Chapter 1185: They’re liars, I’m an idio (2/2)

Ning Jing was ignorant about everything and didn’t expect her casual comments to agitate Han Yunxi so much. Sensing something wrong, she asked, “Princess, is something wrong?”

“Hurry and tell me, what kind of medicine is Mu Linger making for Gu Beiyue? Who’s it for?” Han Yunxi didn’t even realize her hands were shaking. But Ning Jing noticed. She wondered what could be so important that scared Han Yunxi so much before she even started explaining.

“Say something!” Han Yunxi shouted.

If Gu Beiyue was asking Mu Linger for help with Gu Qishao’s matters, that means the letters from Medical City were all fake!

That means Long Feiye, Gu Beiyue, and Gu Qishao have been lying to me since I left Medical City and gave birth to Rui’er!

Why are they lying to me?

If they can’t find the ingredients, so be it. Hasn’t Gu Qishao been fine all along? We were looking for ingredients to prevent something from happening in the future! They don’t need to hide it from me if they fail.

Unless something’s happened to Gu Qishao? What’s serious enough to make all three of them hide the truth?

Han Yunxi’s feelings were in a mess as her thoughts grew jumbled. She didn’t dare think any further as her uneasiness grew. It was almost on the verge of swallowing up all her rationality. A frightened Ning Jing didn’t know what to say. Outside, Zhao mama had already rushed in after hearing the commotion.

“Princess, you two...what’s happened with you two?” Zhao mama asked.

Han Yunxi recovered enough to notice her own instability. But it was impossible for her to calm down. She tugged at Ning Jing’s hand and asked earnestly, “Ning Jing, what did Linger go to do in Medical City? Can you please tell me everything you know?”

Ning Jing nodded. “I don’t know much,” she began, “But Linger said Doctor Gu invited her there to help him make medicine. She had to go as soon as she could because Doctor Gu’s patient was in critical condition…”

Han Yunxi released Ning Jing’s hand and fell back into her seat.

“Linger wanted to wait until I went back before leaving, but Doctor Gu said if they couldn’t come up with the medicine within the next two months, that patient would die.” By the time Ning Jing finished, Han Yunxi’s complexion was completely white. She seemed to be robbed of all energy. Sitting helplessly on the bed, she stared at Ning Jing until...tears brimmed at her eyes.

Sobbing, she cried, “little Qi! It’s Little Qi, it’s him!”

Wasn’t it obvious enough? Long Feiye and the rest were all lying to her! Every single one of them! All of the letters from Medical City had been a sham!

“Liars!”

“They’re all liars!”

Tears fell like rain down Han Yunxi’s face. She didn’t even put on her rooms, but got off the bed in her socks. “Where’s Long Feiye? I want to see Long Feiye! Where is he?!”

She ran out of the tent before Ning Jing and Zhao mama could react. By the time they chased her outside, Han Yunxi was already kneeling in the snow.

“Long Feiye! Come out this instant! Right now!”

“Liars, you’re all liars! All of you lied to me again! Again and again!”

“Why did you lie to me?!”

The shadow guards and servants had all chased after all while Zhao mama and Ning Jing were trying to pull Han Yunxi to her feet. After all, the princess was still in her confinement period. She wasn’t allowed to go out! Besides that, even ordinary people would catch a cold if they knelt in the snow with socks but no shoes. Moreover, it was much colder at night with the fierce north wind.

How could Han Yunxi take it?

Zhao mama had no idea what was going on, but she burst into tears from panic too. She took a thick fox-fur cloak and rested it on the princess’s shoulders before hugging her tight. “Princess, no matter what’s happened, you have to listen to this old servant. Hurry back inside!”

Ning Jing was holding a pair of brocade shoes and crouching in the snow to place them on Han Yunxi’s feet. The various servant girls didn’t bother with being rude and all came over to help, holding down Han Yunxi’s arms and legs in fear of her thrashing or moving about. Han Yunxi didn’t resist them, nor did she have any energy. Her eyes, however, didn’t stop streaming tears.

“I want to see Long Feiye...I want to see Long Feiye...I want to see Little Qi...I want to see him!”

“They can’t do this! I want to see them...they can’t lie to me like this, they can’t!”

“Do they take me for an idiot? …I am an idiot!”

“Ning Jing, I’m an idiot!”

“Sobsob...they’re liars and I’m an idiot…”

“Ning Jing, do you know? Gu Beiyue’s patient is Little Qi… Do you know? If Gu Beiyue hadn’t run out of options, he never would have summoned Mu Linger...he wouldn’t have…”

Han Yunxi sobbed her heart out. Ning Jing only stood frozen in place, never expecting this!

Where’s Mu Linger?

Does she know Gu Beiyue’s patient is her Qi gege?

A bunch of servant girls were circling Han Yunxi when Chu Xifeng returned from outside. When he saw the crowd in front of the tent, he quickly came to ask what was the matter. But none of them could explain anything beyond the fact that the princess wanted to see His Highness and Gu Qishao.

Hearing this, Chu Xifeng lost his mind. He quickly asked the people beside him, “Then where’s His Highness? Where is he?”
