Chapter 399 The Death of the Coachman
The butler's expression turned serious, and he shook his head.
Ye Qing'an frowned immediately: "Is there no antidote, or no news? Or has something happened to Fei Ran?"
"There is news from Mr. Qingyuan, but he said that the Second Young Master is deeply poisoned, and the poison has penetrated into his bone marrow, so it will not be easy to detoxify him."
Ye Qing'an's face showed a hint of anxiety: "If it's just not easy, does that mean it can still be solved?"
"Yes, but it will be a little troublesome." The butler lowered his head: "They said that the second young master needs to stay there for a while to slowly remove the poison from his body. Even after the poison is removed, he will still need to recuperate carefully for several years to slowly recover."
Ye Qing'an gritted her teeth, her face full of self-blame: "It's all my fault for being incompetent and having no way to find out who drugged Fei Ran."
After Ye Qing'an finished speaking, she took another deep breath: "If that Mr. Qingyuan can really cure Feiran, it would be fine to let him stay there for a few years so that Mr. Qingyuan can take good care of his health. However, if Feiran stays there, can we go and visit him?"
"Of course he can. Doctor Xu has already spoken to his master and told him not to travel around until the Second Young Master has completely removed the poison from his body. He should just stay in Liuyun City."
Ye Qing'an responded, "If it's just Liuyun City, then it's fine. Liuyun City isn't too far from here."
"Yes."
Ye Qing'an remained silent for a while before walking back into the courtyard.
"When I went out earlier, I heard a storyteller telling stories in a restaurant. He said that there were strange phenomena in the sky this morning because a new Supreme Being was born. The Supreme Being must be very powerful, right?"
“That’s natural.” The butler nodded. “Supreme beings are extremely rare. We can find about ten Holy Spirits, but Supreme beings are very few. Although Holy Spirits and Supreme beings seem to be only one level apart, the strength of a Supreme being is more than ten times that of a Holy Spirit.”
“Ah…” Ye Qing’an blinked: “That is indeed very powerful. Everyone outside is talking about whether the Emperor can bring this new Supreme Being under his command. I hope the Emperor can bring him under his command. If the Emperor brings that new Supreme Being under his command, with such a powerful Supreme Being, the Taotie beast that is currently troubling everyone seems to be insignificant.”
"Yes."
Ye Qing'an tilted her head again: "But they said that the phoenix's rebirth from the ashes this morning indicates that the new Supreme Being is a woman. It takes a very long time to cultivate to the Supreme Being level. By the time a woman reaches the age where she can cultivate to the Supreme Being level, she is probably already married with children and grandchildren around her. It would be difficult for her to be born."
The steward had already heard these rumors, and when Ye Qing'an told him, he didn't show any particular expression on his face.
After Ye Qing'an finished speaking, he smiled and said, "No matter what, it has been almost ten years since a new Supreme has been born. Now that a new Supreme has appeared, although we don't know whether it is good or bad, it will definitely bring a new situation and opportunities, which is a good thing."
"Yes, these are all good things."
Ye Qing'an waved her hand: "I have nothing else to say. If the steward has something to attend to, please go ahead and do your work."
"Yes."
The butler stopped in his tracks and watched as Ye Qing'an walked briskly towards the backyard, her figure gradually disappearing into the distance, before raising his hand.
A dark figure appeared immediately behind the butler, without making a sound.
The butler pursed his lips: "Find a painter to go to Qianjiang Tower and have the manager of Qianjiang Tower draw the appearance of the young master who left with the young lady earlier. Then send the hidden guards to investigate and find out the identity and background of that person."
"Go and find the coachman. He was the only one who was with the young lady earlier. Ask him carefully where the young master took them."
"Yes."
Just as he left, a servant rushed over: "Steward, something terrible has happened!"
In recent days, the housekeeper has heard these words countless times.
Upon hearing this, I felt the veins on my forehead throbbing excitedly: "What happened?"
"Driver..."
The servant rushed over in a hurry, said two words, and then began to pant heavily.
But when the butler heard the word "coachman," his expression changed: "Has something happened to the young lady's coachman?"
The servant nodded, then caught his breath and said, "He's dead."
"After the young lady entered the manor, the carriage remained stationary. At first, I didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that the coachman hadn't finished tidying up something."
"But after waiting for a while, the driver still didn't move, so I went over to check on him and called out several times, but he didn't answer. I immediately felt something was wrong, so I raised my hand and nudged the driver. To my surprise, the driver fell down as soon as I touched him..."
"I...I tested it again and found that the driver was no longer breathing."
The butler took a deep breath, his face showing some annoyance.
How did the coachman get into this accident?
The coachman was perfectly fine when he picked up Ye Qing'an at the door.
He even paid special attention to the driver's condition at the time.
"Go and have a look."
"How did the coachman die?"
"This..." The servant who came to report was just a gatekeeper and did not know any magic or medicine. Hearing the steward's question, he seemed a little embarrassed: "I don't know either. I just saw that the coachman did not seem to have any obvious injuries. At least he should not have died from external injuries."
"As for the rest, I really don't know much."
The steward responded and then instructed the servants who were cleaning nearby: "Someone, go and invite the physician from the manor over, and invite him to... invite him to the main gate."
The steward initially wanted to have the doctor brought to the stables, but after thinking it over, he decided it was best not to move the coachman's body for the time being.
……
Ye Qing'an had already returned to her courtyard. Wei Mama and Zixiao were still unaware of what had happened outside, and hurriedly came to greet her: "Miss, did something happen to you outside the manor again? I heard earlier that you seemed to have gone missing?"
Ye Qing'an smiled and said, "They're not missing. They're perfectly fine. It's just that there are a lot of people on the street, and the guards somehow lost track of them."
"Where's Eleven?"
Ye Qing'an took off her cloak: "I'm going to check on Eleven. I haven't seen him all day, and I wonder what he's been up to."
As Ye Qing'an spoke, she headed towards the side courtyard.
