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

Chapter 570: Revenge

Quan Qinghua did not see any other people in the river. When he rescued Ye Chulian, he actually paid close attention, because he thought that Ye Chulian could not have left the city alone at this time, and someone must have followed him.

But to be honest, he didn't think about the maid. He was just afraid that the person who came with him was Ye Wenyan.

Unfortunately, there was only Ye Chulian in sight, and no one else was seen.

He buried Hu Zi's father yesterday, and then went directly to the neighboring city to look after the shop, and came back a little late. Unexpectedly, when he passed by this big river, he found someone in the river, and when he went to save the person, he found that it was an acquaintance.

Quan Qinghua was helpless. "This prince and your Ye family are really predestined. When your fourth sister was in danger outside the city, she ran into this prince who was returning to the capital overnight and was rescued by this prince. Tonight it's your turn. I hope this prince won't meet another member of the Ye family!"

After he finished speaking, he shook his head at Ye Chulian who looked hopeful, "Miss Ye Wu, besides you, I didn't see anyone else in the river. I'm afraid your maid... is in danger."

Ye Chulian raised her hands to cover her face and cried silently. She had hurt Sui Xi after all. Sui Xi had clearly stopped her and reminded her that it was too late today and she should not go out, but it was a pity that she did not listen. If she had not insisted on coming out, Sui Xi would not have died.

Ye Chulian rushed to the river and shouted loudly: "Sui Xi! Sui Xi, do you hear me? Show your head, the Fourth Prince can save you!" Unfortunately, there was no response, even her own voice was drowned out by the sound of flowing water.

Hu Zi felt sorry for her, so he said to her, "Don't worry, sister. I'll go along the river bank to help you look for him." The child left immediately, trotting along the river bank, calling Sui Xi's name. Ye Chulian looked at him for a while, then asked Quan Qinghua, "Is that your book boy?"

Quan Qinghua shook his head, "Not really, it's just a child I raise by my side. Miss Ye Wu, you'd better get up and sit back. The wind is cold by the river, and you're still weak after just getting ashore. If you fall down again, I'll have to save you again."

Ye Chulian shrank back obediently, and the night wind blew, and she finally felt cold. But no matter how cold it was, it couldn't overcome her anxiety. She kept looking in the direction where Hu Zi ran. When she saw Hu Zi running away, his shadow disappeared, and then she saw Hu Zi running back and shaking his head at her with regret, her heart was completely cold.

Quan Qinghua picked up some branches and started a fire. He said to Ye Chulian, "I understand your feelings. Although she is a servant, if you get along with her for a long time, she will be no different from your family. She may even be closer than your family. Because you are the only ones who are with her all year round. No matter whether you are in a low point or a prosperous situation, she will not leave you and will always be with you. On the contrary, your family members may not be able to do this. In fact, it is your family members who have been causing you trouble all the time."

When Ye Chulian heard his words, she remembered that when she was a child, Sui Xi took the beatings for her, either by her father or by the second wife.

Fortunately, she never beat her servants. She would just pull Sui Xi, close the door, and quietly perform one drama after another about Ye Wenyan.

It was a secret, and only Sui Xi knew it. He had been acting with her the whole time, keeping it well for her.

She thought that the person would always be by her side, but she didn't expect to lose him suddenly. This feeling made her feel very dazed, as if everything was fake, as if these things never happened, and it was all a dream.

But this dream was too real, and the Fourth Prince, who was sitting opposite her with wet clothes, was also too real.

Ye Chulian lowered her head and said nothing more. Quan Qinghua also said nothing, and Hu Zi slowly added wood to the fire. After a while, he said to Ye Chulian, "There are people living downstream. Although they are far away, there is still hope. Sister, don't be too sad. As long as there is no body, it cannot be considered dead. The person you are looking for may have been rescued. She may come back to find you, or she may not look for you anymore and change her identity to live a good life in another place."

Ye Chulian looked up at Hu Zi and saw that the child was dressed in plain clothes with a white cloth tied on his head. It was obvious that there was a big funeral at home. The child who had a big funeral at home knew to comfort her in this way, which was really sensible.

She smiled at the child. Although her smile was bitter, it also meant that she took his words to heart.

"I hope that, as you said, she can survive and then change her identity to live a good life. It is better to be a commoner. If you follow an official family, your fate is completely out of your own hands. Even if the master treats her well, she can't escape someone who is plotting against her master."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Quan Qinghua again, "Your Highness the Fourth Prince saved my life today. It is a great favor, but how can I repay this great favor?"

She thought to herself that it was often said in storybooks that one should repay a life-saving favor with one's own body, but this way of repaying a favor would definitely not work for the Fourth Prince and her. After all, even if she was willing to promise, he would not accept it, and in the end she would only be embarrassed.

But if he doesn't pledge himself to her, she really doesn't know how to repay him.

This was a big deal for Ye Chulian, but Quan Qinghua didn't care. He said to her, "No need to report it. It's just a small favor. Even if it's a stranger, I will save him if I meet him. This is on my land of Northern Qi. You are the people of the Quan family. Protecting you is the responsibility and obligation of the Quan family. Besides, when I went into the water to save you, I didn't know it was you."

"Oh." Ye Chulian nodded. She didn't know it was her! "But I still want to thank Your Highness."

"Then brew a few more jars of good wine and send them to Prince Chen's mansion. I will keep them for the guests."

She was a little surprised, "Your Highness, have you ever drunk the wine I brewed?"

"Yeah." He nodded. "Your fourth sister brought two jars when she asked me to do something for her. I enjoyed drinking them very much. So if you really want to repay me, just send me some more wine!" When he said this, seeing Ye Chulian nodding vigorously, he remembered that Ye Wenyan had mentioned repaying the favor several times. Unfortunately, she never repaid the favor, but instead caused him a lot of trouble.

Seeing Quan Qinghua suddenly laugh, Ye Chulian was stunned and asked casually: "What are you laughing at, Your Highness?"

He spoke the truth: "Thinking of your fourth sister, I saved her life, but she later repaid my kindness with hatred. It was really unfair."

Ye Chulian didn't know what he meant by repaying kindness with enmity, but seeing that he didn't show any hatred when talking about it, she knew that it was either not that important or it had already passed. Maybe he had cared about it before, but now he could talk about it as gossip, so it didn't seem like a big deal.

She thought so, but she didn't know what Ye Feizhou's theft of the three letters meant to Quan Qinghua at that time.

"Then I will brew wine for Your Highness when I return to the capital. If Your Highness is anxious to drink it, I can bring a few jars of brewed wine to you. I just don't know Your Highness's taste, and you may not like the brewed wine. Your Highness can tell me your preferences, and next time I brew wine, I can make it taste like you." She gave some hints, "There are many fruits in this season, what kind of fruit does Your Highness like?"

Quan Qinghua thought for a moment and said, "Plums and lychees. If possible, please choose these two fruits to make wine. My distinguished guest will like them."

She was stunned for a moment, "Does the distinguished guest like it? What about you, the Fourth Prince?"

He shook his head, "I don't have any preferences. I just cater to the taste of my distinguished guest." After thinking about it, he added, "Or maybe make some flower wine. She also likes the scent of flowers. She once tried to make wine with flowers, but unfortunately it didn't work."

Ye Chulian sensed something was wrong, so she asked him, "Your Highness's distinguished guest... is she a woman?"

Quan Qinghua nodded, "Yes, Princess Zhaolian of Guiyue Kingdom will come to Beijing in about two months to deliver Guiyue Kingdom's compensation to me, Northern Qi. She should stay at my house then. She is a wine lover, so please send more wine, Miss Fifth." Ye Chulian couldn't tell what she felt. The originally good atmosphere was suddenly ruined by the four words "Princess Zhaolian".

She really wanted to ask Quan Qinghua why Princess Zhaolian had to stay in Prince Chen's mansion when she came to Northern Qi? Wasn't there an inn for envoys to stay in? Or the imperial palace, what was the purpose of keeping the palace for guests? It was not her turn to stay in Prince Chen's mansion.

But looking at Quan Qinghua's expression, it seemed that she didn't want to continue talking about this matter, so she didn't ask.

The atmosphere became gloomy again, the night grew darker, and the moon that had been visible before had shrunk back again. If it weren't for the fire in front of her, she would not be able to see the young man in white sitting opposite her clearly.

It's just that the young man in white is a little embarrassed at this moment. In order to save her, he also jumped into the river, soaked all over, and even the folding fan in his hand can no longer be used. But even so, he is still handsome, still like a person in a painting.

Ye Chulian felt her cheeks getting hot, she didn't know if it was from the fire or from him, but she couldn't sit there any longer. So she stood up and asked Quan Qinghua, "Fourth Prince, can you take me back to the capital? I can talk to my family and they can send some people to look for Sui Xi along the river bank. Besides, we can't just let this happen today. There's an enemy at home waiting for me to question her. I must avenge Sui Xi, and I can't let this fall in vain."

She trembled all over when she thought of these things. "If she can harm me today, she can harm others tomorrow. Sooner or later, she will harm Fourth Sister. Our family has finally calmed down. We can't let her stir up trouble again."

Seeing that she finally brought up this, Quan Qinghua nodded and said, "It is right to take revenge. If you can remember this incident, I have saved you. But I can't go back now. Please sit down and talk about it in the morning!"

Ye Chulian was puzzled, "Why can't we go back now? Are we going to sit here all night?" She looked in another direction, which was the direction the driver fled. She saw it in the river. In addition to Ye Lianmian, the driver must not be let go. "I only have one horse." Quan Qinghua pointed to the side, and sure enough, there was a white horse tied under a big tree not far away. "Look at what I'm wearing, and then look at what you're wearing. Even if I take you with me, the night wind will freeze you half to death. What's more, there is this child, you can't just leave him behind. So, Miss Ye Wu, sit down and warm yourself by the fire. When it's daybreak and your clothes are dry, it won't be too late to return to Beijing."
