Baili Mingxiang's here!
"I won't see her."
Long Fei Ye refused. He wouldn't allow anyone to see Han Yunxi now. The woman needed to rest and couldn't be disturbed.
"Your Highness, she's here to see chenqie," Han Yunxi reminded him faintly.
Long Fei Ye ignored her and said to Zhao mama in his Cold Voice, "Wangfei needs to rest, so I won't see her."
Zhao mama didn't know about the Beauty's Blood, but she knew the Baili Clan was loyal to His Highness Duke of Qin. She quite liked Miss Mingxiang.
Of course, since His Highness Duke of Qin had said so, she could only do as she was told. "Yes."
Zhao mama was about to leave when Han Yunxi called her back. "Stand still!"
Zhao mama felt sad and obediently stood there without a sound.
Han Yunxi said mildly, "Your Highness, Miss Mingxiang's here saves chenqie a trip. Her illness is very special, so chenqie should examine her personally."
Seeing Han Yunxi's serious gaze, Long Fei Ye actually yielded. He didn't speak, nor did he stop her.
Han Yunxi shot Zhao mama a look, who quickly went to invite her in. She wanted to make a bet with Chu Xifeng about who'd yield first in a fight between master and mistress.
By the time Baili Mingxiang was brought in, Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi were already brewing tea in the courtyard. Su Xiaoyu was carefully waiting on the side.
Baili Mingxiang was thin to begin with, but after being tossed around like that, she looked like a bag of bones. If the wind had been a bit stronger, she might have actually been blown away.
She knelt as soon as she arrived. "Your Highness, esteemed wangfei, Mingxiang has come to thank you for your grace! Mingxiang's illness has caused Your Highness and esteemed wangfei to suffer. "
With servants present, Baili Mingxiang couldn't speak too directly. After all, very few people knew about the Beauty's Blood.
Long Fei Ye drank his tea. Although Han Yunxi warned him that he would lose people's hearts if he was so cold-blooded, he was just like that.
Some people had their own charms to win people's hearts. They didn't need to deliberately fight for the hearts of others.
"You may rise. Come and sit down. Let me check your pulse."
Han Yunxi was overjoyed to see the person she had tried so hard to save. The detoxification system had not fully recovered, but she could still feel his pulse.
Long Fei Ye sat next to Han Yunxi. Baili Mingxiang did not dare to get too close. She did not sit down either. Instead, she bent over and placed her hands on the table.
Su Xiaoyu stole a glance and knew that this was a young miss from the Baili Estate. However, she didn't take this matter to heart. After all, she only had one purpose in coming to the Duke of Qin's Estate. She couldn't be bothered to care about anything else.
"I've recovered from my illness, but my body needs to be nursed back to health!" Han Yunxi said with a smile.
Baili Mingxiang stepped back and knelt down again.
She looked at Han Yunxi, her eyes sincere and stubborn. This was probably the first time she had placed her thoughts on someone else in front of His Highness Duke of Qin.
At this moment, she only had eyes for Han Yunxi. This person had spent half a year saving her, and had even fallen into a coma from exhaustion. In this world, she was the only person who truly treated her well.
"Esteemed Wangfei, Mingxiang owes her life to you. Mingxiang said that as long as Mingxiang survives, I'm willing to serve you for the rest of my life!" Baili Mingxiang said as she prostrated herself on the ground.
In an instant, everyone looked over in shock, including Long Fei Ye.
Although the Baili Estate was under His Highness Duke of Qin's control, Baili Mingxiang was still a young miss of a noble family. How could she be willing to be a servant for the rest of her life? Wasn't this a little too …
Han Yunxi had long since known about this. She felt extremely helpless. "Alright, alright. Get up first and we'll talk."
Not only did Baili Mingxiang refuse to get up, she didn't even raise her head. She kept kowtowing to the ground. "Esteemed Wangfei, please agree to Mingxiang's request!"
Han Yunxi didn't want to, but she never knew how to turn people down tactfully. Thus, she didn't beat around the bush and simply refused. "I don't need you to wait on me, so you don't need to ask for more."
"Esteemed Wangfei, Mingxiang is sincere!" Baili Mingxiang said anxiously.
"I'm also sincere. I really don't need it." Han Yunxi said that Long Fei Ye was heartless, but she was also very decisive.
Baili Mingxiang fell silent. She slowly raised her head to look at Han Yunxi. "Esteemed Wangfei, Mingxiang is begging you."
Han Yunxi wanted to refuse again. However, she suddenly saw a sense of helplessness in Baili Mingxiang's eyes. It didn't seem like she was begging her to repay her kindness. Instead, it seemed like she was begging her for help.
Could it be … that there was something behind the scenes that she didn't know about?
Han Yunxi looked at Long Fei Ye and probed, "Your Highness, what do you think?"
Baili Mingxiang was brimming with talent. She was educated, polite, and smart. She was also a few years older than Han Yunxi. It wasn't a bad idea to keep her as both a maid and a friend.
Moreover, Baili Mingxiang was definitely a reliable person. At the very least, she was more reliable than Su Xiaoyu. If Han Yunxi needed someone to serve her, she was a good choice.
Long Fei Ye indifferently said, "It's up to you."
Upon hearing this, Baili Mingxiang's heart was filled with complex feelings. However, she gritted her teeth and tried her best to suppress all her thoughts and feelings.
From the moment she was reborn, she told herself that since she had chosen to serve esteemed wangfei for the rest of her life, then there were some things and some feelings that she could only bury in her heart forever. She had to bury them deep and not think about them.
Han Yunxi saw that Long Fei Ye's attitude didn't seem like he wanted to make things difficult for Baili Mingxiang. She pondered in her heart, could it be that something had happened at the Baili Army Estate?
She hesitated for a moment before saying, "You stay here. I'll think about it and give you an answer later."
This was a concession! Baili Mingxiang was overjoyed. "Thank you esteemed wangfei!"
"Shouldn't you get up now?" Han Yunxi helplessly asked.
Baili Mingxiang was a little embarrassed and quickly got up. "Is esteemed wangfei feeling better?"
"She's fine. It's not a big deal."
Han Yunxi said as she placed a teacup over. She motioned for Baili Mingxiang to sit as she poured tea for herself and Baili Mingxiang.
With Long Fei Ye around, how could Baili Mingxiang dare to sit with him? She still remained standing.
Long Fei Ye saw that his teacup was empty and knew that Han Yunxi and Baili Mingxiang had something to talk about. They were chasing him away.
He wasn't interested in two women chatting.
Coldly, he said to Zhao mama, "Serve her." With that, he got up and left.
As soon as Long Fei Ye left, Han Yunxi smiled. "Baili Mingxiang, can you sit down and talk properly now?"
However, Baili Mingxiang was very cautious. He glanced at Zhao mama and Su Xiaoyu. Han Yunxi immediately understood and sent the two of them away.
"Did your father make things difficult for you?" Han Yunxi asked.
Baili Mingxiang smiled faintly. "Esteemed wangfei is indeed smart."
"What's going on?" Han Yunxi was puzzled. Baili Mingxiang had already cultivated Beauty's Blood. What else did her father want to do with her?
"Esteemed wangfei, Mingxiang didn't come here to seek refuge because my father made things difficult for me. Mingxiang sincerely wants to stay by your side. "Baili Mingxiang had to explain this matter clearly.
Han Yunxi didn't care so much. In any case, she was certain that Baili Mingxiang wouldn't stay by her side for long. How could such a young girl's heart not fly away once she met her sweetheart?
This kind of thing was human nature. Han Yunxi didn't care much about things like repaying a debt of gratitude.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Han Yunxi asked.
"Father wants to arrange a marriage for me …"
Han Yunxi understood the moment she said this. How could the marriage of a daughter of a large family be so simple?
Baili Mingxiang wanted to explain, but Han Yunxi waved her hand to stop her. She said bluntly, "How about this? I can keep you, but if you meet someone you want to marry one day, you mustn't hide it from me."
Han Yunxi thought for a moment, then said, "You can stay here and help me prepare the medicine. Also, you can take care of the poisonous plants in the courtyard. You don't have to do anything else."
In the end, she came from a large family. How could a servant do well? Baili Mingxiang had taken poison for many years, so she was more sensitive to poisons than the average person.
Han Yunxi suddenly realized that she'd become kinder. Perhaps it was fate that brought her and Baili Mingxiang together, but she was helping her all the way to the end.
Baili Mingxiang was so moved that she didn't know what to say. She wanted to kneel again, but Han Yunxi hurriedly stopped her. "Don't, don't! You should go back and rest first. Come back in a month. I'll have His Highness talk to General Baili. "
Baili Mingxiang nodded repeatedly. "Esteemed Wangfei, I … I …"
She felt that she had to say something, but she didn't know what to say. She really couldn't express the gratitude in her heart.
Just as she was about to leave, Baili Mingxiang remembered that she had another very important matter to attend to today.
She carefully took out a porcelain box from her sleeve and handed it over. "Esteemed Wangfei, this is a medicinal plant unique to the Baili family. It was picked from the deepest trench. Its nourishing effects surpass any other medicinal plant. I hope that you will kindly accept it."
Medicinal plants picked from the deepest trench?
Han Yunxi was puzzled. This was the first time that she had heard that plants from the deep sea had such medicinal effects. She opened the box and saw that there was water in the box. There was a small green plant soaking in the water. Other than its pocket-sized size, it was no different from a normal seaweed.
"What is this called?" Han Yunxi asked.
"Fish weed. You just need to boil it in plain water three times in the morning, noon, and night. It will automatically dissolve in the water after the third time. As long as you take it three times, your body will quickly recover no matter how weak it is. Esteemed Wangfei, please take it. "
Baili Mingxiang seemed to be afraid that Han Yunxi wouldn't eat it, so she emphasized the medicinal effects again.
"It's so magical. Why don't you eat it?" Han Yunxi smiled.
"I just started eating it today and only drank one bowl. I have to continue eating it when I go back." Baili Mingxiang smiled faintly.
Han Yunxi accepted the medicine like this. She didn't know that this fish weed was the most precious treasure of the Mermaid Clan. It only grew once every few thousand years. When Baili Yuanlong obtained this medicine, he gave it to Long Fei Ye's Imperial Concubine Mother.
Long Fei Ye's Imperial Concubine Mother was worried that Baili Mingxiang's young body would be too weak to endure the poison, so she gave the fish weed to Baili Mingxiang to eat.
Baili Mingxiang couldn't bear to eat it and had hidden it for over ten years. Today, he gave it to Han Yunxi just like this, lying to her.
Fortunately, Han Yunxi was still very curious about the taste of the fish weed. After Baili Mingxiang left, she called for Zhao mama and gave her the fish weed. "Boil it in plain water three times a day."
Who would have thought that after eating this medicine, Han Yunxi would not only recover her energy, but she also felt like her vitality had greatly increased. Even the detoxification system was fully restored.
"Esteemed Wangfei, this medicine is really effective." Zhao mama felt that esteemed Wangfei's complexion had become rosy.
"Such a good thing. I'll ask for one for the little thing another day." Han Yunxi said with a smile.
She didn't know how Baili Mingxiang would explain it to Han Yunxi when she asked for it another day …
