Poison Genius Consort

m.
Grand Concubine Yi was a shrewd figure.
Under such circumstances, it wouldn ’t be easy for Long Feiye to ask her about information on the mama.
Her words made him hesitate.

”Your Highness, Grand Concubine Yi and chenqie both rely wholly on Your Highness.
It ’s just that Grand Concubine Yi needs Murong Wanru to comfort her.
If Your Highness trusts chenqie, then keep on pretending that you don ’t know a thing and leave everything to me.
Chenqie guarantees that I ’ll give Your Highness satisfactory results. ”

Long Feiye kept sizing Han Yunxi up without answering.

Growing anxious, Han Yunxi said hastily, ”Your Highness, for better or worse, you ’ve called her mufei for 20 some years.
You should know in your heart how she treats you. ”

Finally, Long Feiye broke into a cold smile.
”Han Yunxi, you certainly keep to your ties of comradeship. ”

Ties of comradeship?

All right, Han Yunxi couldn ’t presume to claim such a lofty honor, nor did she want to.
She just didn ’t want to kill Grand Concubine Yi.
Her face turned agitated as she looked sincerely towards Long Feiye.
His thoughts were unknown, but the sight of Han Yunxi ’s glittering, earnest eyes gradually increased the curve of his lips.
Finally, he agreed.

”All right, your lordship will await your results. ”

Han Yunxi rejoiced before getting up to personally send Long Feiye out the door.
She was about to shut it when Long Feiye turned back to ask, ”Han Yunxi, aren ’t you curious about your lordship ’s origins? ”

Han Yunxi already felt that this fellow didn ’t seem like Tianning royalty, but his origins had to be impressive.
Heaven knows where that old mama had found this guy for Grand Concubine Yi in the past.
Long Feiye ’s question verified Han Yunxi ’s conjectures, but revealed that he had yet more secrets to tell.
She gave a start and immediately expressed her views.
”Chenqie doesn ’t want to know anything she shouldn ’t! ”

The more she knew, the less she ’d be able to get free.
The more she knew, the more dangerous things would be.
The more she knew, the faster she ’d die! She wasn ’t that curious, so couldn ’t he let her off?

Long Feiye smiled and suddenly drew closer to Han Yunxi until she was pressed against the wall.
The peculiar, masculine aura specific to males suddenly surrounded her on all sides, along with a faint fragrance that spoke of aggression and ice.
There was no antidote for such a scent with the ability to intoxicate Han Yunxi until her whole body felt stiff and incomparably nervous.
Even though they were so close already, Long Feiye kept going until his lips were by her ear to speak.
His hot breath lightly brushed against her, making her feel ill at ease.
His words only added to her restlessness.

He said, ”Han Yunxi, Gu Qishao misunderstood.
It ’s your lordship ’s mufei that came from the Tang Clan.
However, he and your lordship are both curious about Lady Tianxin ’s…origins. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he backed away.
Han Yunxi didn ’t even get a chance to reply before he lightly pushed her into the room and helped her shut the door.
Han Yunxi didn ’t know how long she spaced out for before coming to her senses.
There was too much weighty information in Long Feiye ’s words!

He said, Gu Qishao misunderstood? So he knew about the day Gu Qishao showed up at the Han estate and suspected her identity? He said, ’your lordship ’s mufei? ’ Did this guy get used to using that particular term, or was there royal blood in him after all? But which imperial clan did it belong to? If his mufei came from the Tang Clan, weren ’t their women all forbidden from marrying outsiders? He said, Lady Tianxin ’s origins? So this guy had been investigating Lady Tianxin the whole time? If so, how much did he know of her birth?

Han Yunxi was thrown into confusion by all the implications.
She always assumed that this guy didn ’t have much to do when he went out, besides situations that needed her poison skills.
Unexpectedly, he knew nearly everything about her.
Her widened eyeballs spun in their sockets, lost in thought.
It was then that movement sounded from behind her as Grand Concubine Yi awoke.
Han Yunxi quickly retracted her thoughts and turned to see Grand Concubine Yi lying on her stomach.
She was half-awake and staring at her with furrowed brows.
Han Yunxi poured a cup of warm water before walking over to help her sit up and bring the rim to her lips.

Gradually, Grand Concubine Yi grew alert.
She didn ’t drink much before pushing aside Han Yunxi ’s hand and asking, ”Han Yunxi, what did you do to Wanru? ”

Tsk, tsk, she wasn ’t easy to deal with after all!

Han Yunxi took out three needles from her sleeve and placed them in Grand Concubine Yi ’s palm.
These were precisely the three that Murong Wanru had used in her attempt to kill Grand Concubine Yi.
They were Han Yunxi ’s acupuncture needles.
She didn ’t usually leave them lying around carelessly, but the one exception came when she was testing Princess Changping for poisons in the palace.

”Esteemed Imperial Concubine, it ’s your fortune that she didn ’t manage to frame me, ” Han Yunxi said coldly.

The carriage had gone on the wrong path before they were attacked by assassins.
Everything had been pre-arranged ahead of time.
Grand Concubine Yi was very clear on Murong Wanru ’s plot, but none of that mattered now.
The main point was that Han Yunxi had heard and discovered something she shouldn ’t have.
Grand Concubine Yi tossed aside the three needles before her tone turned severe.

”Where is my daughter? ”

Han Yunxi: The fact that we’ve used the same drama couple GIFs three times in a row is probably testament to the awkward nature of our relationship.

Long Feiye: Speak for yourself.
Who’s a couple with you?

Han Yunxi: I’m not doing this all by myself.
It takes two to tango.
Long Feiye: We are not tangoing!
Han Yunxi: Yes we are.
Long Feiye: No we’re not!
Han Yunxi: Yes, we are.

Long Feiye: We’re not.

Long Feiye: No.
Han Yunxi: Yes.
Long Feiye: No.
Han Yunxi: Yes.
Long Feiye: No!

Han Yunxi: If it’s really ‘no,’ why haven’t you stopped?

Han Yunxi: Why are you still arguing with me instead of getting to the point?
