The Demon Queen of Divine Doctor is not to be trifled with

Chapter 20 Burial

"Why should this general take advantage of her?" Ye Jing was furious. "I am a dignified third-rank military officer. I should have gone to the palace to discuss matters and kneel down to mourn. I should have gone with her or not! Why didn't you call me?"

Yun Chen still had that fake smile on his face, "If you didn't call me, then you didn't call me. I'm in charge of the Imperial Observatory and I don't know anything about the court. If General Ye Er wants to know the reason, he should ask the right person, not me." After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Ye Wenyan who had already walked out, "Fourth Miss, let's go!"

Ye Wenyan nodded and followed Yun Chen and Wu Fei out.

People automatically made way for the couple, and Mu also stood aside, just in time to hear Ye Lianmian muttering, "Why is this witch different from before?" Her heart skipped a beat. If her second daughter could see it, what about others? Did others also see that something was wrong with Ye Wenyan?

On the side, Xiao glanced at Ye Jingsheng and gave him a wink.

Although Ye Jingsheng was unwilling, he still gritted his teeth and followed Ye Wenyan, preparing to enter the palace together.

The road to the General's Mansion was not easy to walk at night because no one had a lantern. The three of them were all dressed in plain clothes, and Wu Fei was wearing a white belt. Ye Jingsheng was watching from afar behind them, and it felt like the three ghosts walking in front of him, which was creepy no matter how he looked at them.

Ye Wenyan didn't feel anything, she just felt a little cold. Even though her plain clothes were cotton, the chill still penetrated into her bones.

The snow was still falling, and the snow on the ground was getting thicker and thicker, making a crackling sound when stepped on.

She lowered her voice and asked Yun Chen: "Who let me into the palace?"

Yun Chen answered vaguely: "I only listen to one person." "Master Liyuan?" She smiled, "Then I'll have to trouble you to make this trip." After saying that, she looked at Wu Fei, "And I'll have to trouble you, Eunuch Wu."

Wu Fei quickly waved his hand, "I would also like to thank the Fourth Miss."

She was puzzled, "Thank me for what?"

Wu Fei smiled bitterly and said nothing.

Yun Chen took over the conversation: "He really should thank the Fourth Miss, otherwise the Queen should have issued an imperial decree by now, asking him to prepare to be buried with the late Emperor."

Ye Wenyan frowned when he heard this, "Buried with him?"

Wu Fei nodded, "Yes, I will be buried with you, because I was once the most capable eunuch beside the late emperor."

She did not ask any more questions. In the old ritual system, burying people with the dead was an extremely cruel system that had never been abandoned. Some people did it for love, some for the master, and some were victims who had to be sacrificed in power struggles.

She didn't know which type Wu Fei was, but it was obvious that Wu Fei didn't want to die.

A cold wind blew and Ye Wenyan shivered. Yun Chen asked her, "Fourth Miss, are you wearing too little? Go back and get a cloak!"

She shook her head, "No, maybe I got a cold during the day and I feel a little chilly."

Yun Chen said with concern: "The fourth young lady doesn't look well. After the palace affairs are resolved, we will find a royal doctor to see her."

She still shook her head, "It's okay, I know what's going on."

Several people hurried out of the palace and boarded the imperial carriage of the Imperial Observatory. Ye Jingsheng followed behind in the carriage of the Ye Mansion, urging the driver to drive faster from time to time to catch up with the imperial carriage in front.

It was past midnight and there was not a single person on the streets of Lin'an's inner city. White banners had already been raised and paper money was scattered all over the ground.

There was a sign of the Imperial Observatory hanging outside the palace carriage. All the officials saluted and gave way, and the carriage from General Ye's mansion was also allowed to pass.

When they reached the gate of the palace, Wu Fei got off first, and then asked Yun Chen and Ye Wenyan to get off. Ye Jingsheng also got off the carriage and trotted forward. When he stood still, he saw the imperial guards at the gate of the palace reaching out to stop Ye Wenyan and said in a cold voice: "This is Deyang Gate, the gate for officials to go to court. Women are not allowed to enter the palace from this gate."

After saying that, he glanced at Ye Wenyan again, and then said to Wu Fei, "Eunuch Wu, I didn't hear that any women were summoned to the palace tonight. Please explain, Eunuch."

Wu Fei did not explain or introduce who Ye Wenyan was. He just pointed at Yun Chen and said, "This is the director of the Imperial Observatory."
