Early in the morning, Han Yunxi had just woken up when Zhao mama came to report, "Esteemed wangfei, His Highness has invited Pill Fiend to drink tea in the garden. He wants you to come along."
Han Yunxi almost thought that she was still dreaming. Long Fei Ye was inviting Gu Qi Sha to drink tea? Did the sun rise from the west today?
"Really?" Han Yunxi asked doubtfully.
Before Zhao mama could answer, Su Xiaoyu spoke first. Acting like a big sister, she placed her hands on her hips and said confidently, "Mistress, His Highness must be plotting something! He's up to no good! "
After returning to Leisurely Cloud Pavilion after losing her memories, Su Xiaoyu was much more diligent than before. Every day, she would snatch away Baili Mingxiang and Zhao mama's chores, disliking them for being slow. Now, she was fighting with Baili Mingxiang over watering the poisonous plants in the courtyard.
"Impudent! Is His Highness someone you can criticize? "Zhao mama immediately reprimanded.
Han Yunxi had long since gotten used to Su Xiaoyu's mouth. She smiled and said, "Let's go. Come with me to see what His Highness is up to."
When they arrived at the garden, Long Fei Ye was already sitting down to brew tea.
Today, he wasn't dressed in his usual black robes, his black hair tied up in a bun, looking cold and mysterious. His hair was tied up with a white jade hairpin. His white robes were embroidered with cloud sleeves, making him look noble and elegant. He was sitting cross-legged on the bamboo couch in the pavilion. He was so handsome that he looked like a celestial in a painting. His every movement was elegant.
Han Yunxi had forgotten how long it had been since she last saw His Highness in white. She liked this kind of His Highness Duke of Qin. This kind of him had the smell of sunshine, was more approachable, and lacked that cold and cruel aura.
She purposely stopped in her tracks and quietly watched him. It was as if time would stop at this moment if she didn't move.
"Mistress, you like His Highness Duke of Qin very much, right?" Su Xiaoyu asked.
Han Yunxi tilted her head and looked at her. "Nonsense!"
"How much do you like it?" Su Xiaoyu asked again.
Han Yunxi pretended not to hear and did not answer.
Su Xiaoyu asked again, "Do you like him so much that you'll die without him?"
Han Yunxi finally couldn't ignore her. She looked at her with disdain. "You're so young, but you're always asking about death. You're not cute at all!"
"Cuteness can't be eaten!" Su Xiaoyu snorted.
As the master and servant chatted, Gu Qi Sha suddenly appeared from the side. "Good morning, little girl!"
Han Yunxi and Su Xiaoyu were both startled. At this moment, Long Fei Ye had already stood up in the pavilion and looked over from afar.
"Morning," Han Yunxi replied indifferently.
Su Xiaoyu sized up Gu Qi Sha, who was dressed in black, and said Coldly, "What the hell is this early in the morning?!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as she said this, her throat suddenly tightened. At the same time, Han Yunxi's detoxification system warned her that there was poison in her surroundings!
Su Xiaoyu clutched her neck, unable to make a sound. She was so frightened that she grabbed Han Yunxi's hand and begged for help.
The detoxification system had already determined that Su Xiaoyu had been poisoned by a mute poison! The most frightening thing about this poison was that if it wasn't neutralized within the time it took for a joss stick to burn, it would never be neutralized.
Han Yunxi immediately took out the detoxification system's antidote from her medical pouch and gave it to Su Xiaoyu.
However, just as Su Xiaoyu's throat felt a little better, her legs suddenly turned to jelly and she fell to her knees without any warning.
'Poison again!'
This was a poison that could harm a person's shins and bones. It needed to be neutralized immediately, otherwise, the person would be permanently crippled.
The detoxification system quickly gave her another antidote. This antidote could not be taken directly. It had to be sprayed on the knees for it to be effective.
"Sit down and roll up your trousers!" Han Yunxi immediately ordered.
When Su Xiaoyu saw Han Yunxi's serious expression, she didn't dare to delay and hurriedly did as she was told.
However, just as Han Yunxi was about to spray the antidote, Su Xiaoyu suddenly burst into tears and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.
Finally, Han Yunxi grew angry and stood up. "Gu Qi Sha, don't you know that children's words carry no harm? How could you use such a vicious poison? "
The poison that Su Xiaoyu had been poisoned was naturally Gu Qi Sha's doing.
Gu Qi Sha chuckled and said, "Children's words carry no harm? Do you think she's a three-year-old child?"
Han Yunxi couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him and focused on neutralizing Su Xiaoyu's poison. Who would have thought that Gu Qi Sha would continue to poison her? When Han Yunxi smelled the scent of poison, she immediately said coldly, "That's enough!"
Gu Qi Sha glanced at the white figure in the pavilion and grinned. "An apology is enough."
"Don't even think about it!" Su Xiaoyu fumed. Wouldn't it be a loss for her to apologize after being poisoned so many times?
Blood began to flow from the corner of her mouth again at those words.
Han Yunxi handed the antidote to Su Xiaoyu and shielded her behind her back. Cold, she looked at Gu Qi Sha from head to toe. "Your Excellency Pill Fiend not only has superb medical skills, but poison skills as well! How unexpected! "
Han Yunxi had seen everything clearly just then. This fellow hadn't even gotten close to Su Xiaoyu before he'd poisoned her. Moreover, he'd done it with such precision that it was no small feat. At the very least, as far as she knew, there weren't many people in Cloud Realm Continent with such skills. Jun Yi Xie was one of them, while Gu should have similar skills as well.
"Medicine and poison come from the same family, heheh," Gu Qi Sha admitted openly, but stopped using poisons.
In a moment of excitement, he'd revealed his poison skills. He really shouldn't have done that!
He was about to change the topic when Han Yunxi wouldn't let it go. "Your Excellency Pill Fiend couldn't have been banished from Medical City for secretly studying poisons, right?"
Han Yunxi couldn't figure out why Pill Fiend was so talented when she first heard about him. How could Medical City bear to throw him away?
Just what kind of crime did he commit to be banished by the medical academy? Could he have committed a crime against the medical academy that involved the Poison Sect?
Although medicine and poison came from the same family, his poison skills weren't ordinary at all.
Gu Qi Sha smiled, but a sinister glint flashed past his eyes. "No comment!"
His original plan was to use Su Xiaoyu's insults to cause a ruckus with Han Yunxi, but now that they'd changed the subject, Gu Qi Sha stopped himself.
As he spoke, he turned to leave. Han Yunxi hurriedly chased after him and beat around the bush. "Gu Qi Sha, do you know how to cultivate poisons?"
Gu Qi Sha didn't answer, so Han Yunxi smiled and said, "It's not like being able to use poisons is something to be ashamed of. Why don't you share it with us so we can compare notes?"
Gu Qi Sha still didn't speak, but Han Yunxi didn't give up. Gu Qi Sha walked quickly, then slowly. Sometimes he'd look back, sometimes he'd laugh out loud, but he still refused to answer.
From Long Fei Ye's perspective, this scene looked like a couple flirting with each other!
He narrowed his eyes dangerously, his gaze frighteningly deep as the temperature around them dropped.
He picked up the cup of Red South Peak he'd prepared and threw it without warning. Heaven knows how much strength he'd used, but the teacup flew like an arrow towards Gu Qi Sha's face.
He'd originally planned to sit down and have a drink of Red South Peak and have a nice chat, but now he was going to rip off Gu Qi Sha's mask!
Gu Qi Sha sensed the approaching threat before Han Yunxi did, so he abruptly turned around and gestured for Han Yunxi to follow him. However, in the next instant, he turned sideways and allowed the teacup to fly towards Han Yunxi.
Han Yunxi suddenly saw a teacup hurtling towards her. For a moment, she couldn't recover her wits and froze in place.
Long Feiye panicked. He was about to throw a hidden dart at the teacup when Gu Qi Sha beat him to it. He raised his leg coolly and viciously kicked the teacup out of the air!
He chuckled and turned around to look at Long Fei Ye. "Who is it? Why are you in such a bad mood so early in the morning?"
Han Yunxi's mind was preoccupied with Gu Qi Sha's extraordinary poison skills, so she wasn't in the mood to flirt with him. How could she possibly have realized that there was something wrong with their chase just now?
She looked suspiciously at Long Fei Ye. This guy's temper really isn't small. Why did he suddenly invite Gu Qi Sha over for tea?
Long Feiye didn't speak, but tossed out another teacup and aimed it at Gu Qi Sha's face. Naturally, Gu Qi Sha dodged out of the way before doing a somersault to land on a nearby tree. "Your Highness Duke of Qin, are you certain you invited this old man here for tea?"
"We're here for tea. Why wouldn't you dare to drink?" Long Fei Ye retorted.
As he spoke, he threw another teacup at Gu Qi Sha. Gu Qi Sha immediately caught it. Gu Qi Sha's skill in throwing out teacups was impressive, but his catching skills weren't bad either. Not a single drop of South Peak Red spilled out of the teacup.
After all, not everyone was like Long Fei Ye, who could tell the difference between the same type of tea with a single sniff. Gu Qi Sha only knew that this was black tea. After determining that it wasn't poisonous, he slowly tasted it. As he sipped on it, Long Fei Ye walked over with the teacup in his hand. "How's the taste?"
Gu Qi Sha vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but he didn't back down. He jumped down from the tree and said, "Give me another cup."
Long Fei Ye poured the tea as he spoke. "Celestial Fragrance Teashop's specialty tea is South Peak Red. I drank it back in Medicine Ghost Valley too. What, you're not familiar with this tea?"
Gu Qi Sha's eyes turned cold as he tensed up. On the side, Han Yunxi didn't notice the tense atmosphere between Long Fei Ye and Gu Qi Sha. She finally realized that Gu Qi Sha had given them the original South Peak Red. No wonder she found it so familiar.
Celestial Fragrance Teashop had already been sealed up by Long Fei Ye, so the South Peak Red there belonged to Long Fei Ye. He wouldn't sell it. Could it be that Gu had planted it somewhere else and was selling it again?
Or …
Han Yunxi was still puzzling over the situation when Chu Xifeng suddenly ran over, his face full of anxiety. "Your Highness, there's a guest requesting an audience!"
Long Fei Ye didn't even ask who the guest was, but simply said, "I won't see him."
But Chu Xifeng was put in a difficult position. After some hesitation, he hurried forward to whisper something in Long Fei Ye's ear. It wasn't clear what he said, but Long Fei Ye's expression shifted slightly.
He told Han Yunxi, "Wait for me in the pavilion, I'll be right back."
Then he left in a hurry, as if something urgent had happened.
As soon as Long Fei Ye was gone, Han Yunxi called over a servant girl. "Serve His Excellency Pill Fiend well."
Anyone who could come to the Duke of Qin's estate to request an audience couldn't be an ordinary person. Moreover, someone who could make Chu Xifeng so nervous was even more unusual. At the very least, the visitor had to have the ability to gain face from the Duke of Qin.
Just who had come? Did they have something urgent to discuss?
Han Yunxi was filled with curiosity as she stealthily chased after him. Gu Qi Sha stared doubtfully at the teacup in his hands as a complicated look flickered past his eyes. Then he followed after Han Yunxi on the sly.
But when Han Yunxi entered the guest hall through a side door, she saw a woman standing very close to Long Fei Ye. This was none other than Western Zhou's princess, Duanmu Yao, whom she hadn't seen in ages!
