Chapter 1086 (Yi Yi Will Be Beaten to Death!)
"Mother, I will find a solution," Ye Hua said in a deep voice, tightly holding his mother's hand, his gaze revealing deep concern.
Ye Hua rarely worried about anything because everything could be smoothly resolved, and there's usually nothing to worry about. However, his mother's situation is something even Ye Hua himself can't solve. This makes him feel a loss of control, a feeling he finds very unsettling.
This emotion frustrated Ye Hua greatly!
Le Jing, with a smile on her lips, reassures, "Don't worry, Ye Hua, your mother will be fine."
Ye Hua slowly turned to look at Daji and Yi Yi kneeling on the ground.
"Who! Who made this medicine!" Ye Hua stares at Yi Yi. Daji has been taking care of his mother for a while and wouldn't make such a mistake.
The only one left is Yi Yi!
She shouldn't have been allowed into the palace in the first place. If not for caring about Little Tian's feelings, Ye Hua would have dealt with her outside the palace long ago!
Daji directly prostrated on the ground, saying, "Master, it was my guidance that went wrong. Please, grant Daji death!"
Ye Juetian's face paled after hearing this. If guidance gone wrong led to death, then Yi Yi... looking at her frail and slightly trembling figure, Ye Juetian was tempted to bear the consequences with her.
But looking at his elder brother's expression, if he angers him further, Yi Yi is undoubtedly doomed! What to do now! His mother's medicine, unexpectedly ruined by the girl he likes. This situation makes Ye Juetian very uncomfortable.
Yi Yi directly kowtowed, with a tearful voice, "Your Majesty, don't blame Sister Daji, it's all my fault. I thought drinking a bit more would make the Empress Dowager recover faster, I didn't expect this."
Ye Hua's face looked somewhat ferocious after hearing this. Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi, seeing Ye Hua's expression, feel a bit frightened.
This is the first time Ye Hua has shown such an expression, ferocious!
It seems Yi Yi has truly angered Ye Hua this time.
"What do you think!? Why do you think so!? Tell me!" Ye Hua angrily shouted at Yi Yi, losing his usual calm demeanour.
Yi Yi feels deep fear. Large teardrops fell on the ground, and choking, she said, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I should have listened to Sister Daji and not acted on my own."
"Do you think a simple apology is enough!" Ye Hua slammed the table, causing it to tremble slightly and instantly turn into powder, even the bowl of Spirit Spring water evaporated. If this were to happen to a person, the outcome would likely be the same.
Qian Yuqing and Ye Juetian dare not say anything now because if anyone pleaded for Yi Yi, they would be in trouble.
Ye Juetian was very concerned about his mother's condition but also worried about Yi Yi. She didn't intentionally do this; it was to speed up his mother's recovery. She just did a good thing with a bad outcome, not deserving death.
Le Jing softly said, "Ye Hua, it's enough. Don't blame Yi Yi anymore. She didn't mean to do this."
"Mother, you don't need to worry about this matter," Ye Hua said in a deep voice.
Le Jing sighed deeply, choosing not to say anything more.
Yi Yi was filled with regret. Breaking a vase was one thing, but now she has caused Empress Dowager to lose her medicine in the future.
Self-blame... Yi Yi feels an overwhelming sense of self-blame.
"Your Majesty, Yi Yi is willing to take responsibility with her death!" Yi Yi kowtowed fiercely to Ye Hua, and her once white forehead turned red in an instant.
Upon hearing Yi Yi's willingness to grant her death, Ye Juetian immediately panicked and took a step forward.
Gong Yue quickly grabbed Ye Juetian. A woman's sixth sense told her that if Ye Juetian sided with Yi Yi now, even he himself would be in danger. This big brother didn't seem to have much compassion.
Indeed, Gong Yue's speculation was correct.
If Ye Juetian were to plead for Yi Yi now, Ye Hua would think that his younger brother, without even caring about their mother's illness, is actually pleading for the main culprit. The consequences would be severe, and no plea would be effective.
"Death?" Ye Hua questioned, then covered his forehead and burst into laughter.
Yi Yi's body gradually floated in the air, drifting past Ye Hua. He stopped laughing, his tone turning cold, "Your life? Is it worthy to be compared with my mother's life? Do you think ending this wrongdoing with your life will magically fix itself?"
"Ye Hua," Qing Ya couldn't help but call from the side.
"Shut up!" Ye Hua coldly looked at Qing Ya and shouted, startling her. She dared not say another word.
Donghuang Baizhi supported Qing Ya, signalling her not to say anything more. Ye Hua finally reunited with his birth mother after so long, and now he saw his mother's life entering a countdown. Anyone would be angry.
"Empress Dowager, I'm sorry..." Yi Yi looked at Le Jing with sincere apologies. She really didn't want that to happen.
Yi Yi also knew that Ye Ye was standing behind her, but she couldn't face Ye Ye now. 'Sorry, Ye Ye... I'm too foolish, causing you a lot of trouble.
At this moment, Ye Juetian was waiting for his big brother's final judgement, then he will find an opportunity to save his mother and Yi Yi.
"Silly child, it's okay," Le Jing comforted with a smile, making Yi Yi feel even more useless, really wanting to kill herself.
Perhaps Yi Yi intended to end her life, as she closed her eyes, awaiting the arrival of death. But in her mind were images of Ye Ye. Though they hadn't known each other for long, she had already fallen deeply in love. This must be what people often call love at first sight. It feels so good; she hoped to meet Ye Ye again in the next life, vowing not to be so foolish.
Seeing Yi Yi determined to die, Ye Hua said in a low voice, "Do you really want to die? I won't let you die so easily! If anything happens to my mother, I'll make sure you can't even seek the luxury of death!"
"Guards!" Ye Hua coldly ordered.
The sound of armour rubbing against each other echoed outside the door, bringing a chilling atmosphere.
"Your Majesty!" Two black-armoured warriors knelt on one knee, respectfully addressing him.
"Take this woman out and give her a hundred lashes! Throw her into the dungeon!"
"Daji, being neglectful! Forty lashes! Go back and reflect on yourself!"
Daji breathed a sigh of relief, bowing respectfully, "Thank you for sparing my life, Master. Daji feels ashamed and will serve wholeheartedly in the future!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for sparing my life," Yi Yi also followed Daji's lead.
But Ye Juetian's face now became pale and helpless.
Daji's strength surpassed her, so even enduring ten thousand lashes wouldn't be a problem.
But Yi Yi was just an ordinary person. Not to mention a hundred lashes, with her weak constitution, even twenty lashes could take her life!
Big brother's decision was not punishment at all; it's evident that he intended to beat Yi Yi to death!
Gong Yue, standing behind, sighed. This ordinary woman simply cannot endure the punishment of a hundred lashes.
