Chapter 17 (1/2)

Although there were many servants in the Rong-an Wang-fu and Ye Xiang is quite wild outside, but when inside the manor he liked it quiet, and so, the servants in the manor knew not to be loud and cause commotions, each doing their own things. Most of the times, the large Wang-fu was very quiet.

After the servant left, Ye Xiang did not leave the room. He rested on the mattress. The robe on the table was also not stored away.

The sunray came through the window and onto the bright red brocade clothing reflecting flashes of bright reflections, making the already bright room more gleaming. Even the color of Ye Xiang’s outfit became brighter.

After an hour, the housekeeper came to ask, “Shi-zi, the Jingyang-Hou-Manor’s 3rd Gong-si sent someone to ask if the Lion is better? Asked if you can return to Guo-yue Tower yet?”

Ye Xiang turned his glance towards outside, lazily said, “You go return words, the lion is still not well, I’m in no mood, so will not be going back, tell them to have fun by themselves.”

The housekeeper nodded and turned to leave.

Ye Xiang turned towards the robe on the table, holding a look of concentration for a moment before calling towards outside, “Qian Han.”

“Shi-zi.” Qian Han pushed open the door and stepped in.

Ye Xiang pointed to the table, “Put it away.”

Qian Han nodded, carefully folding up the robe and paying careful attention while wrapping it side the parcel. Put it into the closet and putting on a gold lock.

Ye Xiang rubbed the center of his eyebrow, “These few days have the Palace been action packed?”

Qian Han shook his head, saying quietly, “Since the Su Manor Young Lady went to the Palace, the Queen is still being locked up for reflection by the Emperor. The Empress Dowager also did not help the Queen this time and just let the Emperor punish her. The Crown Prince is sick again and Consort Yue has been taking care of him day and night, not daring to rest. Since the Emperor came to our manor that day, after returning to the Palace has not went to see the Crown Prince. Only instructing the Imperial Doctors to diagnosis and use prepare medicine. These ten some days the Palace has been very peaceful.

Ye Xiang put down his hand, “How about Xu Yun Chu? What has he been doing these few days?”

Qian Han glanced at him and said, “Yesterday Lady Xu’s old symptoms surfaced again, Xiao Guo-jiu brought her to Lingyun Temple. It seems today they have not arrived yet.”

“Oh?” Ye Xiang squinted his eyes.

Qian Han stared at him, lowering his voice, “I heard that the Guo-zhang Manor’s Camwood1 are all used up. Xiao Guo-jiu had no options so can only take her to ask help from Lingyun Da-shi2.”

Ye Xiang’s expression was ordinary, “Lingyun3 can find a solution?”

Qian Han said, “These years, Lingyun Da-shi has been closing off himself isolating himself behind lose doors to study the skills of healing. He has come out from isolation just not too long ago. Shi-zi has not been to Lingyun Temple for a year already, so perhaps Lingyun Da-shi already found a solution.”

Ye Xiang laughed, unable to hear his emotions from it.

Qian Han watched him, testing, “It’s almost the Duke and Duchess’ memorial, when is Shi-zi planning to go to Lingyun Temple? Each year Shi-zi goes with Mo-Mo, but this year Mo-Mo has gone with the Wang Manor’s Madam and the Su Manor’s Young Lady.”

Ye Xiang stiffened his eyebrow, “I actually forgot, they also went to Lingyun Temple today.

Qian Han nodded, “They left not too long ago. I have checked, only Madam Wang, Mo-Mo, Lady Su, and also bringing along some guards. No one else, even Madam Su did not follow.”

Ye Xiang took a look outside the window and instructed, “Prepare the carriage, bring the Xiao-Shi4. We are heading for Lingyun Temple immediately.”

Qian Han nodded and then said, “How about over at Gua-yue Tower…..?”

“If they send someone to ask, say that Xiao Shi is very sick, only Lingyun Da-shi can save him.” Ye Xiang gestured him off.

Qian Han nodded and quickly went off to prepare the carriage.

After half an hour, Ye Xiang brought with him, Xiao Shi, Da Bai5, Qian Han, and some guards, and left the Rong-an Wang-fu and out the Imperial City.

Up in the Gua-yue Tower, Qi Shu casually turned around and saw, exclaiming, “Hey, you all come see quickly, that’s the Rong-an Wang-fu carriage right?”

Ten some people turned to look out the window at the same time.

Shen Qi thought it strange and said, “It seems they are heading out the city? Isn’t Xiao Shi sick? Where is Ye Xiang going?”

“Come! Quickly go downstairs and chase up to him and ask.” Qi Shu quickly ordered someone.

A servant quickly ran downstairs and chase after the Rong-an Wang-fu’s carriage.

The carriage in front did not stop because there was someone chasing after them. A guard with the group answered them.

That person quickly went back upstairs to report back, “Gong-zi, they say that Ye Shi-zi’s lion is very sick, only Lingyun Da-shi of Lingyun Temple can heal it. Ye Shi-zi is in a rush to take the lion to Lingyun Temple.

Everyone finally understood what it was about.

Qi Shu sighed, “Lingyun Temple is 50 miles always from the Imperial City. Can’t say it’s far or close. Ye Xiang is also a lazy person, bringing the lion there now likely he would not be coming back to the Imperial City before his parent’s memorial.”

Shen Qi sighed, “Today is my birthday, really human is less than an animal, he is not spending my birthday with me, but accompanying an animal to see the doctor.”

Qi Shu laughed, “You really are less than an animal.”

Shen Qi reached out to give him a fist, turned back to say to the rest, “He goes his way, we continue our fun. I’m telling you all, no ends until we finish up all the good alcohols today.”
