Within a few days, Han Yunxi's family of three arrived in Ningzhou.
Han Yunxi brought some gifts, wanting to give Qin Min and Gu Beiyue a surprise. Long Fei Ye wasn't as happy as her. He hugged Rui 'er and said Coldly, "Rui' er and I are going to the teahouse at the end of the alley. Let Gu Beiyue come over to drink tea when he's free."
Han Yunxi couldn't wait for Long Fei Ye to not follow her. As long as Long Fei Ye, this big iceberg, was present, which of her best friends would be at ease?
"Rui 'er, you can't drink too much tea, remember? If you're hungry, tell your father. "Han Yunxi instructed seriously.
It wasn't good for children to drink tea, but little Rui 'er had been with Long Fei Ye for a long time and liked to serve tea at such a young age. If she hadn't stopped him, he would drink tea for all three meals a day!
Rui 'er sat on Long Fei Ye's neck and nodded seriously. "This son obeys!"
"Shh …"
Han Yunxi quickly shut him up. "If our identities are exposed, you can go back to Yunning by yourself!"
Rui 'er chuckled. He was clearly teasing his mother!
Han Yunxi looked at her son's naughty look and felt helpless. He wasn't even two years old and he was already so naughty. What would happen when he grew up?
However, Han Yunxi quite liked Rui 'er's cheerful personality. He liked to laugh more and not be as cold as Long Fei Ye. How boring!
After the father and son walked away, Han Yunxi walked into the alley. Following the address given by Xu Donglin, she found Gu Beiyue and Qin Min's residence.
The residence wasn't big, but it immediately attracted Han Yunxi's attention because the outer walls of the residence were covered with creepers. Even though it was early autumn, the walls were still full of lush greenery.
The mansion was located in the depths of the alley. In the entire alley, only the outer walls of the mansion were decorated. However, this patch of greenery made the entire alley much quieter.
Although the mansion wasn't large, the walls were extremely high, making it impossible for others to pry into everything inside.
Han Yunxi went forward and knocked on the door. Soon, someone came to open the door. It was Gu Beiyue's little medicine boy. He immediately recognized Han Yunxi.
The little medicine boy was terrified and was about to salute when Han Yunxi hurriedly stopped him and said in a low voice, "Don't make a fuss."
The little medicine boy hurriedly invited her in. As soon as Han Yunxi entered the door, she was stunned by the beautiful scenery in the courtyard! She couldn't help but exclaim, "So beautiful!"
Outside the door was a small garden. The ground was covered with cobblestones of different colors. A large patch of forsythia was planted in the courtyard. Each stalk was about half the height of a person. The branches were spread out like an umbrella, and it would take two or three people to wrap their arms around it. Every stalk of forsythia was golden yellow and bright and beautiful. Every forsythia was blooming beautifully, and they were huge and delicate.
As far as the eye could see, the entire courtyard was surrounded by clusters of golden yellow. Han Yunxi couldn't help but walk into the cluster of flowers. Smelling the unique medicinal fragrance of forsythia, it was as if she was in a sea of flowers.
Forsythia was a medicinal herb. It usually bloomed in spring, but there were also some that bloomed in autumn and winter. Ever since Han Yunxi started dealing with medicinal herbs, she had often encountered forsythia flowers. This was because forsythia flowers were commonly used in detoxification, clearing away heat and detoxifying, and reducing swelling and dispersing clumps.
However, this was the first time Han Yunxi had seen someone who could plant forsythia flowers into a landscape, and it was so beautiful.
"Was this planted by Qin Min or Gu Beiyue?" Han Yunxi asked with a smile.
Back in Medical City, the day before Gu Beiyue married Qin Min, the wedding room hadn't been decorated yet. It was Mu Ling'er who helped decorate it. Mu Ling'er asked Gu Beiyue what flower Qin Min liked, and Gu Beiyue said it was forsythia.
Han Yunxi also knew that Qin Min liked forsythia flowers at that time.
"It was planted by Madam."
Of course, the little medicine boy knew the secret between his master and Madam, but he didn't hide this question.
"Isn't Madam taking care of the fetus? She still has the strength to take care of these flowers and plants? "Han Yunxi asked suspiciously.
"Madam instructed the servants to plant them," the little medicine boy quickly explained.
Han Yunxi didn't pursue the matter. She asked in a low voice, "Where are the two of them? Which room are they in? "
The little medicine boy was inwardly anxious. His master had just returned in the morning and couldn't find Madam and Shaoyao, so he had personally gone out to search for them.
Who knew that the empress, who was supposed to be patrolling the north, would actually appear here? What if the empress discovered the truth? What should he do then?
"Master and Madam have both gone out. Her Majesty the Empress, please come in and have a seat. This little one will go and find them now." The little medicine boy had been by Gu Beiyue's side for a long time and was rather quick-witted.
Han Yunxi didn't think much of it. After all, she was very assured of Gu Beiyue's safety.
"Go and find them. I'll walk around the courtyard," Han Yunxi said.
She discovered that the courtyard wasn't just filled with forsythia flowers, but also many small green plants. They were all strange and strange, and some of them were actually succulents that weren't easy to raise.
Han Yunxi was completely captivated by Qin Min's garden. If she walked around the rooms, she would definitely discover the details of Qin Min and Gu Beiyue's separation. It was a pity that she had been in the garden the entire time.
She also discovered many rare medicinal herbs that had all been grown into potted plants! She walked towards the west side of the garden and circled around a stone wall. She actually saw another beautiful scene.
It was a withered tree with a very special kind of flower growing on it. It was called the Air Pineapple.
This kind of flower wasn't grown in water or soil. As long as it was placed in the air, it could survive and wouldn't take root. There were many kinds of these flowers. They were all grotesquely shaped and colorful. They were casually placed on the withered branches and gave people the feeling that the entire tree was blooming. It was gorgeous and colorful.
"Who planted it!" Han Yunxi really wanted to bring that gardener back and properly learn about gardening from her.
Han Yunxi was admiring the flowers and plants in the garden and had forgotten the time. Only when Xu Donglin appeared in front of her did she remember that the little medicine boy had been gone for a long time.
"Your Majesty, Grand Tutor Gu met His Highness at the teahouse. They were chatting in the teahouse when His Highness sent this subordinate to ask if you would like to go? "Xu Donglin said.
"Qin Min is there too?" Han Yunxi asked.
"Doctor Gu said that Madam Qin went out and hasn't returned yet. She shouldn't be back so soon." Xu Donglin answered truthfully.
Han Yunxi shrugged. She could only go to the teahouse.
This teahouse was the first one at the entrance of the alley. It was two stories high, with one side facing the street and the other facing the alley. Long Fei Ye chose a seat on the second floor near the alley entrance. He sat by the window and could see everyone entering and leaving the alley.
When Han Yunxi came over, Rui 'er was eating pastries. Everything about Rui' er was like Long Fei Ye, except for the fact that he liked to eat sweets.
Although Long Fei Ye said that Rui 'er would not like sweets when he grew up, Han Yunxi did not believe him.
Gu Beiyue wanted to stand up and bow, but Han Yunxi glared at him.
She hugged Rui 'er and sat him on her lap. She smiled and asked, "Where's your wife? We came all the way here to visit her. "
"I also just arrived this morning and didn't see her when I came back. The servants said that she took a boat to the river. I'm sending people to look for her!" Gu Beiyue said mildly.
He had originally arranged for some guards to secretly protect Qin Min, but who would have thought that those guards would drink too much last night and sleep until the sun was high up in the sky. He had just arrived this morning and did not see Qin Min and her servant Shaoyao when he entered.
He heard from the guards that Qin Min liked to take a boat to the river and often went out. No one in Ningzhou had seen what the Grand Tutor's wife looked like. No one could recognize her and Shaoyao when they went out.
He immediately sent people to look for them when he arrived this morning, but they could not find her even after searching the entire river. He also went to walk around and did not see Qin Min's figure either.
He was not restricting her, but he was afraid that something would happen to her.
He never expected that the Emperor and Empress, who were supposed to be patrolling the north, would actually appear in Ningzhou and come looking for him.
Now, he could only accompany these two masters to drink tea here. He had the servants split into two groups, one to clean up the house and the other to look for Qin Min.
He was afraid that Qin Min would suddenly come back and not wear her fake belly, and the two masters would bump into her.
He, who was always calm and composed, was really panicking!
They chatted as they drank tea. After a while, Gu Beiyue estimated that the medicine boy had almost finished cleaning up the two rooms. He whispered, "Master, let's go inside and sit. There are a few things in Medical City that can't be discussed outside. "
Long Fei Ye saw that Rui 'er was eating with relish and was not in a hurry to leave. He said mildly, "Then we'll talk tonight."
Gu Beiyue did not have much to say and could only sit and chat with him.
At this time, Qin Min and Shaoyao were actually sitting at a tea table not far from them.
Not only did Qin Min not wear her fake belly, but she also wore a slim-fit dress. She and Shaoyao had already returned from the boat. She knew that Gu Beiyue would be back in a few days, so she specially went to buy some ingredients and prepared to personally make a few pastries for him to try.
Who knew that as soon as she arrived at the port, she would see Han Yunxi and her family of three standing at the entrance of the alley. She was shocked and her first reaction was to hide in this teahouse. She felt that it was not safe to hide on the first floor, so she deliberately ran to the second floor.
But who knew that when she looked down from the second floor, she would see Han Yunxi walking alone into the alley while Long Fei Ye carried Rui 'er into the teahouse.
At that moment, Qin Min really had the thought of jumping off the building.
Although Long Fei Ye had only seen her once or twice, she absolutely did not dare to take any chances and challenge Long Fei Ye's judgment.
She could only find a secluded place and sit down.
She sat down until now. Gu Beiyue and Han Yunxi arrived.
"Madam, let's sneak down from there. They won't see us. They're talking about something! "Shaoyao could not help but whisper.
"The Emperor always brings the Shadow Guard with him when he goes out. If we're seen now, how am I going to explain it to the dean?" Qin Min asked.
If not for the Shadow Guard outside, Qin Min would have already slipped away! In fact, the Shadow Guard might not be able to recognize her, but Qin Min really did not dare to take the risk.
It did not matter if she was exposed, but she could not harm Gu Beiyue!
Gu Beiyue had gone through so much trouble to pretend to marry her. What if she was exposed? What would she do?
Although she still did not understand why he had to raise a child, since she had chosen to be his wife in name, she should cooperate with him.
Qin Min was extremely vexed. She only had one path now, and that was to wait! She could only leave after Han Yunxi and the rest left.
Unfortunately, things did not go as she wished.
Not long after, a hedonistic young master sat in front of her.
"Miss, what's your surname?" The young master smiled lewdly.
