Amazing Pastoral World: Unparalleled Medical Queen

"You're talking nonsense!" Ye Wenyan's eyes were red as he glared at the guard, wishing he could poke a hole in him. "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will kill you!"

"Your Highness, as the saying goes, a woman's heart is as elusive as the sea." The guard seemed to be determined not to give up, and he blurted out everything he was thinking, not caring whether Ye Wenyan was willing to listen or not.

"Your Highness, think about it. How could the lady not have complaints after being with you for so many years without any status or position? If she didn't complain, why would she ask you to divorce the princess? The princess comes from a famous family, and you treat her with respect and honor. She has done nothing wrong. But the lady insisted on ignoring your feelings and insisted on asking you to divorce the princess, making you bear the stigma of being unfaithful and unrighteous."

"Shut up!"

"Your Highness, I feel sorry for you!" The guard beat his chest and stamped his feet, indignant. "I have followed Your Highness and witnessed Your Highness's great ambitions. I have witnessed Your Highness's efforts to move towards the supreme throne with great difficulty. But what about your wife? She used the excuse of repaying your kindness to coerce Your Highness into meeting her demands when Your Highness was in the most difficult time."

"But this... this cannot be used to conclude that she and I are not of the same mind."

"Your Highness, do you know that your adopted daughter, Miss Qu Wei, your wife's apprentice, once went to the Crown Prince's mansion to treat the Crown Prince?"

"What?" Ye Wenyan's eyes were red with anger. He grabbed the guard's shirt and asked, "Are you serious?"

"Your Highness, everything I said is true. If you don't believe me, you can ask my wife and Miss Qu to come here and you will know the answer."

Ye Wenyan pushed his personal guards away and shouted at the guards beside him: "Go, bring Qu Hongmei and Qu Wei here! The king has something to ask!"

After a long while, Qu Hongmei and Qu Wei came over slowly.

The two looked haggard, their clothes were covered with dust, and they were no longer as bright and beautiful as before.

The guards who came to find them did not dare to rush them, so they could only follow them slowly.

Qu Hongmei and Qu Wei looked pale and had empty eyes, and they had not yet recovered from the blow.

Hadn't the thirteen alien tribes been poisoned by them, and were preparing to divert the blame and capture the entire Long family in one fell swoop?

Unexpectedly, they did not receive any news of the catastrophe from the Long family and the thirteen alien tribes the entire night before. In the early morning, they received the tragic news that the Chen Wang garrison had been massacred overnight.

They hurried to the base, but faced with the bloody scene that was like hell, they were completely powerless to stop it. They only had time to pack up some gold and silver items, and then they set out on the road of escape again with King Chen.

They hid in the hastily found carriage, jolting along the way, their hearts tormented. They were frustrated, angry, and restless.

They were puzzled, but did not dare to ask too many questions to the soldiers around them.

When the team entered the deep mountains and forests, the road became narrower and more rugged. The carriage could not move forward, so they had to abandon the carriage and flee on horseback.

They had never experienced such an embarrassing moment.

They wanted to stop and rest several times, but the soldiers around them urged them to keep going.

"Madam, Miss, the pursuers are biting us."

"Poison! I don't believe they dare to chase us!" Qu Hongmei's face was distorted.

The soldier looked panicked: "Madam, the ones chasing us are a group of martial arts masters. They are all highly skilled in martial arts and unfathomable. We... can't even get close to them."

They couldn't poison the enemy, and they couldn't defeat them either, so they had to keep running away like chickens being chased by dogs.

What’s even more infuriating is that Ye Wenyan was so busy escaping for his own life that he seemed to have forgotten about them. Not only did he not send anyone to check on them, he also didn’t care at all whether they could keep up or not.

Although Qu Hongmei and Qu Wei were skilled in medicine and poison, they had no martial arts skills. The two women were frail and would probably have been unable to keep up with the team if they had not been cared for by a few loyal guards and attendants.

Along the way, they were exhausted and sore all over.

Now, King Chen finally thought of them.

The anger in Qu Hongmei's heart had already rolled over to her face and could no longer be concealed.

"Prince, have you finally thought of your wife?" She walked in front of Ye Wenyan, cold as ice, with mocking eyes and a sarcastic tone.

Ye Wenyan stared at her closely, and after a moment, he glanced at Qu Wei beside her, a storm of anger gathering in his eyes.

"Wei'er, I want to ask you, have you ever been to the Crown Prince's Mansion to treat Ye Feng's illness?"

Qu Wei's heart trembled when she heard this.

Countless thoughts flashed through her mind.

How did Prince Chen know? When she went to the Crown Prince's Mansion, she disguised herself and used a pseudonym. Even Qu Hongmei didn't know about this, so how could Ye Wenyan know?

Could it be that he had never trusted her, so he investigated her?

No, we can't lose our composure.

Thinking of this, she secretly took a deep breath to calm her mind. A layer of mist appeared in her almond-shaped eyes, making her look even more pitiful.

"Foster father, you... where did you hear this? Wei'er has no connection with the Crown Prince, so why would she go to his Crown Prince's Mansion?"

Ye Wenyan stared into her eyes closely without saying a word.

Qu Wei tried to remain calm, but her heart was in turmoil and she subconsciously avoided Ye Wenyan's gaze.

Ye Wenyan was furious upon seeing this.

"Pa!" He raised his hand and slapped Qu Wei hard.

"Bitch! How dare you betray the king!"

Ye Wenyan used all his strength, and Qu Wei's face was twisted to one side by the slap, and half of her face was swollen immediately.

"Ye Wenyan, what are you crazy about?" Qu Hongmei screamed and rushed over, hugging Qu Wei. Seeing half of her face red and swollen, and blood flowing from the corners of her mouth, the dissatisfaction and anger towards Ye Wenyan that had been accumulated along the way finally erupted at this moment.

"Over the years, we, the master and disciple, have worked hard for you without a single complaint. But now you treat us like this! You even hit Wei'er! Ye Wenyan, do you still have a heart?"

Seeing her cold and arrogant attitude, showing no respect for him at all, Ye Wenyan stopped calling him Yanlang and called him by his given name. He couldn't help but sneer, "Good, very good, you finally showed your true colors. Qu Hongmei, have you had second thoughts for a long time? Tell me! Have you known for a long time that your good disciple went to treat Ye Feng without telling me?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Qu Hongmei shouted angrily, "Why would Wei'er go to treat Ye Feng's illness? The poison that Ye Feng was infected with came from our Medicine King Valley. How could she shoot herself in the foot?"

"I remember now." Ye Wenyan recalled that Queen Shi had asked him to let Qu Wei come to the capital, and he could not help but say, "My mother once wrote to me, asking me to find a way to make Qu Wei gain the trust of my father so that he could achieve great things. The reason was that Qu Wei could recognize the poison that Ye Feng was infected with. Qu Wei, this method was yours, right? You actually wanted to see Ye Feng a long time ago, right? And you insisted on saying that it was for my great cause. You have had ulterior motives for a long time!"
