Chapter 347: Your Highness, you took offense

If this was any other day, Han Yunxi would definitely help Gu Beiyue off the bed herself. For a modern-day doctor, this was nothing. Despite knowing the customs of the past, she had a habit of forgetting them at times. It was impossible for her to think of every single detail.

This time, Han Yunxi only said mildly, “Imperial Physician Gu, treat your wound well.” Then she ordered Chu Xifeng, “Escort Imperial Physician Gu back to his home. Make sure to take care of him along the way.”

If Chu Xifeng didn’t have orders to stay by Gu Beiyue’s side, he would’ve chased after Han Yunxi with Zhao mama. Now he was completely clueless as to what happened between His Highness and this mistress. He could only feign ignorance and say, “Your subordinate obeys.”

He helped Gu Beiyue off the bed and left the room together with Imperial Physician Huang. Zhao mama was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. She couldn’t figure out what esteemed wangfei was doing, but she never expected her to really send Gu Beiyue away. Could it be that she’d given up the farce? Or was she unable to continue? Was she going to apologize to His Highness Duke of Qin next? Esteemed wangfei liked His Highness Duke of Qin immensely, but she couldn’t just toss out her dignity or principles just like that! That wasn’t esteemed wangfei’s style! Rather than admit her wrongs now, she should’ve forgot about fooling around in the first place.

Zhao mama decided she had to do something before esteemed wangfei returned. After a while, she found Long Feiye and said, “Your Highness, esteemed wangfei nearly fainted when she saw Imperial Physician Gu being tortured at the palace.”

Long Feiye was wholly concentrated on reading a secret missive delivered by a carrier pigeon, and paid Zhao mama no mind. Though Zhao mama was clearer than anyone on her master’s self-control, she was still a little uncertain. How can he be so calm? Would everything be settled as long as esteemed wangfei sends away Imperial Physician Gu?

Zhao mama always felt that His Highness Duke of Qin had held misgivings about esteemed wangfei, though she couldn’t pinpoint what. No matter the case, she was dissatisfied with the current state of affairs. “In the palace, Imperial Physician Gu couldn’t even get up on his own. It was esteemed wangfei who personally helped him to his feet.”

Long Feiye’s profile looked absolutely chilly in the darkness, but as before, his face was expressionless.

“Master, as this old servant sees it, esteemed wangfei certainly treats Imperial Physician Gu differently.”

“Master, Imperial Physician Gu and esteemed wangfei must get along very well in their private lives, yes?”

“Master, Imperial Physician Gu has exquisite medical skills, so he probably has many topics in common to talk about with esteemed wangfei, right?”

Zhao mama asked three questions in a row, but Long Feiye didn’t even look her way. She was ready to put things plainly, but a guard suddenly rushed over with a report.

“Your Highness, esteemed wangfei’s packed up her things and is preparing to stay over two days at the Gu Estate.”

Long Feiye abruptly rose to his feet, absolutely furious. “Where is she?”

What a Han Yunxi. She’d sent away Gu Beiyue, so he was waiting for her to come back and give an explanation. Unexpectedly, this was her plan in the end! She wanted to go to the Gu Estate!

That woman, what gall!

Long Feiye’s figure flashed out of sight before Zhao mama recovered her senses. She sucked in a cold breath as she finally understood esteemed wangfei’s intentions.

She actually dared to do that?! She was probably the only person in the world who could make the chilly as ice Long Feiye thoroughly explode in rage.

Currently, Han Yunxi had finished packing her things and was preparing to exit the Leisurely Cloud Pavilion. Suddenly, a fierce wind dashed against her face, causing her to back up a few steps. In the next instant, Long Feiye appeared before her like some sort of lofty deity, his powerful aura strong enough to send mountains toppling and waves crashing through the sea. The pressure was so intense that she even had trouble breathing.

“Where are you going?” he asked.

“The Gu Estate.” She actually had the guts to answer without the slightest hesitation, before adding, “Imperial Physician Gu’s injury isn’t fully recovered yet. I’ll go take care of him for a few days.”

Long Feiye’s face had turned completely black, his fists clenching until the veins popped out. His fury burned in his chest as he spoke. “What. Did. You. Say?”

The plucky Han Yunxi actually repeated herself word by word.“Imperial Physician Gu’s injury isn’t fully recovered yet. I’ll go take care of him for a few days.”

As she finished speaking, Long Feiye suddenly struck out with his fist, his arm rushing straight past Han Yunxi’s head. The gust it left in its wake made her face sting. “A dignified and upright Qin Wangfei is going to look after an imperial physician? Han Yunxi, do you even have your lordship in your eyes?” Long Feiye interrogated.

Han Yunxi’s eyes flickered with a crafty look as she lowered her head in silence. Long Feiye tilted her chin up and forced her to meet his eyes. “Answer your lordship’s question!”

“Imperial Physician Gu is really severely wounded. I’m worried…”

Before she could finish, Long Feiye tightened his grip on her chin so she couldn’t say anymore. His cold gaze stared wordless at Han Yunxi, his breaths fast and furious with his rage. Han Yunxi’s chin ached, but in the face of Long Feiye’s pressuring, she chose to shut her eyes instead. That only made him more angry. He didn’t force a kiss on her this time, but spoke up in an wrathful tone that was impossible to hide.

“Han Yunxi, do you fancy Gu Beiyue?”
