He found a fellow disciple who he knew a little bit. He carefully helped the person up who seemed to get seriously injured, "Are you alright?"
"Uh..." That person looked at Ming Qingyu and blinked his eyes vaguely. Ming Qingyu frowned and infused spiritual power to him, which made him better off.
"Can you hear me?"
"Yeah." The fellow disciple nodded slowly.
"Can you tell me what happened today? How did you get injured?" Ming Qingyu frowned when he asked. He took Ye Lan's side, but his manner didn't allow him to solve this issue arbitrarily by using his status. He needed to prove Ye Lan's innocence.
"We... Yu Qingqing was jealous of Ye Lan's beauty, so she made sarcastic remarks and whipped Ye Lan. But Yu Qingqing was defeated, so we came up to help. Yu Qingqing asked us to kill Ye Lan, but we were not comparable." The man finished the story brokenly. Now he dared not lie even if his courage was ten times multiplied. He had witnessed Ye Lan's cruelty. When that person thought of it, he started to panic as if the hell were in front of him. He shivered and grabbed Ming Qingyu's sleeve, "Sixth Prince, sixth prince, I'm wrong. I'm wrong! Please forgive me! Please forgive me! Save me, save me, please save me!"
Ming Qingyu frowned, and the guards behind him came up and controlled the person. Immediately, a doctor came to diagnose him, "There was too much heat in his heart and he can no longer hold it!" That person started to tremble all over, turned black, and foamed at the mouth right after the doctor finished speaking.
Everybody knew what happened after hearing it. Yu Qingqing wanted to bully the few with the many, but she didn't expect they were not cowards or pushovers. Reversely, she was given a lesson, so she felt unfair and decided to set the winners up.
"Wow, you see, I've told you. It must be Yu Qingqing; she could do this kind of thing."
"Yes, she can do anything with the help of her family."
"And she prefers to act fragile. Ewww."
"Damn it! Yu Qingqing is so malicious."
"She deserves it. She hurts herself with her own whip. Hahaha!" Yu Qingqing inevitably heard the ever-growing discussion. She was so mad that she shivered. Damn it; she would've killed this person if he were not burnt and unrecognizable.
"Brother Ming, it was Ye Lan who killed him, you have to avenge for us! Ye Lan threatened him to say so, brother Ming! It was Ye Lan. Ye Lan has done all these!" Yu Qingqing defended herself in a hoarse voice.
"Let's save him first!" Ming Qingyu became gloomy after hearing this. Yu Qingqing's ambition never died until there was no way out.
Ye Lan didn't want to save him, but the trouble was made by her. Libao came over and pushed Ye Lan with his elbow, " Lanbao, you caused the trouble, at least do something!"
"I hurt him, and then I saved him. Am I making trouble for myself?" Ye Lan looked at Libao with her neck craned. She knew she came here at the right time, but she didn't want to admit.
"Well," Libao frowned and smiled, "but he would be grateful for you if you save him now!"
"That’s troublesome!" Ye Lan twitched her lips and walked towards Ming Qingyu unwillingly.
Libao happily looked at Ye Lan behaving this way. Finally, she was not cold and aloof like the goddess in the moon. He liked Ye Lan with human senses.
Once the legendary Beast signed a contract with the master, from the master's point of view, they swim or sink together. Ye Lan's sharply increasing psychic stage was helpful for Libao's as well.
Libao gradually realized that he could feel Ye Lan's thoughts, which was unexpected. If Saint Beast could feel the master's thoughts, at least it would show that the master treated the Saint Beast sincerely.
Libao was touched by the trust.
"Let me do it!" Ye Lan passed Ming Qingyu and squatted next to that person. The doctor could do nothing to handle the urgent heat in the heart and the thunder stroke unless there were some extremely cold things gradually permeating into the person's body to remove the heat poison. But the quantity was hard to control, and it also needed someone with a high psychic stage to spend lots of time helping him. Neither of them was easy to find.
"Young lady, you can't try it at random!" said the doctor. He, being arrogant because of his rich experience, got offended by Ye Lan's effortless words.
Ye Lan didn't want to respond, and she made and threw a pill with blue light to Ming Qingyu's guard. "Feed him!"
"Hey, what kind of medicine is this? How dare you give it to people directly? Oh, young lady, stop!" The doctor frowned and stopped her instantly. Ming Qingyu's guard turned his head to Ming Qingyu. Ming Qingyu nodded to show his approval. He believed in Ye Lan's medicine. Last time in Forest of Beasts, it was also Ye Lan who saved his life, so he had no reason or intention not to believe her.
"Stop! What if he dies after he takes the medicine?! Oh, you young people! How can you be so careless? Nonsense!"
Ye Lan turned around without looking back. Ming Qingyu turned around and saw Ye Lan. He hurriedly ran after her and grabbed her wrist, "Hold on! I'll handle it well!"
"Hey, you can't leave. What if the man dies?" The doctor was shouting confusedly. But shortly, there burst laughter. "It doesn't matter if he dies, because she made all these! Hahaha!"
"Well..." The doctor was choked. He rolled his eyes and couldn't help to swear in his heart.
Ye Lan turned around and stopped. She saw Ming Qingyu's anxious but firm eyes. She didn't want to bother, but she was willing to be responsible for what she should've been. She nodded with a cold stare, "Okay!" After finishing the sentence, she winked, as a hint for Ming Qingyu to let her go. Ming Qingyu then realized he was too fearful of her leaving, so he grabbed her. He let her go and felt relieved in his heart, but at the same time, a feeling of loss seized him.
"Wow! Look at him! He seems to be alive!" Somebody whispered suddenly. Ming Qingyu turned around instantly and saw the man slowly opened his eyes. The man stopped shaking, and the black marks on his hands gradually faded away. The doctor surprisedly looked at the patient by his side, and then he looked at Ye Lan with his eyes full of amazement.
"Let's go and have a look?" Ming Qingyu smiled and suggested.
"Okay." Ye Lan followed him obediently.
"Feel better?" Ming Qingyu was condescending, even if he didn't show the slightest sign of disrespect, his natural royal demeanor was unbearable.
"Yeah." The man nodded to show he was much better and even sat up to prove it.
"Okay, in that case, repeat what happened!" Ming Qingyu usually was a gentleman, but now he was mad. He wasn't that accessible when he showed his majesty, and he was more and more like an emperor.
"Well..." The man covered his chest and nodded. People could understand better this time when he repeated the whole story in detail.
"You are lying. She picked up the fight first. It's her. You..." Yu Qingqing also covered her chest, full of grief, complained loudly, as if she was the only victim, which made her look particularly piteous.
"Maybe he got threatened?"
'Probably. After all, Ming Qingyu is from the royal family. If he wants to defend a woman, who dares to refute?"
"Alright, and that woman doesn't look nice at all. He might be afraid that his entire family would be exterminated."
Similar remarks gradually grew. Ye Lan exclaimed in her mind, 'What a pity that Yu Qingqing is not an actress!'
Therefore, both praise and blame rose, and the Dean of the Law Enforcement was still angry. Ming Qingyu frowned in secret with his fingers cracking. He couldn't let people blame Ye Lan for no reason.
Ming Qingyu frowned and turned around to the guard. The guard responded. After whispering for a while, the guard passed a pill to Ming Qingyu. It was different from other medicine, and everybody knew this one—the breeze pill.
This pill made people tell the truth. This thing, in Ye Lan's eyes, was like hypnosis in modern times, which was hypnotics. After controlling people's central nervous system, the pill could make people confess their truest feelings.
Of course, in this era, such a thing was magical.
Ye Lan had already known what Ming Qingyu wanted to do. She looked at Yu Qingqing coldly without saying anything, which gave Yu Qingqing a shiver.
Yu Qingqing looked back and found Ming Qingyu walking slowly towards her with a pill in his hand. Yu Qingqing was touched and thought he changed his mind. But out of her expectation, she wanted to flee away after she had a close look at the pill. Unfortunately, the female doctor was behind her, and she was surrounded by people. Fengtian Academy was full of common people and its students. Shortly after, the family members of the ladies and gentlemen who usually hung out with her would arrive. Yu Qingqing was trembling out of fear, thinking of what would happen next. She could be cunning, but she couldn't destroy her images. If she had the pill today, she would become a joke to the whole imperial capital. No, she couldn't take it. Of course not. Yu Qingqing retreated shivering, but she was so badly injured and couldn't move. She grimaced in pain and shook her head so hard when she looked at Ming Qingyu, hoping he could let her go out of mercy.
Ye Lan admired what Ming Qingyu did. Ming Qingyu had given Yu Qingqing a chance, but she wasted it herself. Who else could she blame?
What a pity! What a pity!
Ming Qingyu acted quickly and hit Yu Qingqing's acupoint, so she couldn't move. Ming Qingyu pushed the pill into her mouth and then hit her acupoint again, so she could move again. She gulped the pill and then looked dull.
