Xuanyuan Ce stood up obediently and cupped his hands to bid farewell.

He was just here to go through the motions today. It was fine as long as he arrived.

Xuanyuan Qi fell back in anger. “Sit down.”

Seeing that Xuanyuan Ce had fumbled and sat back down, Xuanyuan Qi’s gaze landed on the white cloth tied over his eyes. He asked worriedly, “Why haven’t your eyes recovered?”

Almost half a month had pa.s.sed.

“It’ll naturally be fine when it’s time to recover.” Xuanyuan Ce did not care.

“You’re so magnanimous.” Xuanyuan Qi had completely lost his temper with him. He pointed at the bright yellow imperial edict beside him. “This is an imperial edict to give a t.i.tle to that girl. See if you want to take her away now or if I’ll send someone to announce it. When the time comes, find a time to write her name on a piece of jade.”

He sighed. “Since it’s your bloodline, she should acknowledge her ancestors.”

At the mention of her background, Xuanyuan Ce could not help but recall Shen Yijia’s childhood experience. He felt upset and shook his head. “Jiajia hasn’t woken up yet. Let’s talk about it when she wakes up.”

Knowing that this was a token of his brother’s sincerity, he explained, “She hasn’t accepted me as her biological father yet. I’m afraid that she’ll be angry with me when she wakes up.”

Xuanyuan Ce had yet to go to the small courtyard today, and no one had come to tell him that Shen Yijia had woken up, so he did not know.

Xuanyuan Qi wanted to say that who would disagree with such a good thing?

“Then do as you see fit. I’ll leave the imperial edict here.”

“Thank you, Brother.”

At this moment, Eunuch Wu walked in and whispered something to Xuanyuan

Xuanyuan Qi frowned and looked at Xuanyuan Ce. “Xuanyuan Ye went to the Longevity Palace.”

At the entrance of the Longevity Palace, Xuanyuan Ye knelt at Empress Dowager Zhou’s feet and said aggrievedly, “Imperial Grandmother, Ye’er really didn’t harm Sister. Why doesn’t Imperial Uncle believe Ye’er? On the other hand, Sister probably hates Ye’er for taking over her status and has tried to kill Ye’er several times. However, Ye’er doesn’t know about those things at all.” Empress Dowager Zhou looked at her and was speechless.

Xuanyuan Ce was not in Phoenix City all year round. Her love for her son was almost entirely entrusted to Xuanyuan Ye. Not only did she bring her into the palace to stay for a while every few days, but she would also choose the things she liked and send it to her immediately.

Not to mention her other granddaughters, even her grandson had never made her so concerned.

However, this child whom she had watched grow up almost..

Xuanyuan Ye cried for a long time, but Empress Dowager Zhou did not comfort her. Tears fell and she choked. “Imperial Grandmother, even you don’t believe in Ye’er. Do you not want Ye’er anymore?”

Empress Dowager Zhou took a deep breath. “Let’s go in and talk.”

With that, she turned around and returned to the Longevity Palace.

Xuanyuan Ye had a bad feeling, but there was no time for her to think too much. She quickly got up and followed.

After entering the main hall and seeing the imperial physician waiting inside, her premonition became even stronger. She tightened her grip on the handkerchief in her hand and tried her best to calm down. She asked with concern, “Is Imperial Grandmother feeling unwell?”

Empress Dowager Zhou saw her expression and finally turned cold. “Don’t you have anything to say to me?”

Xuanyuan Ye looked up in a daze. “Imperial Grandmother, are you referring to the rumors that I harmed…

Empress Dowager Zhou interrupted her. “Imperial physician, tell me.”

The imperial physician orthodox said, “Your Majesty, I’ve checked those letters. There’s indeed nothing wrong with the first few letters. It’s just the last one. It’s obvious that the person who wrote the letter specially mixed the blood of the plague victims into the ink when grinding it.”

Xuanyuan Ye’s face turned pale and she said in a panic, “What letter?

Grandmother, don’t believe him. He must have been bribed to frame Ye’er.”

The imperial physician was unhappy. “Miss, don’t spout nonsense. I am an upright person. I’m definitely not a despicable person who curries favor with the rich and powerful.”

“You may leave first.” Empress Dowager Zhou waved her hand.

The imperial physician cupped his hands and left.

Xuanyuan Ye was stunned. She knelt down and took a few steps forward on her knees. She looked up at Empress Dowager Zhou with tears in her eyes. “Grandmother, you have to believe me. I really didn’t do that. Grandmother dotes on me the most in this world. I have no reason to harm you.”

Seeing that Empress Dowager Zhou was unmoved, she continued, “Firstly, it must be Sister. She saw that Imperial Grandmother doted on Ye’er and was jealous, so she wanted to use this method to kill Ye’er..”
