Chapter 144 Princess' Birthday
Ye Xuanling was taken away. Ye Youran, out of a sense of conscience as they were of the same origin, ordered someone to invite the imperial physician.
"Just call in Imperial Physician Lu." Concubine Tong specifically instructed the palace maids.
When Song Yunxi looked over with an ambiguous expression, Concubine Tong smiled and explained, "It seems that Doctor Lu has some connections with Xuan Ling. It might be better to let him treat him."
But what she wanted in her heart was to confirm Concubine Shen...or to be more precise, the Shen family's attitude towards Ye Xuanling.
If Doctor Lu can treat the patient well, it only means that the Shen family wants more than just a little wealth. They also want to tie the Tong family to their boat and drain them dry.
If that's the case, then Ye Xuanling is even less likely to be a son.
Compared with her family who raised her and loved her with all their heart for more than 20 years, what was the conscienceless Ye Xuanling?
But at the same time, she felt sad and curious. What made her sad was that, just as she had been trying to avoid in her subconscious mind, her only son did not escape the fate of being abandoned after his death.
I am curious about how he died in his previous life, whether he saw Song Muxue's true face before he died, and whether he felt regret.
That day, the news that Ye Xuanling was beaten by Song Yunxi to the point of being on his last breath and thrown out of the palace spread like wildfire. The emperor still turned a blind eye to it, just like he did when Ye Xuanrong and Ye Wenshan were beaten. This made Song Muxue anxious, and the Shen family even more anxious.
Shen Zhikang ordered Doctor Lu to protect Ye Xuanling at all costs and not to allow any mistakes.
They need a large sum of money now. Without Ye Xuanling, it will be really difficult to move forward. So no matter how much Ye Xuanling covets Song Muxue, he must be alive at this critical moment!
Imperial Doctor Lu tried his best to treat him, Shen Zhikang sent precious medicinal herbs to Prince Kang's mansion as if they were free, and Song Muxue stayed by Ye Xuanling's bedside day and night.
They were all afraid that Ye Xuanling would die.
But Song Yunxi had no time to care about these things, because the main event she had arranged was about to begin, and she was eagerly looking forward to the eldest princess' birthday.
The eldest princess' birthday arrived as scheduled. As the most beloved princess of the late emperor and the eldest sister most valued by the current emperor, the eldest princess has an extraordinary status in the royal family.
Therefore, her birthday celebration was attended by all the powerful officials and nobles in the capital, and no one dared to neglect it.
Looking at the four words "Su'an Earl's Mansion" on the plaque, Song Yunxi really didn't want to set foot in this place if it weren't for the situation.
The eldest princess has her own princess mansion, but since Ji Hongwen died in battle, she always makes some time to live in the Su'an Marquis's mansion.
Firstly, it was to commemorate her husband who died in battle, and secondly, it was to protect her eldest son adopted by her and Ji Hongwen, now the prince of Su'an, Ji Xuze. She was afraid that he would be looked down upon by others and suffered the slightest injustice.
Song Yunxi sneered in her heart, fearing that her adopted son would be looked down upon and wronged. She was cruel enough to her own biological son and let him be bullied by the sweet-mouthed but treacherous adopted son.
Song Yunxi didn't dare to imagine that if her second brother had not met the master and been accepted as a disciple, he would have endured so much injustice in the Su'an Marquis's Mansion, and it was unknown whether he could grow up safely.
The more Song Yunxi thought about it, the angrier she became.
Sensing her emotions, Ye Xuanqi was afraid that she would go crazy again like last time, so he gently comforted her: "Some things take a long time to come."
Song Yunxi was slightly stunned. She had no memory of the last time when she whipped Ji Xuze half to death with a silver whip. She only remembered that she wanted to avenge her second brother in her previous life.
So she persuaded herself to calm down. Now that she was in the capital, was she still afraid that she would not have time to avenge her second brother?
She will not let go of any of those things that have taken over her place.
Ye Xuanke also curled his lips in dissatisfaction: "If it weren't for my aunt's face, this prince would not bother to come here!"
They knew from childhood that they only had one cousin, Ji Ziche, but they were repeatedly scolded and corrected by their aunt. Later, their aunt even went to their father and cried and made a fuss, accusing them, the princes, of not taking her seriously and therefore disrespecting her eldest son.
After several times, the emperor's father was also annoyed by her, so he secretly told them that they could ignore or even pay attention to Ji Xuze, or they could secretly make things difficult for him, but they had to do it smartly so as not to be caught by others.
In addition, you have to give your aunt some face in front of others. You don’t have to call Ji Xuze “big cousin”, but you must call Ji Ziche “second cousin”.
"Who said that the second cousin must have an older cousin above him?"
These were their father’s exact words at the time, and they all remembered them.
So over the years, Ji Xuze seemed to be in a very glorious position, but he was just an outsider in the eyes of his father and the other princes, and they always ignored him.
Moreover, in order to keep the title for my second cousin, my father only agreed to make Ji Xuze the crown prince. No matter how hard my aunt tried to persuade him over the years, she never agreed to let Ji Xuze inherit the title.
In fact, they and their father all knew that their second cousin didn't care about the title of Earl Su'an at all. If he wanted to be noble, given their father's favoritism for this nephew, what title could he not give him?
But as my father said: Even if my second cousin doesn't want it, Ji Xuze must not be allowed to get it.
Ye Xuan Ke even wondered if when he was about to die, Ji Xuze would still be just the son of the Earl of Su'an.
Ye Xuanke took a deep breath and looked at Song Yunxi: "Let's go and meet this Prince Su'an today."
When my second cousin left the capital for Shengyun Mountain, my father was so angry that he summoned my aunt into the palace and gave her a harsh scolding. That was the only time my father was angry with his eldest sister.
"Since my sister only recognizes him as her son, I might as well tell her that I only have one nephew, Zi Che, in this life!"
"From now on, the son of Lord Su'an, Ji Xuze, is not allowed to set foot in the palace. Otherwise, I will make him stay with Lord Su'an to show my filial piety!"
The decision made by the emperor was beyond everyone's expectations, and it was even more unexpected for my aunt. My aunt objected immediately, but this time no matter how much she cried, she couldn't make the emperor change his mind.
It is precisely because of this that Ji Xuze, the prince of Su'an Earl, has been suppressed overtly and covertly by his father for many years and has been unable to pursue a career in officialdom. He can only be an idle prince.
Unexpectedly, the usually calm and wise aunt became brainless when she met Ji Xuze. Last time, she even brought Ji Xuze into the palace secretly without the knowledge of her father, causing her second cousin to be plotted against by him.
I heard from my fourth brother that the emperor was furious when he found out, and he immediately warned my aunt that if Ji Xuze appeared in the palace again, he would no longer be the Prince of Su'an.
Song Yunxi, who was originally cold and threatening, suddenly changed her attitude and smiled brightly at Ye Xuanqi: "That's right, there is a long way to go..."
Isn't today the day?
