It was rare for Long Fei Ye to take Gu's words so seriously, but Gu only smiled and said, "Take a guess!"
Long Fei Ye didn't say anything and simply glared at Gu. If looks could kill, Gu would've already evaporated into thin air.
"What kind of good news could you possibly have?" Han Yunxi rolled her eyes.
"I'll give you guys a chance to attack Medical City. How about it?" Gu lowered his voice.
This time, even the restless Tang Li calmed down and looked nervously at Gu. They didn't have enough power to deal with Medical City at the moment. Pill Fiend Pharmacy and Gu Qi Sha had already offended them by joining forces. If they were careless and offended them again, they'd be in big trouble.
"What did you do to Head Elder Ling?" Han Yunxi asked suspiciously.
To Gu, killing Head Elder Ling wasn't enough to vent his anger. Everything Academy Head Gu and Head Elder Ling had done was for the sake of fame and fortune. He wanted to destroy their reputations and let them have a taste of the humiliation of having an egg smashed in their faces!
A trace of malice flashed through Gu's eyes, but he still chuckled. "I haven't done anything yet!"
As he spoke, he leaned forward and put an arm on Long Fei Ye's shoulder like they were best buddies. "Long Fei Ye, do you want to do something big together?"
As soon as he said that, Long Fei Ye abruptly dodged his arm, causing Gu to almost fall to the ground.
Everyone looked over, causing Gu to feel incomparably embarrassed. Long Fei Ye, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened. "What kind of trick? Let's hear it. "
Except for Han Yunxi, anyone who provoked Long Fei Ye, regardless of gender, friend or foe, was asking for a snub.
Gu pursed his lips and finally spilled the beans. He had been spying on Head Elder Ling and Madam Lianxin in the Tian An Imperial Palace for a long time. Madam Lianxin had repeatedly thrown herself at Head Elder Ling, only to be rejected time and time again. In the end, resentment grew in her heart and she wanted to take revenge on Head Elder Ling. Thus, Gu used the identity of Pill Fiend Gu Qi Sha to curry favor with Madam Lianxin.
"As long as we promise to let the Mu family live, she is willing to reveal the matter of the induced labor." Gu said.
Once this matter was exposed, it would definitely cause a huge uproar and cause irreparable damage to Medical City. No matter what, Great Elder Ling would definitely be punished and pushed out to bear all the responsibility.
If they wanted to shake Medical City, they had to first shake its reputation. This was extremely good news for both Long Fei Ye and Gu.
Han Yunxi agreed without a second thought. She deserved to be spurned by the masses for doing something like "induced labor" for the sake of fighting for the throne! She was more concerned about Madam Lianxin's conditions. She asked seriously, "Let the Mu family live? How?"
It wasn't easy for them to crush the Mu family. If they let go, there was a chance they would suffer a backlash.
"Hehe, Madam Lianxin is already like a cornered dog jumping over a wall. It's fine as long as she sees some hope." Gu was quite confident in this matter.
During the last Grand Medicine Testing Convention, the Mu family's qualifications to participate in the Council of Elders were revoked. Mu Yingdong was imprisoned, and most seriously, the Mu family's secret recipes and most of their medicine fields were confiscated. The Mu family had no capital to stand up again. Therefore, Madam Lianxin would be satisfied even if they could give the Mu family a little bit of benefit.
"If you hand it over to Ling 'er, I'll be at ease." Han Yunxi didn't have any feelings for the Mu family, but she felt a natural kinship with her cousin, Mu Ling 'er. In the end, the Mu family was Mu Ling' er's home. If she handed the Mu family over to Mu Ling 'er, it would be a way out for Pill Fiend Pharmacy in Medicine City.
After this trip to the Medicine Hut, both she and Long Fei Ye didn't want to see the Wang family dominate Medicine City.
The Wang family was loyal and devoted, but they held an unshakable reverence for the Medicine Hut. If they really got into a conflict with the King Of Medicine, it would affect Medicine City. If the Wang family had no choice but to switch sides, they would have no way out.
If Mu Ling 'er took control of the Mu family and slowly cultivated her own power, it would be a good idea. At the very least, with Mu Ling 'er's temperament, Han Yunxi firmly believed that she would never oppose Pill Fiend Pharmacy!
Moreover, Han Yunxi doted on Mu Ling 'er too much. She couldn't bear to see her young daughter carry the infamy of being a sinner of the family.
Gu was very disdainful. "What can that little girl do?"
"You can help her, can't you? I think I'll leave this matter to you and her to handle!" Han Yunxi happily decided.
"What kind of scheme?" Long Fei Ye interjected. He approved of handing the Mu family over to Mu Ling 'er and rebuilding it. What he was most concerned about was how to prevent Medical City from finding out about the mastermind behind the scenes and how to prevent Madam Lianxin from betraying them.
"Hehe, I'll have to ask you about this matter. That little girl Ling 'er is pure and kind. She's not as evil as you," Gu said seriously.
Is this guy seriously here to discuss this matter, or is he just here to bicker?
If it weren't for the fact that he brought good news, Long Fei Ye would've kicked him out long ago.
In the end, Long Fei Ye replied to Gu, "You and Mu Ling 'er discuss this matter and come up with a few ideas for this prince to consider."
Gu was about to refuse when Long Fei Ye added, "This prince will give you ten days. If you can't come up with an idea, then this matter … Hehe, it's fine if we don't do it for the time being!"
It was only a matter of time before he took action against Medical City. If he could ruin Medical City's reputation and get rid of Head Elder Ling in advance, Long Fei Ye would be more than happy to oblige. However, he was purposely keeping Gu in suspense because he was well aware of Gu's "impatience" and had no choice but to agree.
Gu was silent for a moment, but in the end, he nodded. "Alright!"
He turned to leave as soon as he finished speaking. Ten days was all it took to make a round trip to Pill Fiend Pharmacy. He wouldn't go see Mu Ling 'er, but he couldn't avoid exchanging letters with her.
Even if Mu Ling 'er couldn't come up with any good ideas for him, he still had to discuss the Mu Clan's matters with her.
After Gu left, Tang Li couldn't hold it in any longer. He anxiously asked, "Duke of Qin, what should I do?"
Tang Zijin and Aunt Ru were about to find him. Once they caught him, he wouldn't be able to escape unless the Duke of Qin completely fell out with them! Based on his understanding of the Duke of Qin, he would at most bicker with his father, but wouldn't completely fall out with him.
Long Fei Ye glanced at him and said Coldly, "Still not running?"
Tang Li almost knelt before Long Fei Ye in front of Gu Beiyue and cried, "Big Brother!"
Run? He'd already been running for over a year. Was he going to continue running? Moreover, there was nowhere safer than staying by the Duke of Qin's side!
He shot a pleading look at Han Yunxi. Han Yunxi said seriously, "Hide!"
"Hurry and find a room to hide in. Come out when I tell you to. Don't move if I don't tell you to! "
As soon as he finished speaking, a servant came to report, "Your Highness, there are two people outside requesting an audience. They claim to be from the Tang Clan."
Besides hiding, did Tang Li have any better ideas? Of course not!
He cupped his fists at Han Yunxi, then hurriedly fled through the back door.
"Take them to the guest hall," Long Fei Ye ordered.
"Your Highness Duke of Qin, esteemed wangfei, this one is tired. I'll be going back to rest." Gu Beiyue retreated.
A complicated look flitted through Han Yunxi's eyes. She probed, "Should I go take a look at Tang Li?"
Long Fei Ye didn't reply. He pulled her up by the hand and led her to the guest hall. Han Yunxi was instantly overjoyed. This guy was finally not avoiding her when it came to the Tang Clan's matters.
She turned her head to sneak a peek. Suddenly, she discovered that Long Fei Ye's profile was especially handsome.
When they arrived at the guest hall, Tang Zijin and Aunt Ru had just been brought in by servants. After not seeing Aunt Ru for a long time, Han Yunxi discovered that she was still as domineering as before. However, there was a hint of hardship on her face. She'd probably been busy searching for Tang Li for over a year.
As for Tang Zijin, this was Han Yunxi's first time meeting him. Because of her previous bad impression of him, even though Tang Zijin was well-dressed and had a dignified appearance, Han Yunxi only thought of him as a sanctimonious person.
Her heart was calm. She was here as a guest, not to meddle in the Tang Clan's affairs.
When Aunt Ru and Tang Zijin saw Han Yunxi, their hearts surged with tempestuous waves. When Aunt Ru had overheard that Han Yunxi was involved with the Shadow Clan, she still hadn't found out the truth. But just that fact alone was enough to make her and Tang Zijin want to kill Han Yunxi.
But today, they were here for Tang Li. Han Yunxi's matters could only be discussed at length.
"Two elders, did you find me for something?" Long Fei Ye was neither cold nor warm.
Tang Zijin sighed a few times and hesitated to speak. In the end, it was Aunt Ru who spoke up. "Feiye, is Li 'er with you?"
"She was just now, but she should have run far away by now." Long Fei Ye's words sounded like the truth.
Aunt Ru and Tang Zijin grew nervous. "Where did she run off to?"
Long Fei Ye turned to Han Yunxi. "Does beloved consort know?"
Beloved consort …
Han Yunxi was caught off guard. She stared blankly at Long Fei Ye, not knowing what to say. She had completely forgotten his question.
Long Fei Ye allowed her to stare as his lips quirked up into a calm and collected smile.
Your Highness Duke of Qin, is it really alright to show off your love in a place like this?
Tang Zijin and Aunt Ru were about to die from anxiety.
"Feiye, Tang Li's running away from the marriage has caused a huge ruckus. Old Man … Old Man can't even clean up the mess. You should hurry up and hand him over, "Tang Zijin told the truth.
The bride's side had already forced her way to the Tang Clan. If they still couldn't find Tang Li, they would make the Tang Clan pay the price.
"Could it be that the head of the Tang Clan can't bear the consequences of ruining an engagement?" Long Fei Ye smiled coldly. Tang Zijin was really getting worse and worse by the day, using such a lame excuse to fool him.
"Feiye, do you know who Li 'er's fiancée is?" Aunt Ru asked urgently.
"Not interested. You won't get any results with your lordship here. Tang Li just left, so if we search the surrounding 100 li, we might be able to find him, "Long Fei Ye's words implied that he was driving them away.
But Aunt Ru suddenly revealed a shocking piece of news. "Feiye, Li 'er's fiancée is from Celestial Mountain!"
Long Fei Ye grew angry at these words. He slammed the table and stood up.
Han Yunxi was given a fright. It had been a long time since she'd seen Long Fei Ye so angry.
She was stunned as well. She never expected Tang Zijin to hook up with someone from Celestial Mountain. Was there a hole in his head? Long Fei Ye was already a disciple of Tianshan Kenzō, so the Tang Clan had no reason to form a marriage alliance with Celestial Mountain!
Judging from his and Aunt Ru's panicked expressions, the bride's side couldn't be any ordinary girl from Celestial Mountain.
"Who is Celestial Mountain?" Long Fei Ye asked coldly.
