Chapter 201 Do you want to end your family lineage?
Ye Chulian refused to say anything. In her opinion, this was a family matter and Quan Qingcheng was not related to her, so there was really no need to tell him.
But Quan Qingcheng didn't think so. He told Ye Chulian: "You have given me advice twice in a row. We have a deep friendship. I really treat you as a friend, even a confidant. Chulian, if you also treat me as a friend, then tell the truth, or I will lift your skirt and see for yourself."
Ye Chulian quickly moved her legs to the side and said, "I'm telling you, I was punished by the old lady to kneel for three hours and my knees are swollen. It's nothing serious, I'm used to it, it will be fine in a few days. Your Majesty, don't worry, my fourth sister is a miracle doctor, at most I can go back and talk to her and ask her to treat me!"
Quan Qingcheng was so angry that he stamped his feet. "Is your old lady sick? She doesn't like her own grandchildren anyway! But I heard that she doesn't like your second young master, and she dislikes the eldest young master even more. What on earth does she want to do? Not girls, not boys. Does she want to end her family lineage? Does she want all the younger generations to die, and then burn down the general's mansion and be done with it?"
Ye Chulian didn't know what the grandmother at home was thinking. It was just like what the emperor said. No matter what, it wouldn't work. Boys wouldn't work, girls wouldn't work. The one from the first wife wouldn't work, and the one from the second wife wouldn't work. The one from the first wife wouldn't work, and the one from the illegitimate wife wouldn't work. She raised her from childhood, but nothing worked. It seemed that only Ye Hongzhuang in the family would work. Maybe she just liked Ye Hongzhuang!
Wu Fei advised Quan Qingcheng: "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. It's time to attend the morning court."
Quan Qingcheng nodded and took two deep breaths, trying to suppress his anger as much as possible, then loudly ordered the palace servants outside: "Go and serve breakfast. After breakfast, call the imperial physician to check Miss Ye Wu's legs."
The eunuch outside the door ran to serve the meal, and he said to Ye Chulian, "Just sit here and have breakfast first, and then let the imperial physician check your knees. Although Sister Wen Yan is a miracle doctor, you are already in the palace, and I can't let you go back in pain. Just listen to me, this is the emperor's order, and it cannot be disobeyed."
After Quan Qingcheng finished speaking, he went to the court. Wu Fei made an "obedient" expression to Ye Chulian and followed Quan Qingcheng. Ye Chulian was left alone in the Fairy Palace, watching the palace servants set up a round table in front of her, and then served breakfast dishes one by one. It felt like a dream.
She had imagined such a scene many times, but when it all became real, she no longer felt as happy.
In the past, she was just unwilling to accept her background, unwilling to accept the indifference of the mansion, and unwilling to accept the Second Madam's constant harassment of her.
Every time she was wronged, she would lock herself in the room and play a game with Xi. She played the role of the fourth sister in that game, because the fourth sister was the one who lived the most freely and unrestrainedly in the mansion. No matter in the past or now, she was the one she envied the most and the one she wanted to be the most. But she could not become Ye Wenyan after all, so she could only play Ye Wenyan. Now everything is going in a good direction. She can talk with the emperor all night long, have a rich breakfast in the palace, and watch the palace servants kneel in front of her and say nice things.
But everything is no longer the same as before. What she pursues and fantasizes about is no longer to be able to enter the palace as a concubine, become a superior master, and have everyone call her "Queen" when she returns to the Ye family.
Now she has another person in her heart. That person is like a cloud in the sky, floating in front of her eyes. She can't forget him at first sight. Unfortunately, she can't forget him, but there is no response.
It was like an iceberg that she could never melt. Whether he looked at her or talked to her, he was always emotionless. She would never know what he was thinking, and he would never care what she was thinking.
Maybe that's it! Ye Chulian thought, maybe this is the deepest fate between her and His Royal Highness the Dust King, and all the fate. It was just a quick glance, what could she expect? What did she know about him?
Books always say that you can't judge a person by their appearance, so you shouldn't like a person by their appearance, right?
Ye Chulian advised herself this, then picked up the bowl and chopsticks to have breakfast.
The eunuch who was serving beside her saw that she was willing to pick up her chopsticks and happily served her the dishes. The breakfast was served as if she were serving her master, which made Ye Chulian feel embarrassed.
After breakfast, the imperial physician arrived soon. It was none other than Doctor Bai, who had accompanied them to the outer city to treat the wounded.
Ye Chulian was very happy to see him. She stood up and greeted him and even bowed.
Doctor Bai quickly returned the greeting, "Miss Fifth, you are too polite. We are acquaintances, so please don't bow to me. I heard that Miss Fifth hurt her knee. Please sit down and I will take a look at you."
She sat down obediently and let Doctor Bai check her injury. Fortunately, her knee was not seriously injured. Doctor Bai gave her two medicine bags and told her to apply hot compress on her leg for an hour every night after returning home. After three days, her leg would be completely healed.
Ye Chulian thanked him again and then called a young eunuch to escort her out of the palace.
Doctor Bai followed him out of the Temple of Immortals. Seeing that Ye Chulian had already walked a long way away, he thought for a moment and immediately hurried to chase after him.
Ye Chulian was puzzled, "Does the old doctor have anything to tell you?"
Doctor Bai shook his head. "It's not an instruction, it's a request. Miss Fifth, do you still remember Xiaoxiao? She's my granddaughter. She stayed in the clinic in the outer city, and my family is very happy. I talked about this with her parents last night, and her parents wanted me to go to the general's mansion and ask Miss Fourth if she has any plans to open a clinic in the future, or do something in this regard. If she has such plans, I hope Miss Fourth can keep Xiaoxiao by her side. Miss Fifth will be home soon, can you help me talk to Miss Fourth about this matter?"
Ye Chulian understood that the Bai family had been practicing medicine for generations, and when it came to the generation of Doctor Bai, they even entered the Imperial Hospital as imperial physicians, which was considered to be the pinnacle. But after treating the wounded in the outer city in the past few days, everyone understood a fact, that is, even the people in the Imperial Hospital had to bow their heads and admit defeat in front of Miss Ye Si's treatment.
So the Bai family wanted to send their granddaughter to her fourth sister to learn from her.
She said to Doctor Bai, "Please rest assured, I will definitely convey your message, but I can't say whether Fourth Sister agrees with this or not."
Doctor Bai looked grateful, "Miss Fifth, it would be great if you could tell me that this is not urgent. I will come to visit you in person after the disaster. Miss Fourth, please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions. As long as I can help, you can ask me." After he finished speaking, he felt that something was missing, so he added, "It's the same for Miss Fifth. We are all acquaintances."
Ye Chulian smiled and said goodbye to him. In fact, how could it be the same? She knew that Doctor Bai said this for the sake of her fourth sister's face, but it didn't matter. No matter who it was for, as long as she didn't betray her fourth sister and didn't do anything to let her fourth sister down, it would be the same for anyone. After leaving the palace, she saw Ji Rong's carriage still waiting for her at the palace gate. She felt a little guilty and ran over to ask, "Have you been sitting here all night? Did you sleep at night? I'm so sorry, I forgot the time when I was talking to the emperor. Just now he insisted on keeping me for breakfast and sent the doctor to check my legs, so I came out late."
As she climbed onto the carriage, she said, "Let's go back quickly. It's freezing cold. You must be freezing."
Ji Rong had a good personality. When she saw Ye Chulian climbing up, she quickly reached out to pull her up, and said with a smile, "It's not cold. I practice martial arts, so I can stand this little bit of cold. Fifth Miss, go slowly. We are not in a hurry. We can even take a nap on the way."
Ye Chulian didn't squint, but discussed with Ji Rong whether the carriage could pass through the gate of Prince Chen's Mansion. Ji Rong naturally listened to her.
Ye Chulian had been to Prince Chen's Mansion before, but not on purpose, just passing by.
Although the Chen Palace was somewhat run-down, it still had the aura of a royal residence. Unfortunately, it was now in ruins. Quan Qingchen was nowhere to be seen. Only a few servants were seen walking through the ruins, turning over bricks and tiles, probably checking if there was anything they could pick up.
Ji Rong asked her, "Do you want to go down and take a look?"
Ye Chulian shook her head, "No, it would be strange for a girl like me to come here."
Ji Rong took the initiative to call a servant who was turning over bricks, and asked after calling him over: "Are you from Prince Chen's Mansion? Where is your master? Where will the master live if the palace collapses?"
The man glanced at Ji Rong, then at the wooden sign hanging in front of the carriage, and saw the word "night" written on it, and realized that this was a carriage from the First-Rank General's Mansion. So he replied, "The Emperor has granted another house for your Highness to live in. It was the mansion that the late Emperor bestowed upon you when you were still a prince, and it is now considered the new Prince Chen's Mansion."
Ji Rong nodded and said, "Thank you." Then she rode away. After walking a distance, she asked Ye Chulian, "Do you want to go to that mansion to take a look?" Ye Chulian said, "No, I have no reason to see him, let's go home!"
At that time, Ye Wenyan had just gotten up and was having dinner with Mu and Ye Qingmei in Yu Shuyuan.
Neither Mu nor Ye Qingmei participated in the incident last night when Dilong turned over again at the gate of the First-rank General's Mansion, but neither of them mentioned it again. It can be seen that Ye Qingmei really wants to know, but Mu didn't ask and Ye Wenyan didn't say anything, so she didn't want to bring up the topic. Fortunately, Ye Wenyan was not the one who was hurt in the end, so she didn't bother to care about other people.
However, Madam Mu talked about Ye Feizhou while eating, and warned her two daughters: "Although the second young master seems to be much friendlier to us, he has had a strange temper since he was a child. Who knows when he will change his temper and start thinking about harming someone again. So it is better not to have too much contact with him, so as not to let down your guard."
Ye Qingmei was naturally obedient to this, and Ye Wenyan didn't say anything. The breakfast was about to be finished, and Mu's maid Dannuo came in from outside, frowning and said: "The old lady sent someone to invite us, saying that we should all go over to the west courtyard..."
