He said she didn't need to go?
Looking at Long Feiye's receding figure without looking back, Han Yunxi suddenly felt like she'd been abandoned. Her heart felt stifled and uncomfortable for no reason.
Long Feiye had asked her so many questions in the room, so she knew he minded and was angry.
She knew that the consequences would be severe if she didn't go with him now, but she didn't.
On one side was Gu Beiyue's life, while on the other was Long Fei Ye's feelings. No matter what, life was more important than feelings. She wasn't so emotional as to ignore Gu Beiyue's life.
Long Feiye's figure had already vanished from sight, but Han Yunxi was still staring at him. Nobody knew that she was the one who suffered the most after making such a choice.
Zhao mama was stunned for a long time before she recovered her wits and grabbed Han Yunxi by the hem of her robes. "Esteemed wangfei, His Highness isn't happy. His Highness is very unhappy!"
Zhao mama finally remembered esteemed wangfei's words. Didn't she want His Highness to be unhappy? She even said she'd keep Gu Beiyue here until he recovered.
If His Highness was unhappy, esteemed wangfei should be happy!
Zhao mama suddenly grew excited. "Esteemed wangfei, His Highness really isn't happy!"
But Han Yunxi was so depressed that she didn't hear what Zhao mama was saying.
At this moment, Chu Xifeng ran out of the room and asked, "Esteemed wangfei, can your method really save us from having to pull out the arrow?"
Han Yunxi recovered her wits and asked urgently, "What's the situation?"
Inside the room, Imperial Physician Huang had already started using needles. The arrow had already snapped, and Chu Xifeng could see black blood flowing out.
"Esteemed wangfei, answer my question first!" Chu Xifeng said urgently.
"Did the needles not go smoothly?" Han Yunxi was worried about the situation inside the room. After all, she'd run into a few accidents in her career as a detoxifier, all of which had happened while she was using needles.
"Everything's going smoothly. He's bleeding black blood!" Chu Xifeng's tone was filled with irritation.
Han Yunxi heaved a sigh of relief. "That's good. Everything went well. As long as the black blood is clean, the wound will be treated."
Chu Xifeng gave a start. For a moment, he didn't know what to say to his mistress!
When he heard the Princess Consort and doctor Huang's explanation, he did not believe that there was a way to cure the poison without pulling out the arrow. He never thought that it would work and it would take effect this quickly.
This was a scheme that his highness had painstakingly set up. It wasn't good for anyone to ruin it, but why did it have to be the Princess Consort?
Chu Xifeng couldn't imagine the expression on his master's face right now.
After a while, Chu Xifeng finally asked, "Esteemed wangfei, where's His Highness?"
Han Yunxi sighed softly and did not answer. She leaned against the wall and crossed her arms. Her expression was silent as she waited calmly.
If everything went smoothly, Imperial Physician Huang should be out in less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea.
Once Chu Xifeng left, only Gu Beiyue and Imperial Physician Huang were left in the room. Imperial Physician Huang had long put away his needles, while Gu Beiyue's abdomen was wrapped in a wide layer of white gauze. He was half leaning against a high pillow and tying his robes.
He seemed to be thin, but his chest was refined and hard, and it was faintly discernible from his half-exposed clothes. Coupled with his elegant and otherworldly face, he had an indescribable charm that caused one's imagination to run wild.
"Since you've already found her, why didn't you take her away?" Imperial Physician Huang asked in a low voice.
Although Imperial Physician Huang was Gu Beiyue's subordinate in the Imperial Physician Courtyard, he was actually Gu Beiyue's grandfather's sworn brother. In a way, he had watched Gu Beiyue grow up.
Gu Beiyue sighed softly without replying.
"The Duke of Qin must be suspecting you," Imperial Physician Huang said next.
"No, he must know something and wants to know more."
Gu Beiyue hadn't realized that Long Fei Ye was behind today's assassination either. After all, everything had been too realistic. He only had his suspicions in the end, until Long Fei Ye showed up. Then he was certain that both the assassination attempt and the arrows had come from Long Fei Ye.
"Then why aren't you leaving?" Imperial Physician Huang grew anxious.
Gu Beiyue looked towards the door for a long time before saying, "The Seven Noble Families are making more and more moves. It's safest for her to stay at the Duke of Qin's estate."
Sometimes, protection didn't mean personal protection. Letting go was also a form of protection.
Imperial Physician Huang was about to coax him when someone knocked on the door. "Imperial Physician Huang, are you done yet?"
It was none other than Han Yunxi herself. It'd been about the time it took to brew a cup of tea, so she should be done by now!
"Alright, alright, esteemed wangfei, come in! Everything went smoothly. "Imperial Physician Huang hurriedly shouted.
Everyone thought that Han Yunxi would push open the door and come in, but who knew that she would say, "It's good that everything went smoothly. I'll have to trouble Imperial Physician Huang to change the medicine again in four hours."
After she finished speaking, she quickly turned around and ran in the direction that Long Fei Ye had disappeared.
"Old Man thought that she had already left." Imperial Physician Huang didn't expect that even after Long Fei Ye had left, Han Yunxi would still be standing guard outside the door.
"I thought …" Gu Beiyue wanted to say something, but hesitated. Then he slowly closed his eyes.
Zhao mama chased after Han Yunxi all the way to Hibiscus Courtyard. It was unknown what she suddenly realized, but she tiptoed and her figure quickly disappeared into the flowers.
At this time, Han Yunxi was at the door of Long Fei Ye's sleeping quarters. She had asked the hidden guards, and they confirmed that Long Fei Ye was inside.
She knocked on the door, but unfortunately, there was no response.
"Your Highness! Your Highness! "
She shouted a few times, but there was no response.
She tried to push the door, but it was locked and she couldn't open it.
"Your Highness, I didn't do anything …"
She was about to explain, but who knew that Zhao mama would suddenly pop out from the bushes and wave at her.
Han Yunxi suspiciously walked over, "What is it?"
"His Highness is unhappy, unhappy!" Zhao mama emphasized again.
Han Yunxi was too lazy to pay attention to her. She wasn't an idiot. She had already seen that he was unhappy.
Just as she was about to leave, Zhao mama anxiously pulled her back. She lowered her voice and imitated Han Yunxi's tone that night. She emphasized again, "Esteemed Wangfei, His Highness, Unhappy, Unhappy!"
Han Yunxi gave a start before her eyes widened. She finally realized what was going on!
That's right, didn't she already want to make this guy unhappy? She hadn't done anything yet, but this guy was already unhappy.
So …
"Esteemed Wangfei, this old servant already said that His Highness has you in his heart. Look, he's overflowing with vinegar." Zhao mama was especially happy.
Han Yunxi was overjoyed!
She pursed her lips to prevent herself from smiling, but her heart was already overjoyed.
"Esteemed Wangfei, why don't you make His Highness Duke of Qin even more unhappy?" Zhao mama secretly instigated. With her master's temper, she had to fan the flames a bit more.
As long as you have the heart, everything will be fine!
Han Yunxi's eyes curved into two crescent moons from smiling. She returned to the main entrance and knocked again, "Your Highness, are you not in? If there's nothing important, I'll be going back. Imperial Physician Gu's condition isn't very stable yet. "
There was still no response. This time, Han Yunxi didn't wait any longer. She turned and left.
But just as she walked into the corridor, she saw Long Fei Ye standing in front of her with his back to her.
Actually, even Zhao mama didn't know how nervous she was at this moment. She was afraid that Long Fei Ye still wouldn't appear.
Fortunately, he came.
Han Yunxi deliberately played dumb, "Your Highness, why did you ask this concubine to come over?"
She couldn't see Long Fei Ye's expression. She could only hear his cold and emotionless voice, "Didn't I say that you didn't need to come over?"
"Oh." Han Yunxi walked to his side and said, "Then … it shouldn't be anything important, right?"
The entire corridor was silent. Long Fei Ye didn't speak for a long time. Han Yunxi waited patiently, her heart filled with all kinds of expectations. How would he answer?
But who knew that after waiting for a while, Long Fei Ye only softly replied, "Mn."
He actually turned around and walked away with his back to her.
This time, Han Yunxi couldn't even see his back. Her heart skipped a beat. She was clearly putting on an act to make him unhappy, but when he took it seriously, her heart actually hurt.
Long Feiye, did Zhao mama and I both see wrongly? You're not unhappy, but just cold and detached?
Han Yunxi's heart ached, but she wasn't afraid.
Since she chose to be brave, then she must be brave to the end!
Her lips curved into a fearless smile. She elegantly turned around and shouted, "Your Highness, if there's nothing important, this concubine will go to the guest room. Imperial Physician Gu's injuries are serious. This concubine has already applied for sick leave on his behalf. I plan to keep him here until he recovers."
Actually, if today's assassination hadn't happened, Han Yunxi would've waited for Gu Beiyue to wake up and rest for a day before sending him back to the Gu Estate.
She had always been straightforward and didn't like to drag things out. She also didn't like ambiguous relationships.
Gu Beiyue had always been respectful to her and had never been rude.
She saved Gu Beiyue completely out of friendship. Gu Beiyue had helped her a lot, and it was also because of her that the Empress Dowager had made things difficult for him. It was reasonable for her to keep Gu Beiyue here to recuperate.
If Zhao mama hadn't reminded her, she wouldn't have thought about the propriety of men and women touching.
Finally, Long Fei Ye stopped walking.
Coldly, he said, "Han Yunxi, it's not up to you to decide whether or not to keep people in the estate."
"Didn't Your Highness say that this concubine will be responsible for all matters in the estate?" Han Yunxi retorted.
Long Fei Ye turned around. His face was as cold as ice without a trace of emotion, "From now on, there's no need."
"Oh."
Han Yunxi didn't say anything else. In front of Long Fei Ye, she turned around and left.
That's right, she didn't even look back as she left, leaving Long Fei Ye standing alone in the hallway. He didn't move for a long time.
Zhao mama, who was hiding on the side, felt her heart jump out of her chest. These two masters … … one was more stubborn than the other!
She almost suspected that the princess consort wasn't acting, but rather … … she wasn't happy!
When Han Yunxi's figure completely disappeared, Long Fei Ye's fists clenched so tightly that they cracked. He had never been so angry in his life!
However, he still stood in place and didn't have any intention of chasing after Han Yunxi.
Han Yunxi returned to her room and immediately had the servants prepare a carriage to send Gu Beiyue back to the estate.
"Princess Consort, Imperial Physician Gu … … shouldn't be in a good condition right now?" Even Imperial Physician Huang could see that something was wrong with Han Yunxi, let alone Gu Beiyue.
"It's fine." Gu Beiyue covered his wound as he stood up. He was neither servile nor overbearing, "Princess Consort, this official still has important matters to take care of at home. I will definitely visit you in the future to thank you for saving my life."
