Rebirth: Heaven-defying Queen: Volume 3

By Hui GuNiangDeHouMa

The candle flame flickered on and off, but it couldn't light up the room. It had already been more than a month since she'd been beaten into the cold palace. Everyone knew that her concubine wouldn't have the chance to leave, but Yan Muli still held onto a strand of fantasy.

CHAPTER 201 - AGREE TO BRING BACK MUYA

You guys kept saying that you were worried about me. What were you guys doing at that time?

Since Doctor Chou said yesterday that I would wake up, then he must have come back today to verify what he had said.

As expected, Doctor Chou had arrived just as the matriarch had said. However, it was not when the matriarch had finished speaking, but rather when she was slightly late.

After the matriarch finished speaking, she ordered her servants to pack up the food. They were also allowed to return to their rooms to rest, but they all expressed their unwillingness to do so. Just like at the beginning, the entire room was filled with the matriarch, all of whom were laughing and chatting with each other.

Although Xiao Fengzhen saw that everyone was angry, she did not say anything.

He smiled and said to the matriarch, Matriarch, Mu Ya heard that you've been poisoned, so she can't cultivate in peace at the Buddhist temple. Every day, she prays with the Buddha that her grandmother will get better soon. She's skinnier.

If you don't say anything, she won't dare to come back to see you. On such a joyous day, I'll kick Mu Ya to plead for her. Do me a favor and ask Mu Ya to come back and see you, and also ask her to be filial so that she won't be worried day and night.

Matriarch He didn't speak as she looked at Yan Muli.

Mu Li replied, Grandmother, Mu Li thought that the reason you sent big sister Mu Ya to the Buddhist temple was to temper her personality and make her suffer a little.

Elder sister has been at the Buddhist temple for so long and has suffered enough. If you know you're wrong, why don't you let her come back?

Elder sister, this ancestor and grandson being separated, the mother and daughter being separated … I guess that sister's separation must be enough to make us suffer. Besides, after such a long time, everyone has already forgotten about her. People in the capital never lack the energy to talk after their meals, so they won't remember for long.

When Matriarch He saw Yan Muli, she nodded her head in satisfaction. She felt that she understood the gist of the matter.

When Xiao Fengzhen heard Yan Mu Li's words, she inwardly heaved a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Yan Mu Li would say something that would harm Mu Ya.

Matriarch He gave Lu Mengshu a questioning look.

Lu Mengshu's face was full of smiles as she said, This matter is entirely up to Matriarch He. Mengshu has no objections. Mu Ya has also received her lesson, so it's time for her to return and reunite.

However, he hated Mu Li to the core.

Currently, the matriarch was questioning Yan Muli in every matter, clearly putting him above everyone else. In the future, perhaps Yan Muli would be the one in charge of this house!

He couldn't let this girl live! An undisguised killing intent flashed in Lu Mengshu's eyes, but no one noticed, other than Yan Muli himself.

Yan Mu Li had already understood the matriarch's intentions when he answered her question. He also knew that this matter would bring about killing intent, so how could a smart person like the matriarch not know? But he didn't know what the matriarch was up to.

The matriarch turned to Xiao Fengzhen and said, Since no one has any objections, let's go and bring Mu Ya back. I haven't seen that girl for a long time.

Presumably, you missed him too.

Don't ever! Matriarch He emphasized, Be careful when you return. Don't act as low profile as you used to. Otherwise, even I won't be able to protect her.

Yes sir! Xiao Fengzhen did not expect things to progress so quickly. Her daughter had already returned from Matriarch He's illness. If she had known earlier, it might have been a good thing for her to get sick. Was this the legendary blessing of misfortune?

Xiao Fengzhen was overjoyed. She couldn't sit still and wanted to immediately rush over to bring her daughter back, but she still held herself back.

While they were talking, Chou Yan walked in.

I heard Matriarch He's laughter. It seems like Matriarch He has recovered quite well.

CHAPTER 202 - UNUSUAL

When the crowd saw that enmity had arrived, they all stood up. Matriarch He looked at the young man before her with a smile, knowing who he was.

This old one thanks Doctor Chou for saving my life! If it's inconvenient for you to get up, please do not take offense to your luggage, Doctor Chou.

Chou Yan greets Matriarch He. Please be courteous, Matriarch He. Once everything is taken care of, there's no need for us to care about such empty gifts.

Then, Doctor Chou, please don't hold back. Please take a seat!

Thank you, Matriarch Xie. Chou Yan sat by the matriarch's bedside and examined her pulse carefully. He nodded and said, You've recovered quite well. Has the matriarch ever defecated?

The servant girl at the side answered, No defecation.

Oh, wait a moment. The matriarch has to endure for now. As I've seen, the matriarch will defecate in less than three days. After the black feces are excreted, the poison will be completely discharged before the meal can be eaten.

Otherwise, the food will absorb the poison back into the body.

Thank you for your reminder, Doctor Chou. When Matriarch He heard the vindictive words, she instantly came to a conclusion. However, her expression didn't change at all.

Xiao Fengzhen, on the other hand, had an ugly expression on her face for a while.

Chou Yan eagerly asked about a few things, gave a lot of instructions, then got up and was about to leave.

Since the matriarch has recovered from her illness, my grudges should have ended in success. I'll take my leave now.

This little disciple has been here for more than a month. The fourth prince also greatly misses him, so I will take him with me.

The Yan Clan has no way to repay Doctor Chou for saving our lives. We ask Doctor Chou to accept these yellow and white items as a token of your appreciation and hope that Doctor Chou will not turn your back on us.

As they spoke, a maid brought over a tray filled with gold ingots. Looking at the amount, it was not less than a thousand taels.

Chou Yan swept a glance at the gold and said coldly: Chou Yan cure people, never for money. Not to mention, today is the fourth prince's request, and he will only do as he is told, not accept this yellow and white object.

This … Seeing this, Lu Mengshu was put in a difficult position.

Since Doctor Chou is unwilling, this old body will not force you. However, our Yan Residence is not a person who does not know how to repay kindness. If Doctor Ri needs it in the future, our Yan Residence will do our best to help!

Farewell!

After he finished speaking, Chou Yan turned around and was about to leave with Xi Lun.

However, Xi Lun slowly got up and said shyly: Master, can I go say goodbye to my little sister?

Chou Yan looked at Xi Lun in surprise. He did not understand what Yan Mu Li meant, but he understood the meaning behind Xi Lun's words.

Please ask Doctor Chou to let him go! The big sister Xi Lun is talking about must be my daughter's little sister, Yan Muwan.

When Xi Lun heard this, his face turned red. He lowered his head and did not speak.

Chou Yan looked at Xi Lun meaningfully: Go!

Xi Lun weakly asked: Then can Master come with me?

Chou Yan looked at the unusual Xi Lun today. He didn't know what was wrong with Xi Lun and was even more suspicious when he saw Yan Mu Li's ambiguous smile.

Let's go!

Chou Yan made up his mind to investigate everything.

Xi Lun dragged Yan Muli with one hand and Chou Yan with the other as he left the pavilion.

In the pavilion, outside Yan Muwan's room, Chou Yan looked at Yan Muli suspiciously.

What happened to my disciple? Today is so abnormal.

Doctor Chou has been through many things, and his medical skills are so amazing. How could he not know what happened to his beloved disciple? Yan Muli covered his mouth and smiled.

You're saying … Chou Yan was suddenly enlightened. Could it be that I've taken a fancy to your little sister?

But, but this is too early! Chou Yan looked confused.

Get up the horse and go around the bed to make green plums. Aren't you talking about the feelings of a childhood sweetheart?

Young miss, you are truly talented. How could I forget this part?

CHAPTER 203 - HE ACTUALLY AGREED TO IT

The two of them chatted for a while longer before Xi Lun opened the door.

Xi Lun's eyes were red, as if he had just been crying. Seeing the two of them looking at him, he turned his head away shyly, turned his body, and said, Master, come in and see her!

Chou Yan saw a twelve or thirteen year old girl sitting on the bed. She was slightly red in the face and looked much smaller and thinner than her peers. She didn't seem taller than Xi Lun.

When Chou Yan saw Yan Muwan like this, he knew that this child must have a serious illness that was extremely difficult to treat.

The room was filled with the fragrance of medicine. Although it wasn't as strong as the room she used to live in, there was still a faint scent. As soon as Chou Yan heard it, he could roughly guess what was in it and what illness it was used to treat.

Chou Yan went in and cupped his hands towards Yan Muwan: This humble one is Chou Yan, master of Xi Lun. During this time, Xi Lun has disturbed Miss's peace and quiet. Today, the poison in grandma Yan's body has already been cleared. This humble one has successfully left with Xi Lun. I have come to bid my farewell.

Yan Muwan struggled to get up, but was pressed down on the bed by her hatred.

Miss, you don't have to get up. Chou Yan gently held Yan Muwan down and waited for Yan Muwan to steady herself before saying, This one knows that Miss' health is not good, so there is no need to be so formal.

Yan Muwan blushed a little, a little embarrassed. She panted before saying, My daughter, Mu Wan, has seen Doctor Chou. Doctor Chou has treated my Yan family's grandma's poison. I don't know how to thank you!

No need for thanks. I am a person who studies medicine, and treating and saving people is my duty. I am also a challenging person, and when it comes to difficult cases and rare poisons, I am willing to treat them.

Xi Lun, who was standing at the side, spoke up: Look, I already told you that my master is exceptionally good!

Master, little sister is lacking in talent, can you help take a look?

Yan Muwan raised her hand.

Mu Wan stretched out her right hand and looked at Qiu Yan with anticipation. Qiu Yan helped her check her pulse, but didn't say a word. His frown only deepened.

When did Miss get this illness?

I don't remember, either. It must have been in my mother's womb! Mu Wan asked as she looked at Yan Muli.

Yan Muli was only two years older than Mu Wan, so she wasn't very clear about it. At this moment, her entire heart was hanging by a thread. When she saw Chou Yan ask, she pondered for a moment before answering.

I vaguely heard from the old man in the Yan Residence that my mother encountered a fire while carrying Mu Wan. She was trapped in there for a long time and inhaled a lot of smoke. Afterwards, Mu Wan's body never left her mouth.

All these years, she never left the soup and rarely went out. When her father was at home, he also invited many doctors for her, some of which were very famous and profound. However, she was always unable to recover from her illness.

Chou Yan frowned and did not speak. He seemed to be deep in thought.

After a long while, Chou Yan spoke up: Your sister's illness is extremely hard to treat, and the things you need to cure it are also very hard to find. If Fourth Miss trusts me, I won't mind to give it a try, but I can't guarantee that it will be treated well.

Yan Muli was overjoyed. He quickly bowed and said, Many thanks to Doctor Chou for helping. If Doctor Chou can cure my sister's illness, then Mu Li is willing to work as a horse to repay you for the rest of his life.

She had long heard from Xi Lun about how powerful of a doctor Chou Yan was. She felt that as long as Chou Yan was willing to treat him, she would be able to recover and be like the others.

CHAPTER 204 - IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE

She had only been afraid that Chou Yan wouldn't agree to help her. She hadn't thought that he would agree so easily. Chou Yan was indeed just like Xi Lun had said, someone who was easy to get along with and willing to help others.

Yan Mu Li didn't expect things to go so smoothly. It was so smooth that she felt it was inconceivable. Chou Yan actually agreed without saying anything. This didn't match with Chou Yan's personality in her impression of him.

As Mu Li thought, Chou Yan couldn't so easily agree. He waved his hand and said, Ladies, don't be in such a rush to thank me. It's fine if I agree, but this matter still requires the approval of the Fourth Prince.

As long as the Fourth Prince commands it, it will not refuse. If not for the Fourth Prince's orders, it will not be treated. If this matter is to succeed, let's see if Fourth Miss can persuade the Fourth Prince to do so.

Fourth Prince, it's the Fourth Prince again! Yan Mu Li felt a headache when he thought about this handsome and moody person. He had already used the letter the black clothed man gave her last time and didn't know if he could obtain the Plum Blossom Token. How else could he ask for the Fourth Prince's help? "

Yan Mu Li's mind was filled with countless thoughts, but he maintained his composure. He gave Chou Yan a bow and said, Many thanks for Doctor Chou's advice. Mu Li won't make things difficult for Doctor Chou. Mu Li will definitely invite the Fourth Prince.

When Yan Muwan heard these words of hatred, she instantly felt dejected. Who was the fourth prince?! How could such a high and mighty Prince be willing to repeatedly invite someone like them to help him?

Yan Muwan felt that there was no hope for her disease. The words Chou Yan said just now were just excuses, so her face immediately fell. She was just a child after all and had never experienced the world, so naturally she couldn't hide her anger.

When Xi Lun saw the look of disappointment on Yan Muwan's face, he immediately went forward and comforted her: Don't worry, the Fourth Prince is also someone easy to talk to. Everyone in the entire Fourth Prince's residence is easy to talk to. As long as Big Sister Mu Li goes, the Fourth Prince will definitely agree to it.

Then, she whispered into Yan Muwan's ear, At that time, I will personally take care of you.

Yan Muwan knew that Xi Lun was trying to console her, but she didn't want him to be unhappy with her. She forced out a smile as a response.

Chou Yan and the others chatted for a while longer before taking their leave.

on the carriage

Chou Yan looked at Xi Lun and laughed without saying a word. With a strange expression, Mo Ning asked: Master, why are you laughing at me?

Have you fallen for Yan Muwan?

Master, what did you say? Xi Lun turned his head away shyly when he heard that Qiu Yan was talking about something important.

Master is asking you a question! Say what you have to say, and tell Master what you have to hide. "

Mhmm, I like little big sister and I also like big sister Mu Li. Both of them are really nice to me. But little sister is so pitiful. I can't help him, and with my medical skills, I still can't cure her. As Xi Lun said this, his expression darkened.

Master, since you can treat her, why didn't you help her? Big Sister Mu Li still needs to ask the Fourth Prince for help. You can clearly treat other people without going through the Fourth Prince's orders. The Fourth Prince did not ask for anything from you!

Silly child, the Yan Residence's water is deep! When he didn't understand it, it was better not to take things into his own hands. Let the fourth prince weigh the pros and cons of this matter! If I make the decision without permission, I'm afraid I'll bring him trouble.

Chou Yan put away his smile and said seriously.

Didn't I already tell her that I won't reject you?! If the fourth prince agreed, it would depend on Yan Muli's ability. But my guess is that Yan Mu Li will definitely get the approval of the Fourth Prince. This woman is not simple!

CHAPTER 205 - CHAT WITH YOUR GRANDMOTHER

After Xi Lun had left, Yan Muwan felt a little disappointed. Her expression was very lonely, and Yan Muli was afraid that she would be unhappy and stay with her.

Elder sister, is grandmother alright? Don't you need to go and see? I want to go see Grandmother. Can you take me there? " Yan Muwan raised her little face and asked.

"Grandmother is already fine, do you still not trust Chou Yan's medical skills? Since your body is so weak, I'm afraid you might pass the time and give it to your grandmother. After all, she's only just recovered, and has not fully recovered from the poison in her body, and hasn't even eaten yet.

The next day, Matriarch Yan excreted the black feces just as she had said in her hatred. The smell was unbearably pungent; it was as black as ink.

After the matriarch expelled the black feces, her body felt much more refreshed. Xiao Feng really had sent the delicious porridge as a side dish. The matriarch's sweetness hadn't caused anything to happen.

On this afternoon, Matriarch He woke up from her nap and sent for Yan Muli.

Mu Li, it must have been hard on you during the month that Grandmother was unconscious! I have also wronged you! " The matriarch held Yan Muli's hand affectionately.

Mu Li didn't work hard. It's Mu Li's duty to take care of the matriarch. Mu Li's mother died early, his father was not here, and his sister was sick. I should pay my respects to Grandmother more often. "

You! Don't look at how I fainted due to poison, but I also have some impression when I'm unconscious. Sometimes I'm awake, sometimes I'm a bit blurry. I know that during the period of my coma, you would come over everyday to talk to me and wipe my face."

But! Right now, the Yan Residence is a place where many things happen. There are some things that I am not the only one capable of making decisions on, and I can't help but be wronged by you. You are someone who can achieve great things, so being wronged is also a form of training.

What did Grandmother say? Mu Li didn't feel wronged for the sake of the Yan Residence.

I know that with your temperament, I can do it even if I don't tell you. But I can't help it. In this Yan Clan's current generation, there are only a few of you children, and only one son. Even your daughter isn't able to live up to her expectations, so all I can hope for is for you and Zi Bing.

But I think! Zi Bing, that child is just like her mother. He's a bit stingy, and only you can accomplish big things.

Yan Mu Li sighed in his heart. In this life, he was afraid that he would disappoint his grandmother. In his previous life, her granddaughter had achieved the position of empress and protected the prosperity of her Yan Residence for several generations. Because of her rebirth and revenge, many things in her previous life had been disrupted. It was likely that the Yan Residence would not be as glorious as it was in their previous life.

As for the position of empress, she didn't dare to even think about it. She had
