Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye had gone to Medicine Ghost Valley several times. Every time, they would leave in a hurry and return in a hurry, anxious to seek medicine to save lives.
However, this time was completely different.
Inside the carriage, Long Fei Ye was in no hurry, but Han Yunxi was. If it weren't for the fact that she had just recovered from the injury on her back and Long Fei Ye didn't let her, she probably wouldn't have taken the carriage and would have ridden a horse instead.
In the carriage, Long Fei Ye was the same as always, lazily lying back with a scroll of scriptures in his hands.
His quiet appearance reminded Han Yunxi of those days in Jiangnan's Plum Blossom Garden. She didn't want to disturb him, but she really couldn't help herself.
After hesitating for a while, Han Yunxi finally spoke up. "Your Highness, how many hidden guards did you bring?"
Long Fei Ye was still focused on his book as he replied indifferently, "A few."
"That's not enough, right?" Han Yunxi asked seriously. Only the heavens knew if she was going to seek compensation or challenge him!
Long Fei Ye finally raised his head to look at her. "Is it not enough to bring this prince?"
He had only brought his hidden guards for convenience, not to deal with Gu Qi Sha. Gu Qi Sha had already been defeated twice by him and had basically been kicked out of his range of defense.
Gu Qi Sha had mixed fake medicine into the antidote for broomcorn millet poison, so it was likely that he was just trying to cheat his way out of it.
Han Yunxi wouldn't believe Gu Qi Sha over him when it came to the matter of the antidote.
Thus, Long Fei Ye wasn't too worried about this trip. When the time came, he would just let Han Yunxi do whatever she wanted.
Alright, Han Yunxi admitted that she was overthinking things.
When she saw Long Fei Ye's displeased expression, she joked, "With Your Highness's martial arts and this concubine's poison skills, we'll be invincible in this world. Why don't you bring me to travel the jianghu?"
Unexpectedly, Long Fei Ye actually replied, "I don't have time." Then, he lowered his head and continued reading.
Han Yunxi suddenly didn't know what to say. She was clearly joking, couldn't he tell?
In reality, Long Fei Ye meant that he didn't have time to chat with her. Han Yunxi herself didn't catch his meaning, but it was fine as long as she kept her mouth shut..
Long Feiye had loved reading since he was young. What he hated the most was being disturbed while reading.
Actually, she didn't have time to read them all the while she was sitting in the same carriage as Long Fei Ye, she was distracted and unable to read anything.
. She was so busy that she didn't even know that Long had returned......, she was always busy ''s when she was Long's, She was when he was away, Long's was, she was always busy busy busy busy busy to the point, to, she didn't know that Long had return.....
Only a day had passed. Based on the carriage's speed, it would take at least two days to reach the Medicine Ghost Valley. Han Yunxi took out the bottle of antidote for Broomcorn Millet Poison and fiddled with it.
Since she had nothing to do, she separated the useless medicinal powders from the antidote and placed them in another porcelain bottle. The rest of the antidote was the pure antidote.
Originally, the antidote was eighty percent full, but after separating out the useless medicinal powders, only forty percent of the antidote was left. That was why Gu Qi Sha had cheated the Duke of Qin out of forty percent of the antidote!
That was what the numbers said on the surface. However, Han Yunxi wasn't that stupid.
Based on the amount of Serpent Fruit that Han Yunxi knew, if the Serpent Fruit was used up, they would at least be able to concoct a full bottle of antidote. Since they only had about forty percent of the antidote, Gu Qi Sha had cheated Long Fei Ye out of about sixty percent of the antidote!
Han Yunxi didn't know the exact size of the Panoptic Red Lotus and Bear chuan, so there was another possibility. That was, if the Serpent Fruit was used up, the Bear chuan and Panoptic Red Lotus were used up. In that case, they wouldn't be able to concoct a full bottle of antidote. Therefore, she didn't know how much Gu Qi Sha had cheated Long Fei Ye out of.
Han Yunxi silently calculated for a while, then placed the antidote and the useless medicinal powders in front of Long Fei Ye. "Your Highness …"
"Mm." Long Fei Ye only replied casually.
Han Yunxi sat down and seriously explained the two scenarios that she had just calculated to Long Fei Ye. She didn't say "approximate" or "approximate", but rather, she said "precise".
Long Fei Ye didn't say anything at first, but soon, he raised his head to look at Han Yunxi.
"Your Highness, I used the amount of Serpent Fruit as a standard to calculate these two scenarios. Even if it's just a single coin, we must get it back," Han Yunxi said seriously.
Long Fei Ye looked at her without saying anything.
Han Yunxi finally realized that something was wrong with this guy. Just as she was about to say something, Long Fei Ye wrapped his arms around her neck and pulled her into his embrace.
How ridiculous!
Han Yunxi was about to struggle, but Long Fei Ye warned her, "This prince doesn't have time. If you make any more noise, I'll throw you out."
Han Yunxi finally understood the true meaning behind this guy's "he doesn't have time". She was instantly stupefied.
The carriage driver outside had been eavesdropping on what was going on inside. When he heard His Highness Duke of Qin's words, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Esteemed wangfei really was different. If it was someone else who disturbed His Highness' reading, His Highness wouldn't waste time warning them. Instead, he would've directly kicked them out.
Han Yunxi tactfully shut her mouth. Leaning against Long Fei Ye's chest, she just happened to see the book in his hand. She discovered that it was a handwritten record of Northern Li's three major horse farms.
Long Fei Ye flipped to the page that recorded the distribution of water plants at Tian Ze Horse Farm.
Heaven knows where Long Fei Ye had gotten his hands on such a confidential book. Once she finished reading it, she'd have a complete grasp of Northern Li's three major horse farms. In other words, she'd have a complete grasp of Northern Li's lifeline.
Last time, the matter of Northern Li's spies had been a huge provocation to Tianning. This fellow seemed to be calm and collected, but he'd long made a move against Northern Li. Han Yunxi knew that Northern Li's three major horse farms wouldn't be able to escape Long Fei Ye's grasp.
She wanted to ask more about Northern Li, but when she recalled Long Fei Ye's warning, she remained silent.
Unexpectedly, it wasn't long before Long Fei Ye asked, "Have you finished reading?"
Han Yunxi really was reading. "I've finished reading."
Long Fei Ye flipped to the next page and lowered the book a little. As he read, he said, "Our men have already infiltrated Tian Ze Horse Farm during the horse plague. Yesterday, we received some bad news. Tian Ze Horse Farm isn't in the imperial prince's hands, but in Jun Yi Xie's."
The main point of this sentence should've been "Jun Yi Xie", but Han Yunxi's attention was all on the word "we". He said "we"!
Did this count as another step forward?
This felt much closer than snuggling into his embrace.
Your Highness, it's chenqie's greatest honor to be able to fight by your side!
Han Yunxi's heart was filled with joy as she said, "Your Highness, Jun Yi Xie is actually very easy to deal with."
"What do you mean by that?" Long Fei Ye didn't understand.
"Fight poison with poison. He's an expert in poisons, so poisons are also his weakness. No one will always be cautious and vigilant in their best field. "Han Yunxi said seriously.
Long Fei Ye nodded in agreement. "What about you? Do I need to fight poison with poison to deal with you? "
"Does Your Highness want to deal with me?" Han Yunxi smiled.
"Do I need to?" Long Fei Ye asked in return.
"Of course there's no need!" Han Yunxi replied without thinking.
"Mm, I've never needed to." Long Fei Ye said mildly.
Han Yunxi felt that these words sounded strange, but she couldn't pinpoint why. Long Fei Ye's lips curled into a smile, but he didn't explain and continued reading.
Han Yunxi didn't think too much of it, but stared and stared with him. Eventually, they began to talk about Northern Li.
As they chatted, Han Yunxi shifted her position a few times to make herself snuggled up more comfortably. Her movements were so natural that Long Fei Ye didn't notice. It was as if he was already used to it.
The coachman listened from outside and sighed inwardly. "Your Highness Duke of Qin, didn't you say that you'd throw her out if she made any more noise? Why can't you stop talking? "
The carriage sped along, getting closer and closer to Medicine Ghost Valley.
Unexpectedly, when they were only half a day away from Medicine Ghost Valley, someone rushed out from the bushes and stood in the middle of the road, attempting to block Long Fei Ye's carriage.
How could Long Fei Ye's carriage be so easy to block?
The coachman saw the person on the road and didn't plan to stop. He didn't slow down and continued to speed forward.
Unexpectedly, the person shouted, "Han Yunxi, get out of here!"
Long Fei Ye naturally sensed that someone was blocking the road, but Han Yunxi didn't know anything. She was very surprised and lifted the curtain. To her surprise, the person standing not far away was none other than Mu Ling'er, whom she hadn't seen for almost a year!
Seeing that the carriage was about to rush over and Mu Ling'er still didn't move out of the way, Han Yunxi immediately told the coachman to stop.
It really was a sudden brake. Mu Ling'er was almost sent flying. However, Mu Ling'er's face didn't show the slightest trace of fear. Instead, it was filled with anger.
What's wrong with this girl?
Han Yunxi sat high up in the carriage and raised an eyebrow at her. "What do you want from me?"
Mu Ling'er actually drew her sword and pointed it at her. "Han Yunxi, you're the most hypocritical woman I've ever seen. Immediately hand over Mute Granny! Otherwise, I won't be polite! "
Han Yunxi was baffled. "What do you mean?"
"You know very well what I mean. Stop pretending! Immediately hand over Mute Granny. Otherwise, you'll die! "Mu Ling'er was furious.
Han Yunxi was even more confused. "I already told you that Mute Granny fell off a cliff and died. What's wrong with you?"
Mu Ling'er sneered. "You're so hypocritical. Back then, you even suspected that it was my Mu family that caused Mute Granny to fall off the cliff. To think that I explained it to you so seriously. Haha, now that I think about it, it's really laughable!"
"What are you trying to say?"
Han Yunxi really didn't understand. When Long Fei Ye imprisoned Mu Ling'er, she was the one who released her.
By then, she already knew that Mute Granny had fallen off the cliff, but pretended to use Mute Granny to threaten Mu Ling'er. She wanted Mu Ling'er to tell her about Mu Xin.
When she saw Mu Ling'er's concern for Mute Granny, she told her about Mute Granny's fall. She even suspected that the Mu Clan was behind Chu Xifeng and Mute Granny's assassination attempts. After all, the Mu Clan was the biggest suspect.
Why did Mu Ling'er suddenly show up after so long? She kept calling her a hypocrite, but what did she mean by that?
Faced with Han Yunxi's confusion, Mu Ling'er grew even angrier. She said sternly, "Han Yunxi, it was clearly you and Long Fei Ye who imprisoned Mute Granny. Why are you still pretending? You're still lying to me! What's the point? "
Han Yunxi gave a start before bursting into laughter. "What a joke. Mu Ling'er, do you know what you're saying?"
She and Long Fei Ye imprisoned Mute Granny?
How could that be possible?
