Chapter 508 Living in the General's Mansion
Chapter 508 Living in the General's Mansion
How could it be such a coincidence that the Emperor Star just happened to descend upon the descendants of Yuan family?
Moreover, Yuan Chao is not a member of the main Yuan family, but just an unknown descendant of a side branch?
Hua Feixue would never believe it if someone said that Empress Dowager Yuan had no selfish motives in this.
Shen Shiran grabbed Hua Feixue's hand and persuaded her: "Brother Chu Yi, I am very happy to know that you are still alive!"
"Although I am reluctant to leave you, for your safety, please listen to my advice and leave Western Shu Kingdom as soon as possible before Empress Dowager Yuan's people find you!"
"If it is inconvenient for you to leave, I can also ask my father to arrange someone to take you out of the city tonight."
Hua Feixue shook her head and said to her: "Ah Ran, this prince will not leave."
"The reason I came back to the capital this time was to seek revenge on Empress Dowager Yuan. She killed my mother and her siblings, imprisoned my father, and exterminated the Chu royal family, forcing me to have nowhere to go. Now she is going to order the excavation of my mother's tomb to seize the kingdom established by Chu's ancestors."
"If I leave just to protect myself, how can I face my mother in the afterlife? How can I face the Chu family members who died at the hands of Queen Dowager Yuan?"
Shen Shiran felt sad and for a moment he felt like there was something stuck in his throat.
Although she is not Chu Yi, she knows that Chu Yi carries too many grievances and hatreds.
Sometimes, the living are far more miserable than the dead, and Chu Yi is that miserable person.
If the Chu royal family were destroyed in his hands, he would probably never be able to recover from it.
Not to mention the revenge for murdering relatives!
Shen Shiran looked at Hua Feixue with hazy eyes and opened her mouth, "Brother Chu Yi, but..."
Hua Feixue knew what Shen Shiran wanted to say, so she interrupted her.
"No buts, it's time to put an end to the feud between this prince and Queen Mother Yuan!"
As if she saw the sadness and worry on Shen Shiran's face, Hua Feixue reached out and touched her head, her tone very gentle.
"Aran, there is no need to persuade me anymore. This prince has made up his mind and knows what he is doing."
"I will write you a letter of withdrawal from the engagement. If I die, you should find a good man of equal status to marry and find a place to call home for yourself. Don't think about me anymore..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Shiran burst into tears and threw herself into Hua Feixue's arms.
"No... I don't want it... Brother Chu Yi... I won't marry anyone except you..."
Ji Yuntang, who was outside the screen, couldn't bear to watch any more.
They haven't even faced off against Empress Dowager Yuan yet, and Hua Feixue and Shen Shiran have already started their life-and-death separation?
If you don’t know, you might think they have been captured by Empress Dowager Yuan’s people.
The crying sound inside was hoarse. Ji Yuntang thought about it and felt that he still had to make a splash.
"Ahem..." She cleared her throat, knocked on the screen, and asked, "Miss Shen, can I come in?"
Shen Shiran was startled, and Hua Feixue only then remembered that Ji Yuntang was also in the room.
Her face suddenly turned a little embarrassed and her ears turned red in an instant.
By this time, Ji Yuntang had already walked around the screen and came in.
Hua Feixue immediately explained: "Ah Ran, she is already married. There is no relationship between this prince and her. Please don't misunderstand."
The corners of Ji Yuntang's mouth twitched. What a damn strong desire to survive!
Meeting Shen Shiran's puzzled gaze, Ji Yuntang took the initiative to introduce himself: "Miss Shen, my name is Ji Yuntang, I am Hua...a friend of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and also the Princess Ye of Dongchen Country."
"The reason why my brother and I followed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to Xishu this time is because I want something in the Xishu Imperial Palace. I have reached a cooperation with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I will help her kill Queen Mother Yuan and cure Emperor Chu's illness, and she will help me get what I want. We each get what we need."
Hua Feixue immediately agreed: "Yes, yes, Princess Ye is right, that's it."
Shen Shiran frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "But, how can Princess Ye, a woman, help Brother Chu Yi kill Queen Mother Yuan?"
Before Ji Yuntang could speak, Hua Feixue answered for her.
"Ah Ran, don't underestimate Princess Ye. Do you know how famous she is in Dongchen Country? Even Emperor Jingyang and the Imperial Concubine are no match for her. Those princes and princesses can only be abused by her."
"Also, Princess Ye's medical skills are very good. She saved your life just now. You have to believe in her ability."
Hua Feixue knew that the space was Ji Yuntang's secret, but she did not tell Shen Shiran about it.
Until now, she still didn't believe that Ji Yuntang had traveled from the future, but the facts forced her to believe it.
Shen Shiran was slightly stunned and looked at Ji Yuntang with a little gratitude.
"Thank you, Princess Ye, for saving my life. I am grateful to you."
Although they had only met once, she could tell that the woman's words and actions were very unusual.
Not to mention, Chu Yi had never praised someone like this in front of her before.
Anyone who can gain her recognition means that the woman in front of her is indeed capable.
Ji Yuntang smiled and said, "Miss Shen, there's no need to be polite. If you want to thank you, thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It was she who asked me to save you."
At this time, the people outside the door seemed to be unable to wait any longer, and intermittent quarrels were heard.
Xie Liuzheng's voice also rang out, "Sister Yuntang, are you guys ready? I'm starving and waiting for you to come out for dinner!"
Ji Yuntang knew that Xie Liuzheng was deliberately reminding him that the general and his wife might have become impatient!
She glanced at Hua Feixue and Shen Shiran, then walked over and opened the door.
Seeing this, Madam Mo immediately pushed Shen Xiangming aside and walked over, "Doctor Yun, how is my daughter?"
Ji Yuntang smiled and said, "General and Madam, please rest assured. Miss Shen has woken up and her fever has subsided. She will be fully recovered after taking two more doses of medicine."
Mrs. Mo was delighted and walked into the room quickly.
After a while, the voices of mother and daughter talking were heard in the room.
Shen Xiangming walked up to Ji Yuntang and spoke to her with a little more respect.
"Thank you, Doctor Yun, for saving my daughter's life. Later, I will send someone to give you 10,000 taels of gold as a thank you gift to Doctor Yun."
"Then I would like to thank the General!" Ji Yuntang smiled slightly and did not refuse.
For her, this was what she deserved, and if she refused it, she would seem pretentious.
Shen Xiangming glanced at the sky and suggested: "It's getting late today. I heard from my subordinates that Doctor Yun and his brother and sister-in-law are from other places and have no place to stay."
"If you don't mind, you can stay at the general's mansion. This will also allow me to show my hospitality as a good host."
