Chapter 217: 216 Cold Palace Abandoned Concubine (14) Fourth Watch

The eunuch manager must have been instructed by His Majesty, as he did not say what the matter was.

Ye Shaohua could not guess either.

But for Yuwen Jing to summon her to leave the Palace at this time, it must be something significant.

So, without even changing her clothes, she went straight out.

Along the way, the eunuch manager looked at her with more respect than before, but she did not notice this.

However, it was quite apparent to Qu Huashang, who was standing not far away.

Her complexion was not good as she returned to the Palace, where she found the Qu Family matriarch waiting for her.

"Grandmother," Qu Huashang clearly relied heavily on her grandmother and cried uncontrollably upon seeing her, "Has grandfather found out what exactly is happening? Why is it that not only is Ye Shaohua free, but she’s also staying at Yuehua Palace; has there been any change in the situation?"

After sending the servants away, the Qu Family matriarch patted Qu Huashang’s head, and a sharp light flashed in her clouded eyes, "There’s no need for the Empress Dowager to worry. After today, the Ye Family will never rise again."

Qu Huashang was about to ask why, but seeing her grandmother so confident of victory, she was reassured.

At the General Residence, as soon as Ye Shaohua and Yuwen Jing entered, they saw the General.

"Your Majesty, are you all right?" The General first paid respects to the Emperor before turning to Ye Shaohua.

Especially as he saw Ye Shaohua’s emaciated appearance, his eyes reddened.

Had it not been for the fact that Yuwen Jing had begged several times and even made a vow, how could he have given his most cherished daughter to such a heartless man?

His daughter, since childhood, besides practicing martial arts, the entire Ye Family had been afraid that she would lose even a single hair.

Having taken several hits for Yuwen Jing was not enough; she was even locked in the sunless depths of the dungeon!

This Yuwen Jing... how dare he?!

How dare he!?

The General gripped Ye Shaohua’s arm tightly, determined to make him pay for this debt.

"General," the General’s hand was gradually pushed away by a folding fan, and as the General looked up, he saw Yuwen Yun’s handsome face, "The Lady has an unhealed wound on her arm."

A wound? Upon hearing this, the General hurriedly let go of her hand, his complexion worsening.

He had much to tell Ye Shaohua, but now clearly was not the time.

Hearing Yuwen Yun mention Ye Shaohua’s injury, Yuwen Jing also felt awkward, and he changed the subject, "How come the King of Leisure is at the General Residence?"

Yuwen Yun pondered for a moment, his expression grave, "While strolling through the market with the Divine Physician, I heard wailing at the General Residence. Upon inquiry, I learned that Young General Ye had been poisoned again, and the Imperial Physicians were helpless. Since the Divine Physician and I were acquainted, I had him take a look."

Hearing that Ye Shaofeng had been poisoned again, Ye Shaohua’s face changed, and even Yuwen Jing’s expression darkened.

The group hurried inside.

In Ye Shaofeng’s courtyard, eleven Imperial Physicians immediately knelt and begged for forgiveness, "Your Majesty, we are incompetent."

Yuwen Jing’s face was as dark as ink, "Investigate! Summon the head of Dali Temple right away!"

He refused to believe that Ye Shaofeng would be poisoned for no reason at this time.

In Ye Shaofeng’s room, unaware of what the Divine Physician had said, a heart-wrenching cry was heard.

The General’s fingers were digging deep into his palm; he wanted to cry more than anyone, but he couldn’t fall apart at such a time.

Ye Shaohua recognized the voice as her sister-in-law’s.

The Divine Physician had already come out, shaking his head at Yuwen Yun.

"Madam Ye, Young Madam, you must restrain your grief," the Divine Physician looked at the two women of the Ye Family following him from the room, still begging him for help and sighed, "Young Madam, you must be about two months pregnant. You must take good care of yourself during this time and not grieve excessively."

Ye Shaohua saw her sister-in-law instinctively clutch her stomach, her lifeless face showing a trace of bewilderment.

At this moment, Madam Ye also saw Ye Shaohua and naturally knew about her being thrown in the dungeon and abandoned. It was only after one year with the army that she had finally seen her daughter.

After being informed by the General not to touch Ye Shaohua’s injuries, Madam Ye could only hold Ye Shaohua’s hand. Unable to cry anymore, she choked back sobs and said only two words, "Shaohua."

The entire courtyard resonated with sounds of sorrow.

"Divine Physician, are you truly out of options? Whatever herbs you need, if they exist in this world, I will find them for you no matter what!?" Yuwen Jing also felt a touch of sadness.

He had previously contemplated annihilating the Ye Family, but after realizing the situation, if the Ye Family perished, his throne would likely become unstable.

Knowing that the man before him was the Emperor, the Divine Physician showed no extra respect, simply shaking his head, "Even Huo Tuo would be powerless. Young General Ye was already at the end of his strength, his life hanging by a thread of medicinal herbs. I could save him, but someone had added the deadly herb ’Broken Intestines Grass’ to his medicine. Broken Intestines Grass would be fatal to even a healthy person, let alone Young General Ye. Moreover, not many people know of Broken Intestines Grass, and very few can access Young General Ye’s medicine; General, you might want to focus on this point in your investigation."

All the Imperial Physicians on the field kept their heads down, trembling, not daring to stand up.

Seeing the Emperor’s mood, they knew that if Young General Ye died, they would likely have to be buried along with him.

Yuwen Yun glanced at the Divine Physician and then at Ye Shaohua standing still in the courtyard.

His fingers involuntarily tightened.

He knew the Divine Physician wasn’t lying; if even he couldn’t cure him, Yuwen Yun’s fingers twitched, his head aching—he hadn’t expected to be too late.

"I’m going into see my brother," Ye Shaohua said directly, walking towards Ye Shaofeng’s room.

Ye Shaohua’s sister-in-law stopped her, "Shaohua, wait... let mother and I tidy up Shaofeng first. He has always been proud and would least wish for you to see him in such a sorry state."

Ye Shaohua pressed her lips together, not agreeing.

Yuwen Jing also looked at Ye Shaohua and said uncomfortably, "You should let your sister-in-law go in first."

It seemed that someone had extended their reach into the Imperial Hospital, even the Imperial Physicians could be compromised. Yuwen Jing smiled bitterly, fearing that one day those people might meddle with the medicine prescribed to him...

Yuwen Jing dared not think further.

Ye Shaohua did not look at anyone; she just took her sister-in-law’s hand in hers, scoffed coldly, "Rest assured, sister-in-law, even if I die, I will not let my brother die! In one hour, I will return to you a living Young General Ye!"

In the end, those who saw Yuwen Jing intending to spare the Ye Family promptly wished for Ye Shaofeng to die. It’s a pity—

All their rules meant nothing when it came to her, Ye Shaohua!
