Although Long Fei Ye's arrival was sudden, Gu Beiyue remained calm. He stood up and bowed, modest and elegant. "Your Highness Duke of Qin, there must be something important for you to visit so late at night, right?"
"You also believe in Buddhism? What are you praying for? "Long Fei Ye asked again.
"Praying … …" Gu Beiyue thought for a moment, then joked, "Praying for an afterlife."
"This life hasn't ended yet, so why are you in such a rush to seek an afterlife?" Long Fei Ye asked.
Gu Beiyue replied with a smile, "Buddha says that suffering in this life is all for the sake of freedom in the afterlife, so we must endure suffering."
Long Fei Ye gave a cold laugh. "You believe in this kind of foolish Buddha?"
"This one doesn't believe in Buddhism. This one believes in fate. "No matter how sad his words were, Gu Beiyue could always finish them with a smile. If there was an afterlife, he hoped that the Gu Family and the Shadow Clan would have nothing to do with each other. He hoped that he could only be himself.
"Your Highness, do you believe in fate?" he asked softly.
"Fate?" Long Fei Ye had always disdained this kind of thing. "My fate is up to me, not the heavens. This king doesn't believe in anything but myself!"
If he believed in fate, if he obeyed, what would happen to Han Yunxi?
East Qin wasn't his fate, but Han Yunxi was his fate!
"This king will leave South Ning tomorrow," Long Fei Ye said.
"If it is within this one's power, please give your orders, Your Highness." Gu Beiyue was very serious. Han Yunxi had told him many things before, so he knew that Long Fei Ye would also come.
Who would have thought that Long Fei Ye wouldn't tell him anything about the South Central Military Governor's Manor, only telling him one thing. He said, "If this king doesn't leave the Heavenly Mountain on Mid-Autumn Day, you must protect Han Yunxi for this king."
When these words were said, Gu Beiyue's heart, which had been calm his entire life, fiercely skipped a beat. It was especially painful.
He didn't want to believe in fate, but after all the twists and turns, it was fate!
No matter how much his heart hurt, he remained calm. No matter how sad his words were, he would still smile.
"Your Highness Duke of Qin, what do you mean by 'guard'? I'm already half a cripple, and I still need Bodyguard Chu's protection. I can't bear Your Highness's trust. "He asked seriously.
"As long as she trusts you, you can handle it." Long Fei Ye was very certain. "You only need to guard her and don't let her leave South Ning. Wait for this prince to return."
Gu Beiyue understood. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the war-torn three countries should be lacking in provisions. The Commander-In-Chief's manor in Zhongnan was bound to make a big move. If Long Fei Ye could not return, given Han Yunxi's temperament, she would certainly shoulder all of this and would not hesitate to charge and break through enemy lines.
It seemed easy to make Han Yunxi stay in South Ning, but in reality, not only did he need to persuade her, he also needed to help her firmly grasp Cloud Realm's situation in his hands.
Zhongnan's commander-in-chief's manor didn't lack military strength or wealth. What they lacked was a strategist who could see through Long Fei Ye's plans and could catch Long Fei Ye's eye.
Without a doubt, Long Fei Ye had chosen Gu Beiyue the same way as Han Yunxi.
Gu Beiyue didn't hesitate at all. "This one will not refuse! I only hope that Your Highness's trip will go smoothly. "
Gu Beiyue was actually well aware of the situation on Celestial Mountain. He knew everything in the world and could also scheme against it. Everything was in his heart, but he had never revealed it.
Long Fei Ye nodded and turned to leave.
He was only being cautious tonight. He had to do his best to leave Celestial Mountain before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
At this time, Han Yunxi had just left Pill Fiend Pharmacy.
"Mistress, please take me with you. I promise I'll be obedient."
Su Xiaoyu begged the entire way from the rooms, but Baili Mingxiang only said, "Take care." She didn't say anything else.
Han Yunxi couldn't be bothered to reply to Su Xiaoyu, so she waved a hand to cut her off.
"Mistress, Xiaoyu 'er is begging you, Mistress …"
"What are you making so much noise for? The new batch of ingredients is the best of the best. Hurry up and put them away," Mu Ling 'er said as she grabbed Su Xiaoyu by the back of her collar and dragged her to the side.
Su Xiaoyu looked pitifully at Han Yunxi, but Han Yunxi said seriously, "Doctor Gu isn't free right now. You and Mingxiang can stay at Pill Fiend Pharmacy to help out."
"Yes." Baili Mingxiang respectfully curtsied. Su Xiaoyu had no choice but to say, "Oh."
After Han Yunxi left, Mu Ling 'er personally pulled Su Xiaoyu into the room. Unfortunately, not long after, Mu Ling' er wasn't paying attention and Su Xiaoyu snuck out the door to chase after the carriage.
Unfortunately, the sports car sped up and she couldn't catch up. She didn't dare to chase back to the Duke of Qin's estate. The person she feared the most was His Highness Duke of Qin. If His Highness Duke of Qin allowed her to pester esteemed wangfei, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Su Xiaoyu was extremely disappointed. Her head drooped as she walked back, crestfallen. Unexpectedly, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.
"Madame Helian?" She was suspicious.
Just as she was about to take a closer look, the figure had already disappeared into the alley.
"It's so late. Where did she go?" Su Xiaoyu immediately chased after her. Unfortunately, she still didn't see her even when she reached the end of the alley.
"Where did she go?"
She suspiciously raised her head to look at the surrounding rooftops. After looking for a while, she tilted her head to rest on her shoulder. She muttered to herself, "She flew to the rooftops? She can fly? "
Thus, she immediately leaped onto the rooftops. Unfortunately, the surroundings were empty. Not even a shadow could be seen.
She sat on the rooftop and muttered to herself, "Did I recognize the wrong person?"
Soon, she denied her own thoughts. "It's her!"
After thinking for a while, she hesitated. "Is that so?"
In the end, even she was annoyed. She thought to herself that she should find time to go to the Han Estate and personally test Madame Helian. Then she would know whether she had recognized the wrong person or if Madame Helian really was up to something.
As for how to test her, she quickly thought of it.
As the night deepened, the last of the hustle and bustle on the streets quieted down. The entire world seemed to have entered dreamland.
The lights in Leisurely Cloud Pavilion lit up. Han Yunxi stood in front of the pavilion's window sill. She almost couldn't remember how long it had been since she stood here. Standing here, she could see the lights in Long Fei Ye's sleeping quarters.
As always, the lights in his room had been extinguished. She seemed to be addicted to standing and didn't feel sleepy at all. She simply poured herself a cup of tea and drank it slowly while leaning against the window sill to wake herself up.
The stars in the sky were the breath of summer.
Currently, Long Fei Ye hadn't gone to bed, but was still in his study. The Annals of the Seven Noble Families was on his desk, flipped to the page about the Wind Clan and held down by a black sandalwood bookmark.
He was sitting in his chair, leaning back with it until his slender legs rested on the windowsill. His hands were propped up behind his head.
From this angle, he could see Han Yunxi's beautiful figure through the window of Leisurely Cloud Pavilion.
Han Yunxi still didn't know this secret. Of course, she had no idea how many nights she'd spent looking at Long Fei Ye's sleeping quarters while Long Fei Ye stared at her from a distance and pondered over her origins.
Only Chu Xifeng knew that His Highness Duke of Qin, who rarely returned to the Duke of Qin's estate, had been coming home every night.
Han Yunxi, how long did it take you to fall in love with Long Fei Ye?
Long Fei Ye spent countless sleepless nights to fall in love with you …
Han Yunxi didn't know how long she'd been standing there, but she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the bed. In her dreams, she could faintly feel someone scratching her face.
She opened her eyes groggily and saw Long Fei Ye standing by the bed, gently stroking her cheek.
"What did you do last night? Still not getting up? "he looked down at her from above. Actually, she'd closed the windows last night before he went to sleep. He knew everything she'd done.
Frightened, Han Yunxi looked out the window and saw that it was already dawn. If they wanted to leave in secret, they'd have to get up early.
Han Yunxi was about to rise when she covered herself with the covers again. Before she could speak, Long Fei Ye understood and turned to go downstairs. "I'll wait for you to eat downstairs."
Han Yunxi assumed that he'd come up the stairs and silently cursed Zhao mama for not waking her up.
Actually, Zhao mama had been given a fright when Long Fei Ye came down the stairs. Did His Highness Duke of Qin sneak in through the window again last night?
These two masters were so strange. They had such a big sleeping quarters and such a wide, round bed, but they didn't make love. Instead, they squeezed together on the single bed in the little loft. What kind of hobby was that?
By the time Han Yunxi finished washing up and came downstairs, Zhao mama was giving her a dubious look. Han Yunxi found it strange that she was being stared at.
"Is something the matter?" Han Yunxi asked suspiciously.
"No, nothing," Zhao mama shook her head with a smile.
"Then what are you looking at?" Han Yunxi asked next.
"Esteemed wangfei's complexion is pretty good, but you still need to nourish yourself," Zhao mama said with a chuckle.
"My complexion is pretty good. What do I need to nourish myself with?" At the thought of the old hen, Han Yunxi didn't even have the appetite to eat breakfast.
"Nourishing your body. Your Highness is full of vigor and vitality," Zhao mama said in a low voice.
"What does that have to do with nourishing my body …"
Han Yunxi suddenly understood. She narrowed her eyes and was about to teach Zhao mama a lesson when she saw Long Fei Ye walk over. She immediately withered and pretended that nothing had happened.
"Your Highness, the carriage is already waiting at the back door. This old servant has already told Xu Donglin and Uncle Gao about the food and lodging arrangements. The Dongjing River has risen, so we can use the ferry. If we set off today, we'll arrive at the City of Daughters within seven days. "Zhao mama didn't dare to disturb them and retreated.
"What were you talking about just now?" Long Fei Ye asked.
"Nothing." Han Yunxi didn't dare to say anything. She silently ate her breakfast. As she ate, she couldn't help but look at Long Fei Ye. The two words that Zhao mama had just said kept appearing in her mind.
Full of vigor and vitality, vitality …
This guy … does he have that?
Long Fei Ye was clearly eating seriously, but suddenly asked, "What are you looking at?"
"Nothing … I didn't sleep well last night." Han Yunxi didn't have the guts to ask what she was thinking.
Actually, there was no need to ask. She'd experience it for herself in the future.
After breakfast, they arrived at the back door to see Gu Beiyue waiting for them in his wheelchair.
He was dressed in white robes and looked as beautiful as an immortal on Celestial Mountain under the morning sun, untainted by dust.
"Your Highness Duke of Qin, esteemed wangfei, have a smooth journey!" he wished from the bottom of his heart.
He took out the sleeping Lil Thing from his wide sleeves. "Esteemed wangfei, don't leave Lil Thing behind. It's comparable to a fierce general."
Lil Thing had no idea that Mama Yunxi and Papa Long were going to Celestial Mountain. It woke up in a daze and looked at Mama Yunxi, then at the gentleman, before finally resting its gaze on Papa Long.
Although it wasn't as frightened as before, it was still crestfallen. It was about to slip into Mama Yunxi's sleeves when it caught sight of the carriage and realized that Mama Yunxi was about to set off.
Although it didn't want to part with the gentleman, it should return to Mama Yunxi's side. Its first duty was to protect Mama Yunxi!
Lil Thing waved at Gu Beiyue, causing Gu Beiyue to laugh and wave back. When Lil Thing saw Gu Beiyue's smile, it wanted to wave at him until the end of time.
But it was afraid of Papa Long and didn't dare to wave for long. Soon enough, it hid in the medical pouch.
Before they left, Han Yunxi said, "Gu Beiyue, when we come back, will you still be here to receive us? Stand and receive us! "
"No," Gu Beiyue said seriously. "This one will stand by the city gates and wait. Please come back safely!"
