Long Fei Ye lifted his robes and sat down in front of Han Yunxi. Cold, he said, "Zhao mama, add another pair of chopsticks. This prince will be having dinner here tonight."
Hearing that His Highness was staying for dinner, Zhao mama was naturally delighted. She immediately added more chopsticks and bowls as she said with a smile, "Your Highness, Your Highness, please wait a moment. This servant will go to the kitchens to add a few more dishes, as well as a jug of Your Highness's favorite grape wine."
Unfortunately, neither Long Fei Ye nor Han Yunxi paid any attention to her. The two of them were currently staring at each other. When Zhao mama saw that the atmosphere wasn't right, she immediately shut her mouth and resentfully slipped away.
Han Yunxi looked at Long Fei Ye for a moment before her gaze moved down and landed on the small bundle on the table.
She deliberately put down her chopsticks and asked unhappily, "Your Highness, it's not good for you to just throw this thing around, right?"
No matter what it was, even if he wanted to give it to her, he shouldn't throw it over like this. So rude.
"This is indeed not something that can be casually thrown around. It's best if you keep it well. Don't let this prince see it a second time." Long Fei Ye warned.
When these words came out, Han Yunxi was puzzled. Could it be that this bundle contained her things?
"My things?" She asked suspiciously.
A trace of disdain appeared on Long Fei Ye's lips, but he didn't reply.
Han Yunxi hurriedly took it and carefully opened it. Who knew that what greeted her eyes was actually … actually her shoes and socks!
One shoe and one sock, which were the ones she took off in Solitary Park last night.
Last night, her feet had been bandaged with medicine and they were so swollen that she couldn't wear shoes and socks, so she could only go barefoot. She had completely forgotten about these things. Who knew that Long Fei Ye would actually bring them back for her.
Although these things couldn't be casually thrown around, it wasn't enough for him to throw them over with a dark face!
Although her heart was dissatisfied, Han Yunxi was still very polite, "Many thanks to Your Highness. Chenqie will remember."
Unexpectedly, Long Fei Ye asked Coldly, "So, that night, you didn't wear shoes, went into the prison barefoot, and went to the Han family barefoot?"
The ancients were conservative, and this man was simply an antique among the conservatives. Who cared whether she was barefoot or not? He was not her real husband, so he was too nosy.
Han Yunxi answered honestly, "Yes!"
As soon as he said this, Long Fei Ye suddenly frowned and narrowed his eyes dangerously.
Han Yunxi didn't want to pay attention to him. However, being stared at by him, she felt a murderous aura around her.
Good women don't fight with old men!
She hurriedly explained, "Chenqie's feet are wrapped in thick gauze, so I can't wear shoes and socks."
As she spoke, she was afraid that this fellow wouldn't believe her, so she hurriedly kicked him and lifted her skirt. "If you don't believe me, look!"
Long Fei Ye tilted his head to look and saw that Han Yunxi's injured feet were wrapped in thick layers of white gauze from her ankle to her toes. Those who didn't know better would think that it was a plaster cast.
Long Fei Ye seemed to be very satisfied with this. He retracted his gaze and didn't pursue the matter. He coughed lightly and asked mildly, "You applied medicine last night. Is it still not better?"
Haha …
Han Yunxi sneered inwardly. This fellow was satisfied and knew how to care for others?
He was satisfied, but she was still unhappy.
Han Yunxi raised her head and narrowed her eyes into a smile, her expression completely harmless.
Long Fei Ye was stunned. What was this woman smiling about?
Unexpectedly, Han Yunxi's expression immediately changed. Her face was gloomy as she said Coldly, "Thanks to Your Highness, it won't recover so quickly."
Actually, it was just a sprain. Moreover, Long Fei Ye's medicine was quite effective, so it would recover very quickly. However, she had almost been crippled by this fellow last night. The strength of his hands when applying medicine was enough to ruin her feet.
Han Yunxi changed her expression as quickly as flipping a book. Long Fei Ye didn't expect this and was silent. Han Yunxi smiled again. "Thank you for Your Highness' concern."
Long Fei Ye looked at her and became even more silent. His deep gaze deepened.
Han Yunxi hated the feeling of being inferior in front of this fellow the most. Even though she was a little timid, she still met his gaze openly.
At this moment, Long Fei Ye suddenly stood up.
He was leaving?
Han Yunxi immediately lowered her eyes and ignored the disappointment in her heart. So what if she was bold enough to provoke him? Wasn't this fellow always like this? He would either be so domineering that she couldn't say anything, or leave without saying a word.
Unexpectedly, Long Fei Ye didn't leave. Instead, he changed his position and sat down beside Han Yunxi.
"Feet." His voice was cold as he said one word.
Han Yunxi was stunned and blurted out, "What are you doing?"
Long Fei Ye didn't answer. Instead, he reached out and picked up her feet, placing them on his thighs.
"Let go!"
Han Yunxi was fierce. She was about to struggle when Long Fei Ye held her down and said in a low voice, "Don't move."
Han Yunxi still wanted to struggle, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move. She frowned as she looked at him. She couldn't see his face, but she realized that this fellow's side profile looked better than his face. The lines were so perfect that they looked like they were carved. He was especially cold and handsome.
Han Yunxi looked at him and unknowingly quieted down.
Long Fei Ye pressed down on Han Yunxi's feet with one hand and used the other to untie the bundles of gauze that were wrapped around Han Yunxi's feet. There were a lot of gauze, at least twenty layers thick.
Unlike last night, his movements were much gentler tonight. He untied the layers one by one, and his patience wasn't inferior to that of a professional physician like Han Yunxi.
Han Yunxi watched silently. She didn't know why, but when she saw his careful movements, her heart unknowingly became cautious as well.
After a while, the gauze wrapped around her ankle and toes were all untied.
Last night, this fellow's rough punishment, coupled with the fact that she didn't have a good rest after getting injured, caused her ankle to be even more swollen than last night.
Long Fei Ye looked down and his eyes darkened.
"Medicine," he said indifferently.
Han Yunxi was stunned and blurted out, "What?"
"There's medicine in the cloth bundle." He didn't look up, and his gaze was fixed on her ankle.
Han Yunxi then understood. She hurriedly searched the cloth bundle and found a bottle of medicine. It was the same bottle that was used last night.
This fellow even brought medicine over.
Han Yunxi suddenly regretted being so petty and sarcastic towards him. She didn't dare to look at him. She lowered her head and handed the medicine over.
Long Fei Ye opened the bottle and poured some into his palms. He first rubbed it in his palms, then lifted Han Yunxi's ankle with one hand like last night. Only this time, his movements were extremely gentle.
The moment his palm touched her ankle, Han Yunxi felt as if the skin on her foot had touched ice. The burning pain disappeared in an instant. She instinctively looked up at him. At this moment, Long Fei Ye was also looking over.
When their eyes met, Han Yunxi's ears suddenly burned. She couldn't control it even if she wanted to.
Damn it!
She cursed herself in her heart, afraid that Long Fei Ye would find out.
"Does it hurt like this?" Long Fei Ye asked indifferently.
Han Yunxi immediately shook her head when she got nervous. Actually, it did hurt a little.
Long Fei Ye covered her ankle with his other hand and gently placed it on the red and swollen area. He asked again, "How about this?"
The cold sensation covered her skin from top to bottom and seeped into her body. It made her tense muscles relax, and there was an indescribable sense of relief.
"It doesn't hurt." Han Yunxi shook her head again. This time, it really didn't hurt.
Long Fei Ye's hand moved up and down, gently rubbing it open. However, just this gentle rubbing caused Han Yunxi to feel as if she had been electrocuted. She couldn't help but have goosebumps all over her body.
His palm was warm, and the medicine was cold. The feeling of cold and hot rubbing against each other was indescribably wonderful. Han Yunxi felt as if she couldn't take it anymore. Long Fei Ye was still continuing. His technique was superb. Gradually, his movements expanded and his strength increased. However, Han Yunxi didn't feel any pain. She only felt her foot relax. This was simply a kind of enjoyment. She slowly closed her eyes and couldn't help but exclaim inwardly, "So comfortable!"
Who would have thought that at this moment, a loud bang could be heard from the door.
Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi both turned to see Zhao mama standing awkwardly at the door. Her feet were scattered all over the floor.
Zhao mama was frightened. She had served His Highness Duke of Qin for so long, but she had never seen him personally apply medicine for anyone. Moreover, it was a woman. Moreover, he was massaging her.
Seeing Zhao mama's astonished expression, Han Yunxi lowered her head and also felt awkward. She felt as if she and Long Fei Ye had done something shameful.
However, Long Fei Ye acted as if nothing had happened. Coldly, he said, "Zhao mama, go get some gauze."
Zhao mama was stunned for a moment and didn't move.
"You're still not going?" Long Fei Ye asked in displeasure.
Only then did Zhao mama regain her senses. She hurriedly said, "Yes! Yes! This servant will go right away! "
"Are you feeling better now?" Long Fei Ye asked mildly. There was no coldness in his deep eyes, but there was also no concern. It was as if he was asking an unimportant question.
Han Yunxi looked into his eyes and suddenly realized that she didn't understand this man at all.
"I'm feeling better," she answered truthfully.
Taking the gauze from Zhao mama, Long Fei Ye nimbly bandaged her wound. Only then did Han Yunxi realize that he was very experienced in bandaging her wound. It seemed that he often did this.
Did he often bandage her wound? Or did he often help others?
Han Yunxi was still in a daze when Long Fei Ye finished bandaging her wound. There were only two thin layers of gauze.
"This won't hinder you from wearing shoes and socks," he said expressionlessly. He was actually still thinking about this.
Han Yunxi couldn't help but burst out in laughter. Long Fei Ye immediately frowned and said Coldly, "Is there a problem?"
"No, it's quite good." Han Yunxi didn't dare to tell the truth. She was thinking that whoever really married this conservative man in the future and became his true wife would be under his strict control.
Who knows, he might even shelter his mistress and raise her in his boudoir, not showing her face to anyone.
Long Fei Ye didn't ask any more questions. He put her foot down and threw the ointment to her. He said mildly, "It's not a big problem. You can change it again tomorrow. Don't touch water and walk less."
"Okay." Han Yunxi nodded. The famous doctor of a generation instantly turned into an obedient patient.
Long Fei Ye got up. He didn't have any intention of staying for dinner and turned to leave.
"How's Your Highness' investigation of the Han family's matter going?" Han Yunxi asked anxiously.
"Not yet," Long Feiye replied without stopping his steps.
Han Yunxi didn't look back and didn't ask any more questions. She lowered her eyes and listened to his footsteps in silence.
Suddenly, Long Fei Ye opened his mouth. "Is there any progress on the tea leaves?"
Han Yunxi immediately looked back and saw him standing at the door, looking in her direction.
"There's a bit of progress. Tomorrow, I'll be going to the Heavenly Fragrance Teahouse with the Young General." She quickly replied.
Long Fei Ye nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He turned around and left.
After his figure disappeared, Han Yunxi slowly turned back to look at the table full of food. She didn't know why she was so happy, but she couldn't help but burst out in laughter.
Zhao mama was baffled as she watched from the side. His Highness didn't stay for dinner, but esteemed wangfei was still happy?
She timidly asked, "Esteemed wangfei, the food is already cold. Do you want this old servant to warm it up?"
"No need."
Han Yunxi picked up her chopsticks. Her appetite seemed to have improved as she ate in big mouthfuls and drank large mouthfuls of soup.
That night, the lights in Long Fei Ye's bedroom were lit the entire time. Han Yunxi leaned against the chaise lounge by the window in deep thought. Unknowingly, she fell asleep …
