Chapter 139 Countdown!

With Ye Jinshu's reminder, the secret guards held their breath and carried Ye Ruoyan out of her residence.

Afterwards, Ye Jinshu arranged for people to keep Ye Ruoyan where she was, and instead asked the fastest secret guard to go to the Imperial Hospital to invite the imperial physician.

I heard that in order to arrive as quickly as possible, the secret guards carried the imperial physician on their shoulders and used light skills to transport him over.

Perhaps it was because the secret guard brought the imperial physician over too quickly. The imperial physician was still a little confused when he just got down from the secret guard's back. It was not until he saw Ye Ruoyan lying on the ground that the imperial physician's eyes instantly became clear from confusion.

"Greetings to Princess Anping!" Even if the imperial physician was confused, he knew to pay his respects to Ye Jinshu first.

But Ye Jinshu stopped the doctor: "Don't go through all that formality, let Ye Ruoyan have a look, she looks like she's dying."

The imperial physician then quickly got up from the ground and replied to Ye Jinshu: "Yes!"

The imperial physician began to examine Ye Ruoyan according to the procedure. The more he examined, the more solemn his expression became.

After a while, the imperial physician took out a needle from his bag and pricked Ye Ruoyan's hand a few times. Then he reported to Ye Jinshu that although the poison in Ye Ruoyan was not strong, it was very difficult to cure.

Rather than saying it is a poison, it is more like a drug with anesthetic properties.

However, this anesthetic drug is mixed with many things and has a strong anesthetic effect, making it difficult for people to wake up easily.

When Ye Jinshu heard the imperial physician's explanation, he suddenly remembered that he didn't feel anything when he died in his previous life. He thought it was probably because of this thing.

Powerful anesthetics, as well as some hallucinogenic drugs added to them, allow people to die in an ideal way.

Originally, Ye Jinshu thought that Ye Ruoyan developed that poison in order to kill her without leaving any trace, but now, looking at Ye Ruoyan's weak breath, she suddenly changed her mind.

With the help of the secret guards, Ye Ruoyan was quickly sent to the palace. After the emperor and empress learned about this, they sent all the experienced doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau to help.

The imperial doctors gathered around Ye Ruoyan for two days of research before they found a way to neutralize the drugs in Ye Ruoyan's body, but they could only neutralize part of it and could not completely remove it.

There was nothing wrong with Ye Ruoyan's body. She looked weak at first only because she had been in a coma after inhaling the drugs and had not eaten, which was why she looked so weak.

In the next few days, the imperial doctors found a way to feed Ye Ruoyan some food, and Ye Ruoyan's complexion finally looked better.

There were only a few days left for Ye Jinshu to get married. The emperor and empress used these days to match her horoscopes with Ji Yanqing and prepare her dowry.

Ye Jinshu had originally planned to use this time to persuade Ye Ruoyan, thinking that if the two of them could reach an agreement, then when she left, she would convince Ji Yanqing to take Ye Ruoyan with him.

But now something unexpected happened.

Not only did she not have the chance to talk things out with Ye Ruoyan, but Ye Ruoyan also committed suicide.

Ye Jinshu couldn't figure out why Ye Ruoyan committed suicide. Usually when she encountered such things, she would ask Jiang Sisi and Ji Yanqing.

But now Ye Jinshu and Ji Yanqing are before getting married. According to the custom of Chen Kingdom, there is no way for the two to meet before the wedding. Ye Jinshu can only invite Jiang Sisi into the palace.

As soon as Jiang Sisi saw Ye Jinshu, she knew what she wanted to ask.

"Princess, I know what you want to ask. Let's find a place where there is no one."

Ye Jinshu nodded and took Jiang Sisi to his room.

Even in the room, Jiang Sisi was very careful and did not speak loudly. Instead, she leaned close to Ye Jinshu and whispered, "Little Princess, Ji Yanqing and I believe that the Queen took Ye Ruoyan away that day and told her the truth. Ye Ruoyan could not bear the truth so she committed suicide."

Ye Jinshu didn't understand: "Hasn't she become the Crown Princess?" Ye Jinshu didn't finish her words because she suddenly remembered what she saw in her memory. Ye Ruoyan killed everyone, handed over the country, and then traveled around.

What Ye Ruoyan really wants is...
"Ye Ruoyan pursues her ideal, and becoming a Crown Princess is just a stepping stone for her to realize her ideal. When she finds out that even becoming a Crown Princess is just an illusion, it's not surprising that she would make this choice." Jiang Sisi said.

"But there is another problem. The drugs that Ye Ruoyan used to commit suicide this time seemed to have been prepared a long time ago. This means that Ye Ruoyan had already made up her mind to die several times before she knew the truth."

Ye Jinshu was silent.

She suddenly realized a problem.

Just as she thought at the beginning, why did Ye Ruoyan use such a poison to kill her?
If Ye Ruoyan really hated her in her previous life, she could have poisoned her to death with a more torturous poison. After all, Ye Ruoyan possessed the ability to eliminate the entire royal family of Chen State, and using such a mild poison would not help vent her anger at all.

But if that is the case, this poison was originally created for the purpose of relief.

Did Ye Ruoyan use this carefully prepared medicine that could allow one to die peacefully in a hallucination on Ye Jinshu in order to help her get relief?
If that was the case, Ye Jinshu felt that she was being a little unnecessary.

She clearly didn't live enough in her previous life, so why did Ye Ruoyan end her life like this!

But all of this can only be known when Ye Ruoyan wakes up.

Ye Jinshu was a little worried: "Sister Sisi, do you think Ye Ruoyan will be able to wake up before I get married?"

Jiang Sisi pondered for a moment and replied, "There are few things in this world that I don't know, but this one, I really don't know."

Ye Jinshu:
Fortunately, the Imperial Hospital has learned a lot of knowledge from Ye Ruoyan in recent days. Although they were a little at a loss about the medicine Ye Ruoyan took at the beginning, after knowing why Ye Ruoyan couldn't wake up, they quickly found a solution.

It took another two days for the medicine prepared by the imperial physician to neutralize most of the medicinal properties in Ye Ruoyan's body, and Ye Ruoyan finally woke up.

Although Ye Ruoyan woke up, she became abnormal.

She always did some incredible things, such as not letting the servants kneel down, saying that everyone is equal, which scared the servants who served her.

Ye Ruoyan had lost her memory. She could not remember what had happened in the palace. In her opinion, she had no recollection that she was originally a concubine of the Ye family, nor did she remember the years she had spent in the palace. She even forgot the grudge between her and Ye Jinshu.

When Ye Jinshu went to look for Ye Ruoyan, he saw Ye Ruoyan educating the eunuchs in her palace: "Eunuchs are also human beings. I will never allow you to despise yourself."

Ye Jinshu suddenly remembered that in Ye Ruoyan's memory, she seemed to have done something similar.

She told the personal maid who took care of her that she didn't need to greet her in private. She treated the maid as someone of the same status as her and asked her to sit at the table and eat with her. However, this behavior made the maid say behind her back that she was of low descent and that was why she was willing to eat at the same table with servants.

And now, she seems to be facing the same situation again.

The eunuch she protected not only did not thank her, but he knelt down and begged: "Crown Princess, please forgive me, Crown Princess, your body is not well yet, you can't walk outside all the time."

Ye Ruoyan insisted, "You two should stand up and talk first."

After he finished speaking, the servant in front of him did not stand up.

Ye Ruoyan's expression also showed a little helplessness.

Ye Jinshu's heart was calm. She couldn't tell whether Ye Ruoyan was acting or not, but she still stepped forward and said, "All of you go down. I'll take the Crown Princess in."

Only after the servants saw Ye Jinshu speak did they finally stand up from the ground, bow and retreat.

Ye Ruoyan looked at the scene in front of her, and her eyes became even dimmer.
