NFBE Chapter 413
Chapter 413
"Aunt, please come with me to the Duke's Mansion to visit my father." Wei Ye went straight to the point.
"What, what happened?" Ye Xi had a bad feeling in his heart.
"My father's injury has healed, but the poison has not been resolved. The doctor said that he could be cured by finding the corresponding antidote in southern Xinjiang.
Great grandfather asked father not to come to your place until the poison was detoxified, and father compromised.
But it has been more than two months and still no antidote has been found. My father wanted to come see you yesterday but was stopped by my great grandfather.
There was an argument between the two and then the father vomited blood.”
Speaking of this, Ye Xi felt a little distressed. She didn't expect that Wei Jue's poison had not been cured yet.
She thought that with his ability, this was not a big deal.
"Father woke up today and insisted on coming over here to see you, but Great Grandfather wouldn't allow it.
I'm worried that my father's condition is getting worse, so I'm thinking of coming here to pick you up and bring you to my house to meet my father."
"Is this what you mean? Does your mother know? The Duke's Mansion may not welcome me." Ye Xi expressed her concerns.
"But if father..., mother will also be unhappy. I, I don't want to lose my father."
Wei Ye’s last sentence was deafening.
Only then did Ye Xi realize how important his father was to Wei Ye.
She didn't want to go to the Duke's Mansion, but if Wei Jue was really gone, it would be a devastating blow to the young Wei Ye.
In such an era, the father is the pillar of a family, especially Wei Jue who is a powerful official.
If he died before Wei Ye could take charge, the Wei family might have to suffer a "bloodbath".
"Okay, I'll go." Ye Xi said.
She did not forget that even if Wei Ye had nothing to do with him, Wei Jue was poisoned in order to save her, and she could not be ungrateful.
Ye Xi, wearing a veiled hat, followed Wei Ye through many twists and turns and arrived at Wei Jue's yard.
The servants they met along the way not only bowed to Wei Ye, but also looked at her with some curiosity.
She knew that being brought here by Wei Ye would definitely attract attention, but she didn't care. Since she had made up her mind to come here, these were unavoidable.
When they arrived at the gate of a solemn and heavy courtyard, Ye Xi saw three big words "Tingfengyuan" written on the gate.
Wei Ye explained that this was Wei Jue's residence and his mother Yao Yushu lived in another courtyard.
Ye Xi knew that it was like this in all wealthy families. Everyone had their own courtyard, and if the master did not spend the night in the courtyard of his wife or concubine, he would stay in his own courtyard.
Wei Ye took her in and walked for a while before stopping.
"Father is in there." Wei Ye felt it was quite quiet inside, not as noisy as before he left.
He saw Xue Jiu standing next to him, so he asked, "Uncle Xue, how is father?"
When Xue Jiu was still some distance away from Wei Ye, he felt a little confused when he saw Wei Ye bringing a girl with him.
As they got closer, they gradually saw the girl's figure clearly, so when she came up to them, they were not too surprised and answered Wei Ye's questions directly.
"My lord was calmed down by the doctor after he quarreled with the Duke this morning. He is now taking medicine in there."
Wei Ye finally understood the reason for the silence inside, he turned around and said to Ye Xi:
"Aunt, I won't go in with you. Go in by yourself. Father will be very happy to see you."
Ye Xi nodded and walked in after Xue Jiu pushed open the door. She took off her veil only after entering.
What comes into view is an octagonal table and then a folding screen.
She placed the veil on the eight-immortals table, walked around the screen and entered the inner room, only then did she see Wei Jue half leaning against the bed.
Wei Jue's face turned pale, and he stared at the medicine bowl beside the bed in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
