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

Chapter 568 Who asked you to harm me

Zhou Cheng was a little confused: "Why do you still stand on her side when you are no longer the empress?"

Chi Hongfang glared, "Are you stupid? She is not the empress, that's just temporary, the quarrel is also temporary, in the end the one who bows his head and admits his fault is definitely the emperor. Do you think that falling in love with a girl for more than four hundred years is just a joke? Then you have to love and pamper her with all your heart! So how can you be really angry, it's just a game of the empress acting like a spoiled child and the emperor admitting his fault."

Zhou Cheng once again sighed at Chi Hongfang's awareness, thinking that being an official was not for nothing.

There are still two days left until the general’s death.

Just when everyone thought that the next two days would be peaceful, something happened in the house to the east. The house to the east was where Ye Chulian made wine. These days, people came and went in the house, all of them were craftsmen who came to work.

Ye Chulian was also busy from morning to night. She would go to see the several wine kilns that had been dug, and then go to the other end to see the several renovated aromatherapy workshops. The craftsmen all knew her identity, and would respectfully call her "Fifth Miss" when they met her.

After a few days, Ye Chulian felt a sense of accomplishment. Although she didn't consider herself the mistress of this place, she felt that she had feelings and responsibilities for this house. Seeing that the renovation progress was getting faster and faster, she had already begun to think about finding some more helpers to pass on the wine-making skills, or even if someone could help her, it would be faster than doing it alone.

The maid Sui Xi suggested to her: "Why not call Madam Liu over! Miss, you learned this skill from Madam, and Madam is amazing at making wine. If you do these things together, you will definitely do better than now. Madam can live here, so that the house will not be empty at night. Secondly, Madam will be close to us, and Miss will not have to worry about her all day long." Now Liu Yan is no longer Ye Jingsheng's concubine, and the servants have changed their names and called her Madam Liu. Ye Chulian used his own money to buy her a small courtyard in the outer city, and Liu Yan moved to the outer city to live, and her life was very peaceful.

But no matter how peaceful it was, the mother and daughter, who had never been separated since childhood, really missed each other terribly. In addition, Ye Chulian had been busy recently and had no time to visit Liu Yan, which made them miss her even more.

Ye Chulian also thought Sui Xi's suggestion was a good idea. After she started thinking about it, she could not sit still and pulled Sui Xi out - "You are right, my mother's craftsmanship is indeed better than mine. Such good craftsmanship should not be wasted. Let's go to the outer city now and talk to my mother about this. As long as she nods, Fourth Sister will definitely not have any objection."

Sui Xi wondered if it was too hasty to leave the city now. It was already half past the evening hour, and by the time he arrived at Madam Liu's house in the outer city, it was almost dark.

Ye Chulian didn't expect that another whole day would pass by in such a busy way. It seemed that she didn't do anything all day, just running back and forth here and there, and even had a meal in between. It was already half past the evening? So she reminded her again: "Miss, you haven't had dinner yet! The General's Mansion has sent someone to urge you to have dinner in the flower hall. How about we go back to the mansion to have dinner, and then go out of the city to see the Madam tomorrow morning?"

Ye Chulian disagreed. "I can't wait any longer. Your idea is so good that I don't want to wait any longer. It's okay. Let's ask the driver to drive faster. When we get to my mother, I'll ask her to make us something delicious. Or I'll buy you something you like on the way, such as cakes or meat. You can have whatever you want."

Sui Xi was about to cry, "I'm not a greedy girl, I'm just worried that you shouldn't go out at this time. Besides, Madam can't just leave. Things at home have to be packed up, and we have to clean up the yard and house here, otherwise where will Madam stay? Besides, the day after tomorrow is the eldest master's death anniversary. Madam is no longer a member of the Ye family, so it would be awkward for her to stay here. It's better for her to live in the outer city first, and come over after the death anniversary, when the yard is cleaned up."

"I know." Ye Chulian still insisted on leaving the city. "I'll go there tonight and tell her, and pick her up in a few days."

Sui Xi couldn't get rid of her. Even if she used the excuse that "the city gates are about to close", Ye Chulian would shut her up by saying "I know the officers and they can let me pass". The little maid had no choice but to follow her out of the house and get on the carriage.

When the carriage rushed all the way from the inner city to the outer city, it was indeed dark. When they arrived at Liu Yan's house, they found that Liu Yan was not there. Only a maid was left to look after the house.

The maid told her, "Madam is at Shixuan Clinic! These days, Madam has nothing to do and is bored, so she often goes to Shixuan Clinic to help with some odd jobs. Everyone in the clinic knows who our Madam is and they are very kind to her. She doesn't feel tired and she has someone to talk to. I think that's great, so I didn't stop her."

Ye Chulian also thought it was a good idea. After all, Shixuan Medical Clinic was opened by her fourth sister, and it was also her family business. It was not bad to lend a hand. But she had more important things to entrust to Liu Yan now, and she was afraid that she could not help Shixuan Medical Clinic. However, when there was more wine, she could send more to Shixuan Medical Clinic, which was also a help.

She returned to the carriage and continued walking towards Shixuan Medical Clinic.

However, the driver seemed not to know the road. He drove around in circles until it was completely dark, but still did not reach the Shixuan Medical Clinic.

Ye Chulian didn't come to the outer city often, and she wasn't very familiar with the location of Shixuan Medical Clinic. Although she stayed there for many days when the earth dragon turned over, she was just wandering around in the same place during those days, and didn't bother to see what streets and alleys were around.

In addition, girls are naturally a little bit directionally challenged, so she still doesn't understand why they haven't reached the clinic yet. She even said to Xi: "My mother lives so far away from the clinic, how does she get there every day? It takes too much time to go back and forth. I have to think about it. If she really doesn't want to go back to the inner city to make wine, I will help her find a yard in the outer city. It must be closer to the clinic so that it is convenient for her to go back and forth."

As they were talking, the carriage stopped and someone outside seemed to be asking them where they were going and why they were leaving the city at this time.

Ye Chulian was stunned. Out of the city? Out of what city? Aren’t they already in the outer city?

I wanted to lift the curtain to look outside, but the negotiations outside were already completed. I don't know what the driver said, and the people who stopped the carriage quickly let it go. The speed of the carriage suddenly increased, almost running, and it rushed out a long distance.

Ye Chulian and Sui Xi leaned back and nearly fell. Sui Xi got anxious and lifted the curtain of the carriage and shouted, "Where are you going?" After he asked, he realized that their carriage had already left the outer city and headed straight for the suburbs of Beijing.

The little maid's face turned pale with fright. She tried to reach out to grab the driver, but he hit the horse and she fell back into the carriage.

Ye Chulian also became anxious. She lifted the car window curtain and looked out, but saw that it was pitch black outside. The sky was overcast and even the moon could not be seen.

"You are the coachman of the Ye Mansion, why do you want to harm me?" She forced herself to calm down and spoke loudly to the coachman. The coachman ignored her at first, but Ye Chulian kept asking, maybe she was tired of his questions, so she replied: "What's wrong with being the coachman of the Ye Mansion? There are more than one master in the Ye Mansion, why can't I harm you?"

Ye Chulian understood the meaning of these words, and asked again: "Who asked you to harm me?"

The driver answered again: "Of course it is other masters in the mansion. Fifth Miss, please don't ask. I am also collecting money to help people get rid of disasters. Don't blame me. To be honest, if I hadn't lost the money in gambling last month and couldn't pay it back, I wouldn't have taken such a deal. Although the Ye family is in a mess now, the regular money for servants is not less than a penny, and I like this job very much. It's a pity that once I take this deal, I can't stay in the Ye family anymore. After all, even if you die, the person who paid me to do the job will not let me go. So after I finish the job, I will fly away and no one will be able to find me then."

Ye Chulian asked again: "What about the money you lost in gambling? Are you not going to pay it back?"

The driver said, "I have nothing to pay back now that the people have run away. The master gave me two hundred taels, which is enough for me to hide far away. Instead of using this money to pay off the debt, I might as well go out and buy land and build a house, don't you think?"

Ye Chulian's brows were furrowed tighter and tighter, and one hand was tightly clasped with Wei Xi's. Both of them were shivering.

But she still insisted, at least things had to be made clear.

"You are a slave, where can you run to?"

The driver laughed. "I am no longer a slave. The master returned my indenture to me when he gave me the money. Now I am a commoner and I can go anywhere in the world. Fifth Miss, please give up trying to persuade me and don't blame me too much. I am just a knife. If you want to blame someone, blame the person who wielded the knife. She is the real murderer."

As they were talking, the horse ran faster than before. Ye Chulian tried several times to pull Sui Xi off the horse but failed.

The driver seemed to be on guard against them jumping out of the carriage, so he pulled out a board from somewhere and placed it across the outside of the carriage. Sui Xi was so anxious that she pulled out the hairpin on her head and stabbed the driver in the back, but the driver was very strong and turned around and snatched the hairpin away. He also said to her viciously: "I would do this to others, but if you make me angry, I will kill you right here!"

I will never dare to rejoice again.

The carriage rushed forward very fast, turning twice. Ye Chulian kept calling for help out of the window, but unfortunately the carriage was not on the official road but on a small road, and there was no one there. Occasionally, she would meet one or two people returning home at night, but they had no intention of caring about other people's affairs. They would stay away from the running carriage, and no one wanted to help her.

I don't know how long it took, but I heard the sound of running water ahead. It was very loud, not a stream, but a mighty river.

Ye Chulian was even more panicked, because she knew that there was a particularly wide river fifteen miles outside Lin'an City, where boats sailed. The water of that river was turbulent all year round, and it was unknown how many lives had been taken by it.

She could almost guess what the driver was planning, but if he really wanted to throw her and Sui Xi into the river, how would she save herself?
