"So Your Highness doesn't care about that?"
Ye Ling's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, giving off an extremely strong sense of pressure. Ye Jintang's figure was reflected in his eyes, and the probing in his eyes became even more intense.
"Miss Ye seems to know quite a lot."
Ye Jintang curled her lips and continued, meeting Ye Ling's gaze, "I not only know about the Soul-Devouring Powder, but I also know that anyone poisoned by it will feel as if they are in an ice cellar on the fifteenth of each month, and will suffer a fate worse than death. If they are martial artists, they will lose all their martial arts skills."
"There are rumors that Your Highness will face a great calamity in your twenty-fifth year. If you can overcome it, you will live in peace thereafter. But if you cannot..."
Ye Jintang spoke slowly and deliberately, knowing that to get Ye Ling's help, she had to show her utmost sincerity.
“I not only know medicine, but also some esoteric arts. I can help Your Highness resolve this calamity and undo the Soul-Devouring Powder. However, Your Highness must also agree to one condition.”
"Is this an exchange?"
Ye Ling looked serious and showed great interest in what Ye Jintang was saying.
Ye Jintang shook his head, "How can you call it an exchange? This is cooperation."
"interesting."
Ye Ling chuckled, "Ye Jintang, then tell me your conditions."
“We agree on a one-year term. During this period, Your Highness must protect my father and me, and in return, I will detoxify Your Highness.”
"Ye Jintang, I have no objection to protecting you, but your father..." Ye Ling paused, "You should know that Ye He deserted the battlefield. If this crime is not cleared, even if he survives, he will have to hide every day."
“My father could not have done such a thing. As for the charge, it was just something that was forced upon him by others.”
Ye Jintang replied that, whether it was the original owner's trust in Ye He or the descriptions in the book, she had complete confidence in Ye He's character.
"Your Highness only needs to agree or not; I have my own ways to handle the rest."
Ye Jintang replied.
"How can I trust you?"
Ye Jintang took out a bottle from his sleeve and handed it to Ye Ling.
"What is this?" Ye Ling reached out and took it. He remembered that Ye Jintang had also taken out a bottle when she approached the carriage.
"There are three pills in the bottle. Your Highness can take one first, which will help restore the meridians damaged by the poison. As for the other two, it will be the fifteenth soon, and I think Your Highness will definitely need them."
Ye Ling opened the bottle as Ye Jintang had instructed and indeed found three pills. He picked up one of them and swallowed it.
The moment he entered the mouth, he felt a gas flowing through his body, and the areas damaged by the poison were actually slowly recovering.
The most obvious change was that the wounds on his arms had all disappeared.
Although Ye Ling knew that Ye Jintang was exceptionally capable, she was still secretly surprised when she saw the scene before her.
Ye Jintang smiled and asked, "How is Your Highness feeling now?"
"Miss Ye is truly remarkable; it's only a one-year term..."
Seeing that Ye Ling still had reservations, Ye Jintang continued, "If I fail to cure Your Highness's poison within a year, then I will submit to Your Highness's disposal."
"Very well, I agree to this cooperation."
"Miss Ye, please don't disappoint me."
Ye Jintang felt slightly relieved when Ye Ling agreed.
She didn't care, but Ye He still needed some time to regain consciousness, and even if he came back to the capital with her, there would be many inconveniences.
If Ye Ling is willing to help, with him around, at least no one can openly provoke Ye He.
Ye Jintang glanced at the sky and thought of Lühe, who was still waiting for her outside the valley. Since Ye He was alright, she had no reason to stay any longer.
"Your Highness, rest assured."
“My maid is still waiting for me outside the valley. I’ll leave Father here in Your Highness’s care.”
Seeing that Ye Jintang was about to leave, Ye Ling called out, "Wait."
Ye Jintang stopped and looked at him hesitantly.
Ye Ling approached him and took a jade pendant from her waist.
"This jade pendant represents me and allows me to freely enter and leave the Regent's Palace. If you encounter any difficulties, you can use it to come to me."
"As for General Ye, since I have agreed to cooperate with you, I will make proper arrangements for him."
Ye Jintang accepted the jade pendant. She was new to this world, and although she had Xuanmen techniques to protect her, the spiritual energy in this world was too thin.
If you want to use some special spells, you must mobilize spiritual energy from the space.
Given the current situation, and the fact that this body is clearly not able to support it.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Ye Jintang said this and turned to leave, with Gray Wolf following closely behind.
Ye Ling watched the departing figures of the man and the wolf quietly, her eyes filled with contemplation.
Knowing both medicine and esoteric arts, if I'm not mistaken, Ye Jintang can also understand what that wolf is saying.
That's really interesting...
"Leng Yi".
Upon hearing the call, Leng Yi appeared before Ye Ling and respectfully said, "Please give your orders, Master."
"Send a few people to secretly escort Miss Ye back to the capital, without letting her discover your presence."
"yes."
Leng Yi immediately went to do it.
As they were about to leave the valley, Ye Jintang noticed the gray wolf was still following them and said, "What, are you going to leave with me?"
Awoo.
[Is that alright? I've seen what the outside world is like.]
The gray wolf then let out another howl.
Most importantly, this woman is amazing; if you stay by her side, you're guaranteed to have meat at every meal.
Ye Jintang laughed and said, "If that's the case, what will happen to your dear wife?"
"Its condition still needs your care."
Gray Wolf was also in a dilemma when he heard Ye Jintang's words.
You have a point.
The gray wolf lowered its head, seemingly lost in thought.
[Woman, then I'll take good care of my wife, and then I'll come find you with it, okay?]
Ye Jintang was amused by Gray Wolf's words and immediately replied, "Of course."
The premise is that the gray wolf can still find him by then.
[Alright, woman, don't forget me.]
Even after Ye Jintang had walked far away, the howling of the gray wolf could still be heard behind him.
If conditions allowed, she really wanted to take the wolf back with her.
Its offensive power has already been demonstrated before, and even highly skilled martial artists must be extremely cautious when facing it.
Most importantly, it has a goofy personality.
Keeping them around can add some fun to a boring life.
However… Ye Jintang looked ahead and knew that this trip back to the capital would not be peaceful, whether it was the Marquis's mansion or his father.
"Miss!"
Green Lotus, who was waiting by the carriage, heard the noise and cautiously went forward to check until she saw Ye Jintang appear in her line of sight.
Green Lotus rushed forward and asked anxiously, "Miss, are you injured?"
“I’m fine,” Ye Jintang replied.
Seeing this, Green Lotus felt a little relieved, and then looked around again.
"Miss, has there been any news about the master?"
"My father is doing well for now, but he can't come back with us yet."
"So what should we do now?"
Knowing that Yehe was alright, Lühe didn't ask any more questions.
"Go back to Beijing!"
