By the time Han Yunxi returned to the Duke of Qin's Manor, it was already late at night.
Seeing that the lights in Long Fei Ye's sleeping quarters were not lit, she assumed that he had gone out again. After pondering for a while, she decided to find a chance to hug Long Fei Ye's thigh in the next few days and beg him to teach her how to use hidden weapons.
If she had enough strength, Gu wouldn't have been able to dodge the few moves she had exchanged with Gu. Moreover, after knowing that the Tang Clan's hidden weapons were so awesome after being dipped in poison, she was even more impatient to learn.
Even if Long Fei Ye rejected her, she would not hesitate and was prepared to shamelessly pester him.
It wasn't that she didn't want to lose face, but that her face was worthless, especially in front of that fellow Long Fei Ye. Moreover, face couldn't compare to real skills. Once she learned the Tang Clan's hidden weapons, would she still be afraid of not gaining face?
Han Yunxi definitely wasn't a tsundere girl. She had a clear understanding of the times and knew when to yield and when to stand tall.
As for why Gu was mysteriously investigating the origins of the Tang Clan's hidden weapons in her hands, she didn't have the time to think about it.
After an entire day of free medical consultation and the false alarm at night, she was truly exhausted. After returning to Leisurely Cloud Pavilion to wash up, Han Yunxi fell asleep as soon as she hit the bed.
What she didn't know was that Long Fei Ye was sitting on the roof of Leisurely Cloud Pavilion, waiting for her the entire night.
When the lights in the pavilion were extinguished, Long Fei Ye flew down. Like a god of the night descending from the sky, he silently landed in the courtyard. With his hands behind his back, he silently walked out.
Very quickly, a hidden guard appeared out of thin air and respectfully followed behind him.
"Master, as you expected, Gu went to the Han Manor to find esteemed wangfei and even injured Imperial Physician Gu!"
Long Fei Ye's secret guards were not messing around. If it wasn't for Long Fei Ye's orders, they wouldn't dare take a single step away from the Princess Consort.
Since they couldn't find out Gu Qishao's origins, Long Feiye didn't mind switching tactics and taking the initiative into passivity. Han Yunxi was a simple-minded woman, but Long Feiye could tell that Gu Qishao had gotten close to her with ulterior motives. If there was a first time, then there'd be countless more.
"Gu insists that the princess consort's secret weapon is from the Tang Sect and even suspects that the princess consort is related to the Tang Sect …"
The secret guard reported everything that had happened in the Han family without missing a single word from Gu.
Only then did Long Fei Ye stop and mutter to himself, "The Tang Sect... What is he suspecting?"
The secret guard respectfully waited, not daring to say anything.
Long Fei Ye directly ignored Gu Beiyue and pondered for a long time before taking another step. His expression couldn't be seen in the darkness, but his voice was as cold as the night wind, "Continue to stand guard, don't alert the enemy."
The night gradually deepened...
The extremely tired Han Yunxi should have been sleeping peacefully, but at this moment, her brows were tightly knit as she muttered in her sleep, looking very uneasy.
Not long after, she suddenly opened her eyes and found that she was covered in sweat. Her back was completely soaked.
She had a nightmare!
She lay on her back on the bed, staring at the ceiling with wide eyes. She tried hard to remember everything that had happened in her dream, but it was all fragmented and she couldn't remember anything.
She could only vaguely remember that she had walked into a very strange place in her dream. It was both strange and familiar. When she tried to focus her mind to see her surroundings clearly, countless medicinal herbs suddenly flew towards her. They were densely packed together and were very terrifying.
Just as she was about to be drowned by the herbs, she woke up.
At this moment, her heart was still thumping wildly. Her head was dizzy and her body was weak. She felt like she had overdrawn her energy, and this feeling was exactly what she was familiar with.
She didn't rest midway and had continuously used the detoxification system to detoxify several patients. This was exactly what she felt.
Han Yunxi seemed to have thought of something and suddenly sat up. She wanted to take out the herbs from the detoxification system, but no matter how hard she tried, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't take them out!
The herbs that had been thrown at her in her dream were the herbs in her detoxification system. They were all boiled medicine packets.
How could this be?
Han Yunxi tried hard to concentrate on taking out the herbs, but she still couldn't take them out. Was she too tired, or was there something wrong with the detoxification system?
What did this nightmare mean?
Was that place the detoxification system's space?
Was the detoxification system messed up?
A trace of fear flashed across her heart. Han Yunxi didn't dare to try again. She leaned against the pillow and took a deep breath, telling herself to relax and relax. It must be because she was too tired. As long as she rested well, she would recover.
She took a few deep breaths and slowly closed her eyes.
But who knew that after she closed her eyes, a line of words would appear in her mind out of thin air. "The system is in a state of upgrade. Please rest more."
Pfft!
Han Yunxi immediately opened her eyes, her face full of disbelief.
She never thought that the detoxification system would have such a function. The system was in a state of upgrade, so it was temporarily on strike!
She was scared to death. She thought that there was a malfunction. One had to know that without the detoxification system, she wouldn't be able to survive in the crude medical conditions of ancient times.
Thinking back, her exhaustion after returning from Medicine City should be related to the detoxification system's upgrade.
However, Han Yunxi couldn't understand. How did the detoxification system upgrade for no reason? Could it be that after the upgrade, there would be new functions?
Was the nightmare just now a coincidence, or was there another reason? Her divine sense could control the detoxification system, but she had never been able to enter the detoxification system to see the things in the space.
The feeling in the nightmare was as if her soul and body were separated, and her soul walked into the space. Just how many surprises or scares had the engineers who developed this system prepared for her?
Han Yunxi patted her chest. No matter what, as long as the system didn't go crazy or break down, it wasn't a scare.
The upgrade was good, too. She could use this time to rest. As for learning the Tang Clan's assassination weapons, she could only postpone it for now.
In the following days, Han Yunxi went to the Han Family clinic, then to the Gu Estate to check on Gu Beiyue's wounds. She spent the rest of her time obediently staying at home.
The detoxification system's upgrade really did consume a lot of her energy. By the time she woke up, it was already close to noon. Before, she would go to Grand Concubine Yi's courtyard to sit for a while after meals, but now that she was full, she would slip back to her attic to sleep.
The more Zhao mama looked at her, the more she felt that something was off. Finally, she spoke up at mealtime. "Esteemed wangfei, you seem … to be very sleepy these days?"
"It's spring fatigue," Han Yunxi was almost falling asleep as she ate her lunch.
"Spring fatigue isn't that serious …" Zhao mama hesitated, then said, "Esteemed wangfei, how about we call Imperial Physician Li over for a look?"
"It's fine, I'm a doctor myself."
Han Yunxi stretched lazily and prepared to leave when Zhao mama grew anxious. "Esteemed wangfei, you can't be careless when it comes to things like this. What if you're pregnant?"
"Pfft …"
Han Yunxi spat out the tea she'd been rinsing her mouth with. She was still trying to figure out how to answer Zhao mama when a light cough came from the door.
Cough cough …
If Han Yunxi still had tea in her mouth, she would've spat it out again. That was because the person standing at the door was none other than Long Fei Ye.
When did this guy get here? Did he hear anything?
Only Long Feiye himself knew whether or not he'd heard anything. He walked over expressionlessly as Han Yunxi and Zhao mama hastily paid their respects.
Zhao mama's eyes flashed shrewdly as she spoke before Han Yunxi could. "Your Highness, esteemed wangfei has been drowsy recently. From this old servant's experience, it's very possible that she's pregnant. Your Highness should persuade esteemed wangfei to summon Imperial Physician Li for a look."
Han Yunxi was still feeling uneasy at Zhao mama's words, but she suddenly felt like laughing.
From what she understood, it wasn't just Zhao mama. Many people in the estate, including Grand Concubine Yi, were concerned about her relationship with Long Fei Ye. Was she favored or not?
Han Yunxi laughed in her heart as she glanced innocently at Long Fei Ye, waiting for his reply. No one in the world knew better than him whether she was pregnant or not.
But Long Fei Ye didn't hesitate. He elegantly lifted his robes and sat down as if nothing had happened. "Then why aren't you hurrying to summon Imperial Physician Li?" he asked mildly.
Zhao mama was both surprised and delighted. She was overjoyed. "This old servant will go right away, right away!"
Leaving aside whether she was pregnant or not, His Highness Duke of Qin's words proved that esteemed wangfei really had been favored. Otherwise, why would he summon an imperial physician?
That was the root of spoiling!
Zhao mama practically flew out while Han Yunxi knitted her brows as she stared at Long Fei Ye on guard.
Once Imperial Physician Li arrived, even if he didn't feel the pregnancy pulse, it still proved that Long Fei Ye really had favored her. That's why he summoned him. Who wouldn't believe it if Imperial Physician Li spread the news?
They were husband and wife to begin with, so there was no such thing as chastity. Once news of this spread, it'd confirm the rumors that she was favored and solidify her position as Qin Wangfei. There were only benefits for her.
For no reason at all, why did this guy suddenly want to help her?
Han Yunxi couldn't believe it.
Long Fei Ye allowed Han Yunxi to stare as he poured himself a cup of tea and drank it indifferently. He had been in the fu all this time, waiting for this woman to ask him to teach her how to use concealed weapons. Who knew that he would wait for several days.
He was very curious. Did this woman give up on learning, or did she really want to wait for Tang Li to teach her?
No matter what the reason was, he wouldn't accept it.
He poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Han Yunxi, indicating for her to stop looking and sit down.
"You … have something to say?" Han Yunxi asked suspiciously.
All right, she refused to believe that Long Feiye would be so kind-hearted and treat her well for no reason without any conditions. Which part of their relationship hadn't been a deal?
"What do you want to say?" Long Fei Ye asked back.
"Finding an imperial physician to check my pregnancy pulse for no reason, you …" Han Yunxi smiled mischievously, then asked again, "What do you want to do now?"
Who knew that Long Fei Ye would leisurely sip his tea before saying Coldly, "The old matriarchs in the palace and the fu are all urging me to hold a grandson, so I have to put on an act occasionally. Otherwise, what did you think this prince's motive was? "
So …
Han Yunxi's heart trembled slightly, but she quickly met Long Fei Ye's questioning gaze and laughed, "I guessed that was also the case …"
Han Yunxi lowered her head to drink her tea and didn't say anything else. Long Fei Ye looked at her indifferent appearance and his handsome brows unconsciously furrowed.
"Han Yunxi …" He didn't know why he called her name.
"Hm?" Han Yunxi raised her head to look at him, her eyes bright and magnanimous.
He hesitated for a moment, then said Coldly, "Come to my courtyard tomorrow morning and start learning the Tang Sect's hidden weapons. You're not allowed to be late!"
Huh … Han Yunxi's eyes widened in disbelief.
"After you've learned it, follow this prince to do things. You're not allowed to be a hindrance." There were conditions for him to take the initiative to teach her. Was this an explanation?
After two commanding "You're not allowed" s, he stood up and left.
Her large eyes rolled around a few times, then Han Yunxi suddenly burst out laughing.
The high and mighty Duke of Qin actually took the initiative …
