Han Yunxi's gaze inadvertently fell on the trash next to Qin mama's hand. Her heart was filled with suspicion. Did Long Fei Ye ask her to come?
Why did that guy suddenly send someone to order her around again?
Could it be that he knew that little Chen Xiang had gone to the Han Family, so he was afraid that she wouldn't have any servants to use, so he gave her a new one?
When did such a cold ice cube become so "meddlesome"?
Seeing Han Yunxi's gaze, Zhao mama felt uneasy and hurriedly explained, "Esteemed wangfei, this old servant didn't throw anything away. These things were all ordered by His Highness Duke of Qin to throw away."
At this time, Han Yunxi finally recovered her senses. She didn't pay attention to Zhao mama's words and only made an "oh" sound before asking, "Zhao mama, right?"
"Yes, yes." Zhao mama hurriedly replied.
"It's fine. You can go. Be careful." Han Yunxi indifferently said and continued to walk into the courtyard.
"Wangfei …" Zhao mama seemed to want to say something, but seeing that esteemed wangfei had already entered the courtyard, she could only drop the matter.
She thought that esteemed wangfei really wasn't ugly. She was much prettier than she had imagined. She even told her to be careful. It seemed that her heart wasn't bad.
Han Yunxi pouted as she walked. How did that ice cube know that little Chen Xiang wasn't here? Why did he suddenly become so kind and add another servant to her?
Alright, no matter what, even if he was kind, shouldn't she go over and thank him for his kindness?
Han Yunxi's footsteps unconsciously became lighter. Just as she was about to turn around and make a trip to Long Fei Ye's sleeping quarters, who knew that at this time, a familiar voice would suddenly sound out from Leisurely Cloud Pavilion. "You just came back. Where are you going?"
The deep voice carried a unique coldness that made Han Yunxi unconsciously shiver. Entering the room, she saw Long Fei Ye sitting on the main seat.
Usually, he was dressed in black. Today, he was dressed in white with wide sleeves and a V-shaped collar decorated with golden embroidery. Apart from being simple, it made him look handsome and refined. There was an indescribable sense of nobility that made people not dare to offend him.
Han Yunxi didn't know if it was because she hadn't seen enough or because she wasn't immune to the white-clothed Long Fei Ye, but she was always easily entranced and confused.
However, Long Fei Ye hated this kind of love-struck look the most.
His eyes, which were as deep as the sea, darkened as he asked coldly, "Where do you plan to go?"
He had been waiting for her here for more than two hours. Chen Xiang was not here. Once this woman went out, no one would know where she went. If something happened outside, no one would know.
Han Yunxi immediately came back to her senses. She secretly scolded herself for being muddle-headed again. This kind of man was not someone she could casually admire.
"I didn't know Your Highness was here. Please excuse my lack of manners."
Han Yunxi politely bowed before replying, "I just met Zhao mama at the door. Knowing that Your Highness had rewarded a servant, I was just about to go over and thank Your Highness. Your Highness is considerate."
Unexpectedly, Long Fei Ye said, "This prince cannot tolerate dirty places in Hibiscus Courtyard. In the future, Zhao mama will only be responsible for the cleaning of Leisurely Cloud Pavilion."
What?
"Does Your Highness think I'm dirty?" Han Yunxi blurted out.
Long Fei Ye's mouth twitched. He paused for a moment, but still replied, "Yes."
Han Yunxi immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. So this guy sent Zhao mama here specifically to clean. To put it bluntly, this guy thought she was dirty and was afraid that her Leisurely Cloud Pavilion would pollute Hibiscus Courtyard.
She thought that he knew that Chen Xiang was not here and was considerate of her lack of subordinates. He was afraid that she would suffer.
Sure enough, it was her own wishful thinking.
This hateful guy. She should have known that he didn't have any good intentions when he "meddled" in other people's business!
"Many thanks for Your Highness's care … concern. Chenqie will remember it!" Han Yunxi's tone immediately turned cold. The word "concern" was especially meaningful.
She thought that this guy had nothing better to do and would leave after specially coming to remind her of this matter. However, Long Fei Ye still sat in the main seat without moving.
Han Yunxi raised her head and met his cold eyes. She expressionlessly asked him to leave, "If Your Highness doesn't have any other matters, chenqie will be resting."
Every time she saw this guy, it was a kind of enjoyment when he didn't speak. However, once he opened his mouth, she basically didn't want to see him anymore.
If Long Fei Ye remembered correctly, this wasn't the first time Han Yunxi had asked him to leave. There were so many places in the world waiting for him to grace them with his presence, but this woman didn't know what was good for her.
"Must there be a reason why this prince is looking for you?" Besides being cold, Long Fei Ye's voice also contained a trace of toughness.
Was this guy here to pick a fight?
"Then what did Your Highness come here for?" Han Yunxi asked back. Actually, she wanted to ask, "Did you come here to pick a fight?"
In her impression, this guy didn't seem to have any problems the last time he came here.
Long Fei Ye suddenly didn't know how to answer Han Yunxi's question. His cold eyes flashed with displeasure before he stood up and ordered, "I'm looking for you to treat the poison. We'll leave right now."
No matter what he did, none of the Northern Li spies he'd caught before had confessed. They didn't even eat or drink. One by one, a few of them had starved to death, while the remaining four had all been poisoned.
His protective measures had been very good, leaving no room for them to commit suicide. Moreover, they'd been caught a month ago, so how could they be poisoned for no reason?
Chu Xifeng had found a few poison doctors to examine them for two days, but they couldn't even tell what kind of poison they'd been poisoned with. Another one had died this morning, leaving only three spies left.
They must have taken poison, which meant they couldn't take the interrogation any longer. If they succeeded in killing themselves at this critical juncture, then all of his previous efforts would've been for naught.
Since the two poison doctors were at a loss, he immediately thought of Han Yunxi.
Long Fei Ye's commanding tone made Han Yunxi very unhappy. When she recalled how he'd disliked her for being dirty, she lazily replied, "Your Highness, chenqie is tired. You should find someone better qualified."
Long Fei Ye wasn't surprised by Han Yunxi's refusal. He stopped in his tracks, but didn't turn back with a disdainful smile. He casually tossed a bag of silver behind him, which landed accurately on the tea table by Han Yunxi's side. There was a thud, but it was obvious that there was quite a bit of silver inside.
Perhaps in the past, Han Yunxi would've cherished this silver. After all, she needed it to live and buy medicinal ingredients.
But with Emperor Tianhui's rewards, as long as she didn't squander it extravagantly and built a house or estate, she had enough silver to last her a lifetime.
Now she could willfully say that money wasn't a problem for this wangfei.
Of course, she didn't have such confidence in front of the moneybags Long Fei Ye.
She didn't move, but said mildly, "Your Highness, chenqie has been very tired these past few days. This will affect the accuracy of my diagnosis. I ask that Your Highness find someone better qualified to avoid delaying matters."
At these words, Long Fei Ye's proud body stiffened. It was obvious that he hadn't expected Han Yunxi to refuse again. He slowly furrowed his brows and turned to look at her.
Han Yunxi immediately felt a dark, cold gaze shoot towards her. It was impossible to say that she didn't feel guilty, but she was going to go against this guy today!
If she wasn't going, then she wasn't going. She'd like to see what this guy could do to her.
Han Yunxi lowered her head and restrained her gaze in silence. Long Fei Ye stared at her in silence as well.
Silence filled the room as tension filled the air. Time seemed to freeze, as if this deathly stillness would never be broken.
In this deadlock, who would be the first to speak?
After a long time, Han Yunxi unconsciously pursed her lips. She wasn't sure if it was because her nerves had been stretched too taut, but she suddenly relaxed. For some inexplicable reason, she lifted her head to look at Long Feiye's expression.
Would it be scary?
It was rare for this fellow to have something he couldn't do, to have a time when he was defeated!
Only, when she was about to carefully raise her head, Long Fei Ye suddenly turned his head. His cold eyes narrowed as he walked away without saying a word.
Han Yunxi didn't expect this. She quickly raised her head to look, but she didn't see his cold and handsome face. She only saw his cold back.
In the end, no one broke the silence. But the silence was no longer there.
Because he had left.
Inexplicably, a sense of loss filled her heart. Han Yunxi really couldn't calm down. Things shouldn't be like this. It seemed like a lot more was going to happen.
Only, Han Yunxi didn't know how things were going to turn out.
She clearly didn't want to go and now she didn't need to go. Why didn't she feel any sense of relief?
She clearly wanted to see him suffer a setback. Now that she had angered him to leave, why didn't she feel any satisfaction from her revenge?
Based on that fellow's character, after being rejected once, he probably wouldn't come looking for her to cure his poison again, right?
She should be happy!
Han Yunxi sighed and shrugged her shoulders. The less she meddled in that fellow's matters, the less trouble she would have, which was pretty good.
After thinking it through, Han Yunxi stretched her body and sat down to pour herself some water.
It was also at this time that she noticed the changes in the room.
Actually, it couldn't be said to have changed. It was just a lot cleaner. The floor, tables, and chairs were all polished until they shone brightly.
The stench that originally came from the study room had long disappeared. The air was still filled with the faint fragrance of herbs, as if even the air had been purified.
"So clean? Zhao mama can't have serious mysophobia, right? " Han Yunxi exclaimed in surprise. She muttered to herself as she walked towards the study room. She saw that the study room was also tidied up. The poisoned tea on the table was all gone.
The things she had placed on the table were all unimportant, so she wasn't afraid of losing them. However, it had to be said that Han Yunxi didn't like other people messing around with the things in her study room.
A trace of displeasure flashed across her eyes. She walked closer and inspected them one by one. She found that the things that should have been thrown away were all left behind. The things that were still useful were all cleaned and placed neatly together.
Moreover, in the middle of the table, there was a basin of water nurturing coppermint. The lush green plants grew very densely, adding a touch of vitality to the gray study room. It was especially pleasing to the eye.
Alright, Han Yunxi admitted that she was quite satisfied. Based on this degree of cleanliness, she could overlook Zhao mama messing around with her things.
At this time, Zhao mama came back from outside. Seeing Han Yunxi in the study, she hurried over. "Esteemed Wangfei, His Highness Duke of Qin has left?"
"Mn." Han Yunxi nodded, then added, "In the future, if he's here, you have to let me know. Also, in the future, don't touch the things in my study room. I'll tidy it up myself."
Zhao mama didn't explain that she had wanted to ask His Highness Duke of Qin to stay for dinner, but this mistress had left too quickly. She could only respectfully reply, "Yes."
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, she originally thought that His Highness Duke of Qin would stay for dinner. Who knew that he would leave?
"Esteemed Wangfei, what do you like to eat for dinner? This old servant will instruct the kitchens to prepare it. "Zhao mama asked.
Han Yunxi was about to answer when she suddenly remembered Long Fei Ye's words. Thus, she raised her brows and looked at Zhao mama. She smiled playfully and said, "Zhao mama, aren't you only in charge of cleaning the Leisurely Cloud Pavilion?"
