Chapter 205 The headache of Xiao Yi
When the defeated Xiao Yi saw that Zhou Wuwei won the first place, his face became as ugly as it could be.
Before the competition, he always thought that his biggest opponent should be Shi Bin. He even studied Shi Bin's fighting style. However, after all his efforts, he got nothing in return.
"Go back to the palace."
Xiao Yi lost the competition, so naturally he was not in the mood to continue joining in the fun. He turned around and prepared to leave the competition arena with his servant.
"My Lord, shall we go back to the palace now?"
Xiao Yi, who was walking quickly, paused for a moment. For some reason, some chaotic voices flashed through his mind. He rubbed his forehead and spoke after a long while, "Why go back to the palace? I've fought so many battles and I'm exhausted. I need to find a place to relax and unwind."
Without Xiao Yiming saying anything, the servant beside him understood where he wanted to go at the moment.
However, the servants were a little worried, fearing that Xiao Yi would go out to play for too long and that the Princess of Qi would blame them when he returned.
So someone reminded, "Your Highness, the princess has been feeling unwell these days, Your Highness, please go back early."
"When did you become the princess's man? If the princess is unwell, she can go find the imperial physician. What does this have to do with me?"
Xiao Yi was too lazy to pay attention to the servant and got into the carriage and left. As for what happened to Ye Yanran, he didn't care at all.
At this moment, Ye Yanran was in Prince Qi's mansion, anxiously waiting for news from the South Camp.
In order to help Xiao Yi win, she had put in a lot of effort, and today was finally the day to reap the rewards. Ye Yanran was pregnant and a little anxious.
"Your Majesty, please sit down and rest for a while. The prince will surely return victorious today."
Madam Yao poured Ye Yanran a cup of pregnancy-maintaining tea and told her to stay calm.
The weather was already hot and she was pregnant. If she became overly anxious, it might be bad for the child.
"I can't sit still."
Ye Yanran held her waist and couldn't help but send the maid beside her to see outside to see if the person who delivered the letter had returned.
She was just getting anxious when she heard hurried footsteps outside the courtyard gate and a servant hurriedly ran into the yard.
"My queen, there is news from the South Camp."
"Well, the prince has won the championship."
Ye Yanran's heart was pounding. This first place was so important to Xiao Yi and to her.
"The prince only made it to the ninth round and lost to Zhou Wuwei."
The servant knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe, for fear of angering Ye Yanran at this critical moment.
"Are you talking about Zhou Wuwei, the servant who served the Princess Qin?"
Ye Yanran thought she had heard it wrong. The name Zhou Wuwei was not common. As far as she knew, there was only a servant named Zhou Wuwei beside Ye Jintang. But she had seen that servant before, and he was not very old. How could he possibly defeat Xiao Yi who was taking the Vajra Pill?
"That's right. General Ding is optimistic about Zhou Wuwei and has already asked him to be by his side."
"What about the prince? Why hasn't he come back yet?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"
The servant was so frightened that he didn't know what to say.
"Tell me, where did the prince go?"
"Puliu Lane."
Ye Yanran's voice was as cold as if it was poisoned. The servant dared not hide anything and told everything about Xiao Yi's whereabouts.
"How is this possible? How is this possible? The prince clearly knew that I was pregnant and was taking care of the baby. How could he do this?"
Madam Yao, who was standing by, saw that Ye Yanran was somewhat mentally collapsed. She was afraid that she would say something she shouldn't, so she quickly drove out the maids and servants serving in the room.
"Don't worry, madam. Maybe the effect of the medicine has just worn off. After so many competitions, the prince must have sweated a lot, which may affect the effect of the medicine."
"Even if the effect of the medicine has faded a little, it shouldn't cause the prince to rush straight to the brothel from the South Camp. Madam Yao, is there something wrong with the medicine?"
"Logically speaking, it shouldn't happen. The prince has only been taking it for a few months, and now is the time when the drug is most effective."
"No, I'll give the prince some more medicine tonight. It won't be long before I give birth, so I have to get through this period. As long as the baby is born safely, I won't be afraid of anything."
"Taking the mist so frequently may harm His Majesty's health."
"It doesn't matter. It's better than having a bunch of bastards in the backyard."
Ye Yanran had seen through Xiao Yi a long time ago. He was not a man who would settle for less. Not long after she married into Prince Qi's Mansion, he had two pregnant concubines. If it weren't for the fog, who knows how many new people the palace would have by now.
Ye Yanran was in a bad mood, and it took Madam Yao's persuasion for a long time before she felt less depressed.
Compared to the gloom in Prince Qi's Mansion, the competition field in South Camp was extremely lively.
Ding Xinji personally handed the prize of the competition, a top-quality jade bracelet, to Zhou Wuwei.
"Wuwei, I see that you are very good at Kung Fu. I wonder who your teacher is and who your master is."
"General, you think too highly of me. I was born a commoner and was sold as a slave to an official family when I was young. I did learn martial arts from the guards for a few years, but that was all. I never became anyone's disciple."
"I see. Are you willing to follow me? I can help you redeem yourself from slavery."
"Thank you for your kindness, General. I don't have any lofty ambitions. I just want to run errands for the princess and do some small things."
As he spoke, Zhou Wuwei saluted towards Ding Xinji.
Ding Xinji never expected that Zhou Wuwei would reject his kindness. He wanted to persuade him a little more, but Ye Jintang said anxiously, "Wuwei, you silly boy, what great future can you achieve by following me? If you can follow General Ding, not to mention being made a marquis and a prime minister in the future, bringing honor to your family, at least you won't have to live a life of mediocrity."
"Your Majesty hopes that I will achieve great things?"
"Of course, a real man should be upright and not be stuck in a small room in the backyard, running errands for me."
Ye Jintang found Zhou Wuwei's conflicted look very funny.
She really didn't know what to say to him. He finally had a chance to escape from slavery, but he was still reluctant to leave the palace. What a little fool.
"But I couldn't bear to leave you, my lady. If you hadn't saved me, I might have been nothing but a handful of bones now."
"Even if you follow General Ding into the military camp, you can still help me, and even do more than you are doing now."
"Wuwei, you can only become my right-hand man if you become stronger."
Ye Jintang still likes Zhou Wuwei very much. Although he is young, he is absolutely loyal to her. If he can grow up as soon as possible, he will definitely be her strongest helper.
Although Ye Jintang said so, Zhou Wuwei was still a little hesitant. If he left the palace, it would be difficult to see Ye Jintang again.
After all, he was a foreigner and it was impossible for him to enter and leave the backyard of the palace at will, even if he had always been Ye Jintang's subordinate.
"Okay, don't hesitate. Go back to the palace, pack up your things, and report to General Ding. If you need anything, just tell Aunt Zhang. And don't worry about the work you have on hand. I'll find someone to take over later."
Since Ye Jintang said so, Zhou Wuwei had no choice but to accept it.
In fact, he also hopes in his heart that he can become stronger as soon as possible. Only in this way can he protect the people he wants to protect.
