Jun Yi Xie had just returned from the empty poison pond when he received Head Elder Xie's invitation.
He immediately rushed to the Xie Clan's estate outside the city.
A servant led him into the guest hall, where Head Elder Xie had been waiting for a long time.
Unlike Ouyang Ningruo's slow and modest approach, Jun Yi Xie cut straight to the chase. "Head Elder Xie, have you finally made up your mind?"
Head Elder Xie also nodded straightforwardly. "This old man can agree to your request. However, you must give Old Man an idea as to what to do. "
What to do? To put it bluntly, it was about how to pressure Mu Ling 'er into marrying Northern Li's crown prince.
Jun Yi Xie simply said, "Make up for your mistakes!"
Head Elder Xie's eyes flashed with ridicule. "What do you mean?"
"During the Grand Medicine Testing Convention, this prince will represent Northern Li in proposing marriage to the Mu Clan. The betrothal gift will be an admission token to the Celestial Peak Snow Mountain, one of Northern Li's five snowy mountains. Head Elder Xie, you can use this opportunity to pressure Mu Ling 'er to make up for her mistakes by marrying her off to Northern Li. As for the betrothal gift, it will naturally be accepted by the Council of Elders. The admission token to the Celestial Peak Snow Mountain will be jointly owned by Medicine City and managed by the Council of Elders, "Jun Yi Xie explained.
Head Elder Xie sneered. "Haha, the Xie Clan was the one who got it, so why does it belong to the Council of Elders?"
"The Tianxuan Snow Mountain to the left of the Celestial Peak Snow Mountain will be used as a gift to thank Elder Xie!" Jun Yi Xie was in a good mood and chuckled. "Head Elder Xie, this way you'll gain both fame and fortune!"
Head Elder Xie's arrangements for Mu Ling 'er's marriage reflected his selflessness. He didn't make things difficult for Mu Ling' er because of the infighting between the Xie and Mu Clans. On the contrary, he was working for the benefit of all of Medicine City. This was fame.
As for Jun Yi Xie's additional benefits for the Xie Clan, this was profit.
President Xie stroked his beard and appeared to be deep in thought. In fact, he was secretly admiring Jun Yi Xie for making such a good move.
If it weren't for his grandson's words and the poison of the roundworm, he would have fallen into Jun Yi Xie and Mu Yingdong's trap!
Guild Master Xie pretended to be deep in thought for a long time before he spoke. "Your Highness Majesty Kang's plan is brilliant, but …"
"What is it? Just say it!" Jun Yi Xie said generously.
"It's just that Mu Yingdong is deceitful and unpredictable. I don't have full confidence that he'll agree. This matter …. Old Man would rather not do it!" President Xie's attitude was very firm.
The always confident Jun Yi Xie finally frowned and bluntly asked, "Xie Deyi, isn't pressuring Mu Yingdong in public enough for the sake of the entire Medicine City? Where is your dignity as the president of the Elder Council? "
Guild Master Xie knew what was going on and wasn't provoked. His attitude became even more firm. "Old Man doesn't want to be bitten by Mu Yingdong at the Grand Medicine Testing Convention. In short, this Old Man won't do it without full confidence!"
As he spoke, he stroked his beard and muttered to himself, "Without Mu Ling 'er, the Mu Clan won't be able to go far. My Xie Clan has plenty of time to wait!"
A trace of impatience flashed through Jun Yi Xie's eyes, but he still suppressed it and asked, "What is considered full confidence?"
"Difficult …." President Xie sighed. "That scoundrel Mu Yingdong is the most cunning person in Medicine City. Your Highness Kang Majesty, as for Mu Ling 'er's marriage …. in Old Man's opinion …. it's best to forget about it. Aside from the marriage, everything else …. Hehe, we can discuss it. "
Jun Yi Xie snorted coldly in his heart. If it weren't for Mu Ling 'er, how could he have set his eyes on the Xie Clan?
With Xie Deyi's cowardly behavior, it was no wonder that he couldn't expand the Xie Clan. Although Mu Yingdong was a bit cunning, he still liked his boldness.
Jun Yi Xie pondered for a moment, then said Coldly, "Since President Xie wants full confidence, then we can only let the Mu Clan benefit."
Xie Deyi snickered. "How?"
"The Profound Sky Snow Mountain's gift of thanks will be shared between the Mu Clan and the Xie Clan. You and Mu Yingdong will each take a step back, "Jun Yi Xie said.
"That doesn't make sense!" Xie Deyi immediately refused.
Jun Yi Xie disdainfully mocked, "Guild Master Xie, there aren't so many advantages in this world. Since you don't want to take the risk or give up the benefits, then this matter is over. As for the rest, this prince has nothing to discuss with your Xie Clan! "
Xie Deyi was already overjoyed, but he pretended to be angry. "Your Highness Duke of Kang, what kind of attitude is this?"
Jun Yi Xie couldn't be bothered to explain and got up to leave.
Guild Master Xie hurriedly stopped him. "Your Highness Duke of Kang, Old Man will agree! However, Old Man doesn't want to discuss this matter with Mu Yingdong face to face! "
Jun Yi Xie was waiting for him to give in. He sneered, "This prince will go and discuss it."
Mu Yingdong hurriedly added, "Your Highness Duke of Kang, after the discussion, it needs to be written in black and white and stamped with the Mu Clan's seal. Only then will Old Man feel at ease."
Jun Yi Xie really did agree. When he told Mu Yingdong about this matter, Mu Yingdong couldn't stop laughing. "Just give it to him in black and white. This time, Old Man will make him fail miserably!"
Once Mu Ling 'er successfully married into Northern Li, the Mu Clan would naturally have a way to force the Xie Clan to give up the entire snowy mountain.
The day before the Grand Medicine Testing Convention, Mu Yingdong handed over an agreement to Jun Yi Xie. Jun Yi Xie handed it over to Guild Master Xie on the very same day.
Guild Master Xie happily accepted it, but he sneered in his heart. This was a heavy piece of evidence!
He was very much looking forward to the Grand Medicine Testing Convention!
Jun Yi Xie and Mu Yingdong didn't know that Ouyang Ningruo was up to no good, nor did they know that Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye had already set a trap for the Xie Clan. Mu Yingdong was still pondering whether Han Yunxi and Gu Qi Sha would play any tricks during the Grand Medicine Testing Convention.
Meanwhile, Jun Yi Xie was busy preparing the marriage proposal ceremony. He was waiting for all the medical experts to gather the next day to publicly announce the marriage proposal.
They were also very much looking forward to the show that would unfold at the Grand Medicine Testing Convention.
Tomorrow was the day of the Grand Medicine Testing Convention, so Medicine City was especially lively today. People from Medical City, the imperial physicians of each nation, and the famous medicine halls were all present.
Those who were invited were naturally received by the Council of Elders. For example, the big shots from Medical City and the biggest medicine merchant, Ouyang Ningruo, were all personally received by the Council of Elders. They were staying in the Council of Elders' guest rooms, which were the closest to the Medicine Forest.
As for the others, the more famous ones were all taken away by the three clan heads. Even the less famous ones were warmly received by a few smaller clans who were willing to rope them in.
As for Han Yunxi and the others …
When Han Yunxi entered Medicine City with a black-clothed, masked guard, the news immediately spread throughout the city.
Everyone knew that Pill Fiend Pharmacy's Qin Wangfei had arrived, but unfortunately, no one was there to receive her! The Wang Clan naturally wanted to avoid suspicion, so the Council of Elders and the other clans … Haha.
At this time, the bright moon hung high in the sky.
Han Yunxi held the reins of her horse as she walked down the busiest street in Medicine City. The black-clothed guard followed behind her, keeping a distance of only three or four steps.
He carried a longsword on his back and had his arms crossed in front of his chest. His tall and handsome figure walked behind the petite Han Yunxi like a towering mountain. No one dared to covet Han Yunxi in the slightest.
As soon as Han Yunxi walked over, the people on the street all retreated. Some of them knew of Han Yunxi's identity, while others were intimidated by the guard's aura. Many people were amazed. Qin Wangfei really was different. Even her guard was so domineering.
In short, Han Yunxi easily passed through the crowd and arrived at Medicine City's most luxurious inn.
When she arrived, the innkeeper personally came out to greet her, "Esteemed Wangfei, would you like a meal or a room?"
Han Yunxi replied, "Give me a quiet and clean room. Send four dishes and a soup to my room."
The innkeeper nodded repeatedly and was about to ask the masked guard behind her when the guard's eyes were cold. He ignored the innkeeper and followed Han Yunxi upstairs.
The innkeeper was puzzled. Wasn't the guard going to stay?
Generally speaking, the servant girls would enter the room to serve. If one brought a guard, the guard would stay in the room next to their master's and be on standby at any time.
The innkeeper pondered for a while and finally decided that Qin Wangfei's guard was going to stand guard at the door.
After the four dishes and soup were sent in, the masked guard closed the door and took off his mask. Who else could this most domineering guard in history be but His Highness Duke of Qin?
Han Yunxi was starving. Just as she was about to eat, Long Fei Ye personally served her a small bowl of steaming hot soup, "Drink first."
The weather was cold, her heart was warm, and her mood was good.
If she hadn't personally experienced it, Han Yunxi would never have believed that the cold and aloof His Highness Duke of Qin could have such a caring side.
"Long Fei Ye …" Han Yunxi wanted to say something, but hesitated.
"What is it?" Long Fei Ye asked indifferently as he filled the bowl with soup.
"You're quite considerate." Han Yunxi smiled.
Long Fei Ye took a sip of the soup and coughed a few times before swallowing it down. He didn't answer her and pretended as if nothing had happened. He lowered his eyes and continued to drink.
However, when he realized that Han Yunxi was still looking at him, he seemed to feel uncomfortable and said indifferently, "Drink the soup."
"Mn!"
Han Yunxi tried not to laugh, but she couldn't hold it in. She only took a sip before she choked and started coughing violently.
Long Fei Ye hurried over and patted her back. Unfortunately, Han Yunxi choked too badly and the soup blocked her respiratory tract. She couldn't breathe and couldn't catch her breath. She wanted to cough harder, but unfortunately, it was difficult to breathe. She tried a few times but couldn't.
Panicking, Long Feiye quickly picked her up and had her sit on his lap. Then he leaned her body forward and patted her hard on the back.
Han Yunxi coughed as she waved her hand. She choked, so patting her back was useless!
Long Fei Ye didn't know much. He was just anxious at first, but now he was panicking. He kept asking, "Are you better? Are you better? "
Han Yunxi couldn't answer. She coughed hard and waved her hand vigorously. Her face was red from congestion.
Long Fei Ye was even more flustered. He had ways to deal with even the most important things, but he was helpless when it came to such a small matter.
"Find a doctor!"
He carried Han Yunxi out the door. Han Yunxi was about to lose to this guy.
She decisively grabbed Long Fei Ye's hand and pressed it against her chest. As soon as he touched her soft spot, Long Feiye gave a start.
Han Yunxi leaned forward with the help of his hand. When she leaned forward, Long Fei Ye's hand felt even more obvious.
This was first aid. It was the most standard first aid treatment for choking!
Han Yunxi didn't notice so much. She patted her back with all her might to signal Long Fei Ye to pat her back. However, Long Fei Ye didn't respond.
Although he had bullied this woman before, he had never done it like this.
Long Fei Ye was stunned.
Han Yunxi couldn't wait! She could only lean forward and cough hard.
Fortunately, she coughed out the soup after a while. She exhaled deeply and her breathing returned to normal …
