Xue Fanxin could tell that Yu Yuefu was interested in Ye Jiushang. She gave her the feeling that she was a second Su Baifeng. She did not like her.
It did not matter though. Such a woman would never gain anything from Ah Jiu.
Without Ye Jiushang’s response, Yu Yuefu could only stand up by herself. No matter how displeased she was, she suppressed it and hid her emotions. She waited gently like a clear spring, noble and holy.
Among everyone present, only the empress knew Yu Yuefu the best. She was satisfied with her response. She took the initiative to speak and make her presence known.
“Ninth Lord, even the imperial physicians are helpless about Consort Dowager Jing’s illness. This girl is so young. Can she really treat her?”
“Does the empress have a problem with the person I brought?” Ye Jiushang’s tone carried displeasure and warning. He even released a trace of the pressure of an expert as punishment.
The empress was so suppressed by Ye Jiushang’s aura that she almost could not stand straight. If not for the maid supporting her, she would have dropped to the ground.
Ye Jiushang’s identity was special. Although he was only a lord of the Ye Dynasty and the ninth brother of the current emperor, the previous emperor had stated his intentions of passing the throne to him. Before his death, he even called the ministers of the court and repeated that Ye Jiushang would succeed to the throne.
Ye Jiushang did not follow his wishes. He handed the throne to the current emperor.
Not only that, but Ye Jiushang’s strength was also terrifying. He was the Palace Master of the Nine Cloud Palace… All kinds of reasons made the Ye Dynasty’s royal family afraid of him. The current emperor was no exception.
No one in the Ye Dynasty knew the ins and outs of this unfathomable Ninth Lord. They only knew that the outcome of provoking him would be tragic.
Ye Jiushang did not participate in court affairs. Unless provoked, he would not touch anyone. Over the years, the people of the Ye Dynasty and the ministers in the court learned to avoid him.
Nonetheless, human hearts were complicated and greedy. There were so many people in the Ye clan’s royal family. Coupled with the ministers, there were some people who had designs on him. However, it was very difficult for them to see him in person.
“Ninth Lord, you must be joking. How could I have any objections to the person you brought? I’m just curious. Is a little girl in the Spirit Transformation Realm comparable to the imperial physicians?” No matter how panicked and angry the empress was, she did not dare to show it. She spoke nicely, but she could not take this lying down, so she targeted Xue Fanxin.
If not for this brat, how could she have been targeted by Ye Jiushang?
Hence, it was all her fault.
Xue Fanxin was diagnosing Consort Dowager Jing. She had no idea that the empress disliked her. She could be shot even while lying down.
But so what?
She just had to do her job.
“Ah Jiu, Her Highness is just too weak. The supplements are taking a toll on her body, and it’s getting worse. I’ll give her a gentler prescription first and let her recuperate for a while. Then, I’ll treat her according to her condition.”
Yu Yuefu secretly laughed and mocked her. She’s just a useless little girl.
While she was snickering, what happened next shocked her.
