Upon hearing Han Yunxi's question, Gu licked his lips wickedly but did not answer immediately. Instead, he patiently sat back on the warm couch and even leaned lazily on it. With one hand supporting his head, he looked at Han Yunxi with interest.
What did this fellow mean?
Han Yunxi leaned against the cupboard at the side with her arms crossed and frowned as she looked at him.
Who knew that Gu would suddenly blink his bewitching eyes at her. His long eyelashes fluttered and although he looked innocent and harmless, he was actually charming to the bone.
This was really a tempting evildoer!
Han Yunxi was stunned for a moment and couldn't take her eyes off him. She was almost bewitched by him. Luckily, her willpower was not bad and she resolutely looked away. She casually picked up a teacup and threw it at Gu. Unfortunately, it was caught by him.
"What exactly do you want?"
This rascal. Han Yunxi was about to lose to him. She was so sleepy and really wanted to sleep.
"Answer my question. You've been a good-for-nothing since young and the Han family didn't have any poison skills to learn. Your mother Madam Tianxin was highly skilled in medicine but not in poison. When you got on the sedan chair, there were poison scars on your face. When you got off the sedan chair, the scars were already cured. When did you start learning poison skills secretly? You've never left the capital and rarely left the Han family. Who taught you? "
Upon hearing Gu's words, Han Yunxi narrowed her eyes and gave a Cold smile. "You've done a thorough investigation."
Gu wasn't the least bit modest. "Of course, I also know that you …"
Who knew that before he could finish his sentence, Han Yunxi suddenly shouted loudly, "Ah … someone come, there's an assassin!"
Since she couldn't get an answer from him, she didn't want to waste her precious sleep time with this fellow!
Gu didn't expect this and suddenly jumped up. "You!"
Han Yunxi worked even harder. "Someone come, quickly, the assassin is here!"
Soon, the sound of footsteps could be heard from all directions. Gu had put in a lot of effort to get here.
He narrowed his eyes and licked his lips. He gave Han Yunxi a thumbs up and exuded a dangerous aura. "Aren't you afraid that I'll take you as a hostage?"
But who knew that Han Yunxi was not afraid at all. She lazily lay down on the warm bed, looking like she was telling him to do as he pleased. She even closed her eyes.
She was not afraid of him. If this guy was really dangerous, she would have been in danger long ago.
Gu was stunned for a moment and then burst out laughing. This woman was really interesting. He liked it!
Even though the footsteps outside were approaching, Gu had no intention of escaping. His figure flashed and silently approached Han Yunxi.
Han Yunxi only felt a gust of wind blowing against her face and instinctively opened her eyes. Who knew …
Just as Han Yunxi opened her eyes, Gu leaned down and gently kissed her forehead. It was just a touch. It was ticklish and soft. It was lighter than the breath that fell on her face.
At this moment, she saw his perfect chin and his Adam's apple. Everything was so close to her. It turned out that this man who was more beautiful than a woman also had such a masculine side.
Han Yunxi's eyes widened and every part of her body froze. All that was left was a panicked and frightened heart that couldn't stop thumping wildly!
Heavens, this evildoer kissed her!
No, he was molesting her!
It was just a light peck. Gu retreated and smiled enchantingly. "What are you looking at? It's just a mark. This young master has taken a fancy to you. "
As soon as his voice fell, he didn't wait for Han Yunxi's reply. His figure blurred and he disappeared into thin air. Almost at the same time, three guards rushed in and Zhao mama also rushed over.
Seeing esteemed wangfei lying on the bed and the room empty, Zhao mama anxiously said, "Esteemed wangfei, where's the assassin? Where's the assassin? "
Han Yunxi finally recovered her senses and quickly sat up. "Assassin? Assassin … "
"Where's the assassin?" Zhao mama was anxious. She was afraid that esteemed wangfei would be frightened.
"I just dreamed of assassins! There were so many assassins. It was so scary! "Han Yunxi lied. With Gu's ability, he probably wouldn't be able to catch up to them.
For a moment, the incomparably nervous Zhao mama and the guards all let down their guard. They didn't know what to say to their master. How could she shout so loudly in her dreams?
However, they didn't have any suspicions. After all, the Hibiscus Courtyard was heavily guarded. Normally, assassins wouldn't be able to enter.
Zhao mama had the guards withdraw and quickly poured a cup of hot tea. "Esteemed wangfei, quickly drink some tea to calm your nerves."
Han Yunxi indeed needed to calm her nerves. She had really been frightened! Gu, that bastard! Rogue! He actually dared to take liberties with her when she wasn't paying attention.
She drank the water while vigorously wiping her forehead.
She was at a loss as she pecked her forehead. Was this considered a kiss? Was this considered her first kiss gone?
"Esteemed wangfei, your forehead ….. What happened?" Zhao mama suspiciously asked.
Han Yunxi immediately let go. "No ….. Nothing."
Gu Qishao, that evil bastard! She decided to put him on her blacklist. He better not come here again. Otherwise, every time she saw him, she would shout!
No, every time she saw him, she would poison him!
Her body was originally weak, but after being frightened by Gu, Han Yunxi was completely awake. She sat for a long time before sneaking into Long Fei Ye's palace to soak in the hot spring.
In the end, her physical strength was limited. After soaking in the hot spring, she laid on the bed while pondering over Gu's background. She unknowingly fell asleep.
This sleep could be described as dark. She slept through the afternoon and night, only waking up at noon the next day.
When Han Yunxi woke up, she heard all kinds of rumours in the capital. Without exception, they were all related to what happened last night. There weren't many rumours about Madam Li and her daughter, but there were many jokes about Mu Liuyue. Everyone was waiting to see if she would keep her bet. The general's manor sent out news that Mu Liuyue had fallen ill as soon as she returned. She had a high fever and was unconscious.
It was such a coincidence that she fell ill at such a critical juncture.
As soon as the news came out, the discussions in the capital grew even more intense. Gambling houses big and small even started betting on whether Mu Liuyue would keep her promise, whether Han Yunxi would let Mu Liuyue go, or whether the Duke of Qin would interfere. In any case, there were all kinds of bets.
There weren't many discussions about Madam Li and her daughter, nor about Madam Li's last words. It wasn't clear whether someone was leading the discussion, or the matter of the bet was so popular that it covered up everything.
Han Yunxi couldn't set her mind at ease until she got a definite answer from Long Fei Ye about the safety of the Han Estate.
The next night, Han Yunxi had just left Grand Concubine Yi's quarters when she saw that the lights in Long Fei Ye's quarters were still lit.
Excited, she immediately went to knock on the door. Knock, knock, knock!
Long Fei Ye was lying in a rocking chair, his handsome brows covered in fatigue. One couldn't help but wonder what he'd been up to these past few days.
Long Fei Ye knitted his brows and stood up to walk to the desk before opening his mouth. "Come in."
Han Yunxi pushed open the door and walked all the way to the study. Long Fei Ye picked up a brush to write a memorial without even looking at her.
Han Yunxi stood in front of him and asked from the other side of the desk, "Madam Li is Qingyi, right?"
"Mm," Long Fei Ye replied mildly.
Since Madam Li was Qingyi, she was the leader of these spies. If they caught Madam Li, they'd be able to catch all of them in one fell swoop.
"Then … what about that green-faced, fanged masked man from that day?" Han Yunxi asked again. That masked man was a true master of poisons. If they didn't get rid of him now, there'd be more trouble in the future.
"Other than Madam Li, no one knows of his existence."
Long Fei Ye's tone was still very calm, but Han Yunxi's mind was filled with Madam Li's silent face. She couldn't understand. What kind of ability did that masked man have to make Madam Li so loyal to him?
After asking about Madam Li, Han Yunxi hesitated for a moment before asking again, "Celestial Fragrance Teashop's owner, did you find out his background?"
At this moment, Long Fei Ye raised his head and asked Coldly, "Do you need something from this prince?"
Han Yunxi didn't know if it was because they were too close or because his eyes were too cold, but she subconsciously took a step back.
Couldn't she look for him for nothing?
Wasn't she asking about something? Gu flirted with her!
Alright, this wasn't what she wanted to ask. She'd better get straight to the point.
"Is the Han Family really going to be implicated in the case of the spy?"
The public version of this matter was that Madam Li and her daughter poisoned the young general. But in reality, Madam Li was the leader of the spies in Northern Li Country. Her crimes were extremely heinous and harmful, directly threatening Tianning's safety. Since Madam Li came from the Han Family, the Han Family had to be responsible.
"I can't give you a clear answer right now," Long Fei Ye said mildly.
Hearing this, Han Yunxi grew agitated. "Then what about Yi 'er? You promised me you'd protect him! "
This was the first time Long Fei Ye had seen Han Yunxi care so much about someone. Was Han Yunyi her weakness?
He hated it when this woman had a weakness!
The matter of the spy was all within his control. He had great power and was confident that he could protect Han Yunyi, but Madam Li's words that night had angered Emperor Tianhui.
Han Yunxi had no idea that not only was the Han Family full of suspicions, but she herself had gotten herself into trouble.
Those who knew how to treat poisons were the best at poisoning people. How could Emperor Tianhui not have any thoughts about Madam Li's words? Should he promote her in an important position or guard against her elimination? For someone as suspicious as Emperor Tianhui, it was a matter of a single thought. Moreover, Han Yunxi was Long Feiye's wife. How could he not have a headache?
He'd have to deal with Emperor Tianhui on this matter.
"Your lordship can't give you a clear answer right now," Long Fei Ye said mildly.
What?
Han Yunxi was shocked. She leaned forward and shouted, "You clearly promised me!"
He'd promised her before, so she'd taken him to Madam Li's rooms to look for evidence. Why was he saying he wasn't sure now? What did he mean? He couldn't protect Yi 'er?
This was the first time someone had dared to speak so loudly to him. Long Fei Ye said sternly, "Aren't the Han Family and Han Yunyi perfectly fine? Why are you in such a rush? "
Han Yunxi immediately backed away, unwilling to give up. "I … I … then what do you mean by that?"
"It's the literal meaning. If there's nothing else, you can leave," Long Fei Ye was vexed. Seeing this woman so agitated made him even more annoyed.
He really didn't know why he wanted to protect her. In any case, she was the woman Emperor Tianhui had given him. If Emperor Tianhui wanted her, he could take her back! What was he worrying about?
Han Yunxi didn't expect this at all. How could this guy be like this!
She grew angry as well and slapped the table. "You promised me, so you have to do it!"
Long Fei Ye's gaze rested on her hand before slowly moving up to meet her eyes. Very good, this woman had broken another record. Not only did she speak loudly to him, she even slapped the table.
"Your lordship will say it one last time. You, get out!" Long Fei Ye's voice was icy.
Han Yunxi wasn't afraid at all. She glared at him before flicking her sleeves and leaving!
