Han Yunxi stood there in a daze. No matter how the passersby asked, she didn't respond.
Until the familiar figure in front of her disappeared, she finally regained her senses from her own world. At this moment, the passersby had all dispersed.
However, even though she had regained her senses, her heart still felt stifled and uncomfortable.
Between Long Fei Ye and Duanmu Yao, between Senior Brother and Junior Sister, could it be that there was really something going on?
Otherwise, why would that fellow who never gave anyone an exception put down his status and accompany Duanmu Yao shopping? This was too unlike his style.
When they were fighting against the poisonous python, Long Fei Ye was so anxious to protect Duanmu Yao's life. However, when they were in the Medicine Ghost Valley, Long Fei Ye didn't show any favoritism. Instead, he was more biased towards her.
However, the reason why he was biased towards her back then was because they had the same goal, which was the Life Blood Pill.
If he didn't shoulder the Emperor's order back then, would he still stand on her side?
As Han Yunxi thought and thought, she started to laugh. She laughed lightly at herself.
What was wrong with her?
She was only Long Fei Ye's Princess Consort in name. What did the relationship between him and his Junior Sister have to do with her?
Senior Brother and Junior Sister were originally in love with each other. What was so strange about it?
Thinking of this, Han Yunxi took a deep breath to calm herself down. She even tried her best to pull up the corners of her mouth, revealing an open-minded smile.
She maintained her smile and suddenly turned around. She wasn't going to walk in the same direction as them!
Who knew that when she turned around, her movement was too big and she directly bumped into the person behind her. Han Yunxi was about to apologize when who knew that the person fiercely pushed her. "Are you looking for death? How dare you bump into this young master!"
Han Yunxi focused and saw that the other party was a rich family's eldest young master. His figure was bloated and there was a folding fan at the back of his head. He looked like a silkpants.
Seeing Han Yunxi's appearance, the fat young master had evil intentions. Coldly, he said, "What are you looking at? Don't you have eyes? Can't you see that there's someone behind you? "
"Do you think that everyone is like you, with eyes on the back of their head?" Han Yunxi was still smiling.
"Aiyo, this little girl's mouth is quite sharp!"
As the fat young master spoke, he took off his folding fan and reached out to Han Yunxi's chin. But who knew that before he could touch her, Han Yunxi raised her hand and opened the folding fan. Just as she raised her hand, she sprinkled something on the fat young master's face. The fat young master smelled a delicate fragrance and subconsciously sniffed hard.
Who would have thought that after smelling it, he would actually start laughing foolishly. He stood where he was and started taking off his clothes.
At this time, the smile on Han Yunxi's face finally disappeared and was replaced by a gloomy face. She didn't even look at the fat young master and turned to leave.
She was full of anger. Didn't this blind thing see that she was in a bad mood? He actually dared to provoke her at this time. He was simply courting death!
Well, she admitted she was in a terrible mood.
With her back to the Long Fei Ye's direction, Han Yunxi wandered aimlessly on the street. It wasn't until the evening when she heard the drums from the Huguo Temple in the distance that she remembered something important.
She had an appointment with Gu Beiyue in the afternoon!
It was four and a half hours before the appointed time. Han Yunxi didn't think much and directly rushed to the Ming Xiang Teahouse. As soon as she entered the private room, she saw that Gu Beiyue was still waiting for her.
She immediately apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm late."
However, Gu Beiyue not only didn't blame her, but also quickly poured a cup of water for her, "It's this one's honor that the princess consort can come. Drink a cup of water first, there's no hurry."
No hurry. She was late for so long, but this guy still said there was no hurry. His temper was too good.
Even if there was a difference in status, she really couldn't see the slightest bit of complaint from his gentle eyes.
Every time she saw his gentle eyes, Han Yunxi always thought, I wonder what kind of girl in this world would have such good fortune to be able to marry this guy.
Han Yunxi drank a few mouthfuls of water and quickly discovered that Gu Beiyue's complexion wasn't right. Although she was a poison doctor, she was still a doctor. Looking at Gu Beiyue's complexion, it seemed like he was seriously ill and had just recovered a little. He really needed to recuperate.
"Gu Beiyue, what happened to you?" Han Yunxi was anxious and directly called out his name.
"I was too tired a few days ago. When I left the palace, I caught a cold and became seriously ill." Gu Beiyue lightly replied.
"A cold?" Han Yunxi was suspicious. Although doctors didn't treat themselves, but for a common illness like a cold, how could it be difficult for Gu Beiyue?
Moreover, based on his complexion, it was clear that something was wrong. This guy wouldn't be hiding something, right?
Han Yunxi was suspicious in her heart. She indicated for Gu Beiyue to reach out and take his pulse, "Let me take a look."
"Many thanks for Princess Consort's concern. It's just a cold, it's not a big deal." Gu Beiyue politely declined.
"Hand, let me take a look." Han Yunxi was very serious.
Gu Beiyue had no choice but to roll up his sleeves and place his arm on the table. Han Yunxi seriously took his pulse and her beautiful brows tightly knit together.
His pulse was very, very weak, it even seemed like his vitality had been greatly damaged. But it was just as Gu Beiyue said, the cold had entered his body and there were no other signs of his pulse.
Strange …
Han Yunxi seriously looked at him again. This kind of weak appearance was more like the state after being poisoned.
"Imperial Physician Gu, a cold can make you this weak? Isn't the foundation of your body a little too weak? "Han Yunxi asked curiously.
Unexpectedly, Gu Beiyue only nodded. "This official has been a pot of medicine since childhood. My body can be considered healthy now, but it was common for me to get seriously ill every two or three days when I was younger. A few days ago, I served His Majesty in the palace and didn't rest or sleep for days on end. As soon as this cold entered my body, I fell ill like a collapsing mountain."
He was actually a pot of medicine!
Han Yunxi was very surprised. She never expected Tianning Country's chief imperial physician to be so sickly. If Gu Beiyue didn't say anything, who would have known?
"Could it be that you fell ill when you were young?" Han Yunxi asked.
Gu Beiyue's eyes flashed with bitterness before he said mildly, "I heard Grandfather say that I was born prematurely and was forced to use medicine to keep me alive."
Now Han Yunxi was even more shocked, but also relieved. No wonder. In ancient times, premature babies had a very small chance of survival. Fortunately, this fellow had reincarnated right and had a Divine Doctor grandfather. Otherwise, even if they had medicine, they wouldn't know how to raise him.
Han Yunxi only knew that Gu Beiyue's grandfather had brought him from the medical academy to Tianning's capital. As for his parents, she didn't know. Of course, she wasn't curious enough to ask about their origins.
She teased with a smile, "Looks like you'll have to ask His Majesty to reduce your workload."
Gu Beiyue smiled faintly. Even though his face was pale, his smile was as warm as an April spring breeze. "Esteemed wangfei, the matter you asked this one to look into last time …"
"How is it?" Han Yunxi grew excited. So this was the reason why this fellow had asked her to come here.
She'd asked him to investigate how Han Congan had become a director of Cloud Realm Medical Academy in the past. She wanted to find out if Lady Tianxin had any connections with the medical academy.
Seeing Han Yunxi so agitated, Gu Beiyue hesitated a little before continuing. "Esteemed wangfei, I'm very sorry. Cloud Realm Medical Academy's directors have all heard of Lady Tianxin, but they don't know her."
Han Yunxi was stunned by his words. Lady Tianxin's name had spread throughout Tianning's capital in the past. She'd even agreed to let Han Congan become a director of Cloud Realm Medical Academy. She'd assumed that Lady Tianxin had excellent connections within the academy.
Who knew things would turn out like this?
A director was considered a mid-level position in the medical academy. Above that were many important people with important positions. Perhaps they'd know Lady Tianxin, who had the confidence to make Han Congan a director. If she was looking for connections, she'd have to find someone above that, right?
"Then do the Council of Elders and the academy head know my mother?" Han Yunxi asked anxiously.
Gu Beiyue laughed at her words. "Esteemed wangfei, this one can only find out this much. When my grandfather was still alive, he'd only seen the medical academy's elders a few times."
"Esteemed wangfei, perhaps Lady Tianxin really has nothing to do with the medical academy. With Lady Tianxin's power, it wouldn't be hard for her to support Han Congan. Han Congan's medical skills were indeed worthy of a director position in the past," Gu Beiyue analyzed objectively.
Alright, Han Yunxi knew she'd been impulsive, but this was the only clue to Lady Tianxin's identity. She was impatient.
After drinking a few cups of tea in silence, Han Yunxi stopped making things difficult for Gu Beiyue. After all, this matter couldn't be rushed. She asked offhandedly, "You invited me here just for this?"
"There's one more thing …" Gu Beiyue was a little embarrassed.
Han Yunxi knew that her intuition wouldn't be wrong. This guy had invited her in private, so there must be something else.
"There's no one else here. Speak." She smiled faintly.
Gu Beiyue's smile was extremely bashful, and especially cute.
Even though he was bashful, he was serious. "Esteemed wangfei, this one heard about your bet with Miss Liuyue, so … I'm curious how you knew to use goldfish to test for the Ten-Thousand Snake Poison?"
The spectators that day didn't know, but Gu Beiyue was a doctor. He knew, and because he knew, he could tell that something was amiss.
To be exact, there were two ways to test for poison. One was to test for poison, and the other was to test for poison.
Testing for poison was the job of a poison master. Through smelling, tasting, and even reacting with other poisons, normal people wouldn't be able to understand the principles behind it.
Testing for poison, on the other hand, was to use poison testing stones or people to test for poison. This was for amateurs to see.
The Ten-Thousand Snake Poison was very special, and the dosage in the tea leaves was very small. How did this woman know to test it with goldfish?
Han Yunxi smiled when she heard this. Not long ago, Gu had also made a special trip to the Duke of Qin's residence to ask her this question. Even though Gu Beiyue didn't know much about poisons, he was still worthy of being called a godly doctor.
Towards Gu Beiyue, Han Yunxi inexplicably let down her guard. She answered generously, "I once saw it in an ancient book. Fortunately, I remembered it."
"Is it an ancient book left behind by Madam Tianxin?" Gu Beiyue pursued.
Uh … Alright, she used Madam Tianxin as a shield to block all those who doubted her, so she might as well use it all the way.
"Yes, it was left behind by my mother."
"It seems that Madam Tianxin was also a poison master." Gu Beiyue said seriously.
To tell a lie, one could only use countless lies to cover it up. Han Yunxi's mouth twitched, and she continued to nod. "I think so. It's just that she didn't have the chance to show it."
Han Yunxi didn't want to continue this topic. She rubbed her stomach and smiled. "I'm late today. Let me treat you to a meal."
Gu Beiyue wanted to reject immediately, but Han Yunxi was faster than him. She shouted, "Waiter, waiter, bring the menu over!"
The waiter quickly opened the door and came in. Gu Beiyue couldn't reject him.
Mingxiang Teahouse had a wide variety of snacks that could be eaten as a main meal. This was Han Yunxi's first time eating outside. She ordered a lot of snacks in one go. Gu Beiyue looked at her. His eyes flashed with affection, but he didn't interfere.
Soon, the dishes were delivered. However, the person who delivered the dishes shocked Han Yunxi so much that she almost fell off her chair!
Who … was it?
