Long Fei Ye's questioning gaze was rather frightening. However, Han Yunxi's mental fortitude was still rather strong. She was very confident and wasn't afraid.
After staring for a while, seeing that Han Yunxi's gaze was calm, Long Fei Ye didn't ask any more questions and turned around to leave.
After confirming that the fellow had really left, Han Yunxi hurriedly stood up. She was puzzled. This fellow couldn't have found the three medicines so quickly, right? What kind of poison did he want her to make the antidote for?
Han Yunxi, who had just come out of the bath, was like a lotus flower emerging from the water. She was elegant and refined, and compared to her usual self, she had a bit more of an otherworldly feeling. Especially her pair of large eyes, they were as clear and bright as the ice lake in the snowy highlands.
Long Feiye looked at her as he walked towards her, his eyes darkening.
Walking into the study, he took out a piece of white cloth stained with blood. "There's poison in this blood. Take a look."
The detoxification system had already warned her that there was poison. Han Yunxi took it and sniffed it. She didn't smell anything. It didn't seem to be a common poison.
"I can't smell this poison. Help me find a bowl of water." Han Yunxi said seriously.
She didn't need water. She just wanted to send Long Fei Ye away. This fellow was very shrewd. He was already suspicious of her. If she put the blood sample into the detoxification system in front of him, it might not escape his eyes.
That night when she helped him detoxify the poison, he was seriously injured and unconscious. Moreover, she also hid in the bedroom to get the needle and the antidote.
Long Fei Ye didn't understand poison. Without saying anything, he turned around and left. Han Yunxi was certain that he really left. Only then did she take out the golden needle and collect some blood from the white cloth and put it into the detoxification system for testing.
This test revealed that this poison was a flower poison. Every flower would more or less contain poison. A small amount wouldn't cause poisoning, but a large amount would become a real poison.
Long Fei Ye quickly returned and personally brought a bowl of water. Han Yunxi pretended to put the white cloth in the water. Then she used the golden needle to collect some blood and sniffed it.
"This is a flower poison, rosemary." She said with certainty.
"Make the antidote. I want it now," Long Fei Ye ordered.
His tone made Han Yunxi very unhappy. Did this guy think she was a medicine dispenser?
She was calm and composed as she stretched out her hand gracefully. "Alright, I'll give you fifty taels of silver first as the consultation fee."
Long Fei Ye's eyes flashed with a touch of displeasure. He didn't move for a long time. This woman actually reached out and asked him for money?
Meeting Long Fei Ye's disgusted gaze, Han Yunxi knew that she was being unscrupulous at this moment, but she was so poor!
When she got married, her maternal family hadn't given her a single copper coin. Grand Concubine Yi was in charge of the Duke of Qin's estate, while Murong Wanru helped with the finances. Even now, they still hadn't given her a monthly stipend. It was likely that they never would.
Although she didn't need to spend money on food and lodging here, she still needed to buy clothes, give rewards to the servants, run errands outside, and buy ingredients for the detox system. All of these required money.
Leaving aside everything else, just giving rewards to the servants was a huge expense. The servants of rich families were the most snobbish, talkative, and arrogant of all!
If she wanted to live a more stable life, she had to deal with these people first and keep their mouths shut.
Long Fei Ye didn't say much, but tossed a pouch of silver onto the table. Judging from the sound, it was more than fifty taels.
Han Yunxi accepted it and took out 50 taels. Without hesitation, she pushed the rest of the money back. "Your Highness, I've already said that 50 taels is the consultation fee. It's something I deserve. You can take back the rest."
She might be poor, but she wasn't a beggar. She still had to have some backbone.
So speaking, she picked up her brush and began to write down the prescription for the antidote. Just like when she was administering the needles, her small face was serious and her eyes were focused. Her petite figure silently emanated an indescribable charm that made people want to draw closer. They wanted to enter her world and see what kind of woman she really was.
The displeasure in Long Fei Ye's eyes gradually dissipated, to be replaced by a playful look. He silently put away the pouch.
After she finished writing down the prescription, Han Yunxi presented it with both hands and asked curiously, "Your Highness, have you found the three ingredients yet?"
"Not yet." Long Fei Ye gave her these two words without any further explanation. Han Yunxi was curious. This guy couldn't even take care of his own poison, so why would he care about other people?
Just what kind of person had been poisoned by rosemary?
Of course, Han Yunxi was just curious. She understood that curiosity killed the cat.
She assumed that Long Fei Ye would leave as soon as he got the prescription, but he actually handed it over to Chu Xifeng and stayed behind himself.
If it was anyone else, they'd be searching day and night for the antidote by now. This guy only had ten days, but he didn't seem to value his life that much.
Fine, if he stayed behind, then she'd have to sleep in the study again.
But Long Fei Ye simply walked towards the hot springs without looking back. Cold, he ordered, "Han Yunxi, get out."
Please, it was already the middle of the night. Where did he want her to go?
If he put down the curtains, this sleeping quarters could be divided into many rooms. She didn't even mind, so why should a man like him care?
Han Yunxi chased after him and smiled apologetically. "Your Highness, how do you plan to settle chenqie down?"
Other concubines all had their own courtyards, but she was the empress of the palace, so she didn't even have a place to stay.
"I'll find the steward to make arrangements," Long Fei Ye said mildly.
Steward …
Han Yunxi's mouth twitched. Finding the steward to make arrangements was giving Murong Wanru a chance to mess with her. Murong Wanru helped Grand Concubine Yi take care of all the affairs at the Duke of Qin's estate. Only Long Fei Ye's Hibiscus Courtyard was independent. No one could manage it.
If she left the Hibiscus Courtyard, she'd be in a lot of trouble.
Thinking up to here, Han Yunxi smiled again. "Your Highness, you take the bedroom and I'll take the study. We won't interfere with each other, alright?"
Long Fei Ye stopped without turning around. His tone was as cold as ever. "Your lordship isn't used to it. I'll leave immediately."
For better or worse, she'd saved his life once. What a heartless man!
Even if you're not used to it, I'm not used to it either!
The room belonged to someone else, so Han Yunxi had no choice but to leave.
She held the lantern as she strolled through the Hibiscus Courtyard. She'd been married for two days, but hadn't had time to take a good look around the courtyard. Very soon, Han Yunxi had a good grasp of the place.
The courtyard wasn't small, but it only had a single sleeping quarters and a small, short loft. The loft seemed to be reserved for servants, but there were no servants in the Hibiscus Courtyard.
After making sure there was no one around, Han Yunxi rejoiced and hung the lantern on the wall. From now on, this place was hers!
The first floor could be turned into a study and guest hall, while the second floor was a bedroom. If this was the modern era, it'd be a single duplex.
That night, Han Yunxi had long forgotten all about her unhappiness at the general's estate. She hugged the 50 taels of silver and pondered over how to decorate her little territory before she fell asleep.
Early next morning, Long Fei Ye had long disappeared without a trace. Han Yunxi wanted to find someone to ask, but there was no one else in the Hibiscus Courtyard besides herself.
First, it'd be best if they didn't meet. That way, they wouldn't hate each other!
Very good, he'd live his life while she lived hers, free and unfettered.
Han Yunxi went over to move her dowry to the loft. Even though they were all old things, they were still treasures when she had nothing.
When Han Yunxi was tidying up the things, she found a light purple cloth bag. Looking at it carefully, she realized it was a self-made medicine box. Even though it was small, it had all the essentials. There were many small compartments sewn inside that could be used to store different types of medicinal herbs. There was also a needle case that could store different types of medical needles.
The small cloth bag was brand new, with the word "Xin" embroidered on the bottom right corner of the back. Without a doubt, it was left behind by Madam Tianxin.
This should be something that Madam Tianxin left for her.
Thinking about how Madam Tianxin was pregnant and had great expectations for the child in her womb, Han Yunxi's eyes couldn't help but turn red. She felt bitter.
After painstakingly carrying the child for ten months, did Madam Tianxin ever think that she, a Divine Doctor, would die from dystocia? She couldn't even see her child once. She'd placed such high hopes on the child, but did she ever think that the child would be a good-for-nothing and suffer all sorts of humiliation in the Han Family?
Madam Tianxin, don't worry. The current Yunxi definitely won't disappoint you!
Han Yunxi took out a set of acupuncture needles from her detox system, along with a few commonly used medicinal herbs, as well as medical cotton swabs, gauze, and other small items. She placed them all neatly into the small cloth bag.
From now on, this would be her medical pouch.
The detox system she carried on her person was an invisible "space." She could put and take things out as she pleased. But if she did this in front of others, it'd be treated as magic in the modern world. In ancient times, it'd be considered witchcraft.
Perfect, this small medical pouch could act as a cover for her. Han Yunxi slung the pouch over her shoulder. From now on, she'd carry it with her wherever she went!
After tidying up her things, Han Yunxi went out to buy some necessities. She cleaned up her little room until it was clean and cozy. Originally, she thought she could have a good sleep, but trouble came knocking on her door as soon as she laid down.
Mu Qingwu hadn't woken up, so General Mu had personally come to find her!
Han Yunxi was extremely shocked. She couldn't believe it no matter what, so she hurried to the guest hall.
By now, Murong Wanru had already arrived. She was sitting to the left of the host's seat and talking with General Mu.
Seeing her enter, General Mu grew angry. "Han Yunxi, you liar! You said Qingwu would wake up, but he still hasn't. Moreover, he's running a high fever! You have to give me an explanation for this, or else I won't let you off! "
General Mu had asked Gu Beiyue to watch over him these past few days. When this kind of situation occurred, Gu Beiyue was also helpless. He couldn't identify the cause of the illness. Gu Beiyue suggested looking for Han Yunxi again, but General Mu didn't believe Han Yunxi anymore. He found several detoxification experts to examine Mu Qingwu, but the strange thing was that no one could diagnose what was wrong with him.
Helpless, General Mu still had to look for Han Yunxi. In any case, he was going to blame Han Yunxi for this matter.
"Impossible! The poison in his body has already been detoxified! "Han Yunxi's face was a bit pale. She absolutely didn't believe that she was mistaken!
Murong Wanru also understood what was going on. She hurriedly stood up. "Sister-in-law, when did you learn medical skills? How come I didn't know?"
Murong Wanru, why did she have to touch a sore spot?
Han Yunxi was too lazy to pay attention to her. She said very seriously, "General Mu, I can guarantee that the poison in his abdomen has already been detoxified. As for why he's unconscious and running a high fever, I didn't see anyone who couldn't diagnose it. I'll go with you."
"Humph, of course you'll go with me. Han Yunxi, I'm telling you, if Qingwu doesn't wake up, I'll take your life in exchange for his!" General Mu's rage soared to the sky.
Murong Wanru's face was full of terror. She hurriedly stepped forward to protect Han Yunxi behind her. She said angrily, "General Mu, it's just that someone saw my sister-in-law use the knife and didn't wake him up. This doesn't prove anything. Although my sister-in-law doesn't know medical skills, I believe she absolutely wouldn't act recklessly."
Sue … Murong white lotus, can you shut up?!
