The princess has no moral principles, why did you provoke her?

Chapter 72: Enemies in the Thatched Cottage

After Ye Qingyan returned to Zuixianlou, she took out a pen and paper and began to design the decoration of Baicaotang.

She wants to make money with the dual identities of the divine fortune teller Xiaoqi and the ghost doctor.

Zhennan Palace

Early in the morning, two guards came to the woodshed.

A guard holding the key said, "Ye Ziyan was quite quiet tonight. Maybe she lost her voice from shouting in the afternoon, otherwise I would have been killed by her noise.

Let's take her out and give her twenty lashes, and today's mission will be complete."

He finished speaking and prepared to open the door.

The moment he pushed open the door, his face turned pale with fear. He pointed at the ground with one hand and said in a trembling voice, "Dead, dead! Ye Ziyan is dead! Brother Zhang Wu, come here quickly!"

Zhang Laowu hurried in and saw that the blood on the ground had already solidified and there were three bloody holes on Ye Ziyan's body.

He said calmly, "She's been killed! Let's go report this to the prince."

"No, the prince is bedridden now. If you mention Ye Ziyan again, the prince will get angry again. Aren't you just adding fuel to the fire?

This imposter is doomed anyway, so just let the princess know."

After the two of them finished their discussion, they came to Shen Meng through a messenger.

They clasped their fists and saluted: "Greetings, Princess!"

Princess Zhennan was looking at the account book in her hand and was extremely worried. She had no money left to buy food for next month.

She put down the account book in her hand, with a hint of impatience in her eyes: "What happened?"

Zhang Laowu spoke directly: "Princess, Ye Ziyan is dead!"

Shen Meng's face sank. "Dead? She was beaten to death with only twenty blows of the stick? She's too weak to withstand a beating."

Zhang Laowu continued, "She was murdered. She was stabbed three times and her blood was all over the floor. When we brothers saw her this morning, she was already dead."

Shen Meng's eyes were filled with hatred as she angrily said, "She died so soon. It was too easy for her! She lied to us for a whole year. Who killed her?"

The image of Ye Xinran appeared in Shen Meng's mind, and then she shook her head, "She doesn't have that much courage."

Princess Zhennan's eyes were filled with hatred, and her voice was cold: "Now that this scourge is dead, throw him into a mass grave and expose his body directly.

Let those mountain cats, wild beasts, and ants gnaw on her body. After all, she killed the princess."

"Yes!"

Zhang Laowu and the other man left.

Princess Zhennan touched the bracelet on her hand and instructed, "Yuxi, over the past year, I have given that impostor many fine items. Go to Ziyue Tower and bring back all those jewels."

"Yes, slave, I'll do it now."

Yuxi walked out, and Shen Meng stared at Xu Pozi with a fierce look: "Xu Pozi, do you admit your guilt?"

Mrs. Xu immediately lowered her head and said, "I admit my guilt!"

There was a chill in Shen Meng's voice: "For so many years, you have gone to see that disaster star every year, and ended up bringing back a fake princess.

The Zhennan Palace has now become the laughing stock of the entire capital. Not only is the Princess dissatisfied, but Prince Zhan will also be very dissatisfied if he hears about it. The Emperor will also vent his anger on the Zhennan Palace."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Mrs. Xu knelt down repeatedly and said, "Princess, I know I was wrong.

Every time I saw her, it was really Ye Ziyan. Ye Sihai's wife said she was Ye Qingyan, so I believed it. I didn't expect to fall into their trap.

Princess, all of this is a conspiracy by Ye Sihai and his wife. I never thought they would do this. Please forgive me."

Princess Zhennan said with a stern expression: "The prince is still on his sickbed. You brought Ye Ziyan back here, so you have an unshirkable responsibility.

If the prince recovers from his illness, the first person he will kill will be you.

"Mother Xu, you and this princess have always been master and servant, and I cannot bear to see you die. Go to the manor outside the capital and spend your remaining years in peace."

Xu Pozi was the dowry of Princess Zhennan. She kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Princess, for sparing this old slave's life.

From now on, I will no longer be able to serve you. You must take good care of yourself.

The two daughters of the second concubine are not as simple as they seem on the surface. They are both scheming.

If they knew that Second Aunt was dead, they would definitely hold a grudge against you. Don't trust them too much.

Although Third Auntie may appear kindhearted, she is not a pushover. You should be wary of them as well."

Princess Zhennan took a gold hairpin from her jewelry collection and gave it to Granny Xu, feeling mixed emotions. "You've served me for so long, so take this hairpin and think of it as a token of your appreciation."

Mrs. Xu took the hairpin, kowtowed three times to the princess, and said, "Thank you, princess. Take care!"

She stood up, wiped her tears and walked out.

The princess was also a little reluctant. These people had been around for more than 20 years and she was used to them.

But there was no way out. If Mrs. Xu didn't leave, she would die.

…………

Prince Zhennan was angry and furious, and eventually became depressed and bedridden.

Several imperial physicians came over to examine him, and each shook their heads: "Your Highness, this is a heart disease. Forgive my limited medical skills and my inability to treat you. Let's find another expert."

…………

Ye Qingyan was busy in and out of the clinic every day. Everything was ready and they were ready to open the next day.

She also bought a two-story courtyard not far from Baicaotang.

The courtyard had been cleaned up, and at night, Feng Yihua Ling'er and the others all returned to the courtyard to live.

Ye Qingyan sat in the lobby and asked, "Manager Zhou, do you have anyone here who specializes in playing drums and gongs, or lion dancing?"

Shopkeeper Zhou thought for a moment and said, "Yes, some people invite them when they have weddings."

"Tomorrow morning, have them meet at the door."

Shopkeeper Zhou looked confused: "Master, is anyone getting married?"

Ye Qingyan narrowed her eyes slightly, flashing with wisdom, and said in a gentle voice: "You will know when the time comes!"

The next morning, Fengjiu was holding a loudspeaker, followed by a group of people in red, beating drums and gongs on the streets of the capital.

Feng Yi held up a sign that read, "Baicaotang Grand Opening Promotion. For the first three days, the first thirty patients each day will receive a free consultation. Difficult and complicated illnesses will be treated personally by the Ghost Doctor."

At the end of the day, most people knew that a new clinic called Baicaotang had opened in the capital.

Those who are sick will think about lining up early tomorrow so that the first thirty people can avoid paying the consultation fee.

This move also aroused the jealousy of his peers.

The next morning, a long line formed in front of Baicaotang's door.

Seeing that the auspicious time had arrived, Ye Qingyan ordered the waiter to light firecrackers to mark the opening of the business.

Opposite Baicaotang, there is a teahouse.

In a private room on the second floor, the window was open and two people were sitting inside, observing what was happening in Baicaotang.

One person said, "Fourth Prince, this is a small clinic.

A young girl opened a clinic without knowing her place in the world. You don't need to worry about it."

The most popular pharmacy in the capital is Tongjitang, whose owner is the Fourth Prince Leng Jinhong. The pharmacy is usually managed by Manager Gu.

The Fourth Prince's eyes were gray, and his voice was filled with anger: "Let me see how many people come to see the doctor on the fourth day."

Shopkeeper Gu thought for a moment and replied, “They won’t be able to hold on for more than a few days.

"Our Tongjitang has been in the capital for over a decade and is a household name with a very good reputation. How can Baicaotang compare to us? Your Highness, you can rest assured."

"This prince will wait and see. If they take away our business, you will make it impossible for them to survive."

Shopkeeper Gu nodded.

…………

There is a row of shelves in the lobby of Baicaotang, on which are placed medicines such as scar removal cream, Jiuxian Yulu beauty water, and Jiuxin pills.

In the lobby, Doctor Chen and Doctor Zhong were very busy.

They had never seen so many patients in a day before. Although they were tired, they were very excited.

Feng Yi shouted at the door: "Next!"

When two doctors couldn't treat an illness, Fengjiu would shout, "Ghost doctor, please come in!"

Hua Ling'er took the patient upstairs...
