Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Chapter 711 Announcement (Second Update)

"Oh! Lord Fan—"

Upon seeing this, Eunuch Li subconsciously looked at Emperor Mu Wu.

"Your Majesty, it seems that Lord Fan has fainted."

Emperor Muwu waved his hand, "Summon the imperial physician."

Eunuch Li understood immediately; he realized that this meant he didn't intend to let Fan Chengzhuo go back.

He immediately and respectfully agreed.

Zheng Baosu also became anxious. He had finally found a lifeline, but before he could do anything, the person had already fainted.
How...how can we save him?!
"Uncle! Uncle!"

He struggled to get over, but the guards held him down firmly, preventing him from moving.

Xie Anjun breathed a sigh of relief, but feigned concern and anxiety. "Why did Lord Fan faint? What if... what if something happens to him?"

Xie Anbai finally glanced at him and said indifferently, "His Majesty has already summoned the imperial physicians, so there shouldn't be any problems. But... Marquis Zhongyong just said that he wasn't close to Lord Fan Chengzhuo, so why is he in such a hurry now?"

"You—" Xie Anjun choked, angrily flung his sleeves, and put on a righteous and stern look, "No matter what, we served in the same court, so there must be some affection between us. If I were to remain indifferent to his actions, wouldn't that be too cold-hearted and heartless?"

Xie Anbai seemed to have heard something amusing, and a slight, mocking smile appeared on his lips.

"Oh? It seems I misunderstood the loyal and righteous Marquis?"

He pronounced the words "loyal and righteous" deliberately in a soft and clear voice.

Xie Anjun's expression instantly turned ugly.

Who in the entire capital didn't know that he and Xie Anbai had long since broken ties? After Xie Pei's death, he successfully inherited the title, and the first thing he did was to drive Xie Anbai out of the Xie family.

How can someone who would do such a thing to their own brother be called "loyal and righteous"?
Was Xie Anbai's statement a deliberate implication that his relationship with Fan Chengzhuo was unusual?
Normally, Xie Anjun would have already reprimanded him, but since they were in the Qiyuan Hall, even if he had the greatest courage, he wouldn't dare to cause trouble here.

The only thing we can do is ignore it!

However, Xie Anbai seemed to have no intention of stopping at all.

He glanced at Fan Chengzhuo, who was lying on the ground, blood gushing from his mouth and eyes closed, cupped his hands in greeting, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, Lord Fan's condition does not look optimistic. If we could invite Miss Ye to come, perhaps she could offer some help?"

Xie Anjun was stunned for a moment before realizing what Xie Anbai was talking about.

Miss Ye the Second?

He actually wants to invite Ye Chutang over!?
For some reason, Xie Anjun felt a strong sense of unease as soon as he heard the name.

The calm and composed demeanor of the young girl he had met at the Xie family home was etched deeply into his mind like a brand.

If Ye Chutang really comes... who knows if there will be any unexpected complications?

Xie Anjun immediately objected, "His Majesty has already summoned the imperial physicians. Could it be that... you don't trust the officials of the Imperial Medical Academy?"

Xie Anbai said, "I believe everyone in the capital has heard of Miss Ye's medical skills. Even His Majesty trusts her greatly. Inviting her here now is an extra layer of protection, isn't it? Why does Marquis Zhongyong seem so averse to this matter?"

"I don't!"

Xie Anjun was so angry that his head ached, and he nervously glanced up at the ceiling.

Everyone knows that Ye Chutang saved Emperor Muwu's life, so how dare he slander her to her face?
"I just feel that this is making a mountain out of a molehill—"

“How can this be considered making a mountain out of a molehill?” Xie Anbai interrupted him. “Firstly, Lord Fan is an official appointed by the imperial court. Secondly, his relationship with Zheng Baosu is extraordinary. Perhaps we can get some useful clues from him. In any case, we need to save his life first. Could it be that in the eyes of the Marquis of Zhongyong, there is a more suitable candidate than Miss Ye Er?”

"I--"

Xie Anjun was speechless, filled with resentment!

Xie Anbai had been quick-witted and eloquent since childhood, able to argue even when he was wrong! He had never been able to out-argue him, but in the past, he could still gain the upper hand as the elder brother, but now...

Sensing the heavy and serious atmosphere around him, Xie Anjun could only swallow his anger.

"That's not what I meant!"

Emperor Muwu pondered for a moment and nodded. "Anbai is right. In that case, someone go and invite Chutang to the palace."

Eunuch Li immediately responded, "Yes."

Emperor Mu Wu tilted his head and coughed softly twice.

"I am tired. It's not too late to talk after Chu Tang arrives and sees Fan Chengzhuo's condition."

Xie Anjun was stunned.

This means that Emperor Muwu actually intends to suspend the interrogation and wait for Ye Chutang to arrive!?
"Your Majesty, how can this be—"

Xie Anjun instinctively objected, but before he could finish speaking, he was met with a faint glance from Emperor Muwu.

"What, does the Marquis of Zhongyong think it's inappropriate?"

Xie Anjun felt a sudden chill run down his spine!
He was stiff all over and spoke with difficulty, "Your Majesty's health is of utmost importance."

Emperor Mu Wu then withdrew his gaze, and with the help of Eunuch Li, got up and left to rest in a side hall.

Soon, the hall fell silent again.

The scene was absurd and laughable.

—The space above was empty, with only Zheng Baosu kneeling there dumbfounded, Zhao Zhe looking lost and disoriented, and Xie Anjun and Xie Anbai standing on either side of him in the huge hall.

Of course, there was also Fan Chengzhuo, who was unconscious.

Seeing this scene, Xie Anjun was at a loss for what expression to make.

How...did it turn out like this?!
Xie Anbai looked relaxed.

Xie Anjun looked left and right, filled with unease.

He couldn't guess why Xie Anbai suddenly suggested inviting Ye Chutang over, but he knew they were in cahoots!

If Ye Chutang were to come, I wonder... what would happen?
Panic, tension, trepidation... Xie Anjun's emotions surged, and in the end, he could only look at Fan Chengzhuo and Zheng Baosu again.

If these two people died right here... wouldn't all the problems be solved?!

……

When Ye Chutang received the news, she had just finished drying and packing the last piece of Eucommia ulmoides.

She wiped her hands, and when she turned around, her dark, clear eyes still held a hint of surprise.

"Lord Fan has fainted?"

The palace maid who rushed over wiped the sweat from her forehead. "Yes! It is said that she suddenly vomited blood and fainted in front of His Majesty! His Majesty has already summoned the imperial physician to Qiyuan Hall, but he is still worried and wants to ask Miss Ye to go and take a look as well."

Ye Chutang suddenly realized and nodded slightly.

"What a coincidence! I just examined Lord Fan a few days ago and have some understanding of his condition. Since I have nothing to do at home, let's go now."

As she spoke, she turned slightly to the side and waved to Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu immediately put down the book in her hand, ran over to take the Eucommia ulmoides that she had packed, and put it into the corresponding medicine compartment.

—Luckily, my sister only posted this many things today, and the timing was just right!
