If it was in the past, seeing Long Fei Ye protect and dote on her in front of everyone, Han Yunxi would definitely feel uneasy and even suspect that he had other motives.
Who told her to have unrequited love before?
But after being together for more than half a year, Han Yunxi no longer had those thoughts. She openly enjoyed the Duke of Qin's doting. She knew that this man liked her.
As long as he liked her, as long as she also liked him, she would be able to accept his enormous favor!
Han Yunxi stared at the sleeve for a long time. Long Fei Ye finally glanced at her. "What are you looking at?"
Han Yunxi finally withdrew her gaze and pretended to be serious. "Thank you for saving me, Your Highness."
Long Fei Ye raised his brows and sized her up. "Mn."
That was it? He wasn't going to say anything else? Wasn't going to comfort her? The situation just now had been really dangerous. She was really a bit nervous.
"If Your Highness had been a step late, chenqie would have really lost face," Han Yunxi said again.
Long Fei Ye indifferently replied, "Mn."
"chenqie is very happy that Your Highness could come to find chenqie." Han Yunxi probed again.
"Mn." Long Fei Ye didn't move at all.
Alright, she knew that he would have this kind of attitude. Even if she bowed deeply to express her gratitude, she reckoned that he would still nod expressionlessly.
What a stuffy and cold guy!
Han Yunxi glanced at the tattered sleeve again, then lazily leaned against the window and looked at the bustling scene outside.
Ai, she had been locked up for too long. She really wanted to take a stroll around!
Just as she was engrossed in watching, she suddenly felt a movement in her hair. Before she could react, Long Fei Ye gently pulled off the white brocade hair band. Her long hair fell down along with the band.
Han Yunxi reflexively turned her head. Her long hair fell softly on her shoulders, making her small oval face look even more pure and gentle. She lacked her usual free and easy demeanor and had a bit more feminine gentleness.
She was confused. What was this guy doing?
"Your Highness …"
Just as she was about to ask, she stopped abruptly. She realized that Long Fei Ye was looking at her. His dark eyes were so deep that they seemed to be able to draw people in.
Out of nowhere, Han Yunxi hurriedly averted her gaze.
Silence reigned inside the carriage. For a long time, Long Feiye didn't make a sound. Han Yunxi's heart seemed to be teased by something, and she couldn't hold it in.
What the hell is this guy doing?
She lowered her eyelids and stole a glance. Unfortunately, Long Fei Ye caught her in the act. Long Fei Ye had been looking at her the whole time.
She simply turned her head to look at him directly. Who knew that Long Fei Ye's gaze would become more and more wanton. She wasn't afraid. She pulled up her long hair and fixed it with her hand.
Long Fei Ye immediately pulled her hand away domineeringly, and her soft hair fell down again. Han Yunxi pulled it up again, but Long Fei Ye pulled it away again. Han Yunxi was about to pull it up again when Long Fei Ye opened his mouth. His voice was hoarse and deep. "Very beautiful."
Hair was often seen as a symbol of a woman's chastity.
When a woman's hair was loose, it was either when her clothes were untidy and she was lazy, when she took off her clothes and slept at night, or when she took off her clothes to bathe.
The only person who could see a woman's lovable appearance other than her personal servant was her man.
Han Yunxi belatedly realized that her cheeks were flushed red. She pulled up her long hair, and he finally handed over the hair band. He didn't tease her anymore.
Han Yunxi couldn't help but muse, "Was this guy bad to begin with, or did he turn bad?"
Silence fell as the atmosphere grew strange. Something seemed to be growing in the air.
Under these circumstances, Long Fei Ye would never open his mouth, but Han Yunxi couldn't stand the atmosphere.
She found a topic to talk about. "Your Highness, how do you think General Mu raised such a stupid daughter?"
In the confrontation just then, Mu Liuyue's actions were the most disdainful thing Han Yunxi had done.
"I don't know."
Long Fei Ye replied mildly. It was fine as long as he brought her out of Empress Dowager Li's palace. He didn't have the leisure to care about the struggles of the women in the imperial harem.
At least for now, none of these women could affect the big picture.
Now that they'd started chatting, Han Yunxi felt her breathing lighten. She grew serious. "Your Highness, did Chu Qingge and Chu Tianyin go to the Poison Sect's underground palace last time for the sake of the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion too?"
She and Chu Qingge had first become enemies at the Poison Sect's underground palace. If not for that, their relationship might not have developed to this extent.
Long Fei Ye had long been paying attention to the matter, but he'd never brought it up.
A complicated look flickered past his eyes before he said, "Chu Qingge's poison skills aren't bad. She might have gone looking for medicine."
That place was the Poison Sect's poison warehouse, a place where all sorts of poisonous plants were gathered. Indeed, many members of the poison community often went there to steal them.
"Your Highness, don't you think it's strange? The Chu Clan is a family of generals. Why would a girl like Chu Qingge study poisons? "Han Yunxi asked next.
"That's her business," Long Fei Ye said simply. It was obvious that he didn't want to talk about it.
Was she thinking too much? Seeing Long Fei Ye's attitude, Han Yunxi didn't ask any more questions …
On the same night they returned to the Duke of Qin's estate, Han Yunxi used Zhao mama, who in turn used Chu Xifeng to get her hands on Long Fei Ye's robes with torn sleeves.
"Esteemed wangfei, stealing His Highness's things … isn't a good idea, is it?" Zhao mama asked carefully.
Although Chu Xifeng had said that His Highness wouldn't wear it again, he hadn't thrown it away! It wasn't good to take it without His Highness's permission.
Han Yunxi glared at her. "Which eye of yours saw me steal it?"
Urk …
Zhao mama wanted to cry, but no tears came out. Of course no one had seen esteemed wangfei steal it, because she and Chu Xifeng had stolen it together!
Zhao mama realized yet another truth: never argue with esteemed wangfei, or you'll be tortured to death.
Zhao mama had nothing to say, so Han Yunxi felt much more at peace. Her eyes flashed with a secret smile as she carried Long Fei Ye's robes upstairs.
She was going to keep this robe and the headband at the bottom of her chest!
The next day, everything was calm and peaceful at the palace. It was hard to say whether Long Fei Ye had discovered the missing robes or not.
Who could guess His Highness Duke of Qin's thoughts?
A few days later, Chu Xifeng returned with a large chest about a meter tall. "Esteemed wangfei, His Highness gave this to you. Guess what it is!"
Han Yunxi examined it for a long time before asking doubtfully, "Medicinal ingredients?"
Such a big box, how many medicinal herbs would it have to contain?
Chu Xifeng shook his head, so Han Yunxi asked next, "Clothes?"
Chu Xifeng still shook his head, so Zhao mama hastened to add, "Medical books?"
Chu Xifeng shook his head again, making Zhao mama impatient. "You brat, you're still trying to keep esteemed wangfei in suspense?"
"Esteemed wangfei, this thing is really heavy. This subordinate doesn't know what it is either," Chu Xifeng said innocently.
It had taken him a lot of effort to carry the chest back from the Hidden Pavilion.
Han Yunxi grew even more curious. She quickly opened the chest and saw the contents. All three of them were stunned.
It was actually a large chest full of … ornaments.
The chest was over a meter deep and filled to the brim with ornaments of various styles and materials. In Han Yunxi's words, there were as many as the stars in the sky. They didn't cost anything!
Zhao mama couldn't help but speak the truth. "Esteemed wangfei, His Highness isn't being generous, but simply doesn't know how to give women things!"
No one gave things to people like this, especially ornaments. This was even more wholesale than wholesale!
Zhao mama really did say too much, but Long Fei Ye just didn't understand.
Han Yunxi kept smiling foolishly as she looked at the chest. Although she didn't like or get used to wearing ornaments, she was still very happy to see all the good intentions in front of her.
She decided that from today on, she would learn how to wear ornaments with her clothes and dress herself up prettily!
"Where's His Highness?" Han Yunxi asked.
"At the Hidden Pavilion, discussing matters with General Baili," Chu Xifeng replied hastily.
Normally, Chu Xifeng would just say he didn't know, but this time he gave a detailed reply. Unfortunately, Han Yunxi was too caught up in her joy to notice the details.
Chu Xifeng quickly bid farewell. He was in a rush to accompany His Highness Duke of Qin to the Medicine Ghost Valley!
The 15th wasn't here yet, but His Highness wanted to go ahead of time.
Last time, esteemed wangfei had found out about the 15th from the Medicine Ghost Valley when they saved Baili Mingxiang. His Highness had to take care of the matter.
Since some things were already hidden, His Highness would keep them hidden until the end!
With such a large chest of ornaments to pack, Han Yunxi's days of recuperation were finally less boring. Although there were a lot of ornaments, each one was of the highest quality and worth a fortune.
Even with Zhao mama and Su Xiaoyu's help, they only managed to organize a small portion after three days.
"Esteemed wangfei, His Highness must like you a lot," Su Xiaoyu said.
"Obviously," Zhao mama rolled her eyes at her.
Han Yunxi didn't speak. As she packed, she silently pondered how to apply poison to the ornaments and hide the needles.
She didn't know martial arts, so she had to think of ways to protect herself and deal with her enemies.
"Esteemed wangfei, there's really too much. How many boxes would it take to put them all in?" Zhao mama asked helplessly.
Han Yunxi thought for a bit before having Zhao mama make a medicine cabinet. She was going to store the ornaments in separate drawers like medicinal ingredients.
"Esteemed wangfei, what are you planning to do?" Su Xiaoyu was puzzled.
"Esteemed wangfei, isn't it inappropriate to store them like this?" Zhao mama didn't understand either.
Han Yunxi would never tell them that she was going to use these ornaments as hidden weapons. If too many people knew about them, they wouldn't be called hidden weapons anymore.
"Stop wasting time, why aren't you going!"
With Han Yunxi's stern voice urging them, Zhao mama and Su Xiaoyu didn't dare delay any longer.
A day later, the medicine cabinet was finished and moved into the study.
Han Yunxi did not let Su Xiaoyu or Zhao mama help her. She used the letters she could understand to mark each drawer and then began to organize them.
It had to be said, this was a large project. Han Yunxi felt that she urgently needed a trustworthy assistant. She could trust Zhao mama and Su Xiaoyu, but it was a pity that they didn't understand poison and she didn't have the energy to teach them.
Although taking care of these ornaments wasn't an urgent matter and it didn't need to be done in a day, Han Yunxi didn't like delays. She always wanted to finish things as soon as possible.
It was like someone giving her a pillow when she wanted to sleep. When Han Yunxi was so busy that she didn't even have time to eat, Baili Mingxiang brought a small piece of luggage and came over.
They had already informed her beforehand, so Steward Luo directly brought her to the Leisurely Cloud Pavilion.
Needless to say, Han Yunxi had actually forgotten about this matter.
She came out of the study and saw Baili Mingxiang standing in the yard. She was wearing a simple and elegant maid dress. Her hair was combed into a simple bun and her hands were crossed at her side.
Her body had almost recovered. After walking through the gates of hell, it was like she had washed off all the dirt. Her entire person had become steady and low key. It had to be said, her appearance and temperament were even better than the maids by Empress Dowager Li's side!
