Chapter 143: Forcing Ye Anzhi to Kill His Mother
Ye Chutang rejected Qi Yanzhou's proposal.
"Your Majesty, you should know how precious ice leeches and cicadas are. I am not afraid that you will not return them, I am only afraid that you will not be able to keep them alive."
If the ice leech dies, there are replacements. If the cicada dies, it has to be hatched again.
With Qi Yanzhou's body, he can't wait to transform from an egg into a cicada.
After learning the specific procedures for detoxifying fire poison, Qi Yanzhou learned about ice leeches and cicadas through the court physician.
The court doctor said that ice leeches hatch in damp and cold places, grow up in warm and humid places, and then return to damp and cold places to lay eggs.
Chilling is the exact opposite.
They need two connected extreme environments to survive, which is hard to come by.
If he were in the capital, Qi Yanzhou would be confident that he could raise ice leeches and cicadas.
On the road to exile, it’s hard to say.
"Miss Ye is right to remind me. I was not thoughtful enough. If the witch doctor from Southern Xinjiang can come in time to remove the poison, I will arrange all matters related to the long journey and try not to let Miss Ye suffer."
Ye Chutang nodded, thinking that she had originally planned to leave Beijing to give birth to the child.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will never break my promise. Please go to the yard and sit for a while. I will pack up and come out soon."
Qi Yanzhou immediately stood up and left the boudoir.
Ye Chutang placed the ice leeches and cicadas into the space, poured out the water in the teapot, and filled it with spiritual spring water.
She carried the teapot and teacup and placed them on the stone table in the yard.
"Your Majesty, drink some water first. I'll go to the kitchen to check."
Le'er has returned and is busy in the kitchen.
She brought back a lot of dishes from the big kitchen, most of which only needed to be processed.
Seeing Ye Chutang enter the kitchen, she quickly said, "Miss, please go and entertain the prince. I can do it myself."
"The prince is injured, so please be gentle."
"As you command."
Ye Chutang couldn't stand the smell of cooking fumes, and his stomach began to churn again, so he hurried out of the kitchen.
She sat down at the stone table and discussed with Qi Yanzhou about attacking the "Night Demon".
After the discussion, she asked, "The prince's internal injuries are getting worse. Should we postpone the time?"
Qi Yanzhou shook his head, "I don't have much time left in the capital, and Miss Ye is in urgent need of someone useful."
He wanted to make Ye Chutang live with more confidence before leaving Beijing.
Ye Chutang asked curiously, "Your Highness, you care so much about me because I can help you get rid of the fire poison?"
Qi Yanzhou hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Yes."
If he had not chosen the path of exile, he would definitely have expressed his feelings to Ye Chutang.
But now, there is no need to say it and upset her.
Ye Chutang thought to herself: Sure enough, she was overthinking it.
She poured Qi Yanzhou a cup of spiritual spring water and said, "Your Majesty has great merits and will surely be able to turn danger into safety."
"Thank you Miss Ye for your good wishes."
As soon as he finished speaking, Le'er walked out of the kitchen.
"My Lady, Your Majesty, dinner is ready. Shall we eat now?"
Ye Chutang stood up and said, "Well, set the table."
After the food was served, she went to the kitchen and sat down in a seat farthest away from the fish.
"My Lord, this is just plain food. Please forgive me for making fun of you."
Qi Yanzhou thought Ye Chutang wanted to avoid suspicion, so he sat down opposite her.
"It's more sumptuous than what I ate at the palace."
"Please feel free to do as you please, Your Majesty."
Ye Chutang vomited everything in his stomach and was so hungry that he didn't care about table manners.
She specifically chooses light dishes that are not easy to make her sick.
Seeing Ye Chutang eating heartily, Qi Yanzhou's appetite improved and he ate more than usual.
After finishing his meal, he stood up and said goodbye.
"Thank you Miss Ye for your hospitality. See you tomorrow at Prince Chen's Mansion."
Ye Chutang understood what Qi Yanzhou meant and asked her to go to Prince Chen's Mansion to pick out gold, silver and jewelry.
She thought that apart from the banknotes, most of the treasures of the Qi family could not be taken away, so she agreed.
"Okay, I'll take you there, Your Majesty."
"Miss Ye, please stay. I will leave the house on my own."
"I'm just going to the front yard, come with me."
The two left Ningchuyuan.
Qi Yanzhou looked at the bloodstains at the gate and reminded, "Miss Ye, people's words are scary. Be careful of that woman before."
"Yes, I will."
When the two arrived at the front yard, Shan'er and Jinzhi had just finished counting the dowry.
Among the 128 loads of dowry, Tang Wanning's dowry exceeded 100 loads.
"Minister Ye's eating manners are really ugly."
After Qi Yanzhou finished speaking, he quickly left the Shangshu Mansion.
Ye Chutang called the guards and asked them to carry the dowry to Ning Chuyuan.
"No need for the box, take out the dowry and put it in the woodshed."
If he didn't do this, Ning Chuyuan would never be able to let it go.
"Yes, Miss."
"Dan'er, Aunt Jin, you guys go back and have dinner. I'm going to go look for Aunt Jiang."
Aunt Jiang had been beaten fifty times with her shoes by Dan'er and Le'er, and had passed out with blood all over her face.
Then she was sent back to the yard by the maid.
She was not favored and lived in Qingyouyuan, which was a remote place.
Ye Siyin went to attend the palace banquet.
Aunt Jiang was beaten because she offended Ye Chutang. The maid didn't dare to go find a doctor on her own, so she could only clean her up briefly and apply external injury medicine and hemostatic medicine.
The bleeding had stopped, but Aunt Jiang's face looked pitted and horrible.
Ye Chutang did not show any sympathy to Aunt Jiang even though she looked so miserable.
She picked up the teapot on the table and poured the now cold water over her head.
The wound was soaked in tea, causing piercing pain.
"ah!"
Aunt Jiang screamed, sat up, and touched her injured face with her hand, shaking with pain.
Ye Chutang looked at her coldly and said, "If you dare to talk nonsense and ruin my reputation again, I will make you, Ye Siyin, a woman who can be slept with by anyone!"
These words made Aunt Jiang feel like she was falling into an ice cellar.
Her mouth was broken and she couldn't speak, so she could only shake her head desperately.
"Don't mess with me, or Kong Ru's today will be your tomorrow!"
After Ye Chutang finished speaking, he left Qingyouyuan and went to the Cultural and Museum Institute where Ye Anzhi was.
Before she entered the yard, she heard the panting of men and women.
He picked up a flowerpot from the roadside and smashed it against the bedroom window.
"Ye Anzhi, come out!"
Ye Anzhi, who was working hard, was frightened and immediately got off Shuang'er.
He didn't dare to delay for a moment, quickly put on his clothes, and appeared in the yard barefoot.
"Eldest sister, you are here, please take a seat."
Ye Chutang couldn't hide the disgust in his eyes when he saw Ye Anzhi, whose clothes were in a mess.
"Ye Anling is already married. If you want to live, take action tonight."
Ye Anzhi knew that Ye Chutang was reminding him to kill his mother.
He also knew that Ye Chutang had exposed his mother's plot to murder the late wife at the wedding banquet.
Even if he didn't kill his mother, she wouldn't be able to survive!
Therefore, he said without any psychological burden: "Don't worry, elder sister, I will complete the task before midnight."
