The commoners who were left behind could not help but worry when they saw this scene. It was not until they saw Xuanyuan Qi alight from the carriage to be examined that everyone was slightly relieved.
Since the emperor of a country followed the procedures, the others naturally had to follow. Empress Dowager Zhou was helped out of the carriage by Nanny Gao and Xuanyuan Ye.
When she walked up to Ji Luo, Empress Dowager Zhou paused and reached out with a complicated expression.
Ji Luo didn’t even look up. She took out a handkerchief and prepared to cover her wrist. Xuanyuan Ye took out her handkerchief and covered it first. When she met Ji Luo’s gaze, she explained, “I think many people have used Madam’s handkerchief before.”
Ji Luo reached out to check Empress Dowager Zhou’s pulse nonchalantly and said indifferently, “Indeed, the emperor used it just now.”
“What’s wrong? If the emperor can use it, why can’t Empress Dowager Zhou use it?” she thought.
Xuanyuan Ye’s face turned pale and she looked at Empress Dowager Zhou.
Empress Dowager Zhou glanced at her and knew that she was doing it for her. She did not criticize her and looked at Ji Luo.
“Phoenix City doesn’t lack a doctor like you. Leave with me.” As if feeling afraid that it would sound like she was concerned about Ji Luo, she added, “If you don’t leave, Xuanyuan Ce won’t leave the city either.”
Shen Yijia sneered. “Of course my mother isn’t the only doctor in Phoenix City. There are so many doctors in Phoenix City, but no one could save your son back then. My mother did it. What does that mean? It means that none of them are as capable as my mother.”
Empress Dowager Zhou frowned.
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Ye hurriedly advised, “Sister, Imperial Grandmother just worried about you. She doesn’t want you to…”
“Who’s your sister?” Shen Yijia was disgusted. She could not understand why Xuanyuan Ye had changed from a crazy dog to a little green tea b*tch in just a few days.
Xuanyuan Ye choked.
Empress Dowager Zhou also looked over unhappily.
Shen Yijia ignored her and turned to ask, “Mother, apart from me, do you have any other daughters?”
Ji Luo shook his head seriously. “No.”
“Did you hear that? We’re not related at all. Don’t treat a random person as your relative. ”
She did not hide the disdain on her face. Xuanyuan Ye bit her lower lip and lowered her head with red eyes.
“Alright, stop talking.” Empress Dowager Zhou glared at Shen Yijia.
It was unknown where this girl learned to speak so eloquently.
As expected, she did not grow up by her side. Even if they were related by blood, there was always a layer between them, making it impossible for her to get close to Shen Yijia.
Shen Yijia snorted and stopped talking.
After Empress Dowager Zhou finished checking, it was Xuanyuan Ye’s turn. It was only then that she suddenly remembered that it was up to Ji Luo to decide if she could leave the city.
If Ji Luo wanted to take revenge on her and say that she was sick..
Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Ye’s hand trembled.
She could clearly feel that her pulse had suddenly sped up at a certain moment. Guessing the reason, Ji Luo retracted her hand and drew a tick after Xuanyuan Ye’s name on the booklet.
The booklet recorded the names of all the people who had undergone inspection. It indicated that they could leave the city, and vice versa.
When Xuanyuan Ye saw the tick, she heaved a sigh of relief.
She retracted her hand and noticed the commoners looking over. She suddenly stood up and took two steps back. She bowed to the doctors sitting there and said with a pained expression, “I originally wanted to stay and do my best, but Grandmother is old. I’m really worried about her. Doctors, I’ll have to trouble you with the commoners in the city.” “Princess, we’ve been waiting for you. As doctors, this is what we should do.”
“That’s right. You’re too polite, Princess.”
Her words made the doctors, who were originally anxious, subconsciously straighten their backs. Their impression of her increased. Even the commoners praised the princess for being kind.
Empress Dowager Zhou nodded in relief.
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Ye wanted to say something.
Shen Yijia suddenly understood and said, “You mean Empress Dowager Zhou is interfering with your good deeds?”
Xuanyuan Ye choked. Did she understand her words that way? When she met Shen Yijia’s malicious eyes, an ominous feeling surged in her heart. She quickly denied it. “That’s not what I meant.”
Shen Yijia interrupted her. “The empress dowager doesn’t lack maidservants, right?”
Empress Dowager Zhou was stunned. She naturally did not lack palace maids to order her around. Moreover, Ye’er was not a servant. She did not need to serve anyone.
Xuanyuan Ye forced a smile. “Of course Grandmother doesn’t lack people to serve her. I’m just worried about her.”
“What’s going on?” Xuanyuan Qi asked when he saw that Empress Dowager Zhou’s carriage did not catch up.
Xuanyuan Ye hurriedly said, “Uncle Emperor, I’ve delayed everyone. I’ll help
Grandmother into the carriage now.”
Shen Yijia could not help but laugh. “Didn’t you just say that you wanted to stay in the city and do your best? Why are you in such a hurry?”
“Oh?” Xuanyuan Qi glanced sideways at Xuanyuan Ye, his eyes filled with surprise.
Well, he was a little relieved.
It seemed that after what happened to Madam Yu, this girl had grown up. Xuanyuan Ye froze. “I do have this thought, but Imperial Grandmother…”
Xuanyuan Qi waved his hand. “It’s a good thing that Ye’er has this intention. In that case, you can stay in the city. You don’t have to worry about Mother. With Nanny Gao around, nothing will go wrong.”
“Emperor.” Empress Dowager Zhou said disapprovingly. This plague wasn’t something to joke about.
“Mother, since Ye’er is a member of our Xuanyuan family, she should make a difference. This girl is sensible. We should support her.”
He was reminding Empress Dowager Zhou that if Xuanyuan Ye’s background was exposed one day, no one would look down on her on account of her heroic deeds.
Empress Dowager Zhou hesitated. She could still protect her when she was alive, but if she went to see the late emperor one day, Ye’er could only rely on herself.
Xuanyuan Qi was sincerely thinking about Xuanyuan Ye, but Xuanyuan Ye felt like a fishbone was stuck in her throat.
Seeing that Empress Dowager Zhou was so easily convinced, her face turned pale. She said calmly, “But Ye’er doesn’t know anything. Will I drag everyone down if I stay?”
Shen Yijia was overjoyed when she saw this. She said seriously, “My husband taught me that there’s nothing difficult in the world. Didn’t you say that you really want to do your best? Then are you afraid that you won’t be able to do it well? Besides, you don’t need to treat everyone. At most, you’ll cook and feed them medicine. You usually take care of the empress dowager, so you must have done these things a lot.”
She deliberately repeated what Xuanyuan Ye had said.
Xuanyuan Ye was furious and opened her mouth to say something.
Xuanyuan Qi narrowed his eyes. “Does Ye’er really want to stay and help?”
Xuanyuan Ye said, “Of course.”
Xuanyuan Qi nodded and said, “Then stay.”
“Nanny Gao, help the empress dowager into the carriage.” After instructing her, he did not say anything else and turned around to return to his carriage.
Xuanyuan Ye was about to cry. “Imperial Grandmother…”
She wanted to say that she didn’t want to stay at all, but the c praises entered her ears again. She couldn’t say anything.
Empress Dowager Zhou’s heart ached. “Silly girl, you don’t have to worry about Grandmother. You have to take good care of yourself in the city.”
Xuanyuan Ye secretly clenched her fists. “I understand. Imperial Grandmother, you have to take care of yourself.”
“Princess.” Bai Zhi alighted from the palace maid’s carriage and called out worriedly.
The carriages left the city one after another. After everyone finished the inspection, they looked at Xuanyuan Ye in admiration.
However, Xuanyuan Ye felt that they were gloating.
Meeting Shen Yijia’s half-smile, she gritted her teeth hatefully.
“Do you know what this is called?” Shen Yijia smiled.
She did not expect Xuanyuan Ye to answer and said, “It’s called digging your own grave.”
Ji Luo asked curiously, “What do you mean?”
“Yes.” Shen Yijia thought for a moment. “She wouldn’t be in this situation if she didn’t do unnecessary things.”
Xuanyuan Ye was speechless.
“Bai Zhi, let’s go..”
