When Su Xiaoyu opened the door, she was stunned for a moment before she cried out in surprise, "Master!"
Zhao mama and Baili Mingxiang both called Han Yunxi 'Her Highness the Princess Consort'. Su Xiaoyu used to call her that as well, but one day after she lost her memory, she suddenly stopped calling Han Yunxi 'Her Highness the Princess Consort' and started calling her 'Master'.
She didn't care about Han Yunxi's identity. She only knew that Han Yunxi was her savior.
She rushed out in disbelief and circled around Han Yunxi, sizing her up from head to toe. "Master, you're finally back? You've lost a lot of weight. "
Her tone, expression, and gaze didn't match her age at all. She was so mature that she could compete with Zhao mama. Fortunately, she didn't have Zhao mama's nagging and she didn't know how to make chicken soup.
"You're the one who's lost a lot of weight!"
If the Long Fei Ye heard this, Zhao mama's stew would probably be busy again. Han Yunxi knocked Su Xiaoyu's forehead. "Did you do anything bad during this time?"
Su Xiaoyu blinked her large eyes and was about to answer when she suddenly exclaimed, "Baili Mingxiang, are you crying? Although the masters are back, do you have to be this excited? "
Baili Mingxiang knew that this girl was putting on an act and that her words were full of thorns.
She smiled and took advantage of the situation. "Of course I'm excited that Her Highness the Princess Consort is back."
"So you're not excited that His Highness Duke of Qin is back? Hmph, I'll tell His Highness Duke of Qin! "Su Xiaoyu jokingly threatened.
Baili Mingxiang was about to explain when Han Yunxi stopped them.
As Baili Mingxiang, Han Yunxi didn't want Su Xiaoyu to know about her mother's death anniversary, so she didn't say much. She only instructed, "You two be quiet. Don't wake Zhao mama up. Go to sleep."
Baili Mingxiang chased after her and asked, "Esteemed Wangfei, this servant will bring you some snacks. What do you want to eat?"
"Mistress, I'll make your favorite mango drink. It'll be ready soon. You rest first!" Su Xiaoyu said and went to the kitchen.
Baili Mingxiang felt helpless. Han Yunxi asked her to come in and sit down.
"Has Pill Fiend Pharmacy been doing well recently?" Han Yunxi asked seriously.
Pill Fiend Pharmacy was originally managed by Gu Beiyue, but after Gu Beiyue left, it was handed over to Mu Ling 'er. Since Mu Ling' er had left for a while, most of the matters in the pharmacy had fallen to Baili Mingxiang.
Baili Mingxiang wasn't as capable as Mu Ling 'er, but when it came to other matters, Baili Mingxiang was much more reliable than Mu Ling' er.
"Esteemed Wangfei, everything in the pharmacy is going well. Medicine City is supplying medicine on time, and all of the branches are running smoothly. It's just that a lot of merchants have come to see us recently to discuss large business deals," Baili Mingxiang reported truthfully.
Han Yunxi sneered, "Wouldn't they go to Medicine City to discuss large business deals? Why would they go to Pill Fiend Pharmacy? "
Baili Mingxiang smiled, "Who else would Medicine City do business with besides Pill Fiend Pharmacy?"
Han Yunxi also smiled, "The western region is in chaos. If these people don't want to sell medicine there, then they're from the military. They're here to prepare medicine."
"Then we won't sell!"
Baili Mingxiang understood, but Han Yunxi said seriously, "There's no such thing as not selling medicine in this world. Pill Fiend Pharmacy is not Medicine Ghost Valley. We'll sell them as much as they want, as long as they can afford the price! "
The war in the western regions had just begun, so the three nations should still have plenty of medicine in stock. If they were in a rush to prepare medicine so early, then it had to be Ning Cheng! Cloud Realm Trade Consortium had plenty of silver, so why wouldn't she take the chance to extort them?
"This servant understands!"
Baili Mingxiang smiled, his red eyes bright and beautiful. Han Yunxi looked at Baili Mingxiang and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. "You're not destined to be a servant girl. You might as well be a shopkeeper at Pill Fiend Pharmacy in the future. Don't stay here to serve tea."
Baili Mingxiang sprang to his feet. "No! Esteemed Wangfei, we already agreed that you'd save Mingxiang's life, so Mingxiang would serve you for the rest of my life. "
Han Yunxi felt a little helpless. Actually, she quite liked having Baili Mingxiang by her side. Compared to Su Xiaoyu, Baili Mingxiang knew how to take care of the big picture and knew when to advance and retreat. Compared to Zhao mama, Baili Mingxiang was younger and more flexible. She needed servants like this by her side.
But Baili Mingxiang had more than just these advantages. It was a pity that she was only a servant girl. In the end, she was still the young miss of the Baili Clan!
Han Yunxi had agreed to keep Baili Mingxiang by her side because she thought that Baili Mingxiang would grow tired of suffering and grow lonely. Who knew that she'd stay for so long?
Baili Mingxiang's words were overheard by Su Xiaoyu as she entered the room. Su Xiaoyu came over with a mango drink and said Coldly, "Baili Mingxiang, don't you understand that master is chasing you away?"
Han Yunxi glared at her and said Coldly, "Are you asking for a beating?"
Su Xiaoyu pursed her lips and offered up the mango drink. "If Master wants to beat you, she'll have to fill her stomach first."
"Esteemed Wangfei, this servant will take her leave first." Baili Mingxiang didn't want to stay any longer. She was afraid that Su Xiaoyu wouldn't be able to hold back and reveal her secret.
Although she had never admitted to it, as long as Su Xiaoyu revealed it, she wouldn't have the face to stay in the Duke of Qin's Estate. She wouldn't even have the face to stay in the Baili Clan.
Han Yunxi was tired as well. After downing the mango drink in large gulps, she had Su Xiaoyu withdraw as well, but the girl only murmured, "Mistress, if you want her to leave, why do you have to be so ruthless? Do you want me to help you?"
"Who said I'm chasing her away? I just want her to be the shopkeeper of Pill Fiend Pharmacy. If you don't watch your mouth, I'll sew it up for you! "Han Yunxi narrowed her eyes as she coldly warned.
"If you sew it up, I won't be able to speak. Can you change it to something else?" Su Xiaoyu chuckled as if she was joking. In reality, she swore to herself that she would definitely scheme to chase Baili Mingxiang away. Therefore, she wanted to know what kind of punishment she would face when the time came so that she could mentally prepare herself.
Han Yunxi was still tired and didn't answer. Instead, she walked up to the loft.
Su Xiaoyu hurriedly pulled her back. "Master, just …"
Before she could finish speaking, Han Yunxi interrupted her. "If I chase you away, what will you think?"
Su Xiaoyu immediately became agitated. She grabbed Han Yunxi's hand so tightly that it hurt Han Yunxi.
"Little Yu 'er's life was saved by Master. Little Yu' er will live and die as Master's ghost. In life or death, Little Yu 'er will never leave Master's side!"
Han Yunxi had just returned from the eerie bamboo forest after seeing a pile of corpses. Hearing about ghosts and whatnot made her hair stand on end. She rolled her eyes at Su Xiaoyu. "Let go!"
Su Xiaoyu became even more nervous. "Master, if you chase Little Yu 'er away, Little Yu' er won't live anymore! I mean what I say! "
"Then what right do you have to chase Baili Mingxiang away?" Han Yunxi countered with a question.
"I … I …" It wasn't that Su Xiaoyu didn't have a reason. She just didn't want to say it.
Everyone in the world thought that Qin Wangfei was the smartest woman in Cloud Realm, but in her eyes, her master was the stupidest woman in Cloud Realm. She couldn't even tell that Baili Mingxiang liked His Highness Duke of Qin and even kept her by her side.
"You're still not letting go?" Han Yunxi was dead tired.
Leisurely Cloud Pavilion was a place for her to clear her mind. Why did she feel so vexed the moment she returned?
No matter how bold Su Xiaoyu was, she didn't dare to be more unreasonable than Han Yunxi. She could only obediently let go.
The next day, Han Yunxi wanted to sleep in, but who knew that she would be woken up by Zhao mama early in the morning. Zhao mama didn't dare to go upstairs, so she shouted from the staircase, "Esteemed Wangfei, are you awake?"
"Esteemed Wangfei, when did you come back? Why didn't you say anything? This old servant could've gone to buy an old hen to make soup! "
"Esteemed Wangfei, are you awake? This old servant made His Highness's favorite breakfast. His Highness hasn't woken up yet. Why don't you go over and wake him up? "
Han Yunxi covered her head and pretended to be asleep. But when she heard this, she immediately lifted the covers and got out of bed.
Wake Long Fei Ye up? That's a must! Definitely a must!
She quickly washed up and went downstairs. When Zhao mama saw her, her reaction was the same as Su Xiaoyu's last night. Zhao mama was overjoyed. She looked her up and down and finally said, "Esteemed Wangfei, you've lost weight!"
Han Yunxi immediately covered her mouth. Coldly, she warned, "If you say the word 'lose weight' again, I'll send you to the countryside to retire as hens!"
She didn't lose weight at all. She couldn't lose weight when she was with Long Fei Ye.
She felt that she didn't lose to Duanmu Yao in terms of looks, but she wasn't as skinny as Duanmu Yao. Losing weight was a big problem in her heart.
Zhao mama was frightened and nodded repeatedly. Only then did Han Yunxi release her. "Go prepare breakfast first. I'll go wake Long Fei Ye up."
It had to be said that Zhao mama was not used to hearing esteemed wangfei directly call His Highness by his name.
Su Xiaoyu glanced at Baili Mingxiang and chuckled. "Only Master can call His Highness by his name. Do you know why?"
"Nonsense, because His Highness only allows esteemed wangfei to call him that."
Zhao mama was grinning from ear to ear. She always felt that her days were meaningless when her two masters weren't at home. Now that her two masters were back, she could busy herself in the kitchens again.
"Baili Mingxiang, what do you think?" Su Xiaoyu was clearly doing this on purpose.
"Because His Highness only loves esteemed wangfei." Baili Mingxiang was very serious. She continued, "Don't go to Pill Fiend Pharmacy today. Stay here and wait upon esteemed wangfei and His Highness. I'm leaving."
She really did leave without hesitation. Unfortunately, Su Xiaoyu still snorted at her.
Although Han Yunxi hadn't slept enough, she was still in good spirits.
When she arrived at the door to Long Fei Ye's sleeping quarters, she discovered that the door was locked from the inside and she couldn't enter. She knocked on the door a few times, but there was no response at all.
Han Yunxi thought that Long Fei Ye's sleeping quarters were so big that he might not be able to hear her knocking. It wasn't easy for her to wake up earlier than him and wake him up, but it was gone just like that.
Actually, she was wrong.
Long Fei Ye had always been very vigilant. Even when he was asleep, he still maintained a high level of vigilance. He was aware of every movement around his sleeping quarters.
Just as she was about to leave, the Shadow Guard appeared. "Greetings, esteemed wangfei."
"Is His Highness still asleep?" She asked casually.
"His Highness is at the ancestral hall," the Shadow Guard replied truthfully.
That guy woke up so early. Did he find a new clue?
Han Yunxi had just arrived at the bamboo forest when she saw Long Fei Ye coming out to greet her.
"You found a clue?" she asked anxiously.
Long Fei Ye tossed her a letter that shocked Han Yunxi. "A blackmail letter?"
Actually, she was more inclined to believe that the empress dowager of Tian An Country had hired assassins to kidnap Grand Concubine Yi so she could figure out Long Fei Ye's origins.
But she never expected to receive a blackmail letter. So this had nothing to do with Long Fei Ye's origins?
Han Yunxi opened the letter and read, "Three days after noon, bring the Profound Frost Sword to Lost Void Lake to redeem the person. You're only allowed to come alone. If you don't meet the deadline, you'll have to bear the consequences!"
"What bold words!" Han Yunxi said Cold. "Just who is it?!"
