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

Chapter 90 The Boy from the Past

"Take off your clothes and apply medicine for me." Ye Wenyan ordered Zhuier, "Why are you in a daze? You will die if you lose too much blood."

Zhuier stamped her feet anxiously, "Miss, there's a grown man in the car! How can you administer the medicine?" After saying that, she looked at Quan Qinghua. Her meaning was obvious, she hoped Quan Qinghua could sit outside the car for a while.

But His Royal Highness the King of Dust didn't respond to her gaze at all. He just stared straight ahead, motionless.

Ye Wenyan's voice was weak, and he reminded Zhuier again: "Hurry up."

"Miss, is this really possible?"

"It's OK." She also looked at Quan Qinghua, and then said word by word, "A gentleman is not afraid of injury." This caught Quan Qinghua's attention, and he asked her, "How do you know that I am a gentleman?"

She replied, "I can't be wrong about people. His Highness King Chen's eyes are very clear, without a single flicker. Besides, in my current state, I have no right to avoid people."

Quan Qinghua suddenly became interested in this woman. He told Ye Wenyan, "I have seen you once before, at General Ye's birthday banquet. You were still young that year, about five or six years old, and you looked different from now. Later, I went to Guiyue Country and never met anyone from Northern Qi again." When he talked about those years, it was as if he was talking about someone else's business, plain and unrelated to him. "More than a year ago, your portrait was delivered to me. Because you were engaged to Qinglu, Northern Qi sent someone to deliver the portrait to me, as a way to recognize your future brother and sister. Strangely enough, you don't look very similar to the portrait now, but I recognized you at a glance just now. Fourth Miss Ye, I heard that you got married on the second day of the twelfth lunar month. What about my sixth brother?"

Ye Wenyan listened to him in a daze. He could not understand some things, such as what Guiyue Country was, and why this Prince Chen went to Guiyue Country and why he had not seen anyone from Northern Qi for a long time.

But she didn't have the energy to think about these things. Her injured body was almost unable to bear it, and she didn't even have the strength to answer him.

Zhuier answered for her angrily, "My young lady didn't marry that scumbag Prince Su! How could such a conscienceless person be worthy of my young lady? Your Highness, please don't mix my young lady with Prince Su anymore. Even if there was anything in the past, it's in the past. The engagement is over, and from now on, we will go our separate ways. No, we can't go our separate ways. We still have to seek revenge on him, and we must not let him go easily."

Zhuier was furious when she mentioned the Sixth Prince. Although she felt that it was not good to talk to the Fourth Prince in this way, she could not help but get angry. After she finished speaking, she felt that she had said something wrong, so she quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Fourth Prince, I shouldn't have scolded your brother in front of you. I really couldn't help it."

Quan Qinghua pondered for a while, but did not continue to ask questions about this issue. He just took the bottle of medicine back from Zhuier and said, "Since you don't know how to apply medicine to your young lady, then I will do it myself!"

Zhuier refused and stretched out his hand to grab it, but was stopped by Ye Wenyan, "It's okay, let the Fourth Prince come down!"

The wound on the shoulder was the most serious. The knife had barbs and the flesh was exposed. Quan Qinghua took out the dagger he carried with him and carefully cut open the clothes, finally revealing the wound.

He frowned as he watched, the wounds were so bloody and blood was all over her body, but this Fourth Miss Ye didn't even frown. It was impossible that she didn't feel any pain, but she just endured it.

Is this the granddaughter of the first-rank general Ye Zhenwei? It is said that a general's family will not have bad sons, but I didn't expect that the girl would be so strong.

"It will hurt when the medicine is poured on, bear with it." He reminded her, but he felt that with the girl's endurance, his reminder was unnecessary, so he said nothing more and just poured the powder in the bottle on the wound. One by one, he did not stop until the whole bottle of powder was emptied. "This is the hemostatic medicine from Guiyue Country. I only have this bottle, and it can be used for the most serious wounds. It should be no problem to hold on until you return to Beijing. After returning to Beijing, with the face of your First-Rank General's Mansion, we will definitely be able to invite an imperial physician to treat you."

There was a small medicine box in the carriage. He took out a piece of white cotton cloth from the box and handed it to Zhuier, "Bandage your young lady!"

Zhuier immediately took over and started bandaging the wound, but his skills were really poor and the knot he tied was extremely ugly.

Ye Wenyan no longer had the energy to care about these things. After treating his wound, he tilted his head and fell asleep again.

The carriage continued to move forward for nearly an hour, and then there were sounds coming from outside, including human voices and horse hooves, which sounded very chaotic.

Zhuier heard a man shouting, "Whose carriage is coming up ahead? Who is sitting in the carriage?"

The carriage stopped, as if it was surrounded by people. Zhuier was a little scared and hugged Ye Wenyan tightly.

The driver had already answered: "It's His Royal Highness King Chen's carriage. We are back from Guiyue Country to attend the funeral of the late emperor." "Your Royal Highness King Chen?" Another voice was raised, with unconcealed surprise, "Is His Royal Highness King Chen back?"

Zhuier thought the noise sounded familiar, so he lifted the curtain and looked out, and saw Lin'an Prefecture Governor Chi Hongfang at a glance.

She was so happy that she shouted loudly: "Mr. Prefect! Mr. Prefect!"

Chi Hongfang was startled at first because King Chen was sitting in the carriage, and then he was startled again when he heard a little girl calling him eagerly. He got off the horse and walked a few steps forward. An official who followed him handed over the lantern in his hand. Chi Hongfang recognized Zhuier at a glance: "Is it the maid of the fourth young lady Ye? The one who went back to the government office to report the case? Girl, is the fourth young lady in the carriage?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhuier nodded repeatedly and burst into tears with excitement. "Sir, are you here to pick us up? You are finally here. My young lady almost died outside!"

Chi Hongfang almost cried, "I finally found you. If I couldn't find you, how would I explain to Lord Yun?" He still thought that it was Yun Chen who chose Ye Wenyan. He was so happy to have found someone that he forgot about His Royal Highness Prince Chen's return to the capital. "Hurry up, I will escort you back to the palace."

"Sir, the prefect!" The driver was not happy. "There's not only Miss Ye Si in the car, but also our Lord Prince Chen. Could you please greet His Highness first? It's not good to just ignore him like this, right?"

Chi Hongfang slapped his forehead and cursed himself a hundred and eighty times in his heart. Why did he get so confused when he encountered something? Where had he been as the prefect all these years?

So he immediately knelt down and said solemnly: "Lin'an Prefecture Governor Chi Hongfang respectfully welcomes His Royal Highness Prince Chen back to the capital! Long live His Royal Highness!"

The officials behind him were about to kneel down, but they heard the man in the car say, "Stand up, no need to kneel before me. Miss Ye Si is seriously injured and needs to return to the capital immediately. Since you are the prefect of Lin'an, you should lead the way and ask the soldiers guarding the city to open the city gates."

After saying this, a jade token was handed out from the car.

Zhuier helped pass the sign, and when Chi Hongfang saw the word "Hua" clearly written on it, he knew it was the King of Dust. So without further delay, he immediately got up and mounted his horse, leading a team of carriages and horses back to Lin'an City.

Zhuier was completely relieved, but she realized that she had already been exhausted and almost collapsed. She wanted to sleep like a young lady, but she couldn't because she had an important task to complete.

Finally, they entered Lin'an City. With Chi Hongfang's order, the soldiers guarding the city let them pass without saying anything. The driver outside asked, "Where are we going now? The First Rank General's Mansion? Sir Chi, please lead the way."

Zhuier was anxious, and she lifted the carriage curtain and shouted, "We are not going to the First-Rank General's Mansion, we want to go to the palace!"

"Enter the palace?" The driver turned around and looked at Zhuier like a fool. "Did you say it wrong or did I hear it wrong? What time is it now? You said you want to enter the palace? So the palace is owned by your family?"

Zhuier frowned. In fact, she also felt that entering the palace was not right, but her young lady insisted on entering the palace, so there must be a reason for the palace. So she looked at Chi Hongfang and said only one sentence: "Sir, it is my young lady who wants to enter the palace."

The carriage continued to move forward, heading towards the palace. Quan Qinghua looked at Ye Wenyan with an inquiring look, but unfortunately Ye Wenyan was unconscious and could not give him an answer.

Was it because he had been away from Northern Qi for too long? He was not used to the changes in Kyoto. Hearing that the First-rank General Ye Zhenwei had passed away, his son, the Great General Ye, also died. According to the moral character of those officials, once the person who supported the family's appearance was gone, the once prosperous First-rank General Mansion would definitely withdraw from the court in the shortest possible time, and its glory would be gone, and its status would plummet.

Fourth Miss Ye did not marry his sixth brother, which meant that she had no relationship with the royal family. How could a person who had no relationship with the royal family say that she wanted to enter the palace at this time?

Quan Qinghua became increasingly silent, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes, as if his eyeballs were suddenly covered with frost.

The Ye family, he had a connection with the Ye family... From the outer city to the inner city, all the way to the gate of the palace. The officials who had been following to look for people had been sent back. Chi Hongfang got off the horse and stood in front of the carriage, saying respectfully: "Your Highness Prince Chen, Fourth Miss Ye, we have arrived at the palace."

Fourth Miss Ye didn't say a word, and neither did His Royal Highness Prince Chen. Instead, Zhuier carried Ye Wenyan on his back again, lifted the curtain, and walked out while bending over.

Chi Hongfang hurriedly gave a hand, and it was this hand that allowed him to see His Royal Highness Prince Chen sitting upright in the car without moving.

How many years had it been since I last saw this prince? When the late emperor sent the fourth prince to Guiyue Kingdom as a hostage, the fourth prince was only twelve or thirteen years old, right? In his impression, he was a spirited young man, always with a gentle smile, never acting superior because he was a prince, but polite to everyone he met, and he grasped that politeness very well, neither lowering his noble status nor making people feel too distant.

But now it seems to be different. Nearly ten years have passed, the boy is gone, and the one who comes back is a man who looks gentle as jade, but always makes people see some restraint and forbearance...
