Han Yunxi took six antidotes. After the antidotes took effect, Long Fei Ye transferred three streams of true energy to her.
Every time the true qi entered her body, Han Yunxi felt refreshed and refreshed. It was as if she'd been instantly filled with blood. Unfortunately, she was still too tired, so this feeling only lasted for a moment.
After three streams of true energy, her pulse wasn't that weak anymore. However, her body still didn't have much strength. She was paralyzed in the crook of Long Fei Ye's arm. She didn't even bother to move her eyelids. Long Fei Ye didn't move either. His arm bore all of her strength.
The surroundings were silent. The flames of the bonfire jumped. The wind under the tree wasn't strong, but they could hear the whistling of the wind in the distance.
Tonight, it looked like they would have to spend the night here.
After a while, Long Fei Ye's handsome brows returned to their usual calmness. He looked at Han Yunxi, who was lying on her side in the crook of his arm. His eyes flashed with a trace of complexity, as if he was thinking about something.
As for Han Yunxi, once the poison in her body was cured, she was relieved to completely hand herself over to Long Fei Ye. Her eyelashes fluttered a few times and her eyes slowly closed.
She fell asleep …
As for the matter with Gu, it seemed that the two of them had forgotten about it. Neither of them took the initiative to mention it since the afternoon.
As the night deepened, Long Fei Ye slowly recovered from his own world. Seeing Han Yunxi sleeping so peacefully, he subconsciously reached out to brush away the strands of hair that had fallen on her cheek.
However, when he touched her hair, his fingers suddenly froze. After pausing for a while, he didn't continue and withdrew his hand.
He didn't like this strange feeling of losing control.
Once he withdrew his hand, he put Han Yunxi down and let her lean against the tree trunk to sleep. He was also sleepy and didn't have the habit of sleeping with a woman!
Just as he was about to climb up the tree, he stopped as he remembered something. He checked Han Yunxi's ankle and found traces of dried blood on the gauze.
"Troublesome!"
Long Feiye had lost count of how many times he'd knitted his brows tonight. He'd just taken out some medicine from his medical pouch and carefully changed the dressing on Han Yunxi's wounds again.
After he finished, it was already the middle of the night. Han Yunxi wrapped herself in the cloak and slept soundly.
Seeing this, Long Fei Ye gently smiled. He really didn't know why this woman didn't have any vigilance? Wasn't she afraid that he would leave her in the wilderness?
He looked down on such a thoughtless woman!
When Han Yunxi woke up the next morning, she found herself leaning against a large tree trunk. The fire in front of her had long been extinguished. She was draped in Long Feiye's cloak, but he was nowhere to be seen.
Where was he?
Her head was still a bit dizzy. After she vomited out the six pills last night, she was in a semi-conscious state. She only remembered that Long Fei Ye had given her three streams of true energy.
As for how she ate the six antidotes and how she fell asleep, she had completely forgotten.
She tried to stretch her arms and found that the wounds on her arms had been treated, and they were treated quite well.
Well, she didn't seem to remember what had happened before she took the medicine.
Her body was recovering quite well. It seemed that the three streams of true energy from last night were still useful, but they took effect rather slowly.
She stood up to stretch her muscles and bones while looking around. She didn't notice that her ankle, which hadn't fully recovered, was already completely healed. No matter how she stepped on it, it didn't hurt.
Long Fei Ye rested his head on his hands and reclined on the tree trunk. With this woman sleeping under a tree in the wilderness, how could he sleep peacefully?
He didn't sleep the entire night. Seeing that the sun had risen, he had just closed his eyes for a while when he was woken up.
Cold, he squinted his eyes and didn't make a sound.
After Han Yunxi stretched her muscles and bones and confirmed that she was fine, her first reaction was to look up at the tree. Immediately, she saw Long Fei Ye staring at her.
How did this woman know that he was in the tree?
Long Fei Ye didn't expect this. After looking at her for a moment, he said Cold, "You're awake?"
Han Yunxi nodded. She knew that this guy wouldn't abandon her. If he wasn't in the tree, he must be nearby.
"Last night … Thank you."
Although she was tormented to death, in the end, it was this guy who saved her.
Long Fei Ye didn't pay attention to her thanks. He landed gracefully from the tree and said Cold, "Return to the capital."
It was time to return to the capital.
Although he didn't directly attack the traitor's nest this time, at least he managed to interrogate a jar of tea leaves at the Celestial Fragrance Teahouse.
Long Fei Ye was still looking forward to the results of the examination.
His words reminded Han Yunxi. She was suddenly shocked and grabbed Long Fei Ye excitedly. "What time is it today?"
Heavens!
How could she forget about the bet?
She didn't even know how long she had been unconscious in the cave, let alone remember how many days she had been kidnapped.
When she went to the Celestial Fragrance Teahouse with Mu Qingwu, there were only twelve days left until the bet with Mu Liuyue. How many days had passed since then? She wouldn't lose because she missed the bet, right?
Long Fei Ye frowned and looked at Han Yunxi's hand. He suddenly said sternly, "Let go!"
So fierce!
Han Yunxi immediately let go. She didn't like to pull and pull with this guy. She was too anxious and her hand slipped.
"I'm fourteen today." Long Fei Ye still answered her.
Upon hearing that it was fourteen, Han Yunxi heaved a huge sigh of relief. Thank goodness, thank goodness. She had almost been scared to death.
The bet with Mu Liuyue ended on the nineteenth. Today was only the fourteenth. Counting from start to finish, there were still six days left.
Yesterday, Long Fei Ye had rushed through the forest like a madman. With his speed, he should be able to return to the capital in one or two days.
Han Yunxi silently counted the time. Long Fei Ye impatiently said, "Are you going or not?"
"Yes!" Han Yunxi immediately answered.
Long Feiye glanced at her unhappily before grabbing her by the waist. Just like yesterday, they began to weave through the forest again.
Han Yunxi felt that the strength around her waist was rather heavy. She couldn't understand why the guy who had ordered her to let go of him in disgust was holding her so tightly now.
What kind of weird mysophobia was this?
Last night, in a daze, he didn't seem so fierce?
He really was a big ice cube whose mood kept changing!
Stealing a glance, Han Yunxi saw Long Fei Ye's cold and resolute profile. She couldn't help but bite her lip. Was she still going to talk about Gu's matters?
He hadn't argued with her since yesterday, so what did he mean by that?
Was he going to insist on punishing the Celestial Fragrance Teashop, or go along with her wishes?
If he insisted on punishing the teashop, he'd probably say a few harsh words to her. After all, she really did threaten him with her words before.
If he went along with her wishes, then fine. Han Yunxi immediately rejected the idea as soon as it appeared in her head.
She'd rather believe that the sun would rise from the west than believe that this guy would obey her wishes under her threats.
Although … he seemed to have obeyed her once or twice, the situation this time was different.
Just what kind of attitude did this guy have?
After being threatened, he took her away without a word. What did he mean by that?
No matter his attitude towards the Celestial Fragrance Teashop, she'd used Emperor Tianhui to threaten him in front of everyone. That was enough to make her suffer the consequences.
There was no reason for this guy not to settle accounts with her.
Actually, Han Yunxi had only been angry because Gu had used her as bait yesterday. She was smart enough to tell that Gu didn't really want to save her, but wanted to use her as bait to uncover the true mastermind behind the scenes.
Otherwise, Gu would have saved her long ago in the cave, wouldn't he?
Now that her anger had subsided, Han Yunxi felt both fear and regret when she thought back to yesterday's crazy threats.
Conflicted, she stole another glance at Long Fei Ye, only to feel the cold aura emanating from his face. In the end, she lowered her head.
If he didn't bring up this matter, could she just treat it as a bygone matter?
As for the Celestial Fragrance Teashop, Gu could go there on his own.
Long Fei Ye's speed was truly fast. By the afternoon of two days later, they'd reached Tianning's capital city and rode a carriage into the city from the west gates.
Long Feiye closed his eyes to take a nap while Han Yunxi snuggled lazily. She decided to ignore everything else when they got back and eat some hot food first. Then she'd soak in a comfortable hot bath to wash away the stench of bad luck.
Unexpectedly, the carriage stopped before it even reached the gates of the Duke of Qin's estate.
"What's going on?" Long Fei Ye immediately opened his eyes.
Through the curtains, the driver's tone was a little anxious. "Your Highness, something seems to have happened up ahead. A large group of people are running forward."
"Take a detour, take the back." Long Fei Ye disliked crowds the most. So speaking, he closed his eyes again. Even if his body was made of iron, he'd still get tired.
The driver quickly turned the carriage around and took a detour to the back gates of the Duke of Qin's estate.
Han Yunxi lifted the curtains and looked outside, only to see the commoners on the streets running forward excitedly to join in the fun.
She didn't take it to heart, but stole a glance at Long Fei Ye before continuing to snuggle up lazily.
But by the time they reached the back gates, they realized that it was the Duke of Qin's estate that was in trouble!
Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi had hardly entered when Steward Xia came running over.
"Your Highness, esteemed wangfei, you're finally back. Something's happened! Something big has happened! "
Steward Xia's anxiousness made Han Yunxi's heart thump against her chest.
"What's the matter? Speak properly." Long Fei Ye was very calm, without any fluctuations in his emotions.
Steward Xia looked at Han Yunxi. Although he was in a difficult position, he still anxiously said, "The Han Family's Madam Xu came to seek an audience with esteemed wangfei. This servant said that esteemed wangfei wasn't in the estate and told her to come another day, but who knew that she would cause a ruckus at the door. She said that esteemed wangfei must see esteemed wangfei today and wouldn't leave. She also said esteemed wangfei, she ….."
Before Steward Xia could finish, Han Yunxi immediately screamed and rushed to the front gates without another word!
She knew what was going on!
Damn it! After being kidnapped this time, she was physically and mentally exhausted. She even almost forgot about the bet, so how could she still remember the ten day appointment with Madam Xu?
When she first went to the Han Estate, Madam Xu and the rest didn't believe that Han Congan had given her the storehouse key for safekeeping so she could choose a successor. They forced her to hand over the key, so she agreed to let them see Han Congan ten days later.
Actually, meeting Han Congan was as easy as turning over a hand, but she only wanted Madam Xu and the rest to wait a little longer. Who knew that she'd be kidnapped?
Today was the 16th, one day after the ten day appointment. She'd missed the appointment!
But even her father, the Minister of Appointments, didn't dare to run to the Duke of Qin's gates to make a ruckus, to say nothing of a trifling Madam Xu. There had to be a powerful figure backing her up, or else she wouldn't be so arrogant.
Han Yunxi didn't have time to think about the person behind the scenes. She had to see Madam Xu immediately, or else the news would spread all over the city.
But as soon as Han Yunxi left the courtyard, she saw Murong Wanru supporting Grand Concubine Yi from the other side. Grand Concubine Yi's well-maintained face was pulled longer than a horse's …
