Han Yunxi looked to the side in a daze, only to see Long Fei Ye leaning on the side with his eyes closed. That grave and stern face that angered both men and gods was especially quiet at this moment, like a painting. No matter how one looked at it, it was a kind of enjoyment.
Han Yunxi was shocked and subconsciously pursed her lips, afraid that she would wake him up.
Only then did she realize that she was actually sleeping on the bed in his bedchamber. Above her head was a towering and luxurious umbrella-shaped canopy, below her was an extremely soft white fox fur coat, and covered her body with a silk brocade quilt that was as light as goose feathers. Around her was the same fresh scent as his body, with a unique faint scent of ambergris.
While everything displayed his nobility, it also represented this man's most private sleeping preferences and habits. Lying here was equivalent to completely stepping into his world, and it was terrifying.
She wanted to get up, but she was infatuated with this comfort and safety.
At this moment, Long Fei Ye suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at her from the corner of his eyes. "You're awake?"
Uh, when did he wake up? Or was he not asleep all this time and was just pretending to be asleep?
"I just woke up, I … What's wrong?"
She pretended to be confused. She knew that once the detoxification system's upgrade was completed, she would completely return to normal.
She couldn't enter the unknown realm in the detoxification space. Presumably, it still needed to be developed and upgraded. If the poison pond's water triggered the detoxification system's upgrade, what else could trigger the detoxification system's second upgrade? How many unknown functions were still waiting to be developed?
Han Yunxi couldn't think of anything, but she believed that the surprises would only get bigger and bigger.
She was in a daze when Long Fei Ye suddenly asked, "Do you have something on your mind?"
Why did he suddenly ask this?
This time, Han Yunxi was really at a loss. She shook her head, her eyes especially innocent. "No … I, I might be too tired during this period of time. My body is a little weak."
"Did you encounter any trouble?" Long Fei Ye asked again.
Han Yunxi didn't understand and still shook her head. Was there a direct relationship between her worries and her coma?
Long Feiye gave her a deep look before rising to his feet. "Zhao mama, summon Imperial Physician Gu over."
Han Yunxi couldn't understand Long Fei Ye's gaze. It wasn't until Gu Beiyue roughly explained the diagnosis that she understood what was going on.
She only wanted to say that Gu Beiyue was simply a genius. He was so close to digging out the root of the problem.
"Esteemed Princess Consort, those who overwork their minds are prone to illness. If you have any worries, don't keep them to yourself. Your health is more important."
It would be a lie to say that Gu Beiyue wasn't curious, but with Long Feiye by his side, he couldn't ask too many questions. All he did was prescribe some medicine to calm the nerves and take his leave.
Long Fei Ye leaned to the side and crossed his arms. Coldly, he asked, "What is it that you can't let go of? Tell me so that I can consider it."
Everything in the Han Family was going smoothly, the medical center was becoming more and more famous, and she had just taken power in the Duke of Qin's Manor. It was as if she had regained her freedom. What kind of worries did this woman have?
Of course, she herself was a mystery, so there were naturally things that he couldn't control.
With her temperament, what could have caused her to lose her mind and be so exhausted that she fainted?
Long Fei Ye really wanted to know. Coldly, he looked at Han Yunxi, waiting for her answer.
Han Yunxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Even if the sky fell, she wouldn't do anything that would make her depressed!
Ignoring Long Fei Ye's questioning gaze, she got off the bed and lightly said, "Your Highness, this concubine is really fine."
"Han Yunxi, are you hiding something from this prince?" Long Fei Ye persistently wanted to know.
However, this suspicious tone made Han Yunxi very uncomfortable. Who was he to her? She had plenty of things that she didn't want him to know, okay?!
Han Yunxi turned around and patiently said, "This concubine does have something on her mind. This concubine's heart is flustered and can't think through it. This concubine is also angry."
Flustered and angry? Did someone bully her?
A trace of seriousness flashed through Long Fei Ye's cold eyes, but he didn't make a sound and waited for her to continue.
Han Yunxi didn't hesitate and directly said, "Your Highness, this concubine just doesn't understand why Your Highness wants this concubine to move back. Although this concubine is only a Qin Wangfei in name, does this concubine not have a place to live in such a large Duke of Qin's Manor?"
She hadn't forgotten that she had fainted.
With her personality, since she had asked, there was no reason for her to back down. She had to get an answer.
Long Fei Ye didn't expect this and his brows furrowed. Han Yunxi, on the other hand, was very relaxed. She smoothed out her bangs, her eyes bright and magnanimous. "Your Highness, isn't it good that this concubine doesn't disturb you when she moves out? Why do you want this concubine to move back? "
Looking at this woman's fearless gaze that dared to love and hate, Long Fei Ye's gaze also became heated. He was just a little bit away from indulging himself.
However, in the end, coldness replaced the heat in his eyes. He didn't even look at Han Yunxi and coldly said, "No reason. If you want to move, then move."
After he finished speaking, he walked past Han Yunxi expressionlessly and quickly disappeared through the door.
Even after he had left, Han Yunxi seemed to be stunned at that moment. She only felt that her heart had suddenly become empty, as if it had been hollowed out. Even her brain was empty and she couldn't think for a moment. Her palms hurt badly, as if countless ants were gnawing on them. It hurt so much that she had to clench her hands tightly to relieve the pain.
Why, even though she only liked him a little, why was there so much sadness?
"Esteemed Princess Consort, Esteemed Princess Consort …" Han Yunxi only regained her senses when Zhao mama came over with the medicine.
"Esteemed Princess Consort, this was just brewed. Imperial Physician Gu instructed you to drink it while it's hot." Zhao mama urged.
Han Yunxi looked over but didn't move.
"Esteemed Princess Consort, if there's anything on your mind, why don't you tell this old servant? Don't keep it in your heart. It's not good for your health. You didn't see how worried His Highness was about you. He was always by your side." Zhao mama said seriously.
Wasn't it because he was still suspicious of her?
Wasn't he very curious about Madam Tianxin's background?
Han Yunxi smiled and said indifferently, "There's no need to brew this medicine. I'm fine. Pass down the order to immediately move everything in Leisurely Cloud Pavilion back to Narcissus Residence. From now on, it will be called Leisurely Cloud Courtyard. "
Zhao mama didn't expect this and was so shocked that she almost dropped the medicine in her hands. "Esteemed Princess Consort, why … But His Highness …"
"His Highness knows. Do it immediately. I'm still waiting to catch up on sleep!"
Han Yunxi coldly ordered and left after she finished speaking. Her figure was graceful and her steps were free and easy. She had a unique strength of character.
Since she dared to ask, she could accept any answer. It was good that she could move out. She was free and her heart was free. As for the rest … she thought, "Who cares!"
The most depressed people were none other than granny Zhao and Housekeeper Xia. They had moved three times in a day, and the last time was when the sun was about to rise. They really couldn't understand what the two masters were up to.
Almost all of the servants were secretly betting that the two masters would continue to make a fuss. But Long Fei Ye didn't ask any more questions, while Han Yunxi settled down in Leisurely Cloud Courtyard. The next few days passed peacefully.
Just like that, the days passed until one day the empress dowager came to visit Grand Concubine Yi.
Since the assassination plot had failed, the empress dowager was probably in a bad mood. She hadn't even come to visit when the incident had spread like wildfire. Why would she come again after a month?
Han Yunxi couldn't figure it out.
The number of times the empress dowager had visited the Duke of Qin's estate could be counted on one hand, but every time she did, she'd put on a grand show of honor. Everyone in the estate would come out to greet her, including Grand Concubine Yi.
After exhausting the people, money, and mind, she'd finally invited this great Buddha to the main seat in the main hall. Compared to the empress dowager, Han Yunxi suddenly felt that Grand Concubine Yi wasn't so hateful after all.
"Grand Concubine Yi, I know everything about the assassination attempt …" the empress dowager's words were full of brazen provocation.
She knew everything? She knew the ins and outs of the whole thing, right?
But neither Grand Concubine Yi nor Han Yunxi could expose her. Leaving aside the fact that they had no proof, even if they did, it wouldn't be easy to topple her. After all, she had the emperor backing her up.
"Grand Concubine Yi, you've been frightened. Poor Wanru, that child … aye, what a good child. Why do you think her life is so bitter? "the empress dowager sighed with emotion.
Grand Concubine Yi was exhausted from the empress dowager's ceremonial procession early in the morning. Hearing these words, she almost couldn't hide the fury in her eyes. If not for the fact that she was clenching her fists tightly in her sleeves, she would've exploded long ago. The empress dowager loved to see Grand Concubine Yi like this.
She sighed and continued, "Grand Concubine Yi, you're only her foster mother, but your heart is still hurt because of her. If her birth parents found out about this, what would happen?"
Grand Concubine Yi's face was ghastly white as her body trembled uncontrollably. She seemed ready to throw herself at the empress dowager and perish together with her. Han Yunxi immediately sensed that something was wrong. The empress dowager seemed to be testing something. She quickly walked over and pressed down on Grand Concubine Yi's shoulders to give her strength.
"Mufei, it's already happened. Don't think too much about it. It's good that you're alright. Otherwise, it would be His Highness … and chenqie who would be sad."
Han Yunxi emphasized the words' His Highness. 'Only then did Grand Concubine Yi calm down from her rage. She silently exhaled and picked up her tea to sip.
Only then did the empress dowager look at Han Yunxi. Han Yunxi happened to look at her as well, their eyes meeting. Han Yunxi didn't back down, but changed the topic. "Empress Dowager, is esteemed empress feeling better? Does she still miss Princess Changping? "
Who didn't know how to pick at scars?
Lady Tianxin had saved her life, while she'd saved the crown prince's. This old thing still bit the hand that fed her. In the future, she better not ask Han Yunxi for help again. Otherwise, she'd definitely get back at her with interest!
Han Yunxi's two questions were simply rubbing salt on the empress dowager's scars. The empress dowager's face immediately sank. "Han Yunxi, I'm talking to your mufei. There's no place for you to butt in!"
Han Yunxi put on a false smile. "Chenqie is only concerned about esteemed empress. I hope esteemed empress dowager will forgive me."
She's bringing up the empress again!
The empress dowager was furious. On one side, Li mama quickly spoke up. "Mistress, don't forget about proper business. We're here for Miss Wanru's matters."
Han Yunxi grew doubtful. What's there to do with Murong Wanru?
The empress dowager adjusted her breathing and resumed her graceful, luxurious posture. "I was so happy to see Grand Concubine Yi well that I forgot all about it."
She smiled at Grand Concubine Yi and said sincerely, "Grand Concubine Yi, don't be sad. I've asked the emperor for a title for Wanru. She's been serving you for so many years, so she should have a title as well. The emperor said that the imperial edict will be sent to her family in the countryside, so she can bring honor to her ancestors. You have to make preparations and find everyone. Don't make a fool of yourself. "
Han Yunxi and Grand Concubine Yi were both startled by these words. The imperial edict should've been sent to Marquis Pingbei's estate, but to her family in the countryside? What did that mean?
