other than that, there are no other traces.
He didn't ask where she had been, as long as he saw that she returned safely.
"Then Sister, take some sleep first. I'll pack and go to the Imperial College."
Ye Chutang nodded, and then thought of something.
"By the way, have you ever heard anyone mention Prince Jing while you were in the Imperial College?"
"Prince Jing?" Ye Jingyan thought for a moment. "Before, when the Wazhen delegation was about to come, I did hear many people mention this Fourth Prince, but then Prince Lie woke up from his coma and naturally took over the responsibility, and no one said anything more."
Emperor Muwu had few descendants, and after picking and choosing, only King Lie could take on the important task.
"After all, Prince Jing is disabled, and he is a long way from that position."
The officials in the court either chose Xiao Chengxuan or supported Xiao Chengqi, but no one cared about Xiao Chenglin.
——Who would place all their bets on a hopeless person?
Seeing that Ye Chutang was still silent, Ye Jingyan felt a little strange, "What's wrong, sister? Why did you suddenly mention him?"
Ye Chutang's red lips curled up slightly, revealing a subtle smile.
"Really? What if King Lie didn't wake up at that time?"
"Then..." Ye Jingyan was suddenly speechless.
His expression changed slightly, "Sister, what do you mean by that?"
Ye Chutang tucked the quilt in for Xiao Wu and said slowly, "Ayan, you have to know that in this world, we should be prepared for the worst."
Once that idea comes true, the one who can call the shots in the court will be Xiao Chenglin.
Ye Jingyan's heart was beating rapidly.
He knew exactly what Ye Chutang meant, but——
"He has a leg disease. Even if he really wants to do this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to accomplish, right?"
Ye Chutang turned around and looked at him, his eyebrows slightly raised.
"Is a leg disease destined to be incurable? Have you forgotten that he is not the only one with a leg disability that I have seen?"
Isn’t there one busy in Longcheng now?
Moreover, according to her speculation, the man's leg disease should have improved a lot.
He still has two broken legs.
Xiao Chenglin only had one broken leg.
"Even the dead can be resurrected, let alone... a broken leg?"
…
Prince Jing's Mansion.
Xiao Chenglin was sitting under the porch, tending to the flowers and plants with his own hands.
There were dead branches planted in several flower pots, not a single bit of green.
But he still looked serious, his movements were meticulous, and he looked very attentive.
"Your Highness, let me do it." said the attendant standing at the side.
Xiao Chenglin shook his head, "If you can't do it, I'll do it myself."
The attendant took a look at the dry branches and had no choice but to agree.
After looking at it for a while, he couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, although the weather has been warmer recently, it's not the season for flowers and plants to grow luxuriantly yet. Isn't it a waste of effort for you to do this?"
"You don't understand this." Xiao Chenglin patted the dirt on his hands nonchalantly, and looked at the flower pot he had just trimmed and renovated with satisfaction, with a faint smile on his beautiful face, "Everything must be prepared in advance. Besides, although this is a dead branch, the roots underneath are alive and well. It will come alive again and flourish with the spring breeze. By then, it will definitely be a beautiful sight."
The long-servant handed over a clean handkerchief and said, "Master has a long-term vision."
Xiao Chenglin took it, carefully wiped the dirt off his hands, and asked casually, "I heard that Ye Chutang saw the third sister for the last time?"
"Yes. According to the information, it was an order from His Majesty."
Xiao Chenglin paused, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"That's a coincidence. She is a great doctor and had performed autopsies on those Nanhu assassins in public before. Why didn't she check Third Sister carefully?"
"Of course that's not possible. The Third Princess is worth a fortune, how can she offend her?"
Xiao Chenglin said "hmm".
"That's a shame. Given her personality, she should want to investigate it carefully."
But in this world, where can we find so many wishes come true?
Xiao Chenglin wiped his hands, threw the handkerchief down, and looked up.
He has been watching this world for many, many years.
"It's a nice day today." He smiled. "Father must be very sad about the loss of his beloved daughter. As a son, I must be by his side."
"Let's go into the palace and take a look."
The attendant immediately responded, "Yes."
…
Dingbei Marquis Mansion.
Shen Yanchuan opened the envelope and a thin piece of letter paper fell out.
If Xie Anbai were here, he would definitely complain that he couldn't understand the scribbles on the lettering.
——This is also a letter from Wazhen.
However, unlike the previous one, the handwriting in this letter was very sloppy, and it was obvious that it was written in a hurry.
Yun Cheng stood with his hands hanging down and could not see the words above.
But he knew who the letter was from.
"Master, what is the purpose of Ugle writing to you at this time?"
Yun Cheng couldn't figure it out.
"According to the date, he should be fighting with his good brother right now. How can he have time to write to you?"
