Would Han Yunxi yield?
Long Fei Ye and Gu Beiyue both looked at Han Yunxi, one keeping silent while the other didn't urge her.
Han Yunxi's eyes drooped as her gaze rested on Gu Beiyue's wound. When she was practicing medicine, she hated nothing more than being interrupted.
But Long Fei Ye had always been an exception.
She didn't hesitate for long. No matter what the reason was, she couldn't delay Gu Beiyue's treatment.
She quickly replied to Long Fei Ye, "The wound is very deep. It's different from the ones you've seen before, so you can't treat it. Have Xu Donglin hurry and find a doctor to take care of it. I've been tired these past few days and can't concentrate. "
This counted as both insisting and yielding. It was half and half.
Gu Beiyue's eyes flashed with amusement. He knew that with Han Yunxi's skills, the wound would be treated by the time Xu Donglin found a doctor. In truth, she was insisting. This woman was always so smart.
As expected, she wouldn't disappoint him. As a doctor, even if she was a poison doctor, she still had basic principles. There was no reason to delay a patient's treatment, unless she didn't want to save him from the start.
Gu Beiyue couldn't help but recall the first time he'd met Han Yunxi. She'd been so resolute, decisive, and outspoken at General Mu's estate.
She didn't want to save him, nor did she need a reason to save him.
Even now, she did things her own way. She didn't need to explain herself to anyone except Long Fei Ye.
Long Fei Ye was her only exception.
Wasn't this what he'd been hoping for? In all of Cloud Realm Continent, only Long Fei Ye could truly protect this woman. If there came a day when she couldn't keep her status, only Long Fei Ye could fight against the ambitious wolves of the Seven Noble Families.
He had always been rational and never indulged in his own emotions, but … but this time, seeing Long Fei Ye frown for her made him feel bad. He actually felt reluctant to part with her.
Was it because his body was too weak this time, and so was his heart?
Abruptly, Long Feiye pulled Han Yunxi aside without a word and took over her spot. Han Yunxi suddenly frowned. She was clearly angry!
Gu Beiyue came back to his senses in an instant. He was both shocked and anxious. Just as he was about to open his mouth to persuade her, Long Fei Ye nimbly picked up the medicine to clean the wound. His movements were completely unprofessional, but his speed was much faster than Han Yunxi's. In just a few moments, he had cleaned Gu Beiyue's wound of the old medicine residue.
However, there was a price to pay, and the price was pain!
Gu Beiyue, who had been tormented by countless injuries and illnesses, was in so much pain that he closed his eyes. Blue veins appeared on his forehead. One could imagine how painful it was.
But Han Yunxi didn't make a sound, nor did she stop him. She only watched in shock from the side. That was because Long Fei Ye's simple and crude movements hadn't affected the wound at all.
Long Fei Ye hadn't lied. He'd treated even deeper and more serious wounds before. He had treated himself before. He had endured injuries that were even more painful than this.
As long as he didn't die from the pain, he was fine.
After cleaning the wound, Long Fei Ye began to apply medicine. His movements were just as simple and crude, just as fast. His movements were just as unprofessional, but the Dragontendon Powder quickly spread deep into the wound.
Gu Beiyue was in so much pain that his hands clenched into fists. Blue veins popped out on the backs of his hands. Lil Thing squeaked at the sight, but Long Fei Ye found it too noisy. He brushed it aside and had Lil Thing roll into the bed.
Han Yunxi still didn't understand how Long Fei Ye had applied the medicine before he began to bandage the wound. It didn't look good at all, but it was firm and wouldn't loosen. The medicine wouldn't leak out, either.
Seeing this, Han Yunxi had nothing to be angry about.
She asked incredulously, "Long Fei Ye, you … who've you helped bandage before?"
If he could train someone to this level, he had to have bandaged their wounds multiple times. Had anyone by his side ever been so seriously injured? And multiple times at that?
It was impossible that he'd hurt his own shadow guards. This lofty fellow couldn't possibly treat their wounds personally. Tang Li? Chu Xifeng?
"You don't know him," Long Fei Ye replied offhandedly before heading out the door.
Han Yunxi was certain that Gu Beiyue was only in pain and was fine. She quickly chased after him and didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she saw the scene outside.
Long Fei Ye was outside washing his hands very carefully. He didn't even treat Gu Beiyue so seriously.
He … had mysophobia.
"I don't know him? Is he from the Tang Clan? " Han Yunxi pressed on. She knew all of Long Feiye's subordinates, but hadn't interacted much with the Tang Clan.
"No, he's dead," Long Feiye replied coldly, a little impatient.
"Then how did he get hurt?" Han Yunxi was more curious about this. After all, it wasn't easy to injure someone so severely. Besides the Chu Clan's arrows and Tang Clan's assassination weapons, what other weapons could injure someone so severely?
How did he get hurt?
Of course he'd hurt himself. He'd hurt himself plenty of times when he'd been practicing his whip skills. His whip was no less powerful than the Chu Clan's arrows and Tang Clan's assassination weapons.
Whip after whip had landed on his own legs. It was common for his skin to split open and his flesh to be torn open. Naturally, he'd hurt his tendons and bones. He'd treated all of his wounds himself. Mufei only gave him medicine and never helped him treat his wounds, much less find a doctor for him.
If anyone else had asked, Long Fei Ye would've pretended he hadn't heard and walked away. But he couldn't avoid Han Yunxi at all, because this woman dared to chase after him.
In the end, he said, "Tang Li was the one who hurt me. You should ask him."
Han Yunxi was doubtful. Didn't this guy just say he didn't know him? Could it be that things are complicated? Fine, I'll ask Tang Li later.
Tang Li was currently catching up on sleep. She didn't know if he'd have nightmares.
When she returned to the room, Gu Beiyue's pain had subsided. He sat up to examine his wounds. Like Han Yunxi, he was full of questions.
But he wouldn't ask. And even if he did, Long Fei Ye would only pretend he hadn't heard.
"Many thanks, Your Highness Duke of Qin." He bowed with both hands. It wasn't an act, but a sincere thanks to Long Fei Ye.
"Mm." Long Fei Ye accepted his thanks graciously.
After applying the Dragon Tendon Powder, Han Yunxi felt much more at ease. Now, she just had to wait for Elder Shen and Elder Zhang to arrive, as well as news from Gu and Mu Ling 'er.
Han Yunxi sat down and asked seriously, "Doctor Gu, can the wound on your leg … heal completely? Will it affect your normal movements?"
"I …" Gu Beiyue was silent. Han Yunxi didn't pursue the matter, but her heart clenched. She was afraid of receiving a negative answer.
After a while, Gu Beiyue smiled helplessly. "I can't treat it myself."
"What about the others? What about Elder Shen? Elder Shen is already on his way, "Han Yunxi asked anxiously.
"I hope so," Gu Beiyue said lightly. Actually, his answer was only to give Han Yunxi hope.
He wasn't lying. He just didn't finish his sentence. He couldn't treat it, so no one could, not even the dean of the Medical College.
Han Yunxi thought that if he had hope, then there must be hope. Even if Shen Jueming couldn't treat it, the Medical College still had doctors who were better than him. Even if Gu and Mu Ling 'er couldn't find a good medicine, there was still the King Of Medicine! She could ask the King Of Medicine.
"Elder Shen is already on his way. He'll definitely arrive in ten days at the latest. Gu and Mu Ling 'er will also help you find medicine. Just tell us what medicine you need. As long as it's available, we'll definitely find it, "Han Yunxi said seriously.
Gu Beiyue smiled and nodded. "Thank you, Princess Consort."
Han Yunxi ignored his politeness and asked again, "How did you fall into the hands of the Chu Clan? What happened? Why were they so ruthless?"
As soon as Han Yunxi said this, Gu Beiyue knew what was going on. This stupid woman didn't suspect anything about the Thousand Buddha Cave. It was no wonder that she didn't notice that he was watching her when she was focused on the thousand-year ginkgo tree.
How should he answer her?
Long Fei Ye stood to the side with his eyes lowered. He was also waiting for an answer.
Gu Beiyue didn't think for long before he said, "I was originally going to visit an old friend in Medical City, but was suddenly attacked on the road. I assumed it was a group of bandits and wanted to pay them some silver to settle the matter. Who knew that they would shoot before I even got off the carriage. I was unconscious at that time. I don't know what happened, but when I woke up, I saw the Chu Clan. They gave me some medicine and then handed me over to Ning Cheng. "
He said, then asked, "What's going on? Did the Chu Clan betray Western Zhou? Why did Great General Ning … "
Long Feiye's lips quirked up into a cold smile. Gu Beiyue looked gentle and harmless, but he was actually a shrewd and shrewd person. When he spoke of lies, it was so natural. He even asked Han Yunxi questions to dispel Han Yunxi's suspicions.
Han Yunxi explained the situation concisely, causing Gu Beiyue to sigh. "Then this one doesn't understand. The Chu Clan could have just exchanged me for Chu Tianyin. Why did they have to hand me over to Ning Cheng?"
Gu Beiyue couldn't figure it out. That day, Ning Cheng's subordinates had taken him away and locked him up. It wasn't until yesterday that he saw Ning Cheng again during the hostage exchange.
Han Yunxi wanted to ask more questions, but Gu Beiyue asked her instead. "I reckon the Chu and Ning Clans hadn't fallen out with each other yet when Chu Yunyi handed you over to Ning Cheng."
As she spoke, she smiled coldly. "It can only be said that Chu Yunyi overestimated himself. Ning Cheng is the true master of Cloud Realm Trade Consortium, so he must have long wanted to swallow up the Chu Clan troops."
Han Yunxi didn't explain the Nether and Di Clans to Gu Beiyue on purpose. After all, he was only a doctor and didn't need to know so much. But Han Yunxi had no idea that the words "Cloud Realm Trade Consortium" had stirred up huge waves in Gu Beiyue's heart!
Gu Beiyue had been trying to find out the whereabouts of the Seven Noble Families and keep an eye on their movements. The Di Clan was one of the few he kept an eye on. Naturally, he'd suspected Cloud Realm Trade Consortium, but the surname of the head of the consortium made him hesitate. Moreover, the upper echelons of the consortium were mysterious and difficult to investigate, so he could only keep an eye on them.
"Esteemed wangfei, isn't Cloud Realm Trade Consortium one of the Ouyang Clan's businesses?" he asked.
"The Ouyang Clan is nothing more than a cover. Ouyang Ning Nuo and Ouyang Ning Jing are both surnamed Ning. Ning Cheng, Ning Nuo, Ning Anjing, Ning Anjing, and Ning Anjing.
Before Han Yunxi could finish, Gu Beiyue understood. "Promise, quiet …"
His heart gave a start. What a Chu Yunyi. So he knew the whereabouts of the Di Clan long ago, but kept it from me. The Di Clan's Ning Family had hidden their identities to amass such wealth and military strength. What were they planning to do?
