Zhao Tianji agreed to Ye Zhen's request. If she could cure his illness, he would let them go. However, he still put Huang Fuchen under house arrest and allowed Ye Zhen to meet him once a day. As for Dai Mei and Quan Fu, they stayed in the villa to serve as servants. ()
Huang Fuchen was placed under house arrest in a garden-like courtyard, somewhat similar to the bamboo forest in Shiliwu. There was a purple bamboo forest in the courtyard, and the environment was elegant. If he was not under house arrest, it would be very comfortable to live here.
"Master, who is that man?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice. She could only see Huang Fuchen once a day and had to stay by Zhao Tianji's side the rest of the time. She still had a lot of doubts about the overly effeminate and cruel man.
"When I met him a few years ago, he was still an island owner who ran a sanitation business on the sea," Huang Fuchen whispered. Huangfu Chen said in a low voice, "He's temperamental. You have to be careful around him. Don't anger him."
"Island owner? Then why did he come here to open a private mine? And … this villa doesn't look like it was built in the past few years. " Such a large villa couldn't have been built in five years, and the iron mine in the deep mountains seemed to have been built for a long time.
Huang Fuchen gently put his finger on his lips, motioning Ye Zhen not to continue asking. "Zhao Tianji is not only an island owner, but also a pirate. The iron mine may not necessarily be his. What? "
"Master, it's only two days from here to the capital. Why didn't the imperial court find this iron mine?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.
"Before Ah Zhan ascended the throne, the people of Jin Kingdom were almost destitute. How could the imperial court notice the iron mine in the deep mountains? Maybe even if someone in the imperial court found out, Zhao Tianji would make them unable to say anything." Huang Fuchen was also very surprised. He remembered that Zhao Tianji's previous island also had iron mines. If he just wanted to do a private mine business, there was no need for him to take the risk to come to Jin Kingdom. Moreover, this place was not far from the capital.
Ye Zhen thought of her uncle. Maybe Ye Yisong had been bribed? "Master, what should we do now?"
"We can't leave on our own now. Let's stay here first and think of a way." Huang Fuchen whispered.
"What's wrong with that Zhao Tianji?" Although Ye Zhen wanted to know the secrets of the iron mine and the mountain villa, she knew very well that it was impossible to find out in one day. It was better to take it slow and then find a way to leave here.
Huangfu Chen shook his head gently. "When I met him in the past, he only felt dizzy occasionally. I treated him for half a year. Although his condition improved, it wasn't completely cured. I didn't expect that after a few years, he could no longer walk. ♀ "
Ye Zhen glanced at him. In fact, she also wanted to ask who Mu Qing was, but when her master heard the name, he didn't seem to be in a good mood.
"Zhao Tianji might not be the only owner of the iron mine and the villa. You have to be careful around him." Huang Fuchen touched Ye Zhen's head. He now regretted bringing her out. If she hadn't left the capital, she wouldn't have encountered such danger.
"Master, don't worry about me, I will be careful." Ye Zhen said softly.
Huang Fuchen looked at the man in black who was guarding outside. "Go. Zhao Tianji is not a patient person. If there's anything you don't understand about his illness, you can come to me."
"He seems to be afraid of you." Ye Zhen asked. Otherwise, he wouldn't have put Huang Fuchen under house arrest and only let her treat him.
"Because Zhao Tianji can't kill me and is afraid that I will leave, he can only put me under house arrest." Huang Fuchen said.
Ye Zhen was stunned. When she wanted to ask Zhao Tianji again why he didn't dare to kill her, a young man came outside. "Miss Lu, our master asks you to come over."
Huang Fuchen looked down at Ye Zhen. "Go, be careful."
"Well, Master, you should be careful too." Ye Zhen said softly. She could roughly guess what Zhao Tianji's illness was. She had read in the Qi Family Medical Records that his illness was incurable. Even if she had the Spirit Spring Water, she was not very sure. Her master didn't know what illness it was a few years ago because the disease was not obvious at that time. However, she still had to see Zhao Tianji to know the specifics.
Ye Zhen was taken back to the Peach Blossom Land by the young man.
"You will live here from now on. The master's main house is next to it." The young man said faintly to Ye Zhen.
She lived in the side room. It seemed that Zhao Tianji did not treat her as a doctor, but as a servant. "When can your master let me see him?"
"You will naturally know when the master will see you." The young man didn't even look at Ye Zhen. He didn't seem to put her beautiful appearance in his eyes at all.
"Okay, I'll trouble you." Ye Zhen thanked him with a smile. At least she was still useful to Zhao Tianji now, and there should be no danger for the time being.
In this way, Ye Zhen lived in the Peach Blossom Land, but she didn't see Zhao Tianji again. For three days in a row, except for going to Huang Fuchen for half an hour every day, she spent the rest of her time reading in the house. Except for the young man, she didn't even see a maid.
In this situation, Huang Fuchen just told her not to worry, that Zhao Tianji would come out sooner or later.
In these three days, Ye Zhen still knew little about Zhao Tianji's life experience. Even if she wanted to ask Huang Fuchen, he didn't tell her much.
On the fourth day, the young man named Liang Yin took her to see Zhao Tianji.
Zhao Tianji's complexion was worse than a few days ago. He leaned against the bed and looked at Ye Zhen who came in from the door.
Qiu Yuan stood beside him. When he saw Ye Zhen come in, he immediately said in a cold voice, "If you can't cure our master's illness, you will die without a burial place today."
Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows and looked at him. Qiu Yuan was a relatively calm person in her opinion, but today he was so impulsive. It seemed that Zhao Tianji's illness was very dangerous. She smiled faintly, walked in front of Zhao Tianji, and pulled his hand.
"What are you going to do?" Qiu Yuan and Liang Yin looked at Ye Zhen warily.
"It seems that your hand has no strength today, otherwise you wouldn't have thought of me." Ye Zhen tilted her head and looked at the cold face of Zhao Tianji with a smile.
Zhao Tianji looked at her coldly. "What do you want to say?"
"I think your illness … No one in the world can cure you." Ye Zhen gently put back his hand. "You have to be careful with your illness. Otherwise, if you are not careful, you may not be able to move your whole body."
"If my illness can't be cured, you will die too." Zhao Tianji looked at Ye Zhen with gloomy eyes.
Ye Zhen smiled. "I can't guarantee that I can cure you, but you have to promise to let us leave safely after a month."
