Chapter 91: The Boy from Before

feet tied up and her mouth gagged. All day long, no one came to see her. 。She almost thought that Xiao was going to starve her to death, but just at this moment, Jinxiu arrived. 。The firewood shed wa..."Take off my clothes and apply medicine to me. " 。"Ye Wen instructed Zhu'er, 'What are you staring at Excessive blood loss can be fatal.'" 。"

The little girl stomped her feet in anxiety, "Sister, there's a big man still in the car! How can we administer the medicine" She looked at Quan Qinghua, clearly wanting Quan Qinghua to go sit outside the carriage for a while.>>> 。But this Lord of Dust didn't even acknowledge her gaze, he just kept his eyes fixed forward, completely motionless. 。Ye Wen's voice was weak, reminding Zhuier again: "Hurry up..." 。"Sis, will it really work" 。She also looked at Quan Qinghua, then said word by word, "Even if injured, a gentleman does not avoid..." 。"That caught the attention of Quan Qinghua, who asked her, “How do you know that this king is a gentleman”She replied, "I don't misjudge people. Your Highness, Dust King, has very clear eyes, not a flicker of what shouldn't be there." 。Besides, in my current state, who am I to avoid people 。"

Suddenly, Quan Qinghua became interested in this woman. He told Ye Wenyan: “I saw you once before, at General Ye Lao's birthday banquet" 。That year you were, about five or six years old, and you looked different from now. 。Later, I went to the Kingdom of Guiyue and never saw anyone from Beiqi again. 。He used to, in those past years, treat things as if they were none of his concern, living a mundane and ordinary life, detached from it all. 。More than a year ago, your portrait was delivered to me. Because you are betrothed to Qinglu, the Northern Qi sent it to me as a way of acknowledging my future sister-in-law. 。It's strange, you don't quite look like the portrait, but I recognized you at once just now. 。"Fourth Sister, I heard you were married on the second day of the twelfth lunar month. What about my sixth younger brother"

Ye Wenyan listened to him in a daze, not understanding some things very well, such as what the Country of Guiyue was, and why this Dust King would go to the Country of Guiyue, and he hadn't seen anyone from Beiqi for a long time.

She had no energy to think about these things, her injured body was already on the verge of collapse, she didn't even have the strength to answer him. 。Still, Zhu'er let out a loud snort and answered for her: "My elder sister hasn't married that scoundrel, King Su! That vile person doesn't deserve my elder sister at all. Fourth Prince, please don't ever mix my elder sister with King Su again. Even if there was something in the past, it's over now. The engagement is broken, so from now on we should go our separate ways." 。No, we can't just walk away. We still have to go find him and get revenge. We absolutely cannot let him off easy. 。Every time Zhu'er mentioned the Sixth Prince, she would get angry. Although she always felt it was wrong to speak ill of him behind his brother’s back, she just couldn't help it. 。Afterward, I also felt that I had spoken out of turn, so I quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Fourth Highness, I shouldn't have scolded your younger brother in front of you. I just couldn't help myself." 。"

Quan Qing painted himself for a while, and did not continue to ask about this problem. He just took the bottle of medicine back from Zhuier's hand, "Since you won't give your elder sister medicine, then I'll do it myself!"

Zhuier refused, reaching out to grab it, but Ye Wenyan stopped her, "It's fine, let the Fourth Prince come!"

The injury on his shoulder was the worst. The blade had a reverse edge, and it even tore off some flesh>>>" 。Quan Qing drew out the dagger he always carried, carefully cutting away his clothes to reveal the wound. 。He looked at it, his brows furrowed. It was mangled and bloody, covered in blood, but Sister Ye Si didn't even flinch an eyebrow. 。It's impossible not to feel pain, but she endured it. 。Could this be the granddaughter of General Sun, who is known as a valiant warrior There isn't a single son in our military household, but I never expected that the girl would also be so strong. 。"Taking medicine goes down the throat, it hurts a bit, bear with it..." 。He opened his mouth to remind her, but then thought that with this girl's patience, his reminder was unnecessary, so he said nothing more, simply pouring the medicinal powder from the bottle onto the wound. 。scoop by scoop, until all the powder medicine is emptied. 。"This is the hemostatic elixir of Gu Yue Kingdom. This king only has this one bottle, and it can be used to treat even the most serious wounds." 。This way, you should be fine until we return to the capital. After returning, with the prestige of your First Rank General's Manor, you'll surely be able to hire a physician to treat you. 。“

There was a medicine chest in the carriage, and he took out some white cotton cloth to give to Zhuai'er, “Bandage your elder sister!”

Zhuai'er immediately took it and began to bandage, but her skills were really not very good. In the end, the knot she tied was ugly and looked nothing like it>>> 。Ye Wenyan didn't have the energy to care about these things anymore. After his wound was treated, he leaned his head and fell asleep again. 。The carriage continued on for another hour, and then sounds came from outside. There were voices and the sound of horses' hooves, all very chaotic. 。 When Zhua'er heard a man shouting, "Who is in the carriage ahead And who sits inside" The carriage stopped, as if surrounded by a crowd. Zhua'er was frightened and clung tightly to Ye Wenyan. 。The coachman had answered: “It is the carriage of the Dust King. We have returned from the Kingdom of Returning Moon to attend the funeral for the late emperor.” 。“His Royal Highness, the Dust King” Another voice rose in astonishment, “Is His Royal Highness the Dust King back”Dui'er heard this commotion and felt a sense of familiarity. She lifted the curtain to look out and saw, at once, Chi Hongfang, the magistrate of Lin’an Prefecture... 。She was overjoyed and shouted loudly, “Lord Prefect! Lord Prefect!”Chi Hongfang was first startled because the Dust King was sitting in the carriage. Now, hearing a young woman eagerly calling out to him, he was startled again. 。He dismounted and walked forward a few steps. A following officer presented a lantern from his hand. Chi Hongfang recognized Zhu'er at once: “Is this the maid of Sister Si Ye The one who reported to the yamen last time Girl, is Sister Si in the carriage” “Yes, yes!” Zhu'er nodded repeatedly, so excited that she burst into tears, “Lord Prefect, are you here to rescue us You’re finally here! My elder sister almost died outside!” Chi Hongfang was also on the verge of tears, “I've finally found you. If I hadn't found you, how could this Prefecture explain to Lord Yun!” He was still thinking about Yun Chen falling for Ye Wenyan, so engrossed in finding someone that he had completely forgotten about Prince Chen’s return to Beijing. 。Hurry, this estate shall escort you back home. 。“Lord Prefect!” The coachman stopped the carriage, “There’s not only Ye Si in the carriage, but also my Prince Chen! Shouldn’t you greet His Highness first Ignoring him like this isn't proper, is it”Chi Hong slapped his forehead inwardly cursing himself a hundred and eighty times. How could he be so foolish when things happened Where did all those years of being Prefect go He immediately knelt down and said solemnly, “Chi Hong, the Prefect of Lin’an, welcomes His Highness Prince Chen back to the capital! Your Highness, a thousand years!”The officers behind him were about to kneel as well, but a voice from inside the carriage said, “Rise all. No need to kneel before this prince” 。Sister Ye was seriously injured and needed to return to the capital immediately. As the magistrate of Lin'an Prefecture, you should lead the way and tell the city guards to open the gates. 。After finishing his words, a jade pendant was also passed out from the car. 。The brand was handed over by Zui'er. Chi Hongfang saw the bright "painting" character on top and knew it was definitely the Dust King. 。Without further delay, he immediately mounted his horse and led a caravan back to Lin'an City. 。

Zhuoer's heart finally let go. Once she relaxed, she realized she was completely exhausted, her whole body nearly collapsing.

She also wanted to sleep, soundly like her sister, but she couldn't. She still had an important task to finish. 。Finally entered Lin'an City. With Chi Hongfang's order, the city guards immediately let them pass without a word. 。The coachman outside asked, "Where are we going now To the residence of General Yipin Please, Lord Chi, lead the way." 。"No, we're going to the Imperial Palace!" cried Zhuier, flinging open the curtain and speaking loudly. “To the Imperial Palace” The coachman turned his head and looked at Zhuier as if she were an idiot. “Did you get it wrong or am I hearing things wrong What time is it now You want to go to the palace Do you think the imperial palace is your family's home"Zhuier frowned. She actually thought going to the palace was a bad idea, but her elder sister insisted on it, so there must be a reason for going to the palace." 。Then she looked at Chi Hongfang and said in a single sentence: “Sir, it is my older sister who wants to enter the palace.” 。The carriage continued on its way, heading towards the palace. 。Quan Qinghua looked at Ye Wenyan with a probing gaze, but unfortunately, Ye Wenyan was unconscious and couldn't give him an answer. 。Has it been too long since he left Beizhi He seems to be struggling to adjust to the changes in Kyoto. 。It is heard that the First Rank General Ye Zhenwei has passed away, and his son, the General Ye Da, also died. 。Given the integrity of those officials, with no one to uphold the family's reputation, the once illustrious first-rank general's mansion will surely be out of the political arena in the shortest possible time, its glory fading, and its status plummeting. 。Ye Sijie didn't marry his sixth brother, which means she had nothing to do with the royal family. What did she rely on to enter the palace at this hour Quan Qinghua grew increasingly silent, a trace of coldness flickering in her eyes, as if her pupils were suddenly covered in frost. 。 He has a history with the Ye Family...From the outer city to the inner city, all the way to the palace gate 。Those officials who had been chasing after people all along have already been sent back. Chi Hongfang dismounted and stood before the carriage, respectfully saying: "Your Highness, Dust Princess, we've reached the palace." 。Ye Si Jie didn't say a word, nor did the Dust King. It was only Zhuai who carried Ye Wen back onto her back, lifted the curtain, and bent over to walk out. 。Chi Hongfang quickly reached out to help, and just as he did, he saw Lord Chen Wang, sitting motionless inside the car. 。How many years has it been since I last saw this Lord When the previous Emperor sent the Fourth Prince to the Moon Country as a hostage, he was only twelve or thirteen years old. In his memory, he was a spirited young man who always had a gentle smile and never acted arrogantly because he was a prince. Instead, he was polite and courteous to everyone, and his manners were just right - neither did he demean his noble status nor did he make people feel too distant. 。But now it seems to be different. In the past decade, the young boy is gone, replaced by someone who appears gentle and refined, but with a hint of artificiality and suppression in their demeanor...p to the side and make way for others. 。Mu Shi and Ye Qingmei also moved to the side, but they didn't stand up, they were still kneeling. 。Actually, their intention was all to quell the disturbance....
