Chapter 121 Sending the Porcelain Doll

Ye Yaoyao had a special feeling for him. She didn't know what it was, but it seemed that after meeting him, she had that strange dream.

Thinking of the man in her dream, for some reason, she always imagined him to look exactly like the man before her. Looking at Qin Jingyu, she pressed him for an answer:

"Your Highness, could you tell me what kind of liking it is?"

Qin Jingyu's lips curled up slightly. "You'll understand in a few days."

Ye Yaoyao pouted, "Hmph! That's just to appease me."

Qin Jingyu moved closer to her, looking deeply into her captivating eyes, "I never lie."

"Oh!" He was so close that Ye Yaoyao took a step back, her cheeks flushed.

Seeing her embarrassed expression, Qin Jingyu shifted his gaze from her to the objects on the table.

"Who gave you these things on the table? They look a bit old."

"These are all things I played with when I was a kid!"

Qin Jingyu was drawn to the ten porcelain dolls on the table. Each doll was endearing and very cute.

He picked one up and gently stroked it with his slender fingers.

"These dolls look somewhat like you."

"Of course, this is what I looked like when I was a child."

"Oh!" Qin Jingyu responded, "This is quite unique, would you mind giving it to me?"

"No, no, I can give you one, but not that one. How about this one?"

The porcelain doll in Qin Jingyu's hand had a crying expression, but Ye Yaoyao chose a smiling face for him.

"I like this one in my hand, how about you give me two?"

Ye Yaoyao glanced at the eight left on the table, and thinking about how much he had helped, nodded in agreement.

"All right!"

Ye Yaoyao carefully put the porcelain doll in the box and pushed it in front of him.

"Your Highness, do you have any books on Gu techniques from the Southern Frontier?"

The royal family feared witchcraft and sorcery; which minister would dare to keep such a book in his own home?

"Gu? What do you want to see this for?"

"I want to research information about love potions."

"Love Poison?" Qin Jingyu looked at her meaningfully.

"Yes, I'll send someone over tomorrow." Qin Jingyu agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, thank you, Your Majesty."

"Get some rest, I'm leaving now." Qin Jingyu pinched her cheek, took the two small boxes, and went out the window.

The next day, after finishing breakfast, Ye Yaoyao went to the study to look for information.

"Little sister, you rushed to the study right after your meal. What book are you looking for?"

The triplets followed them in, and the servants took many books off the shelf and placed them on the ground.

"I'm looking for information. If you have time, could you help me find it?"

Even though she had help, Ye Yaoyao didn't want to rely on others all the time.

"What kind of books are you looking for? I'll look for them with you." Ye Jingyang rolled up his sleeves.

"Find two kinds of medicinal materials: one is a hundred-year-old night-blooming vine, and the other is a phoenix tail flower."

Look for some travelogues, geography books, medical books, and the like.

"Okay!" the three agreed, focusing intently on carefully searching through the pile of books.

Not long after, Liu Yunshu arrived, followed by Xin Chuli.

Wow, so many books! What are you looking for?

Xin Chuli came in and saw books scattered all over the floor. The siblings sat on the floor and flipped through the books.

"Sister Xin, you're here. Why don't you and Big Brother go out and have some fun?"

Ye Yaoyao glanced at her, said this, and then started flipping through the pages again.

"What? I'd be looking for you if I went out to play, why are you looking for Brother Ye? What are you doing? I'll go with you guys."

Xin Chuli completely failed to grasp Ye Yaoyao's meaning, and while speaking, she rolled up her sleeves, ready to join in.

The younger sister wanted to play matchmaker for the two of them, but Xin Chuli seemed oblivious to the situation, Ye Xiyao sighed inwardly.

"We are looking for two medicinal herbs: a hundred-year-old night-blooming vine and a phoenix tail flower."

"A hundred years old? That's so old, I've never even heard of Phoenix Tail Flower."

Xin Chuli picked up the book and quickly flipped through it.

"Mother, let's search together too."

"No need, Mother. We're going to the palace for a banquet again. You go and make your preparations, and also have a chat with Aunt Xin."

Ye Yaoyao stopped her, and Ye Jingyang echoed:

"What my little sister said makes sense."

"All right!"

Seeing this, Liu Yunshu had no choice but to leave. Ye Yaoyao looked at the closed door and breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, Mother went out. If she had asked why I'd come here, I would have had to make up an excuse.

The twins exchanged a glance. Why make up an excuse?

Ye Li'an asked, "Little sister, what do we need these two medicines for?"

"Oh! My grandfather and I are going to make a kind of medicine."

[For my mother's medical treatment.]

Ye Jingyang's eyes widened, and the twins stared at each other again. Their mother didn't have any serious illnesses, but she had suffered a head injury and occasionally had headaches.

It seems that things are not as they thought.

"Little sister, can Mother's chronic headache be cured?" Ye Xiyao asked cautiously.

"If we can find a good medicine, then that's fine."

So hurry up and start looking.

"Oh! Mother suffered so much from that fall eighteen years ago."

Ye Jingyang sighed.

"Aunt Liu fell and suffered from a chronic illness for more than ten years. This fall must have been quite serious."

Ye Xiyao nodded with heartache:

"Yes! We've always given our mother headaches since we were little."

[It wasn't from a fall; it was that madwoman Qin Yunshang who gave my mother the Thousand Concubine Drug, a drug that makes people lose all feeling and love.]

The triplets were shocked. Ye Xiyao dropped the book in her hand, revealing that there was more to the story.

Severing all ties and love! No wonder their mother, a noblewoman from a prominent family, married Ye Mian.

Ye Li'an fell into deep thought; his maternal grandfather had actually kept all this from him.

Ye Li'an knew why Qin Yunshang had harmed their mother, but the other two didn't, and were still wondering which man the princess actually liked.

That man might be the one Liu Yunshu truly loves.

"I heard that the Princess's residence recently had several cartloads of broken items brought out."

“I heard from my father that in the past two days, many officials have been found guilty of various crimes, and there may be a lot of them being dismissed or exiled!”

The group chatted as they worked without stopping.

[Haha! That was the handsome man who did it. Qin Yunshang's people have suffered a heavy loss!]

"Those people are probably all henchmen of the eldest princess. It would be best if they were all dismissed from their posts to anger her to death."

Ye Jingyang said angrily.

[It's fine if she gets sick from anger, but she can't die. If she dies, it will affect my own father's life.]

"Thud!" This was Ye Jingyang's book falling to the ground with a dull thud.

Ye Li'an glanced at Ye Yaoyao and thought to himself: Little sister found out so quickly.

The other two stared intently at Ye Yaoyao, learning one secret after another today.

Is this true? Is the little sister not the child of a scumbag father?

The triplets began to tacitly seek confirmation, and Ye Lian, who knew the truth, nodded.

The next moment, Ye Jingyang and Ye Xiyao glanced at Ye Yaoyao with envy, both having the same thought in their minds.

[It's so great that my little sister isn't the daughter of a scumbag father! I'm so envious. So who is her biological father?]

"What's wrong?" Ye Yaoyao felt several gazes on her and looked at them in confusion. The two siblings answered her in unison:

"Little sister, we think you're getting more and more beautiful."
