Duanmu Yao finally realized that not only had she been humiliated, but she had also brought shame upon herself!
Han Yunxi had not left the courtyard at all. She had even found the Ghostly Labyrinth. Duanmu Yao had been stalling for time, allowing Duanmu Yao to run all over the mountain like a clown.
"Han Yunxi, you … you …" Duanmu Yao was both embarrassed and angry. Pointing at Han Yunxi, she was so angry that she was almost speechless. "You … you cheated! You come from a medical family and are familiar with medicinal ingredients, but I know nothing about them. This is unfair! I refuse to accept this! "
Han Yunxi had long known that this princess had no credibility to speak of. Looking towards Pill Fiend, she said, "Your Excellency, Pill Fiend, you must uphold justice."
At this moment, Pill Fiend found Han Yunxi pleasing to the eye. Eccentrically, he warned, "Hehe, Princess Changle, before the competition, it was you who said that the rules were fair. Now that you want to go back on your word, this daren will be very unhappy."
Duanmu Yao did not know the immensity of heaven and earth. She still wanted to argue, but Duanmu Baiye pulled her back, firmly gripping her wrist. In a low voice, he said, "Enough. This is not the place to make trouble."
Although His Excellency Pill Fiend was eccentric, unpredictable, and even crazy, he was definitely not someone to be trifled with. After being humiliated once, Duanmu Baiye didn't want to be known as someone who couldn't afford to lose a bet. He also didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
Even her imperial brother was somewhat angry. Although Duanmu Yao was extremely unwilling, she still turned around and obediently took out the Seven Stars Caterpillar Grass from her chest.
As soon as she handed it over to her imperial brother, tears streamed out of her eyes. Glancing resentfully at Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi, she angrily turned around and ran out.
Han Yunxi, I hate you! Next time, I definitely won't let you off!
Duanmu Baiye handed the Seven Stars Caterpillar Grass to Pill Fiend. Coldly, he said, "Your Excellency, a bet is a bet. This one keeps his word."
Pill Fiend revealed a bony hand, grabbing it into his black robes. Soon, he began to cackle strangely, no longer paying attention to Duanmu Baiye.
"Duke of Qin, may we meet again someday." Duanmu Baiye still had a bit of grace. He cupped his hands and bowed.
Although he was talking to Long Fei Ye, he was warning Han Yunxi. Han Yunxi, you really are a strange girl, but it's a pity you hurt Yao Yao and humiliated this prince. It's best if you don't fall into this prince's hands one day!
After saying this, he flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.
Han Yunxi had seen even scarier warnings, so she wasn't afraid. She muttered, "If you agree to bet, you must accept defeat. How is this admitting defeat?"
After hiding the Seven Stars Caterpillar Grass, His Excellency Pill Fiend laughed strangely, "Qin Wangfei, this daren admires you, sincerely."
Han Yunxi immediately felt her hair stand on end. She subconsciously hid behind Long Fei Ye. She couldn't accept this strange thing's submission.
Long Fei Ye handed over the Poisonous Python Pill and reminded him Coldly, "His Excellency Pill Fiend, you should take out the Life Blood Pills now."
As soon as he saw Long Fei Ye, His Excellency Pill Fiend immediately put on an arrogant attitude and unhurriedly said, "Just wait."
As he spoke, he unhurriedly went into the room to get it. After a long time, he finally returned with a brocade box and slowly opened it. Inside the box was a blood-red Medicinal Pills the size of a pellet. Upon closer inspection, one could even faintly smell the scent of blood.
This was the Life Blood Pills that Gu Beiyue had mentioned. Han Yunxi's eyes immediately lit up. She reached out to take it, but who knew that His Excellency Pill Fiend would hurriedly take it back and laugh mischievously, "Qin Wangfei, if you tell me where the wall-hitting ghost is in this courtyard, this thing will belong to you. How about it?"
Han Yunxi was stunned. Just as she was about to speak, Long Fei Ye coldly said, "Gu Qi Sha, are you going to go back on your word?"
"This daren isn't talking to you." His Excellency Pill Fiend's cold voice changed faster than flipping a book.
However, Han Yunxi said, "What if I'm not willing to tell you?"
Uh …
His Excellency Pill Fiend's eyes darkened. His killing intent suddenly appeared, but it was quickly concealed. He took a deep breath and handed over the Life Blood Pills with both hands.
Han Yunxi was afraid that he would regret it, so she hurriedly put away the pouch for safekeeping. Then, she took a deep breath. The most important thing was finally in her hands. Long Tianmo's illness could be considered to have mostly recovered.
Now that they had the item, they naturally had to hurry back. Everyone in the Eastern Palace was probably anxious.
Unexpectedly, His Excellency Pill Fiend actually followed them all the way to the door. He chuckled mischievously and pestered them, "Qin Wangfei, just tell me. You really found it, right?"
Han Yunxi smiled mysteriously, "Hehe, I'll tell you when I come back next time."
His Excellency Pill Fiend still wanted to pester her, but Long Fei Ye turned around and gave him a Cold Glance. His Excellency Pill Fiend only felt the killing intent around him suddenly rise. His narrow eyes narrowed with a dangerous glint as he provoked him back.
However, when Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye walked out of the valley, His Excellency Pill Fiend didn't pester them anymore. Instead, he watched them from afar. Only when he saw their figures disappear did His Excellency Pill Fiend chuckle.
Unexpectedly, not only was this voice extremely magnetic, it was also deep and pleasant to the ears. It was clearly the voice of a young man.
His hands stretched out from his black robe. They were gentle like white jade and slender and good-looking. They were completely different from their previous emaciated appearance.
Even the precious poisonous python pill and Seven Stars Caterpillar Grass lying in his palms weren't as eye-catching as his hands.
He muttered to himself with a mischievous smile, "Han Yunxi … Hehe, interesting! We'll meet again someday! "
…
On the way back, Long Fei Ye asked Han Yunxi, "Where's the Wall-Hitting Ghost in the courtyard?"
She didn't expect this fellow to be curious as well. Han Yunxi said mysteriously, "I'm not telling you."
His expression stiffened, a little surprised by Han Yunxi's reaction. But he quickly recovered his usual cold demeanor.
The two of them hurried on their way and arrived at Tianning's capital three days later in the morning.
Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi's absence had left the emperor and empress worried sick. If the Duke of Qin hadn't taken them away, everyone would have assumed that Han Yunxi had run away.
It was still early in the morning, but the Eastern Palace was already packed with people. Emperor Tianhui came over as soon as he finished court, while the empress dowager and empress stayed close to him. Even Han Congan didn't leave, but respectfully waited behind the empress dowager. He didn't dare to voice his grievances. Gu Beiyue was inside the room, keeping watch by the crown prince's bedside.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Duke of Qin and Qin Wangfei have entered the palace and are heading this way."
Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi had just entered the palace when Eunuch Xue scrambled over to report.
Emperor Tianhui was thrilled. "Did you bring back the Life Blood Pill?"
Hearing this, Han Congan grew nervous and stared fixedly at Eunuch Xue, waiting for his reply.
Han Yunxi had already analyzed the illness so thoroughly and insisted that her diagnosis wasn't wrong. Although Han Congan had been forced into silence, he still refused to believe Han Yunxi's diagnosis!
As long as they got the Life Blood Pill, Han Yunxi could start treatment. Then they'd know whether he or Han Yunxi was right!
The crown prince's stomach was a child, so he wanted to see how Han Yunxi would turn the child into a malignant tumor!
Eunuch Xue was in a difficult position. "Your servant … your servant forgot to ask!"
Actually, Eunuch Xue didn't dare to ask. What right did he have to ask His Highness Duke of Qin? Even if he did, His Highness Duke of Qin wouldn't spare him a glance.
"Useless thing, hurry up and go," the empress dowager scolded. She was even more anxious than Emperor Tianhui.
"Yes, yes, yes. Your servant will go right away!"
Eunuch Xue was about to leave when Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi entered the courtyard. The two of them were travel-worn from the journey, but still looked as elegant as ever. Long Fei Ye, especially, entered the courtyard. His tall and proud figure immediately gave everyone a sense of pressure. Only the emperor's aura could rival his.
Emperor Tianhui might be impatient, but he wasn't flustered. As soon as he saw Long Fei Ye enter, he stepped forward and asked with concern, "Duke of Qin, did your journey go smoothly?"
"Thanks to imperial brother's good fortune, everything went smoothly," Long Fei Ye bowed with his hands clasped in front. Han Yunxi followed suit and bowed by his side.
"Heheh, then that's good, that's good. You may all rise," Emperor Tianhui said with a smile. Emperor Tianhui smiled. He didn't look anxious, but the people around him were burning with impatience. All of them were staring at Long Feiye and Han Yunxi, waiting for news.
"Then, did you bring back the Life Blood Pill?" Emperor Tianhui finally asked about business.
Everyone grew nervous at these words, especially Han Congan, who knitted his brows. Inside the room, Gu Beiyue and Crown Prince Long Tianmo both stopped moving to listen in silence.
Long Fei Ye was expressionless. He wasn't anxious like the rest, because the item wasn't in his hands.
Han Yunxi swept her eyes over the crowd, secretly delighted. Making you all wait is worth this wangfei's hard work.
Her gaze swept past Han Congan, who immediately grew alarmed. What does this damned lass mean by this?
Han Yunxi had only delayed for a few seconds, but impatient people couldn't wait.
"Duke of Qin, did you all get the Life Blood Pill?" the empress couldn't help but ask.
Long Fei Ye didn't speak, but glanced towards Han Yunxi. His eyes were telling her to stop before going too far.
All right, Han Yunxi smiled and immediately took out a brocade box from her sleeve. "This is the Life Blood Pill. We got it without a hitch!"
In a flash, everyone's eyes focused on them. Emperor Tianhui didn't dare to be careless, but quickly called out, "Imperial Physician Gu, Imperial Physician Gu, come over here."
Gu Beiyue came out of the room and walked over with quick steps.
"Imperial Physician Gu, this is the Life Blood Pill?" Emperor Tianhui asked seriously.
As soon as he smelled the scent of blood and saw the color, Gu Beiyue was certain. Delighted, he said, "To reply Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, and Esteemed Empress, this really is the Life Blood Pill. The crown prince's illness can be cured. Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!
With Gu Beiyue's confirmation, everyone felt relieved.
But with the Life Blood Pill in hand, it meant that Han Yunxi's treatment was about to begin. Actually, Emperor Tianhui and the empress dowager didn't completely trust Han Yunxi's diagnosis, but they were more willing to believe in Han Yunxi than Han Congan's diagnosis.
Of course, this was also Emperor Tianhui's last chance for the crown prince.
If the crown prince was cured, then everything would be fine. If not, then Emperor Tianhui would have to give up on the crown prince.
The empress was the clearest about this complicated relationship. To Emperor Tianhui, he had many sons, but to the empress, she only had the crown prince as her only son.
She didn't care whether Han Yunxi's diagnosis was right or wrong, or whether the crown prince's stomach was filled with a malignant tumor or a child. She only wanted one result, and that was the crown prince was fine.
"Han Yunxi, then can we detoxify the poison now?" Emperor Tianhui's eyes revealed traces of nervousness.
But Han Yunxi only said, "No."
What? She already had the Life Blood Pill, but it still wasn't enough?
Everyone fell silent at her words. Even Long Fei Ye knitted his brows and looked over …
