Before Consort Wan killed herself, she left Long Fei Ye with two words.
One was, "Feiye, remember how your imperial father and I died."
The other was, "Feiye, remember the meaning of your life."
After Tang Li fell silent, Han Yunxi's heart ached so much that she couldn't breathe. She couldn't imagine how much Long Fei Ye had endured. It wasn't a burden on his shoulders, but in his heart.
Only by knowing how much he'd suffered would she know how much he'd conceded. Only then would she know how much he'd struggled and suffered when he chose to accept her, love her, and hide her identity from her.
But he hadn't mentioned a word about any of it. It was as if none of it had ever happened, and she knew nothing about it.
Compared to her responsibilities as the "princess of Western Qin," Long Fei Ye's burden was a true inner torment!
Seeing Han Yunxi's red eyes, Tang Li realized he'd said too much. He was about to speak when Han Yunxi grabbed his sleeve and said, "Tang Li, I'll leave Ning Jing and Mu Ling 'er to you! And don't tell your big brother that I know so much. "
Thank goodness this woman was still rational.
Tang Li exhaled. "I understand. Don't worry and go!"
Han Yunxi didn't send anyone else to tell Long Fei Ye to change the time. She gave herself an hour to calm down and collect her emotions. Once she'd buried all her pain in her heart, she left to take care of Myriad Merchant Hall's affairs.
"Head Elder, have you notified everyone about the alliance?" Han Yunxi asked.
"I've already discussed it with the elders yesterday. It's better to wait until after the princess leaves. Princess, please don't worry. The Council of Elders will take care of everything below," the head elder said seriously.
Han Yunxi relaxed at his words. A complicated look flickered past her eyes before she said, "After notifying everyone, spread the news as well! I want all of Cloud Realm Continent to know that East and West Qin are working together! "
The Great Elder hesitated. Han Yunxi Coldly said, "If we don't take this chance to confront East Qin, could it be we'll let East Qin keep slandering our Western Qin royal family? I want the world to know that the civil war in the Great Qin Empire was not the fault of Western Qin! "
Influenced by Han Yunxi's imposing manner, First Elder also became excited. "Yes! This subordinate will do as you say! "
What the First Elder didn't know was that Han Yunxi had already made a very ruthless decision.
"Princess, about Ning Jing …" The Great Elder asked tentatively.
According to the Di Clan's rules and style, Ning Jing's matters weren't as important as the Wind Clan's. Even if Ning Jing's life was in danger, the Wind Clan's matters were still the priority.
But the Great Elder still hadn't figured out the princess's style or temperament after spending time with her. More importantly, it wasn't just Ning Jing who was missing, but Mu Ling 'er as well. Thus, he didn't dare to act on his own and could only test the waters.
"Ning Jing's matters have already been handed over to Fifth Elder. Keep an eye on him and have him cooperate with the Tang Clan Head. I've already made an appointment with Long Fei Ye. We'll set out in the afternoon, "Han Yunxi said seriously.
"Princess, please be careful. This subordinate has arranged for two guards to protect you," the Great Elder said.
Han Yunxi didn't refuse, but said, "Wait by the door."
There were still two more hours before Long Feiye's appointment, but Han Yunxi had already taken care of everything. If this was the past, she'd definitely take a bath and prepare some dry rations before leaving the house.
But how could she have the mind to do that! She wanted to see that man immediately and tightly hug him.
How could he ….. How could he not tell her anything? Did he want to hide it from her forever? How could he bear this much?
Being separated from Long Fei Ye so many times, even being separated for several months, it didn't feel as bad as these two hours.
Han Yunxi sat in the wheelchair, sitting alone in the room. She was waiting for news, waiting for him to send someone to pick her up. She already couldn't calmly think about anything.
Finally, there was a knock on the door. "Your highness, the East Qin Crown Prince has sent someone over."
Han Yunxi suddenly looked up and saw the door open. Standing at the door was no one else but Xu Donglin.
"Princess of Western Qin, please," Xu Donglin was neither servile nor overbearing as he rushed to push Han Yunxi's wheelchair before the servant girls could.
The Great Elder waited on one side. As soon as Han Yunxi left the room, he signaled for the two guards to follow her.
They escorted her all the way to the back door before he spoke. "Your highness, take care."
"Don't worry. Long Fei Ye won't dare to act rashly when everyone in the world knows." Han Yunxi even gave the Great Elder a bewitching potion before she left. Most likely, he'd spread the news of the alliance between East and Western Qin to every corner of Cloud Realm Continent very soon.
The Fifth Elder and the Fourth Elder also came to see him off. In front of Xu Donglin, they remained silent and did not say anything.
At the back door, all of the elders stopped. Xu Donglin escorted Han Yunxi to her carriage while the two guards followed them all the way to the Three-Way Black Market's west gate.
Han Yunxi finally saw the familiar carriage. It was a large and sturdy carriage parked there with Gao Bohou on one side. Long Fei Ye should be inside.
Behind the large carriage were two smaller ones. The two guards assumed that the small carriage was prepared for Han Yunxi, but Han Yunxi knew that Baili Mingxiang was inside.
In the end, they were still at the Three-Way Black Market's gates with guards following them. Xu Donglin quickly invited Han Yunxi to the small carriage. "Princess, this way please."
Long Fei Ye sat in the large carriage, expressionless as he studied a specially made map. He heard Xu Donglin's voice, but didn't bat an eyelid.
As soon as Han Yunxi boarded the small carriage, Baili Mingxiang didn't dare to sit. But the carriage was too small for her to stand up, so she was at a loss.
Han Yunxi didn't speak, but pressed down on her shoulder to make her sit back down. Baili Mingxiang didn't know that there were guards following them outside, so she didn't understand why the princess had run over to her place.
"Hurry up and go. We need to find a place to rest before it gets dark. This princess doesn't want to sleep in the wilderness," Han Yunxi urged.
Although the person in question didn't speak, Gao Bohou and Xu Donglin didn't dare to slight Han Yunxi. The two of them immediately set off. With a flick of their whips, the horses ran extremely fast.
The two guards sent by First Elder rode their horses and followed closely behind Han Yunxi's carriage.
How would Han Yunxi deal with these two obstructing guards?
Shake them off?
Xu Donglin was waiting for his masters' orders. Xu Donglin guessed that Her Highness would speak first, but who knew that after they were far away from the Three-Way Black Market, Han Yunxi would speak, "Xu Donglin, stop the carriage!"
Xu Donglin immediately pulled the reins and slowly stopped the carriage. He called for Gao Bohou to stop the carriage as well. The two guards were puzzled. They dismounted and were about to go forward when they suddenly heard Han Yunxi shout, "Long Fei Ye, come over here!"
The two guards immediately froze. Xu Donglin and Gao Bohou were shocked. What was the princess doing? Baili Mingxiang was also shocked when she saw the guards from Myriad Merchant Hall.
Actually, Long Fei Ye was as surprised as they were. He naturally had to send these two guards away, but now was not the time. He had to keep them for a few days so that they could send a few messages back to Myriad Merchant Hall. After reassuring the Elder Council, he would deal with them.
They had just left the Three-Way Black Market, and the sky was not even dark yet. What was Han Yunxi trying to do?
Was she in a hurry?
She … when did she become so clingy?
Thinking of this, Long Fei Ye's lips curled into a faint smile. He did not say anything and allowed Han Yunxi to be willful. Even if her willfulness caused a huge disaster, he would be able to clean it up for her.
"Long Fei Ye, come over here! Are you coming over or not! "Han Yunxi shouted again.
Long Fei Ye very "obediently" got off the carriage and walked over.
He wasn't dressed in black today, but loose white robes. His ink-black hair was tied up casually, giving him an air of lazy nobility. He was like a high and lofty god who couldn't be offended.
Even Uncle Gao and Xu Donglin couldn't help but steal a few more glances at him, to say nothing of the women. Baili Mingxiang didn't dare to look, her head bowed. Just the sight of his boots and robes was enough to make her heart bow and submit to him.
Han Yunxi was smiling so widely that her eyes curved into crescents as she watched Long Fei Ye walk closer. Long Fei Ye's attire today reminded her of the time when they were still living in the Duke of Qin's estate in Tianning's capital city.
She would often run into him in the courtyard, dressed in snow-white robes as he walked lazily through the winding corridors, either strolling or passing by.
She'd stared at him in a daze many times.
Under everyone's gaze, Long Fei Ye walked to the front of the carriage. The two guards on the side exchanged glances, unsure whether they should move forward or keep watching, ready to protect him at any time.
Her Royal Highness had so rudely called Long Fei Ye off the carriage, so it couldn't be a small matter. But Han Yunxi's next words almost made them fall to the ground!
Han Yunxi said, "Long Fei Ye, hurry and carry me over!"
Everyone was stunned. Even Long Fei Ye was caught off guard, but when he saw Han Yunxi reach out her arms, he decisively picked her up from the carriage and carried her in a princess carry.
"Princess!"
"Princess, you, you …"
The two guards were so shocked that they couldn't speak. Han Yunxi lightly waved her hand and shot out two needles. Caught off guard, the guards were hit by the needles before they could dodge.
"Either your entire body festers and dies, or follow me obediently. I'll give you the antidote tomorrow!" Han Yunxi said Coldly.
When they heard the words "festers", the two guards were so scared that their legs almost turned to jelly. They didn't dare to ask any more questions and hurriedly knelt down. "Your Royal Highness, please spare our lives. We'll listen to Your Royal Highness's orders!"
Long Fei Ye's smile widened. He hugged Han Yunxi tightly and returned to the large carriage.
How could outsiders know what happened in the carriage? Uncle Gao and Xu Donglin continued to drive the carriage. The two guards trembled in fear and followed obediently. Baili Mingxiang let down the small curtain. She bent her knees and hugged them tightly with her arms. She was so lonely that it was as if the whole world had forgotten her …
In the carriage, Long Fei Ye had just placed Han Yunxi on the seat. Just as he was about to ask, Han Yunxi suddenly hugged him very tightly.
He clearly felt that something was wrong with her and asked gently, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just want to hug you." Han Yunxi's eyes were no longer smiling, only heartache.
Long Fei Ye lifted her chin and forced her to look up at him. "Han Yunxi, who bullied you?"
Han Yunxi said, "Long Fei Ye, we …"
