PFC Chapter 125 Suffering Along With Them
Chapter 125 Suffering Along With Them
Seeing that she couldn't get much useful information from Chun'er, Madam Su became very anxious.
But Ye Qingzhu was, after all, her own daughter, and seeing her in such pain, Su felt terrible.
"Qingzhu, listen to your mother and tell her where that stone is."
Left with no other choice, Madam Su could only speak to Ye Qingzhu again, and after saying this, she looked at Ye Qingwu again, "Qing..."
Seeing Zhan Sijing walking towards them, Madam Su changed her tune again and asked Ye Qingwu, "Your Highness, if Qingzhu reveals the whereabouts of the stone, will you be able to restore her?"
"That depends on her."
Ye Qingzhu glared at Ye Qingwu with hatred. She knew that Ye Qingwu was behind all of this, but she was powerless to do anything about it. If this continued, she would die from the pain.
"In the lotus pond!" Ye Qingzhu shouted, unable to bear it any longer. "The stone is in the lotus pond."
Strangely enough, the moment Ye Qingzhu revealed the whereabouts of the item, all the pain in her body vanished instantly.
"Lotus Pond..."
Ye Qingwu narrowed her eyes slightly; that place was indeed a good hiding spot.
"Please lead the way, Your Excellency."
Ye Xuan was stunned by these bizarre events. After hearing Ye Qingwu's words, he did not refute them and led them to the lotus pond.
"She's coming too."
Seeing that Madam Su was about to have someone help Ye Qingzhu away, Ye Qingwu suddenly spoke up.
Ye Qingzhu clenched her fists, almost gritting her teeth as she said, "Ye Qingwu, don't push your luck!"
Seeing that the situation was not right, Madam Su quickly said, "Your Highness, Qingzhu is currently very weak. Could you please let her go back and rest first?"
"Master, Qingzhu can't withstand any more damage."
Su winked at Ye Xuan, hoping he could come up with a solution to the matter.
Ye Xuan frowned, about to speak, when Ye Qingwu said unhurriedly, "Your Excellency, Ye Qingzhu is the instigator of this incident. If you want Ye Yuanfeng's condition to improve, you must do as I say."
"Of course, if you want things to continue, I don't mind."
Ye Xuan listened to Ye Qingwu's nonchalant words, feeling both angry and helpless. From what had just happened, he was basically certain that Ye Qingwu did indeed have some ability.
Especially those black wisps; if he hadn't seen them with his own eyes, he would never have believed it, but now…
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan ordered, "Your Highness, Qingzhu, you follow too!"
Ye Qingzhu, who was slowly getting up, trembled all over, and even Su Shi opened her eyes wide, feeling incredulous.
The edge of the lotus pond.
"If the princess throws that stone in here, how will we find it?"
The steward following Ye Xuan asked, "You know, there are many stones in the lotus pond, and it's impossible to drain all the water."
"As I just said, whoever causes the problem should bear the consequences."
"Ye Qingzhu, if you pick up the stone now, both Ye Yuanfeng and you can enjoy a period of peace..."
Before Ye Qingwu could finish speaking, Ye Qingzhu's questioning voice rang out.
"Pick it up?"
"Ye Qingwu, are you out of your mind? Can you even count how many stones are in here? Besides, do you want me to jump down?"
“Father, Mother, I think Ye Qingwu is deliberately seeking revenge because of what happened before. You must not fall for her tricks.”
Madam Su was equally shocked by what Ye Qingwu said. After Ye Qingzhu finished speaking, she quickly echoed, "Master, I think Qingzhu is right. Think about it, if Qingwu is so capable, why does he have to go looking for a few stones?"
"Besides, she came here to treat Yuanfeng, but now she has caused everyone to be terrified. I'm afraid that the treatment is just a pretense, and that she is deliberately causing trouble for the Duke's mansion by taking advantage of His Highness the Regent's visit."
Because of Su's words, Ye Xuan's face darkened.
"Princess Regent, don't forget the purpose of your visit. If you cannot cure him, I will go to the palace now and report this to the Emperor!"
“Your Highness, Qingzhu is in no condition to jump into this lotus pond.”
With Ye Xuan's words as a precedent, Su felt more confident and spoke to Ye Qingwu.
"I am simply giving you a choice right now; whether or not you choose to do it is entirely up to you."
“If that’s the case…” Ye Qingwu looked in Zhan Sijing’s direction and said softly, “Your Highness, let’s go back to the manor.”
“Okay.” Zhan Sijing nodded, simply watching quietly as she did so without interfering.
"Your Highness, you left before you had even fully healed Yuanfeng?"
Seeing that Ye Qingwu was about to leave, Ye Xuan suddenly became anxious.
"Ye Yuanfeng will recover in three days. As for the special circumstances that may arise during these three days, Your Excellency should be prepared."
"What do you mean?"
Ye Xuan felt vaguely uneasy, sensing that the special circumstances Ye Qingwu mentioned were not as simple as they seemed.
Ye Qingwu chuckled, "What it means is up to the Duke to understand."
"However, the Duke just reminded me that the money for the treatment should be given to me by the Duke."
"what?!"
Ye Xuan and everyone present were stunned. "You still want silver?"
"Ye..." Ye Xuan was about to explode, but he could only restrain himself after meeting Zhan Sijing's cold gaze.
"Your Highness, don't forget that you came here on the Emperor's orders."
Ye Qingwu nodded, "But the Emperor didn't say we can't accept silver."
"Your Highness, Yuanfeng is still unconscious and cannot be considered cured."
“I have already explained the solution. The matter was started by Ye Qingzhu. This lotus pond is only so big. As long as she picks up the stone she threw out, Ye Yuanfeng will wake up immediately. If not, then we can only wait three days.”
"Does Aunt Su have any further questions about this?"
Upon hearing the word "concubine" from Ye Qingwu, Madam Su trembled with anger and had no mood to reply to Ye Qingwu.
That brat is clearly doing it on purpose!
Seeing Ye Xuan standing there unmoved, Ye Qingwu sighed softly, "Lord Duke, you're not trying to renege on your debt, are you?"
"He is, after all, a Duke of the State. If word gets out that he is defaulting on his debts, I wonder what outsiders will think."
"How much silver do you want?"
Ye Xuan tried to calm himself down. It was just silver; he could just think of it as him pitying Ye Qingwu.
"One thousand taels."
"What kind of treatment costs a thousand taels!"
Ye Xuan asked almost subconsciously, his expression becoming excited.
“Your Excellency, if I hadn’t come, Ye Yuanfeng would have been dead. It’s already worth it for just one thousand taels.”
"Could it be that Ye Yuanfeng's life is not worth a thousand taels to the Duke?"
You should know that her talismans are extremely rare and valuable; once that black energy spreads, the entire Duke's mansion will suffer as a result.
"Your Highness, do you also think the Princess Consort did the right thing?"
Having no other recourse against Ye Qingwu, Ye Xuan could only ask Zhan Sijing for help.
