Jun Tao didn't respond. She knew that the old lady had a daughter. The daughter and the eldest master were twins, but unfortunately they died at birth. She was young and had never seen the daughter.
Ye Wenyan accompanied Mu and Ye Qingmei to the west courtyard. Ye Chulian followed them all the way. She was still following them even when they reached the west courtyard. Mu said to Ye Wenyan, "The fifth lady may have something to tell you. Go and see her!"
Ye Wenyan nodded, "Okay, then mother and elder sister go back first, I will come over to have lunch with you at noon."
Seeing Mu and Ye Qingmei leaving, Ye Chulian chased after them. She had something on her mind, but she didn't know how to start.
Ye Wenyan asked her, "Is it about the Emperor?"
Ye Chulian exclaimed, "How did Fourth Sister know?"
She smiled and said, "Tell me, what is your suggestion to the Emperor?"
Ye Chulian was a little embarrassed, but she had to talk about it, so she mumbled about the pills from the Li Family Clinic, and finally emphasized: "I didn't tell the emperor, I just thought about it in my heart. If Fourth Sister doesn't like it, we won't mention it."
Ye Wenyan asked her back: "Then what do you think? Do you want to help the emperor?"
Ye Chulian nodded, "I want to help him."
"For what purpose?"
Ye Chulian thought for a while and said, "I don't have any purpose! I just feel sorry for the little emperor. He told me a lot of things in the past, and I learned that he was forced to be the emperor without any preparation, so that he is not very good at being an emperor now. It is not easy for a person who is not good at being an emperor to encounter such a natural disaster." "What about you? Why do you help him for your own consideration?"
"Myself?" Ye Chulian said, "I haven't thought too much about it. I just feel that I've been quite useful recently. I'm no longer invisible like before, and I'm very happy. But this matter still needs the decision of Fourth Sister. I think I've thought about it, but I feel that it's not a good idea to do so. It's unfair to Fourth Sister, because the credit should be yours. In two days, the old illness of the people in the inner city will relapse. If Fourth Sister takes out the pills to save them, everyone will be grateful to you."
Ye Wenyan laughed, "What do I need those credits for?"
Ye Chulian said, "Actually, I don't know why Fourth Sister wants to be credited. Regarding this natural disaster, I really thought carefully about why Fourth Sister went out to help save people that day. It is said that no matter what people do, they have to gain something, just like me. Sister, I will tell you the truth. I followed you just to avoid dying at the hands of the Second Madam before I got married. I hope that you can see that I am really close to you and lend a hand when the Second Madam harms me. That stepmother has harmed me more than once since I was a child. I live in fear every day and I can't stand it any longer."
Ye Chulian's face turned pale as she talked about these things. "I am a concubine's daughter. I have the awareness of being a concubine's daughter. I know that my life is to pave the way for the legitimate daughter. I have to go wherever my family needs me to go. But isn't this a big funeral? It's impossible for me to get married in two or three years. So I want to understand life in two years and use these two years to live my whole life. Then, no matter what my family asks me to do in the future, I will have no regrets. This is my goal. You see, I have my own goals. Fourth sister saved those people and took care of those things. She must have her own goals, right?"
Ye Wenyan listened to these words and thought about it carefully for a while, but still shook his head, "There's really nothing to gain. I don't want the people to be grateful to me, I don't want the court to remember my merits, I don't want to be famous, and I don't want wealth, gold, silver and jewelry. If you must ask me why I took the initiative to stand up when the earth dragon turned over, it may be because I have a sense of responsibility! Our grandfather and my father have been fighting all their lives and have made great contributions to Northern Qi. More than half of the Northern Qi country was protected by them. Although they are no longer here, the spirit of the First-Rank General's Mansion is still there. As long as it is still called the First-Rank General's Mansion, we who are still alive cannot lose their face."
Ye Chulian was stunned. It took her a long time before she bowed to her fourth sister seriously. "Sister, you are so righteous. I am too petty."
Ye Wenyan shook his head, "You have done very well. Go, go back and have a good sleep, and get enough rest. I will send the new pills to the palace before dark, and tomorrow the emperor will personally distribute them to those who have recovered from their old illnesses. This is his achievement, and what he does next depends entirely on his own ability."
After Ye Chulian left, Ji Rong took over the task and went into the palace to inform Quan Qingcheng about the matter first.
Nanny Ji lamented that the Fourth Young Miss had the world in her heart and was a model of an emperor or empress. Zhuier lamented that the Fifth Young Miss was different from before, as if she had been reborn and looked full of life.
Ye Wenyan didn't say anything. She did care about the world, but it was not like what she said. She did it for the world that two generations of generals of the Ye family had conquered, and for not losing the face and spirit of the First-Rank General's Mansion.
She protected this world because this was what the Xuanmai Ye family had been doing for thousands of years in her previous life. This was the place protected by the Xuanmai Ye family, and this was the last place for the descendants of the five veins to survive. Since she was here, she had the responsibility to protect this continent and that sea, waiting for the day when the four seas would converge and the five veins would reunite, which would be the beginning of a new era and a true rebirth.
"Is the young lady going to use a lot of flowers again?" Zhuier already had a certain understanding of her young lady. Although she still didn't understand why she used flowers, she didn't want to analyze it so clearly. She only knew that the young lady wanted to use flowers, so as a maid, she had to find a way to find flowers for the young lady. But flowers were too difficult to find at the moment... "If it really doesn't work, use the ones grown on Yanhua Mountain!"
Ye Wenyan nodded. This was the only way. She had used up most of the flowers in the inner and outer cities these days. There were few flowers in this season, and the only flowers she could use were winter plums. It seemed that she could only go to Yanhua Mountain to get them.
"I'll go there tonight." She stopped and said to Zhuier, "In addition to flowers, we'll need a lot of pills. Go to Shi's house in the outer city right away and ask Jiduo to go with you. Tell them that I need pills and ask the Shi family to count the inventory to see how many you can gather. Just pay the silver and let the Shi family calculate the price."
Zhuier and Jiduo immediately obeyed the order and left in a hurry, leaving only Nanny Ji by her side.
Ye Wenyan pondered over something. "Just now I saw that the injuries of the second branch family seemed to have almost healed. Even the sword wound on the shoulder was not serious. Did Ji Duo give them medicine?"
Madam Ji shook her head, "No. This morning I asked Ji Duo about it, and he said that the medicine was gone, and the Emperor didn't send anyone to deliver it, so he didn't give it to me."
"That's strange." She felt a little uneasy. They looked almost healed without taking any medicine. Was Shi Liyuan going to let them off? This shouldn't be the case! She knew that man's temper too well. If she hadn't asked, Shi Liyuan would never have let the second branch of the Ye family off. How could a mortal heal the wound caused by spiritual power? Was there something wrong? Seeing that she looked strange, Madam Ji asked quickly, "What are you worried about, young lady?"
She told the truth: "I'm worried about Shi Liyuan."
"Lord Emperor? What's going to happen?" Nanny Ji said while shaking her head, "That shouldn't happen. What's going to happen to Lord Emperor?"
Ye Wenyan didn’t know what would happen to Lord Emperor. She just felt that the injuries of the second branch’s family healed strangely, and she also felt that the tone in which Master Liyuan spoke to her last night was not very natural.
"Never mind. I'll go there tonight anyway. I'll know when I get there."
Lunch was eaten in Qingliangyuan. In the evening, Zhuier and Jiduo came back from the outer city and brought back many pills.
She then remembered that Master Liyuan had promised to make her a storage-type space instrument, and she was looking forward to it. It would be much more convenient to have a space instrument, and all the pills and flowers could be put into the instrument, so that they could be used whenever they wanted.
Unlike now, these things piled up half of the carriage, and there was no place for people to sit. Zhuier took the initiative to arrange to sit outside with Jiduo, but she didn't let him. "It's cold in winter, and Jiduo is a man who practices martial arts. It's not a big deal to be outside. Forget it, so that I don't have to treat you if you get sick later."
Zhuier was very touched, "Young lady treats me so well, and treats all the servants well."
She nodded, without being modest, and told Zhuier: "People's hearts are earned. If you treat me well, I will treat you well. But if you have other intentions, I will not tolerate any sand in your eyes."
"With such a good master, only a fool would have unfaithful thoughts." Zhuier smiled and hugged her arm, "I just want to follow the Fourth Miss for the rest of my life. Whenever I think about how I was chosen by the Fourth Miss from a dust-cleaning maid, I wake up laughing several times in my dreams."
Ye Wenyan also laughed when he heard this, and as he laughed he asked a question: "What if you get married in the future? How can you still stay by my side?"
Zhuier answered straightforwardly: "Either the person who marries me agrees that I can continue to serve the young lady after marriage, or I won't marry." "What if I meet someone I really like, but he firmly doesn't want you to stay with me?"
"Then the young lady must be first, and those who like me or not can be ranked second." Zhuier was a little flustered after saying this, "Young lady, are you planning to marry me off to someone? Young lady, please don't plan so early, I don't want to get married."
She laughed, "I don't have the time to think about it."
"That's good. Miss, you'd better never think about this."
The guards at the gate of the palace were already used to seeing Fourth Miss Ye coming into the palace. When they saw Ye Wenyan coming, they let her in without saying anything. However, Ye Wenyan asked, "Don't we have a rule in the palace that we have to close the gate at this time? Why don't you ask me who I'm going to see? And whether the person I want to see is willing to see me?"
The imperial guards looked at each other, all smiling helplessly...
