Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi had a tacit understanding of what kind of shady business Long Fei Ye had just done. Both of them were currently in an awkward situation, so Tang Li's question only made the atmosphere even stranger.
Naturally, the taciturn Long Fei Ye wouldn't answer. Han Yunxi lowered her head as she silently applied acupuncture to detoxify Long Fei Ye. Her face was expressionless as she pretended not to hear anything.
Tang Li rubbed his chin as he gave the two of them a suspicious look. He seemed to have noticed something amiss and snickered silently to himself.
Tang Li had shut his mouth, but his words had already set off perilous waves that couldn't be quelled.
She didn't know what Long Fei Ye's current state of mind was, but Han Yunxi's heart had long been turned upside down and thrown into disarray.
Why was he playing with her?
Did he have nothing better to do? Was he bored? Or was he in a good mood today?
But even if he was bored or in a good mood, he still wouldn't do something like this!
In Han Yunxi's impression, as well as everyone else's, Tianning's Duke of Qin was nothing but cold and indifferent. Forget joking around, he didn't even know how to smile.
Or perhaps, this was another side of Long Fei Ye that few people knew about. She just didn't know about it all this time?
In any case, Han Yunxi couldn't find a reason. She quietly mulled things over in her mind until her thoughts wandered as she applied the needles.
Abruptly, Long Feiye's arm shuddered before he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
"Ah …!"
It wasn't Long Fei Ye who cried out, but Han Yunxi's. She'd pricked the wrong acupuncture point!
"I'm sorry, I know it hurts a lot …"
With the wrong acupuncture point, the pain of the needle was comparable to a knife stabbing into one's heart. It was unbearable. As a doctor, Han Yunxi knew this best.
"I didn't do it on purpose. I know it hurts a lot, but … it'll be better soon. Bear with it."
She'd always been confident in detoxifying poisons, but this was probably the most flustered she'd ever been in her two lifetimes. He didn't seem like a doctor at all.
She braced herself and looked over. Long Fei Ye happened to be looking over as well. He didn't cry out in pain, nor did he blame her. He just gave her a Cold look before turning his head away. From the side, she could see that he was frowning. The curve of his face was so handsome that it angered both men and gods.
One could only imagine how painful it was for him to frown.
Han Yunxi really felt guilty. Facing his indifference, she didn't know what to say. She could only silently continue the acupuncture. However, after a while, she was distracted again.
Should he question him?
"Long Fei Ye, is it fun to play with me like this?"
"Long Fei Ye, you deserve to be bitten!"
"Long Fei Ye, you're already an adult. Aren't you bored?"
"Long Fei Ye, you have to apologize. Otherwise, I won't detoxify you!"
…
All kinds of self-righteous questions kept echoing in her mind. If it was any other time, even if she was facing him, she would still dare to question him. However, it was so awkward this time.
When she thought of how Long Fei Ye had "flirted" with her just now, she didn't dare to ask. She even didn't dare to look him in the eye.
Han Yunxi was so confused!
In this confusion, Han Yunxi made a mistake again. She pricked the wrong acupoint again. This time, blood didn't spurt out. Instead, all the black blood stopped flowing.
Han Yunxi actually didn't realize it until Tang Li reminded her. "Has the poisoned blood been expelled so quickly?"
"Ah?"
Han Yunxi looked up. Without waiting for Tang Li to answer, she immediately looked down at Long Fei Ye's wound. Only then did she realize that she was ridiculously wrong!
Damn it!
She despised herself in her heart but didn't dare to talk nonsense. She buried her head and hurriedly changed the needles. Long Fei Ye didn't move, but his cold and handsome face was much paler.
After a while, Han Yunxi finally managed to expel all the poison from Long Fei Ye's arm. She applied medicine and carefully bandaged the wound.
Tang Li came over at this time. He rubbed his chin and glanced at Long Fei Ye's wound. He said slowly, "Long Fei Ye, this is your first time being bitten by a woman, right …"
At this point, neither of them responded. Tang Li continued casually, "You let her bite you on purpose, right?"
As soon as he said that, Han Yunxi suddenly tightened her grip on the bandage. She tightened her grip and the bandage wrapped around the wound!
"Ha!"
Long Fei Ye groaned heavily and finally turned his head to look over. However, he seemed to want to act as if nothing had happened and directly avoided Han Yunxi.
He narrowed his eyes and stared at Tang Li. Coldly, he asked, "Where's Long Tianmo?"
After Han Yunxi's group left the Supreme Court, he followed them and secretly protected them.
When the black-clothed assassin kidnapped Long Tianmo, Tang Li had already secretly chased after him. When Luo Zuishan was kidnapped, he also wanted to send people to track him down. He only gave up when he saw Gu appear.
In this consultation, Long Tianmo was very important. Luo Zuishan was also very important. However, as long as Han Yunxi was still around, he wouldn't appear for anyone. How could Jun Yi Xie's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain escape his eyes?
When Long Fei Ye asked this, Tang Li remembered that he had rushed over for an urgent matter.
"He was taken away by Jun Yi Xie. His mother's poison skills are too powerful. I can't beat him!" Tang Li quickly replied.
"He went to look for Long Tianmo?" Long Fei Ye was a little surprised.
Jun Yi Xie used the plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and Long Fei Ye beat him at his own game. As long as Jun Yi Xie didn't personally appear, it would be easy for Tang Li to deal with the black-clothed assassins and rescue Long Tianmo.
But who knew that Jun Yi Xie, who should have chased Long Fei Ye, didn't chase after him. Instead, he turned around to protect Long Tianmo.
It had to be admitted that if Long Tianmo fell into Jun Yi Xie's hands, there would be a lot of trouble.
"This prince underestimated him." Long Fei Ye was a step behind. This made Long Fei Ye very unhappy.
"This guy's background is mysterious. I investigated for a long time in Northern Li, but I couldn't find anything about him." Tang Li said seriously.
Han Yunxi listened silently on the side. She had a rough idea of what was going on. Just as she was about to ask, a black-clothed guard rushed over and reported in a panic, "Your Highness, Jun Yi Xie sent someone to pass on a message. He said …"
Although the black-clothed guard was anxious, he stuttered and didn't dare to continue speaking.
"Is he seeking death? Hurry up and speak! "Tang Li was anxious.
The black-clothed guard glanced at Han Yunxi before continuing. "Jun Yi Xie sent someone to pass on a message. He wants Your Highness to exchange esteemed wangfei for His Highness the Crown Prince …"
At this, Long Fei Ye suddenly looked straight at the black-clothed guard. His piercing gaze made the guard shiver uncontrollably, as if he'd committed some heinous crime.
Han Yunxi wasn't surprised. Jun Yi Xie had kidnapped so many people for her sake. The medical academy's consultation had nothing to do with him at all.
If she was exchanged for Long Tianmo, the medical academy's consultation could still continue. Luo Zuishan could prove that she and Gu Beiyue weren't guilty, so the Duke of Qin's estate wouldn't be implicated, right?
Moreover, if news of this reached Emperor Tianhui's ears, Long Fei Ye would be able to cut ties with her and express goodwill towards the emperor.
It wasn't that Han Yunxi was looking down on Long Fei Ye, but that a wise man submits to circumstances. A man who tries to be brave isn't a hero. After all, Tianning was still Emperor Tianhui's world, while Long Fei Ye was only a king.
Han Yunxi was still trying to figure out the intricacies of the situation when Long Fei Ye asked, "When and where?"
"Three days from now, at noon at Xuankong Temple. If you're late …"
"What?"
"To … silence," the black-clothed guard's voice trembled.
Silence?
Kill Tianning's crown prince?
Tang Li's face paled a few shades as he looked at Long Fei Ye. He wanted to speak, but stopped himself. Jun Yi Xie was too insolent, wasn't he?
With Long Fei Ye's personality, he'd definitely come to save the woman instead of swapping her out. He'd protect both Han Yunxi and Long Tianmo.
But this time, Jun Yi Xie wouldn't have dared to say such words unless he'd made sufficient preparations.
Long Fei Ye wouldn't be able to gain the upper hand in this situation. In fact, it was highly possible that he'd be trapped in a tiger's den with no return.
Han Yunxi understood the intricacies of the situation as well.
Seeing Long Fei Ye's stern and stern profile, she spoke without hesitation. "Go ahead and swap. When the time comes, you guys can leave. I have my own ways to deal with him."
But Long Fei Ye's eyes immediately turned cold at her words. He said angrily, "Han Yunxi, do you think your lordship came here for nothing?"
He'd gone to great lengths to save this woman, but she was going to deliver herself to his doorstep. Wouldn't everything he'd done be wasted?
What kind of person did she take him for? Would he hand over the woman under his name so easily?
Or did she take his act at the justice courts for real?
Han Yunxi was rendered speechless by his fierce words. Sensing the change in the atmosphere, Tang Li hastened to smooth things over. "Of course you have to go. When the time comes, you two can work together to deal with Jun Yi Xie. Leave the rest to me."
Unexpectedly, Long Fei Ye tossed him two words. "I'm not going."
"What?" Tang Li was frightened. After all, once Long Tianmo died, there'd be no end to Emperor Tianhui's problems.
Han Yunxi gave a start, wondering if she'd heard wrong.
But Long Fei Ye's next words left her completely stupefied. He ordered the black-robed guards, "Go tell Jun Yi Xie that even if he has the skills to trade Northern Li's lands for her, your lordship won't do the exchange."
He didn't need to trade for what he wanted; he'd never hand over what he had.
Long Fei Ye turned to leave as soon as he finished speaking, leaving Han Yunxi frozen in place. She didn't know what to do.
Who could tell her if those words just now could be considered as overbearing words of love? This man had actually given her the answer to a choice between a country and a woman.
But … but who could tell her why she still felt distant and unfamiliar as she watched his retreating form.
It was as if that icy kiss from the past had meant a lot, but it also felt like nothing.
Han Yunxi stood there in a daze. Long Fei Ye had already walked far away, but he still turned back to look at her Cold voice. "Han Yunxi, you're still not leaving?"
"Where are we going?" Han Yunxi asked without a second thought.
"I told you just then. Why aren't you leaving?" Long Fei Ye urged impatiently.
Just now?
Mm, he'd said he'd take her to Medical City when he was teasing her.
So he hadn't forgotten what happened just then!
Han Yunxi was still a little confused, but she couldn't help but smile. There was no need to ask about what happened in the justice courts. No matter what, it was good that he'd come.
She quickly caught up to him and walked by his side. Soon enough, Long Fei Ye took her into his arms and flew into the air towards Medical City.
Three days later, Jun Yi Xie waited for nothing at Xuankong Temple!
