A carriage was parked in the quiet mountain forest. An outsider would only think that this carriage was spacious, but an expert would be able to tell that this was no ordinary carriage.
This was a carriage with one or two horses, which meant that there were four horses driving the same carriage. This was the emperor's carriage, and not just anyone could use such a standard.
The body of the carriage was made of precious Phoebe zhennan wood, and the color was mesmerizing and full of spiritual energy. Even collectors would find it difficult to make Phoebe zhennan wood ornaments so uniform, but this large carriage was able to do it.
There were no intricately carved beams or painted rafters on the carriage, nor were there any signs of the owner's identity. There were only a few simple carvings, which were not conventional and showed off their temperament.
The four windows of the carriage were wrapped in exquisite golden silk, completely covering the inside of the carriage. It invisibly emitted a mysterious aura that made people want to peek inside.
The carriage had four wheels, which were large and thick, and had excellent shock absorption. It must be mentioned that the body of the carriage was extremely large, and could fit four or five people at the same time without feeling crowded.
Just like the simple exterior, the interior of the carriage was also very simple, but the style was completely different. It was so extravagant that it made people's hair stand up!
There was only one spacious warm couch in the carriage, and it was covered with a very rare natural purple fox fur. The warm couch could be used to sit, lean, or lie down. There were two golden pillows on the left and right of the couch for leaning. In the middle was a small square table made of Phoebe zhennan wood, and on top of it was a Ru kiln tea set.
In front of the warm couch was a bronze stove for heating purposes. The design was exquisite, and the workmanship was exquisite. When it burned, there was no smoke, not to mention charcoal. The interior of the carriage was covered with a tiger-skin carpet, which was extremely luxurious!
This was His Highness Duke of Qin's personal carriage, a place that countless women dreamed of. Not to mention sitting on it, even just looking inside the carriage was enough to make one have no regrets in life.
At this time, Han Yunxi was sitting in the carriage … sulking!
She sat on the right side of the warm couch, leaning on a high pillow and looking down at her feet. Her unhappiness was written all over her face, and she looked like she wanted strangers to disturb her.
Long Fei Ye sat on the left side, silently looking at her. His brows were slightly furrowed, and his deep, dark eyes revealed a bit of helplessness, a bit of doting, and a bit of worry. In short, he didn't know what to do with this woman.
There was almost nothing in the world that was difficult for him. There were many things that he couldn't solve in a short period of time, but he had a plan in his heart and was confident of solving them. However, he just couldn't handle this woman.
Compared to crying, he was more afraid that she would get angry silently.
Han Yunxi was indeed angry.
She didn't even bother to ask him if he was going to save her. Just yesterday, he had promised her that he would only be responsible for her. If he dared to mention anything about saving her today, she wouldn't mind poisoning him until his limbs were weak and then throwing him into a vat of vinegar to soak for three days and three nights!
Let him know what it means to be jealous!
Fortunately, Long Fei Ye didn't mention a word about it. He said, "Shall we go back to Yaoshui?"
"How are you going to explain this to your master?" Han Yunxi asked calmly.
This … was a huge problem.
"Let's go back first."
Facing Duanmu Yao, Long Fei Ye didn't need to think too much. But facing his Master, who had loved him like a father, he had to think.
"Where's the letter?" Han Yunxi asked.
Long Fei Ye obediently gave her the letter from the old man in Kenzō. Han Yunxi sorted through the contents before calling Chu Xifeng over. Cold, she said, "If you can't find the person, return it! If you send it back again, you're not allowed to accept it! "
Outside, Chu Xifeng almost laughed out loud. Only esteemed wangfei could think of something like that! It was true that it was possible for a flying hawk to fail to find the person who sent the letter. Flying hawks couldn't speak, so who would know the truth if they sent the original letter back? Most of the time, it was assumed that they couldn't find the recipient.
In any case, the old man in Kenzō rarely contacted His Highness over the years, so it was normal for a flying hawk to fail to find the person after three or four trips.
Inside the carriage, Long Fei Ye's lips had long drawn up into a beautiful curve. He looked at Han Yunxi and couldn't resist the urge to tousle her beautiful bangs.
He admired her cleverness as much as her petty cleverness.
As soon as he extended his hand, Han Yunxi brushed it aside. She didn't speak to him, but asked Chu Xifeng Cold, "Why aren't you going yet?"
Chu Xifeng had long taken the letter, but he had to wait for His Highness's orders.
Esteemed wangfei could make decisions on other matters, but Celestial Mountain was a special case. He still had to follow His Highness's orders.
"What are you spacing out for?" Long Fei Ye quickly spoke up.
Chu Xifeng had been scolded twice, but he was still willing to endure it. "Yes, this subordinate will do it right away!"
Chu Xifeng had followed His Highness Duke of Qin for so long that he knew what kind of person Duanmu Yao was. He'd long wanted nothing more than for His Highness to cut ties with that woman.
Once Chu Xifeng left, the two of them fell silent again. Long Fei Ye kept looking at Han Yunxi as if waiting for something. But after a while, Han Yunxi didn't pursue the matter. Instead, she intoned, "Let's go back."
Long Fei Ye gave a start. He looked at her as if he wanted to speak, but stopped himself. After a while of silence, he saw that Han Yunxi didn't ask for his opinion, so he simply said, "Mm." Then he called for the driver to set off.
Han Yunxi immediately turned to look at him, only to see him staring out the window with a stiff expression.
Her brows were creased into a frown. She wanted to say something, but in the end she shook her head and looked out the window as well.
After a long while, Long Fei Ye glanced at her. Seeing her unmoved expression, his handsome brows creased as well. His eyelids drooped as he steeped the tea without making a sound.
Usually, he handed her the first cup, but now he was pouring it for himself.
The wheels of the carriage grew louder, breaking the silence of the forest and making the interior of the carriage seem even quieter.
In the middle of the warm couch was a small tea table. Long Fei Ye leaned against the table and drank his tea expressionlessly. Han Yunxi sat to the side, far away from him.
Just like that, they remained silent for the entire morning.
The atmosphere in the carriage was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe. Even the driver sitting outside could feel the immense pressure. He carefully drove the carriage, afraid that he would make a mistake and become His Highness Duke of Qin's punching bag.
It was already past noon when the carriage arrived at the county seat.
The bustle outside made the carriage even quieter. This kind of atmosphere made one feel uneasy.
Finally, the driver couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Your Highness, would you like to arrange lunch?"
After all, His Highness Duke of Qin could never bear to let esteemed wangfei go hungry. He had never let esteemed wangfei go hungry on a long journey. What kind of major event had happened that made His Highness forget about eating?
"What do you want to eat?" Long Fei Ye asked indifferently.
"Anything," Han Yunxi replied.
Long Fei Ye didn't ask any more questions. He instructed the driver, "Find a clean place."
Then, the two of them fell into silence again.
Before long, the driver found the most expensive restaurant in the county seat and booked a private room. "Your Highness, it's ready. The first room on the right on the second floor. The waiter is already waiting there. "
Long Fei Ye stood up and was about to get off when Han Yunxi's gaze finally fell on him. She was probably tormenting him on purpose. After he got off the carriage, she calmly said, "Long Fei Ye."
Normally, he would respond with an "mm", lift the curtain, and carry her down.
But right now, he only asked indifferently, "What is it?"
Seeing this, the coachman didn't know whether or not he should come over and wait on them. His Highness Duke of Qin had stolen his job, and now that His Highness Duke of Qin wasn't going to wait on them, should he hurry up and put up the footstool?
The driver was still hesitating when Han Yunxi suddenly shouted angrily, "Aren't you going to explain to me? You, get in the carriage! "
The driver's face turned green with fright. It wasn't that he was frightened by esteemed wangfei's sudden anger, but that he couldn't imagine that someone would dare to be so fierce to His Highness Duke of Qin.
No, no, this wasn't just fierce, it was fierce giving an order!
But the coachman saw His Highness Duke of Qin standing outside the carriage and laughing. Just a moment ago, His Highness Duke of Qin had been wearing a face as cold as ice, but now he was pursing his lips and silently … snickering!
The driver couldn't help but look to the west. The sun hadn't risen from the west yet. What was wrong with His Highness Duke of Qin? Although he doted on this woman, it wasn't to the extent that he would smile after being scolded.
Seeing His Highness Duke of Qin quickly return to the carriage, the driver shook his head. Outsiders couldn't understand the world between His Highness and esteemed wangfei.
He very consciously 'waited in the distance'.
After Long Fei Ye got on the carriage, the smile on his face had long disappeared. He asked indifferently, "Explain what?"
It would have been better if he hadn't said anything. As soon as he said this, the anger that Han Yunxi had been suppressing all morning exploded.
"Explain what?" she asked incredulously. "So you don't think there's any need to explain?"
She had been angry for so long, her displeasure written all over her face, but he hadn't explained a single word to her. If she didn't ask, would he be like before and not say anything?
Would he only be willing to talk when she forced him and chased him?
"Why should I?" Han Yunxi was so angry that her entire body felt unwell.
This time, Long Fei Ye really didn't understand. "What … why should I?"
"Why should your master want you to wait on her? Who is she to you? Isn't she already eighteen years old? Don't tell me your master doesn't know that she's already eighteen years old? "
Han Yunxi questioned word by word, "Why should he order you around like this? Do you owe her anything? Are you her father, her older brother, or her husband? "
Long Fei Ye didn't like these words, but he didn't have a chance to explain or refute. Han Yunxi continued to ask angrily, "Or have you always taken care of her like this before? Are you used to it? "
Han Yunxi wasn't just angry. She was furious! Furious!
She wasn't jealous of Duanmu Yao. She just couldn't accept the fact that the old man in Kenzō ordered Long Fei Ye to wait on Duanmu Yao like this!
Why should he do this?!
Three 'must's in a row, an absolute order! What was this?
What did the old man in Kenzō take the arrogant and high and mighty Long Fei Ye for?
Long Fei Ye knew that she was angry, but he didn't expect her to be so angry. Moreover, she was angry at his master.
He looked at Han Yunxi playfully and realized that this woman looked even better when she was angry than when she was serious.
"Answer me!" Han Yunxi said angrily.
"Han Yunxi, I thought you would just let it go." He laughed.
"Who's going to let it go! You're thinking too much! " Han Yunxi was so angry that she didn't notice Long Fei Ye's happiness at all. He cared so much about whether she minded or not.
"Answer me!" She was very fierce. "What does your master want?"
"He doesn't know that this prince already has you. I'll bring you to see him when we go up the mountain in a few days," Long Fei Ye said indifferently.
Han Yunxi pushed his hand away. "So, he wants to set you up with Duanmu Yao. Did he order you around like this before?"
