Chapter 104 What She Said
Ye Jinshu decided to find the reason, so she began to observe everything happening around her.
The more I looked at her, the more powerless I felt. Sometimes talent is a gap that people cannot cross, just like I will never be able to piece together the truth of a matter from the details like Jiang Sisi and get the answer I want.
Moreover, the Anping Palace is now crowded with people.
In the past, Ye Jinshu felt that he had no secrets, and there was nothing that was inconvenient for the emperor and empress to know. It didn’t matter whether the secret guards were there or not.
But now the mentality is different.
She had some little idea.
She began to feel uncomfortable with those secret guards around her.
With more things on his mind, Ye Jinshu became depressed.
At times like this in the past, if Ye Jinshu looked unhappy, the secret guards around her would definitely report it to the Emperor and Empress, and this time was no exception.
Soon the nanny beside the queen came to ask why Ye Jinshu was in a bad mood, and asked if something was missing.
Ye Jinshu took the opportunity to ask the Queen for permission to leave the palace, wanting to find Jiang Sisi.
When the Queen heard that Ye Jinshu was going to leave the palace, she called Ye Jinshu over and talked to him for a while: "Jinshu, is there anything you want when you leave the palace this time? If it's just a storybook or something like that, just send someone to buy it."
Originally, Ye Jinshu might have just thought that the Queen was concerned about her, but she didn't know if it was because of Ji Yanqing, so she was now extremely sensitive.
When she heard the word "huaben", she knew what the queen was worried about.
She knew that the Queen Mother didn't want her to meet Ji Yanqing. Asking her like this now was to tell her that if she left the palace this time to meet Mr. Huaben, she would not let her go.
In fact, Ye Jinshu was a little confused. If the emperor and empress had already decided not to let her become the Crown Princess, then letting her go out and interact with Ji Yanqing would not be a good opportunity to spread the rumor about her and Ji Yanqing, thus allowing Ye Ruoyan to become the Crown Princess cleanly?
Why stop her?
Ye Jinshu didn’t understand, and she felt that she should go out and ask Jiang Sisi at this time.
Ye Jinshu's current principle of doing things is to rely on others if he can't do it himself.
When Ji Yanqing is around, he relies on Ji Yanqing; when Ji Yanqing is not around, he relies on Jiang Sisi.
As long as these two people work hard enough, she will definitely be able to live the life she has always dreamed of.
"Aunt, I haven't seen Sister Jiang for some time. She always came to the palace to accompany me before, and occasionally she wanted me to go out of the palace to accompany her. Besides, Aunt, I have reached the age of marriage and I am an adult now!"
The queen looked at Ye Jinshu's smiling face, and when she heard her say the word "sir", she wondered if this was Ye Jinshu hinting that she had reached the age of marriage but they had not announced her marriage to the prince.
But when the queen met Ye Jinshu's gaze, she knew that Ye Jinshu said that the coming of age had nothing to do with the prince, and she even didn't care about her engagement with the prince at all. She just wanted to leave the palace.
A child so innocent that it makes people feel sorry for him.
Do they really want to do this.
The queen closed her eyes to hide her thoughts. "Since you said so, how could your aunt not let you go out? Bring a few more guards with you and remember to come back before dark. Your aunt will send someone to pick you up at the palace gate."
Ye Jinshu took the token to leave the palace with a smile, and acted like a spoiled child: "I know, auntie." But time flies, and now she is no longer a child.
If a noble of Ye Jinshu's status went out of the palace to look for a specific person, there would be someone in the palace with quick feet who would go to the place where the noble was going in advance to report the news, to ensure that the noble would not make a wasted trip when he arrived.
At the same time, it is also to ensure the personal safety of your benefactor.
If the noble person does not arrive at the destination within the expected time, they will return to the palace to report that the noble person is in danger.
So once the Queen asked Ye Jinshu if he had a specific place to go, she would not worry about Ye Jinshu running away to other places.
If Ye Jinshu did not arrive at the Prime Minister's Mansion within the expected time, someone would naturally return to the palace to report the news.
Fortunately, this time Ye Jinshu really just went to find Jiang Sisi.
When she arrived, all the female members of the Prime Minister's Mansion came out to greet her. Jiang Sisi naturally stood at the front. It was obvious that she was the backbone of the entire family.
Jiang Sisi knew almost at the first sight of Ye Jinshu that Ye Jinshu had something important to discuss with her, otherwise she wouldn't have had this expression.
In order not to waste Ye Jinshu's time, she quickly drove away all the sisters and aunts who wanted to get close to Ye Jinshu, and brought Ye Jinshu to her boudoir. After making sure there were no extra ears around, she said, "Last time you acted like this, I thought you were reluctant to leave Ji Yanqing, but now it seems that's not the case. What happened to you?"
Hearing Jiang Sisi say this, Ye Jinshu knew that he had found the right person. It's you, after all! Sister Jiang!
"Sister Jiang" Ye Jinshu told her in detail all the discomforts she had felt in the palace during this period.
She could only feel that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out why. However, Jiang Sisi was different.
Jiang Sisi's ability to integrate and analyze information is impeccable.
Ji Yanqing's identity as a storyteller was enough for her to follow the clues to find out the true identity of the prince, not to mention that Ye Jinshu had almost exposed the abnormality.
After listening to what Ye Jinshu said, she did not rush to draw a conclusion, but first said to Ye Jinshu: "Jinshu, I must tell you one thing. Now your chance of becoming the Crown Princess is very small, and your situation is very dangerous."
Ye Jinshu herself knew that she was in danger. After all, she had to make way for Ye Ruoyan: "I know, I don't want to be the Crown Princess. I just want to know why, the reason why they did this."
Ye Jinshu's words were like a stone hitting Jiang Sisi's heart.
Jiang Sisi knew that Ye Jinshu had never had any ambitions, and even now that he was about to suffer a great injustice, all he wanted was the truth.
Jiang Sisi couldn't bear it: "Sometimes the truth is not pretty, but living in confusion can make you happy."
"Sister Jiang, I just want to know why."
She had lived in confusion for several lifetimes, and the funny thing was that she didn't realize it until this lifetime.
"Okay, I'll help you. Tell me everything you want to know, including Ye Ruoyan's affairs."
Jiang Sisi quickly discovered something abnormal about Ye Ruoyan.
"You mean that before the Empress took Ye Ruoyan into the palace, she was just kept alone in the villa, looked after by the servants of the Ye family?
"Yes."
"She said her medical skills were innate?"
Ye Jinshu thought for a moment and said, "She said she learned it from medical books."
