The table was filled with delicacies and wine. Those who didn't know better would have thought that Long Fei Ye was entertaining someone in this room.
Han Yunxi scanned the table of dishes and realized that many of them were dishes that she had never seen before. They looked, smelled, and tasted very tempting. However, there were at least twenty plates of dishes. Wasn't it a little too exaggerated for two people to eat?
"Is there anyone else coming? Tang Li? "she asked suspiciously.
"No." Long Fei Ye was really a man of few words.
Alright, this guy had been pampered since he was young. He was very particular about his food and clothing. Although he was out, he couldn't lower himself for a meal.
Han Yunxi ignored this question and sat down opposite him.
She ate casually and asked as she ate, "Is there anything else tonight? Will it take a long time? "
It had been a few days, and there was no news from Long Tianmo or her. Gu Beiyue would be worried, especially about Long Tianmo's condition. He had to treat it carefully.
After all, she and Gu Beiyue had made this trip for no other reason than to clear their names.
Long Fei Ye looked up and glanced at the dishes in her bowl. He seemed a little unhappy, but he didn't show it. He rolled up his sleeves elegantly and poured wine casually.
He didn't look like he had anything to do tonight.
He only replied to Han Yunxi with two words, "Eat."
Phew …
The anxious Han Yunxi secretly sighed in her heart. He had time to enjoy delicious food and wine, but she didn't have time to accompany him.
"If it's not urgent, I'll go to the medical school first." She was very serious. She ate a few mouthfuls of food, put down her bowl and chopsticks, and stood up.
Long Fei Ye's hand that was holding the wine cup suddenly tightened. If the porcelain cup wasn't hard enough, it would have cracked. Unfortunately, Han Yunxi didn't notice his hand.
"I'm leaving!"
As she spoke, she turned around and left.
Long Feiye stared coldly at her retreating form, neither more nor less. Just as Han Yunxi was about to open the door, he opened his mouth. "Han Yunxi, how much do you know about the medical academy?"
As soon as he said this, Han Yunxi immediately turned around. This was probably the first time that Long Fei Ye had talked to her about medical school.
Could it be that this guy had something to do with the medical school?
Since this guy who cherished his words as if they were gold had spoken, there must be something going on.
Was he talking to her about the medical school because of Madam Tianxin? Otherwise, he had no reason to talk to her.
She had always been investigating Madam Tianxin's background. She wanted to know why Madam Tianxin had concealed her identity and married Han Congan while pregnant. She wanted to know whether Madam Tianxin's difficult labor was an accident or if someone had plotted to kill her. She also wanted to know who her biological father was.
From what she knew, Han Congan only had one clue. Madam Tianxin was related to the medical school and had the ability to get a director position for Han Congan.
This matter was much more important than meeting Gu Beiyue!
"Not much. What do you want to say?"
Han Yunxi walked back and stood in front of Long Fei Ye, but Long Fei Ye was still as calm as ever. He wasn't anxious at all.
"Have you heard of the medical school's Poison Sect?" Long Fei Ye asked.
As expected, when this guy didn't talk about it, it was shocking.
"Medical school" and "Poison Sect" — how could these two words be related?
Han Yunxi was very surprised. Like a humble child, she quickly sat down and asked anxiously, "How can there be a Poison Sect?"
Wasn't the medical school's only branch the Medical Sect? Didn't they only teach medical skills and train doctors to cure illnesses and save lives?
Seeing Han Yunxi sit back down, Long Fei Ye's lips curved into a satisfied smile. "The medical school once had two major sects, the Medical Sect and the Poison Sect. Their purpose was to save lives and do good deeds. Later on, the Poison Sect was destroyed and became a taboo in the medical school. Fewer and fewer people knew about it."
Han Yunxi couldn't believe it. She'd always known that "medicine and poison are one family," but never expected it to be true in the medical school.
"Why was it destroyed?" Han Yunxi asked hastily.
"Someone who's good at treating poisons must also be good at using poisons," Long Fei Ye said mildly.
Han Yunxi was very familiar with these words. Once upon a time, Emperor Tianhui had taken note of her because of them.
In the end, poison was a dangerous thing.
Even if you didn't have the heart to use poison, others still wouldn't tolerate you.
However, how could it be so easy to annihilate a sect? Since it was a sect, it had to have inviolable authority and powerful branches.
For example, Medical City and Medicine City were both cities and sects. That was why even the imperial powers and empires feared them.
"How was the Poison Sect destroyed?" Han Yunxi was very curious.
It wasn't clear whether Long Fei Ye really didn't know, or if he was faking it. In any case, he shook his head.
Her curiosity was piqued, but it couldn't be satisfied. It was truly annoying.
Han Yunxi pursed her lips and asked probingly, "Why … are you telling me all this?"
She'd lied and claimed that Lady Tianxin had taught her poison skills. This guy wouldn't take it seriously and track her down to the medical school's Poison Sect, right?
Faced with Han Yunxi's question, Long Fei Ye fell silent.
Why did he tell her all this?
It seemed … he didn't have any ulterior motives other than chatting and not letting her leave.
"Just what is it?" Han Yunxi asked curiously.
Long Fei Ye avoided her gaze and hesitated before saying, "There's a poison storehouse in the Poison Sect's forbidden grounds in Medical City. It's the most complete storehouse in the world. Perhaps you can find clues to unraveling the Perplexing Dreams there."
That should be a reasonable explanation, right?
Unexpectedly, Han Yunxi's bright eyes dimmed at these words.
Perplexing Butterfly Illusion was a poison that Han Yunxi had always carried with her. It was also the most troublesome poison that Han Yunxi had ever encountered. Even now, she hadn't been able to determine whether it was poisonous.
After the last upgrade of the detoxification system, many new poisonous plants had grown out of the poison pool it had swallowed from Medicine City. Moreover, the detoxification system had also developed its own antidote.
This was a huge leap forward for the detoxification system. Unfortunately, it wasn't of any help in unraveling the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion. That small bottle of poison was just like its name: Perplexing Butterfly Illusion.
Han Yunxi took out the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion from her medical pouch and sighed inwardly. She should've guessed that this guy wouldn't be so nice as to tell her about Lady Tianxin so frankly.
Fine, she should've guessed that he wouldn't appear just to save her this time.
He'd come for Medical City's poison storehouse.
When would the relationship between her and this man become a little more pure?
Was it because it wasn't pure that she always felt a sense of unfamiliarity when she was by his side?
For a moment, Han Yunxi lost interest in the secrets of Medical City's Poison Sect. She stood up and smiled faintly. "Your Highness, no matter how urgent the matter of the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion is, it'll have to wait until Gu Beiyue and I have cleared our names. I have to make a trip to the medical academy. Excuse me."
Long Fei Ye hadn't expected Han Yunxi to react this way. He asked unhappily, "It's the middle of the night. What's so urgent?"
Han Yunxi was delighted and her smile grew even brighter. "Your Highness, of course it's urgent. This concubine has to discuss the Crown Prince's condition with Imperial Physician Gu to prevent any possibility of his illness developing. If that happens and there's trouble during the consultation, how can this concubine go to the poison storehouse with you with a guilty body? "
Long Fei Ye's expression changed when he heard this. It was rare to see him lose control and panic. However, he hesitated to speak, his handsome face turning cold.
He didn't say anything, so she took his silence as a tacit agreement.
"I'm leaving!" Han Yunxi elegantly turned to leave.
"The medical academy isn't a place you can enter as you please." Long Fei Ye finally spoke up.
"This concubine can enter as long as I tell you my name. Your Highness doesn't need to wait for this concubine to return." Han Yunxi didn't turn back. Her words meant that she wouldn't be returning to the inn after revealing her whereabouts.
"This prince said that you're not allowed to leave because I have something to do tonight," Long Fei Ye said in a low voice.
"What is it? Please speak, Your Highness." Han Yunxi finally turned around.
What is it?
What is it?
Long Fei Ye's frosty expression turned even colder, but he didn't reply for a long time.
"Your Highness, please speak," Han Yunxi took a few steps forward and asked seriously.
Although she was still angry, she still took his "business" seriously.
However, Long Fei Ye just stared at her without saying a word.
What does this guy want? Is he playing with me?
"If it's not something important, this concubine …"
Unexpectedly, before Han Yunxi could finish speaking, Long Fei Ye interrupted her. "Yes, serve me in bed tonight."
What?
Han Yunxi didn't even have time to close her mouth. She was so shocked that she froze on the spot, flabbergasted and unmoving.
Tonight … there's something … serve him in bed tonight!
Han Yunxi didn't know how long it took her to digest Long Fei Ye's words. In any case, when she came back to her senses, Long Fei Ye was still sitting in front of her, looking at her Coldly.
She tried very hard to move the corners of her mouth, trying to make herself smile. However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't smile.
She could only ask stiffly, "Your Highness, this joke isn't funny at all."
"Does this prince look like he's joking with you?"
After Long Fei Ye finished speaking, he stood up. Looking at his proud and tall figure, Han Yunxi still felt oppressed even though they were five or six steps away.
"Your Highness … you really know how to joke." Han Yunxi unconsciously took a few steps back.
Long Fei Ye raised his eyebrows and asked, "You still want to leave?"
"Your Highness, this concubine just happened to be unlucky these few days. It's not convenient for me to serve you in bed. How about …" Han Yunxi herself felt that this excuse was very lame.
Very soon, Long Feiye cut him off. "Then you can keep watch."
Keep watch …
This was the job of a maidservant or concubine. She had to guard under the bed and accompany him in bed at the door. She was the official consort. How could she do such a thing?
At this moment, Han Yunxi didn't care so much. As long as it wasn't serving him in bed, she could accept it.
Her wildly thumping heart finally slowed down. Han Yunxi also calmed down.
What was this man trying to do? Was he deliberately looking for trouble? This didn't seem like his style at all!
After a moment of silence, the atmosphere seemed to be less tense. Han Yunxi also calmed down.
She gathered her courage and said very seriously and sincerely, "Long Fei Ye, if you really don't have anything important to say, then let me go. I want to go see Luo Zuishan with Gu Beiyue."
Unexpectedly, Long Fei Ye's icy expression didn't change. He threw her a sentence, "This prince is sleepy. You can keep watch under the bed tonight."
