Lil Thing didn't dare to disturb Mama Yunxi anymore. It sat quietly on one side and watched as Mama Yunxi inserted each needle.
After a long, long time, Mama Yunxi was finally done, but the gentleman still didn't wake up.
Lil Thing wiped its face with its meaty paws, wiping away its tears before jumping off the bed and disappearing like a wisp of smoke.
Soon enough, it returned with a large bag of medicinal ingredients and poured them all out by the gentleman's side.
Han Yunxi was currently resting by the bed, frightened by Lil Thing's actions. Lil Thing actually hid so many precious medicinal ingredients, including the extremely rare Serpent Fruit!
Serpent Fruit was one of the ingredients in the prescription to treat Mute Granny's Broomcorn Millet Poison!
Judging by the environment in which it grew, only three fruits could be found in all of Cloud Realm Continent. She never expected Lil Thing to have one hidden away.
Han Yunxi was shocked, but found it normal. After all, Lil Thing had lived for so many years that it might have hidden this Serpent Fruit a long time ago.
The exhausted Han Yunxi reached out to pick up the Serpent Fruit. Seeing this, Lil Thing immediately stood up with wide eyes.
"Lil Thing, your pile of things can't save Gu Beiyue. We can only wait until he recovers before we give him something to nourish his body, understand? This Serpent Fruit can't nourish the body, but it can save others. I'll take it first, "Han Yunxi explained gently, a completely different person from before.
She was in a rush just then and hated to be disturbed while she was using needles.
Lil Thing didn't blame Mama Yunxi, but it didn't understand what she meant. It thought the Serpent Fruit could save the gentleman.
When it saw Mama Yunxi put the Serpent Fruit in her sleeve, it grew unhappy.
It jumped onto Han Yunxi's arm and scratched with all its might.
Han Yunxi had no choice but to take out the Serpent Fruit again and shake her head at Gu Beiyue. Lil Thing finally understood and resentfully jumped off the bed to curl up by Gu Beiyue's side.
"Zhao mama, take care of the medicinal ingredients," Han Yunxi instructed.
Granny Zhao picked up all the treasures, but the little thing didn't even look at them. It curled up beside Gu Beiyue's big hand and rubbed its little head against the back of his hand before burying itself again.
It was so sad that it couldn't see Young Master's smile.
Han Yunxi watched and frowned helplessly. Why did this little thing hit it off so well with Gu Beiyue? Since the first time they met, he was already unafraid of strangers.
"Little Thing, don't worry. His life won't be in danger. He needs time to recover," Han Yunxi said calmly.
Gu Beiyue's injuries were too severe. Not only did he need power, he also needed sleep. Perhaps fainting was a good thing for him, but he needed to replenish his food and water.
"Esteemed Wangfei, the medicine is cold. Let this old servant feed him." Granny Zhao said in a low voice, her heart heavy.
At this moment, Chu Xifeng entered. "Esteemed wangfei, Gui mama's throwing a tantrum."
Mother Gui had already waited for almost two hours.
"Let her wait," Han Yunxi said Coldly.
Back in the palace, the empress dowager hadn't been in a rush. Now here, she wasn't.
None of His Highness Duke of Qin's subordinates were afraid of trouble. Chu Xifeng grinned. "Alright!"
He was about to leave when Granny Zhao called him over. "Come and help, help him up."
Only she and esteemed wangfei were in the room, so Granny Zhao was worried that esteemed wangfei would do something improper again.
Fortunately, Mother Gui had come out late from the empress dowager's palace. Otherwise, Heaven knows how the rumors would spread.
Chu Xifeng understood with a single glance from Granny Zhao and sent a pageboy to deal with Mother Gui.
Gu Beiyue was in a severe coma, so it was difficult to feed him medicine. It took Granny Zhao and Chu Xifeng a long time to force a few mouthfuls into his mouth.
Han Yunxi had finally calmed down, but grew anxious again. "I'll do it!"
She reached for the medicine in Granny Zhao's hands, but the latter quickly dodged. "Esteemed wangfei, calm down, calm down!"
"You're so stupid! Give it to me and I'll feed him!" Han Yunxi urged.
Granny Zhao didn't dare. "Esteemed wangfei, all patients are like this. This old servant has experience, so let this old servant do it. "
"What nonsense are you spouting? How much have you only fed him after half a day? "Han Yunxi fumed.
Unexpectedly, Lil Thing suddenly jumped onto Granny Zhao's arm and sucked up the entire bowl of medicine.
All three of them were stunned. What was Lil Thing doing?
They watched as Lil Thing jumped onto Gu Beiyue's body and bent down to feed him.
Lil Thing fed him very, very slowly, but not a drop of medicine came out. Han Yunxi and the rest were stunned by the sight. They never expected Lil Thing to have such skills.
By the time Lil Thing finished feeding him the medicine, an hour had already passed. Its head was almost numb, but when it saw that the young master's complexion had recovered a little, it was extremely happy. It jumped onto Zhao mama's arm, wanting more medicine.
"Granny Zhao, quick, pour some warm water and instruct the kitchens to boil some rice soup." Han Yunxi hurriedly ordered.
Gu Beiyue needed medicine and food. At this time, he could only drink some rice soup. Eating too much or eating anything nutritious would be counterproductive.
Granny Zhao immediately left, but Lil Thing foolishly followed her to the door before realizing that something was wrong. It immediately turned back.
Why did it follow her? It had to guard the gentleman!
Just like that, they all guarded Gu Beiyue, leaving Granny Gui hanging in the guest hall. Imperial Physician Chen was also kneeling in the guest hall.
The Empress Dowager was waiting in the palace and had sent several people to urge them, but they were all rejected by Han Yunxi with one reason.
Han Yunxi said, "Go back and report to Esteemed Empress Dowager that His Highness has the Medicine Fan. This concubine can't find it and will have to wait for His Highness to return."
In reality, Han Yunxi had brought the Medicine Fan with her when she entered the palace. At this time, the Medicine Fan was placed in Gu Beiyue's guest room.
The Empress Dowager was so angry that she smashed things in the palace. If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have let Han Yunxi go back. But how could there be so many 'earlier's in this world?
She could only have Granny Gui wait.
Granny Gui waited until night fell, and Han Yunxi finally showed her face.
Granny Gui anxiously asked, "Esteemed Wangfei, it's already so late. Why isn't His Highness back yet?"
Han Yunxi had an innocent expression, "His Highness went on a long trip and will only be back in a few days. Didn't I tell you?"
Granny Gui had been waiting for an entire day and had a belly full of anger. Hearing this, she flew into a rage. She couldn't hold back for a moment, "Esteemed Wangfei, you're doing this on purpose!"
"Impudent!" Han Yunxi coldly said, "You dare to speak to this Wangfei like this?"
These words sounded very familiar to Granny Gui. It seemed that the Empress Dowager had said the same thing to Han Yunxi in the Heavenly Palace.
Granny Gui immediately regretted it.
It was a pity that her reaction was too late.
"Someone come, drag this audacious servant out and punish her with fifty paddles!" Han Yunxi coldly said.
Before beating a dog, one had to look at its owner. Before starting the Empress Dowager's nightmare, Han Yunxi wanted to slap her old face first!
"Esteemed Wangfei, please spare me! Esteemed Wangfei, this servant was wrong! "
"Esteemed Wangfei, this servant doesn't dare anymore! I beg you to spare this servant just this once! "
… …
Granny Gui shouted as she was dragged out. Her pleas didn't work, so she gave a warning.
"Qin Wangfei, this old servant has served the Empress Dowager for over thirty years. If you dare to touch a single hair on this old servant's head …"
Before she could finish speaking, the manservant's paddle came down and Granny Gui's clamor turned into a blood-curdling scream. "Ah …"
Imperial Physician Chen, who was kneeling in the room, trembled in fear when he heard this and didn't dare to make a sound.
Granny Gui was beaten until she was half dead. Han Yunxi threw her and Imperial Physician Chen out of the door.
By the next day, news of the incident had spread throughout the capital city.
Just like last time when the Duke of Qin had punished the emperor's most favored servant, Eunuch Xue, the news spread like wildfire. Although it didn't have as much influence as Eunuch Xue's case, it at least made people realize that Qin Wangfei wasn't someone to be trifled with.
When news reached Long Fei Ye's ears at the distant Tang Clan, he nodded in satisfaction and said, "Well beaten."
Of course, he secretly sent someone to tell Chu Xifeng to keep an eye on Gu Beiyue!
The Empress Dowager was so angry that she almost fainted. She had to take three heart pills in a row before she recovered.
She wanted nothing more than to tear Han Yunxi to shreds, but Han Yunxi had a good reason for beating people up without leaving any evidence behind.
The empress dowager waited for three days.
Because of this, her insomnia worsened. Normally, she'd fall asleep in the second half of the night, but these three days, she couldn't sleep until morning.
She was utterly exhausted, but couldn't fall asleep. The more she lay, the more her head hurt. When she got up, she was listless and miserable.
Finally, on the fourth day, she couldn't take it anymore. "Someone come, prepare a sedan chair. I'm going to the Duke of Qin's estate!"
Hateful Han Yunxi. If I don't teach her a lesson, will she really think the empress dowager is so easy to provoke?
But just as the empress dowager was about to leave, Han Yunxi showed up.
She was only trying to anger the empress dowager a little. How could she really wait until Long Fei Ye returned before taking out the Medicine Fan?
Everything had to be done in moderation, just like tormenting this old thing. She had to keep her hanging without completely provoking her.
Of course, the most important thing was that if she didn't give her the Medicine Fan, how could she start her nightmares?
As soon as she heard the eunuch's report, the empress dowager immediately went back to her bed and straightened out her clothes. She also adjusted her emotions, looking as calm and composed as ever.
She was rather surprised by Han Yunxi's arrival, but felt that it made sense. After all, she was the empress dowager, while Han Yunxi was only a Princess Consort.
"Heh, she finally knows that she's coming! Aijia will be waiting! "
As soon as the empress dowager finished speaking, Han Yunxi walked in. She was as calm and composed as usual, natural and unrestrained.
"This concubine pays respects to Your Highness the Empress Dowager. Greetings to Your Highness the Empress Dowager."
"Quickly rise." The empress dowager smiled kindly.
Regardless of age, women competed in ruthlessness, refinement, and patience.
In this case, the one who held her ground to the end would win.
As soon as Han Yunxi rose, the empress dowager had her sit down. "Aijia thought that you would only come to see Aijia after the Duke of Qin returned!"
"How could that be?" Han Yunxi smiled faintly. "Is Your Highness the Empress Dowager feeling better?"
Weren't these words poking at the empress dowager's sore spot?
The empress dowager's heart burned with anger, but she still maintained a pleasant expression. "Much better."
"Did you sleep well?" Han Yunxi looked concerned.
The empress dowager's hands clenched into fists within her sleeves, but her expression was still amiable. "Much better than a few days ago."
Han Yunxi was very satisfied. "Then that's good. Last night, when I was straightening out His Highness's clothes, I saw something. Esteemed Empress Dowager, can you guess what it is? "
As Han Yunxi spoke, Zhao mama walked forward and presented an object wrapped in a red envelope.
The empress dowager knew that Han Yunxi had come to deliver something, but she still couldn't help but feel moved when the object she'd been waiting for was right in front of her eyes. As the empress dowager, she was still human!
"This …" the empress dowager was moved.
"Esteemed Empress Dowager, take a look," Han Yunxi was still smiling.
Impatient, the empress dowager lifted the red cloth …
