Chapter 27: A Chance Encounter

ching up with the front carriage.Time had passed, and by the time of the evening bell, there was not a single person to be seen on the bustling main street within Lin'an's inner city. White banners ha...Outside the Immortal Palace, Yu Bin pulled Quan Qingcheng to kneel before Ye Wenyan. "Child, bow to the benefactor," 。“ Quan Qingcheng respectfully bowed to her, “Thank you” 。"You don't need to thank me, you should thank the Emperor! If it weren't for his arrangements, I wouldn't have had the chance to enter the palace at this time." 。Rise up, from now on you shall be emperor. You are not to kneel. 。Strive to be a good emperor so as not to disappoint the expectations of that Imperial Sovereign. 。“ She spoke to the young emperor like she used to instruct her younger cousin, Ye Qingcheng. But she knew that Quan Qingcheng was not Ye Qingcheng after all, and she was only a sister he called out casually, not his real sister. 。Ye Wenyan left the Immortal Palace. The boy on the square watched her walk away step by step and muttered, "Don't worry, I will definitely be a good emperor." 。

She is merely an elder sister. In the Northern Qi dynasty, there was a decree that emperors under eighteen were not allowed to govern, and those who had not yet held a grand wedding ceremony were also forbidden from attending court alone.

Before that, there still needs to be a regent to assist the rule, I wonder who my regent will be. 。The chanting from the temple could be heard everywhere, and even those who came and went in the palace could hear soft sobs. 。Yun Chen and Wu Fu had been following Ye Wenyan closely, wanting to ask if she was going to leave the palace. Before they could speak, Ye Wenyan's footsteps came to a halt. 。

Taking a closer look ahead, there's actually someone blocking the way.

"Empress Dowager" 。She had a calm expression and leaned down to call someone. 。Confirmed the new emperor, although he has not yet ascended the throne, she can no longer be called empress. 。

Empress Dowager Li took a few steps forward, feeling flustered, yet excited. Most of all, she was anxious.

She grabbed Ye Wenyan's arm, "Seventh Prince, are you healed I heard, Seventh Prince, you can speak again." 。She nodded, pulling her arm back. "As expected, nothing in the palace escapes the Empress Dowager's grasp. The news travels fast indeed." 。“

The Empress Dowager didn't pay attention to the irony in her words, she just couldn't wait to ask: “Can you cure my son Even those who were mute can speak, your skills must be able to heal my son’s injury, right I beg you, save him>>> 。"No," Ye Wenyan shook his head, "I won't save 。"Why" Empress Li was nearly insane, "Why didn't you save him" Ye Wenyan glanced at her indifferently, "When your son threw me to my death, why didn't you think I was also a living being""You committed suicide!""Then why did I commit suicide""You... how can your life compare to my son's"She smiled, "Your son's life, really isn't as valuable as mine." 。After finishing his words, the man walked straight ahead. 。Her shoulder brushed against Li Tai's lower back, causing her to stagger. 。Yun Chen followed behind, walked two steps, then thought for a moment and stood down to address Empress Dowager Li: "Today's events at the Duke of Su's Mansion, Empress Dowager, what kind of deal did you make with Granny Ye You all remember, right"He only threw down this sentence before chasing after Ye Wenyan. 。Empress Dowager Li stood rooted to the spot, her breath still catching in her chest. 。That night, Old Madam had made a certain transaction; she remembered it clearly. Though Ye Zhenwei was dead, half the army in his command remained loyal to him. Even though he was gone, their camaraderie endured. 。Lady Ye agreed, and she would personally appear to support the Sixth Prince by attending to those old generals' subordinates. 。But the Ye family must have a granddaughter to be Duke of Shu's wife and the future Empress. 。Mrs. Ye dislikes Ye Wenyan, so she replaced him with Ye Hongzhuang. 。This was indeed a deal, she hadn't thought much of it, but now that the words came from Yunchen's mouth, they took on a different meaning. 。Ye Wen, relying on her memory, walked towards the palace gate. It was almost dusk, she had to go home. 。This snow is just relentless, it's freezing! I've had to shiver several times already on this journey. 。I really want to pinch a flower and turn it into a down jacket for myself. But the last plum blossom I had with me just ran out when I was treating Quan Qingcheng's illness. Now, from the inside out, my plain clothes lack any patterns whatsoever. 。With a helpless sigh, "Master Lǐ Yīnyīn, Master Lǐ Yīnyīn, I knew you would make me treat people, but didn't even give me any props in advance!" 。But even thinking about it, if there were flowers right now, she wouldn't want to use magic in front of Yunchen and Wufei. 。Now, only Shi Linyuan possesses spiritual power. It's enough that she is alone and beautiful, she doesn't want to get involved. 。"Lord Yun, you don't have to see me off. Master Wu, please stay a while too. There are many things to attend to in the palace, so I don't need you to follow me all the time." 。I know the way to the palace; I can walk it myself. 。She stopped talking. 。Yun Chen thought for a moment, and did not insist on sending her away. He just asked her, “Sister Four, would you like to go to Yan Hua Palace”She tilted her head and thought for a moment, shaking her head, “No, it’s just a chance encounter. There’s nothing to see.” 。“ The snow was heavy, and the whole palace was filled with mourning. 。The imperial carriage was still parked outside Deyang Gate. Seeing her come out, the eunuch in charge of the carriage immediately put a stool in place for her to step onto it. He also kindly said to her, “You didn’t see General Ye Er come out, probably he stayed in the palace to mourn. After all, the big people haven’t returned yet!”The carriage moved slowly. Due to the heavy snow, the horses walked very slowly. 。Ye Wen leaned against the compartment, turning the bells on her wrist up and down. For a moment, she really wanted to pour in spiritual energy and shake the bells, just to see if that Imperial Lord would suddenly appear before her. 。For one, she didn't have any flowers on hand right now, and her spiritual energy was completely unusable. 。Secondly, even if she used flowers to attract that person, what would she do with him She didn't seem to have anything good between them. Even if she immediately had him repay her kindness, she hadn't figured out how to repay him. 。"Shi Li Yuan ah Shi Li Yuan" 。She whispered, "You called me to the palace for all this trouble, what are you trying to do You could easily cure Seventh Prince's ailment. Why involve me" To this, a sudden thought struck her... 。Could it be that the person was injured too badly, to the point where they can't use any spiritual energy

No no no, that's impossible.

She shook her head vigorously! That man was a complete fraud; she had been fooled by him once and would never fall for it again. 。If you have the ability to impose pressure on the air above the Chengguang Hall and speak nonsense, how could you not have the ability to cure someone's voice 。A man's mouth is a liar, this truth must be remembered! When returning home, all... 。But because the Ye family members had been busy all night, they had only just fallen asleep a short while ago. 。The entire General's Mansion was unusually quiet. Even the guards at the gate were dozing off with their hands tucked in, unaware of her entering. 。The door was specially left for her. Waiting for her was Ye Feiyu, the young master of the Ye family, her elder brother from the same father and mother. 。Seeing her return, Ye Feiyu quickly draped the cotton cloak from his arm onto her, and also offered her a hand warmer. 。Ye Wenyan gratefully smiled at him and said, "Thank you, brother" 。" Ye Feiyu frowned, "Why are you so polite to me" She quickly shook her head, "It's not politeness, it's just that I think my brother is very good, and I want to thank you " 。“She held the hand warmer in her arms and asked, “Brother, how did you know I was cold” Ye Feiyu: “Last night when you came back, I noticed your face was too pale, and your hands were particularly cold.” 。"Yan'er, is everything alright in the palace What did they call you to the palace for" She thought about it for a moment and told the truth, "The Emperor passed away, and everyone is arguing about which prince should inherit the throne." 。Lastly, the Imperial Lord made the decision and pointed to the Seventh Prince. 。"Seventh Prince" Ye Feiyu was taken aback, "But the Seventh Prince he..." "He's a mute." 。She smiled, "So I was summoned to the palace, tasked with treating His Highness Seventh. Now, he's able to speak again, just like anyone else." 。" Ye Feiyu was truly confused. He couldn't understand why the mute person could cure him, but what about his own sister When would she learn medicine to heal people This was the younger sister he had watched grow up, the one he loved most. But after yesterday’s events, he felt like he barely recognized her anymore. Was this still their family's Yan'er "Brother, why aren't you leaving Has everyone else gone to sleep" She didn't offer an explanation, just beckoned Ye Feiyu to follow 。Ye Feiyu quickly walked two steps to catch up with her: "Everyone who should sleep has slept. After tossing around all night, no one can hold on any longer." 。"

Why isn't my brother asleep"

"I was waiting for you" 。He let out a soft sigh. "If everyone was asleep, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to open the mansion gates." 。 。But our lives now are different from before, you've grown up and become more mature. In the future, you need to have a plan for how to go on. 。" I understand, big brother. Don't worry, just because grandfather and father are gone doesn't mean we can be bullied by anyone." 。Mother handing over the reins to her second brother, I have no opinion on that. But if this is going to impact our family's quality of life or even threaten our lives, then it's absolutely unacceptable. 。She turned her head to look at Yè Fēiyu, "Grandmother has lifted your confinement" "En" 。"Yefei Yu told her, 'After you left, you never mentioned the confinement again, and those women didn't come back.'" 。We didn't see the Imperial Guard of the previous Lord Yunchen, but it's likely that the Supervisor wouldn't be lying. They should be protecting us secretly. 。The mother bought a beaded flower to bribe the maidservant in Hongzhuang House. We know everything about what happened at Su Wangfu. 。He arrived here, his emotions visibly agitated. He reached out to grab Ye Wenyan, but she dodged him. 。 Yèfēi Yù xīn shēng huíyì, yǒu nà me yi mù shì, tā jìng jué zhège gū niang bùshì tā de mèimei, jiù shǐ yī gēn tā de mèimei cháng dé yī mò yīng de strāngrén 。"Brother " 。“Ye Wen also felt a bit embarrassed. Just now, it was completely an unconscious action, a self-protective measure when dealing with strangers.” 。But this person, she's not familiar with him. The original owner is familiar with him, though! This is the original owner's older brother, and from now on, he'll also be her older brother. What is she hiding for So she took the initiative to extend her hand forward, reaching into Ye Feiyu's hand, "Brother, it's me. My hands are cold, I was afraid you would worry so I hid." 。" Night Feiyu came to his senses and nodded, "So that's how it is." 。"Holding her hand again, the previous doubt turned into worry, "No wonder your body is so cold, mother, it's really..." 。"Having huddled by the hearth for so long, how can you still not be warm We should see a doctor tomorrow!"

She shook her head with a smile, "It's nothing, I'll be fine after a few days of rest at home. Big brother needn't worry about me." 。Have you heard anything about what's going on at the Duke of Su's mansion It would save me from having to tell you all about it again. 。"Turning back, the elder brother advised his mother, “Anger is understandable, but don't be heartbroken. I have avenged everything. Just one Sixth Prince isn't enough; next, it's that woman in red's turn..." "There's nothing, Your Majesty didn't invite me, I don't know him, I have no relationship with him>>> 。"I came here with my older sister-in-law. Sir, please don't blame me for this kind of thing, I...
