Chapter 8
At this moment, Ye Qianli had a very strong intuition that her body would not be able to hide anything under this thread of power. No wonder…
No wonder that guy left so quickly. He was waiting for her here. This so-called Doctor Jiang had an ability that she couldn’t understand.
Hence, the fact that she had actually relied on a man to cure her poison would probably be detected immediately! This kind of knowledge made Ye Qianli feel a sense of powerlessness like the idiom ‘the way of the Heaven is fair, but the guilty will not escape’.
“Hiss!”
However, right at this moment, when Ye Qianli was already at her wits’ end, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her right eye! Then… There was no ‘then’. Because under this piercing pain, she actually fainted completely and lost consciousness.
…
Two hours later, in the Western Palace…
“…” After hearing Doctor Jiang, Yan Nanfei, and Tian Yi’s report, Rong Mo fell silent. His silence caused the three people, who had finished reporting, to feel extremely nervous.
Especially Yan Nanfei who was adept at figuring out his master’s thoughts. He was certain that the crown prince was extremely unhappy!
However, this was also very understandable. No matter how much the crown prince didn’t like that young lady, she was still the cut and dried chosen crown princess consort. Being bullied like this really made people too angry.
What was worse was that, even though all the evidence pointed to that vicious Su Clan’s daughter, Princess Consort Ye actually protected her niece and killed all the servants in Clear Wind Palace!
That’s great. The crown prince was handling this matter, and someone actually dared to play a cheap trick. Yan Nanfei felt that this Princess Consort Ye was really a retard.
“Yan Nanfei, send Elder Jiang back to the Imperial Hospital.” Fortunately, the silence did not last long before Rong Mo spoke. As if he was granted amnesty, Yan Nanfei immediately felt relieved and quickly pulled Doctor Jiang away.
As for Tian Yi—who had allowed someone else to kill the servants in Clear Wind Palace when it was under his watch, Yan Nanfei expressed that he couldn’t help even if he wanted to. This punishment was inevitable.
Tian Yi himself knew this as well. Hence, after he reported the matter, he had been kneeling and waiting for his punishment. He did not have any quibble, even though he could not understand why a mother would let her own daughter suffer so much injustice just to protect a niece.
That poor biological daughter was still unconscious and did not know anything. She probably would not know the truth even after she woke up.
Unless…
“From now on, you will be stripped of your role as commander of the Celestial Cavalry. Go to the Southern Barracks. If you do not achieve a hundred thousand battle merits, you will not return,” Rong Mo said softly as he looked out of the window calmly.
Upon hearing that, Tian Yi’s expression changed several times. That was because in the Southern Barracks… Even he might not be able to return from there at any time, let alone build a hundred thousand battle merits.
“Thank you, Your Highness.” However, Tian Yi did not have a single word of complaint. As the commander of the Celestial Cavalry, he had indeed committed an unforgivable mistake today.
If it was a matter of the state, his negligence would not be enough to salvage the situation, even if he died a hundred times. It was already his greatest blessing that His Highness, the Crown Prince, did not execute him.
After Tian Yi removed his armor and left, Rong Mo was the only one left in the hall. He sat with his back facing the light, and the morning sun was about to shine into the place. It was so warm and gentle, but it could not disperse the coldness that lingered around him. It was an icy cold that seemed like it would not melt, even after ten thousand years.
After a moment, he suddenly stood up. He looked up at the Southern Palace, where Ye Qianli was, and then disappeared without a trace. No one knew where he went.
Ye Qianli, who was unconscious in the Southern Palace, had no idea that it was already two days later when she woke up.
“…”
The moment Ye Qianli woke up, she reached out to cover her left eye and used her right eye to look at the interesting and appealing ceiling in front of her. After confirming that her right eye was not blind, she heaved a sigh of relief.
However…
“What happened?”
Ye Qianli covered her left eye and then her right eye. After observation, she realized that her right eye was clearly seeing clearer than her left eye? Could it be that her right eye was not going blind—but the left was?
That was not it!
The clear-headed Ye Qianli was certain that the visual range of her right eye was much further than her left eye, as well as the clarity of her sight. It was especially obvious when she focused on using her right eye to look around.
Now that she was thinking about it—before she fainted, it seemed that it was the strange power that the doctor had dispersed into her body which had affected her right eye, causing her right eye to suddenly burst out with a strange power… and then hurt afterward?
“…”
Ye Qianli silently rubbed her right eye. She wanted to find out what was going on, but it was her first time encountering such a situation, too.
Even after searching through the original owner’s memories, she still did not understand what was going on. However, she was certain that the original body did not experience an occasion where the right eye could see clearer and further than the left eye.
Still, during this process, she clearly understood that her goddess body was truly crippled… Because she simply couldn’t gather profound energy; neither could she sense where her so-called elixir field was.
Given her condition, her meridians should be completely destroyed, right?
However, the silver lining was that she was not paralyzed.
“The price of sleeping with a handsome man is really quite high.” Ye Qianli, who was lying on the bed, sighed in her heart. At that time, she had no other way of curing the poison.
As for that thing about her grandfather giving her a medicinal pill that could cure all poisons? Of course, it was to deceive that crown prince, but wait! How could she still be lying in her own room in Clear Wind Palace?
Could it be…
“The power bursting from my right eye prevented the doctor from investigating the truth?” Ye Qianli rubbed her temples. She felt that there was too much information about this matter.
“Guards.” As she could not confirm the situation on the crown prince’s side, Ye Qianli wanted to find someone to ask, but the only response she received was silence. No one was acknowledging her?
Ye Qianli frowned slightly and got off the bed. She walked towards the entrance and opened the door. As expected, she saw two old maids guarding outside her room. There was indeed someone there.
“Two grannies, where’s Xiao Cui and the rest?” Ye Qianli asked calmly.
“…” The two old maids did not even look at her, let alone answer her question.
Ye Qianli waved her hand in front of the two of them, but there was no reaction from them. She felt that they were deaf and blind. However, when she was about to walk outside, she was stopped.
“Miss, you can’t go out,” one of the old maids said stiffly.
“Father’s orders?” Ye Qianli asked calmly.
Her calmness caused the granny, who had spoken, to glance at Ye Qianli from the corner of her eyes. Ye Qianli caught a hint of pity and contempt in the old maid’s eyes.
“Prince Ye and Princess Consort Ye have instructed that Young Lady has lost her mind and needs to recuperate in Clear Wind Palace,” the old grandma said coldly as though she was stating a fact.
Ye Qianli raised her brows slightly and asked, “How long do I have to recuperate quietly for? For the rest of my life?”
“I’m afraid so,” another old grandma suddenly mocked her. “As a useless person and someone who was despised by the crown prince, how can you still have the face to walk out? If I were you, I might as well end it by hanging myself, so that I don’t embarrass myself, and especially the Ye family’s face! The prince and the princess consort have all been embarrassed by you.”
