The carriage was silent. The bustling noise from the street entered the quiet carriage, making the place seem even stranger and quieter. Ning Yunxiao sat in the middle of the carriage, his expression calm and composed.
Ning Yunyin's gaze was clearly soft and gentle as it landed on Ye Jinsu's body, but it somehow made Ye Jinsu feel guilty.
"Tell me, what happened?" Ning Yunzhi softly spoke, breaking the silence.
Ye Jinxiu let out a hollow laugh and hesitated for a moment to think of a way to start the conversation.
"After all the high-profile things you've done, didn't you notice that I've been thoroughly targeted by those people? First it's esteemed imperial concubine, then it's your royal father, and now it's this Qi King. " Ye Jinsu spoke with a serious face.
"I think I'm in a very dangerous situation."
Ning Yunyin slightly frowned. He was the one who caused all this, so he couldn't shirk his responsibility.
"So you might as well expose yourself a little more?" Ning Yunyin frowned as she looked at Ye Jinsu, her tone unconsciously heavy. He tried hard to hide her, but she jumped out on her own accord.
"The problem is, even if I don't do anything, they'll come looking for me." Ye Jinsu sighed and said. Today, she was forced to stay even though she had just stepped out of the door. Yu Yao'er was also hinting at their relationship.
It was obvious that someone had their eyes on him.
"So you might as well do it thoroughly, and direct all the blame onto yourself?" Ning Yunyin asked again. Her voice was clear and cold, as if she was trying hard to suppress something. Her attitude was vastly different from before.
In front of Ning Yunqi, Ye Jinxiu was acting the part of a preposterous prince. It was as if she was making Ning Yunqi think that she was holding her own. If Ning Yunqi wanted to deal with him, all he needed to do was find her and break through.
Ning Yunyin couldn't hold back her anger. She rushed to get someone's attention. "Do you know what you're doing?
"Of course I know!" Ye Jinsu answered without hesitation, "Whether I do it or not, the blame will always be on me, right? Now I have only taken the initiative, I have become the man in the shadows. "
If she had guessed correctly, this Ning Yunqi would come looking for him in no time.
"You have no idea how dangerous it is!"
"I only know that sitting still is more dangerous." Ye Jinsu bit her lips and spoke with an expressionless face.
Ning Yunyin's tightly clenched fists loosened. The anger in her eyes turned complicated, surging with emotions that Ye Jinsu had never seen before. Ye Jinsu suddenly dodged his gaze in panic and tilted her head to the side.
"You don't have to." Ning Yun's hoarse voice sounded.
He wasn't stupid. There was no need for Ye Jinsu to do this to him. As long as she stayed as the young mistress of the Ye family and didn't have to contact him too much, she wouldn't be in any danger. However, she had chosen the most desperate path.
The biggest beneficiary of all was himself.
As the carriage jolted, Ye Jinxiu bit her lips, her gaze becoming increasingly afraid to look Ning Yunxiao in the eye.
The coachman stopped and spoke outside, "Prince, we have arrived at the Ye Residence."
As if he had received an amnesty, Ye Jinsu quickly got up and lifted the curtain, but was grabbed and stopped. "You …"
Before Ning Yunyin could finish her sentence, Ye Jinxiu had already thrown her hand away. Ye Jinsu pretended to be cold and said, "I owe you this."
After saying that, Ye Jinsu left the carriage as if she was escaping.
Ning Yunyin, who was still holding out her hand, clenched her fist and punched the carriage hard until her knuckles turned white.
Ye Jinsu stood in front of the steps and watched as the coachman drove the carriage away, disappearing from her sight. Ye Jinsu silently entered the mansion as a thin layer of frost covered her face. She couldn't lie to herself. She was doing this for Ning Yunxiao.
Not only to help Ning Yunyin deal with Ning Yunqi, but also to help her get what she wanted.
His journey had been too smooth, too flamboyant, and all that had been placed on him was countless praises. He was too dazzling, so dazzling that he was clearly the youngest of all the princes, yet he was more outstanding in every aspect than his older brothers.
So dazzling that even the Emperor couldn't help but feel fear.
Ning Yunyin needed a stain on his face to be able to stand firm in this part of the capital.
She didn't mind being the stain.
Waves of cold wind blew through the courtyard. The sunny day had finally turned chilly in the evening. The north wind, which had been common throughout the winter, whistled through every household.
Ye Jinshu hurried back to the Wutong Courtyard with his clothes on. Unsurprisingly, he saw Meng Lan and Xiao Hong waiting for him. The two of them let out a sigh of relief when they saw Ye Jinsu return safely.
Ning Wang made them wait in the courtyard. After waiting for so long, they had finally gotten anxious.
"Miss, you're worried me to death." Xiao Hong said with fear still lingering in her heart.
Ye Jinsu smiled with relief. She concealed what had happened today and said, "Aren't I fine?"
"But I've been delayed outside for an entire day, is there any activity in the mansion?" Ye Jinsu changed the topic and asked.
"It's nothing much. Master sent a few doctors over to Second Miss' place. They left a while ago." Xiao Hong was indignant. Ye Jingru had been punished by Ye Ling, but she had never been so concerned about Ye Ling. She had been punished a lot in the past, and Ye Jingru had never been so concerned about her.
The moment Little Red spoke, she reminded Ye Jinxiu. Ye JinRu endured the humiliation and received her punishment. She should be lying on the bed pretending to be pitiful.
"Go find Meng Lan and get her the medicine that the imperial physicians gave her." Ye Jinsu said blandly.
Xiao Hong's eyes opened slightly. "Miss, that was a secret medicine personally concocted by the imperial palace's imperial physician. We only have that bottle left. It was originally prepared for Miss. "
How could he give it to Ye Jingru?
"It's just a bottle of medicine. If there's nothing else, just bring it over." Ye Jinxiu said indifferently. If she wanted more, she could just ask Ning Yunyin.
She was the one who made Ye Jingru suffer this punishment, causing him to do evil. He had to spend a small price to regain the impression he had of Ye Zhenzheng in his heart. Ye Jinru was crying again in front of Ye Shisui, his words implying that she was vicious.
She had never seen anything more vicious.
Xiao Hong pouted with a look of unwillingness. Seeing that Ye Jinsu was adamant, she angrily ran over to take out the medicine. Just by thinking about it, Xiao Hong didn't think that it was worth it to give such a precious medicine to Ye Jingru.
After handing the medicine over to Wen Yuan, Xiao Hong still had a face full of indignation.
Wen Yuan was still standing by Ye Jinru's side. Day and night, he was like a hard thorn that was stuck in Ye Jinru's throat. However, she couldn't spit out that thorn, nor could she swallow it.
Ye Jinsu looked at Ye Jinru, who was lying on the bed, and looked at her wound. The steward did have some skill. The wounds were not broken, but they were all swollen. It seemed like they had been suffering for quite some time.
"Sister is recuperating from her injuries. I'm afraid that these quack doctors will disturb my sister's recovery, so I brought along some good medicine from the imperial palace." Ye Jinsu said.
She opened the jar and took out some ointment, "Big sister will give it to little sister for her to try."
However, before his hand could reach Ye Jinxiu's back, it was violently opened by Ye JinRu, and she even threw the medicine on the ground.
"You wicked woman! Who wants to use your medicine! "
Did she not know what Ye Jinsu was thinking? Was he trying to poison her with a fake medicine?
