Through a private passageway, they entered the heart of the Three-Way Black Market without any obstructions. Han Yunxi realized that Long Fei Ye had quite a bit of influence here. When she saw the words "East Origin Hall", she couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Purple Qi from the East …"
She sat in her wheelchair and looked back at Long Feiye in astonishment. Long Feiye smoothed out her bangs and didn't say a word as he personally pushed her inside.
Very soon, Han Yunxi saw that the two sides were filled with servants. All of them were bowing respectfully and didn't even dare to raise their heads.
If Han Yunxi still couldn't see the truth, then she'd be an idiot. Today, she finally had an answer to the questions she'd never been able to figure out.
Long Fei Ye had never taken money from Tianning's imperial clan or enjoyed an official salary from the court. Moreover, the rewards he'd received after the previous emperor's death were very limited. How could he have so many properties in the wealthiest Jiangnan? How could he have so many gold cards in his hands? Why was he always so extravagant when he gave her gifts?
As it turned out, the reason lay in this East Origin Hall.
Ever since the grain scandal in Tianning's black markets, Han Yunxi had done her research on the Three-Way Black Market. Of course she'd heard of East Origin Hall's prestige. East Origin Hall's wealth in the Three-Way Black Market had long surpassed Myriad Merchant Hall, who'd been in charge of the market for many years. But she never would've guessed that Long Fei Ye was the master of East Origin Hall.
Now it looked like Long Fei Ye was the richest man in both public and private assets!
Han Yunxi couldn't help but turn back to look at Long Fei Ye.
"What are you looking at?" Long Fei Ye asked mildly.
"Why didn't you tell me you were so rich?" Han Yunxi asked with a smile.
"I forgot."
Han Yunxi was left speechless by Long Fei Ye's reply.
"Are you afraid that I'm greedy for your money and don't really like you?" Han Yunxi asked jokingly.
Long Fei Ye only ignored Han Yunxi's jokes. He retorted, "Then are you greedy?"
"Yes!" Han Yunxi nodded immediately.
Without another word, Long Fei Ye took out a key from his sleeve and handed it to Han Yunxi. "For you."
On the side, Xu Donglin and Baili Mingxiang were both stunned. Long His Highness doted on the princess, but they never expected him to spoil her so much!
That key was the key to the East Origin Palace's treasury. Before the East Qin Empire was restored, the East Origin Palace's treasury was equivalent to the East Qin Empire's national treasury! Over the years, besides the limited subsidies the Tianning court gave to the Baili Navy, all of East Qin's expenses came from this treasury.
Xu Donglin immediately thought of Tang Zijin, Aunt Ru, and General Baili's stern faces. If they knew of His Highness's actions, who knew what their expressions would look like?
Baili Mingxiang looked at His Highness's tall figure from behind, his heart filled with complicated feelings. When they first met, he never expected that the cold and detached man could dote on a woman so unconditionally.
Long Fei Ye had long pushed Han Yunxi away. Han Yunxi looked at the key and asked in a low voice, "Is it from the treasury?"
"It's from the treasury. Keep it well," Long Fei Ye said lightly, as if he was just chatting idly.
Han Yunxi was scared out of her wits and quickly returned the key to him. "I don't want it. That's East Qin's treasury."
She was already scared witless by the East Qin Imperial Jade Seal, much less the treasury key. If something happened to the treasury one day, the old officials of East Qin would all blame it on her.
"Aren't you greedy?" Long Fei Ye arched a brow as he asked.
"Greed is justified. I can't take this thing. Keep it well, "Han Yunxi said seriously. The East Qin Imperial Jade Seal was only being entrusted to her. She would have to return it to him after the Wind Clan's troubles were taken care of. So what if she had the treasury key? The things in the treasury weren't hers, so she didn't have a proper title.
Han Yunxi said seriously, "Long Fei Ye, I'll take your personal things, no matter how valuable they are. I don't have the right to take East Qin's things. "
Long Fei Ye didn't think too much about it. If Han Yunxi liked it, he would give it to her. It seemed like it had already become a habit. With Han Yunxi's reminder, he understood her misgivings.
Although the East Origin Palace was a property left to him by the East Qin Imperial Family, ever since he took over the East Origin Palace, the East Origin Palace's assets had multiplied by ten times. As long as he was willing, he could turn public property into private property in just a few days. In reality, public property and private property were the same to him.
Seeing that Han Yunxi minded, he didn't explain. He took back the key and calmly said, "You'll have the right. You can owe me for now."
Han Yunxi turned around and couldn't help feeling a little sad. Unless the enmity between East and West Qin was a misunderstanding and could be resolved, how could she have the right?
Actually, she wasn't greedy at all. She had his body and his heart. What else in this world could arouse her greed?
The East Origin Palace's exterior was simple and low-key, but its interior was extremely luxurious. It didn't pale in comparison to the high-profile Myriad Merchant Hall. Long Fei Ye brought Han Yunxi to his sleeping quarters. This palace was hidden in the quietest and most secluded part of the East Origin Palace. No one could disturb it.
As soon as she saw the hot spring behind the sleeping quarters, Han Yunxi really wanted to soak in it comfortably. Unfortunately, her legs couldn't be soaked in water. The two of them tidied up and washed away the fatigue of the journey. Long Fei Ye punctually helped Han Yunxi change her medicine.
In half a month's time, under Long Fei Ye's meticulous care and the effects of various medicines from Medical City and Medicine City, Han Yunxi's legs recovered much faster than usual.
She could already stand up, but she still couldn't walk. Of course, Long Fei Ye absolutely didn't allow her to stand. If she continued like this, she could basically recover in another half a month. After a few days of training, she could walk normally.
Fortunately, they had been on the move these days. Otherwise, with Han Yunxi's temperament, she really wouldn't be able to sit still.
Han Yunxi changed into a loose dress and sat on the couch. When she saw Long Fei Ye coming over with the ointment, she hurriedly lifted the corner of her dress up to her knees. She knew that if she let him help her, she wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.
Even with her knee exposed, her injured calf still made one's mind wander. Along the way, Long Fei Ye had already pounced on her countless times after helping her apply the ointment. He transformed into a wolf and devoured her clean.
It had to be said that before he transformed into a wolf, Long Fei Ye was still very composed. He was always focused on changing the ointment. Even when Han Yunxi spoke to him, he would always give concise and comprehensive answers.
Tonight, it was destined that he wouldn't have the chance to pounce on her. Because just as Long Fei Ye finished bandaging Han Yunxi's wounds, Xu Donglin's voice came from outside, "Your Highness, there's a situation at Blacktower."
"Come in," said Long Fei Ye as he walked to the outer room.
As soon as Xu Donglin entered, he reported, "Last night, we used a diversion tactic. The Shadow Guard has already spoken with Su Xiaoyu. Everything has been properly arranged."
Long Fei Ye was very satisfied, "Begin the deployment immediately. This prince will wait for the hare to come!"
"Yes!" Xu Donglin added, "Su Xiaoyu asked the Shadow Guard to pass a message to Princess. She said that she … misses Princess."
When Han Yunxi heard this from inside the inner room, her eyes suddenly turned red. It wasn't that she was being unreasonable, but that she understood Su Xiaoyu's temper too well. Such a stubborn and unreasonable little girl would never say anything emotional. Not to mention being emotional, she would even scold them for being unreasonable. For her to say this, she must have suffered a lot.
Even if Long Fei Ye had set up a flawless ambush, it was still very dangerous this time. Han Yunxi thought that no matter what, they had to do their best to ensure Little Yu 'er's safety.
In actual fact, Xu Donglin didn't tell the truth. When the Shadow Guard sneaked into the Black Tower and saw Su Xiaoyu, Su Xiaoyu was already at her last breath. Whether she could hold on until they came to rescue her, no one could say for sure.
In the Black Tower, there was a huge cross erected. The small Su Xiaoyu was tied to the cross with her head drooping. In the dim light, she was like an abandoned rag doll. Her entire body was emitting an aura of death.
However, there was a stubborn light in her big eyes from beginning to end. Before the Shadow Guard sneaked in, she was already stubbornly holding on to her last breath. Moreover, the Shadow Guard had already sneaked in and passed on Master's orders. Her master was her savior. No matter what, she had to complete the task beautifully to repay her master.
In the silence, a sudden gust of cold water was splashed over. Su Xiaoyu's entire body was drenched. The water flowed down her hair and her clothes, dripping onto the ground. The dripping sound was especially clear in the silence.
This was the guards' old trick. After they had used all the extreme torture on her, there was nothing left for them to play with. Hence, they splashed her with cold water every night and opened all the windows to let the cold autumn wind dry her wet body. They made her so cold that she had a high fever and fell ill. They waited until her hands were tormented by the pain and she was about to die before they gave her medicine.
In the past, every time, she would always lower her head and ignore them, letting them torment her. If she ignored them, they would lose interest and leave dispiritedly. If she ignored them, she would really be asking for trouble.
However, this time, she raised her head and her lips curled into a sinister smile. "Hey, I'll give you a chance to perform a meritorious service, how about it?"
When these words came out, the two guards' eyes lit up.
"Stinky lass, why, you can't take it anymore? Are you going to confess? "
"Cheap lass, wouldn't it have been fine if you had confessed earlier? Why did you have to suffer so much? You've even implicated us brothers to waste time with you! "
Su Xiaoyu sneered, "Confess? If I confess, will you still let me live? "
The two guards had already seen Su Xiaoyu's shrewdness and shrewdness. They didn't want to waste time with her.
"Cheap lass, if you have something to say, say it quickly. Otherwise … hehe!"
"I think she's just playing with us. She won't cry until she sees the coffin. Men, bring me a whip!"
When they finished speaking, Su Xiaoyu said Coldly, "Tell your Master that if he wants to know whether the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion is in Long Fei Ye's hands or Han Yunxi's, he'll have to come talk to me personally! If this great aunt is happy, I might even tell him how Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi broke through the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion! "
When these words came out, the two guards were shocked. They looked at each other and hurriedly ordered someone to keep an eye on Su Xiaoyu. Then, they hurriedly went to report this to their Master.
The Perplexing Butterfly Illusion was a huge matter! Their Master had been searching for the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion for many years, but had never found any clues.
Just as the guards were hurriedly delivering the letter to Bai Yanqing, Long Fei Ye, who was in charge of everything, was accompanying Han Yunxi to visit a casino. The two of them weren't visiting East Origin Hall's casino, but Myriad Merchant Hall's largest one.
