Han Yunxi was such a sharp person!
Cold as she scrutinized Chu Xifeng, she could smell the scent of hatred. It was precisely this taste of hatred that was like a basin of cold water pouring down from the top of her head, drenching her thoroughly. It also made her completely calm down from her chaotic thoughts.
Long Fei Ye was the East Qin crown prince, while she was the orphan of Western Qin. Eastern and Western Qin had irreconcilable enmity between them!
Actually, she wasn't the real "Han Yunxi," so she couldn't sense any hatred. But Long Fei Ye was different!
Long Fei Ye had known since he was a child that he wasn't the real Tianning imperial prince. Moreover, his imperial mother had long been cultivating Beauty's Blood in hopes of breaking through the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion and taking over the world. All of this proved that Long Fei Ye had been shouldering the heavy responsibility of avenging his country since he was a child. All of his years of hard work had been for the sake of hoisting the East Qin banner and conquering the world one day!
Most of his most loyal subordinates who knew his background like the back of their hands were most likely loyal to the East Qin Imperial Family! Whether it was the Baili Army, the Shadow Guard, or the Tang Clan.
It'd be strange if Chu Xifeng didn't hate her!
Although Han Yunxi couldn't sense West Qin's hatred towards East Qin, she could understand the feelings of national enmity and family hatred. She too cherished her motherland and hated all those invaders, plunderers, and murderers throughout history!
Seeing the enmity in Chu Xifeng's eyes, Han Yunxi's head was filled with thoughts. All she cared about was the truth.
Did Long Fei Ye know about her identity long ago? That was why she was in such a rush to find Mu Ling 'er!
Long Fei Ye had been investigating her identity all this time. He'd found out about Lady Mu Xin from the Mu Clan in Medicine City. Today's news from Dragon Sky Continent had mentioned the Mu Clan's Mu Xin and confirmed that she was a descendant of Western Qin's imperial clan.
This coincidence, combined with Mu Ling 'er's accusation of blocking the carriage, made it hard for her not to think of Mute Granny!
Mute Granny was definitely the one who knew the truth the best.
If Long Fei Ye had known about her identity, he could have easily shut Mute Granny's mouth to hide it from her. If that was really the case, what was Long Fei Ye's intention towards her? What was the purpose of Long Fei Ye cooperating with Gu Beiyue?
There was also another possibility. Mute Granny's case had nothing to do with Long Fei Ye. Long Fei Ye also didn't know about her past.
However, this possibility also made Han Yunxi feel even more helpless and desperate!
How could the East Qin Crown Prince fall in love with a descendant of the Western Qin Royal Family? Was Long Fei Ye regretting at this moment, regretting that he had taken the initiative to come to her?
What was the truth?
She hated doubts and suspicions. She only wanted the truth! Whether it was hurt, anger, hatred, resentment, or willingness to love to the end, they all needed the truth.
Only after knowing the truth would they have a choice. Otherwise, she'd be led around like an idiot. She hated this feeling.
This was her last chance to calm down.
Long Fei Ye, ah, Long Fei Ye. At least, you know who you are! But what about me?
Han Yunxi thought of Gu Beiyue, the descendant of the Shadow Clan and Western Qin's most loyal supporter. Gu Beiyue, how much do you know? How much have you lied to me?
"Chu Xifeng, are you planning to rebel against your superiors?" Han Yunxi sounded like she was questioning him, but she was actually probing him.
"Rebel? Western Qin spawn, you're not worthy! "Chu Xifeng gave a cold snort.
Not long ago, he'd been trying to explain things to her in a submissive tone, afraid that she'd misunderstand Long Fei Ye. But now his attitude had changed 180 degrees. How much did he hate the Western Qin Royal Family?!
"I want to see Long Fei Ye. Where is he?" Han Yunxi said Cold.
"Don't worry, His Highness will definitely come to see you one last time!" Chu Xifeng said Cold.
"Long Fei Ye … Long Fei Ye knew about my identity long ago? He's been lying to me this entire time? "Han Yunxi suppressed her anger as she probed again.
Chu Xifeng hesitated, but still insisted, "Yes!"
Han Yunxi couldn't restrain her anger. She turned to enter the room and slammed the door shut. She paced back and forth in the room, unsure of how much longer she could hold out.
Outside, Xu Donglin asked in a low voice, "Boss, you … how could you do this? You lied to esteemed wangfei! "
Actually, they'd been stunned when they heard the news as well. They had no idea whether His Highness Duke of Qin had known about esteemed wangfei's identity long ago.
"I didn't lie to her. His Highness must have known everything long ago. Otherwise, why would he work with Gu Beiyue? If His Highness isn't in the army, then he must be in Medical City! "Chu Xifeng replied.
As he saw it, His Highness was only working with Gu Beiyue to use Gu Beiyue. How could His Highness Duke of Qin ever rely on or value a member of the Shadow Clan? He was simply inviting a wolf into the house!
Actually, he'd always harbored suspicions about His Highness Duke of Qin after Gu Beiyue's assassination attempt, but he never dared to voice his suspicions. Moreover, as a subordinate, he had to do his best to persuade his mistress.
But things were different now! Han Yunxi's identity perfectly explained His Highness Duke of Qin's strange behavior!
Now he was certain that the dark-robed assassin was His Highness. His Highness must have known about Han Yunxi's identity long ago. He must have hidden his identity to assassinate Gu Beiyue because he wanted to keep using Han Yunxi.
Unfortunately, Han Yunxi happened to see him that night.
Xu Donglin shook his head. He didn't agree with Chu Xifeng's guesses. "Boss, if that's the case, why did His Highness hide it from you? Why hasn't he shown himself yet? "
It was normal for His Highness Duke of Qin to hide the fact that Chu Xifeng was the head of the Shadow Guard, but he shouldn't have hidden it from Chu Xifeng!
Chu Xifeng was clearly using his position to avenge a personal grudge.
Chu Xifeng grew angry from embarrassment and gave a cold snort. "No matter what, she's our East Qin's enemy! And His Highness's enemy! Perhaps she knew everything long ago and snuck into His Highness's side! Don't forget, she was the one who showed up at the wedding herself! "
"Boss, don't act rashly. Let's wait for His Highness's reply before we discuss it." Xu Donglin murmured. Although he was shocked by esteemed wangfei's identity, he still remembered how well she treated the Shadow Guard!
Inside the room.
Han Yunxi was staring blankly at the pinkish-purple letter. "Han Yunxi, do you still believe it?"
She muttered to herself. "Long Fei Ye, what should I believe in you?"
She'd replied to his empty letter because she wanted to imitate his previous one. She was telling him that her feelings for him were the same as his feelings for her.
On the night of Gu Beiyue's assassination, Lil Thing had bitten the dark-robed assassin's shoulder. Although Lil Thing's fangs hadn't recovered yet, she'd long smeared Blood at Dawn on Lil Thing's fangs before coming to Medical City. She hoped it'd be an extra helper in times of danger.
It would only take one night for "Blood at Dawn" to take effect.
Blood at Dawn was a new poison from the poison pond. It was very similar to Throat Sealing at Dawn, a commonly used poison in the poison world. It was impossible to tell the difference without careful examination.
But there was a world of difference between their antidotes!
There was only one antidote for Blood at Dawn, and it was in her hands. On the other hand, the antidote for Throat Sealing at Dawn was very easy to buy.
If the dark-robed assassin was Long Fei Ye, he'd quickly discover that the antidote for Throat Sealing at Dawn was ineffective. If he didn't come to her for the antidote, he'd definitely die.
If the dark-robed assassin wasn't Long Fei Ye, he'd definitely come to her door to ask for the antidote. Who wasn't afraid of death?
The assassin had remained silent until now. No matter how powerful an expert was, it was impossible to detoxify this new type of poison in a single night. Moreover, she'd paid attention to the dark-robed assassin's shoulder that night and hadn't noticed any signs of poisoning.
Han Yunxi had long suspected who the assassin was and how he'd managed to detoxify the poison in an instant. She was also certain that the culprit had used Celestial Mountain's swordsmanship techniques to exploit Gu Beiyue's death and sow discord between her and Long Fei Ye.
She hadn't said anything because she wanted to beat Long Fei Ye at his own game and lure the snake out of its hole. Secondly, she was still angry at Long Fei Ye. She couldn't accept the fact that Long Fei Ye hadn't told his wife a single thing before announcing his identity to the public!
She'd been waiting for him to give her an explanation this entire time.
But who knew that she'd received such terrifying news instead? She was actually a descendant of Western Qin's imperial clan!
She dearly wished that the news was fake, but how could anyone else know about the phoenix birthmark on her back? Someone must have found out about her identity and confirmed that she had a birthmark on her back.
She forced herself to stay calm and collected as she waited for the truth.
Chu Xifeng's words had given her the answer she wanted.
If her identity hadn't been exposed, would Chu Xifeng and Xu Donglin have continued to help Long Fei Ye explain things and help Long Fei Ye keep up the act?
Even if … even if it wasn't Long Fei Ye who'd tried to assassinate Gu Beiyue, as the East Qin crown prince, Long Fei Ye had deceived Gu Beiyue and her. What kind of good intentions did he have?
If he wasn't using her, then what was he?
She'd once stood by the window of Leisurely Cloud Pavilion and imagined countless times what kind of woman he'd treat with sincerity and tenderness like water.
She'd even believed that lucky woman was herself.
But in the end, it was all just a show of using her!
What a fool!
Was it fated that the princess of Western Qin would never be treated with sincerity by him?
Han Yunxi gently lifted her sleeve and looked at the cinnabar mark on her arm. She seemed to understand something and smiled bitterly.
After being married for four years, this cinnabar mark was probably his true feelings for her.
He'd rejected her with all his heart!
Her heart was about to break, but Han Yunxi didn't cry. She didn't complain, but only felt bitter and self-mocking.
Even when it came to love, she was still stubborn and strong in her bones.
She stuffed the pink letter under the teapot and went to open the door, only to find it locked from the outside.
"Chu Xifeng, open the door!"
"Chu Xifeng!"
… …
There was clearly someone outside the door, but no one answered her no matter how hard she knocked.
So be it.
She'd wait!
Even if she'd been deceived and used, she still had a question to ask Long Fei Ye face to face. She wanted to know everything.
Even if my world is about to collapse, I'll wait until I get his answer. Then it'll collapse completely and be destroyed!
Actually, the hardest thing to endure wasn't falling apart, but being rational.
Sometimes, falling apart was a form of release. Han Yunxi didn't cry or make a fuss. Sitting quietly in her room and waiting was the greatest torment of her life.
She was just this kind of woman. Even in desperate straits, she could keep her cool.
If such a woman really collapsed one day, what kind of scene would it be?
Han Yunxi was waiting for Long Fei Ye, while Chu Xifeng was waiting for Long Fei Ye.
Luo Zuishan was burning with anxiety as he tried to find a way to hire people, hoping to find a high level expert to avoid the Shadow Guard on the cliff and enter the abyss to tell Gu and Mu Ling 'er everything.
Gu and Mu Ling 'er were in the abyss, not daring to waste a second in their search. They had no idea how much of Cloud Realm Continent had boiled over.
When night fell, the sound of firecrackers rose from outside the medical academy. Very soon, beautiful fireworks bloomed in the air, making it impossible to tell who was celebrating.
Chu Xifeng and Xu Donglin sat by the door in silence. Both of them were very disappointed. They had no idea that the sound of the fireworks had been heard.
They didn't know that someone had lifted the roof tiles and snuck into the room …
