Chapter 416
Chapter 416
Ye Xi was worried about Siyu, so she asked Wei Jue to let her go back to see Siyu every three to five days.
Wei Jue made a concession, allowing her to return to Yuexi Cottage once every ten days, with each stay not exceeding two hours.
Ye Xi knew that this was his limit and could only agree.
Perhaps because Wei Jue cooperated well in taking the medicine, his poison was well controlled and he was still able to go to court as usual every day, but he had to ride in a sedan chair.
Because of his meritorious service to the king, the young emperor allowed him to attend court in this way, and there has been peace in the past six months.
Ye Xi learned from the doctor that Wei Jue could not do strenuous exercise due to the poison, so they just slept in the same bed and nothing else happened.
Ye Xi hadn't met Yao Yushu in the Duke's Mansion in the past six months. She was very curious and asked the servants about it.
But the servants didn't dare to gossip, and they just mumbled that the lady had committed a crime and was under house arrest.
Ye Xi became even more curious after hearing this answer. What had he done wrong to be grounded for half a year? However, she also knew that she would not be able to get anything out of him.
In the blink of an eye, another two years passed. Ye Xi's life had not changed, but the people around him had changed a lot.
The first one is Wei Jue. His poison has never been cured. It used to be suppressed by taking medicine, but now it has developed into soaking in medicine.
His health is getting worse and worse, and now he only goes to court once every three to five days.
Wei Ye became even busier. Although they lived in the Duke's Mansion together, she met him less often.
She heard from the servants that Wei Ye had been promoted very quickly in the past two years and was now a fifth-rank military commander, having been transformed from a civil servant to a military officer.
The speed was like riding a rocket. Anyone with a discerning eye knew what was going on, but no one dared to say anything.
Because people often work hard in the military camp, they grow taller and stronger quickly, and their appetite also increases a lot.
Now Wei Ye has grown into a strong young man and is no longer the child in her heart. Especially after she knew that Ye'er already had a concubine, she could no longer treat Ye'er as a child.
That day, when she came back from Yuexi Cottage, she didn't see any servants in Tingfeng Garden. She thought they were all slacking off, so she walked straight out of the main house.
Just as she was about to push the door open, she heard a sharp female voice coming from inside.
She was stunned for a moment. She didn't know who the woman inside was and thought she was here to serve Wei Jue.
Just when he was about to leave quietly, he heard something about her, so he stopped and listened carefully to the movement inside.
"Sir, I've endured your indifference to me for so many years, and I've also endured your keeping me under house arrest for so many years because of that woman.
Today I come to you to ask for help regarding my brother's matter, but you want to turn a blind eye. Why?
How come that bitch named Ye has bewitched you to such an extent? "
"Yushu, I told you not to touch her many years ago, but you did it anyway. How can you blame me?" Wei Jue's voice was cold.
Only then did Ye Xi realize that the woman inside was Yao Yushu.
The reason she hasn't appeared for so many years is because she was under house arrest, and it's because of her?
“Sir, you already knew that I wanted to get rid of her in Mocheng, and you secretly replaced my people.
After all, I didn't hurt her at all.
It was you, sir, who caused her to get hurt in your bureau for your own selfish reasons. How can you blame me for that?"
Yao Yushu screamed at the top of his lungs.
"But if I hadn't discovered your conspiracy, she would have been rotten long ago. Do you dare to say that you don't have evil intentions?"
Wei Jue paused for a moment, "You know very well what kind of people you are looking for. I am not retaliating because you have been raising Ye'er peacefully. Don't think that I am really giving you face!"
