On Gu's side, the masked assassins in black fell one by one.
Mu Qingwu and Guard Shangguan weren't stupid enough to not know that they had to capture them alive. However, these assassins were well-trained and knew that they couldn't escape, so they all committed suicide by taking poison.
Long Fei Ye watched from afar. If it was in the past, he would have lost his temper. Were these people useless if they couldn't even capture them alive?
However, at this moment, although he was looking forward, he was absent-minded.
After a while, he retracted his gaze and looked at Han Yunxi.
He saw Han Yunxi squatting on the ground, fiddling with something in her medical bag. Her pale little face was full of seriousness and solemnity.
This wasn't the first time Long Fei Ye saw Han Yunxi so serious, but at this moment, he still couldn't look away.
This woman's beauty was beyond his expectations, but when she was serious, she surpassed her beauty.
Looking at her silently, Long Fei Ye unconsciously raised his hand and gently touched the corner of his lips where she had touched just now.
Finally, Han Yunxi identified the three poisons and found the antidote in the detoxification system that could be taken directly without needing to use acupuncture to expel the poison.
She took out three pills from her medical bag and manually identified them to ensure that there was no mistake.
God knows how nervous and worried she was. If there was one poison in Long Fei Ye's body, even if it was one that she didn't know and couldn't detoxify, like the spider dart poison, then Long Fei Ye would be in danger.
Fortunately, these three poisons were considered ordinary to her.
She thought that poisons like the spider dart, which were almost weaponized, should be very rare.
Once she got the antidote, Han Yunxi suddenly stood up and stretched out her hand. "Long Fei Ye, here, the antidote!"
After saying that, she met his deep gaze. The moment their eyes met, Han Yunxi was stunned. She only felt that Long Fei Ye's eyes had an unspeakable emotion that touched her heart.
What's wrong with him?
Her hand was stretched out in front of him. There were three pills lying in her fair palm. Her movements froze just like that.
Long Fei Ye didn't expect this woman to stand up so quickly. His gaze immediately dodged and soon returned to its usual coldness.
He glanced at Han Yunxi's palm and asked, "Are you sure it's the antidote?"
Han Yunxi looked at him suspiciously and said hurriedly, "I'm sure. Hurry up and take it. You're already vomiting blood. If you don't take it, I'll have to use a scalpel to expel the poison."
Long Feiye nodded and swallowed the antidote in one gulp.
Seeing him take the antidote, Han Yunxi was completely relieved. She heaved a sigh of relief and patted her chest subconsciously.
Long Fei Ye looked at him. "What's wrong?"
"What if I couldn't detoxify your poison? That would be terrible." Han Yunxi smiled and said casually.
Who knew that Long Fei Ye would become serious, and his gaze deepened. "What are you afraid of? Afraid that this prince will die?"
What was she afraid of?
Han Yunxi didn't think that much. She was just anxious and afraid.
Meeting his questioning gaze, she suddenly felt uncomfortable. She only felt that this guy was very strange and seemed to be a little different from usual.
She pursed her lips and said jokingly, "You risked your life to save me. No matter what, I have to save you."
Who knew that Long Fei Ye would say Coldly, "You're thinking too much. This prince only believes that you can detoxify the poison."
If he didn't know that she had the ability to detoxify poison, why would Long Fei Ye, who cherished his life so much, rush down to save her despite the sky full of poison?
After all, what he feared the most was poison.
Risking his life to save her?
This woman wasn't that valuable to him.
Han Yunxi obviously knew that Long Fei Ye was certain that she could detoxify the poison, which was why he came down to save her. In fact, she was already very grateful that he discovered the poisonous mosquito swarm and rushed down to save her. She didn't dare to ask for more than that.
Ignoring the trace of inexplicable sorrow in her heart, Han Yunxi chuckled. "This concubine knows that Your Highness believes that this concubine can detoxify the poison, so this concubine was afraid that I wouldn't be able to detoxify it and let Your Highness sacrifice himself in vain."
Seeing Han Yunxi smile so brightly and so indifferently, Long Fei Ye felt a kind of anger that had nowhere to vent.
He originally thought that this proud woman would refute him, but she actually belittled herself.
"Why did you run to the southern mountains to pick tea for no reason?" Long Fei Ye changed the topic. If this woman hadn't gone to the southern mountains, the assassins wouldn't have had a chance to make their move and there wouldn't have been so much trouble.
"I heard that the Red South Peak is good, so this concubine wants to try it." Han Yunxi was still smiling faintly.
Long Fei Ye looked her up and down and saw the whip wounds on her arms, but he didn't ask. Instead, he said Coldly, "Did those assassins say anything? What clues did they leave behind? "
"That masked man is the true mastermind behind the spies, and he's called their master. His left and right arms are called Hei Sha and Qingyi respectively. They're both women and their mouths are very tight, so I couldn't get anything out of them. I just knew that Qingyi should be the one in charge of all the spies in Tianning. Sister Wen is her direct subordinate, and she was the one who concocted the Ten-Thousand Snake Poison in the young general's body, "Han Yunxi replied seriously.
To her, her greatest regret this time wasn't that she couldn't catch the mastermind, but that she couldn't catch Qingyi!
Han Yunxi hesitated for a moment, then said, "I suspect … Qingyi is hiding in the capital."
A trace of vigilance flashed through Long Fei Ye's eyes as he asked seriously, "Do you have anyone you suspect?"
Although Han Yunxi didn't want to say it, she still had to. This matter involved many aspects, and she couldn't hide anything in front of Long Fei Ye.
After a moment's hesitation, she still opened her mouth. "Qingyi is a middle-aged woman who's taciturn and cautious. Combined with the clues we already have on the Ten-Thousand Snake Poison, I suspect that Qingyi is very likely the Han Family's Third Madame Li, Li Mingmei. "
Then she quickly added, "Of course, this is only a suspicion. After all, there's no evidence for the Ten-Thousand Snake Poison, so it's only a guess."
Long Fei Ye's lips curved into a Cold smile as he said coldly, "We've already found evidence, and the results will be out soon."
"What?" Han Yunxi was shocked. Could it be that Long Fei Ye had found something in the Han Family?
When Long Fei Ye said that Bi Lu had stolen the tea leaves, Han Yunxi was very surprised. She didn't think that it would be like this!
She didn't think that they would actually find the tea leaves. Originally, all the clues pointed to Madame Li and Han Ruoxue, and with the addition of the tea leaves, it was very likely that the tea leaves contained the Ten-Thousand Snake Poison. As long as the Ten-Thousand Snake Poison was found, this case would be solved.
Poisonous tea leaves were very easy to detect. As long as a poison master had a bit of skill, they would be able to detect it. Once they returned, they would know the results.
Thinking of this, Han Yunxi couldn't help but bite her lip as she became nervous.
At this moment, Han Yunxi's feelings were very complicated. She was happy that she was about to solve the case and win the bet, but more importantly, she was heavy. If the crime fell on the Han Family, how many innocent people would be implicated? How would the Han Family be able to recover?
At this moment, Mu Qingwu and the others came over.
When Mu Qingwu came over, he immediately knelt down in front of Han Yunxi. "This official deserves to die. I wasn't able to protect the Princess Consort and let the Princess Consort suffer!"
Seeing this, guard Shangguan also hurriedly knelt down. "It was this official's negligence. This official is guilty. Please punish me, Princess Consort."
"Young General, guard Shangguan, please rise. This happened too suddenly, so it's not your fault." Han Yunxi lightly said. She didn't have the arrogant nature of the royal family and loved to punish people. She only had herself to blame for being too weak after being kidnapped.
Hearing this, guard Shangguan was overjoyed and wanted to thank her. However, Mu Qingwu didn't get up and seriously said, "It was this official who brought the Princess Consort out. This official has the duty to protect the Princess Consort. Please punish me, Princess Consort."
Seeing this, guard Shangguan could only kneel with his head down.
Han Yunxi knew Mu Qingwu's personality and personally bowed to help him up. "Young General, if I was injured, then I would definitely blame you. Now that I'm fine, you can be considered to have done a meritorious deed for saving the Princess Consort. Your merits offset your demerits. "
Mu Qingwu didn't dare to let Han Yunxi help him up and hurriedly stood up. After hesitating for a moment, he could only comply with Han Yunxi's wishes. "Many thanks, Princess Consort!"
"Guard Shangguan, you should also get up." Han Yunxi said.
Guard Shangguan worked so hard just to make up for his demerits. He hurriedly stood up and said with a smile, "Princess Consort is truly blessed by the heavens. You were scared but not in danger. The two of us followed His Highness to track down the poisonous mosquito swarm. We wanted to find the nest of those thieves, but it was a pity that we were so close! "
Hearing this, Han Yunxi's expression froze. She unconsciously looked at Long Fei Ye. She had been wondering why no one had chased after them for so many days. So it was because of this!
Long Fei Ye had discovered the poisonous mosquito swarm long ago, but he didn't make a move the entire time. He wanted to cast a long line to catch a big fish!
So, he used her as bait? He treated her like a child and threw her out to catch a wolf?
She had foolishly been happy because of his appearance, but who would have thought that it would be like this!
This bastard, did he know that if it wasn't for Gu, she would have already been taken away by that black clothed masked man?
Thinking of the black clothed masked man's sinister words, "This senior ….. only wants you", Han Yunxi couldn't help feeling a chill run down her spine. She looked at Long Fei Ye and her eyes were filled with resentment.
Guard Shangguan was speaking the truth, but Long Fei Ye had a Cold look at him. Guard Shangguan's face was blank as he felt killing intent all around him. He quickly lowered his head in fear, not daring to look any further. He didn't know where he had gone wrong.
"Since it's like this, then I'll have to disappoint your highness." Han Yunxi softly said.
"Indeed."
Long Fei Ye was indeed a bit disappointed that he hadn't been able to directly attack the root of the problem this time. He magnanimously accepted Han Yunxi's gaze. Their eyes met, and for some reason, the smell of gunpowder gradually filled the air.
At this moment, a light laugh sounded. "Your Highness Duke of Qin, although you didn't directly attack the nest of those people, it can be considered that you've met the main culprit. Congratulations, this is all due to esteemed wangfei's efforts."
Looking in the direction of the voice, they saw Gu walking over. He was dressed in a red robe that could topple cities and had a brilliant smile that could topple countries. He was simply a great seductive evildoer!
Long Fei Ye had long noticed the existence of this evildoer dressed in red and knew that this person had saved Han Yunxi. He Cold asked, "And who are you?"
Before Gu could speak, Guard Shangguan hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully reported, "Your Highness Duke of Qin, this is our Celestial Fragrance Teashop's owner, Gu."
Celestial Fragrance Teashop's owner?
Han Yunxi looked at Gu in shock. For a moment, all her questions were answered.
So he was the owner of the teashop. No wonder a complete stranger would save her. This guy must have seen her being kidnapped and chased her all the way here.
"Gu greets Your Highness Duke of Qin." Gu bowed with clasped hands. Compared to Guard Shangguan's reverence, he appeared to be neither servile nor overbearing.
Unexpectedly, Long Fei Ye suddenly questioned coldly, "There was a spy in the Celestial Fragrance Teashop that caused Qin Wangfei to be kidnapped. How should he be punished?!"
Guard Shangguan's face paled at these words. He had always been in charge of the Celestial Fragrance Teashop. Up until now, he had been most afraid of His Highness Duke of Qin's condemnation.
Although the Celestial Fragrance Teashop couldn't be considered harboring an assassin, that Huo Yang was a member of the Celestial Fragrance Teashop. He was a spy!
