Ignoring the crowd, Dongfang You snorted and walked outside. When she passed by Ye Ying, she stopped and said in a low voice, "You better behave yourself. Otherwise, that bitch will be your role model. "
Ye Ying was so scared that she took a few steps back and fell on the ground. Clenching her teeth and nodding in horror, Dongfang You curled her lips in disdain, "You're so useless. Are you really Ye Li's sister? Do you think Master Qingchen will like me? "
If Master Qingchen likes you, wouldn't he be blind and deaf?
But in front of Dongfang You, even if Ye Ying had ten times the courage, she would not dare to say that. She could only nod vigorously. Dongfang You ignored her and nodded in satisfaction. She turned and left.
Seeing Princess Xixia being carried out without any pity, Ye Ying felt weak all over and could not stand up at all. She had fought with Princess Xixia for more than ten years. She had thought that the woman she was jealous of was Ye Li and the woman she hated the most was Princess Xixia. But she did not expect that … the woman who had made her unhappy for ten years, would just … die like this?
"Help … help me back to my room …" Ye Ying said weakly, not daring to stay any longer. Behind her, a pair of steady hands helped her up. An ordinary-looking servant girl dressed in Prince Li's maid uniform carefully helped Ye Ying up and whispered in her ear, "Fourth Young Miss, don't be afraid. Dongfang You can't hurt you."
Ye Ying nodded, "Let's go back first …" Everything that had happened today had given Ye Ying too much shock. Not only because of Dongfang You's viciousness, but also because of Mo Jingli's heartlessness. If Mo Jingli could be so heartless to Princess Xixia, who had been doted on for ten years, then to her, who had long fallen out of favor … Ye Ying shivered and staggered back to her own courtyard with the help of the servant girl.
In a mass grave somewhere outside Nanjing, a badly mutilated corpse was wrapped in a straw mat and casually thrown into the graveyard. In the cold graveyard, there was only the occasional cawing of the crows, which seemed particularly eerie and terrifying.
After a long time, a black shadow appeared in the graveyard. He walked over to the corpse and squatted down to take a look. He checked the pulse and breathing of the badly mutilated corpse. He shook his head and praised, "Good technique." He raised his hand and stuffed a pill into her mouth. He didn't mind that she was bloody and dirty. He carried her and said lightly, "You're lucky to be alive. If you die, at least your corpse won't be exposed in the wilderness …" After the man finished speaking, he carried the corpse on his shoulder and swaggered away from the graveyard.
In a small courtyard in the city, the lanterns were lit. Ye Li sat under the lanterns and looked at the booklet in her hand. Wei Lin pushed open the door and entered. "Wang Fei."
Ye Li put down the booklet and nodded. "How are they?"
Wei Lin frowned and said, "Not good. Although the injuries on my body aren't fatal, it's still very dangerous. But since this morning, it seemed that she had a high fever. We can't find a doctor as good as Mr. Shen Yang and Doctor Lin in Nanjiang City. If the fever doesn't subside, I'm afraid she won't be able to live. "
Ye Li said indifferently, "Let's do our best and leave the rest to fate. Get someone to wipe her with strong wine and see if it can subside the fever. " Wei Lin nodded and said somewhat uncomprehendingly, "That woman isn't a good person either. Why does Wang Fei have to go to the trouble of saving her?"
Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "This time, she really suffered an undeserved calamity. Moreover, Princess Xixia is indeed annoying, but she doesn't deserve to die. Also … she is still the sister of the Queen of Nanzhao. If I wasn't in Nanjiang City, it would naturally be fine. But since I am here, I have to do my best for the sake of the Queen of Nanzhao. "
Wei Lin then understood and nodded. "This subordinate understands." No matter what, Wang Fei had saved Princess Xixia. The Queen of Nanzhao had to accept this favor.
"Has there been any movement in the Li Prince Manor?" Ye Li asked.
Wei Lin shook his head. "Not yet. The Li Prince's relationship with Dongfang You is very stiff. He doesn't allow Dongfang You to interfere in the manor's matters. In addition, our Prince Ding Mansion still has Infinite Boundless Mountain's spies. Dongfang You gave the list to Mo Jingli. However … Li Wang Fei may also know that when Mo Jingli looked at the list, she was standing next to Mo Jingli. It's just that I don't know if she saw it or not. These two days, she was so scared that she refused to speak. "
Ye Li nodded. "After all, she is a woman raised in the boudoir. Give her two days. Let the people below also check it as soon as possible. Ye Ying is not a professional spy. At that time, she may not have gone back to pay attention to the list. In addition, send a copy of the news to First Uncle and Xiu Yao. Let them pay attention to it. You can go. "
Wei Lin said, "This subordinate will take his leave."
Ye Li's action in Nanjiang City this time was not very low-key. She had a lot of things to do. If she was too secretive, it would easily arouse other people's suspicion. The Chu family was also a famous scholarly family in Da Chu State. Now that the young master of the Chu family came to Nanjiang City, it was inevitable that some people would come to visit. Ye Li pushed all of them to her subordinates to receive them. Others only thought that the young master of the scholarly family was arrogant and did not take it seriously. Most of the young masters of famous families always had some temper.
"Young master, Marquis Muyang's residence sent an invitation." At the door of the study, Zhuo Jing was holding an invitation and reported in a low voice.
Ye Li returned to her senses from her contemplation. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "What invitation?"
Zhuo Jing said, "In three days, Nanjiang City will hold an annual chrysanthemum appreciation party. Marquis Muyang's residence sent an invitation. " Ye Li smiled helplessly. "Decline it. How can I be in the mood to attend the chrysanthemum appreciation party?" Zhuo Jing whispered, "Yaoji sent the news that Helian Zhen had arrived in Nanjiang City last night. Mo Jingli and Helian Zhen may attend the chrysanthemum appreciation party in three days. That's why I wanted to ask young master if you want to go. "
Hearing this, Ye Li's eyes flashed with a trace of coldness. "Helian Zhen … in that case, let's go and have a look." Zhuo Jing nodded. "Yes, this subordinate will go and prepare immediately."
The weather in the south was warmer than the north, but at this time of year, only the chrysanthemum flowers were worth looking at. This chrysanthemum appreciation party could be said to be a big event in Nanjiang City at the end of autumn and the beginning of winter. In the city, whether it was the young masters or the young ladies of the boudoir, they all received invitations to attend. Even ordinary people could stroll around the city's flower market full of chrysanthemums and bring back two pots of chrysanthemums for the scenery.
Early in the morning, Ye Li brought the slightly disguised Wei Lin and Zhuo Jing to the scene of the chrysanthemum appreciation party. This was a large courtyard of the Li Palace in Nanjiang City. She took the invitation and went in. As soon as she entered the door, she saw all kinds of chrysanthemums competing with each other. This made the courtyard less bleak in autumn and more colorful and bustling.
What surprised Ye Li was that this chrysanthemum appreciation party was actually handed over to Ye Ying, and not Dongfang You who had been in charge of the Li Palace. Perhaps she was frightened by Dongfang You. It had been a few days, but Ye Ying's face was still not good. Dongfang You sat on one side with an indifferent expression, but he seemed to be absent-minded. All the ladies of Nanjiang City were obviously used to Dongfang You's appearance. No one went up to look for trouble. They just surrounded Ye Ying and greeted her.
