Unlike the last ti she ca to Beiqing, this ti Ye Lingyue arrived as the Daxia Yuehou and the Female Lord of Purple Bamboo Ridge, so it was inconvenient for her to stay at the Feng Residence again.
The Daxia Embassy had Daxia guards stationed around, and with Feng Xun coming and going, it was bound to stir up gossip. Ye Lingyue hadn’t forgotten the cold treatnt and the negative comnts she received during her adventure in Xingxiu Cave.
However, Feng Xun seed sowhat displeased. He cast a cold glance at the waiting Daxia guards, assuming that Ye Lingyue was concerned about those guards reporting to Xiahou Qi. Without any reason, he felt a pang of sourness.
He didn’t argue further and after boarding the carriage, he let down the curtains.
After forcefully sending Feng Xun away, Ye Lingyue sowhat regretted it.
She recalled Feng Xun’s poor complexion when they parted ways.
But what could Ye Lingyue do? It was likely that her and Feng Xun’s incompatible eight characters had already been reported to Emperor Beiqing. Coupled with her previous relationships with Xiahou Qi and Bo Qing, if she continued to keep close ties with Feng Xun, it would only further convince Emperor Beiqing that she was of nefarious character.
Moreover, Ye Lingyue’s trip to Beiqing was not just to attend the coronation ceremony.
When Xiahou Qi sent a gift-laden carriage, he also brought a secret letter, hoping that Ye Lingyue would take this opportunity in Beiqing to make connections with envoys from other countries.
After cutting off his romantic ties, Xiahou Qi indeed proved to be an exceptional emperor.
In just one year of ruling, Daxia’s national strength had changed, but even a dying cal is bigger than a horse; Xiahou Qi was not yet ready to confront Emperor Beiqing outright.
When Ye Lingyue entered the post station, she suddenly noticed sothing stuffed inside little Zhiyo’s vest.
Recalling Earth Venerate’s silent deanor earlier, Ye Lingyue found a small wax-sealed bullet in little Zhiyo’s vest.
After crushing the bullet, Ye Lingyue found a note inside, which read,
"Stop investigating Feng Xun."
Ye Lingyue’s expression darkened as she crushed the note with her power.
Earth Venerate indeed knew Feng Xun, but why, when both were from Tongtian Pavilion, did Earth Venerate’s actions oppose those of Heavenly Venerate?
Heavenly Venerate’s words undoubtedly pointed Ye Lingyue towards Emperor Beiqing.
But Earth Venerate’s words had advised Ye Lingyue to give up on finding Emperor Beiqing.
The two Venerates of Tongtian Pavilion, are they friends or foes?
Ye Lingyue felt troubled; she was determined to cure Feng Xun’s illness.
Previously, even when they were just friends, she was wholeheartedly seeking a cure for Feng Xun’s illness, let alone now when he had beco her man.
She wanted her man to be as lively as normal people, to live in Beiqing if he wished, to live in Daxia if he desired.
With so days still before the Beiqing palace banquet, Ye Lingyue was not in a hurry. She followed her original plan, liaising with envoys from various countries and fulfilling her diplomatic duties.
To Ye Lingyue’s unexpected surprise, her plans were quickly disrupted by soone’s ddling.
After being apart from Feng Xun for a few days, he indeed hadn’t co to find her.
Ye Lingyue couldn’t help feeling sowhat disappointed, thinking that Feng Xun might be holding a grudge.
But on the morning of the third day, she was caught off guard by Housekeeper Mu who hastily stuffed her into the Feng Residence carriage.
"Young Master’s Cold Syndro has acted up again."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingyue grew anxious. By the ti she arrived at the Feng Residence, there were already over a dozen Alchemists and Imperial Physicians waiting.
Among the group of old n with white beards and wrinkled faces, Ye Lingyue spotted the one person she least wanted to see.
Sitting to one side, sipping tea with an air of pure and perfect beauty, like a "I’m a fairy" Xue Pianran.
Why is she here?
Xue Pianran also saw Ye Lingyue, and as the so-called love rivals t, jealousy was especially apparent.
Upon learning of Feng Xun’s attack from Cold Syndro, Xue Pianran rushed over imdiately, bringing Elixir Pills, only to be stopped by the Sword Slave.
They said the young master was in a bad mood, no strangers allowed.
Xue Pianran, upon hearing this, was however pleased.
Feng Xun’s Cold Syndro was extre, and when he was ill, he recognized no one. Others might not have seen it, but Xue Pianran and Cong Lv had both experienced it several tis.
Before Ye Lingyue had even opened the door, she heard a burst of irritable noise.
A series of crashing sounds made Ye Lingyue stop in her tracks subconsciously, while Xue Pianran just sneered.
"What’s the matter, don’t dare to go in? You’ve only seen the good side of Feng Xun, have you ever encountered him when he’s really sick? Every year if he spends winter in Beiqing, it’s like this. If you’re too scared, then get out of the Feng Residence."
"Master Mu, give the money to the doctors and Alchemists for the trouble of coming out in the cold weather. Also, prepare a coach to send the Heavenly Maiden back to the Dan Palace. There’s no need for outsiders to worry about the Feng Residence matters," said Ye Lingyue calmly, and her stance took Xue Pianran by surprise, making her teeth ache.
What is this? Quite the Ye Lingyue, not yet married into the Feng Residence and already putting on the airs of the lady of the house!
But alas, Housekeeper Mu and the Sword Slave, after hearing her, dispersed the reward money accordingly, and prepared the coach, without asking a single superfluous question.
The distinction between host and guest was crystal clear.
"Feng Xun, I’m coming in," said Ye Lingyue, and she pushed the door and walked in.
A chill struck as she entered the room, and Ye Lingyue saw the "sick" Feng Xun, who was curled up on the bed.
At the sight of Ye Lingyue, he suddenly jumped up.
Xue Pianran thought the sick Feng Xun would tell Ye Lingyue to get out.
But to everyone’s surprise, Feng Xun embraced Ye Lingyue as if she were a big cushion, and then, with a dark face, he shut the door with a bang right in front of Xue Pianran.
Inside the room, peace was restored, no more noise, no smashing or crashing.
Xue Pianran stood stiffly, looking incredulously at the closed door.
It wasn’t until the Sword Slave respectfully told her the coach was ready that Xue Pianran managed to move her stiff legs and walked out of the Feng Residence.
As she left the Feng Residence, Xue Pianran couldn’t help but lose her temper.
She said to the coachman, angrily,
"Go to the Imperial Palace at once!"
Inside Feng Xun’s room, Ye Lingyue bit hard on the "claw" that Feng Xun used to hold on to her tightly.
"Dead Feng Xun, you’re really sothing, daring to fake illness to deceive people."
"Yue’er, who made you so cruel, not seeing for three days. If you fear the talk of others, then I will find a way, so I can openly and legitimately have you ’cure’ . Curse to die again, and if soday I really do die, you’ll have to be a widow," Feng Xun said casually, hugging Ye Lingyue, comfortably leaning back on the couch, rubbing her soft hair, her soft body.
"Don’t talk about dying, I will find a way to cure your illness," Ye Lingyue said with a tight face.
"My Yue’er is angry, all right, I won’t talk about it. Yue’er, even if sothing really happens to , even if it’s Reincarnation, I will co back to your side," Feng Xun, who hadn’t been resting well these days, was also a bit weary. Holding Ye Lingyue and slling the dicinal Grass on her, he felt very comfortable and more peaceful than ever before.
