Chapter 241 I Want to Get Married
Ye Wenyan smiled faintly and shook her head, "I don't have much knowledge. I only ask about the family home, not the government. Since the Prime Minister asked this, I dared to say a few words, but I dare not say anything more."
"No problem." The Right Prime Minister waved his hand. "Since the day the late emperor passed away, Fourth Miss has already stepped into this situation. She has said everything she should and shouldn't have said, and done everything she should and shouldn't have done. This time is not a big deal. I have to remind Fourth Miss that the Li family will not be able to swallow this, and the Regent will not give up power. I'm afraid you will encounter a lot of trouble in the future, and every trouble will be directed at you. Fourth Miss, you must be mentally prepared."
Ye Wenyan stopped and saluted the right prime minister, "Thank you for your reminder, Prime Minister. Please rest assured, I have never been short of trouble. Not to mention the Li family and the regent, even the Sixth Prince will not let me go. There are too many lice, and I am not afraid of bites. My grandfather is a powerful military, so how can he be afraid of those little soldiers? I will just fight them when they come."
"When an enemy comes, the general will fight back? Great! Very good!" The Right Prime Minister laughed again. When an enemy comes, the general will fight back. The Ye family is the general, so they can certainly fight back. He did not continue the previous topic, but raised his hand and pointed to the side of the road, "Miss Fourth, do you still remember this clinic?"
Ye Wenyan turned around and saw that it was the Li family's clinic.
However, this clinic now belongs to her, and the door is currently closed with a government seal on it.
There was an official guarding here. When he saw her, he immediately came forward to greet her and asked, "Does the Fourth Miss want to come in? Lord Chi said that the seal of this clinic can only be opened when the Fourth Miss comes."
Ye Wenyan shook his head and told the official: "Seal it for now. I haven't figured out what to do with it yet."
After hearing this, the Right Prime Minister asked, "The clinic is now your business after it was given to the Fourth Young Miss. As far as I know, nothing in the clinic has been moved. The Li family compensated the Fourth Young Miss with the medicinal materials and silver in stock. As long as the door is unsealed and a new plaque is hung, the clinic can be reopened immediately."
"But I don't plan to open a clinic, so this place won't be of much use to me."
"Oh?" The Right Prime Minister was puzzled, "Why don't you plan to open a clinic?"
"Because I'm not a doctor!"
"But you have the skill of a miracle doctor!"
"That doesn't mean I have to do this." Ye Wenyan told You Xiang, "You don't have to do everything you know. In addition to medical skills, I also know martial arts. Do I have to open another martial arts school? Besides, I have no obligation to do this. My knowledge of medical skills is my own business. There is no rule that says I have to share it with others."
The Right Prime Minister understood, "Is the Fourth Miss still angry with the wives of officials in the inner city?"
She shook her head. "There's nothing to be angry about. I just don't want to do this." "Then what is your ambition?"
"My ambition is to get married, have children, and do what a girl should do. This is the common ambition of all women in the world, and I don't want to be an exception. Don't you agree, sir?"
The Right Prime Minister had nothing to say. He couldn't let her show up in public all the time, regardless of getting married. Although it was a pity to waste such a good medical skill, Ye Wenyan didn't want to, and no one could force her to do this.
The two walked forward in silence, without saying anything else, until they reached the gate of the government office. Ye Wenyan suddenly stopped and asked an official at the gate: "Is the prefect in the government office?"
The officer immediately replied, "My lord, you just came back and went in a moment ago."
She smiled at the Right Prime Minister and said, "Uncle Right Prime Minister, I have to go in and talk to Master Chi, so I won't accompany you. Thank you for talking to me today and for reminding me. I will remember it and take it to heart."
The Right Prime Minister nodded. He felt very comfortable being called "Uncle Right Prime Minister". "Go ahead! I still need to walk around the streets. If I can help you someday, don't hesitate."
Ye Wenyan bowed deeply again and watched the Right Prime Minister leave before turning around and walking into the government office.
The right prime minister's surname is Song, and his name is Song Tianyun. He became the top scorer in the imperial examination at the age of nineteen, and became a first-rank official at the age of thirty. Up to now, he has been the prime minister for fifteen years.
Everyone in the court knew that the left and right prime ministers were competing against each other. The left prime minister was determined to protect the emperor's power, while the right prime minister was more concerned about people's livelihood. The two often argued in the court because of their different opinions. This was a division, but also a kind of restraint between them.
The court does not want one party's opinion, so both the previous emperor and the new emperor are willing to see this situation.
The attendant followed the Right Prime Minister all the way, and when he saw that they were far away from the government gate, he asked in a low voice: "Why does the Lord like the Fourth Miss Ye so much?"
The Right Prime Minister did not answer immediately. It was only after they had walked across the street that they heard him say, "Because few people can force the Li family to that extent, and no one has ever made the Queen Mother Li and the Regent swallow their anger."
"Did they really swallow it? Didn't you just say that the Li family couldn't swallow it?"
"Whether you can swallow it or not is a matter for the future. At least for now, no one, whether it is the Li family, the Queen Mother Xigong, the Regent, or even the Sixth Prince, dares to turn against the Fourth Miss Ye immediately."
The attendant didn't understand, "Why is Fourth Miss Ye so powerful? What is the Queen Mother afraid of?"
The Right Prime Minister shook his head, "I don't know, but at least the people's hearts in the outer city are in her hands. As for the inner city, she actually handed over the credit to the emperor. It can be seen that the current Ye family... no, it is the fourth Miss Ye, she must be on the side of the emperor."
"Does your Excellency think this is a good thing or a bad thing?"
"It's not bad, at least not at the moment. But I don't know how long Fourth Miss Ye can last in this whirlpool. Will she be able to ride the wind and waves, or will she be washed ashore after a few rounds?" It was almost noon when Ye Feizhou returned to the inner city.
At this time, Prince Su was not seen in his villa. A servant brought lunch into Ye Hongzhuang's room, put it on the table and left. It didn't sound like he was visiting Prince Su's wife at all, but rather like he was visiting a prisoner.
Ye Feizhou brought a string of beads to Ye Hongzhuang and told her, "The person has been taken to a farm outside the city. My people are watching over there. It's foolproof. This was taken from her. Check to see if there's anything wrong."
Ye Hongzhuang took the string of beads in her hand, looked at it for a while, and snorted coldly, "How would I know if there is any problem? I don't know what she has on her. It's useless for you to show me this."
Ye Feizhou frowned and said, "The person serving beside her is my mother's dowry nanny, whose surname is Han."
Ye Hongzhuang then nodded and said, "That's right." That was all she said, and nothing else.
In fact, when Ye Feizhou mentioned this Nanny Han, he also emphasized that she was Xiao's dowry nanny, intending to let Ye Hongzhuang explain why she wanted to take away the person who was protected by her mother. But Ye Hongzhuang did not react to this. She was silent for a while and then said to him: "You must keep an eye on the baby in her belly. No matter whether it is a boy or a girl, you must ensure a smooth delivery."
"What about what you promised me?" He no longer wanted to pay attention to anything else and was only focused on finding out the evidence of the so-called rebellion of the Third Prince.
Ye Hongzhuang rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't worry, since we agreed on an exchange, I won't default on it. Listen, when Northern Qi and Guiyue Kingdom exchanged hostages, the late emperor originally wanted to send the Third Prince away."
Ye Feizhou's heart skipped a beat as soon as the words started to ring. Although he knew that the person who was sent away in the end was not Quan Qingyun, he still couldn't help feeling nervous.
The exchange of hostons took place more than nine years ago. At that time, he was nine years old and had already become an apprentice and was training in martial arts outside. He never returned to Beijing during the period.
But Quan Qingyun would visit him, sometimes once a year, sometimes twice, sometimes three or four times. But he never heard him mention anything about the hostage, and he even thought that Quan Qingyun had always been smooth sailing in the court, and had a rich family and a great business outside the court.
Ye Hongzhuang glanced at his reaction and laughed contemptuously, but continued, "Because Queen Li at the time felt that the Third Prince was too aggressive and would threaten her son's future throne, she played one game after another, each game making the late emperor more disgusted with the third son. Queen Mother Li took this opportunity to propose sending the Third Prince away, and the late emperor had no doubts."
When she said this, she raised her eyes and looked at Ye Feizhou, "But do you know what the Third Prince was thinking at that time?" After asking, she did not wait for Ye Feizhou to answer, and continued, "He said he couldn't leave, because if he left, no one would take care of you. Once no one protects you, you might die at the hands of your own family. So he devised a plan to frame the Fourth Prince's biological mother, causing her to fall out of favor, and making the late emperor so angry that he took his anger out on his son and directly sent the fourth son to Guiyue."
Ye Hongzhuang picked up her chopsticks and started to eat lunch. "None of us participated in what happened back then. I heard these words in the Prince Su's villa, so they are very credible. The Fourth Prince has been investigating the truth of the past over the years. It is said that he has already figured it out. This time he came back to seek revenge on the Third Prince. Quan Qinglu got the news not long ago that the Fourth Prince had intercepted three secret letters. They were the correspondence between the Third Prince and a general of Guiyue Kingdom five years ago. It mentioned that if the throne of Northern Qi falls into the hands of others in the future, Guiyue Kingdom can lend troops to the Third Prince to help him ascend the throne."
Ye Feizhou broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this. He had no idea about these things, but he knew that Quan Qingyun was indeed friends with a general of the Guiyue Kingdom.
At that time, he was practicing martial arts away from home. One time, Quan Qingyun went to see him. He asked him where he was from. Quan Qingyun said that he came from Guiyue to visit an old friend and came to see you on the way.
But now that the throne has been taken, and Quan Qingyun has not joined forces with Guiyue to launch an invasion, do these old events still count?
Ye Hongzhuang guessed his thoughts: "Do you think those letters are useless? Because the Third Prince did not carry out the general's proposal? My dear second brother, don't you think about it? Even if he didn't seize the throne, his agreement with General Guiyue is still there. What if he regrets it one day in the future? How big a threat will it be to the current emperor?"
Ye Feizhou was panicked...
