Chapter 167 Giving food away

Still hurting?
Ye Wanqing frowned when she heard this: "Try taking the medicine for a few more days. If it still hurts, let's ask a doctor from outside the palace to take a look."

"Yes." Chu Anlan replied: "I have already made an agreement with my father and mother that I will take you out of Beijing to find a miracle doctor on the morning of June 25th."

Ye Wanqing choked: "So fast?"

She's not ready yet.

"Is it coming soon?" Chu Anlan gently fiddled with her fingers: "On June 20th, we will get married. On the 21st, we will go to the palace to pay our respects to the Emperor and the Queen Mother. On the 22nd, I will accompany you back home. The remaining two days will be used to pack luggage and have a Mid-Autumn Festival reunion dinner with my family in advance..."

The schedule is arranged in an orderly manner.

Ye Wanqing felt a slight itch on her fingertips, and she was a little distracted: "I heard from Tingrui that Chu Shaozhen and the others were imprisoned in the Beijing Guards. Do you want to rescue them?"

"I've been to the Beijing Guards." Chu Anlan replied, "But my father-in-law glared at me fiercely and scolded me. He said that if I also wanted to be imprisoned, I could just go and beg for mercy and make a scene at the gate of the Beijing Guards. Alas, how could I dare to do that?

If I'm really locked up, who will you marry at your wedding? If that Lu guy takes the opportunity to snatch my girl away, I won't be able to do anything in prison..."

Ye Wanqing laughed: "Father is doing this for your own good."

"But I feel sorry for Chu Shaozhen and the others." Chu Anlan frowned, "That kid from the Li family had better not walk on the road at night. If he falls into my hands one day, I will break a few of his bones."

The Li family is Concubine Li’s maternal family.

Ye Wanqing hooked Chu Anlan's fingers and said calmly: "Li Fei is in favor, so it is normal for the Li family to be arrogant. If you encounter them, you don't have to conflict with them. People who are too aggressive will be hurt by their aggressiveness sooner or later."

"Is it true?" Chu Anlan asked.

Ye Wanqing asked back: "Have I ever lied to the prince?"

"I have cheated." Chu Anlan answered without thinking.

Ye Wanqing tried to pull back her fingers.

Chu Anlan put more force on his hand and held her hand tightly: "Before, I asked you if you liked me as much as I liked you. You replied that you liked me very much. But, it has been so long, why didn't I realize that you liked me? Tell me, did you lie to me?"

After saying this, he looked at her eagerly.

Ye Wanqing was silent.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Chu Anlan immediately became excited: "See, you really don't like me that much!"

Ye Wanqing's eyelids twitched.

She supported herself with one hand and sat up from under the quilt, raised her head and kissed Chu Anlan's thin lips: "If you want to get close to me, you don't have to beat around the bush. If you like me to take the initiative, you can tell me directly."

Chu Anlan's ears turned red and he coughed softly: "I like it very much..."

Before he finished speaking, the carriage stopped.

The guard outside reminded: "We have arrived at Prince Dun's mansion."

Chu Anlan hesitated and was unwilling to get off the carriage: "Before the wedding, I can't come to the Princess's Mansion to see you. On the wedding day, I will come to pick you up."

Ye Wanqing curved her eyes and said, "Okay."

She helped him open the car curtain with her own hands.

Chu Anlan jumped off the carriage and turned to look at her again, his bright eyes reflecting the blazing fire: "Qing'er, wait for me."

In the past two days, the most heatedly discussed topic in Jindu, apart from the upcoming wedding of the princess and Prince Dun, was the fact that Concubine Li's brother had sent a group of princes to the Beijing Guards prison.

The accomplice is Prince Duan, who was once his good friend.

It is sad to see brothers turning against each other.

Similarly, the young masters who had disliked them in the past were gloating over their misfortune and took the opportunity to add insult to injury.

All the bad reputations are attributed to just a few people.

Unfortunately, they were still in prison and had no idea what was happening outside, let alone being able to defend themselves.

Ye Chenxi was so angry that he couldn't speak.

He couldn't do anything else but go to the Beijing Guards to deliver the meal in person.

…Towards evening, Ye Chenxi returned from school.

The carriage stopped outside the Imperial College, and Yao Lin led a few servants to wait for him beside the carriage.

Yao Lin said, "Master, the second master has ordered some wine and food for the young masters in the prison, and you can go to the restaurant to pick them up. In addition, the princess has also prepared some cakes, meat and fruit jerky, and asked you to take them with you."

Ye Chenxi lifted the carriage curtain: "So many food boxes?"

Yao Lin said, "Yesterday, weren't you worried about the young masters and said they were pitiful? The princess asked someone to prepare some more. If you can't finish it, you can put it away and eat it later."

"This girl is really thoughtful."

Ye Chenxi opened one of the food boxes, picked up a piece of preserved fruit and tasted it: "This peach meat is delicious, did you buy it in Lin'an City?"

After that, he held the food box and ate while mumbling, "Let's go to the restaurant to get some food and wine!"

……

The jails of the Beijing Guards usually held thieves who stole things or scoundrels who were looking for trouble.

Once in prison, everyone is treated equally.

Even if you are a prince, you have to sleep on a straw mat, drink white porridge and eat steamed buns once you enter the prison.

Chu Shaozhen and his group haven't had a good sleep or meal for two days.

The dark and damp prison was full of bedbugs.

Ye Chenxi's arrival was like a savior descending to earth, and his whole body exuded the gentle glow of a banished immortal.

He is the one who helps others when they need him.

At the door, Ye Chenxi ordered: "Bring all the food boxes in."

The dungeon smelled bad. He covered his nose and walked to the cell door: "Chu Shaozhen, Sheng Xi... wake up, don't sleep. I'm here to bring you food."

The young men lying on the straw mats woke up, rubbed their eyes, and looked at each other in bewilderment: "Am I dreaming? Why do I smell the aroma of food from the Jade Building?"

Chu Shengxi covered his empty stomach and said weakly: "Yes, you are dreaming, daydreaming."

Chu Shaozhen swallowed his saliva: "An Lan said that he invited the chef from the Jade Building to his wedding banquet. What date is today? Is it the wedding date of An Lan and the princess?"

A collapsed young man's voice rang out: "Oh my God! We have been in jail for almost ten days?"

Ye Chenxi urged, "What are you all dawdling about for? Hurry up, can't you see that the young masters are all starving and unconscious? Open the cell door and take out the food."

The jailer quickly opened the door.

The servant carried the table into the cell, and before the gentlemen could react, he placed the table in the middle of the cell and placed the food and pastries on it.

The aroma woke up the prisoners next door.

The prisoners banged on the iron bars and shouted at the top of their lungs—

"Why can they eat meat and drink wine in the cell? I want to eat meat and drink wine too!"

"Give me wine!"

"I want to eat pork elbow!"

The jailer knocked the iron bars with the handle of his knife and said fiercely, "Behave yourself! If you keep making noise, I'll cut off your tongues!
The higher-ups won’t say anything if the prisoner doesn’t have a tongue.”

For a moment, the prison became much quieter.

Chu Shaozhen rubbed his eyes: "Am I really not dreaming?"

A group of people crawled to their feet, and one by one they lay beside the table, staring at the food on the table.

Ye Chenxi entered the cell: "It's not a dream, I'm here to bring you food!"

Several people looked at him: "Is this An Lan's wedding banquet?"

"certainly not!"

Ye Chenxi sat on the stool: "The day before yesterday and yesterday, An Lan came to the Beijing Guards to rescue you, but his injuries haven't healed yet, so my father wouldn't let him go to jail. The jail is dirty and smelly, and there are scorpions and rats everywhere. If he gets bitten, who will my sister marry? I'm treating you to the wine and food in the Jade Tower, but it's my second brother's money. The cakes, meat jerky and fruit jerky were brought by my sister."
