Reborn, I was pursued by the Prince of the Broken Sleeves

Half an hour after the Duke's birthday banquet began, the guests started to emerge one after another.

Immediately afterwards, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review and the Prefect of the Capital Prefecture arrived in a hurry with soldiers, and then took away several women who were wailing and howling.

Within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, news spread throughout the capital that the red coral presented as a birthday gift at the banquet was poisoned, and that Concubine Liu and her illegitimate daughter Su Jiaojiao had behaved inappropriately and spoken offensively, causing Old Madam Zhou to fall ill and be in critical condition.

The Duke's Mansion, a century-old institution, held a prestigious position and had been passed down through three generations.

When it came to the old Duke, it was the last generation of hereditary title.

The old Duke was naturally leisurely. As he grew older, he spent his days traveling, seeking immortality, and indifferent to worldly affairs.

Just as the Duke's mansion was about to decline, Zhou Zhenghong, the eldest son of the Duke's mansion, participated in the imperial examination as an ordinary student and won first place.

He served in the government for many years, climbing the ranks and gaining the emperor's favor, eventually securing his position as Minister of Personnel.

The Duke's mansion, which had been teetering on the brink of collapse, once again gained a foothold in the capital.

This Minister of Personnel is ruthless, but he is also a famously filial son. Now, someone has actually sabotaged his mother's birthday banquet and is trying to murder her.

I really don't want to die peacefully.

Once the news spread, everyone was on edge and began to speculate about who was behind it all!

Inside the Duke's mansion, the crowd dispersed.

Standing under the peach tree in the courtyard, Ye Mo couldn't help but turn around, his gaze naturally falling on Xiao Yi, who was lost in thought not far away.

In my mind, I recalled the fleeting glimpse she gave me before she left, her eyes filled with longing and reluctance.

The person she looked at as she left was not him, but Xiao Yi.

A strange sour feeling welled up in his heart. His face darkened, and he turned around and strode out.

Zhou Zhenghong stopped him and bowed respectfully: "Your Highness, do you know the Jade-Faced Immortal Lord?"

Ye Mo didn't answer.

The Jade-Faced Immortal Lord was another identity that girl had when she traveled the world.

Others may not know, but he knows.

After they met in the capital, he ordered his secret guards to thoroughly investigate her whereabouts over the years.

The only thing she missed was that she actually knew Xiao Yi.

"The Jade-Faced Immortal Lord is elusive and unpredictable. Your Excellency can send someone to search for him yourself."

He felt annoyed at the thought of her making decisions on her own.

She wanted to get involved and stir things up.

She was aware of the danger involved.

"My lord, if you have any news about the Jade-Faced Immortal, please let me know. I would like to get to know him as well."

Wu Xiaowen stepped forward to strike up a conversation, adding, "If I see him, I will definitely try to... ask him for the blood stasis-removing pill."

He was halfway through his sentence when he remembered that the old lady was actually alright, and he couldn't bear to swallow his words, so he had to continue.

"Thank you!" Lord Zhou was about to cup his hands in thanks when Wu Xiaowen quickly stopped him, saying, "You're too kind, sir."

The polite formalities were merely empty words, and both of their faces twitched slightly.

After exchanging pleasantries about important matters, the group of men took their leave one after another.

Ye Mo walked ahead, his blue robes brushing against the green bamboo by the corridor. Listening to the laughter and conversation of his old friends reunited behind him, he suddenly stopped and turned around. "Mr. Xiao, you've come at the perfect time."

Xiao Yi flicked a strand of long hair from his forehead to the side and said casually, "Today, I just arrived in the capital and met Li Yuan on the way, so I asked him for a cup of birthday wine."

He answered truthfully, feeling inexplicably apprehensive.

After several years apart, this war god prince's emotions have become even more unpredictable.

"Is it still rainy in Jiangyang in June?" His gaze was fixed on the emerald green thumb ring on Xiao Yi's thumb.

Xiao Yi glanced at his ring unconsciously and smiled, "June in Jiangyang is the rainiest time. Fortunately, I stayed for two months before leaving early."

"During your two months in Jiangyang, did you become acquainted with that Miss Su?"

Beneath his robes, his well-defined fingers unconsciously clenched together.

"Who?" Xiao Yi looked puzzled, then suddenly remembered, "It's the girl who came out of the house, crying her eyes out?"

"You feel sorry for her when she cries?" The tone of the dignified Prince Qi suddenly turned icy, and his words were filled with oppressive power.

Xiao Yi stiffened, turned his head to look at Wu Xiaowen, then stiffly turned his head back. "Didn't you see?"

Wu Xiaowen shook his head vigorously, and finally, with his neck stiff, he said shamelessly, "I didn't move closer!"

Xiao Yi: "..."

it is good!very good!

With a stern face, he solemnly replied, "Your Highness, I have traveled through the Zhou Kingdom for several years and also wandered around the Daqian Kingdom for several years. Today is the first time I have met this Miss Su."

“She stayed in Jiangyang for six years and only returned to the capital three months ago.”

Ye Mo felt inexplicably irritated. "You don't remember him, but she must have seen you before and recognized you."

You heartless girl.

He and she spent more than half a year living and eating together in the psychedelic forest, yet she still hasn't recognized him.

He couldn't forget someone who had traveled to Jiangyang.

"This..." Feeling inexplicably turned against, Xiao Yi didn't know how to explain.

A bold idea popped into his head, and he blurted out, "Does Your Highness like Miss Su?"

"How dare you!" Ye Mo shouted abruptly, "Xiao Yi, how dare you presume to know my thoughts!"

Xiao Yi was so angry he laughed.

People in ancient times were so stubborn!

He comes from the modern era a thousand years in the future; he is a medical doctor and a surgical master.

One day, he died suddenly on the operating table. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in this era, having transmigrated into the body of a doctor in the military.

By chance, he met Wu Xiaowen and was recruited to become Ye Mo's advisor.

no way.

The survival rules of this world are money, power, connections, and background. If you don't have your own background, you need to rely on others to live better.

He seized the opportunity, but also took the opportunity to put forward his own conditions.

He appears when needed.

When he is not needed, he is a free man, traveling around and living the carefree life he desires.

A month ago, he received a letter asking him to return to Beijing.

He is back.

Unexpectedly, the moment this master saw him, he acted as if he had seen a rival in love, and targeted him for no reason.

This is completely baffling!

Xiao Yi always spoke bluntly: "Today, I also noticed that she seemed to have glanced at me a few more times."

"However, I am quite old, and such a look in my eyes is by no means the admiration of a woman for a man. Your Highness is overthinking it."

After being reminded by him, Ye Mo belatedly realized that Xiao Yi looked young, but was actually in his early thirties. At that age, how could any girl be interested in him?

His face was burning, and he awkwardly turned his head away, striding out of the Duke's mansion and into the carriage.

Outside the car window, Wu Xiaowen and Xiao Yi could be heard discussing something at a moderate pace.

Xiao Yi: "Your Highness has taken a liking to that Miss Su. Have you pursued her?"

Ye Mo: "..."?

He unconsciously pricked up his ears.

Wu Xiaowen gave an ambiguous answer: "His Highness asked Miss Su to treat his illness and also gave her a lot of money and herbs."

"It's only natural for patients to pay doctors. It's not about romantic feelings!"

Xiao Yi teased, then pressed on, "Does that young lady admire Your Highness?"

"She devoted herself to treating His Highness and worked tirelessly to improve his health," Wu Xiaowen answered truthfully.

"This is still the doctor-patient relationship. It can only be said that the young lady is a kind-hearted doctor. She accepts money to treat patients, and she probably does the same for every patient."

Xiao Yi felt utterly helpless. "Aside from the consultation fees, have the two of you ever exchanged any unique gifts?"

"Huh?" Wu Xiaowen was all alone and didn't quite understand. Recalling the rumors among the guards of the Prince's mansion, he couldn't help but say, "His Highness gave his own sash to Miss Su."

He continued, "Miss Su once gave His Highness the Flaming Water Chestnut Flower that saved his life, a bronze mirror that protected him, and precious pills to regulate his body..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi almost fell off his horse. "That young lady is truly sincere, but our prince... is a bit too worldly."

The carriage curtain was suddenly flung open, and Ye Mo, his face cold, commanded, "How are you going to pursue them? I want to see your strategy report tonight."
