Ye Yibai stood up with a look of disgust on his face: "Let's go? Let everyone see you coming in and out of here? Just stay there and leave from behind after the guests have finished leaving."
The emperor immediately agreed with all his heart. Hua Yanxi only thought it was weird with that look in his eyes. How could he have a flattering feeling?
Then, she looked at Ye Yibai again. Although he couldn't see his expression clearly due to his mask, his words and the way he spoke did not look like a fool at all.
In other words, he is not a fool at all.
Because of this understanding, there were fewer doubts about why the emperor was so cautious about an unpopular son.
"Yan Yan, let's go. I'm hungry and haven't even eaten a few bites." Ye Yibai reached out and took Hua Yanxi's hand, and Hua Yanxi subconsciously broke away.
"You go first, I still have something to talk to my father."
Ye Yibai pouted: "What's there to say to him?"
Hua Yanxi suppressed her emotions and coaxed: "You are the master today, and it is your responsibility to take care of the guests. Didn't you say that you are a person who has the courage to take responsibility?"
Ye Yibai looked at the emperor, then at Hua Yanxi, and said, "Hurry up, I'll leave something delicious for you."
"good."
Ye Yibai walked out the door, turning back three times with each step. It seemed as if what separated them was not the front yard and the back yard, but two countries.
Hua Yanxi sighed in her heart. If this was all fake, it could only mean that Ye Yibai's acting skills were too good.
There were only three people left in the room. The emperor sat down anxiously and stroked his chest: "Xiao Wu should be relieved, right? I didn't expect that he had such good eyesight that he recognized me at a glance. We are indeed father and son, we are related by blood."
"
Not ashamed, but proud of himself.
"Father, do you need to find a doctor for you?"
"No, no, no, I'm in good health, Xiao Wu is sensible, and the pond isn't deep either." The emperor waved his hand.
"If he has the sense to push you into the pond?" Hua Yanxi blurted out.
The emperor glanced at him: "What do you know? This is a matter between me and Xiao Wu."
"Yes, then you have a good rest. My daughter-in-law will ask someone to arrange a new meal for you, so I will leave now." After Hua Yanxi finished speaking, she motioned with her eyes to Ye Juechen, who was standing aside and acting as a backdrop.
The two of them went out and arrived in the yard.
Hua Yanxi stared at Ye Juechen: "You're not surprised at all. Did you know this would be like this?"
Ye Juechen shrugged: "Isn't this bad? Neither you nor I will be blamed by our father."
"But Xiaobai is just an unpopular prince." Hua Yanxi said.
"If you are not favored, then what is it like to be favored? The power is overwhelming, and everyone wants to fawn over you when they see it. You are always by your side. Is this what you understand to be favored?" Ye Juechen smiled mockingly to himself.
"I still can't understand my father's attitude. He is very tolerant towards Xiaobai."
"Tolerance? You want to say indulgence," Ye Juechen said with a smile.
Hua Yanxi nodded, which was very appropriate, but it didn't make sense.
A stupid and disfigured prince, who had been away from the court since childhood and was bullied by others, how could he let go if he was really loved?
Moreover, Xiaobai himself said that his mother and concubine were not favored in the palace.
Ye Juechen was of noble birth, his mother-in-law was the emperor's favorite concubine, his family background was noble, he was talented in literature and military skills, and he was among the six tribes, so he was the chosen one.
Ye Juechen saw the meaning in Hua Yanxi's eyes and said with a smile: "Some favors are not true favors, but just superficial. Some indifferences are not indifference, but just to deceive others."
Hua Yanxi frowned: "In order to protect Xiaobai, he deliberately used you as a shield?"
"Hua Yanxi, you really don't know how to chat." Ye Juechen rolled his eyes at her.
Although it is true, it is very heart-wrenching to say it so pointedly.
"Then, aren't you angry?" You know clearly that everything is just an illusion.
"Angry, what am I angry about? Now it's me who is praised by many people, who is entrusted with important responsibilities, and who gets actual benefits. Why should I be angry? What did he get in vain? It's just a man who can
It’s just that I don’t give the king decent privileges anytime, anywhere. How would you choose if it were you?”
Hua Yanxi didn't know if he meant what he said, so she could only say: "As long as you are happy."
Ye Juechen rolled his eyes at him: "Don't be complacent. Although my father indulges him, it only represents him. If you want to commit suicide, no one will be able to save you."
Hua Yanxi raised her eyebrows. Was this a warning to her not to cause trouble based on the emperor's special feelings for Ye Yibai?
She didn't think so. Even if he was really tolerant and tolerant to Xiaobai, she didn't intend to do anything. The king's heart is like the sea. Who knows what twists and turns there are behind this.
After that, Ye Juechen accompanied the emperor, and Hua Yanxi went to the front yard. However, before they reached the guest hall, they saw a guard hurriedly coming to report that Ye Yibai had fallen into the water.
It's not a pond, but an artificial lake in the courtyard, which is more than twice as big as that pond.
Hua Yanxi heard this and asked hurriedly: "How are you doing now?"
"I fell in and hit a stone on the bottom of the water with my forehead. I fainted on the spot. The imperial doctor has already passed away."
Hua Yanxi rushed to the room and asked, "How did he fall into the water?"
"Today is the master's birthday. The guests were very enthusiastic and wanted to toast him, but some members of the Yang family drank for him. Later, they asked the master to give him tea instead of wine, but I don't know who drank it under his quilt.
It was mixed with wine. The master felt unwell and planned to go back to his room to rest alone. He accidentally fell in while passing by the water."
When Hua Yanxi arrived, Doctor Hu had already checked Ye Yibai's pulse. When he saw her coming in, he bowed respectfully.
"Doctor Hu, how is my husband doing?"
"The fifth prince's forehead is fine, but his constitution is really not suitable for drinking. Because he fell into the water and drank alcohol, he will have a high fever. The old minister is planning to write him a prescription to get rid of the cold. What do the fifth princes think?"
Dr. Hu did not dare to show off his skills in front of Hua Yanxi and was very respectful.
Hua Yanxi nodded: "Then I'll trouble Dr. Hu."
However, when Dr. Hu wrote the prescription and asked him to cook the medicine and then left, Hua Yanxi sat by the bed to diagnose him.
It's definitely heating up.
She took out an antibiotic injection from the space and gave him an injection. She also ordered people to get water to wipe his body, and prepared to take medicine to cool down while physically cooling him down.
Just after wiping his upper body, Ye Yibai woke up. Looking at Hua Yanxi, mist suddenly rose in his eyes. He struggled to get up, leaning on Hua Yanxi's body as if he was boneless, and kept stroking in her arms.
Rubbing the ground lightly, her tone was gentle and soft: "Yanyan, Yanyan, I feel so uncomfortable."
Ye Yibai's forehead was hot and his whole body was burning.
"You didn't even smell that the tea was mixed with wine?" Hua Yanxi asked angrily.
"They're evil. They all came over with wine glasses. My nose felt really uncomfortable, so I didn't pay that much attention." Ye Yibai's eyes were blurred and he was dazed, and the mask was pressed against Hua Yanxi's face.
"Really, I thought you did it on purpose." Hua Yanxi smiled half-heartedly.
