The door suddenly opened. Before Han Yunxi and Gu could react, Long Fei Ye walked out from behind the screen.
The room was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere. The clothes on the floor were disheveled, and the room was filled with the fragrance of life.
Han Yunxi's long skirt was pulled up high, exposing her calves and jade-like feet. Her top was wrapped up to her chest, leaving her shoulders and arms bare. Her hair was loosely tied up behind her back.
Gu's slender legs were bare, and his upper body was completely naked. His hand was resting on Han Yunxi's shoulder.
Long Fei Ye was stunned. He didn't move, and his face was expressionless. After he swept his gaze over the two of them, he stared coldly into Han Yunxi's eyes. He didn't react for a long time.
Han Yunxi and Gu were also very surprised. They originally thought that the intruder would be a soldier. They never imagined that it would be Long Fei Ye!
Didn't this guy leave the city with Duanmu Yao?
When did this guy come back? How did he find this place so accurately?
Han Yunxi's mind was filled with surprise. After all, she had steeled her heart to believe that Long Fei Ye and Duanmu Yao had left. Based on how hurried they were, it would take at least two or three days for them to return.
The room was silent. The three of them didn't speak. Time seemed to have stopped, and everything seemed to have fallen silent. However, Long Fei Ye was even more silent than everything else. His silence was frightening!
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps outside broke the tense atmosphere. Ning Jing, someone was coming!
Long Fei Ye expressionlessly turned to leave. When he reached the door, he suddenly slammed it shut. "Bang!" The entire room shook.
Han Yunxi and Gu both jumped in fright. Only then did they come to their senses. Long Tianmo and Mu Qingwu's voices came from outside.
"Imperial Uncle Qin, how is it inside?"
"Your Highness Duke of Qin, is there anyone inside?"
"No." Long Fei Ye answered Coldly without any hesitation.
Long Tianmo and Mu Qingwu didn't delay and went to the other side to search. Long Fei Ye stood at the door, and his whole person suddenly dimmed. His deep eyes were so dark that there wasn't a trace of light, as if they were bottomless pits.
He cared so much about that that he was angry when she took off her shoes and stockings, and he cared so much about her body that he still did not touch her.
But now, she was practically naked with another man in the same place!
What did they do? How long did they stay like this?
Long Fei Ye's hands gradually clenched into fists, and the veins on his back popped out one by one. His monstrous anger intensified the churning of his internal organs, and his tall and proud body actually gave people the feeling that he was about to collapse!
But he didn't have to wait long. When the corridor was empty, he viciously punched the door. "Han Yunxi, you're still not coming out?!"
Inside the room, Han Yunxi had just finished putting on her clothes. She was so anxious that her hands were trembling. Even though Gu repeatedly reminded her that the arrow was still in her shoulder, she didn't even look at the wound.
Damn it!
In order to avoid the black-clothed expert, she and Gu had put on a show. That was understandable. But how could she forget to put on her clothes when she was applying medicine for Gu? How could she forget?
Although she came from the modern era and it was normal for her to expose her feet and shoulders like this, she knew better than anyone else where Long Fei Ye's bottom line was!
After putting on her clothes and shoes, she even forgot about the medical pouch that she always carried with her and hurriedly rushed out. But Gu pulled her back. "Poison lass, your shoulder is injured! You haven't even pulled out the arrow! "
"I won't die!"
Han Yunxi pushed his hand away and was about to leave when Long Fei Ye came in. Seeing the two of them tugging at each other, he simply added fuel to the fire and pointed his sword at Gu. "Let go of her!"
"Long Fei Ye, try being fierce to her again! I won't let go! "
Gu became unyielding. He couldn't stand seeing Long Fei Ye being so fierce to Poison lass. He couldn't stand seeing Long Fei Ye lying to her! He couldn't stand seeing Long Fei Ye having other motives!
Perhaps many people would think that he clearly knew that Han Yunxi was a married woman and yet he still insisted on it.
But in reality, he clearly knew that Han Yunxi liked this man, so he didn't insist on it.
If he really wanted to insist, it wouldn't be like this!
As long as this woman said that she didn't like Long Fei Ye, he'd take her away immediately. Wealth, status, reputation — anything that Long Fei Ye could give her, he could give her too!
Even if he didn't have any great ambitions and only wanted to take revenge on the medical academy, if Han Yunxi wanted Cloud Realm Continent, he could still fight for it for her!
Gu's unyielding attitude infuriated Long Fei Ye even more.
Long Fei Ye wasted no words and stabbed forward with his sword. Gu immediately pushed Han Yunxi aside and pulled out his sword to fight. But as soon as he raised his sword, the wound on his back split open and fresh blood quickly seeped through the white gauze.
Han Yunxi had no idea that Long Fei Ye had suffered internal injuries. She only knew that Gu's injuries couldn't be pulled any further.
"Long Fei Ye, can you listen to our explanation?!" she asked anxiously.
"No!"
Long Fei Ye was mad with anger. Where did he get his rationality from? How many men in the world could be rational in the face of something like this? Those who were rational definitely didn't like her from the bottom of their hearts!
Long Feiye waved his sword and swept it across Gu Qishao's lower body. Gu Qishao immediately leaped into the air to dodge the blow, but the blood on his back dyed a large patch of white muslin red.
Han Yunxi panicked when she saw Long Fei Ye swinging his sword at her again. She went mad with anxiety as well. "Long Fei Ye, if you want to kill him, kill me first!"
Long Fei Ye froze at her words.
Blood roiled in his veins, but he forced it down. His handsome brows furrowed as he stared fixedly at Han Yunxi.
Han Yunxi averted her gaze. How was she speaking the truth? She only wanted these two men to calm down.
"Long Fei Ye, we only …"
She was about to explain when Long Fei Ye's lips suddenly curled into a mocking smile. "Han Yunxi, this prince has overestimated you."
Han Yunxi's heart tightened. She clearly wanted to explain, but when she saw the mocking smile on his lips, her nose turned sour and she suddenly fell silent.
Long Fei Ye, what do you mean by that?
Long Fei Ye, what do you mean by smiling so disdainfully?
Long Fei Ye, do you know how upset I was when you whispered in Duanmu Yao's ear and left with her without any explanation? You clearly know that Duanmu Yao likes you!
Long Fei Ye, why are you always not here when I need you?
Long Fei Ye, do you know that it was Gu who risked his life to protect me?
Why don't you ask us how we escaped from those crossbow archers?
Long Fei Ye, why is there so much in your world that you can't tell us, but in my world, you have to forcefully interfere?
Seeing Han Yunxi's despairing expression, Gu's heart ached so much that he was speechless. He threw caution to the wind and circled his arms around Han Yunxi's waist from behind. "Poison lass, I'll take you away!"
"In your dreams!" Long Fei Ye snorted coldly. The blade of his sword circled around Han Yunxi and pierced towards Gu's glabella. Who knew that Han Yunxi would suddenly raise her hand to block. Long Fei Ye couldn't stop in time and the blade grazed her hand. Blood splattered everywhere and her flesh was torn open!
Long Fei Ye was shocked and immediately withdrew his sword. Gu was also shocked. He pulled Han Yunxi behind him and shouted angrily, "Long Fei Ye, do you know that there's still an arrow in her shoulder!"
Long Fei Ye was mad with anger. He had seen it earlier but didn't realize that it was an arrow wound. He looked towards Han Yunxi's shoulder and couldn't see the wound, only the bloodstains on her clothes.
That glaring red calmed him down a lot. He went forward to look at Han Yunxi's hand, but Han Yunxi hid behind Gu and didn't look at him.
This woman's gaze was always chasing after him. Even if her body was hiding from him, her gaze wouldn't leave him. When had she ever avoided him like this?
Long Fei Ye's blood was boiling and there was an indescribable bitterness in his heart.
After a moment of silence, he said indifferently, "Come here."
But Han Yunxi's heart was truly hurt. She couldn't accept the sneer on his lips, so she remained silent and looked away.
Gu gave a soft snort and prepared to take Han Yunxi away when Chu Xifeng burst into the room with a few guards. Chu Xifeng gave a start at the sight.
He glanced at the mess of clothes on the floor and almost misunderstood. But upon closer inspection, he realized that the women's clothes didn't belong to esteemed wangfei, but to the brothel girls. The red robes were most likely Gu's.
He had long known that His Highness had figured out that Gu Qi Sha was Gu and wanted to expose him, but he never expected Gu to suddenly show his face.
Fine, he had no idea what had happened either. But he'd found esteemed wangfei and she was safe. That was good!
Hearing the commotion, Long Tianmo and Mu Qingwu quickly rushed over. When they saw Han Yunxi safe and sound and only lightly injured, they all exhaled in relief.
"Esteemed wangfei, we've finally found you. Are you alright?" Mu Qingwu couldn't hide his concern.
"Her hand and shoulder are both injured. Imperial Uncle, hurry and call for an imperial physician," Long Tianmo said anxiously.
The two of them were the main force in the hunt for the crossbow archers. They should've been asking about the black-robed assassins and the crossbow archers' whereabouts, but all their attention was on Han Yunxi instead.
Instead, it was the two junior officials from the justice courts who asked, "Esteemed wangfei, how did you escape from the assassins?!"
"When did the crossbow archers escape? Where did they go? "
"Esteemed wangfei, did you recognize the black-robed assassin?"
Han Yunxi completely ignored them as she stared silently out the window. Gu's face was full of disdain as he assumed they were all good-for-nothings and good-for-nothings!
Meanwhile, Long Fei Ye was staring at Han Yunxi with an ugly expression.
Chu Xifeng finally sensed something amiss and thought that something must've happened to the three of them. Otherwise, with His Highness's personality, he'd be in such a hurry to find them. He'd be holding them in his arms long ago.
Everyone watched and waited, but the people involved remained silent. The mess of clothes on the ground and Gu's bare upper body made for an unsightly sight.
Chu Xifeng wanted to break the silence, but Long Fei Ye only said in a Cold voice, "Chu Xifeng, take wangfei back to the estate first."
Before Chu Xifeng could even move, Han Yunxi had already headed outside. Gu Qishao grew anxious. Is this silly lass really going back inside? He hurried after her.
With so many people around, it wasn't good to make a scene. Otherwise, Han Yunxi would be the subject of all sorts of rumors and slanders again.
Chu Xifeng knew that His Highness Duke of Qin wouldn't easily let off anyone involved in the assassination attempt, but he was worried about His Highness's internal injuries.
"Your Highness, treating your injuries is more important."
After reminding him in a low voice, he hurried after esteemed wangfei. But esteemed wangfei didn't return to the Duke of Qin's estate.
Instead, she said, "Back to the Han Estate!"
