In her past life, the deaths of Gongsun Yuan and Ye Yankang were a painful memory that Ye Pianran could not bear to touch.
Since giving birth to Ye Yankang prematurely, Gongsun Yuan's health had been poor, and she was unable to conceive afterward. Even when she did conceive, she would miscarry, and her health continued to deteriorate. Therefore, when she heard the news that the Prime Minister's family had been involved in Prince Yue's rebellion, resulting in her father and brother being dismissed from office and beheaded, Consort Ren being banished to the Cold Palace, and the Prime Minister's residence being raided, Gongsun Yuan vomited blood and passed away two days later.
After she left, Ye Yankang somehow sneaked out of Lanxin Courtyard one night and accidentally fell into the pond and drowned.
Whether it was the tragedy at the Prime Minister's residence or the deaths of Gongsun Yuan and Ye Yankang, Ye Pianran in her previous life thought it was misfortune or an accident. But after walking through the gates of hell and learning that everything she had lost was meticulously planned, how could she not understand that there was no such thing as an accident?
"Mother... Mother..." It's not too late, it's not too late.
Ye Pianran held Gongsun Yuan's warm hand tightly, like someone falling off a cliff grabbing a lifeline, crying bitterly and heartbreakingly. Hot tears wiped away the wounds on her face, the piercing pain reaching deep into her heart, reminding her not to repeat the tragedy of her previous life.
"Alright, alright, stop crying. Just be more careful next time." Gongsun Yuan thought she was upset about her disfigured face, so she gently advised her, "If you keep crying, and you end up with a scar, no one will want you."
Ye Pianran said in a muffled voice, "I couldn't ask for more."
"Huh?" Gongsun Yuan didn't hear clearly, but Ye Yanxun did. He quickly lowered his eyes to hide his surprise and doubt.
After venting her emotions, Ye Pianran felt much better. She wiped away her tears and said with a smile, "Don't cry anymore, so Mother won't worry. By the way, how are you feeling, Mother? Is anything bothering you?"
Gongsun Yuan shook her head, looking weary: "The same as always."
"Mother, do you still remember Doctor Mo from the Prime Minister's residence? He happens to be here, and I'd like to ask him to take your pulse," Ye Pianran said.
Gongsun Yuan was startled and went to look at Ye Yanxun. This child hadn't mentioned that the doctor who treated Ran'er's injuries was Doctor Mo from the Prime Minister's residence.
Ye Yanxun wiped away the medicine that had splashed on his hand without leaving a trace, and said with a smile, "I didn't say anything earlier because I was afraid that Mother would be emotionally unstable. Since it is Ran'er's filial piety, it is fine for Mother to take a look."
“Alright, let’s call him to come and take a look.” Gongsun Yuan nodded in agreement.
Upon being summoned, Granny Tan and Doctor Mo entered the room.
Granny Tan had watched Gongsun Yuan grow up since she was a child, and her feelings for her were as close as those for a family member. When she saw Gongsun Yuan looking haggard and pale, no longer the stunningly beautiful girl she once was, she felt extremely heartbroken and couldn't help but hate the Marquis's mansion even more.
Doctor Mo observed Gongsun Yuan's pulse with a solemn expression. After a moment, he released his grip and turned to look at Ye Pianran.
Ye Pianran felt a little nervous, afraid that she would hear something bad from him.
"She suffers from deficiency of both qi and blood, insufficient kidney essence, and an imbalance of yin and yang. In addition, excessive thinking has led to mental strain. The young lady's body is in a state of great disarray," Doctor Mo said with a worried expression. "Are the medicines she usually takes prescribed by the doctors in the Marquis's mansion?"
Granny Chen stepped forward and replied, "Yes."
"Bring me both the dregs and the decoction so I can take a look."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yanxun handed over the bowl of medicine he was holding.
Suddenly realizing something, Ye Pianran froze, and a chill ran down her spine. She clenched her fists and stared intently at the bowl of dark, murky medicine.
