Han Yunxi silently fainted in Baili Mingxiang's arms, and the detoxification system immediately stopped working.
This time, the fainting wasn't caused by the detoxification system. Han Yunxi was simply too exhausted.
On the morning of Baili Mingxiang's accident, she had pulled an all-nighter. Over the past five days, she had been traveling day and night with Long Fei Ye. Although she had taken a nap in Long Fei Ye's arms, she hadn't slept for long. With a life in her hands, she really couldn't sleep. Moreover, Long Fei Ye had been traveling so hard, so how could she sleep peacefully?
Her mind had been stretched taut these past few days, and she had neglected her exhaustion.
As soon as she relaxed, she couldn't hold on any longer.
At the door, Long Fei Ye faced the courtyard with his hands clasped behind his back. General Baili paced back and forth, both master and servant waiting.
After waiting for a while, there was still no movement inside. General Baili couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, we've already brought the medicine. There shouldn't be any major problems, right?"
General Baili really wanted His Highness Duke of Qin to go in and take a look. Esteemed wangfei would get angry if she was disturbed by others, but if she was disturbed by His Highness Duke of Qin, she probably wouldn't.
Long Fei Ye only grunted in response.
When Han Yunxi was saving people, he was basically invited out. He had never been there to watch.
General Baili wanted to say something, but hesitated. He could only pace back and forth again.
He waited and waited, but suddenly, a loud shout came from inside the room. "Someone! Someone come! "
This was Baili Mingxiang's voice! What's going on?
Before General Baili could react, Long Fei Ye had already pushed open the door and rushed in!
Baili Mingxiang had already sat up and was looking at the unconscious Han Yunxi on her lap. Her face was full of terror and she didn't know what to do.
When she saw His Highness Duke of Qin rushing over, Baili Mingxiang was even more terrified.
Long Fei Ye pulled Han Yunxi into his arms and asked angrily, "What's going on?"
When Baili Mingxiang saw His Highness Duke of Qin's icy face and blood-red eyes up close, he was so frightened that he didn't know what to do. His mouth opened, but no words came out.
She had just woken up, and her memories were stuck a few days ago. She didn't understand the situation at all.
Seeing Baili Mingxiang's reaction, Long Fei Ye's eyes flashed with impatience. He roared, "Baili Yuanlong, get a doctor!"
General Baili had just arrived at the door when he saw the scene in the room and was frightened. He thought that something had happened to his daughter, but he never thought that something had happened to the Princess Consort. Fortunately, the doctor was nearby and quickly came over.
The physician in the estate was already in awe of His Highness Duke of Qin. When he entered and saw His Highness Duke of Qin's cold and murderous face, his legs went weak. He took a few deep breaths before he dared to take his pulse.
The room was silent. Baili Mingxiang had already calmed down. Although she didn't know what had happened, she knew that esteemed wangfei must have come to save her.
After the physician took Han Yunxi's pulse and confirmed her condition, he finally relaxed. "Don't worry, Your Highness. Esteemed wangfei just fell asleep because she was too tired. She'll wake up when she's had enough sleep. She'll be fine after resting for a while."
Fortunately, it was a small matter. If it had been something serious, the physician was worried that he would have been kicked out. That was because His Highness Duke of Qin's expression was really, really ugly!
Long Fei Ye's thin lips were tightly pursed. Even the lines at the corners of his mouth were cold and solemn. He carried Han Yunxi and prepared to leave.
At this time, General Baili hurriedly said, "Mingxiang, hurry and thank His Highness and esteemed wangfei. If it weren't for His Highness and esteemed wangfei traveling day and night for five days and five nights to find medicine, your little life would've been long gone!"
Five days and five nights, traveling day and night?
His Highness also went?
So esteemed wangfei fainted from exhaustion because she was trying to save her? So His Highness Duke of Qin's bloodshot eyes were also because of her exhaustion?
Baili Mingxiang's heart tightened. Ignoring her weak body, she hurriedly got off the bed and knelt on the cold floor to kowtow. "Thank you, Your Highness Duke of Qin. Thank you, esteemed wangfei, for saving my life!"
Long Feiye didn't even look back as she knocked her head against the ground. Instead, he strode away like a shooting star.
As for whether Baili Mingxiang had taken the medicine and recovered, he didn't care.
He was already far away, but Baili Mingxiang was still kneeling on the ground. General Baili hurriedly helped her up and had the physician take a look.
After the physician's examination, he repeatedly expressed his amazement. "Imperial Physician Gu's medicine is indeed miraculous. Miss's body is fine, but she's still too weak. She needs to slowly recover."
General Baili was overjoyed. He rewarded the physician and had him withdraw.
Baili Mingxiang finally opened her mouth. "Father, His Highness, he …"
As a father, he knew best what his daughter was thinking. He told Baili Mingxiang everything that had happened over the past few days, including the matter of the Beauty's Blood.
"You're just disobedient. Esteemed wangfei told you to take the medicine slowly, but you just had to eat it all at once! Fortunately, esteemed wangfei was only exhausted. If something had happened to her, I'd like to see what you'd do! "General Baili reprimanded.
Baili Mingxiang lowered her head and silently accepted the criticism.
She hadn't eaten all of the poison on purpose. That day, when the poison had flared up, she'd been in so much pain that she'd lost all reason. She'd eaten all of the poison in one go. Afterwards, she didn't know what had happened.
Some pain couldn't be understood unless one experienced it personally. Thus, no matter how much she explained, it was useless. Others would only think she was being unreasonable.
"The Baili Clan's mission is to obey. Have you forgotten?" General Baili questioned loudly. Although he loved his daughter, the clan's mission was more important.
Baili Mingxiang raised her head, her eyes clear and resolute. "Daughter knows her wrongs. Father, please punish me."
General Baili exhaled. "Don't let your thoughts run wild. Be good and take care of your body. I'll send over a few servant girls and mama to serve you later."
Baili Mingxiang's eyes tightened as she quickly lowered her head. This was the first time her father had spoken to her like this in all these years.
General Baili rose to his feet and prepared to leave before he said, "Mingxiang, since I've saved your life, I should arrange your marriage for you as well."
Which daughter of a large clan had the right to decide their own marriage? No matter who they married, everything had to be done in the interest of the clan. Marrying a daughter-in-law was the same as marrying another clan's power. It was the same with marrying off a daughter.
General Baili's other daughters had all married into powerful and influential clans in Cloud Realm Continent, expanding the Baili Clan's sphere of influence.
Baili Mingxiang was the Baili Clan's youngest daughter and the one with the most suitors. As long as she was willing to marry, the Baili Clan would definitely be able to win over an equal number of allies.
Baili Mingxiang kept her head bowed and didn't answer General Baili. Marriage wasn't something that could be decided in a day or two, so General Baili was only reminding her first. Then he left.
At the Duke of Qin's estate, Long Fei Ye had summoned Gu Beiyue as soon as he returned.
Although Gu Beiyue was on his guard, only Gu Beiyue's medical skills earned his trust in the capital city.
With Gu Beiyue's medical skills, he didn't even need to take Han Yunxi's pulse to know what was wrong with her. Moreover, he didn't only take her pulse seriously, but also did a few small tests to ascertain that Han Yunxi was simply exhausted.
Knitting his brows, he said, "Your Highness, esteemed wangfei fainted from exhaustion. She's too tired."
"When will she wake up?" Long Fei Ye asked coldly.
"That's hard to say!" Gu Beiyue's expression was serious. "Your Highness, if she fainted from exhaustion, she'll wake up in a day or two at best. In severe cases …"
"What?" Long Fei Ye grew anxious.
Gu Beiyue withdrew and bowed with his hands clasped in front. "In severe cases, she'll never wake up!"
Slap!
There was a loud crash as Long Fei Ye slapped the table. The precious ebony tea table shattered into pieces on the floor.
Zhao mama and Su Xiaoyu were both frightened to death. They didn't dare to clean up the mess.
"What's her condition?" Long Fei Ye asked angrily.
"Your Highness, please calm your anger. Esteemed wangfei's condition isn't that serious yet. This official can't give you an exact time, but I can guarantee that she'll wake up within three days. I hope Your Highness can remind esteemed wangfei not to overwork herself in the future. This official will prescribe some nourishing herbs. When esteemed wangfei wakes up, she can drink them frequently. "Gu Beiyue hurriedly replied.
Long Fei Ye finally let out a big sigh of relief. The sound of his exhalation was especially loud in the silent room. Zhao mama couldn't help sneaking a glance at him. This was the first time she'd seen her master's emotions written all over his face!
Gu Beiyue wrote down a prescription on the spot. All of the herbs he wrote were very expensive and nourishing herbs. Many of them weren't even available in the imperial hospital. They had to go to Medicine City to buy them at a high price. Some of them were so expensive that they were the only ones in the world.
For example, there was a thousand year old snow lotus, a two thousand year old lingzhi, and a three year old codonopsis ginseng. Even if they were able to buy these herbs, they would be treasured. Who would be willing to eat them!
However, since Gu Beiyue had written them out, he believed that Long Fei Ye had the ability to find them for Han Yunxi to eat.
Actually, Gu Beiyue could determine the exact time Han Yunxi would wake up, but he exaggerated it on purpose. He didn't want Han Yunxi to tire herself out all day.
Besides Long Fei Ye, who else could control this woman?
Han Yunxi, does finding someone who can protect you better than me to stay by your side count as protecting you?
Gu Beiyue felt his heart ache at the sight of Han Yunxi's ashen white face. He was a little reluctant to part with her, but in the end he still bid farewell.
Long Fei Ye glanced at the prescription before handing it over to Chu Xifeng. "Hurry and find them. Find three portions for your lordship first!"
Chu Xifeng grew gloomy. They couldn't even find a single portion of the herbs here, but His Highness wanted to find three portions. And "find three portions first!"
Sobsob, he only begged esteemed wangfei to get better quickly!
"Your Highness, drink some water. Don't tire yourself out," Zhao mama carefully offered him a cup of warm water.
Long Fei Ye accepted it and waved a hand to dismiss them all.
Once Zhao mama and Su Xiaoyu had both left, Long Feiye's frosty face finally softened. He looked at Han Yunxi, his eyes filled with heartache that was so thick it couldn't be dispelled.
He gently stroked Han Yunxi's face and said helplessly, "Your lordship was careless and you ended up like this."
He was used to being alone and didn't need to worry about another person. But now he realized that he had to pay more attention to this woman.
Long Fei Ye's fingers brushed past Han Yunxi's dry lips before he immediately drank a mouthful of warm water. He slowly leaned closer and began to feed her mouth, but right at this moment …
