I'll never forgive you!
With a single sentence, he pronounced Han Yunxi's death sentence.
Her eyes were red from crying as she stared at him innocently, as if she didn't understand the meaning of his words.
"Drink the medicine," he urged again.
Whether Tianning was in chaos or Cloud Realm Continent, the most important thing in the world was the bowl of medicine in his hands.
Han Yunxi stared at him for a long time, her lips pursed tightly. She didn't speak or drink.
Long Fei Ye was probably the most patient person in his life. "Be good, don't make a fuss."
The edge of the bowl was already pressed against Han Yunxi's lips, but she still didn't move.
"Drink it."
He lowered his eyes, his temper so good that it seemed like he would never lose his temper.
Only then did she speak. "I really didn't do it on purpose."
He avoided the topic. "Drink the medicine."
"Will you forgive me?" she asked seriously.
There was no room for discussion, so he shook his head.
She suddenly took the medicine and drank it all in one gulp. "I've finished drinking it."
This …
Long Fei Ye was surprised and startled. He should've sighed in relief when she finished the medicine, but now his heart felt even more stifled.
"I've finished it all," Han Yunxi said again.
"Mm," Long Fei Ye replied mildly.
Unexpectedly, Han Yunxi said, "You can leave now."
Just … just who was sentencing who to death?
Long Fei Ye stood rooted to the ground.
Han Yunxi ignored him and lay down, covering herself with the covers and closing her eyes to sleep!
The already quiet room grew even quieter, like a silent time.
After a long, long time, Long Fei Ye finally got up.
Was he really … leaving?
Yes, he was really leaving.
He turned to leave, step by step, away from the bed. Han Yunxi stole a glance and was about to get up when Long Fei Ye suddenly stopped.
She hastily shut her eyes.
Long Fei Ye stood at the same spot for a while before returning to sit by the bed. However, he did not speak and only looked at her.
Not long after, Han Yunxi opened her eyes. Just as she was about to speak, he said, "I'll leave after you recover."
Under the silk quilt, her hands were clenched tightly, but she replied nonchalantly, "Sure."
He stayed just like that.
This was like an unspoken agreement. He didn't mention anything about Gu, and she didn't chase after him to ask if he forgave her.
He stayed by her bedside the entire day. Not only did he personally feed her medicine, he even fed her three meals. Every hour, he would touch her forehead to check if her fever had subsided.
She was lying down, and he was sitting. The two of them did not speak for the entire day, but it was not awkward at all.
At night, her fever had not completely subsided. He gently touched her forehead, as if he could not feel it.
He leaned close to her and gently lifted her bangs. He pressed his face against her forehead to feel her temperature, and casually said, "It seems to be quite hot."
His smooth chin was right above the tip of her nose. At such a close distance, she could smell the most familiar scent. She said, "It should have subsided. I'll be fine tomorrow after a good night's sleep. Don't worry. "
He retreated, not forgetting to tidy up her bangs. His slender and good-looking fingers gently played with her hair. It was so gentle that it did not seem like him, Long Fei Ye!
It was clearly just a small amount of bangs, but he fiddled with them for a long time. She did not move or make a sound, allowing him to do as he pleased.
In the end, he still had to stop. Once he let go, her heart felt empty.
"Let me see the wound on your shoulder." He actually remembered it all along.
"It's healed. There's only a little scar left." It had been a month, and the white-clothed gentleman's medicine was very effective.
"Let this prince take a look." He insisted.
She could only take off her clothes and reveal her shoulder. As she said, the wound had completely healed, leaving only a shallow scar.
He gently caressed it. She turned her head away, afraid that she would succumb to the gentleness in his hands.
"I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose." He said mildly.
After a while, she said, "It's okay. I forgive you."
His hand froze on her shoulder. She pushed it away without a trace, put on her clothes, and lazily snuggled into the blankets.
"Aren't you going to treat your wound?" she asked.
"Wait until you're asleep." He said.
Thus, she immediately turned her back to him to sleep. He sat cross-legged on a short couch and treated his wound for an entire night. She kept her eyes open until dawn with her back facing him.
They had agreed that they would leave once they were well.
No matter how severe the typhoid or cold was, it would always get better, right?
She turned over and saw him looking at her. Just like last night, he leaned over and pressed his cold cheek against her forehead.
"It's subsided." He was very sure.
"Mm." She coughed a few times. She was very clear that as long as she took her medicine on time, she would be fine in at most three days.
"Let the doctor take a look again." He said again.
"Mm." She answered mildly.
When the doctor came, he actually said that her body was in good condition. He said that she would be fine after taking her medicine for another day.
Her originally weak body had long been nourished by him using old hens and lobsters. Moreover, the medicine that the doctor prescribed for her were all treasures that took effect quickly. It was really impossible for her to stay sick forever.
She was originally not someone who could lie down. She could clearly get out of bed, but she lay down for another day.
On this day, he even personally attended to her. Not a single servant girl was allowed to enter.
After feeding her medicine, he sat at the side and treated her wound. She quietly looked at him. Suddenly, she had an illusion that they were back in the cold winter of last year.
A hundred steps. Compared to this time, which was closer and which was further?
The next morning, Han Yunxi fully recovered.
She decisively got out of bed and said straightforwardly, "Long Fei Ye, I'm fine!"
"Oh." Long Fei Ye nodded.
After a moment, he took out a command token. It was none other than the Plum Sea command token that had been smashed into pieces. He had actually fixed it back together. Although it was full of cracks, it was still intact.
He said, "If you don't want to return to the Duke of Qin's Residence, how about returning to Jiangnan's Plum Sea?"
Han Yunxi's heart clenched slightly. Looking at Long Fei Ye's face, which had been silent for two days, she felt her heart ache for no reason.
Jiangnan's Plum Sea already belonged to her, but it was still given to her by him. Was it any different from returning to the Duke of Qin's Residence?
"Okay!"
She agreed just like that and took back the command token.
He lowered his head and turned to leave.
He left? He left just like that!
Bastard!
You really left when I told you to!
Han Yunxi's heart fiercely skipped a beat. Without thinking, she chased after Long Fei Ye from behind and hugged him tightly around his waist. "If you'll never forgive me, can you pretend to forgive me for a while?"
He pulled her hand as if to pull it away. She hugged him even tighter in fright. "Can I?"
Long Fei Ye still pulled her away and turned around to look at her with furrowed brows.
Han Yunxi was flustered. Her heart felt stifled, and even breathing became difficult.
He actually looked helpless as he said mildly, "This prince only wants to get the medical kit … You, don't be anxious."
Uh …
Han Yunxi was stunned on the spot. She suddenly didn't know what to say.
Long Fei Ye couldn't help but stroke her bangs when he saw her dazed expression. "Since you want to pretend … then pretend for the rest of your life."
Han Yunxi almost cried. He shouldn't bully her like this.
She was really frightened!
Long Fei Ye, how can you be so bad!
She was about to cry, but he still asked her seriously, "What do you think … is this okay?"
She didn't say anything and just looked at him. She was clearly about to cry, but she smiled.
He still held her hand like before, their fingers intertwined as they strolled through the plum blossom forest.
She was still panicking as she sorted out her messy thoughts. She thought that she really, really liked this man. Otherwise, why didn't she just walk away? Why would she be bullied to this extent?
She looked up and saw his naturally cold side profile. At this moment, what was he thinking?
"Long Fei Ye …"
She spoke softly. Many years later, she would forget that it was from this moment onwards that she no longer called this man "Your Highness", but directly called him by his name.
"Mm." He looked over.
"What are you thinking about?" After the quarrel, she was less cautious than before.
"I'm thinking … about the antidote for broomcorn millet poison. Do you believe me?" Long Fei Ye said mildly.
Han Yunxi only remembered this matter now. Gu's words were still ringing in her ears, and Long Fei Ye's attitude was like this. Who should she believe?
Long Fei Ye stopped and asked forcefully, "Do you believe me?"
"Believe what?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded. Han Yunxi looked back and saw the Tang Clan's young head, Tang Li, whom she hadn't seen in a long time.
This fellow was still dressed in white and had an immortal-like temperament, but he still ruined his good temperament with a single word.
"Han Yunxi, you're finally not throwing a tantrum anymore?" Tang Li asked with a smile.
Han Yunxi not only pretended not to hear, but also not to see him. She turned her head away and ignored him.
"Han Yunxi, Aunt Ru was right to scold you. You're a femme fatale. Do you know how many people in Jiangnan and the central regions are waiting for my brother to declare himself an emperor and establish a country? He … "
Tang Li was about to continue when Long Fei Ye's cold gaze silenced him.
Han Yunxi said Coldly, "Your brother won't declare himself an emperor, much less establish a country. You're thinking too much."
A trifling three prefectures in the central regions and fifteen cities in Jiangnan were nothing in Long Fei Ye's eyes. If he wanted to declare himself an emperor and establish a country, he'd have to conquer all of Cloud Realm Continent.
Long Fei Ye looked at Han Yunxi with interest. "How did you know?"
"Your Highness, the three prefectures in the central regions and the fifteen cities in Jiangnan have long been under your control. What difference does it make whether you make a move or not? If you don't declare yourself an emperor and establish a country, you'll be able to give Long Tianmo and Tianhui some thought. Who wouldn't covet the people in the central regions and Jiangnan's granary? "
Han Yunxi smiled as she spoke. "Anyone who covets the things in someone else's hands will be used by that person!"
Long Fei Ye applauded Han Yunxi three times. Although he didn't say anything, he'd already made his stance clear.
Besides this woman, there was probably no one else who could read his thoughts so thoroughly.
He could have used Long Tianmo and the Mu family to take over all of Tianning, but he wasn't in a rush.
Without Emperor Tianhui and Long Tianmo, who would help him deal with Western Zhou and Northern Li?
Tang Li didn't have such a good head for politics, but he understood after listening to Han Yunxi's analysis. He sighed with emotion. "Han Yunxi, you really aren't stupid except when you're jealous. If you get jealous so easily, you might turn into an idiot! "
"You!" Han Yunxi grew angry.
"Oh, that's right. You turn into an idiot too when you're bewitched by a man's charms," Tang Li couldn't seem to stop teasing her.
"Try spouting more nonsense!" Han Yunxi narrowed her eyes dangerously.
"How am I spouting nonsense? Just then, you were talking about Gu, weren't you? You're so smart, but you still can't figure it out? Gu Qishao had purposely mixed in the powder that would turn the bottle black. You're saying he just wants to keep the antidote for himself? He's clearly plotting to drive a wedge between the two of you, "Tang Li said seriously.
