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

Chapter 368 The Emperor Must Keep His Word

This is a very positive method. If you keep leaving clues, you will be able to find what you want and meet the person you want one day. Now, haven't you already got two things? It can be seen that this method is useful.

So she had to follow Feng Qingqing's example and could no longer stay in Lin'an City and wait in vain. She had to do something to prove her existence and give a signal to those who could understand that "I, Ye Wenyan, am here."

Or even if we cannot convey “Ye Wenyan is here”, we should at least convey “people from later generations are here”.

This is why she opened a jewelry store, and why she is not afraid of betrayal by Ying Nantian and Shangguan Xiaoya.

Anyway, the purpose of betrayal is to make more money and sell more things, so betrayal is okay. Let them take this craft and go far away, to places she can't go, and spread this kind of jewelry.

Due to Ye Wenyan's insistence, Ying Nantian and the others did not mention the indenture again. But they made a vow together that they would never betray their master in this life, and would never leave his side in this life. If they broke the vow, they wished that all they had learned in this life would be in vain, and only a dream would remain.

This oath was almost identical to the oaths made by Bai Chuxiao and Xiao Jue. Ye Wenyan thought, perhaps this was fate!

When they returned to the general's mansion, Nanny Ji pulled her aside and told her about how she had been keeping an eye on the old lady and the second house these days.

The old lady's illness has been cured, and the family can go to visit her every morning and evening again. However, the second lady and the old lady had a quarrel because of the last time when Aunt Tang mentioned the idea of taking a concubine, and they have not yet reconciled. So the so-called morning and evening visits are just a formality. The second lady goes to pay her respects on time every day, but she just pays her respects and leaves, and doesn't stay for a while.

The people on their side were watching day and night, and they wrote down every word said by the second wife and her husband, Xichun, the old lady, and Juntao, but they did not find any useful information.

Just one thing...

Nanny Ji told her, "The Second Master still wants to marry a concubine, and he has already chosen one. She is the concubine that the Second Master has kept in the outer city for many years. They have a daughter who is said to be the same age as the Third Miss. As for why the wife was not allowed to enter the mansion for so many years, but is suddenly brought up again now, it is because the wife is pregnant again."

Ye Wenyan laughed when he heard this. "How could Ye Jingsheng have done such a big deal without telling Xiao Shubai? His daughter is now the same age as Ye Hongzhuang. It seems that Xiao Shubai is just a show-off. He looks powerful, but he actually doesn't do any serious work."

When she said these words, she suddenly thought of someone.

That was the person she saw when she was treating the wounded in the outer city. It was a young girl. Ye Chulian said at the time that the girl looked a bit like her. Now that she thinks about it, maybe it wasn't a coincidence, and it wasn't that Ye Chulian was dazzled. It might be true.

"These are not the main issues." Madam Ji said, "Whether the Second Master takes a concubine or not, or whether he has other children or not, it has little to do with us. The reason why I mentioned this matter is because the secret guard who was watching Xichun reported that Xichun made a big fuss after hearing about this matter, smashed everything in the room, and threatened the Second Master that only she could be the concubine, and if someone else was chosen, she would tell everyone about the matter, and then no one would be able to think well."

Ye Wenyan frowned. That thing? Which thing?

"I can't think of what it is, but the Second Master seems to be very scared about it. He kept comforting Xichun and promised to promote her to a concubine, which is only half a step away from being a co-wife. Only then did Xichun stop making a fuss. Miss, Xichun used to be from our courtyard. Could what she said be related to us?"

Of course it is related. Ye Wenyan is almost certain that there must be some inside story when Ye Jingsheng and Xiao Shubai agreed to marry Xichun, and this inside story is most likely related to their eldest wife's side.

It’s a pity that even though she deployed so many people to keep a close eye on it, they still couldn’t find out the truth.

"I guess he's also wary, so he won't say anything behind my back." She murmured to herself, "Blame me. If I had taken this measure earlier, maybe the truth about my grandfather and father's death would have been revealed long ago."

After hearing this, Madam Ji comforted her, "After all, no one thought that it would be the old lady who did it in the end. But now that the matter has been settled, the only thing left is our eldest master."

Ye Wenyan frowned tightly. Is the matter with the old general settled?

Probably not yet. The person Tang mentioned was just a guess, and no one had any real evidence. Including why General Ye only liked his eldest son and not his second son, these were all her guesses.

And what exactly was the old general saying that pissed him off? Was it the truth that his son was not his biological son, or the news that his biological son would not live long? There was no real evidence for all of this, and she hadn't figured out how to avenge herself even if the evidence was in front of her.

Whether to make it public or settle it privately, that is the problem.

"Keep watching!" She sighed, "Maybe I should go to Xiushan County, maybe I'll find something."

That night, Ye Wenyan suffered from insomnia as expected.

I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been thinking about opening a jewelry store, but I’ve had trouble sleeping recently. Sometimes when I finally fall asleep, I’ll have a dream in which her jewelry is spread all over the world and is finally discovered by Ah Heng, Ah Ran, and Qing Qing, and then they follow clues to find her.

Such a dream may seem beautiful at first, but it will make people feel irritated as time goes by.

Because everything is an illusion, the real world is far less beautiful than in dreams.

So she didn't like to sleep recently, and simply pinched flowers and made hand gestures to keep herself energetic. In the past few days, she usually stayed in Master Liyuan's refining room and helped him to make gears for the clock. Now that the clock is completed, she feels that she has nothing to do and is bored.

Seeing that she couldn't sleep, Nanny Ji told her another story: "The Fifth Miss asked the Second Young Master for help in making wine, and the Second Young Master took her to the Renwang Palace. Every day, she left at night and returned early in the morning. During the day, the Fifth Miss hurriedly paid her respects to the old lady, and then she stayed in the room to catch up on her sleep all day." After that, she suggested to Ye Wenyan, "If the young lady really doesn't want to sleep, why not go to the Renwang Palace to take a look and see how the Fifth Miss's wine is brewing."

Ye Wenyan thought this was a good suggestion.

But when he was slipping out of the door, he ran into the emperor in red leaning against the gate of the mansion.

The little girl jumped up and down and grabbed the red-robed emperor's wide sleeves, shaking them with a smile, "Master Liyuan, why are you here? Are you here to see me?"

Shi Liyuan rolled his eyes! Isn't this nonsense? He didn't come to see her, could it be that he came to see the old lady of the First-Rank General's Mansion?

"I'm going to Renwang Palace, why don't you come with me?"

Shi Liyuan frowned when he heard this, "Going to Renwang Palace in the middle of the night?" Does his little girl even know what the difference between men and women is?

"Let's go and watch Chu Lian brew wine." She said bluntly, "Chu Lian borrowed the place in Renwang Palace to brew medicinal wine for me. My second brother is here too. I can't sleep anyway so I want to go and see. You come with me!" She said while pulling his arm, "Come on, let's walk there, just to stretch our muscles. You have been staying in Yanhua Palace for years, and you have to use magic to go out. I'm afraid your bones will be rusted. You should walk more in the future, so that you can feel the breath of the world."

Shi Liyuan felt that this was right. After more than four hundred years, it was indeed time for the creature to grow old.

But that was in the past. Ever since he met this little girl, he seemed to be walking around the mortal city frequently. Didn't he go hiking a few days ago? Now that spring is here and the flowers are blooming, why not put the matter of planting flowers on the agenda?

So while being pulled by the little girl, he discussed with her: "If you are really too idle, go find some flower seeds during the day. We have to plant all the mountains outside Beijing. I am really worried about you relying on flowers to release spiritual power."

He pinched the storage bracelet on the little girl's wrist and said, "There aren't many flowers in it, right?"

Ye Wenyan nodded, "Not much. The ones grown on Yanhua Mountain may seem like a lot, but if we really encounter something that requires a lot of spiritual power, we will still be stretched. I always want to plant all the mountains and put all the flowers in the bracelet. By then, even if the world changes drastically, I will be able to protect myself and rescue others."

"Tomorrow I will have Lian Shi send people out of the palace to buy flower seeds. As for the mountains outside the city, you don't need to worry about it. I will level the mountains and let you sow seeds. I will also set up restrictions at the foot of the mountains so that no one can go up the mountains to pick seeds at will."

"I want to go to Xiushan County soon." Ye Wenyan grabbed his arm and said, "I have roughly checked the family affairs, and some things need to be confirmed. But this matter cannot be done in a high-profile manner, and it still needs to be done quietly to avoid alerting the enemy. So when you are free, let's go there at night and come back quickly."

Shi Liyuan glanced at her and said, "I am always free. If you say you want to go tonight, I can be there in the blink of an eye."

"Forget about tonight, I still have to go and check out the medicinal wine. Now that the clinic in the outer city is on track, the inner city must also be supported as soon as possible. Now we are waiting for this batch of medicinal wine. Once the medicinal wine is brewed and the clinic is open, I will have accomplished another big thing. As for the jewelry store, I believe that with the help of my family, I will be able to choose a suitable place soon."

She touched her earrings again when she said this, and then discussed with him: "Master Liyuan, if one day there is a clue about the partners I'm looking for, will you accompany me to find them? You said that no matter how high the mountain is, no matter how far the road is, you will accompany me wherever I want to go, you can't go back on your word."

The little girl lay on his arms, her whole body hanging on him.

Shi Liyuan wanted to laugh, "I will keep my word, and even if you want to go by yourself, I won't let you go. But Ah Yan, there is something I haven't told you yet..."
