Su Xiaoyu wasn't here, so the cold eyes that were examining Baili Mingxiang were her own. How could she not know that this was an opportunity that could only be encountered by chance? Even if she couldn't treat His Highness Duke of Qin, she would be satisfied to be able to serve him. Or rather, even if she didn't serve him, as long as she could watch him from afar, she would die without regrets.
But she couldn't!
She wasn't willing to let her greed stain the purest faith in her heart, the purest unrequited love.
She looked at Gu Beiyue and discovered that Gu Beiyue was also looking at her.
Gu Beiyue, do you understand? Do you really understand?
A child's intuition was the most accurate, and a child's eyes were the sharpest. That was why Su Xiaoyu had seen through him.
But what about Gu Beiyue?
If she couldn't hide it from him, if they were truly in the same boat, why didn't he understand? Why did he still want to send her to Celestial Mountain?
That shouldn't be the case!
Actually, this was a form of harm.
Baili Mingxiang took a step forward and bowed. "Esteemed wangfei, Imperial Physician Gu, Mingxiang is untalented. I'm afraid I won't be able to learn acupuncture techniques, so I ask that the two of you find someone else to entrust this heavy responsibility to."
She refused!
Before Han Yunxi could speak, Gu Beiyue said, "No matter. This one guarantees that I can teach you in two days. This one has already discussed this with His Highness Duke of Qin. You're the most suitable candidate. "
Baili Mingxiang was stunned. This was actually His Highness Duke of Qin's intention?
Han Yunxi was also surprised. "You've already discussed this?"
"His Highness Duke of Qin originally wanted esteemed wangfei to return to Celestial Mountain, but unfortunately … I'm afraid that esteemed wangfei will have to follow us to Medical City," Gu Beiyue said seriously.
If someone else had said this, Han Yunxi might have hesitated, but she had never doubted Gu Beiyue's words.
"Esteemed Wangfei, Miss Mingxiang is truly the most suitable candidate," Gu Beiyue added.
Han Yunxi immediately thought of Baili Mingxiang because she was the most suitable candidate.
Firstly, Baili Mingxiang had learned a lot of acupuncture techniques from Gu Beiyue. She was talented and had a good foundation.
Secondly, the most important thing was that she was Long Fei Ye's confidante. If there was a traitor, who else would he look for other than the Baili Clan? The people of the Hundred Lane Clan were the least likely to betray Long Fei Ye. And, Long Fei Ye was seriously injured at the moment. So, they couldn't afford to make even the slightest mistake. Moreover, they couldn't afford to leak any information.
If Han Yunxi wanted to find someone who could quickly learn the needle techniques and be absolutely loyal to Long Feiye, she wouldn't be able to find anyone.
Of course, Mu Ling'er was also a candidate, but Mu Ling'er still had to manage Pill Fiend Pharmacy. Moreover, that girl was deathly afraid of Long Fei Ye and would never accept this task. They also didn't have the right to order her around.
"Mingxiang, you won't obey my orders, but are you going to defy His Highness' orders? Do you want me to invite your father over? "Han Yunxi asked teasingly.
Baili Mingxiang had nothing to say. She was at a loss, and her heart was filled with apprehension and unease.
She didn't say anything, so Gu Beiyue took it as her agreement. "Miss Mingxiang, go back and rest early. Come to my place tomorrow morning to learn acupuncture."
"Alright." Baili Mingxiang turned to Han Yunxi and said, "Since esteemed wangfei trusts me so much, Mingxiang definitely won't disappoint esteemed wangfei."
Han Yunxi nodded and muttered, "He's really been seriously injured this time. I can only hope that he recovers quickly …"
Before Baili Mingxiang left, she asked, "Esteemed wangfei, is there any news of little Yu 'er?"
Although she'd felt like someone was watching her every day when Su Xiaoyu was still around, she'd been mocked and ridiculed every now and then. But the girl had been missing for so long that the Duke of Qin's estate was so quiet that she wasn't used to it.
Han Yunxi sighed softly. "I'm still looking for her. Don't worry, rest early and focus on your acupuncture lessons tomorrow."
After Baili Mingxiang left, only Gu, Gu Beiyue, and Chu Xifeng were left in the room. Han Yunxi asked, "Doctor Gu, where did you get this poison?"
Gu Beiyue took out a poisoned needle and said, "It was an assassination. It didn't seem like they wanted to kill me, but lure esteemed wangfei down the mountain. "
Han Yunxi immediately looked towards Chu Xifeng, who hastily reported, "There are two possibilities. One, an expert snuck in and avoided our defenses; two, there might be spies among the people in the estate! Either way, this person must be in cahoots with the spies on Celestial Mountain. They knew His Highness Duke of Qin was heavily injured and lured esteemed wangfei down the mountain to incite discord in Carefree City against esteemed wangfei. "
Chu Xifeng's words were exactly what Han Yunxi had guessed over the past few days.
"Could this person be the one who kidnapped Su Xiaoyu? Why did they kidnap little Yu 'er? "Han Yunxi didn't understand.
Little Yu 'er had been missing for a long time. If these people wanted to take her hostage for ransom, shouldn't they have made a move by now?
Chu Xifeng didn't answer, but said seriously, "Esteemed wangfei, the enemy is in the shadows while we're in the light. It's better to be cautious. His Highness must have a plan to deal with the spies. Medical City is more important right now. This subordinate will send more men to protect you all there. "
Gu, who had been silent all night, gave a soft snort at these words. "Save it!"
Chu Xifeng wasn't convinced and glared at him. Before the two of them could start arguing, Gu Beiyue cut them off. "Everyone, it's getting late. Let's all rest. Esteemed wangfei must be tired from the carriage ride, so hurry and go back."
Han Yunxi really was tired. There was still a pile of things to do tomorrow. She and Gu Beiyue were both leaving, while General Baili was preparing to send out troops. They had to make proper arrangements for the south central regions' commander-in-chief's estate.
They couldn't let the rear be emptied out while they fought on the frontlines! Fortunately, General Baili's sons were all capable. For the time being, they could still intimidate the five great clans with their military might.
Han Yunxi didn't return to the Leisurely Cloud Pavilion, but went to Long Fei Ye's quarters.
Besides their wedding night, she'd never spent a night in his quarters. Tonight, she'd only come because she coveted the scent he'd left behind in the palace. She hoped that the familiar scent would give her a good night's sleep.
Actually, she was long tired, but not sleepy.
After Granny Zhao lit the lamp, she asked Granny Zhao to leave. She wandered around the empty palace by herself. Everything in this quarters was the same as the one in Tianning's capital city.
Han Yunxi wasn't sure if Long Fei Ye was nostalgic and used to living here, or if he was too lazy to get used to his new quarters.
When she'd married into the Duke of Qin's estate and been brought to his quarters, she'd done the same thing as now. But her feelings were completely different then.
Back then, she'd been fearful, cautious, and curious. Now, she only felt longing.
Perhaps it was because he hadn't lived here for too long, but she couldn't find any familiar scent. Even the luxurious silk quilt on the wide bed didn't give her any warmth to feel at ease.
Han Yunxi curled up in the quilt by herself, unable to fall asleep no matter how hard she tried. She secretly laughed at herself for "recognizing the bed!"
But how could she recognize the bed?
Even in the carriage, on horseback, and in his arms, she could still fall asleep. She clearly "recognized the person!"
Since she wasn't sleepy at all, she decided not to sleep. Instead, she lay on her back and stared at the ceiling. Did Long Fei Ye toss and turn like this when he slept here? Did he stare at the same ceiling? What did he look like when he was asleep? What kind of sleeping position was he used to? Did he sleep on his back, on his side, or on his stomach? Was he more used to sleeping on his left or right side?
Han Yunxi wasn't sleepy at all, but her thoughts were running wild. She rolled to her right side to lie on her stomach, then rolled to her left side to lie on her back.
If only he was here, how good would that be!
After tossing and turning, Han Yunxi finally got off the bed. She really, really missed Long Fei Ye.
At night, people would become emotional.
She came to the study and found that the chair behind the desk was facing the window. No one would dare to touch anything here. She was afraid that Long Fei Ye sat with his back to the desk last time.
She didn't understand why he was sitting with his back to the desk. Was there anything to see outside the window?
She didn't think too much about it. She straightened the chair and sat down. She picked up the brush and wrote a letter. Thousands of thoughts, thousands of words, and surging longing all gathered at the tip of the brush, but only six words were left on the paper.
It didn't have the talent and tactfulness of the ancients, but it was the most moving confession in the world. "Long Fei Ye, I miss you."
She folded the letter neatly and put it in the envelope, signing the word "Xi". She opened the window and wanted to summon an eagle to deliver the letter. However, the moment she opened the window behind her, she was stunned. Soon, her eyes were filled with tears. Tears welled up in her eyes and almost fell.
Looking at the scene in front of her, her past hardships, grievances, torment, and even her inferiority complex seemed to disappear.
For the first time, she truly felt that her love … wasn't humble at all!
After staring blankly for a long time, Han Yunxi put the chair back to its original position. She sat down and looked out the window. She just happened to see the window of the Leisurely Cloud Pavilion. Under the bright moon, even without the lights, the Leisurely Cloud Pavilion was clearly visible.
Countless nights, she stood there alone and stared blankly at the lights in his bedroom. She always admitted that she fell in love with that man first, but she didn't expect that he had always been watching over her in a corner that she couldn't see.
"Long Fei Ye … you fool!" Han Yunxi smiled bitterly.
It was only now that she realized why he had built another Duke of Qin's Manor, another sleeping palace, and another Leisurely Cloud Pavilion without moving a single blade of grass or tree. So … so it was all for this coincidental angle of view, this angle of view that she was unaware of.
Long Fei Ye, you and I, who is more humble?
Perhaps we are both humble, willing to lower our heads and condescend to each other.
Han Yunxi opened the letter again and added, "Long Fei Ye, you fool." Then she summoned an eagle to send the letter out.
That night, she sat on the chair and stared at the window of the Leisurely Cloud Pavilion. Unknowingly, she fell asleep.
For countless nights, Long Fei Ye also leaned on the chair and stared at the beautiful figure in the Leisurely Cloud Pavilion as he fell asleep.
After Han Yunxi fell asleep, Lil Thing secretly slipped out of the poison storage space. Han Yunxi could vaguely sense it, but she didn't make a sound. She knew that Lil Thing hadn't returned to South Ning for a long time, so it must have gone to find Gu Beiyue.
If not for the fact that Gu Beiyue didn't know how to cure poisons, she would have suspected that Gu Beiyue was also from the Poison Sect. Why did Lil Thing like him so much?
However, Gu Beiyue was truly likable. His temperament was clean and clean, and his personality was very gentle. Being with him didn't bring about any great joys or sorrows, but it was very comfortable. It was like basking in the sun on a winter day. Unknowingly, a lifetime passed …
