With Long Tianmo's warning, Mu Liuyue immediately froze in place. She felt so wronged that she wanted to rush over and quarrel with Long Tianmo.
What did she have to do to satisfy him?
These days, no matter how much she tried to curry favor with him, he never even looked her in the eye.
She originally wanted to join forces with Long Tianmo to deal with Han Yunxi, but who knew that Long Tianmo wouldn't even give her a chance.
She originally thought that marrying into the Eastern Palace would be a turning point in her life, but who knew that after being married for less than a month, she would be cast aside like an abandoned wife.
On the day of her wedding, Long Tianmo disappeared before night fell. It was supposed to be a beautiful wedding night, but she was left alone in an empty room, crying alone.
That was fine, but who knew that the empress dowager didn't send anyone to retrieve the white handkerchief the next day!
Thinking back to when Han Yunxi got married, she and her sisters had made a bet on whether or not Han Yunxi would have a white handkerchief. She had even waited with Princess Changping for Han Yunxi to be humiliated by the empress dowager!
Who knew that she would end up like this today? The empress dowager didn't even investigate her! The empress dowager clearly knew that Long Tianmo didn't touch her and tacitly agreed to it!
For a woman, what could be more humiliating than this?
If she had known earlier, she would have listened to her father. She wouldn't have used death to force her father to agree to this marriage!
The more Mu Liuyue thought about it, the more wronged she felt. Why was it that Han Yunxi, who had no background at all, was able to obtain His Highness Duke of Qin's favor?
The only thing she was thankful for now was that she had a powerful maternal family as her backing. Long Tianmo wouldn't really do anything to her!
However, Long Tianmo was still the heir apparent. One day, he would ascend the throne. At that time, even the general's estate wouldn't necessarily be able to contain him!
Thinking of this, Mu Liuyue felt even more insecure. She thought that her last bargaining chip was to have a child, a boy!
In the face of someone she didn't like and didn't like her, she had to find ways to beg for a child. Was this Mu Liuyue's retribution?
Mu Liuyue hated Han Yunxi all the time. Unfortunately, Han Yunxi had long forgotten her.
Cough cough … this wasn't because Han Yunxi was magnanimous and didn't hold a grudge, but because she had already taken her revenge!
At this time, Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye were in the same carriage, transporting more than 1.5 million dan of grain to the direction of the South Ning Prefecture, the disaster area.
The hidden guard brought over the banknotes that the Ministry of Revenue had sent to the Duke of Qin's Manor. Although there were only a few banknotes, each banknote had a large face value. There was a total of over seven million taels.
Long Fei Ye was reading the secret letter from the You Pavilion and didn't even look at the banknotes. He took them and casually handed them to Han Yunxi.
"Your Highness, chenqie shouldn't be a femme fatale," Han Yunxi said jokingly.
Long Fei Ye was focused on the secret letter and casually said, "This prince can afford to be a femme fatale."
Han Yunxi looked at his cold side profile and felt that there was no man more handsome than this guy in the world!
Since he had already said so, why should she refuse? She pretended to be serious and said seriously, "Then chenqie is relieved."
Han Yunxi took the banknotes and secretly handed them to the little hidden guard called Xu Donglin the next day, secretly giving him some instructions.
Although the accompanying hidden guards all took orders from Han Yunxi, Han Yunxi only interacted with this little hidden guard, Xu Donglin. Needless to say, this Xu Donglin was very reliable despite his young age.
Han Yunxi wondered if it was time for her to raise some personal guards of her own. It would be best if they were hidden guards who knew how to use poison. Of course, this matter would have to be carefully considered after the disaster relief.
They traveled all the way to the disaster area. In order to rush for time, they hurried every night and didn't stay in an inn.
The carriage was very large and had a warm bed to lie on. Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi each lay on one side with a short table in between.
During the day, Long Fei Ye was either reading secret letters or reading books. Han Yunxi would occasionally ask him about something, and Long Fei Ye would answer, but he was still focused on the secret letters and books when he answered.
Seeing this, Han Yunxi didn't disturb him anymore.
When she was bored, she would close her eyes and let her mind wander through the detox system. Fortunately, she'd brought everything with her this time.
She'd prepared a set of all the poisons that Baili Mingxiang had taken and spent her free time thinking of ways to neutralize them.
If all the poisons were mixed together, the detox system would only need a minute to create an antidote. Unfortunately, these poisons weren't just mixed together. They were mixed together in Baili Mingxiang's special body.
Han Yunxi took Baili Mingxiang's special blood and mixed it with her own normal blood, hoping to create something useful for research.
She also brought along the poison orchids she'd found in the Poison Sect's underground palace, but she didn't have time to think about them for now.
Ever since she'd left Long Fei Ye's Perplexing Butterfly Illusion to her, Long Fei Ye hadn't asked about it again. However, she was still very concerned about it. However, Baili Mingxiang's matter was more urgent than the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion.
Han Yunxi spent a lot of energy wandering through the detox system during the day, so she slept especially soundly at night. Often, she wouldn't wake until the sun was high up in the sky. When she woke up, she'd always find a thin blanket covering her. She was already used to it, so her first reaction was to turn to look at Long Fei Ye. She'd always see his serious profile as he read the scrolls.
Sometimes, Han Yunxi would wonder if she'd feel uncomfortable if she didn't see that familiar face when she woke up one day.
Today, Han Yunxi woke up very late again. She turned back out of habit and asked, "Your Highness, what are you reading?"
"A history book," Long Fei Ye replied indifferently.
"Let chenqie have a look if you're done. Chenqie is quite bored," Han Yunxi said lazily.
"Mm." Long Fei Ye only made a sound in response without raising his head. He really didn't like to be disturbed when he was reading scrolls. To be more precise, he didn't like to be disturbed no matter what he was doing.
Han Yunxi didn't ask any more questions. She got off the carriage to wash up and eat. At this time, Long Fei Ye changed the "Annals of the Seven Noble Families" in his hands to "General History of Cloud Realm".
Along the way, apart from paying attention to the You Pavilion, Long Fei Ye had been reading the "Annals of the Seven Noble Families". He looked through historical materials while sending people to investigate. It seemed like he wanted to find the orphans of the Seven Noble Families.
Meanwhile, Tang Li didn't see the black-robed man at the You Pavilion.
Long Fei Ye was increasingly puzzled by the identity of the black-robed man. For this reason, he specially sent people to investigate the Mu family in Medicine City and also sent people to find Gu. As for why he wanted to investigate the Mu family and Gu, only he knew.
Han Yunxi soon returned with news from one of her guards.
"Your Highness, I heard that Western Zhou's Chu Clan has prepared 10,000 Ferghana colts for Chu Qingge's dowry!"
Both Western Zhou and Northern Li were rich in warhorses. Their cavalry was their trump card.
Western Zhou's warhorses were Ferghana horses. They had thin heads and high necks, long limbs, and light steps. They were known for their speed and endurance!
Northern Li's warhorses were Mongol horses. They didn't fear the cold and had strong vitality. Moreover, they weren't startled on the battlefield and were incomparably fierce! In terms of overall battle strength, they were superior to Ferghana horses.
As for Tianning, they didn't have their own warhorses, so their cavalry wasn't strong. They were restricted by Western Zhou.
It had to be said that 10,000 Ferghana colts was a generous dowry. Even Long Feiye was surprised by the amount.
"What are Western Zhou's Chu Clan planning?" he asked.
Han Yunxi didn't know much about Western Zhou's Chu Clan, but she was clear that Chu Qingge didn't want to marry Emperor Tianhui!
While she looked forward to Chu Qingge's marriage alliance, she was also worried about the powerful connections behind the marriage alliance.
"Your Highness, could it be that Western Zhou's Chu Clan and Western Zhou's imperial clan …"
Han Yunxi didn't finish, but Long Fei Ye understood. Western Zhou's Chu Clan was one of the most powerful clans in Western Zhou. The Western Zhou emperor would definitely be on guard against them, so it was very possible that they were using Chu Qingge to seek outside help.
To put it bluntly, if Chu Qingge could become Tianning's empress, then no one in Western Zhou would be able to touch the Chu Clan.
"Emperor Tianhui will be overjoyed!" Han Yunxi said faintly. She even regretted pushing Chu Qingge into Emperor Tianhui's arms.
But Long Fei Ye only laughed coldly. "Not necessarily."
Great General Ning was in charge of Tianning's cavalry. Consort Ning, one of the four Noble Consorts, was his younger sister. If Chu Qingge wanted to fight for the position of empress, Consort Ning would be a formidable opponent!
The relationships here were very complicated.
After listening to Long Fei Ye's explanation, Han Yunxi felt the same way. Emperor Tianhui really would have a headache.
Han Yunxi had no idea how Chu Qingge's marriage alliance would affect the Duke of Qin's estate. In any case, it would happen in half a year's time.
It was better to take care of the matters at hand first. She took out a pile of medicine and gauze from her medical pouch and smiled. "Your Highness, I've changed your bandages."
Long Fei Ye's body had always been strong. With her meticulous care, the wound near his heart had healed very well. He no longer needed her to attend to his daily needs.
Although Long Fei Ye had said that she'd be waiting on him in the future, the two of them had tacitly agreed to treat it as a joke.
Long Fei Ye took off his robes while Han Yunxi sat by his side. She carefully used a pair of tweezers to remove the medicine from his wound, washed it clean with medicine, and rebandaged it.
"Is it completely healed?" Long Fei Ye asked mildly.
"Mm," Han Yunxi replied offhandedly without sparing him a glance.
"How long will it take for it to heal completely?" Long Fei Ye asked next. But Han Yunxi didn't look at him, much less answer him.
Long Fei Ye didn't like to be disturbed when he was reading his scrolls. Han Yunxi didn't like to be disturbed when she was changing his bandages either. She kept her head and eyes lowered in concentration.
Was there a second person in the world who could ignore Long Fei Ye like this?
After changing his bandages a few times, Long Fei Ye had already gotten used to it. He didn't ask any more questions, but stared at Han Yunxi to size her up. He looked at her delicate brows, her high nose, and her tender red lips as if he was examining a treasure in his heart.
Of course, when Han Yunxi was done and looked up, Long Fei Ye avoided her gaze.
They traveled like this for more than half a month. During this time, news of the Duke of Qin's embezzlement had spread to Northern Li and Western Zhou. Almost everyone thought that His Highness had absconded with the money!
On this day, the carriages stopped at the northern outskirts of South Ning County. Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi switched carriages empty-handed and slowly drove into South Ning County …
