Zhao mama knelt with her head bowed, her heart filled with fear.
Even though she'd served His Highness Duke of Qin for years, a servant was still a servant. Her greatest taboo wasn't to do a bad job, but to offend her master.
She'd offended esteemed wangfei on her first day at Leisurely Cloud Pavilion. How was she supposed to live the rest of her days?
If esteemed wangfei complained to His Highness Duke of Qin, then things would be even worse. After all, she'd served by His Highness Duke of Qin's side for years without ever making him dissatisfied.
While Zhao mama was terrified, Han Yunxi was still in a daze. Zhao mama's reprimanding words echoed in her ears.
"How did he not take you seriously?"
It looked like this old mama had returned so suddenly that she hadn't figured out her relationship with Long Fei Ye. She must have misunderstood something.
But despite knowing it was a misunderstanding, Han Yunxi's lips still rose to a secret smile without her noticing.
"Cough, cough!"
She coughed lightly a few times before saying, "Zhao mama, I'll let it go this time. I'll take into account that you didn't mean it on purpose. As for the relationship between His Highness and me … "
Han Yunxi paused before bursting into laughter. She patted Zhao mama's shoulder and grinned. "Heheh, you'll understand in the future."
Then she walked briskly into the rooms.
Zhao mama slowly raised her head and looked at Han Yunxi's retreating form. Then she recalled her words and felt that something was off.
She needed to find that rascal Chu Xifeng and ask him about the details …
In the dead of night, the lights in Long Fei Ye's sleeping quarters were still on. A figure silently appeared in front of the door.
The guards hidden on the side had long sensed someone approaching, but none of them dared to make a sound.
The newcomer was none other than Qin Wangfei Han Yunxi.
Han Yunxi had seen the lights in Long Fei Ye's sleeping quarters from a distance, so she immediately came over. But she hesitated at the door.
After hesitating for a while, Han Yunxi still didn't knock on the door. She turned around to leave, but at this moment, the door suddenly moved.
Han Yunxi was shocked and instinctively wanted to run away. But damn it, she accidentally missed a step and fell down!
"Ah!"
She cried out and immediately muffled her mouth, but it was already too late. The doors opened to reveal Long Feiye standing inside, dressed in black robes that made him look like a god of the night. He looked down at her with disdainful eyes.
"What are you doing?" Long Fei Ye's voice was colder than the winter wind.
"I … I …" Han Yunxi was so nervous that she couldn't speak properly.
However, Long Fei Ye's face was terrifyingly cold. He walked out of the door and walked past her without even looking at her.
"I'll go with you to detoxify!" Han Yunxi blurted out in a hurry.
Before she asked Zhao mama, she felt at ease. But after asking Zhao mama, she felt especially guilty. After hesitating for a while, she still came.
She also didn't know what she felt guilty about. Perhaps, helping him detoxify the poison was a repayment for him taking her in to stay in Hibiscus Garden and helping her solve a lot of problems.
Long Fei Ye stopped and was silent for a while. Then, he asked Coldly, "Why did you change your mind?"
"I just … I just slept for a while. I feel much better now. I should be able to make an accurate diagnosis." Han Yunxi replied.
Long Fei Ye's lips curled into a cold smile. "Unfortunately, this prince doesn't need it anymore."
As he spoke, he continued to walk forward.
Han Yunxi suddenly stood up. She didn't know that she had sprained her ankle, but this violent movement hurt her so much that she fell back down. She couldn't help but cry out in pain. "Aiya!"
Long Feiye abruptly halted his steps, but it was only a moment before he started walking again.
"Long Fei Ye, stop right there! I'm here to negotiate with you!" Han Yunxi hurriedly blurted out.
This time, Long Fei Ye really stopped in his tracks. Seeing this, Han Yunxi hurriedly said, "No matter what, I've helped you twice. You should help me once, right?"
"If this prince remembers correctly, this prince paid the consultation fee for both times I asked you to do something." Long Fei Ye didn't turn around as he reminded her Coldly.
"That's why I won't treat you unfairly this time. I'll help you detoxify the poison, and you help me. We'll each take what we need and help each other." Han Yunxi said with a smile.
After a long time, Long Fei Ye finally turned around to look at her. "What is it?"
Han Yunxi inwardly sighed in relief. She knew that this guy still hadn't found someone to detoxify the poison.
In reality, she wasn't here to make a deal with him. She just thought that he must have encountered a difficult case since he was looking for her to detoxify the poison. Moreover, he had waited for her for more than two hours, so he should be in a hurry.
As for the deal, it was just something she thought of in a hurry.
Han Yunxi wasn't afraid when she saw Long Fei Ye's icy face. She smiled apologetically and waved her hand. "Come over and talk."
Long Fei Ye's lips twitched. He was clearly a bit impatient, but he still walked over and squatted down.
At this time, Han Yunxi said in a low voice, "I've helped you detoxify the poison. Take me to the Han residence secretly. I want to look for something in Third Madam Li's room."
"Be a thief?" Long Fei Ye raised his brows.
"No!" Han Yunxi immediately denied and lowered her voice even more. "I'm investigating a case! Mu Qingwu asked me to investigate the poison. Last time, he was poisoned with ten-thousand snake poison. "
Long Fei Ye already knew about this. Unfortunately, Han Yunxi didn't know that he was also paying attention.
"You suspect the Han family?" Long Fei Ye was a bit surprised.
"It's not really a suspicion. It's just that there are some clues over there. I have to look for them to confirm it." Han Yunxi said seriously. Letting this guy know about the matter at the general's residence didn't have much of an impact.
She wasn't asking for his help, but making a deal. Of course, if he wanted to take the initiative to help, she wouldn't mind.
Long Fei Ye hesitated for a moment, then said indifferently, "Go detoxify the poison first."
"Your Highness agrees?" Han Yunxi was amused.
Long Fei Ye's face remained cold. He stood up expressionlessly. "Mn."
Han Yunxi wanted to stand up as well, but only then did she realize that she had sprained her ankle. She could only press her hands on the ground and stand up on one leg.
As a doctor, although she wasn't from the orthopedics department, she still had some common sense.
Based on the degree of pain, it didn't hurt the bone. It hurt a bit, but it wasn't a big deal.
She tried to lightly step on the ground. The pain level seemed to be within an acceptable range, so it shouldn't be a problem for her to limp.
She lightly exhaled and said indifferently, "Your Highness, lead the way."
Long Fei Ye glanced at her leg from the corner of his eyes, then really walked forward with large strides. Han Yunxi limped to catch up. However, not long after, her ankle hurt so much that she couldn't stand it anymore!
After holding on for a while, she finally stopped. "Your Highness, wait a moment!"
Long Fei Ye turned around, his cold gaze locked onto her ankle. Han Yunxi felt helpless. She thought, I'm going to be mocked by this guy again.
"My leg is probably …"
"Your lordship thought your leg was made of iron. It looks like your lordship overestimated you again," Long Fei Ye interrupted.
Han Yunxi rolled her eyes. She knew he'd laugh at her. She was about to retort when Long Fei Ye walked over and picked her up in a princess carry.
Han Yunxi was caught off guard and unconsciously wrapped her arms around Long Fei Ye's neck. Her nose accidentally brushed against the side of his face. So cold!
In an instant, Han Yunxi froze. Aside from the thumping of her heart, her entire body was stiff.
Why did he suddenly …
This … is this the legendary princess carry?
What is this guy doing?
As if sensing the stiffness of the person in his arms, Long Fei Ye's lips curved into a smile. It wasn't clear whether it was disdain or amusement. His feet tapped lightly on the ground, his figure strong and vigorous. He quickly disappeared into the night with Han Yunxi in his arms.
At this moment, Chu Xifeng and Zhao mama cautiously poked their heads out from the flowers on the side. They exchanged looks of disbelief.
"Little Chu, didn't you say there was nothing going on between them? This … this … what's going on? "Zhao mama was completely lost.
"I really don't know. In any case, this woman just stayed, and then … I don't know the rest," Chu Xifeng replied helplessly.
"No … they're … His Highness is treating her …" Zhao mama still couldn't understand. If His Highness still hadn't acknowledged this woman as Qin Wangfei and didn't fancy her, then why did he keep her here?
And he even hugged her!
His Highness Duke of Qin had severe mysophobia. He wouldn't even be happy to shake hands with a man, much less a woman!
When Chu Xifeng saw His Highness Duke of Qin take Han Yunxi in his arms for the first time, his expression was even more exaggerated than Zhao mama's. Of course, he was at a loss now as well.
"Little Chu, this … I'm all confused!" Zhao mama knitted her brows as her wrinkles deepened further.
Chu Xifeng waved his hand. "Mama, don't worry about His Highness's matters. Go back, go back. In the future, just be careful when serving esteemed wangfei. Don't really treat her like a mistress."
As Chu Xifeng spoke, he realized something was off and added, "But don't treat her like a mistress, either!"
"An old woman like me doesn't understand the world of young people!" Zhao mama shook her head helplessly. When she recalled her words to esteemed wangfei, she couldn't help but feel vexed. Unfortunately, it was too late for regrets.
Aye, esteemed wangfei must be laughing at me in her heart …
Long Fei Ye brought Han Yunxi to a private residence hidden in a deep alley.
From the outside, it looked like a house, but inside, it was Long Fei Ye's private residence called the Solitary Enclosure.
As soon as they entered, Long Fei Ye placed Han Yunxi on the table and had her sit down. Han Yunxi had been so nervous the entire way that her heart was still pounding.
This fellow was very tall. Even if she sat on the table, she wouldn't be as tall as him standing.
She glanced up at him and asked, "Is the poisoned person here?"
"Mm." Long Feiye made a sound of assent before turning to fetch some medicine. Han Yunxi could tell at a whiff that it was medicine for her sprain.
At least this fellow had a conscience and knew to take care of her foot first.
Han Yunxi quickly took off her shoes and socks, revealing a fair, soft, jade-like foot. Long Fei Ye saw her foot as soon as he turned around and gave a start. Then he knitted his brows and studied Han Yunxi.
Did this woman have no sense of propriety at all? Did she treat other people like this too?
She was a woman who had transmigrated and was also a doctor. It was normal for her to show her hands and feet.
Seeing Long Fei Ye's furrowed brows, she felt that something was wrong.
What was there to look at?
She reached out her hand. "Give me the medicine. I'm good at massaging."
However, Long Fei Ye's cold gaze slowly shifted downwards and locked onto her jade-like foot.
What was he doing?
Han Yunxi glanced at him before following his line of sight. Only then did she notice that her own feet were as white as jade, soft and smooth and well-proportioned. It was a beautiful sight to behold.
She seemed to have suddenly realized something as she looked up at Long Fei Ye. When she saw his deep gaze, her heart suddenly thumped and she panicked.
Heavens … She actually forgot that in ancient times, even showing one's arm was enough to get you married!
