Chapter 366
Seeing that she was full of worries, Xia Chunyu gave up teasing her and sat down next to her.
"You said."
"I went to see Doctor Jiang today..."
Xia Chunyu's heart skipped a beat and he became nervous. Was it bad news? Otherwise, why did Yaoyao look so solemn?
I asked timidly, "How do you say that?"
Ye Jiayao said unhappily, "She said that I wasn't suffering from a cold entering my body, but from poisoning."
"Poisoned?" Xia Chunyu was shocked: "Was it Liuli who did it?"
Xia Chunyu immediately thought of Liuli. Last time, Liuli used Cordyceps sinensis to harm Yaoyao. Could it be that this was not the only time she had plotted against him?
Ye Jiayao glanced at him and said, "You have wronged Liuli this time. It wasn't her who did it."
It is no wonder that Chunyu would have such a guess. Liuli has done too many bad things. Based on qualitative thinking, everyone would naturally suspect her. For example, this time she was kidnapped, even Chunfeng suspected that it was Liuli who did it.
"Who is that?" Xia Chunyu's voice was cold.
"I don't know yet. Doctor Jiang said that the cold poison in my body has been accumulated for at least four or five years and it only broke out last year." Ye Jiayao smiled bitterly. The original owner was really unlucky. She occupied this body and inherited nothing else, but this bad luck has always followed her.
"Four or five years ago, you were still not married!" Xia Chunyu pondered.
Ye Jiayao clicked her tongue: "Isn't that nonsense? I just moved from Yangzhou to Jinan at the beginning of last year."
"I suspect it was done by Ning. I was sick when I was thirteen years old, and Ning has been asking me to take a certain kind of pill ever since."
Chunyu said depressedly: "Why are you so stupid? You knew that Ning was not a good person, but you still dared to take the medicine she gave you?"
Ye Jiayao was speechless, she had no words to express her pain. The her before and the her now were not the same person at all, okay? If she had replaced the original owner earlier, she would not have been so easily plotted against by the Ning family. Maybe she would have married Wei Liujiang and would not have met Chunyu. All I can say is that everything is fate.
"Of course I know now that Ning is not a good person. She hid it very deeply before." Ye Jiayao defended. Although the original owner was indeed stupid and cowardly, she still had to maintain her previous image, otherwise she would be nagged by Chunyu for the rest of her life.
Chunyu thought about it and realized that Yaoyao was only thirteen years old at that time! It was normal for her to lack the proper understanding and vigilance of the ways of the world at such a young age.
"Since Doctor Jiang can diagnose it, can she cure it?" Chunyu asked cautiously, already preparing for the worst.
Ye Jiayao looked at him dimly and said in a sad tone, "Chunyu, why don't you take a concubine?"
Xia Chunyu's heart sank, but he smiled: "Why take a concubine? You are enough for me."
"But you are the prince and the heir to the title, how can you be without descendants? Even if you don't dislike me, my father and mother will." Ye Jiayao sounded more and more pitiful.
Xia Chunyu put his arm around her shoulders, pulled her into his arms, and said distressedly, "Silly girl, isn't it easy to have an heir? Just adopt one. Don't worry, I'm here, and my father and mother won't say anything. If they dislike you, I'll run away from home with you. I don't care about that crappy title."
Ye Jiayao was so moved that she almost cried: "Chun Yu, why are you so good? You are so good that I can't bear to leave you."
Xia Chunyu was frightened and tightened his arms, as if afraid that she would run away: "Yes, you will never find another man as good as me, and you are unique in my heart. Even if you run away, I will catch you back, so don't have any crooked ideas. Anyway, the final result will be the same. We will be together until we grow old."
"Don't even think about finding me a concubine to please my parents or me. I don't like a third person interfering in our lives."
His tone was still gentle, but Ye Jiayao could feel him trembling. She had said that on purpose just now, and he could accept the fact calmly, but when she said she wanted to leave, he became scared.
You can't tease him anymore, or you'll suffer the consequences.
"Then swear that no matter whether I can give birth or not, you will never despise me and abandon me." Ye Jiayao deliberately asked him to swear seriously.
In this situation, Xia Chunyu didn't dare to joke and swore: "I only like you in this life. I will never despise you, let alone abandon you. Otherwise, I will die miserably..."
Ye Jiayao quickly covered his mouth: "Just swear if you want to, why do you have to make it so serious? It's New Year's Day, it's so inappropriate."
Xia Chunyu looked at her deeply, his pair of eyes, black and white, clear as water, full of tenderness and deep love, just like his heart, clear and exposed in front of her.
Ye Jiayao was shocked. Although she was unlucky, she was able to meet Chunyu and marry such a man. Who in the world was luckier than her? More happy?
The more serious he was, the more skillful Ye Jiayao had to be in making her confession.
"In fact, Doctor Jiang said that it is not incurable. He has already prescribed medicine for me and asked me to take it for half a month. But I dare not hold too high hope. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."
Xia Chunyu comforted him, "Since Doctor Jiang said so, just give it a try. It doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not. Don't feel any psychological burden."
Ye Jiayao nodded obediently: "I'll listen to you."
"However, this matter must be investigated thoroughly. The pills you took back then are definitely gone, but which doctor treated you? The doctor is still here. And what about the old man in the mansion? The people around Ning must know something."
Regardless of whether the poison in Yaoyao's body can be cured, Xia Chunyu will not let the person who poisoned her go. If it was Ning who did it, Ning is dead, so digging her out and whipping her body is fine, but that unscrupulous doctor cannot be allowed to continue to harm others. This also includes Zuo Qingyun and Prince Yu. He doesn't care if you are the young master of Jiangzuo League or the noble and prominent Prince Yu. Anyone who wants to harm Yaoyao, he will fight back and will never tolerate it.
Ye Jiayao nodded repeatedly: "I think so too." Xia Chunyu said: "Don't worry about this matter, I will check it out."
With Chunyu's help, Ye Jiayao no longer had anything to worry about. She then took her medicine and took a bath obediently, hoping that Doctor Jiang would be able to bring her back to health and cure her illness.
"By the way, I met Xiaojing in the palace. Xiaojing said that we should arrange a time for everyone to get together tomorrow. I have agreed. This time, thanks to Su Yi and Zhao Qixuan, I heard that the Ninth Master in Taoism also made a great contribution. I asked Xiaojing to call the Ninth Master to thank him in person. The location can be your dessert shop. Just prepare some tea, fruits, pastries and so on." Xia Chunyu said.
"Well, it's my duty. I will make some delicious cakes myself later. Zhao Qixuan has been thinking about my dessert shop for a long time. This time I will fulfill his wish. Also, don't forget to call Chunfeng." Ye Jiayao said with a smile.
Xia Chunyu smiled and wanted to talk about that matter, but decided not to. The plan of the assassination at Nanshan Palace was flawless, and the effect was better than he expected, thanks to her idea. However, she would not be allowed to participate in such dangerous things in the future.
Xiang Tao came outside and said, "Master, Second Young Madam, Madam wants to know when you will be there."
Ye Jiayao turned her head and looked at the clock: "Oh no, it's time for dinner, and I told my mother I would go there early."
The two of them hurried to the main courtyard.
I heard laughter before I even entered the door.
Especially Chun Guo and Niu Niu, they laughed the loudest.
When I went in, I saw that the two little guys were playing with the little master and were very happy.
Ye Jiayao remembered what Doctor Jiang had told her. The child was still weak and had no resistance. Everyone kept grabbing his hands and kissing his face. What if someone caught a cold and passed it on to the child?
But she couldn't say it, so she told Chunyu quietly. Chunyu nodded, walked over to look at his nephew, and asked Chunli: "Brother, have you chosen a name?"
Chunli chuckled and said, "Not yet. Let's give him a nickname first. Father will come to pick his full name. Mother just said to name him Zhuangzhuang. I hope he will grow stronger and stronger."
Well, calling him Zhuangzhuang is a bit rustic, but the meaning is quite good. Zhuangzhuang is a premature baby and weaker than other children. Now everyone’s biggest hope is that he can grow up safely.
"Well, that's good, Zhuangzhuang, little Zhuangzhuang." Chunyu smiled and looked at the child with particularly gentle and loving eyes.
"By the way, I heard that Doctor Jiang told us not to bring the child to crowded places. Brother, let's send the child back first! He's a premature baby, so we have to be extra careful!"
When Youshi heard this, she also hurriedly said, "Is that so? Then we should take him back as soon as possible."
Then he handed the child to the wet nurse and told her to take good care of the child.
Chun Guo said angrily: "When will my nephew grow up so I can play with him?"
Ye Jiayao smiled and said, "He will grow up soon. Wait until this time next year and you can give him a horse ride."
Chun Guo pouted: "It'll take another year. Never mind. I'd better play with Bao Er first!"
"Uncle...if you play with me, Niu Niu also wants to ride a horse." Niu Niu pulled Chun Guo's sleeve and said in a baby voice.
Chun Guo said firmly: "No, you are a woman, I can't let you ride a horse."
"Uncle is a bad guy." Niu Niu pouted angrily, climbed onto Youshi's lap, and ignored Chun Guo.
Everyone couldn't help laughing. It's so lively to have children at home!
Ye Jiayao turned her head and saw Liuli sitting aside, drinking tea slowly, with no expression on her face, as if the people and things here had nothing to do with her.
Youshi also saw it, but pretended not to see it, and asked the servants: "Where are the master and the third young master? Why haven't they come yet?"
The servant replied, "I have already asked him to come. He said he will be here soon."
Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive.
However, it was not only the Marquis and Chunfeng who came, but also Qiao, who came in with a headband and a large cloak.
Yu Shi frowned and said, "Why are you here? You haven't even finished your confinement yet, and you're out here catching a cold. If you get a chronic illness, it'll be a lifelong problem."
Mrs. Qiao smiled and said, "Mother, today we are all reunited, and I can't lie down at all. It's okay, I covered myself tightly on the way here, and not a single breath of wind could see through me."
Now, the family is truly reunited.
The servants filed in and served the food.
Chun Guo and Niuniu said happily: "It's time to eat and celebrate the Little New Year..."
Ye Jiayao and Chunyu smiled at each other. They understood each other's hearts and hoped that this family could always be happy, harmonious and reunited like this.
