Chapter 888: Chapter 888: The Burden of the Jing Royal Residence
“Have you seen enough? If so, I have something to discuss with you,” Ye Jiu asked.
The Princess Consort hurriedly wiped her tears and said, “Jiujiu, what do you need from your mother?”
Hearing the Princess Consort refer to herself like that, Ye Jiu suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable, even a little flustered, “I’m here to ask for something.”
“Whatever Jiujiu needs, just say the word.” Even if it was her life, she was willing to give it. This was the only thought in the Princess Consort’s mind at that moment.
Ye Jiu, however, blurted out without thinking, “What if I want your life?”
After she spoke, she regretted it, but there was no taking back the words once spoken.
When Ye Jiu said she wanted her life, the Princess Consort showed a bit of surprise but then smiled and said, “As long as you want it, as long as I have it.”
Ye Jiu looked at her expression; it didn’t seem like a joke, as if she could really give her life at any moment.
Under such a sincere gaze, Ye Jiu ultimately failed, “What would I do with your life? It’s neither edible nor drinkable. I just need a few drops of blood, just extend your arm.”
Although the Princess Consort didn’t understand what Ye Jiu meant, when Ye Jiu asked her to extend her hand, she did.
Once her hand was out, the Princess Consort watched Ye Jiu take out a strange device from her sleeve, then open it…
Afterward, the Princess Consort pressed down tightly on the needle hole in her arm with what Ye Jiu gave her, watching as Ye Jiu calmly put a cap on the vial containing the blood taken from her arm and put it away.
Then, Ye Jiu cheerfully said to her, “Press on it for a bit longer, and it won’t bleed. I’m off now, I’ll visit you this afternoon.”
“Okay.” The Princess Consort obediently nodded, watching Ye Jiu leave in a cheerful mood.
If just a little blood could make her so happy, then even if it drained her, she would be willing.
Because this is not just a mother’s hope for her child, it is also a debt she still owed.
Due to her momentary folly, this child suffered too much hardship.
She couldn’t even imagine how her Jiujiu endured all these years, living with such a severe poison in her system and in such circumstances!
After Ye Jiu returned, she gave the Princess Consort’s blood to La Sike, and without pausing, also selected a few maids and servants to be sent over by Ying Chun.
To help her recover soon, so she could rid herself of the burden of the Royal Residence; her own matters were nearly overwhelming. If it weren’t for the King of the Jing Palace insisting on leaving it to her, she wouldn’t want to manage it.
In less than an hour, La Sike had the prepared medicine sent over to her.
Holding the medicine, Ye Jiu headed for the main courtyard again.
In these grand mansions, this is the inconvenience; even though they live under one roof, they still have to walk some distance to meet.
And this is still with her living not far from the main courtyard.
As for why she had to walk so far when the courtyards were so close together, of course, it was because in between there were rock gardens and flowing water, pavilions and towers!
In reality, no matter how much space one could occupy, the large courtyards were all used for scenic arrangements.
Before she arrived, Ye Jiu saw the King of the Jing Palace.
Walking over, the King of the Jing Palace asked, “Did you visit your mother consort? How is her health?”
