"Um……"
Ye Jintang was clearly taken aback by Ye Ling's concern and felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Seeing that his gaze was still fixed on her, Ye Jintang said, "I'm perfectly fine. Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised Your Highness."
"This king..."
Just as Ye Ling was about to say something, she heard footsteps approaching.
Green Lotus learned from Zhou Zheng that her young mistress was talking with the Regent, and it was inappropriate for her to disturb her.
However, the old lady's situation was indeed somewhat strange, and knowing her identity, Green Lotus dared not be negligent.
When they were some distance away from Ye Jintang and Ye Ling, Lü He tentatively called out in their direction.
"Miss……"
Hearing the call, Ye Jintang looked up and saw Lühe standing there. Judging from her expression, it seemed that something had happened.
Just now, Lühe was staying with the Empress Dowager in the back residence, so her appearance at this time must mean something happened.
Ye Jintang did not want Ye Ling to know about the Empress Dowager's affairs for the time being.
"Your Highness, it's time for you to leave."
Ye Jintang spoke directly to Ye Ling.
Ye Ling paused for a moment, then looked at the green lotus beside her, vaguely guessing that Ye Jintang had said she was leaving because of this maid's arrival.
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
Ye Ling asked Ye Jintang.
"None available."
Ye Ling felt a little disappointed after hearing this, but she had come to know Ye Jintang's personality from their time together.
Since she asked him to leave, there must be something she didn't want him to know. If he stayed any longer, it would only backfire.
Thinking this, Ye Ling left decisively, but there was still a hint of reluctance in her eyes when she looked at Ye Jintang as she left.
"come over."
After Ye Ling left with her people, Ye Jintang gestured to Lü He.
"What happened?"
As Green Lotus drew nearer, Ye Jintang asked again.
"Miss, that old lady... I don't know why she suddenly fainted just now."
"coma?"
Ye Jintang hesitated. Logically speaking, the evil energy in the Empress Dowager's body had been expelled by her, and with the treatment she had received over the past few days, there was no way she would have fainted.
Could it be...? Ye Jintang thought of the scene when Su Xuerou came.
It was strange enough that Su Xuerou was able to break through among those people.
Most importantly, she could sense the presence of malevolent energy on Su Xuerou, even if the feeling was only for a moment.
Unfortunately, the circumstances at the time were not a good time to investigate.
Ye Jintang was worried that something might happen to the Empress Dowager, so he quickly went inside.
When she entered the room, she saw the Empress Dowager lying on the couch, looking very weak. After taking the Empress Dowager's pulse, Ye Jintang frowned slightly.
Just as she had expected, there were still some who had slipped through the net among those malevolent energies.
Moreover, the problem largely stems from Su Xuerou.
However, matters concerning Su Xuerou must be put aside for now; the priority is to treat the Empress Dowager.
With his previous success, it wouldn't be difficult for Ye Jintang to restore the Empress Dowager's health.
"Green Lotus, you can go out first."
Seeing that Lühe was still standing to the side, Ye Jintang gave instructions.
Green Lotus nodded, simply responding before walking outside.
After the door to the room was closed, Ye Jintang began to treat the Empress Dowager.
Before long, the last bit of malevolent energy completely vanished, and Ye Jintang got up and waited for the Empress Dowager to wake up.
In the past two days, Ye Jintang had consulted a fortune teller. He believed that in order to break the current situation, in addition to relying on the regent Ye Ling, there was another person: the Empress Dowager.
Otherwise, with these people forcibly labeling her as the daughter of a disgraced official, many things would become extremely difficult for her.
Not to mention finding out the truth and giving Ye He justice.
Ye Jintang knew that achieving these goals would not be easy, which was why he had to take it one step at a time.
"Miss, how is the Empress Dowager?"
When Green Lotus, who was waiting outside, saw Ye Jintang come out from inside and saw that there was no one else around, she dared to reveal the old lady's true identity.
"He's out of danger," Ye Jintang replied.
"Green Lotus, what else happened before the Empress Dowager fell into a coma?"
"Miss, it seems that the Empress Dowager knows your identity..." Green Lotus thought to herself, her expression showing a hint of nervousness.
Fearing that Ye Jintang might misunderstand, she quickly explained, "Miss, this servant has never mentioned these things to the Empress Dowager, you..."
Ye Jintang remained extremely calm upon hearing this, for she had never intended to conceal anything when she chose to save the Empress Dowager.
Seeing Lühe's nervous appearance, Ye Jintang replied, "I know, I know. You stay here and wait for the Empress Dowager to wake up before telling me."
After saying that, Ye Jintang walked outside.
The Regent's Palace.
"Your Highness, I have made some progress in investigating the Empress Dowager's disappearance."
"Are you saying this matter is related to Ye Jintang?"
Ye Ling looked at Leng Yi who had come over and spoke slowly.
"yes."
Leng nodded. "I suspect that the Empress Dowager was taken away by Miss Ye, and that she is very likely in Miss Ye's clinic."
"But Your Highness, rest assured, only our people know about this matter. Even the Emperor himself has not received any news about it."
Ye Ling gave a soft hum, showing little emotional reaction to the matter.
"Your Highness, I don't understand why Miss Ye brought the Empress Dowager to the clinic, and..."
Before Leng Yi could finish speaking, she saw Ye Ling give her a look.
Leng Yi immediately lowered his head, "This subordinate has overstepped his bounds."
"She has her reasons for doing this. Since she doesn't want others to know about it, I also don't want any accidents to happen."
"Leng Yi, do you understand what I'm saying?"
Leng Yi's expression became increasingly respectful.
"Your Highness, please accept my reply. I understand."
Thinking of the scene at the clinic, Ye Ling curled his lips, a smile on his handsome face.
Whatever she wants to do, I should cooperate.
And the Marquis's residence.
Jiang Mubai felt increasingly aggrieved as he thought about it; how could a dignified marquis like him be so humiliated by a woman?
When Ye Jintang returns to the mansion, he will definitely teach this vicious woman a lesson.
Just then, the steward's report came through.
"My lord, the old lady has awakened!"
Upon hearing this news, Jiang Mubai immediately went to his mother's courtyard.
Since Ye Jintang's outburst, my mother has been in a coma ever since.
Even though he consulted many doctors to treat his mother, he saw no improvement for a long time.
That's why he agreed to Xue Rou's suggestion to go to the temple to pray for blessings; who would have thought so many things would happen afterward.
When Jiang Mubai arrived, he saw Old Madam Jiang lying motionless on the bed, as if she had been stimulated by something. She only reacted when Jiang Mubai approached her.
"Mu Bai..."
Jiang Mubai was about to respond and ask some more questions, but before he could speak, he saw that his mother had fainted again.
"What on earth is going on?!"
Jiang Mubai called out several times, but when his mother did not respond, he turned and angrily questioned the maids around him.
