Chapter 17: Reward
He didn't say a word to Fang Xu and left directly with his hands behind his back.
Fang Xu was even more angry after being ignored by the prince.
But now that things have come to this, he can only accept it.
Mr. Yu, the chief assistant, was present throughout the whole process, and he knew the whole story clearly. If he continued to make up lies, I would only be more annoying.
It seems that seizing the military power of the Yu family needs to be considered from scratch.
It's all Ye Shuhua's fault. She is really a bad star. As long as she is around, things will go wrong!
He attributed all his faults to Ye Shuhua's evil star constitution, gave her a fierce look, and strode away.
Being able to persist until leaving the palace was Ye Shuhua's limit, thanks to the support of Yin Zixun's medicine.
As soon as she got on the carriage, she began to feel feverish and her demeanor began to feel drowsy.
Returning to Ye Mansion and arriving at the side hospital, Li Su immediately ordered his men to ask Dr. Xu to come.
Dr. Xu was resting at home, only one street away from Ye Mansion, and he hurried over in less than half a quarter of an hour.
He opened his cloak, revealing a hideous wound.
Because he had been covering it and the rags of clothes were being used on the wound, it had become inflamed and suppurated.
Especially the back, which was already an old injury with a new injury, was even more shocking.
Li Su and Yin Zixun were waiting in the courtyard, while Jicui and Zhuying stood by.
Seeing that the young lady's body was covered in blood and flesh, with strands of flesh sticking out from the tendons, and the white bones clearly visible, Ji Cui couldn't help but cover her mouth and cry bitterly.
This hurts so much. Miss is the one who fears pain the most.
Even Zhuying, as a secret guard, was used to seeing bodies that had been tortured in various ways. When he saw the lady's bloody and horrific injuries, he couldn't help but feel his scalp numb and feel distressed.
Doctor Xu sighed again and again, "The princess is already thin and weak. Who could be so ruthless? He is rushing to kill the princess!"
While talking, he treated the princess's suppurating wounds very quickly.
Ye Shuhua had too many wounds, most of which were intertwined. Moreover, the wounds were already inflamed, so they could no longer apply anesthesia and could only cut out the pus-filled areas.
The knife cut into her bones and flesh, mixed with the stabbing pain from the wounds all over her body. The pain almost made her convulse.
In just a short while, the quilt on the bed was already wet.
Sweat stung the wound, which made her hurt even more. Ye Shuhua, who was originally unconscious, was suddenly awakened by the pain. She slowly opened her eyes, but her vision was extremely blurry, and she couldn't see clearly who was in front of her.
Thanks to Dr. Xu's neat and agile movements, he quickly treated the wound, applied medicine, and quickly took out a layer of gauze to wrap up the wound.
He breathed a sigh of relief and raised his wrist to wipe the sweat from his forehead with his cuff.
He ordered: "The wound has been treated. This is ointment. Change the ointment three times a day. When the wound no longer suppurates and grows new flesh, you can remove the gauze and let the wound dry. After that, apply it three times a day, so it should be half a month.
The scabs will gradually get better.”
Ji Cui nodded in response while wiping her tears. Her eyes were already red at this time. She sniffed, pointed at the young lady's burned red face, and asked, "Mr. Xu, is the young lady's fever okay?"
Dr. Xu put away the medicine box and shook his head, "It doesn't matter, I have already given the medicine. After tonight, the fever will subside, but someone needs to take care of her at night, and feed her some water from time to time. If she can't feed her, take some water."
Just wet the princess's lips with your chopsticks."
Ji Cui nodded and followed Doctor Xu out of the house.
Yin Zixun and Li Su heard clearly what Xu Yuyi said in the room. Li Su personally escorted Xu Yuyi out. Yin Zixun glanced at her through the window uneasily.
He gave a few more instructions, "Take good care of your young lady. I will have Jiuyu deliver the ointment before. Doctor Xu's ointment will be paired with mine. Maybe it will heal faster."
Ji Cui thanked him in response.
After that, Yin Zixun took another deep look at Ye Shuhua before raising his feet and chasing after Li Su.
Because he entered the palace to meet the emperor, Yin Zixun has not been in a wheelchair since he entered the palace.
He was weak, and his physical strength was already exhausted at this time. He gave Ye Shuhua a few more pills, and now there was only one pill left in the bottle.
He couldn't take it unless absolutely necessary, so he could only force himself to get on the carriage.
On the other side, Yufu.
Yu Zhenguo returned to the house, went directly to the study, and also ordered his eldest grandson Yu Jingtian to come over.
"Grandpa, are you looking for your grandson?" The door of the study room was opened and closed, and a noble young man with a face as white as jade, wearing a moon-white brocade robe, came forward and saluted respectfully.
Yu Zhenguo sat on the Grand Master's chair, looked at his precious eldest grandson, and said, "Ye Shuhua, have you ever gotten to know her on a daily basis? What kind of person is she?"
There was a trace of doubt on Yu Jingtian's brow, but he was very well-mannered, and even if he had doubts, he answered his grandfather's question first.
"According to what my grandfather told me before, my grandson learned that she is weak, stupid, and not very scheming. Grandpa, you don't know all of this."
He still remembered that his grandfather would look disgusted whenever he heard Ye Shuhua's weird behavior. If she didn't have a trace of the eldest princess's blood flowing in her body, he would not care about her at all.
After listening to his words, Yu Zhenguo fell into deep thought. After a long time, he raised his eyes and said again: "Go and check again, what is her temperament like? Pay special attention to the situation in Ye Mansion."
Today in the court, Ye Shuhua's behavior was by no means a weak and mindless person. She was calm and composed, neither humble nor arrogant, and her words were extremely logical.
Moreover, the most important thing is that she can also guess what the Holy Master is thinking, although she doesn't know if it is his illusion.
But Ye Shuhua was definitely not what he had known before.
Yu Jingtian was even more puzzled, but he didn't ask too much, just bowed his head and said yes.
-
The torturous night was finally over, and at dawn, Ye Shuhua woke up.
Only then did I feel the burning wounds on my body and the sharp pain caused by the ointment.
Standing on one side of the bed was Bamboo Shadow, squinting his eyes and taking a nap. She just moved slightly, and Bamboo Shadow woke up.
"Miss, are you awake?"
"Well, did Doctor Xu help me bandage it?" Ye Shuhua asked.
After she fell into coma yesterday, she still vaguely remembered something.
"Yes, and thanks to Dr. Xu, whom Mr. Li called, he treated your wound in time, young lady."
"Well, I owe Mr. Li another favor." Yesterday in the palace, she and Li Su were already suspected of being in close contact. It would be even harder to repay his favor.
She sighed, and was dragged up by Zhu Ying with difficulty. The movement pulled the wound, and she frowned in pain.
"Let's just owe it now and pay it back later when we have the opportunity. By the way, what did Ye Zhao do after he came back?"
She said while rubbing her waist.
Last night I lay flat on my back without moving at all, and my waist was very sore at this time.
As soon as Ye Zhao was mentioned, Zhuying's face was filled with anger. She shook her head and her voice was filled with resentment.
"He didn't do anything. Miss, you were already unconscious. He just followed a stranger and didn't even step into the yard. He didn't even care about your safety, miss. However, after Dr. Xu treated the wound for miss, the whole mattress was wet.
When Jicui went to ask for a new one, he refused to give it to him. It was Jicui who was so anxious that he snatched a set back."
Zhu Ying felt sorry for the young lady. She had never seen any biological father treat his own daughter like this.
I wish she would die.
Ye Shuhua had long expected that this was something her ruthless and cold-blooded father could do.
She was helped to sit on a chair in front of the window. She took a breath of cold air, endured the pain in her body and sat down. She sneered again and said, "It's normal. It's strange for him to step into the yard to see me."
He didn't do anything else, which meant that his status as Princess Qingya, who was granted the title of Princess Qingya by the Emperor, had an effect, and he did not dare to do anything to him easily.
Before she fell into coma, she was still worried that he was not afraid of this identity and would take advantage of her coma to cause her "death".
But it cannot be ruled out that it was because Mr. Li was there last night.
But no matter what, Ye Zhao didn't cause trouble last night, and he should be more peaceful in the next few days, and he can still recover from his injuries.
No one had yet brought breakfast to the house. Fortunately, Ji Cui had anticipated it and went out to buy breakfast before Ye Shuhua woke up.
When I came back, I saw that the young lady had woken up. She was very happy and fed her the porridge one bite at a time.
After breakfast, as the sun rose high in the sky, Ye Shuhua calculated that the time had come and opened her mouth to give instructions.
"Jicui, go to the front yard and wait. If you see someone from the palace coming, tell me that I am too ill to go to the front yard and take him directly to the courtyard."
Jicui understood immediately after hearing this and immediately ran out of the yard.
The emperor gave a reward yesterday but it was too late at night and did not deliver it. So this morning he will definitely order the eunuch to deliver the reward, together with the title, clothing and official seal given by the imperial decree.
It stands to reason that no matter how badly the lady is injured, she should be welcomed to the front yard to kowtow and receive orders.
But it takes nearly two-quarters of an hour to walk from the front yard to the side courtyard where the young lady lives. Not to mention that the young lady can't walk at all now. Even if she can walk and receive the imperial edict, those things may not be brought back to the side courtyard.
Mrs. Ye found various reasons to snatch it away.
Let them come to the side courtyard. It just so happens that the rewards can be firmly locked in the side courtyard. If Mrs. Ye wants to take them, she and Zhu Ying will not be able to take away any points.
It was Eunuch Qi who came to issue the edict. After announcing the imperial edict, he ordered people to put everything in the side room. His eyes swept across the large courtyard, with the signature smile still on his face, and there was nothing unusual about it.
There was just a strange flash in his eyes, and dust hit his arms and wrists. He bowed his hands and saluted, and said in a lowered voice: "Princess Qingya needs to recover from her injuries. It's better to go back to the house quickly. Our family will go back to restore the emperor's life."
Ye Shuhua nodded and said, "Eunuch Qi, go slowly, Jicui will send you off."
"yes."
After watching Eunuch Qi leave the yard, Ye Shuhua let Zhu Ying help her back to the back room and sat by the window.
Eunuch Qi came to announce the decree in person. It was definitely not because the emperor valued him very much, but most likely because he wanted to test whether he was living a hard life in Ye Mansion as he said.
If so, Eunuch Qi issued the order in person, it would have allowed Ye Zhao to see that the emperor valued him, which would have frightened him a little and make Ye Zhao treat him better.
This is to make up for his indifference to me all these years.
If not, he would feel at ease and would no longer feel indebted even if he saw the letter his mother wrote to him.
