Why did she save him?
Actually, the reason was very clear. But why did Han Yunxi hesitate in the face of Long Fei Ye's forceful interrogation and domineering gaze?
What was she hesitating about? Did she have any other answer?
"Why?" Long Fei Ye pressed closer and closer.
Han Yunxi blurted out anxiously, "Because you used the pardon order to save me. Now that I'm saving you once, we'll be clear!"
Unexpectedly, Long Fei Ye said coldly, "Who wants to be clear with you?"
Uh …
Han Yunxi was stunned. She stared at Long Fei Ye with wide eyes. This guy … what did he mean?
This time, it was Long Fei Ye who avoided her gaze. He immediately pushed her away, coughed lightly, and said Coldly, "Han Yunxi, this prince's pardon order isn't that easy to return. You still owe this prince."
Stingy guy!
Han Yunxi pursed her lips. She couldn't be bothered to be so calculative with him. Since he was done with his questions, it was her turn to ask.
"Are you under house arrest because you disobeyed the imperial decree and refused to marry Princess Rongle?"
Han Yunxi felt like an idiot when she asked the question. It was an obvious question, but she still asked it anyway.
"Yes." Long Fei Ye was very straightforward.
"Why?" Han Yunxi hurriedly asked again.
Alright, asking this question also made her feel very stupid, but she still asked it.
However, this time, Long Fei Ye was not straightforward. He asked back, "Does this matter have anything to do with you?"
For a moment, Han Yunxi was speechless. Actually, this was what she really wanted to ask, but she didn't expect this guy to use it to ask her.
Did rejecting Princess Rongle have anything to do with her?
Otherwise, if he was forced to marry one, marrying two was also the same … Why was he so stubborn to make such a big deal out of it?
Alright, she admitted that when she saw Long Fei Ye's cold face and cold eyes, she couldn't ask. What if she angered this guy?
In fact, being forced to marry one woman was already very sullen. There was no need to sullen a second time, right?
Han Yunxi thought so and felt much better. "It's okay. I was just asking."
Long Fei Ye narrowed his eyes and asked coldly, "Do you have any other questions?"
"No." Han Yunxi didn't look up and missed the displeasure in his eyes.
Long Fei Ye did not speak again. Han Yunxi lowered her head. The two of them were always like this. As they talked, they suddenly fell into silence.
Of course, Han Yunxi quickly looked up and said, "The prescription for the antidote is in my hands. I'll go find His Majesty right now. Even if he doesn't want to, he'll have to release them!"
Actually, Long Fei Ye had never liked or cared for women's help. But when he saw Han Yunxi so confident, he couldn't help but nod his head. "Mm, I'll wait for you."
Han Yunxi rejoiced and left in a hurry.
But as soon as she left, she saw Emperor Tianhui standing alone by the door. When Han Yunxi walked out, Eunuch Xue quickly locked the doors again.
Han Yunxi was calm and unruffled, neither servile nor overbearing as she bowed. "Is Your Majesty waiting for the Duke of Qin's prescription?"
The Duke of Qin's prescription?
This woman was truly sharp-tongued!
Emperor Tianhui didn't hide his anger, but it was written all over his face. Coldly, he asked, "Where's the prescription?"
Han Yunxi replied unhurriedly, "The prescription is in the Duke of Qin's hands. He said that only he could find the ingredients on it."
Emperor Tianhui's hands had long clenched into fists in his wide sleeves. Hearing these words, he couldn't bear it anymore. It was bad enough that this woman threatened him, but she even used Long Fei Ye's name to threaten him. She really knows how to fight for Long Fei Ye's face!
But Han Yunxi took things one step further. "I'll have to ask Your Majesty and His Highness Duke of Qin to discuss the prescription. If there's a need, Yunxi will do her best to help you find the ingredients."
This …
Wasn't this the same as asking him to go beg Long Fei Ye to come out?
Emperor Tianhui was so angry that he almost spat up blood. Killing intent shot out from his eyes. If possible, he'd kill Han Yunxi by a thousand cuts right now!
At the same time, Long Fei Ye was in the courtyard and heard every word clearly. He seemed very satisfied, his lips curled up in a smile the entire time.
There was no way Emperor Tianhui would enter the Hall of Regrets, much less discuss the poison plague prescription with Long Fei Ye. With Long Fei Ye's personality, he'd definitely find a chance to strike back and make it impossible for him to back down.
Emperor Tianhui glared at Han Yunxi for a long time before speaking Cold Voice to Eunuch Xue. "When the Duke of Qin has had enough remorse, have him come out!"
So speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left without a backward glance.
Eunuch Xue stared at Emperor Tianhui's retreating form in disbelief, unable to recover his senses.
"Eunuch Xue, why aren't you opening the door yet?" Han Yunxi reminded him with a smile, in a very good mood.
Eunuch Xue glanced at Han Yunxi and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Women really are a source of calamity. The relationship between the emperor and His Highness Duke of Qin had been growing more and more tense in the past few years. If this woman interfered, Heaven knows what would happen in the future!
Han Yunxi was very clear in her heart as well. This time, she'd thoroughly provoked Emperor Tianhui. In the future, she'd have to be careful at every step.
Actually, she'd avoid offending him if she could. But things weren't in her control, so she'd always been passive. Moreover, choosing Long Fei Ye meant that she was destined to be enemies with Emperor Tianhui, wasn't that so?
Long Fei Ye wasn't a fish in a pond. How could he be willing to be controlled by Emperor Tianhui for the rest of his life?
As soon as the palace doors opened, Long Fei Ye walked out.
Han Yunxi immediately smiled at him, but Long Fei Ye ignored her and strode forward.
This guy!
Han Yunxi bit her lip as she glared hatefully at his retreating form. She'd already offended Emperor Tianhui to death. Couldn't he at least give her a smile?
But it was at this moment that Long Fei Ye turned around, his tone impatient. "Han Yunxi, you're still not leaving?"
"Going where?" Han Yunxi replied unhappily.
"Going home," Long Fei Ye replied before leaving without a backward glance.
Going home …
What a heartwarming word. Did it really come out of that giant ice cube's mouth?
Leaving aside Han Yunxi, even Eunuch Xue was left gaping. Only then did he realize that His Highness Duke of Qin and Qin Wangfei were one family.
Han Yunxi couldn't help but secretly curve her lips as she eagerly followed after him.
By the time they reached the Duke of Qin's estate, it was already late at night.
Grand Concubine Yi had long gone to bed, so the large estate was quiet save for a few lanterns. Fortunately, Steward Xia was very obedient and left the door open for Han Yunxi to wait for her personally.
As soon as he saw Han Yunxi, Steward Xia was pleasantly surprised. "Esteemed wangfei, you've finally come back. You …"
But before he could finish, he froze as he saw a familiar figure appear behind esteemed wangfei. It was none other than His Highness Duke of Qin.
Steward Xia gaped, too shocked to speak. Wasn't His Highness Duke of Qin under house arrest in the palace? How could …
Long Fei Ye walked past them and headed for the Hibiscus Courtyard. Han Yunxi chuckled at Steward Xia before giving her thanks and chasing after Long Fei Ye.
"Your Highness, wait!"
"Your Highness, wait!"
Unfortunately, Long Fei Ye was too lazy to pay attention. Instead of stopping, he walked faster and faster. After being imprisoned for so many days, he hadn't been able to see anyone. There were many reports he couldn't receive or send out, so he had to deal with the matters at hand immediately.
"Long Fei Ye!"
Han Yunxi panicked and rushed forward to grab his arm.
Long Fei Ye finally stopped, his cold eyes looking down at her fiercely. "Let go!"
Han Yunxi felt as if she'd been electrocuted and let go. "Come with me for a bit, just for a bit."
"Something very important?" Long Fei Ye asked.
"Not really … aiya, you'll know when you come," Han Yunxi didn't know how to explain.
"I don't have time!"
What important matter could she have? Even if she wanted to find medicine, she didn't need to leave immediately. He couldn't delay the matters at hand any longer.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Han Yunxi threw caution to the wind and grabbed his hand again. "It's something very important!"
With that, she dragged him away.
Long Fei Ye frowned, looking displeased. This woman was getting bolder and bolder!
Just as he was about to push her hand away, he saw her little hand holding his tightly. Long Fei Ye hesitated for a moment, interest flashing in his eyes. He purposely deepened his inner energy to make himself heavier.
Han Yunxi had been able to pull Long Fei Ye easily at first, but gradually, it became more and more difficult for her to pull him away. After walking less than ten steps, she couldn't pull Long Fei Ye any further.
Finally, she realized that something was wrong. She frowned and looked over, her little face full of stubbornness and anger.
She tugged fiercely and fiercely. "It's really something very important! Let's go! "
It seemed that this was the first time a woman had dared to be so fierce to him. Or perhaps it could be said that this was the first time a woman had been so fierce to him.
He wanted to be angry, but he only said Coldly, "Then let go!"
Han Yunxi immediately released him. Although she'd let go of his arm, Long Fei Ye felt as if she'd let go of his heart as well, leaving him feeling empty and empty.
He didn't like this unfamiliar feeling.
"Lead the way!" he said coldly, urging her on instead.
Han Yunxi turned to leave, leading Long Fei Ye all the way to Grand Concubine Yi's Peony Courtyard. Grand Concubine Yi had long fallen asleep, while Gui mama, who was on night watch, was curled up by the door, dozing off.
Han Yunxi ignored Gui mama and went to knock on the door herself. Bang, bang, bang!
Long Fei Ye stood behind her, completely unable to guess what this woman wanted to do. Mufei was already asleep, so why was she looking for her?
The knocking on the door woke up Gui mama, who was getting up when Grand Concubine Yi's angry voice came from inside. "Gui mama, what's going on? What are you doing in the middle of the night? "
But Gui mama didn't reply. She simply stared at Long Feiye with wide eyes and slack jaws, still in a half-rising position.
Heavens, the Duke of Qin! The Duke of Qin had actually come back!
Very soon, Grand Concubine Yi came out in her outer robes, only to see Han Yunxi blocking the door. She grew furious. "Han Yunxi, what are you doing?"
But Han Yunxi was all smiles as she laughed. "Mufei, I'm back. I brought His Highness Duke of Qin back, too!"
So speaking, she stepped aside, allowing Grand Concubine Yi to see Long Fei Ye standing on one side.
Grand Concubine Yi immediately muffled her mouth. She didn't even care about her outer robes, because she couldn't believe her eyes. She rushed out and hugged Long Feiye. "Feiye, you …"
Long Fei Ye finally understood why Han Yunxi had brought him here. He allowed Grand Concubine Yi to examine him up and down, asking him questions here and there. He felt a little helpless, but couldn't refuse.
Meanwhile, Han Yunxi sat on one side, secretly amused by Grand Concubine Yi's excitement.
She wasn't a scourge, much less a jinx.
Although her family had declined and she had no power, influence, or backing, far inferior to Princess Rongle's honor and glory, she still relied on her own abilities to bring Long Feiye back.
Grand Concubine Yi, I, Han Yunxi, am no worse than Princess Rongle in any way!
