Seeing that Long Fei Ye didn't understand, Han Yunxi's eyes flashed with a complicated look. She knew that Long Fei Ye wanted her to deal with Ning Cheng in addition to official business.
She really didn't know how Long Fei Ye would deal with Ning Cheng. She couldn't help but admit that she was a little apprehensive. After all, that was her bottom line, and it was Long Fei Ye's bottom line.
Usually, Long Fei Ye would have the heart to kill her if she revealed her feet, let alone …
She was worried that Long Fei Ye would really stab Ning Cheng's other eye blind!
At this time, Gu Beiyue stood up. "Your Highness, Princess, this subordinate still has to prepare some medicinal herbs for use on the road. I'll take my leave first."
Gu Beiyue deliberately glanced at Han Yunxi. Only then did Han Yunxi return to her senses. She said lightly, "I'll go with you. Let Ling 'er, that lass, help out too."
Gu Beiyue seemed to be afraid that Han Yunxi wouldn't leave, so he deliberately gestured for her to leave. Han Yunxi went out with him and personally closed the door for Long Fei Ye and Ning Cheng.
"Princess, let's go." Gu Beiyue didn't try to persuade her. That was all he said.
However, since Gu Beiyue had spoken, Han Yunxi knew that she could rest assured. Long Fei Ye probably wouldn't commit murder or arson.
She and Gu Beiyue walked towards the rear courtyard.
"Did you check Ning Cheng's hand again these two days? Is there really no way to save it? Could it be that we saw wrongly? "Han Yunxi asked in a low voice. When she saw Ning Cheng's movements just now, it was very natural. She couldn't tell that he had a prosthetic hand at all. Han Yunxi sincerely hoped that she and Gu Beiyue had been mistaken that night.
During the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period, there was a form of torture known as "Hang", which involved cutting off the legs of the criminal. At that time, there were many people who were tortured, so there were many people who had lost their legs. At that time, someone invented artificial limbs, and there were even peddlers who specialized in selling artificial limbs. There were also traces of artificial limbs in the historical records of Greece and Rome, as well as in archaeological records.
Cloud Realm Continent's medical standards far surpassed the historical imperial court she knew. She believed that this continent had artificial limbs, but Ning Cheng's arm was made of real flesh and blood. She couldn't tell at all!
Gu Beiyue shook his head helplessly. "Princess, it can't be wrong. I examined it again in detail. The tendons of Master Ning's arm were alive, but the bones were dead. They were fake bones, or artificial limbs. Although the curative effect was not good, the doctor was able to keep the flesh and blood of Master Ning's arm so that it would not wither and die. I am unable to help you. "
Only then did Han Yunxi give up. "Forget it, forget it."
Gu Beiyue had not only examined Ning Cheng's arm, but Ning Cheng's palm as well. Naturally, he'd seen the needle. But he would never tell anyone about it, no matter who it was.
When they reached the rear courtyard, there was no need for Han Yunxi to search. Mu Ling 'er was already picking through the medicinal plants that the Shadow Guard had just delivered.
All of them had burns on their bodies, so they naturally had to prepare medicine. Moreover, they were planning to send Ning Cheng to the army before heading to the Poison Sect's forbidden grounds and use the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion to lure Bai Yanqing out. As meticulous as Gu Beiyue was, he'd prepared common medicinal ingredients for the trip.
"Princess, shall this subordinate take your pulse again?" Gu Beiyue suddenly asked.
Han Yunxi wanted to ask a certain question, but Mu Ling 'er was here, so she held back. If Mu Ling 'er, a girl who didn't know how to make a fuss, heard that question, Long Fei Ye, Gu, and even Jin Zi might find out.
Unlike last time, Gu Beiyue let go of Han Yunxi's hand after a while and said, "Princess, you should take advantage of the next two days to rest well. If you keep working like this, your body won't be able to take it. "
"Is there a problem?" Han Yunxi asked.
"It's a small problem, a problem with your blood and Qi." Gu Beiyue said as he wrote a prescription for Mu Ling 'er to prepare. "When small problems come together, a big problem will come."
Mu Ling 'er hadn't been in a good mood recently. She glanced at the prescription and didn't think too much about it. She immediately picked the herbs from the pile and casually said, "What a coincidence. We have all these herbs."
Han Yunxi didn't pay attention to this coincidence. She thought to herself that there was no hope for her this month. She'd drink Gu Beiyue's medicine and work hard next month!
Long Fei Ye hadn't mentioned this problem until now. She didn't know if he was troubled by it. He was probably so busy that he'd forgotten about it.
"Princess, what are you thinking about?" Gu Beiyue asked.
"Nothing!" Han Yunxi snapped back to her senses. She looked at Mu Ling 'er and immediately realized that Mu Ling' er's eyes were swollen. This girl had cried again.
Suddenly, Mu Ling 'er looked up and asked, "Sister, Ning Cheng is awake. Can we get Jin Zi to see him?"
"Why?" Han Yunxi was puzzled.
"Sister, Ning Cheng and Jin Zi have been master and servant for many years. They're also friends. Jin Zi … Jin Zi has always been thinking about Ning Cheng. Just let him see Ning Cheng! "Mu Ling 'er said seriously.
She wasn't lying, because Jin Zi had indeed asked her before. Of course, she still had a lot of selfish motives. She hoped that Ning Cheng could help her persuade Jin Zi.
"You can take him there later!" Han Yunxi agreed readily.
How could the silly Ling 'er win against her incomparably shrewd sister! Han Yunxi wanted to use this opportunity to let Ning Cheng test Jin Zi and ask him what was going on between Jin Zi and Mu Ling 'er. More importantly, she was still hoping that Ning Cheng could get Deacon Jin to help them.
Regardless of whether Deacon Jin was a direct descendant of the Black Clan or not, once he revealed his Beast Taming Technique, who in the Black Clan wouldn't submit to him? If he helped, at least some of Jun Yi Xie's subordinates in Northern Li would surrender. This way, the war would be less chaotic. Whether it was the soldiers on both sides, or the herdsmen in the southern part of Northern Li, they would all suffer less.
Deacon Jin was full of hostility towards them, especially her, the person who had cheated his entire bank. She naturally couldn't show her face. However, Ning Cheng could talk nicely with Deacon Jin.
Seeing that Han Yunxi agreed, Ling 'er was overjoyed, "I'll go call him now!"
"Wait, go tonight or tomorrow." Han Yunxi stopped her.
Mu Ling 'er didn't understand, "Ning Cheng wants to rest, right?"
"Your … your brother-in-law has something to do with him …" Han Yunxi thought for a moment, then used a word, "Talk about it in detail."
"Oh!" Mu Ling 'er thought it was an important matter, so she waited obediently.
Gu Beiyue squatted at the side, picking medicinal herbs. He turned back to look at Han Yunxi, and the corners of his mouth hooked up into a faint smile, helpless and doting.
How could Long Fei Ye talk about it in detail with Ning Cheng?
A gentleman uses his mouth and not his fists, but a man doesn't talk nonsense!
Long Fei Ye's figure flashed forward, and a fist smashed towards Ning Cheng's face, directly sending Ning Cheng flying to the bed.
He had wanted to settle the score for Ning Cheng tearing Han Yunxi's clothes for a long, long time! He didn't care how many injuries Ning Cheng had on his body! Daring to bully his woman like that, he had to pay the price!
Ning Cheng spat out a mouthful of blood, and supported himself on the bed. He obviously couldn't get up, but he still forced himself to. But as soon as he got up, Long Feiye punched him again and sent him sprawling on the ground.
Ning Cheng got up again, and Long Fei Ye still beat him!
After three punches, Ning Cheng was completely lying on the bed, unable to get up. He spat out a large amount of blood, and his already pale face became a terrifying white.
"Do you regret it?" Long Fei Ye finally spoke.
"Regret." Ning Cheng honestly said.
"This crown prince would rather you collude with Jun Yixie," Long Feiye looked down at him disdainfully. If Ning Cheng really colluded with Jun Yi Xie, he could happily kill him. There was no need to consider the big picture.
Ning Cheng's lips curled into a cold smile, "It's a pity that I don't!"
"In the northern expedition, as long as there is a single defeat, this prince will not be polite!" Long Fei Ye said.
His meaning was that if Ning Cheng lost a single battle, he would not agree to Han Yunxi's promise of becoming a king.
"Is your highness using public office to avenge private wrongs?" Ning Cheng could still laugh.
Long Fei Ye generously admitted, "Yes!"
"Alright, this one will remember!" Ning Cheng honestly said. Actually, he was very clear that if Long Fei Ye wanted to use public office to avenge private wrongs, he wouldn't be alive today. If he wanted to be the Di Family's mortal enemy, the Di Family wouldn't have a chance to cooperate with the East Qin army. Even if he wasn't convinced, he still admired Long Fei Ye's magnanimity as an emperor.
Although Northern Li's situation was very chaotic and the northern expedition had a large advantage, how could it be possible to guarantee victory? Unless a miracle happened. Long Fei Ye's goal was very clear. After the battle, he wanted him to disappear from Han Yunxi's sight forever.
"Remember to return that purple muslin robe to this prince!" Long Fei Ye still remembered this matter.
Ning Cheng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and replied, "Alright!"
Long Fei Ye turned to leave, but Ning Cheng suddenly shouted out, directly calling his name, "Long Fei Ye!"
Long Fei Ye ignored him.
Ning Cheng said, "Long Fei Ye, after the battle, do you dare to drink with me? If you win, I'll leave. If you lose, I'll stay? "
He wanted to stay, not for anything else, but to give the Di Family's brothers who had risked their lives for him. They were there to fight for the country, but the country couldn't be without them. In the Di Family, other than those in charge, there were many brothers who silently contributed. Once he left, the Ning Family's brothers would disband and scatter to other armies, being ostracized.
He wanted to stay, but also for Han Yunxi, for his princess. Eastern and Western Qin cooperated, but in the end, they were divided into factions. The Di Family was the princess's only backing. How could he leave without worry?
Long Fei Ye stopped and laughed, "Ning Cheng, if you want to drink with this prince, first take down Northern Li. Remember, this prince won't allow you to lose a single battle! "
This, was Long Fei Ye's condition, and also his bottom line.
"Alright, it's a deal! If I don't lose, please prepare some good wine! "Ning Cheng said loudly.
When Long Fei Ye left, he couldn't help but vomit several mouthfuls of blood. Long Fei Ye's three punches had been so heavy that he'd almost fainted. If he hadn't clenched his left hand so tightly that the needle in his palm would've jolted him awake, he would've fainted long ago.
His crippled arm was his loyal dream of reviving his country; his crippled hand was his hidden infatuation. When all his iron-blooded ambitions and tenderness fell on a woman, he had no right to choose.
Besides the dead Jun Yi Xie, Uncle Cheng, and Bai Yuqiao, as well as Ning An, who'd always been guarding Tianning's imperial palace, who else in this world knew his heart?
Even Han Yunxi only thought he'd offended her in order to find out her identity.
Was it a calamity, or a redemption, that he could swear loyalty to a woman he wasn't allowed to like?
It wasn't a calamity, nor a redemption, but a life.
He was willing to accept this fate and risk his life for it!
Before Mu Ling 'er could bring Jin Zi over, Ning Cheng had already sent someone to fetch it …
