As long as the prince was fine, she, the queen, would have someone to rely on. If something happened to the prince, even if she adopted a prince, he would not be her own, and they would not be on the same page.
"Yes." The secret guard did it immediately.
By the time he returned to Ye Mansion, an hour had passed.
"Miss Ye, these are the herbs that the Queen asked her subordinates to deliver. The Queen said that as long as you can save the prince, you can set any conditions you want." The secret guard told the truth.
A look of certainty flashed across Ye Xingchen's eyes: "Okay, thank you." He took the herbs.
The secret guard didn't say anything more, turned around and flew towards the wall.
The two elders of the Ye family were very worried when they saw Ye Xingchen not coming out for dinner. Ye's father came to Ye Xingchen's yard and said, "Where's the young lady? Why isn't she going to dinner? And where's the fifth brother? He's been gone all day and he's not in good shape."
Tang Feng replied respectfully: "Master, the young lady is busy and has ordered that no one is allowed to disturb her. The fifth young master is also in the room."
Only then did Father Ye realize that everyone was standing outside the door and the door was closed, which seemed a bit strange.
"Why don't you go in? Could it be that Xingchen beat up Lao Wu?"
"Master, don't think too much. You and Madam should eat and drink. Miss will come out when she is done with her work." Tang Yu explained.
"What can they be busy with? No, I have to go and take a look because I am worried." Father Ye was about to go inside.
Tang Feng stood in front of the master and said, "Master, I'm sorry. The young lady told us not to disturb anyone."
"Why, even I, the master, can't do it?" Father Ye was a little displeased.
"Master, if you delay here any longer and disturb the young lady from rescuing people, someone may die," Tang Yu explained.
After all, the master is the young lady's biological father, so it's okay to tell her.
"Someone died. Is there someone else inside? Who is it?" Ye's father was extremely shocked.
The servant who was guarding the door just now did not leave and kept guarding the door. He came over quickly and said something in Ye's father's ear.
Father Ye's face changed drastically, he was extremely shocked, and then he shuddered with fear: "I was reckless, you guys have to guard it well, just pretend I was never here." After saying that, he left in a flash.
Tang Yu curled her lips: "Our master is just a paper-made one."
Everyone laughed and stood up immediately.
Ye's father ran back to the front hall in panic: "The child's mother is in trouble. Our daughter is having an affair with the prince."
Mother Ye was stunned, and the spoon in her hand fell into the bowl with a snap: "What did you say, what do you mean by having an affair?"
"The prince is actually in Xingchen's house. What should we do now? One is the regent and the other is the prince. Our daughter must accept this incredible wealth." Ye's father sighed.
Mother Ye was shocked: "What you said is true, that's not right, why is the prince in Xingchen's house?"
"Of course, how could I lie about such a thing. The servants said that Xingchen was saving the prince, but that's not right. I have no idea how he got into the mansion." Father Ye said with a serious face.
Mother Ye's face was solemn: "You must tell everyone now to guard the door of the Ye family and not allow anyone to enter or leave, especially outsiders. The safety of the prince affects the entire Ye family, so it must be well taken care of."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
The day passed like this, and soon it was dark. The atmosphere in the entire Ye Mansion was very solemn.
Here, Ye Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the prince's complexion gradually recover. Just as she was about to stand up, she felt a little dizzy and was about to fall to the ground. Ye Xiaosha immediately supported her.
"Sister, how are you?"
"I'm fine, just too tired. The prince's condition is temporarily stable. Carry him out, change his wet clothes, and let him lie down." Ye Xingchen said and walked out.
The people in the yard had been waiting for a whole day, and when they saw the door open, they all looked over excitedly.
The two secret guards on the wall didn't even bother pretending, and flew down one after another: "Miss Ye, how is my prince?"
"It's stable now. Tang Feng, go get a set of your clothes and change them for the prince first." Ye Xingchen said.
"yes."
"How can my prince wear servants' clothes?" a secret guard couldn't help but ask.
Ye Xingchen's face turned cold: "Tang Feng is not a servant, he is my family member. If you feel it is inappropriate, take your prince away. I don't care if I am your prince's secret guard or the queen's secret guard. People who are arrogant and look down on others are not welcome here!"
The voice was cold and merciless.
The secret guard's face froze. He didn't expect Ye Xingchen to accuse him in person.
"Shut up, don't be rude. The prince has finally been stabilized. If we carry him back now, the queen will definitely not let us go if anything happens. As long as the prince can be saved, everything is up to Miss Ye." Another secret guard replied steadily.
Another secret guard shuddered with fear, thinking of the Queen's methods: "Miss Ye, I was disrespectful just now. I'm sorry."
"It's not me you should apologize to, but Tang Feng." Ye Xingchen snorted coldly.
Tang Feng was extremely moved. The young lady actually defended him and said that he was a family member. This made Tang Feng, who lost both his parents when he was young and grew up relying on his sister, extremely grateful.
Just because of what the young lady said, Tang Feng will be loyal to her for the rest of his life.
The secret guard looked frustrated. Although he was reluctant, he still turned around and looked at Tang Feng: "I'm sorry, I was rude just now."
Tang Feng glanced at him and said, "Since you are the prince's man, I won't bother with you." Then he went to get his clothes.
"Miss, you must be hungry. Has the master and the mistress prepared food?" Tang Yu asked immediately.
"Have someone bring it over."
"Okay."
Soon, the servants brought over the food, which consisted of more than a dozen dishes.
Ye Xingchen thought that the prince was in the house and could not be disturbed, so he asked the servants to put the food on the stone table in the yard, and the whole table was filled.
"You've worked hard all day, come and eat together." Ye Xingchen said.
"Okay." Tang Yu and others came over immediately, including Ajiu who was on the wall.
Only the queen's two secret guards were envious when they saw everyone around the table eating meat with big mouthfuls.
"Brother, their food looks delicious?" The secret guard swallowed subconsciously.
"Miss Ye actually eats with the servants. The master and the servants get along like a family. It's rare." Another secret guard replied.
"I suddenly feel a little envious of these servants. Miss Ye is really protective of them. If our master can do the same, it would be worth dying for." The secret guard said enviously.
"Don't think about it."
It’s good enough that the Queen Mother doesn’t punish them. They still want the Queen Mother to protect them? They’re dreaming.
Ajiu looked over while eating and said, "This chicken leg is so fragrant and delicious. And this roast duck, this pork elbow, and Dongpo pork are all so delicious. Do you want to try them?"
Just as the secret guard was about to answer, Ajiu continued, "Oh, I forgot. You guys don't like it. The food in the Ye Mansion is not as good as the one in the palace. So you should save your stomach and go back to eat."
The secret guard's mouth twitched and he glared at him fiercely.
"Ajiu, eat more. You'll be tired tonight." Ye Xingchen said.
"Okay."
