What did His Highness Duke of Qin like?
Han Yunxi didn't know, and Baili Mingxiang was even more clueless.
Faced with Han Yunxi's question, Baili Mingxiang hesitated for a long time before replying seriously, "Esteemed Wangfei, the most important thing in giving a gift is the thought behind it. Esteemed Wangfei has to express her own thoughts."
Han Yunxi wasn't that serious. "Nonsense, it's as good as not saying anything …"
"Esteemed Wangfei, no matter what it is, you'll like anything given by someone you like, right?" Baili Mingxiang continued.
"Empty words."
Han Yunxi didn't think much of it, but when she looked at the pile of ornaments in front of her, she secretly laughed in her heart.
After a while, she asked again, "Mingxiang, you've liked someone before, right? Otherwise, how would you know? "
Baili Mingxiang was greatly alarmed and immediately denied it. "No."
"You're lying, you're guilty!"
Han Yunxi's insightful eyes made Baili Mingxiang tremble with fear. She had already sealed that secret in the depths of her heart. She was afraid of the consequences of her daring adoration being exposed.
"Esteemed Wangfei, Mingxiang really didn't. Mingxiang only knows that esteemed Wangfei really likes a box of ornaments. Even if His Highness gave you a box of scrap metal, you'd still be happy, right? "
Baili Mingxiang was smart and changed the topic to Han Yunxi.
Han Yunxi never liked to talk about her likes and dislikes with others. She felt that it was truly boring and love-struck. Today, she didn't know why she was chatting with Baili Mingxiang.
After hearing Baili Mingxiang's words, Han Yunxi didn't want to talk about it anymore. She teased, "Alright! This wangfei will give him a box of scrap metal! "
Baili Mingxiang smiled and didn't continue the conversation.
After a while, Han Yunxi asked again, "Has His Highness been with your father for the past two days?"
Han Yunxi hadn't seen Long Fei Ye since the day he delivered the big box of things. He didn't come back at night either.
That fellow didn't allow her to go out. Could it be that he had gone somewhere else?
"Mingxiang has never had the right to ask about the matters between Your Highness and Father," Baili Mingxiang replied truthfully.
Han Yunxi nodded. If Long Fei Ye really went out, she wouldn't care if Zhao mama stopped her. Once she was done with her work, she would definitely go out for some fresh air!
"Pack up these things. I'll take you out to eat something delicious. We'll go secretly and not let Granny Zhao and the others follow us!" Han Yunxi said in a low voice.
"Thank you, esteemed wangfei." Baili Mingxiang respectfully replied. She didn't know that His Highness Duke of Qin hadn't lifted the wangfei's confinement order.
Han Yunxi and Baili Mingxiang busied themselves for two days and finally finished dipping the big box of ornaments in poison. They sorted them out and put them in the medicine cabinet. All that was left was the finishing touches, which would be finished in half a day.
Han Yunxi confirmed that Long Fei Ye hadn't returned home these past few days. She made an appointment with Baili Mingxiang to go out tomorrow afternoon.
Early in the morning, Baili Mingxiang woke up early as usual. Just as he was about to go out, he saw Su Xiaoyu open the door and enter the room.
"Xiao Yu 'er, why are you up so early today?" Baili Mingxiang asked.
She had been the first to wake up every day. The first thing she did was to prepare tea leaves and refreshments for esteemed wangfei. Every time she finished preparing, Su Xiaoyu would wake up.
"I'm up to take a dump!"
Su Xiaoyu rubbed her sleepy eyes and lazily replied.
She was especially displeased with Baili Mingxiang. She had already woken up early several days in a row, but who knew that she wasn't even as early as this woman.
She had originally planned to take care of the matter at night, but that person in the attic was a night owl. She often didn't sleep in the middle of the night and stood by the window to take care of things, so she didn't dare to act rashly.
Helpless, she could only stay up all night and make sure it was safe before taking care of the matter. Who knew that she would run into Baili Mingxiang as soon as she entered the room.
No one really treated her as a servant, so why was she so diligent?
Seeing that Su Xiaoyu was heading to her room, Baili Mingxiang didn't pay much attention and went to the courtyard to prepare tea and refreshments as usual.
When Han Yunxi came downstairs, the sun had already risen. The early morning breeze at the end of spring and the beginning of summer was very comfortable.
"Esteemed wangfei, good morning." Baili Mingxiang slightly bowed. It was as peaceful as this morning.
"I smelled the fragrance of Qimen Hong from upstairs." Han Yunxi smiled as she sat down.
On the stone table, there was an ebony tea tray, white porcelain teacups, dark red tea, and emerald green pastries. It seemed to be placed randomly, but it was well-arranged and pleasing to the eye.
The fragrance of the tea rose in spirals and seeped into one's nose.
Baili Mingxiang's white hands wandered around, her ten fingers like orchids as she offered the first cup of tea. She lightly said, "Esteemed wangfei, please enjoy."
Han Yunxi didn't say anything. She gently smelled and tasted it, her heart calm.
The essence of Kung Fu tea was the word "Kung Fu". It took time, it took time, it took time, it took time to calm down, it took time to think, it was called meditation.
The courtyard was silent. The person tasting the tea and the person making the tea were all silent. Only the sound of water boiling and smoke rising from the small charcoal stove on the stone table could be heard.
Baili Mingxiang used a small delicate gourd to scoop up the water. The water was already scooped up, but it was still boiling in the gourd. It was scalding hot.
Only this scalding hot water could bring out the color and aroma of Kung Fu tea.
Su Xiaoyu hid in her room and leaned on the windowsill to watch this scene from afar.
She was clearly a child, but her eyes had become incomparably sharp and cold, and they were filled with a coldness and determination. At this moment, she was like a hunter who had been lying in ambush for a long time, and her prey had finally arrived.
How could the people in the courtyard know about all this?
After a few cups of tea, Han Yunxi seriously instructed, "After you tidy up the things in the study, you'll be in charge of taking care of these poisonous plants in the courtyard starting tomorrow. You'll have to regularly apply water and poison. Every ten days, remind me to take samples to study the changes in toxicity. The one on your right is a poisonous orchid. It's a highly corrosive poisonous plant.
Han Yunxi spoke very slowly and in great detail. Baili Mingxiang listened attentively and carefully remembered. From time to time, he would pour tea for her. Both master and servant had serious expressions on their faces.
Suddenly!
The water on the stove started to boil violently and looked like it was about to spurt out.
Han Yunxi and Baili Mingxiang looked over at the same time. Before they could figure out what was going on, the pot of hot water exploded without warning. With a bang, the boiling water splashed everywhere!
Han Yunxi and Baili Mingxiang instinctively dodged. Han Yunxi retreated quickly, but Baili Mingxiang, who was close to the boiling water, couldn't avoid it. She fell to the ground. Her entire arm was soaked. The scalding hot water made her sleeves and skin stick together immediately!
Baili Mingxiang fell to the ground and looked at his arm. He was dumbfounded.
Han Yunxi couldn't care less about why the pot of hot water suddenly exploded. She strode forward and made a prompt decision to pull Baili Mingxiang up and leave. They had to quickly find cold water to cool down. Once the clothes and skin stick together, the wound would be troublesome!
"Quickly get up!"
Baili Mingxiang came back to her senses and also got up. But who would have thought that when she stood up, she would see the stove behind Han Yunxi suddenly burst into flames.
Baili Mingxiang didn't know what was going on, but she knew that this was definitely abnormal.
"Princess Consort, be careful!"
She didn't hesitate at all. She tightly hugged Han Yunxi and turned her back to the stove!
"Peng!" A loud sound rang out.
The entire stove exploded. Fragments and charcoal flew everywhere and hit Baili Mingxiang's back.
The accident happened in an instant. The floor was covered in fragments and sparks. Everything quickly calmed down, but Han Yunxi could clearly feel Baili Mingxiang trembling.
"Baili Mingxiang!"
Han Yunxi quickly broke free. She looked at Baili Mingxiang's back and sucked in a breath of cold air. She saw that Baili Mingxiang's back had been burned by the charcoal. There were several wounds on his back. His clothes were burned and the skin was peeling off. His flesh was badly mangled.
Han Yunxi looked at the exploded stove. After confirming that there was no further danger, she immediately let Baili Mingxiang sit on the ground. She called for Zhao mama and Su Xiaoyu while she fetched cold water to help Baili Mingxiang wash his wounds.
Zhao mama was outside the courtyard. When she heard the explosion, she immediately rushed over. She quickly called for Su Xiaoyu to find a doctor and she helped fetch cold water.
"Princess Consort, are you alright?"
"Are you burned anywhere? How did this happen? "
"Why did it explode all of a sudden?"
Zhao mama was most concerned about her mistress. It didn't matter if anyone else was injured, but if her mistress was injured, then everyone would suffer.
Han Yunxi quickly treated Baili Mingxiang's wounds and completely ignored Zhao mama.
Su Xiaoyu was hiding in the shadows as she viciously stared at Baili Mingxiang. She wished that she could cut Baili Mingxiang into ten thousand pieces!
She had already done something to the stove. She had a good plan. When Han Yunxi's back was facing the stove, she would immediately shoot out a hidden weapon and detonate the stove. But who knew that Baili Mingxiang would ruin it!
Damn!
After Han Yunxi finished treating the wound, she immediately brought Baili Mingxiang into the room to treat his wounds. The hidden guards had already arrived and were inspecting the scene.
A trace of worry flashed in Su Xiaoyu's eyes. She sorted out her emotions and hurriedly rushed over.
Baili Mingxiang was lying on the bed. Han Yunxi was treating the wound on his back. Fortunately, the temperature was lowered in time and the clothes did not fuse with the wound. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome.
Zhao mama stood to the side and looked at the red, swollen, and festering wounds. Her heart clenched. However, Baili Mingxiang did not cry out in pain. His hands tightly gripped the bedding and he was so silent that he didn't seem like a scalded patient.
In the silent room, Han Yunxi carefully separated the clothes from the wound. Then she disinfected it, applied medicine, and bandaged it.
After treating the wound on his back, Han Yunxi did not stop to rest. She began to treat Baili Mingxiang's arm.
Zhao mama thought that the wound on his arm was not serious, but who would have thought that the swollen jade arm would have a large blister the size of a palm!
Seeing this, Han Yunxi's hand froze. Su Xiaoyu standing to the side could not help feeling goosebumps. Even she, the culprit, felt that this blister was terrifyingly large.
Small blisters did not need to be treated, but such a large blister had to be punctured.
Seeing that Han Yunxi did not make a move, Baili Mingxiang finally spoke, "Esteemed Princess Consort, what is it?"
The burning and needle-like pain spread through her back and arms. It wasn't that she didn't feel pain, it was just that she was not used to crying out in pain.
"Relax, it'll be fine."
Han Yunxi said in a low voice. Her entire body sank down. She knew that this wound was supposed to be on her body.
She decisively took out a disinfected needle and carefully punctured the blister. Then she cleaned up the fluid inside.
When the blister was swollen, Baili Mingxiang did not feel any pain. But once the blister was punctured and the fluid was cleaned up, he immediately felt a sharp pain.
Such a large blister, how painful must it be!
