Han Yunxi was wondering why Long Fei Ye was suddenly concerned about Gu Beiyue, but Long Fei Ye didn't answer her question. Instead, he asked, "Does Gu Beiyue have a hometown?"
Han Yunxi shook her head. "I'm not sure."
Han Yunxi had always thought she understood Gu Beiyue well, but now that she thought about it, she realized she didn't know as much about Gu Beiyue as she'd imagined.
She only knew that Gu Beiyue's grandfather was the previous head of the Imperial Physician Courtyard in Tianning Country. He was also one of the directors of Medical City and had a great reputation in the city. Later on, when he became the head of the Imperial Physician Courtyard in Tianning Country, he brought Gu Beiyue with him. After Grandfather Gu passed away, Gu Beiyue inherited his mantle and became the youngest head of the Imperial Physician Courtyard in Tianning Country.
"Does he still have people in his hometown?" Long Fei Ye asked again.
Han Yunxi still shook her head. "I've never heard him mention his parents, so I don't know where his hometown is."
"Does he have brothers or sisters?" Long Fei Ye asked again.
Han Yunxi still didn't know. She looked suspiciously at Long Fei Ye. "Your Highness, why are you suddenly asking about these things?"
"The emperor took a few days off and didn't attend court. I originally thought Gu Beiyue would be the one to serve him," Long Fei Ye explained mildly.
This explanation made everything seem natural and not so deliberate. But as smart as Han Yunxi was, she still smelled the scent of "suspicion" and even a bit of "hostility."
If Long Fei Ye was still jealous of what happened last time, Han Yunxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. But if Long Fei Ye was objectively suspecting Gu Beiyue's origins, then this was a question worth pondering.
"The little thing is still with him. He won't kidnap the little thing and not come back, right?" Han Yunxi joked.
"You gave the Poison Beast to him?" Long Fei Ye was very surprised.
If the little thing saw Long Fei Ye's current expression, it would probably cry.
When it was around, it was thrown out of the window every day. Now that it was gone, His Highness Duke of Qin seemed unhappy.
Sigh, this man is so hard to please.
"Your Highness, Imperial Physician Gu Beiyue is still trustworthy." Han Yunxi took the opportunity to speak up for Gu Beiyue half-jokingly.
Long Fei Ye did not say much. He only said indifferently, "Remove the gauze."
Under Han Yunxi's more than a month of meticulous care, Long Fei Ye's wound had basically healed.
Han Yunxi did not say much. She took out a small tool and disinfectant. Just as she was about to cut open the gauze, Long Fei Ye casually said, "This prince thought that it would take at least two months for it to heal. Gu Beiyue is truly worthy of being the Head Imperial Physician."
"That is the Imperial Physician's blessing."
Han Yunxi looked calm, but her heart was a bit chaotic. She originally thought that Long Fei Ye did not understand medicine and would not suspect so much. She didn't expect that in the end, she couldn't escape his eyes.
The wound on Long Fei Ye's chest should have taken several months to heal. Now, it had basically healed in a little more than a month. Moreover, during this month, Long Fei Ye often did not listen to warnings and acted recklessly.
Long Fei Ye's body had a good foundation and strong self-healing ability. The effectiveness of the medicine she had on hand was mostly a factor. However, the most important factor was that Long Fei Ye was treated by Gu Beiyue!
Gu Beiyue said that if Long Fei Ye did not wake up that night, he might become a vegetable. However, reality proved that Long Fei Ye could wake up a few days later.
Gu Beiyue said that Long Fei Ye's wound had to be bandaged every day for a month. He could not act recklessly and could not use his martial arts. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. However, Long Fei Ye moved around a lot during this month, but he was still fine.
If the person who treated Long Fei Ye was not Gu Beiyue, he would definitely be treated as a quack doctor. However, the person who treated Long Fei Ye was Gu Beiyue himself!
Either Long Fei Ye's body was too special, or Gu Beiyue's medical skills were extremely high. Now, it seemed that it was the latter.
Therefore, Gu Beiyue actually deliberately concealed his medical skills.
Han Yunxi quickly came back to her senses and continued what she was doing. She cut open the gauze and unraveled it. Even though she knew that the wound had already healed, she was still very careful. She was afraid that she would hurt Long Fei Ye.
"Should this prince send someone to prepare a generous gift and send it to Imperial Physician Gu's hometown to thank him for saving my life?" Long Fei Ye suddenly said.
At this time, Han Yunxi could no longer remain calm.
It had always been other people who sent generous gifts to His Highness Duke of Qin. His Highness Duke of Qin had never sent anyone a generous gift before (if the bracelet didn't count).
If the Duke of Qin wanted to send Gu Beiyue a generous gift, it wouldn't be considered a gift. It would be more like a reward. There would be procedures to go through.
Once the cumbersome reward process began, they would first have to go to the Imperial Physician Hospital to find out the whereabouts of Imperial Physician Gu's hometown. Then, they would have to find Gu Beiyue.
If they couldn't find Gu Beiyue, not sending the reward was a small matter. However, lying to the monarch and asking for sick leave was a big matter!
Long Fei Ye, this rascal, was clearly testing Gu Beiyue!
"Your Highness, how could a mere generous gift be enough to repay the debt of saving your life?"
As soon as Han Yunxi finished speaking, Long Fei Ye raised his brows and looked over. She hurriedly added, "Gu Beiyue is an imperial physician. Treating Your Highness is part of his duty. There's no debt of gratitude to speak of. He should be thanking the heavens and earth that he didn't cause Your Highness to fall ill. As for the reward, this concubine thinks it's better to forget about it. "
Han Yunxi's words were so bureaucratic and beautiful, but the actual meaning was, "Long Fei Ye, ah, Long Fei Ye, although Gu Beiyue is suspicious, he didn't try to kill you when your life was in danger. At the very least, he's not your enemy. You should spare him whenever possible!"
Long Fei Ye looked at Han Yunxi for a long time before saying, "You haven't improved, but your mouth has improved a lot."
"Your Highness is too kind."
Han Yunxi didn't dare to look at Long Fei Ye. She lowered her head and pretended to be very serious as she continued to treat the wound.
Long Fei Ye didn't have the heart to send the 'generous gift'. As for whether he continued to investigate Gu Beiyue behind the scenes, only he knew.
After calming down, Long Fei Ye relaxed and lay down, closing his eyes.
Han Yunxi's attention quickly focused on Long Fei Ye's wound. In front of Long Fei Ye's matter, no matter who it was, they couldn't easily disturb her heart and steal her attention.
It was quiet inside the house, and it was also quiet outside. The night was cold and the north wind was gradually getting stronger.
The white-clothed man stood outside the unlatched window. There was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, as if no one and nothing could ever break this Ning Jing that came from the depths of his heart.
Seeing that Han Yunxi had completely removed the gauze, he seemed to have no interest in the recovery of the wound. He turned his head and quietly disappeared into the night.
The gauze on Long Fei Ye's wound was completely removed. Because of a month of bandaging, the large patch of skin over his heart was much paler. There were bits and pieces of greenish-black medicine residue scattered over it.
There was a scar that was more than an inch long near his heart. It looked somewhat sinister under the pale skin.
The scar was a memory that the body left for its owner.
Han Yunxi looked at the scar and recalled everything that had happened in the You Prison. Then, she looked at Long Fei Ye's handsome face that was as cold and silent as ever. Her heart still felt afraid.
Long Fei Ye, thank goodness … thank goodness you're still alive in this world.
When nothing happened, Long Fei Ye opened his eyes. "What's wrong?"
"It's, it's nothing. I'm just letting the wound breathe."
As Han Yunxi explained, she took care of the dregs of the medicine and disinfected them. Then everything was settled.
She hadn't even put on her clothes when Chu Xifeng rushed in. "Your Highness, Your Highness!"
Chu Xifeng was holding a secret missive in his hands, as if he had something urgent to discuss.
But Long Fei Ye didn't panic. He didn't say a word, but waved a hand to indicate that he should withdraw.
Chu Xifeng saw the scene on the bed and knew that esteemed wangfei was treating his master's wounds. Still, he only coughed twice before withdrawing from the room.
It made Han Yunxi feel like she'd been caught in a thief's trap.
Long Fei Ye was calm and said lazily, "Help me change my clothes." Then he got off the bed and spread his arms.
His wound was already healed, but he still needed someone to help him?
It had to be said that Han Yunxi had no ambition at all. She didn't fuss over the matter, but secretly rejoiced.
She didn't laugh out loud, but it was written all over her face.
She took out Long Feiye's clean, pure white undergarments and loose, soft purple robes and helped him put them on. Although she hadn't had many chances to change his clothes in the past month, she still had plenty of practice, so she was quite experienced at it. Dressing him, arranging his collar, cuffs, belt, and jade pendants were all done in two or three moves.
If her second skill apart from poison was to help this guy change his clothes, would she be despised by some people?
But Han Yunxi was happy and willing to do so! Who cared what others said, as long as she was happy.
She wouldn't admit to being a masculine woman, nor would she admit to being a little woman. She was herself, Han Yunxi!
Once she was dressed, Han Yunxi mimicked the servant girls and bowed respectfully. "Your Highness, may I summon Guard Chu now?"
Long Fei Ye gave a start, but didn't say anything. Instead, he smoothed out her bangs and walked out himself.
Han Yunxi absolutely adored his actions. She rubbed her own face and tidied herself up before following him out.
"Your Highness, there's news from the capital. Qian Rong and the movers in the storehouses can all prove that the grain we bought came from the imperial uncle's estate," Chu Xifeng had brought good news.
All of Tianning was praising Long Fei Ye's glorious achievements while discussing where he'd found so much grain.
Naturally, he had to give everyone an explanation.
Of course, he wouldn't give the answer himself, but let the imperial uncle do it.
"Is there anything else Official Yu hasn't said?" Long Fei Ye asked.
Han Yunxi replied with two words. "Last words."
Chu Xifeng almost burst out laughing. Yesterday, he'd gone to visit Official Yu in the provincial guard's prison cells. Official Yu was the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, second only to the minister of revenue. He held great power over the finances and was notoriously difficult to deal with in court. He had no idea how esteemed wangfei had tormented him, but the man was completely docile. Even when he saw a guard like Chu Xifeng, he was respectful and answered all of Chu Xifeng's questions.
Most miraculously, Official Yu didn't have a single injury on his body. It was impossible to tell that he'd been tortured into confessing.
