Chapter 230 - 231: Quarantine Ye Yunting

Chapter 230: Chapter 231: Quarantine Ye Yunting

"I said he had contact with Jade Consort, so he must be isolated for a few days, and he can come out only if he doesn’t fall ill," Chu Nanli explained indifferently.

"You!" When the Jade Consort heard this, she was furiously upset, "On what grounds do you keep my son in there!"

Chu Nanli furrowed her brow, about to speak, when Zhuang Muyan said sternly, "This is the emperor’s decree."

"What?" Yang Shu Consort’s eyes widened again in shock and outrage.

"The emperor just decreed that no one in the palace is allowed to leave for the next few days, and people from each yard are also not allowed to move around at will. So, you’d better take Lin Concubine back to your palace quickly.

As for the War King, he can only stay in this yard for now," Zhuang Muyan said.

It took Yang Shu Consort a while to accept this information.

She knew Zhuang Muyan would not falsely convey an imperial edict.

Although she was worried about Ye Yunting’s current situation, she dared not defy the imperial will.

Just as she turned to leave, she heard Lin Fuying suddenly shout, "No!"

Lin Fuying’s fingernails dug into the palm of her hand, hearing the emperor’s intention, it seemed that he wanted to confine both Yunting and Chu Nanli inside the Jade Consort’s palace.

Trapped in a courtyard for so many days, alone with a woman, there was no guarantee that something wouldn’t happen...

She clenched her teeth and said, "What if Yunting stays in there too long and gets infected as well?"

She did not want Ye Yunting and Chu Nanli to have the opportunity to be alone together.

She was too afraid that Ye Yunting would fall for Chu Nanli again, and she didn’t want to give them any chance to reconcile.

Because she was too nervous and agitated, she momentarily forgot about the royal edict.

Indeed, her face changed when she uttered those words.

"How dare you! Come back with me!" Yang Shu scolded loudly.

"But, Mother Consort..."

"Slap—"

Just as Lin Fuying was about to say something else, she was interrupted by a slap from Yang Shu Consort.

Already seething, that slap was delivered with full force, causing Lin Fuying’s vision to go dark.

"Fool, are you trying to defy the decree?" Yang Shu Consort scolded Lin Fuying.

After Lin Fuying came to her senses, tears of grievance streamed down, "Mother Consort, I... I didn’t mean that..."

She cried pitifully, but no one here felt sorry for her.

Yang Shu Consort merely glared at her and impatiently said, "Enough, let’s go, don’t embarrass yourself."

Ye Yunting was certainly important, but she dared not defy the decree.

Offending the emperor, her entire Yang family would suffer the consequences.

Lin Fuying clenched her fists so tight they almost pierced her skin, yet she could only endure silently.

"Yes."

"Sister, please take good care of Yunting. If he gets infected... you will save him, right?"

"So you really wish for him to be infected?" Chu Nanli gave her a cold glance.

This little white lotus, who does she think she’s fooling?

But fooling people is not something only she can do.

"Don’t you know what ’wishing for the worst often brings it upon you’ means? Can’t you hope for something good for Ye Yunting?" Chu Nanli earnestly said.

"Alright, let’s go!" Yang Shu Consort said impatiently to Lin Fuying.

Being older, she somewhat believed in these things and naturally did not wish for Lin Fuying to curse her son like a harbinger of doom.

"Take good care of Yunting. If anything happens to him, you will be the one who answers to me!" Yang Shu Consort warned, then stormed off, fuming.

"Are you not leaving, Concubine Lin? Or do you plan to make your bed here in this palace corridor?" Chu Nanli asked with a light laugh.

Lin Fuying bit her lip, still unwilling to leave Ye Yunting behind.
