Zhao mama said that if she continued to act like this, His Highness Duke of Qin would be angry.
Why would His Highness Duke of Qin be angry?
Han Yunxi's heart skipped a beat. If she said that she didn't understand what Zhao mama meant, then she was definitely being pretentious.
Women were always more sensitive than men when it came to matters of the heart, not to mention a woman as intelligent as Han Yunxi.
She knew exactly what Granny Zhao meant! But she wasn't sure.
She blinked her limpid eyes and stared at Zhao mama without saying a word.
Thinking that her mistress didn't understand, Zhao mama anxiously sighed and tried to persuade her, "Esteemed Wangfei, after all, men and women shouldn't touch each other. Moreover, there's a difference in status. His Highness Duke of Qin isn't in the estate, and you left a grown man in the estate for so many days and even personally took care of him. This isn't appropriate! If this matter were to spread, it would damage Imperial Physician Gu's, your, and His Highness's reputation! "
Unexpectedly, Han Yunxi looked disappointed. "That's it?"
So that's what Zhao mama meant. She thought it was …
Zhao mama was stunned. "This is already very serious. What else do you want?"
Han Yunxi's hands tugged at the hem of her clothes as she muttered, "I thought he would be angry because …"
"Because he minds!" Zhao mama was defeated by her mistress. How could such a smart person be so muddle-headed when it came to matters of the heart?
Han Yunxi's eyes brightened when she heard this. So Zhao mama's meaning was exactly as she had thought.
She looked at Zhao mama and stared and stared. She didn't know what to think, but she suddenly smiled.
"Esteemed Wangfei, are … are you alright?" Zhao mama was truly frightened.
Han Yunxi burst into laughter. "I'm fine! Imperial Physician Gu will stay in the estate to recuperate. I'll let him go when he's fully recovered. "
After she finished speaking, she walked around Zhao mama, who was blocking her way, and cheerfully walked towards the guest rooms.
"What's wrong with her? What's going on? "
Zhao mama was baffled and hurriedly chased after her. "Esteemed Wangfei, you … why don't you understand? If His Highness Duke of Qin comes back, he'll definitely be unhappy! "
Han Yunxi turned to look at her and gave her an especially bright and beautiful smile. It was so bright that it could illuminate the pitch-black Duke of Qin's Estate. She said, "Zhao mama, this time, I want him to be unhappy!"
Long Feiye, if there's still a lot of distance between us, will we get closer again this time?
Zhao mama stood rooted to the ground, unable to regain her senses for a long time. She always knew that the Princess Consort was bold, but she never thought that she would be this brave!
Boldness and bravery were two different concepts.
Aside from the shock and surprise, Granny Zhao liked this mistress even more. She wasn't pretentious and was so natural and unrestrained that she was so cute!
"Esteemed Wangfei, wait for this old servant. This old servant will help you!" Granny Zhao was overjoyed and hurriedly chased after her.
Chu Xifeng's mouth twitched at the words. Should he tell His Highness Duke of Qin?
It didn't seem to be that good! Moreover, how was he supposed to tell His Highness Duke of Qin?
After thinking it over, Chu Xifeng decided to stay silent. He couldn't imagine what His Highness Duke of Qin's expression would look like if he told him about such matters of the heart.
Abruptly, Zhao mama turned back and warned, "Little Chu, watch your mouth!"
Chu Xifeng rolled his eyes. "I didn't hear a thing. You guys should pray for yourselves!"
Han Yunxi hurried to the guest room, only to see Lil Thing feeding Gu Beiyue … blood!
Lil Thing had scratched its own paw and was dripping blood to feed Gu Beiyue!
Frightened, Han Yunxi rushed over. "Lil Thing! What are you doing? "
Lil Thing gave her a fright as well. It quickly extended its bloody paw towards Han Yunxi and blinked its large eyes, as if to say, Mama Yunxi, check it. There's no poison!
Lil Thing was only the size of a palm, so how big could its paw be? There was a large gash in its paw, from which fresh blood poured out!
Last time, Han Yunxi had been very careful with her knife when she took the antidote's blood. Heaven knows how this little beast had scratched itself.
Han Yunxi's heart ached at the sight, her heart filled with disgust.
Seeing Mama Yunxi's unhappy expression, Lil Thing kept feeding Gu Beiyue while squeaking. It seemed to be saying, Mama Yunxi, don't worry. As long as the gentleman drinks my blood, he'll be fine. I've eaten so many good things, my blood's very nutritious.
Ever since Mama Yunxi had taken its blood for the antidote, it hadn't fully recovered. Its blood couldn't cure the poison, and the poison in its fangs wasn't very strong, but its blood was still very nutritious. It had all sorts of benefits for the gentleman's weak body!
It had long wanted to feed its blood to the gentleman, but never found a chance.
Han Yunxi's expression was still grave as she watched.
Lil Thing had no idea that its beloved Mama Yunxi was feeling sorry for it. It kept squeaking as if comforting her. "It's fine, the gentleman will be fine very soon."
In the end, Han Yunxi smiled helplessly before Lil Thing stopped squeaking.
Han Yunxi sat on one side, gently stroking Lil Thing's soft fur with a smile. "Little beast! Why are you so good to Gu Beiyue? "
Lil Thing loved Mama Yunxi's touch the most. Gradually, as it fed Gu Beiyue blood, its eyes narrowed into slits as it enjoyed it.
Mama Yunxi, it's so comfortable. But … but why am I so dizzy?
"Squeak squeak …"
Lil Thing squeaked twice before slowly collapsing onto Gu Beiyue's body. It's so tired, it really wants to sleep!
Mama Yunxi, Lil Thing wants to sleep in the gentleman's arms, can I?
Han Yunxi quickly scooped Lil Thing up, only to see its eyes shut as it fainted. It seemed much lighter than before, not as heavy as before.
Lil Thing must have lost too much blood. She vaguely remembered Gu Beiyue saying that the little Gu Shu needed a long period of recovery after taking its blood for the antidote. Fortunately, Lil Thing couldn't die, or else Han Yunxi wouldn't know what would happen.
Han Yunxi carefully treated Lil Thing's wounds before placing it in a small chest filled with all sorts of poisons and tonics. She didn't know how long it'd take for Lil Thing to wake up, but as soon as it did, it could start eating tonics.
After taking care of Lil Thing, Han Yunxi remained by Gu Beiyue's bedside, with Zhao mama and Chu Xifeng by her side.
Zhao mama was in a much better mood this time. She dearly wished that His Highness Duke of Qin would hurry back!
Gu Beiyue lay there quietly. Thanks to Lil Thing's blood, his complexion was much better than before. In fact, he looked even better than before his accident.
Currently, he was in a daze, half-awake state.
He felt like he was dreaming, but also like he'd returned to his childhood. His parents and grandfather were still alive then.
Every day, he and his father would soak in the tub of medicine to nourish their bodies and drink lots and lots of bitter medicine.
Just like his father, his body had been weak from birth and he'd almost died.
His mother was very gentle and often stroked his head to comfort him. "Beiyue, don't be afraid! You won't die. Father and mother will always be by your side. "
But one day, his father fell asleep in the tub of medicine and never woke up again. His mother was still as gentle as ever, stroking his head to comfort him. "Beiyue, don't be afraid. Grandfather will always be by your side."
That day, his mother passed away with his father.
His grandfather was as gentle as his father and mother, telling him, "Beiyue, you're the only one left. You can't die."
From that day onwards, his grandfather searched for all sorts of famous and wondrous medicines and forcefully used them to prop up his sickly body.
It had been a very, very long time since he'd been so weak, just like how he fainted countless times when he was young. He really, really wanted to just fall asleep like this, but there was always a voice by his ear. "Beiyue, you're the only one left. You can't die …"
In his daze, Gu Beiyue seemed to see his parents' gentle and loving faces again. It was as if he'd returned to his childhood when he didn't know anything and didn't know anything.
But when he slowly opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the stern and serious little face that had captivated him the most.
He was slightly taken aback, but he smiled very soon. He hid away all the warmth and sorrow from his dream, leaving no trace behind.
"Esteemed wangfei, did you save me?"
Han Yunxi knew Gu Beiyue would wake up, but she never thought it would be so soon. She nodded in surprise and joy. "Yep, yep. It's good that you can wake up!"
"That's fantastic, that's fantastic!" Granny Zhao was overjoyed as well. She went to pour some water in a hurry.
Han Yunxi took Gu Beiyue's pulse seriously. Only when she discovered that his pulse was basically normal did she stop worrying.
"Esteemed wangfei must have used some wondrous medicine on me?"
Gu Beiyue knew his own body the best. There was a warm energy in his body that slowly seeped into his meridians. It was extremely beneficial to the recovery of his vitality. If it were not for the effects of this energy, he probably would have slept for a few more hours.
"The little thing's blood," Han Yunxi drew close and leaned over Gu Beiyue, whispering into his ear.
Although Han Yunxi left very soon, granny Zhao was stunned!
Esteemed wangfei, even if you want to make his highness unhappy, you can't get so close! Something big will happen!
Granny Zhao hurried forward with water. She was about to insert herself between Han Yunxi and Gu Beiyue when Chu Xifeng suddenly shouted, "Who's there? Come out!"
At the same time, multiple black-robed assassins rushed in from the east and west windows, all of them wielding long swords. They headed straight for Han Yunxi and Gu Beiyue.
"Ah … someone come, there's an assassin! Assassins! "
Granny Zhao shouted as she stood in front of Han Yunxi to protect her. There were quite a few assassins in this group, each of them a one-in-a-hundred expert. Chu Xifeng was fighting one against many and couldn't hold his own after a few moves.
Fortunately, the Duke of Qin's guards quickly showed up, but even they couldn't stop the assassins.
Anyone who could get past the estate's layers of defenses to get here couldn't be simple.
Abruptly, a sharp sword flew towards Zhao mama's direction. Gu Beiyue could see it clearly from his bed!
He cried out in alarm, "Granny Zhao, esteemed wangfei, watch out!"
"Little Chu!" Granny Zhao cried out in fright, but Chu Xifeng was currently surrounded by three assassins. None of the other guards had time to escape either.
Han Yunxi didn't bat an eyelid. Just as the sword was about to reach her, she shot out a hidden needle.
But …
