Han Yunxi grew nervous at Third Elder Shen's words. She immediately gestured for the servants to withdraw.
Baili Mingxiang and Su Xiaoyu were still unreconciled over Mu Ling 'er's actions, but none of them dared to say a word in the presence of guests. They could only withdraw one by one.
When they reached the courtyard, they saw Gu Beiyue there and began to pester Gu Beiyue to complain.
"Doctor Gu, what do you think happened to His Highness and esteemed wangfei this time? They're too easy to talk to, aren't they?" Little Yi 'er was the most depressed of all. He dearly wished that Mu Ling' er was here. With Mu Ling 'er here, he'd have another genius teacher.
"Doctor Gu, that Xie fellow is so arrogant. Say, do you think esteemed wangfei and His Highness will kill their way to Medicine City tomorrow and wipe out their nest?" Su Xiaoyu asked seriously.
"Doctor Gu, don't we still have proof of Eldest Young Master Xie's involvement in the black market? Why is esteemed wangfei so afraid of him?" Zhao mama asked.
"I don't get it either. If things get out of hand, we won't have to fear Medicine City!" Chu Xifeng scratched his head in confusion.
While everyone was talking at once, Baili Mingxiang sat by Gu Beiyue's side with a silent smile.
Gu Beiyue was a quiet man, so he didn't reject the fact that everyone was crowding around him. He hadn't been here long, but for some reason, everyone was looking for him as soon as something happened.
"Pill Fiend Pharmacy caused such a ruckus on its first day in the medical world. They'll only be ostracized by the various factions of the medical world. As for the Xie Clan incident, aren't you curious why Mu Yingdong hasn't shown up? "Gu Beiyue retorted.
"Mu Yingdong has no way out, but Head Elder Xie does! As soon as esteemed wangfei reveals Eldest Young Master Xie's involvement, Head Elder Xie will only pretend to know nothing and bite back at esteemed wangfei. Presumably, this is what Mu Yingdong wants to see the most because Mu Chaoran has already given them the evidence. "Baili Mingxiang said seriously.
"Miss Baili is indeed smart," Gu Beiyue said with a smile.
"Doctor Gu, you flatter me. It's just a wild guess." Baili Mingxiang was very humble.
However, Gu Beiyue did not say anything more. He took the opportunity to get up and leave.
After he walked away, Su Xiaoyu asked, "Baili Mingxiang, is Imperial Physician Gu doing well?"
Baili Mingxiang nodded. Unexpectedly, Su Xiaoyu giggled. "She's a good match for you. Think about it!"
As soon as she said this, everyone started to jeer. Baili Mingxiang was embarrassed and angry at the same time. He angrily rebuked, "You brat, don't talk nonsense!"
"So what if I say it?"
Su Xiaoyu's provocative look really had Baili Mingxiang under control. In fact, Baili Mingxiang just did not like to be calculative with a child like her.
She glared at Su Xiaoyu and turned to leave. Everyone laughed. Su Xiaoyu chased after her all the way to the backyard.
Baili Mingxiang knew that she was chasing after him. He was too lazy to pay attention to her and walked away quickly with his head lowered. Su Xiaoyu suddenly said coldly, "Baili Mingxiang, stop right there!"
Baili Mingxiang heard her tone and felt that something was wrong.
Su Xiaoyu was young, but she had a bad heart. She was always lecturing her and Su Xiaoyu did not like her. However, she had never spoken to her in such a tone.
Baili Mingxiang turned around and asked seriously, "What's wrong with you?"
Su Xiaoyu looked around. After making sure that there was no one around, she hooked her finger and gestured for Baili Mingxiang to come closer.
Baili Mingxiang patiently walked closer and bent down. Su Xiaoyu leaned close to her ear and said slowly, word by word, "Baili Mingxiang, you're shameless. You like His Highness the Duke of Qin."
As soon as these words came out, Baili Mingxiang felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She was completely stunned.
Su Xiaoyu's lips curved into a cold smile like a little devil. She continued, "If you know what's good for you and follow Gu Beiyue, I'll pretend that I don't know anything. Otherwise, you'll suffer in the future!"
"I … I … I didn't!"
Baili Mingxiang retreated. Her heart was thumping and her face was pale. She said angrily, "Su Xiaoyu, don't talk nonsense. I didn't! Did you tell Her Highness the Princess Consort? Tell me! "
"What are you mumbling about? Are you trying to lure them all here? "Su Xiaoyu reprimanded her fiercely.
She was only seven or eight years old, but her fierceness was enough to intimidate Baili Mingxiang. Baili Mingxiang covered her mouth and was speechless for a long time.
She had a guilty conscience! She had hidden it so well that she had fooled everyone, but she couldn't fool a child!
A child's intuition was so frightening!
"Are you following Gu Beiyue?" Su Xiaoyu asked stubbornly.
Baili Mingxiang didn't know how to answer her. She could only deny it. "I didn't. Little Yu 'er, why would you think that? Who told you? "
"I could see it! Do you dare to swear to the heavens that you didn't? "Su Xiaoyu asked Coldly.
"I dare!" Baili Mingxiang threw caution to the wind. In order to hide this secret, she dared to curse herself.
"I, Baili Mingxiang, swear that if I like His Highness Duke of Qin, I will be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"
Unexpectedly, Su Xiaoyu was even more vicious. "You swear that if you like His Highness Duke of Qin, His Highness Duke of Qin will be torn apart by five horses and won't even have a burial place!"
"Su Xiaoyu! Shut up! "
With a shout, Baili Mingxiang slapped him across the face with a resounding slap!
This slap was so forceful that Su Xiaoyu's face was twisted. She turned her face to the side and looked disdainfully at Baili Mingxiang. She smiled disdainfully. "You don't dare! You admit it! "
Baili Mingxiang gasped for breath and took a while to calm down. "What exactly do you want?"
"You can either follow Gu Beiyue or leave. There are only two paths. You choose." Su Xiaoyu Coldly said.
"What right do you have to make the choice for me?" Baili Mingxiang retorted.
"You can choose neither, but … I'll make you regret it." Su Xiaoyu smiled.
"You'll tell esteemed wangfei?" Baili Mingxiang was actually very nervous.
"Are you afraid? Are you afraid that esteemed wangfei will see through your hypocritical face? Or are you afraid that His Highness Duke of Qin will find out? "Su Xiaoyu asked with great interest.
Baili Mingxiang's hands were trembling. At this moment, her mind was completely blank.
She could convince herself to give up, but she would never be able to convince herself to leave. If she could, she would have left long ago, right?
Su Xiaoyu waited for a long time until her patience ran out. She roughly grabbed Baili Mingxiang's belt and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I won't tell esteemed wangfei or His Highness Duke of Qin. I don't want them to be disgusted. I'll only … slowly torture you! If you're not afraid, then feel free to stay! "
She was about to leave when she turned back and added, "You'd better hide well. If esteemed wangfei finds out and hurts her heart, I'll definitely … burn you to death!"
After she finished speaking, she swaggered off, leaving Baili Mingxiang standing there in a daze, her heart thumping wildly.
After an unknown amount of time, Baili Mingxiang finally regained her senses. She ran back to her room and threw herself onto her bed, wailing loudly.
Her sobs were muffled under the covers. The night was very quiet, but no one heard her.
At this time, in the reception hall, Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye were both frowning. Third Elder Shen had said something unexpected.
When Han Yunxi cured Long Tianmo in Medical City and hid the fact that Long Tianmo had been poisoned by Jun Yi Xie, Third Elder Shen remembered her kindness and promised to help as long as it was within his power.
Han Yunxi asked him to investigate the matter of Lady Tianxin helping Han Congan become a director of the medical academy. At that time, Third Elder Shen found out that when Han Congan became a director, two elders had passed away and the director election had been personally presided over by the two vice directors.
With Han Congan's medical skills and reputation, it was clear that someone had let him be elected as a director.
The matter was sensitive, so Third Elder Shen couldn't directly ask the two vice directors. He could only investigate in secret.
Who knew that after investigating for more than two years, he really did find some clues. Han Congan's election as a director had something to do with Lady Lianxin, and Lady Lianxin had a close relationship with the director.
In fact, the reason Han Congan could become a director was because Lady Tianxin had asked Lady Lianxin for help. Han Yunxi had heard about this from Gu a long time ago.
At that time, Gu had already told Han Yunxi that Lady Lianxin had an affair with Vice Director Lin. She didn't expect the director to be involved as well.
It had to be said that Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi were very shocked.
"This woman isn't simple …"
Han Yunxi glanced at Gu Qi Sha, who was still crouching on a nearby chair. Gu Qi Sha ignored her and had been staring coldly at Third Elder Shen the entire time.
Han Yunxi had no choice but to withdraw her gaze.
Third Elder Shen felt uncomfortable under Gu Qi Sha's stare, but he didn't say anything. The grudge between Gu Qi Sha and Medical City wasn't something he could resolve alone.
"She's not simple, but since she helped you back then, why doesn't she acknowledge you now? It's really puzzling. "Han Yunxi understood what Third Elder Shen was implying.
Back then, Lady Lianxin had helped Han Congan obtain the director position because she was either threatened or had made a deal. She didn't sincerely help him.
Han Yunxi couldn't figure it out. Mu Xin had already changed her name to Lady Tianxin and married Han Congan. How could she have gotten in touch with Lady Lianxin? What was the secret behind all this?
Long Fei Ye also couldn't figure it out. After Mu Xin changed her name to Tianxin, she stopped contacting Mute Granny. Mute Granny also didn't know what happened afterwards. Thus, he had no way of knowing.
However, the Mu family didn't know that Mu Xin was a descendant of the Western Qin imperial family, so he allowed Han Yunxi to pursue the matter.
Han Yunxi fell silent for a while before she spoke Cold. "Your Highness, it looks like we'll have to negotiate with Medicine City as soon as possible. We can't keep Mu Ling 'er waiting for too long!"
Long Fei Ye's lips curved into a cold smile. Today, Head Elder Xie had shown Pill Fiend Pharmacy his power in front of everyone. How could he not take revenge for Han Yunxi?
Moreover, Medicine City was part of his plans to begin with.
Third Elder Shen wasn't clear on the relationship between Lady Tianxin and the Mu Clan, nor did he know why Han Yunxi was investigating these matters. He didn't understand, but since Han Yunxi had no intention of explaining herself, it wasn't appropriate for him to ask.
"Esteemed wangfei, this matter involves the academy head after all. The Old Man is really …"
Han Yunxi quickly cut him off and cupped her hands in a bow. "Yunxi is endlessly grateful that Third Elder is willing to divulge such a private matter!"
Third Elder smiled and presented a congratulatory gift. "Your Highness, esteemed wangfei, this is a small token of my appreciation for Pill Fiend Pharmacy's grand opening. If Pill Fiend Pharmacy can obtain the Mu Clan's medicine order, then Medical City … "
Third Elder wanted to say that Medical City didn't think highly of Pill Fiend Pharmacy because of its unclear relationship with Gu Qi Sha. Mu Yingdong went to persuade them and spent a lot of effort before they finally changed their view of Pill Fiend Pharmacy.
Third Elder was very curious as to how Qin Wangfei had managed to convince an old schemer like Mu Yingdong to do such a thing.
But before he could finish his question, Gu Qi Sha started banging on the table, so he could only drop the subject. After chatting a bit more, he took his leave.
Once he was gone, Han Yunxi walked in front of Gu Qi Sha. "Hey, just what's going on between you and Medical City?"
Gu lifted his black mask to reveal his devastatingly beautiful face. He gave her a slight smile, but didn't answer. Instead, he looked towards Long Fei Ye. "Long Fei Ye, get out and fight!"
