Chapter 1166 (Caught in Bed)
Jue Tian smiled faintly, "Your Majesty, it's just a title, nothing important."
"First, deal with the current situation before thinking about anything else," Ye Hua said softly.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Ye Hua went directly to his mother's chamber.
However, inside the room, Le Jing was also extremely shocked as she looked at the resurrected Yi Yi.
But this Yi Yi had a different aura. Le Jing didn't quite like this Yi Yi, feeling that the previous one was better, despite being foolish, she was sincere.
Meng Yao looked at the Empress Dowager in front of her and said softly, "Empress Dowager, wasting your medicine was my fault, so as compensation, I will cure your illness, so you will have no worries in the future."
At this moment, Ye Hua walked into the room and stood beside them, watching silently without saying a word.
"Yi Yi, what's this?" Le Jing asked in confusion.
"Empress Dowager, I am not Yi Yi now, I am Meng Yao."
"Meng Yao..." Le Jing murmured, feeling that Yi Yi sounded better.
Meng Yao didn't waste time. She extended her palm, and a bright red petal condensed in her hand. Meng Yao said softly, "This is the Blood Yang Cleansing Flower, capable of detoxifying any poison in the world."
Ye Hua asked calmly, "It's a flower, why is there just a petal?"
Meng Yao explained slowly, "There is only one Blood Yang Cleansing Flower, and it has 11 petals. This is the last petal; there is no second one in the whole world."
Ye Hua remained silent and looked towards Jue Tian beside him, who seemed to be studying something.
Jue Tian nodded, indicating that they could give it a try.
Yi Yuanqing stood nearby, frowning deeply. Is this petal really so miraculous? She had never heard of it.
"Empress Dowager, please put this petal in your mouth," Meng Yao said softly, extending the petal in her hand.
Although Meng Yao's words sounded ordinary, the news of the Blood Yang Cleansing Flower would surely cause a frenzy among everyone. Many lives were on the line, and there were countless people waiting for life-saving medicine. Its value was even greater than the treasures in Ye Hua's warehouse.
However, Yi Yi took out the Blood Yang Cleansing Flower to sever her identity as Yi Yi and stop owing anyone anything.
Le Jing glanced at Ye Hua, and Ye Hua nodded.
Le Jing breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the petal from Meng Yao's hand, and then put it in her mouth.
A cool sensation instantly spread throughout her body, and this coolness quickly transformed. Her entire body seemed to be bathed in sunlight, warm and comforting.
Ye Hua watched as a faint red light emanated from his mother's body, frowning as he waited silently.Suddenly, a strange green smoke emerged from above Le Jing's head!
Jue Tian reached out and grabbed it, the green smoke floating in his palm.
"What kind of poison is this?" Ye Hua asked in a deep voice.
Jue Tian shook his head. "If Qing Xu were here, he would know."
"Then keep it. Let him examine it when he returns."
"Yes."
Jue Tian took out a bottle and tried to guide the green smoke into it, but the smoke seemed to have a life of its own, wildly thrashing about inside the bottle.
Ye Hua felt that the person who poisoned his mother must be extraordinary! And to wield a poison that even he couldn't decipher, this person's background was even more extraordinary. The key question was: why poison his mother? What was the motive?
Le Jing's complexion became increasingly rosy, the wrinkles on her face gradually disappearing, and some white hair turned black, as if she had become several decades younger in an instant.
After a long while, Le Jing opened her eyes, feeling relaxed all over. It had been a long time since she had felt this way.
"Yi Yi, oh no, Meng Yao, thank you," Le Jing said with a faint smile. Her son couldn't help, but Meng Yao found a way. It was truly unbelievable.
Ye Hua came to his mother's side and asked with concern, "Mother, feeling better?"
"Yes, much better." Le Jing patted her son's hand reassuringly.
"Jue Tian, come and check." Ye Hua still wanted to make sure before he could be at ease.
Jue Tian respectfully approached Le Jing, and a white aura immediately enveloped her. After a while, Jue Tian respectfully said, "The Empress Dowager shows no abnormalities and has recovered."
Ye Hua heaved a sigh of relief. As long as his mother's illness was resolved, he could finally put the burden on his heart.
Qian Yuqing was very happy. The millennium-old ailment that plagued the Empress Dowager had finally been eradicated, which was truly remarkable.
Ye Hua looked at Meng Yao and suddenly felt at a loss for words. This woman repaid enmity with virtue, giving him a slap in the face. Indeed, he had underestimated her.
Ye Hua was someone who could both take and let go. Since she had helped his mother, it was only natural to express gratitude!
"Meng Yao, thank you! I owe you a favour!" Ye Hua said frankly. She saved his mother, so he wouldn't mistreat her.
It was the first time Qing Ya had heard Ye Hua express gratitude. After all, there were very few people who could make Ye Hua express sincere gratitude, let alone someone who could make him do so.
But she also realised that Ye Hua had matured. If it were in the past, he would have been too proud to express gratitude.
This was the kind of man Qing Ya liked – bold, genuine, and unpretentious.
Meng Yao calmly said, "No need to thank me. This is what I should compensate for. So now, shouldn't it be time for my compensation?"
Le Jing was confused after hearing this. "Meng Yao, whatever compensation you want, just tell me. I will do my best to fulfil it."
Meng Yao looked at Ye Hua, implying, What do you have to say?
Ye Hua said in a deep voice, "If you were framed, with solid evidence, I'll grant you freedom to handle it yourself."
"Good."
"Go and call Ye Juetian and Gong Yue here!" Ye Hua said coldly. With Meng Yao being so confident, it seemed there was mischief afoot. Gong Yue? Was she so bold?!
Meng Yao said coldly, "No need, I'll go myself!" After saying that, Meng Yao disappeared from the spot, of course knowing where Ye Juetian's chamber was.
"Ye Hua, what's going on? Meng Yao is going to find Ye Juetian?" Le Jing asked worriedly.
Ye Hua shook his head. "Mother, Meng Yao is going to find Gong Yue to seek justice. Let's see what's up. We need to take this matter seriously."
Qing Ya and the others nodded. It indeed couldn't be taken lightly.
"I'll go too," Le Jing said softly, standing up. She seemed stable now, unlike before when she felt shaky.
Ye Hua led everyone out of the room and arrived outside Ye Juetian's chamber, but the door was already open.
It seemed Meng Yao had already gone in.
Indeed, Meng Yao had already entered, even witnessing a man and a woman on the bed!
But Meng Yao never expected that Yi Yi had just died, and this man was already messing around with another woman!
'Ye Juetian!'
'Do you still have me in your heart? Am I Yi Yi completely insignificant to you?'
'Or are you both celebrating my death!'
Ye Juetian seemed to sense someone by the bed, rubbing his forehead with his eyes closed, his head aching a bit.
