Chapter 218: Chapter 88 Framing and Scheming, Evil Pranks on the Old Witch

"Arrest Vice Chief Meng from the Imperial Hospital?"

Chi Yan had not reacted yet, wondering how Vice Chief Meng had offended the Sixth Prince.

Vice Chief Meng was an old figure in the palace, having been in the Imperial Hospital for over twenty years without ever making a mistake. What had happened today...

Chi Yan knew the temperament of the Sixth Prince; he was different from the Fourth Prince, kind and honest, but after the incident of deviation, he became stern and decisive.

Yet such a sudden burst of anger, as shown today, was very rare.

Could all this be because of Princess Ye?

General Chi Yan hesitated, not daring to disobey the order, he was about to capture Vice Chief Meng.

"Sixth Prince, wait a moment. Even if you question Vice Chief Meng today, she can still keep finding ways to trouble me tomorrow. Unless you can find something to hold against Vice Chief Meng," Ye Lingyue said before whispering a few words into the Sixth Prince, Xiahou Qi’s ear.

After listening, Xiahou Qi nodded his head.

General Chi Yan, on the other hand, looked puzzled, not knowing what they had discussed.

As evening approached, Vice Chief Meng hummed a tune as he stepped into the Outer Academy.

Ignorant girl, she must realize the might of Vice Chief Meng by now.

One hundred bags of mixed seeds, if that doesn’t make you cross-eyed, I won’t believe it’s Meng.

Proudly self-satisfied, in the palace, who dared to offend Vice Chief Meng?

He had thought that upon entering the Outer Academy, he would see Ye Lingyue weeping bitterly, but as soon as he entered, Vice Chief Meng was frozen in place.

What was that, more than a dozen piles of seeds, neatly arranged as if awaiting inspection by the Marshal, there waiting for her.

She then looked at Ye Lingyue, who she thought would be nearly skinned alive if not dead by now, standing subserviently to one side.

Upon seeing her, Ye Lingyue quickly walked up.

"Vice Chief, you have come at last. The seeds have all been sorted out, just awaiting your inspection."

"All of these, selected by you alone?" Vice Chief Meng’s face stretched long, like that of an old mare.

How could that be possible? Did she have three heads and six arms? In just one day, she actually managed to sort out all these mixed seeds.

Vice Chief Meng, skeptical, looked around and saw no one.

In the Imperial Hospital, there should be no one who dared go against her orders and help this newcomer.

"It was completed by me, a ’person’." Ye Lingyue mused, indeed, she was the only person; the rest were birds, chickens, sparrows...

"Rubbish, you’re still trying to hide it from Vice Chief Meng. Do you think you have three heads and six arms? It’s impossible for you to sort out these mixed seeds in one day. Ye Lingyue, what audacity you have, to deceive right under my watch! You must have sought help. Defying the orders of Vice Chief Meng, what should your crime be?"

Vice Chief Meng was dead set against Ye Lingyue today.

She had already decided that whether Ye Lingyue completed the task or not, she would punish her by sending her to the Precepts Room in the palace for a good flogging.

"Vice Chief Meng, it’s a misunderstanding, oh! If you don’t believe me, you can ask the guards outside. Truly, no one has come in; at most, at most there was only..." Ye Lingyue stammered, looking unsettled, with a guilty expression on her face.

"Hmph, no need for sophistry, come with Vice Chief Meng to the Precepts Room to receive your punishment." Vice Chief Meng said, pulling Ye Lingyue to go to the Precepts Room.

"Deputy Chief, please spare my life. I have some silver notes here, please take them, Vice Chief Meng, and look after me more in the future." Ling Yue feigned a frightened demeanor, hastily dragging Vice Chief Meng and pulling out a silver note from her clothes to offer.

Upon hearing about the silver note, Vice Chief Meng glanced at it with the corner of her eye, spotting the amount of five hundred taels of gold written on it.

Her lips couldn’t help but twitch uncontrollably.

If she had produced it earlier, all this commotion wouldn’t have been necessary, almost leading to dragging someone to the Precepts Room.

Truly befitting a Commandery Princess personally conferred by the Empress Dowager, a straightforward offering of five hundred taels of gold; this Ye Lingyue is indeed a money tree.

Upon sighting the gold, Vice Chief Meng’s attitude did an immediate one hundred and eighty-degree turn.

She hastily let go of Ye Lingyue, her chicken-claw-like hands reaching for the silver note from Ye Lingyue, talking all the while.

"Alchemist Ye, rest assured, from now on, in the Imperial Hospital, no one will dare to bully you as long as I’m here..."

The echo of the word "you" was still lingering in the air.

Then, a burst of cold laughter was heard, as the Sixth Prince Xiahou Qi and General Chi Yan stepped out.

Both their gazes, sharp as torches, were fixed on the silver note in Vice Chief Meng’s hands.

Upon seeing the Sixth Prince and General Chi Yan, Vice Chief Meng’s hands stiffened, and the silver note fluttered to the ground like a snowflake.

"Si... Sixth Prince, what brings you here?"

Vice Chief Meng, with her swine-like brain, couldn’t fathom why the reclusive Sixth Prince would appear in the deserted Outer Academy.

"Ah, Deputy Chief, my words were not finished yet. Just now, no one came in except the Sixth Prince and General Chi Yan. As you know, I’m the martial sister of the Sixth Prince; he was just visiting me on his way back to the palace." Ye Lingyue spoke casually, not forgetting to pick up her silver note and blow off the dust on it.

Her Ye Lingyue’s silver note is not so easily taken.

The amount taken has to be spat out tenfold or a hundredfold!

Sixth Prince Xiahou Qi watched Vice Chief Meng with cold eyes. He had heard about her misdeeds from Ye Lingyue before but was half in doubt. He hadn’t expected her to have the audacity to openly solicit a bribe.

Had he not happened to come to the Outer Academy today, wouldn’t Ye Lingyue truly have been dragged to the Precepts Court by this vile old woman?

"Vice Chief Meng, do you admit your guilt?" Xiahou Qi bellowed sharply.

Startled, Vice Chief Meng’s knees weakened, and she fell to the ground with a thud, trembling non-stop like sifting rice.

The Sixth Prince is deeply cherished by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor; there had been rumors in the palace that he might replace the Crown Prince to become the heir to the throne.

Glancing at Ye Lingyue beside her, Vice Chief Meng instantly realized that she had been tricked by this wretched girl.

"Sixth Prince, this is all a misunderstanding, your servant was momentarily confused, please look upon my years of service in the Imperial Hospital, and spare me this once," Vice Chief Meng pleaded while continuously kowtowing.

In a short while, her forehead swelled red, looking quite pitiable.

The anger in the eyes of the Sixth Prince had not subsided, and General Chi Yan beside him remained unwavering.

"Spare you this time, when you made Princess Ye choose the seeds, did you ever think of sparing her? You should taste the humiliation she suffered yourself." The Sixth Prince finished speaking, and General Chi Yan, understanding the intent.

He picked up a sack that had been prepared in advance, the contents of which were all poured out.
