Chapter 215: Answer, it can go to hell

A groggy Han Yunxi looked to the side, only to see Long Feiye leaning by the bed, eyes closed as he took a brief rest. That chilly, handsome face with looks enough to arouse the indignation of men and gods wore a very still expression. He resembled a painting at this moment whose every look brought enjoyment to its viewer. Astonished, Han Yunxi drew her lips taut, afraid to wake him.

Only now did she realize she was sleeping on the bed in his quarters. Above her head was the extravagant canopy holding up the bed curtains, while below her body was the softest arctic fox coat. She was covered in a featherlight brocade quilt of real silk, while about her lingered his pure and fresh scent, mixed with a hint of a sweet, earthy fragrance. Everything together highlighted his nobility while showcasing his sleeping habits. Lying here was equal to stepping completely into his world, a terrifying thought. Han Yunxi wanted to get up, but she had a detestable infatuation with this sense of comfort and safety. It was at this moment that Long Feiye suddenly opened his eyes and glanced over.

“Awake?”

Tch, when did he wake up? Or was he awake the whole time and just pretending?

“Just now. I…what happened?” she feigned confusion. She knew that she was back to normal now that the detox system had fully finished its upgrades. The unknown domain within her system was inaccessible to her. Perhaps it was awaiting upgrades as well. If the poison pond water was the impetus to start the detox system’s upgrades, what else would make it upgrade a second time? How many more functions were waiting to be developed? Han Yunxi had no idea, but she believed that the surprises would only get bigger and bigger.

In the middle of her daydreams, Long Feiye suddenly asked, “You have something weighing on your mind?”

Why this question all of a sudden?

Now Han Yunxi was truly confused. She shook her head with an innocent gaze. “None…I, I might’ve been too tired recently, so my body was weaker.”

“Have you met with any troubles?” Long Feiye asked again.

Han Yunxi had no idea what was going on, and shook her head again. Did having troubles and fainting have any direct connections in her case? Long Feiye gave her a penetrating look before rising.

“Zhao mama, summon Imperial Physician Gu.”

Han Yunxi didn’t understand the meaning behind Long Feiye’s gaze until Imperial Physician Gu explained the results of his diagnosis to her. She only wanted to say that Gu Beiyue was a genius. He was just a tiny bit shy of uncovering the root cause of her ailment.

“Esteemed wangfei, those who work with their minds sicken often. If you have any worries, don’t hide them in your heart. Your health is more important.” It would be a lie to say Gu Beiyue wasn’t curious, but with Long Feiye here, he couldn’t ask too many questions. All he did was prescribe some calming drugs before taking his leave.

Long Feiye leaned on one side with arms crossed and said coldly, “If you’ve taken anything to heart too hard, tell it to your lordship for consideration.”

Everything was going well for the Han Family, whose clinics were getting more and more well-known. She’d just assumed the position of power at the Duke of Qin’s estate and gained her freedom too, so what could be troubling this woman now? Of course, she was a mystery in herself, with things he naturally had no control over. Judging by her personality, what could have worried her so much that she fell into a coma? Long Feiye dearly wanted to know, and looked icily at Han Yunxi for her answer.

Han Yunxi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Even if the sky was falling, there wouldn’t be anything that troubled her heart! Ignoring Long Feiye’s stare, she sat up to get off the bed and said, “Your Highness, chenqie is really all right.”

“Han Yunxi, you’re hiding the truth from your lordship?” Long Feiye persisted in finding the reason.

But his suspicious tone only made Han Yunxi feel uncomfortable. What was he to her? She had plenty of things she didn’t want him to know about, all right?! Han Yunxi turned around, unable to bear it any longer. “Chenqie indeed has something on her mind. Chenqie’s heart feels stifled and flustered, but I just can’t understand it so I’m beside myself with rage.”

Stifled and beside herself with rage? Had someone bullied her?

Long Feiye’s cold face flickered with serious earnesty. He didn’t make a sound, but waited for her to continue.

Han Yunxi didn’t hesitate, but said outright, “Your Highness, chenqie just doesn’t understand why Your Highness wants chenqie to move back. Although chenqie is nothing but a wangfei in name, doesn’t a place as big as the Duke of Qin’s estate have a corner just for chenqie to live in?”

Although she’d been in a coma, she hadn’t forgotten this bit. With her personality, she’d find an answer to any question she asked without withdrawing. Not expecting this, Long Feiye’s eyebrows abruptly furrowed. In contrast, Han Yunxi was easy and relaxed as she smoothed out her stray hairs. Her clear, limpid gaze was broad and magnanimous as she spoke.

“Your Highness, isn’t it good that chenqie’s moving out so I won’t disturb you? Why do you want chenqie to move back in?”

This dauntless woman with her simultaneously lovely and detestable gaze suddenly fired up Long Feiye’s own eyes as well. He was just a hair away from indulging his own whims. In the end, ice overtook his flaming gaze. He didn’t even spare Han Yunxi another glance, but said frostily, “There’s no reason why. If you want to move out, then move out.”

So speaking, an expressionless Long Feiye made his way past Han Yunxi and quickly disappeared out the door. By the time he was gone, she was still stuck in that moment from before. It suddenly felt like her heart had been left empty, as if something had hollowed it out. Even her mind seemed blank, making it momentarily impossible for her to think. For some reason, her palms hurt as if countless ants were biting at the flesh. Only by tightly clenching her fingers did she relieve some of the pain.

Why? Why was it that just by liking him that teeny tiny bit, she’d gain so much sadness in return?
