Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system
Chapter 221: Escaping from natural disasters and turning things around (20)
Shen Yao's cannon fodder theory successfully shut up the system, and both sides stopped talking.
When we returned to the courtyard, it was completely dark and the room was illuminated by candles.
The maid brought the basin of water and added a few words about the few people from the palace who came to visit the courtyard when Shen Yao was away.
"Yue'er is here?" Qi Yingyue, Qi Chen's concubine's daughter, is also the key figure that officially connects Shen Yao and Qi Chen.
The maid nodded and said that the princess was not feeling well and came here to ask the princess to help her find a doctor to diagnose and prescribe medicine.
Shen Yao was stunned when she heard this, "The doctor who treated her before was not suitable?"
That was the doctor that Qi Yingyue had agreed to keep. He was young and very capable, and he was not someone that Shen Yao had forced upon him.
Because of Qi Yingyue's physical condition, she moved around with the palace when she was almost recovered, which resulted in her vitality not recovering as smoothly as expected.
Qi Chen felt very guilty about this, and tried his best to meet Qi Yingyue's request.
Qi Yingyue has not been able to marry out of the palace until today. It's not because Qi Chen is unwilling, but because Qi Yingyue herself doesn't want to.
The maid shook her head, her tone puzzled, "The princess didn't say what the doctor was like."
I just wanted to get a new one, and even the doctor who used it originally didn’t say whether I should get rid of it.
Shen Yao:......
Shen Yao wiped her hands with a handkerchief, took the hand of her maid and went to eat at the Eight Immortals Table.
The sky is big and the earth is big, and eating is the biggest thing.
After a busy afternoon, her stomach was empty and the most important thing now was to fill it.
"Then let's find a new doctor according to the princess's request."
Anyway, the palace has many doctors, it’s just a matter of replacing one if one fails.
Shen Yao immersed herself in eating the delicious dishes and quickly forgot about the little episode with Qi Yingyue. However, she didn't expect that such a small incident would trigger a series of troubles later.
Only half a month had passed and the Chinese New Year was just around the corner. Shen Yao was really caught off guard.
The system did not react either. Everyone listened in confusion as the servants who had returned reported that Qi Yingyue had left home without permission and was nowhere to be found.
Shen Yao:......
"Go to the front yard and invite the prince over. Gather all the servants who serve the princess and take them down to interrogate them one by one."
With such a big mistake, it would be useless even if Shen Yao had an excuse.
It’s not that Qi Chen should blame herself. It’s because Qi Chen arranged all the people around Qi Yingyue, and Shen Yao was only responsible for some small matters.
But now that he is no longer in the palace, it would be useless to argue about some things.
Soon, Qi Chen came hurriedly from the front yard, and the first thing he said when they met was to hold Qi Yingyue's servants accountable.
They were all his chosen confidants, but in the end they were rejected by a delicate and frail little girl. It was such a huge shame!
Shen Yao held Qi Chen's body steady, fearing that he would faint from the shock.
He signaled the butler to go and interrogate the servants who had returned, and Qi Yingyue must be found as soon as possible.
"Your Highness, let's go back to the house first. Yingyue is a well-behaved child and she shouldn't go far."
Shen Yao carefully considered the tone of her voice, fearing that she might accidentally irritate Qi Chen again.
Qi Haochen also lay beside Qi Chen to comfort his old father's wounded heart.
Even the older Shen Cheng and Shen Shi have taken people out to look for her. In addition to Shen Ying who married into Dongchang Prefecture, Shen Yun and Shen Zhen are also with Shen Yao.
The family stayed in the room waiting for news, and the atmosphere inside was slightly stuffy.
Until footsteps were heard at the door, attracting the attention of everyone in the room.
Is this news already out?!
Got it, got it, and it’s good news. It can ensure Qi Yingyue’s personal safety.
However, whenever a word is followed by a "but", it means that things are going to be troublesome.
This time was no exception. Qi Yingyue did not run over by herself (her body could not leave the palace at all), but followed a man.
Snapped!
Qi Chen's eyes turned red with anger. Shen Yao looked at the broken jade pendant and quickly took the blame on herself.
"I know about the change of doctor, but I didn't expect Yingyue to have such intentions. I made a mistake because I didn't notice it. Please order the punishment, Your Majesty."
Shen Yao's quick and efficient success gave Qi Chen a way out.
But who is Qi Chen? In essence, he is still the master who holds the power of life and death.
"This matter has nothing to do with the princess." The doctor who took Qi Yingyue away was arranged by Qi Chen himself.
Turning around and hurriedly leaving the courtyard where Shen Yao was, Qi Haochen and the other children watched Qi Chen's back, and finally looked up at Shen Yao who had already stood up.
"Mother" and "Mother"
"Okay, don't say anything more about this matter. Just pretend you don't know."
Shen Yao stopped these people from probing, especially Qi Haochen, and said, "Don't ask your father. She is your sister no matter what."
Qi Haochen: ...
Qi Haochen curled his lips, thinking that Qi Yingyue and he were not siblings in any way. They had met no more than once in total, and were even strangers than strangers.
Finally, after responding with an "oh", Shen Yao continued to remind Shen Shi and others to do the same.
"They are not the only ones involved here. The prince is investigating with all his strength. No one can hide it."
Maybe the other party didn't want to hide it at all. When Qi Chen dug out the whole cause and effect of Qi Yingyue's incident, he was surprisingly calm.
Shen Yao:...Hmm?
Shen Yao was a little confused about Qi Chen. Wasn't he quite angry before? Why did he act like nothing happened now? You know, after Qi Yingyue was captured, she had been locked up in her own courtyard and bedridden.
She was really bedridden, without any moisture left, and her body was visibly deteriorating, even though Shen Yao had tried to treat her with pills.
In the end, the system stepped in and said directly that Qi Yingyue was so sad at such a young age and there was basically no hope for her.
Shen Yao was stunned when she heard the news. This was a diagnosis made by a young girl? Qi Yingyue was only twenty years old.
"Host, my diagnosis is correct. Qi Yingyue was born prematurely. Her body is very special."
In other words, if Qi Yingyue doesn't want to live, no elixir or magic medicine can save her.
"Your Majesty, you haven't had a drop of water in the past two days. You should drink some nourishing soup."
At least he can't ruin his health. Qi Haochen will go to Beijing after the New Year, and he needs Qi Chen to support his son in Changzhou.
Qi Chen glanced at the bowl of soup that Shen Yao brought over and waved his hand calmly, "No hurry, Yao'er, do you know why Yingyue is like this?"
Shen Yao shook her head innocently, but she could probably guess that it was because of love.
Qi Chen sneered, "Yeah, I guess my brothers are really cruel enough to plot against a little girl who can only stay in the back house and doesn't know anything about government affairs."
Qi Chen collected a pile of investigation evidence and handed it to Shen Yao. He dug up the doctor's family thoroughly, but ended up being in the dark.
"Prince Duan is ten years younger than me. He was safe in the capital because of my care."
Well, the result was that not only did this person not repay his kindness, but he also stabbed him hard.
Regarding the matter of Qi Yingyue, what Prince Duan wanted was to disgust him and also to divert his attention so as to target Qi Haochen.
Because Qi Chen discovered a spy that Prince Duan had planted for a long time next to Qi Haochen (in fact, Shen Yao had already known about it and dealt with it).
Adding all these things together, Qi Chen calmed down, like the type of person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
"What do you want to do, Your Majesty? Prince Duan's fiefdom is not far from Changzhou Prefecture."
Even the fiefs of Prince Duan and Prince Kang were adjacent to Changzhou Prefecture, otherwise those refugees would not have come to Changzhou Prefecture after being unable to enter the fiefs of both parties.
Qi Chen glanced at Shen Yao and said, "Treat them in their own way."
If Prince Duan wants to plot against his descendants, don't blame him for using the same tactics against you in return.
Since everyone is so dirty, let’s just play with it.
When Shen Yao mentioned Qi Yingyue's physical condition, the child became a little upset.
Qi Chen: …
Qi Chen showed his cold and ruthless side, "Let her recover on her own. If she really insists on doing so, then we can only say that we are not destined to be father and daughter."
Even if Qi Chen was beaten to death, he would never agree to his daughter's lifelong affair with a doctor.
Isn't that just slapping Qi Chen in the face every day, reminding Qi Chen that he doesn't judge people well, and allowing Prince Duan to mock him at will.
Just imagining that scene, Qi Chen felt short of breath and a tightness in his chest.
"Father is doing this to force my sister to death," Qi Haochen held his chin, even though he was not very familiar with this sister.
"It can save a person, but it cannot save his heart." The pills in Shen Yao's hand can save the body, but it cannot heal a heart that has already died.
Qi Yingyue is now living like a walking corpse. Shen Yao has talked to her privately several times, but with little effect.
Qi Haochen sighed like a villain, as if he really didn't understand what love and affection were all about. Is there anything more important than one's own life?
Why not persist while you are alive? There are so many beautiful things in the world.
"You are still young, so prepare for the New Year. You should behave well at your father's place recently."
Shen Yao reminded Qi Haochen to be more restrained so as to avoid making mistakes due to excessive joy.
Qi Haochen nodded, not forgetting to assure himself that he knew what was going on.
Although he is young, he is very smart. This trip to the capital is full of dangers and opportunities, so he must seize them.
……
Before you know it, another year has passed.
Qi Haochen is one year older, although his height and appearance have not changed much.
Just after the first month of the lunar year, Qi Chen led Qi Haochen on a journey to the capital.
Shen Yao, wearing winter clothes, watched Qi Chen and his son leave. When she turned back to the courtyard, she sighed with her maid, "It's been about a month since Yingyue left."
"Princess, please accept my condolences."
Shen Yao smiled and kept moving forward, "Follow me to light some incense."
He was also a child with a miserable life. He was involved in the royal family and did not have a good ending.
Qi Chen has already blamed Prince Duan for forcing Qi Yingyue to death.
When going to Beijing on this trip, Shen Yao knew without thinking how lively the capital would be.
The most ruthless imperial family.
The burning incense sticks exuded the scent of sandalwood. Shen Yao looked at Qi Yingyue's tablet and said that if she had an afterlife, she would never join the royal family.
It's enough to experience miserable days once. If it happens again, nothing can be changed.
