Chapter 282 Feeling distressed

Xia Chunyu carefully opened the window little by little. Xiangtao was good. She knew how to care for her master and told him that there was another way. Otherwise, he would have to sleep under the eaves again tonight.

Ye Jiayao tiptoed to the west room in the dark, and saw that the window was indeed pushed open a crack, so she held her breath and stood aside.

Xia Chunyu was delighted to hear that there was no movement inside, and he pushed open another window more carefully. He climbed onto the window sill with both hands, and was about to jump in when a figure suddenly jumped out and slammed the two windows shut.

Fortunately, Xia Chunyu was agile and managed to stop himself from rushing forward and jumped back. Even so, he was still hit on the forehead by the window.

Click, the window was also bolted.

Xia Chunyu was stunned for a moment. This woman has such a cruel heart.

"Ouch..." Xia Chunyu cried out in pain exaggeratedly.

Xiang Tao had been watching from the side, and when she saw the prince knocked his head, she hurried over and said, "Prince, are you okay?"

Xia Chunyu winked at her, signaling her to cooperate, but he said, "It's okay, it's okay, I just touched it."

Xiang Tao was much smarter than Qiao Xi and exclaimed, "Oh, Master, you're bleeding..."

Xia Chunyu gave her a thumbs up and praised her.

While saying: "Don't be startled."

"You're bleeding and you still say it's okay. You need to apply medicine quickly..." Xiangtao cooperated even harder after being praised.

Little did they know that Ye Jiayao was leaning through the window and watching the two of them singing in unison.

Pretend, let you pretend.

Humph! Ye Jiayao continued to lie back on the bed and sleep without any guilt.

"Second Young Madam, the Young Master is injured..."

Ye Jiayao rolled her eyes. You little bitch, how much reward did you get for working so hard?

"Second Young Madam, do you want to ask for a doctor?"

Call a stupid doctor! Ye Jiayao covered herself with a blanket and went to sleep.

"Forget it, Xiangtao, your Second Young Madam seems to be asleep." Xia Chunyu consoled himself, but his eyes were fixed on the closed doors and windows, feeling so depressed.

Alas, after all the hard work, he was still covered in dust and had accomplished nothing. He was a prince, but he had fallen to the point where he had to climb out the window and hadn't succeeded.

Xiang Tao looked at the discouraged prince sitting under the eaves with great sympathy, and said, "Prince, why don't you go back to your room and sleep? You'll be cold if you sleep here."

Xia Chunyu hugged his arms tightly and went back to his room to sleep. There was no bed in the room. The Wangong bed had been chopped up by Yaoyao and burned as firewood. He said angrily, "Bring me a blanket."

Ye Jiayao threw off the blanket, sat up, and glared at the door. Did this idiot have to torture himself like this? Did he think that this would make her feel sorry for him and forgive him? No way. He could sleep wherever he wanted.

So, someone huddled in the corridor and prepared to deal with it for the night. Since he was already in such a miserable state, he might as well make it even more miserable. This was a trick of inflicting pain on himself, so he had to be serious about it.

But the weather was not good, and it started to rain in the middle of the night, like beans pouring down all over the sky. Xia Chunyu huddled to the door with a blanket in his arms, but was still hit by the raindrops that drifted in.

Xia Chunyu looked up at the sky in silence. I've been miserable enough, and yet you're still adding insult to injury. How unkind of you!

Ye Jiayao was sleeping so soundly that she didn't hear the sound of rain at all.

Qiao Xi and Xiang Tao got up and leaned against the window to look at the Young Master.

"Sister Qiao Xi, we can't go on like this. The young master will get sick from the cold." Xiang Tao said worriedly.

Qiao Xi sighed silently: "What can I do? The Second Young Madam is very angry this time. She will not forgive the Young Master unless he suffers a little."

"Then... let's at least send an umbrella to the prince." Xiangtao said as she was about to get out of bed.

Qiao Xi held her back and said, "Don't go. The prince is in good health and it's okay for him to get cold. This matter will only be over if the Second Young Madam feels bad for him."

I thought to myself: I'm sorry, Master, I'm only doing this for your own good.

So, someone froze to death all night.

The next morning, Ye Jiayao was awakened by a loud sneeze. Someone sneezed one after another.

“Ah…Ah…”

Ye Jiayao frowned. The sound didn't sound fake. Was he really cold?
He was about to get out of bed to take a look, but when he reached the door he stopped.

It's just a cold, isn't it? What's the big deal? Everyone has a headache or fever from time to time. He deserves to be sick.

So he pulled the bolt on the door and climbed back into bed.

Qiao Xi knocked on the door and came in with a pot of hot water in her hand. Ye Jiayao pricked up her ears to listen, but there seemed to be no movement outside. She wanted to ask Qiao Xi about Chunyu's condition, but she couldn't open her mouth.

Qiao Xi didn't mention it and helped her wash and change clothes.

After everything was ready, Xiangtao brought in breakfast.

The two of them had a tacit understanding and never mentioned the prince, which made Ye Jiayao feel very uncomfortable.

When I went out, I didn't see Chunyu, but I found the ground was wet and there was a puddle of water in the yard. It turned out that it rained last night. Looking at the puddle of water, it must have rained quite a lot. Did that guy really stay under the eaves all night like an idiot?
Ye Jiayao felt even more uneasy and couldn't help but worry.

Even though I'm angry, I still don't want him to get sick.

"Where is the prince?" Ye Jiayao couldn't hold back her breath and asked Qiao Xi. Qiao Xi was secretly happy, but the Second Young Lady was still distressed. She said, "I don't know either. The prince didn't tell me, so I didn't ask. But I can see that the prince looks very unhappy."

Ye Jiayao rolled her eyes at her in complaint: "How do you serve others? If you knew that the prince was not feeling well, you should have gone and asked for a doctor!"

Qiao Xi said aggrievedly: "This servant is of the same mind as the Second Young Madam."

Bah! We have to see what's going on.

Each and every one of them is a worry.

Xiang Tao said, "How about I go and look for the prince?"

Ye Jiayao thought that Xiangtao was smart, so she would not pursue the matter of her and Chunyu acting together last night.

"Go find it yourself if you want. I didn't tell you anything." Ye Jiayao said stubbornly.

Xiang Tao pursed her lips and said softly, "Oh, then I won't go looking for her."

Ye Jiayao felt depressed. They didn't obey when they should, and pretended to be obedient when they shouldn't. Ye Jiayao suspected that the two girls did it on purpose.

He said fiercely, "Go find him quickly! If the Madam knows that you didn't serve the prince well, she will peel off your skin."

Xiang Tao shrank back for a moment and said timidly, "I will go right away."

As soon as she turned around, Xiangtao couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth. The Second Young Mistress still felt sorry for the Young Master. The Young Master's trick of inflicting pain on himself worked.

Xia Chunyu has already gone to the palace. He did not go on duty yesterday and sent someone to the palace to ask for leave. It seems that he will not be able to be on duty today, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Things at home are more important, so he has to go to the palace in person to change shifts or continue to ask for leave.

Xiang Tao turned around and came back, saying, "Second Young Madam, the prince has gone to the palace to work. I heard from the gatekeeper that the prince almost fell off his horse when he was getting on it."

The first sentence is true, but the second sentence is made up by Xiangtao herself. The Second Young Madam is already heartbroken, so let's add some more fuel to the fire.

Sure enough, the Second Young Madam looked worried and seemed very angry.

I guess this anger also comes from heartache.

Ye Jiayao was upset. This bastard was deliberately making her feel uncomfortable.

Ye Xue came in from outside.

"Second Young Madam, I heard that Third Young Madam fainted in the middle of the night yesterday and was carried back home."

"What about the third young master?" Ye Jiayao asked.

"The Third Young Master is still kneeling in the ancestral hall!"

Ye Jiayao sneered in her heart. Did you faint in the middle of the night? Then you have to make up for this time. When you wake up, continue kneeling.

Since Chunyu has already entered the palace, there is no point for Ye Jiayao to worry, as she has important things to do today.

I went to find Xiao Jing first and asked him if there was any way to let Mu Qi or Mu Qinchu meet Minister Mu.

Xiao Jing pondered for a moment and said, "It's not difficult to see him now. The case has been sentenced. All his property will be confiscated and he will be exiled to Mobei. He will not be allowed to return to the court for life."

"Then can you help me arrange it as soon as possible?"

Xiao Jingqi asked, "I remember you really disliked Mu Qinchu, why did you help him?"

Ye Jiayao sneered, "I'm not helping him, I'm helping myself. Ye Jinrong teamed up with Liuli to harm me in order to help Wei Liujiang get away with the crime. I can't forgive her. Besides, Wei Liujiang is indeed guilty. I'm here to help the court bring the guilty to justice."

Xiao Jing sneered: "Okay, I'll make arrangements and give you news as soon as possible."

That Second Miss Ye is so abominable, she deserves to be severely punished.

"By the way, how do uncle and aunt decide to deal with Liuli?" Xiao Jing has been worried about this issue since he came back yesterday, fearing that Youshi would take Liuli's identity into consideration and treat her unfairly.

He couldn't swallow this.

Ye Jiayao said angrily, "What else can I do? She was honest, admitted her fault, and accepted the punishment, but she said frankly that she would hate me for the rest of her life. Now Chunfeng is accompanying her to kneel in the ancestral hall. It was agreed that we would kneel for three days and three nights, but she fainted last night."

Xiao Jing said unwillingly: "It's too easy for her. If I want it, I will at least add an additional six months of house arrest."

"Forget it, let's not talk about her. This is all for Chunfeng's sake. Fortunately, she is sincere to Chunfeng. She will be more cautious in doing things in the future." Ye Jiayao sighed.

"Now that you've said that, what else can I do? However, you were also wrong this time," Xiao Jing said.

Ye Jiayao was stunned. What was wrong with her?
Xiao Jing said bitterly: "You are the goddaughter of our ancestor, and you belong to the Helian Palace. You didn't even tell us when you had a problem. Do you think we are family?"

Ye Jiayao was embarrassed, but she felt warm in her heart and was slightly touched. Xiaojing was worried about her.

"me……"

Xiao Jing glared at her and said, "Remember this in the future. If someone bullies you and Brother Chunyu doesn't help you, you still have me and the Helian Palace. Don't take on everything by yourself. No matter how capable you are, there are things you can't do."

Ye Jiayao nodded repeatedly and accepted the advice with an open mind.

"Also, Brother Chunyu has been too unreasonable this time. You have to teach him a profound lesson, make him not trust you, and make him do something stupid. When my brother comes back, I will settle the score with him." Xiao Jing said fiercely.

Ye Jiayao blinked, somewhat puzzled. Why did he have to wait for Helian Xuan to come back before he could settle accounts with Chunyu? Was he afraid that he couldn't beat Chunyu alone, so he wanted two brothers to beat him together?
