Chapter 65: No Brain, But Still Courageous

Ye Ruoyan had not come to Anping Palace on purpose, and she had no intention of causing trouble.

After receiving grace, she finally got the opportunity to escape from her current predicament, so naturally she was very concerned about it.

During this period, in order to make the clinic opened by Ye Ruoyan outside the palace famous, she launched an event that provided free treatment for common minor illnesses for half a month.

In the beginning, no common people were willing to come. It was not until the nobles who wanted to buy anti-poison sachets came deliberately to show their support in order to leave a good impression on Ye Ruoyan that Ye Ruoyan's clinic gradually became regular.

Many common people saw that many important people went to this clinic, and that minor illnesses were treated for free, so those who had some minor ailments went to Ye Ruoyan to try.

Ye Ruoyan was indeed a capable doctor, and she quickly gained a good reputation among the people. Gradually, in addition to treating some common illnesses, people also came to seek medical treatment for their chronic ailments.

These stubborn diseases could not be cured with current medical knowledge, but Ye Ruoyan was able to combine modern knowledge to prescribe the right remedy, and even alleviated the disease that the Shangshu's wife had been carrying since her mother's womb.

Since Ye Ruoyan's name spread in the imperial city in a very short time, Chu Yi had been staying outside the palace by Ye Ruoyan's side during this period in order to control the spreading trend.

During the busiest time, Chu Yi and Ye Ruoyan rarely returned to the palace and lived and ate in the clinic.

To explain why Chu Yi was like this, we have to talk about the agreement between them when Ye Ruoyan first sought refuge from Chu Yi.

Chu Yi provides shelter for Ye Ruoyan, and at the same time Ye Ruoyan will give half of all the achievements and praise she has made to Chu Yi.

This is also the reason why Chu Yi rushed to Ye Ruoyan's side when Ye Ruoyan began to emerge.

He had to at least show up and let the people know he was there, so that Ye Ruoyan could more naturally add his name next to the achievements she wrote about.

Ye Ruoyan insisted on letting Chu Yi stay outside the palace to accompany her, but she actually had her own considerations.

Although she was just a concubine's daughter, she was a member of the Ye family after all. Before she reached the age of 15, she had to live in the palace and grow up under the protection of the emperor and empress.

Although she proposed to open a clinic outside the palace this time based on her merits, the palace still sent guards to follow her.

In Ye Ruoyan's opinion, these guards said they were protecting her, but what they were actually doing was monitoring her.

She had seen the secret guards around Ye Jinshu. Those secret guards obeyed Ye Jinshu's orders and looked at Ye Jinshu with the same eyes as they looked at their master.

But the guards around her obviously didn't think so. Rather than viewing her as someone to be protected, they were more afraid that she would run away.

Keeping the prince by her side is also a means for Ye Ruoyan to check and balance these palace guards.

The reason she appeared in the palace today was because of the Queen's summons. Just in case, Ye Ruoyan deliberately let Chu Yi hear it when she was summoned by the Queen. Sure enough, Chu Yi personally said that he wanted to accompany her into the palace.

Before they reached the Queen's Palace, they met Xiao Cui on the road.

Seeing Xiao Cui's panic, Chu Yi stopped Xiao Cui and asked her if something had happened to Ye Jinshu.

Xiao Cui hesitated, and Chu Yi realized something was wrong. Seeing that the direction Xiao Cui was heading in was only the Imperial Hospital that might have intersections with Ye Jinshu, he sent someone to inform the Queen, and then took Ye Ruoyan straight to Anping Palace.

Chu Yi thought that Ye Jinshu was injured in a serious part of the body, and he was very familiar with Ye Ruoyan's medical skills. Sometimes even the imperial physician had to ask her for advice, so he hurriedly took Ye Ruoyan over.

Ye Ruoyan was rolling her eyes in her heart.

The dog prince clearly knew that she and Ye Jinshu did not get along, yet he brought her to Anping Palace and asked her to treat Ye Jinshu purely to disgust both of them.

Unexpectedly, when Ye Ruoyan followed Chu Yi to Anping Palace while chirping crickets, what she saw was not the scene of Ye Jinshu weakly waiting for treatment, but a scene of a handsome man and a beautiful woman showing deep affection to each other.

In an instant, Ye Ruoyan immediately became alert.

Ye Ruoyan had also heard of that handsome man, who was the gentleman who came to Anping Palace every day to write storybooks.

But can this story be written to the extent of physical intimacy with the princess?
As expected, the ancients knew how to play, and the unofficial history did not deceive me. Ye Ruoyan found that the man squatting in front of Ye Jinshu should have discovered them, but she didn't know why he didn't remind Ye Jinshu.

The prince, who had seemed a little panicked at first, immediately calmed down when he saw this scene in Anping Palace and just watched in silence.

Since no one was talking, Ye Ruoyan could only keep silent too.

It was the storyteller who finally broke the silence.

Ye Ruoyan had to admit that Mr. Huaben's voice was very nice, and a little bit pungent. When a man speaks like this, he has only one purpose, which is to seduce.

Ye Ruoyan secretly glanced at the prince's expression and found that although the prince did not show any expression, he must be furious.

Ye Jinshu is in trouble, and so is Mr. Huaben.

Even though Ye Ruoyan thought so, she really didn't expect Ye Jinshu to suddenly say that she wanted to marry a commoner.

She still remembered clearly how this woman had made things difficult for her because of the prince.

Seeing that the prince was about to explode, in order not to affect the effectiveness of the prince's use outside the palace, Ye Ruoyan could only speak out to remind Ye Jinshu that someone was coming and not to say anything else to provoke the prince.

Then time went back to when Ye Jinshu slowly moved his gaze and saw Chu Yi and Ye Ruoyan standing beside him.

No matter how dumb Ye Jinshu was, he knew that what he had just said was heard by the prince and Ye Ruoyan.

But what does it matter? She had no intention of continuing to be the Crown Princess. It would be nice if she could take this opportunity to break off the engagement with the Crown Prince, but the probability is that she cannot.

According to Ye Jinshu's experience, the engagement between her and the prince could only be cancelled if she was criticized by everyone.

"Brother Crown Prince, sister, do you like eavesdropping on other people's conversations so much?"

The anger in Chu Yi's heart rose up and was suppressed, then rose again. After a while, he controlled the emotions in his words and did not directly answer Ye Jinshu's question.

"I saw that someone in your palace seemed to have gone to find the imperial physician. I was afraid that something might happen to you, so I hurried over here with Ruoyan. Now that I see that you are fine, I feel relieved."

As Chu Yi spoke, he walked naturally to Ye Jinshu's side and took Ye Jinshu's hand from Ji Yanqing's.

Looking at the place where Ji Yanqing had just touched, Chu Yi stretched out his hand and gently rubbed Ye Jinshu's palm, and asked, "What's wrong with your hand?"

Ye Jinshu tried to pull his hand away, but it didn't move. He tried again, but failed again.

Chu Yi held Ye Jinshu's hand tightly and said calmly, "Jinshu, I'm a little unhappy now. Be obedient and don't make trouble."

"Now, answer my question, what happened to your hand?"

Ye Jinshu also became furious when she heard this. She was not someone who could tolerate being wronged in her life. Even if one of her hands was caught, she still had the other hand.

There was a snap.

Ye Jinshu used the trick of how to make a slap more painful and slapped the third lucky person, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"Brother Prince, as you can see, it's just that my hand hurt when I slapped someone."

Ye Ruoyan was stunned.

She used to think that Ye Jinshu was stupid, but now Ye Jinshu has become bolder despite being stupid.

Has turned into a madman.
