Chapter 366: How about serving by your side? (2/2)
“Thanks to Your Highness Duke of Qin,” Gu Beiyue didn’t refuse the reward, but instructed clearly, “Your Highness Duke of Qin, this month will be critical for healing your wound. By no means should you overdo things. If possible, don’t exert yourself at all.”
As he spoke, he crept closer and murmured in Long Feiye’s ear, “Your Highness, forgive this official for saying too much, but I ask that Your Highness refrain from any sexual intercourse during the month.”
If Han Yunxi had heard those words, what would her reaction be? In truth, it was actually quite normal for a doctor like Gu Beiyue to disclose such details when Long Feiye was so seriously hurt. If he didn’t remind the man, it’d be a loss of professionalism on his part.
Long Feiye was extremely calm as he replied with perfect self composure, “Mhm, your lordship shall refrain.”
The implication of his words meant that… Gu Beiyue stiffened slightly before he recovered his senses. Nobody noticed anything amiss as he smiled gently and left with his medical chest. Now that everything was said and done, there was no need for him to stay any longer.
“Chu Xifeng, accompany Imperial Physician Gu back,” Long Feiye ordered, giving Gu Beiyue no more excuse to stay.
Han Yunxi sent them off all the way to the door. “Gu Beiyue, I really have to thank you this time.”
“Esteemed wangfei is being too polite. Originally, this official thought that… Heheh, Heaven smiles on the fortunate like His Majesty!” Gu Beiyue didn’t finish his sentence, but Han Yunxi knew what he meant. According to his previous diagnosis, Long Feiye’s condition should’ve been hopeless after he failed to wake up that night.
“That’s right. Heaven favors the fortunate like His Majesty!” Long Feiye certainly was lucky to escape death, Han Yunxi mused. Naturally, she had no idea that Gu Beiyue already calculated that the man would actually wake up. But in order to hide his medical skills, he spoke a lie instead. Originally, Gu Beiyue had estimated that Long Feiye would resume consciousness after a month. He never expected the man to wake up so early by so such a large margin.
It had to be said that the man’s vitality was strong to the point of being frightening!
While Han Yunxi was sending off Gu Beiyue, Long Feiye got the whole story from Tang Li. “Big bro, that Gu Beiyue shouldn’t be an enemy,” Tang Li might be impulsive, but he wasn’t an idiot. In his eyes, Gu Beiyue was a complicated figure, but he didn’t seem to hold nefarious designs against them.
“Those who aren’t enemies aren’t necessarily friends,” Long Feiye had his own considerations. Meanwhile, Han Yunxi had returned immediately after sending Gu Beiyue off, so Tang Li didn’t say anything more on the matter.
“Your Highness, no matter what, you have to rest for a month!” Han Yunxi was very earnest. She knew that Long Feiye had tons of things to do, but nothing was more important than his own health. Her wide stare made her eyes seem even more teary.
“You cried!” Tang Li blurted out, finally noticing the state of Han Yunxi’s eyes.
Urk… Han Yunxi instantly looked away. Now that she’d regained her cool, she felt it was rather shameful that she wept. She simply pretended she hadn’t heard a thing and continued to speak. “Your Highness, why don’t you recover here, at the Hidden Pavilion? It’s peaceful and quiet here.”
Before Long Feiye could answer, Tang Li spoke up again, even scooting closer to Han Yunxi so he could check for himself. “You actually cried?!” In Tang Li’s memories, Han Yunxi was a woman with a ‘venomous heart and poisonous methods,’ a manly woman who would never cry!
Annoyed, Han Yunxi shoved him aside. “So what if I cried? Didn’t you go crazy and try to hit people back then?” He actually wanted to beat up Gu Beiyue! How abominable!
“That’s because I was made anxious with worry about His Majesty, get it?” Tang Li was usually too stingy to expression his “love” for his most beloved elder cousin.
“Can’t I be made anxious with worry, too?” Han Yunxi said in front of Long Feiye’s face. Tang Li was surprised. He’d only been gone for awhile, but Han Yunxi now had the guts to say things like that in front of Long Feiye. He glanced towards his cousin, only to see that man smiling slightly without a word.
Why does it feel like these two are making a public display of their affections? Although he knew this woman had a place in Long Feiye’s heart, progress like this seems all too fast!
“Sure! Of course you can!” Tang Li laughed and added meaningfully, “You’re his woman, after all. If you’re not anxious with worry about him, who will?” So speaking, he withdrew with a chuckle, leaving Han Yunxi and Long Feiye alone.
Han Yunxi was brave enough with Tang Li there, but his absence sent the room into silence, making her feel a little awkward. She stole a peek at Long Feiye, only to see him staring at her with amusement. She decided to stay calm and let him stare as he liked. But reality soon proved that Long Feiye was a far more patient man. Soon enough, she was feeling a little unbearable.
“Your Highness, go rest first. I’ll go prepare the prescription and help change your dressing later.” Han Yunxi was about to flee when Long Feiye beckoned to her with his right hand.
“Come here.”
Seeing this, Han Yunxi panicked. “Your Highness, you can’t move your arm like that!”
