Chapter 684 Hidden Disease

The princess and her friends didn’t stay at Ruan’s house for long. They chatted in the warm pavilion for a while and then went back to their houses. Mrs. Tao, her daughter and other female relatives stood at the door to see them off warmly.

When they returned to the princess’s house, she said lightly: “Go and find out why the Ye family wants to marry Qingling.”

“Yes.”

The shadow guard was very efficient.

After the princess gave the order, she only rested for a while and drank a cup of tea when she returned to the house. The person who was ordered to investigate the case came back, kneeling in front of her in black clothes: “Young Master Ye has a hidden illness.”

The princess was surprised and almost spit out the tea in her mouth.

She looked at the calm man in front of her in astonishment: “Hidden illness?”

The shadow guard’s name is Yinfeng, which is a new name given by the princess after he woke up. It represents a new life - a new life for two people.

The name doesn’t have any special meaning. I just think it sounds good and call it casually.

The shadow guard, who is in his thirties this year, can no longer compare to his golden age in terms of physical strength - of course, only compared to his previous golden age. The shadow guards who have been trained for a long time are still strong and cannot be underestimated even if their physical strength has deteriorated. Ordinary warriors are not his opponents at all, and they are more than enough to protect the princess.

In addition to physical strength, their age is no longer suitable for romance. After years of wind and rain, quiet companionship is the most suitable way for them.

The princess likes the feeling of being with him, enjoying the unconditional obedience of such a person around her, and the appearance is also pleasing to the eye. The most important thing is that he will not have any other thoughts, clean and pure, without so many tricks, and it is worry-free to get along with him.

This person does not even have strong seven emotions and six desires, and rarely expresses his thoughts actively.

"Mr. Ye has a hidden disease, and dare not tell others, so he wants Miss Qingling to marry him, and plans to kill her after curing the hidden disease."

The simple and neat two sentences explained all the reasons, without emotional ups and downs, just stating the facts.

However, these two simple sentences made the princess' face turn cold: "Silence?"

"Yes." Yin Feng nodded, "Most of the female doctors who came out of the palace are proficient in diseases that are difficult to talk about, and treating hidden diseases is no problem. Master Ye doesn't want people to know that he has a hidden disease, so he is planning to take advantage of Miss Qingling."

Yin Feng explained as much as possible - he used to be taciturn and didn't say a word all day. Occasionally, he needed to report serious matters, but he didn't say more than two sentences. There were few times when he had to explain like this.

Now he has learned to express himself with words around the princess. I don't know if he is worried that the master won't understand, or he doesn't want the master to waste too much time thinking. Every time he is asked about something, he always subconsciously explains a few more sentences.

Gradually, it became a habit.

The princess looked ugly, and a cold look appeared between her eyebrows. She didn't speak for a long time.

Yin Feng lowered his eyebrows and was silent for a while. Feeling the master's displeasure, he turned around and took the tea set without saying a word, and skillfully boiled water and brewed tea.

The princess looked up and saw Yinfeng fiddling with the teacup, waiting for the water to boil. The man's sharp features should have been as sharp as a knife, but he looked submissive and obedient because of his focused posture with his eyebrows lowered.

The princess leaned against the railing and watched quietly, her emotions slowly calming down.

Yinfeng's tea-making skills are good, and every move is as pleasing to the eye as flowing clouds and water. In the past few months, he has often shown his skills, and his calmness gives people a feeling of living in seclusion in the mountains away from the world.

The princess watched his movements quietly, but she already understood the Ye family's plan in her heart. Yinfeng actually said it clearly enough. The son of the Ye family has a hidden illness but is ashamed of it, so he has not sought a doctor so far.

Because he does not believe that the doctor will help him keep the secret, or even if the doctor can help him keep the secret, there is still one person in the world who knows that he once had a hidden illness - the doctor is a living person, and silencing him without authorization is a crime of murder.

If Qingling, the concubine of the Ruan family, was married as a dowry with the legitimate daughter, then this concubine would naturally become the concubine of the Ye family's son. Since she was a concubine, there was no need to care about the difference between men and women when treating illnesses.

Moreover, in many people's minds, concubines were men's private property and could be disposed of at will. Therefore, after Qingling was married, even if she cured Mr. Ye's hidden illness and was killed, no one would investigate the cause of her death.

It seemed very casual, but it was actually a perfect plan.

If Qingling had not had feelings for Chu Nanyi, if Qingling had not been taken into the palace by the princess because of her young age, and later arranged to serve Nanxi in the palace, if Nanxi had not liked to be a matchmaker and liked to grant marriages to let lovers finally get married, or if Chu Nanyi was not the confidant of the regent, Qingling's marriage would not be enough for Her Majesty the Queen to intervene.

Then in the end, Qingling, this beautiful girl, would probably really be sold to the Ye family by her inhumane stepmother because of the extra betrothal gift from the Ye family, and then quietly disappear one day in a conspiracy that she didn't even know about.

The water boiled.

The steam curled up, blurring the sharp eyebrows and eyes. It was really pleasing to watch Yinfeng brew tea. The princess didn't say anything, just watched quietly until a cup of tea was presented in front of her.

She reached out to take it, and said in a faint voice: "I'm used to drinking the tea you brew, and my mouth has been spoiled."

"Your Highness likes it, and I will brew it for you every day."

The princess took a sip of tea and smiled gently: "Then brew it for a lifetime."

For a lifetime.

Yinfeng lowered his eyebrows, and a silent throbbing surged in his heart: "Yes."
