Poison Genius Consort

nglin glanced at Long Feiye, who didn’t say anything one way or another.
“Call her out,” he said coldly.

Xu Donglin called a few times from outside the tent, but there was no response.

“What’s going on?” Long Feiye’s eyes flashed with worry.

Of course Xu Donglin knew what was wrong.
The princess had been sleeping during the daytime these past few days, so she must be sleeping in today as well.
But he didn’t explain a word, choosing instead to slap himself on the thigh.
“Aiya, could something have happened? The princess hasn’t come out all morning.
Your Highness, general, could the West Qin princess have…escaped?”

At his words, Long Feiye rushed into the tent.
“Han Yunxi!” he cried in alarm.

No matter how deeply Han Yunxi was sleeping, she was instantly startled awake.
Still groggy, she heard Long Feiye’s voice and instantly got up to lift the curtains.
Her sleepy face and long, tousled hair made a beautiful vision with her nightgown.
The fair white skin of her jade-like arms and the loose cut of her collar moved to reveal the curves of her chest, painting a picture of spring’s splendor.
Long Feiye froze, while Han Yunxi immediately woke up.

At this moment, Baili Yuanlong rushed in as well.
“You Highness, why did–”

The instant before he entered, Long Feiye dashed forward and pushed Han Yunxi into the inner partition before drawing down the heavy curtains.
Not expecting this, Han Yunxi almost tumbled to the ground; fortunately, Long Feiye grabbed her by the wrist in time.
She fell back at the same time her nightgown slipped downward, exposing her wide.
Han Yunxi really wasn’t used to wearing the dudou of the ancients because she felt it was too thing.
She always needed to wear extra layers before she felt covered up.
That single piece of wine-red garment across her chest was her custom-tailored bra.
Even so, how could it cover up her proud, round peaks?

Long Feiye’s eyes locked gazes with her before he couldn’t resist looking down.
Whenever he viewed her loveliness, it was with a scrutinizing, even severe gaze that made Han Yunxi fearful in hindsight.
He really was scary and extremely domineering when he looked serious.
Even she had no room to negotiate with him then.
Baili Yuanlong was still outside the curtain.
When Han Yunxi saw Long Feiye about to lose control, she hastily drew her jacket close and muttered under her breath, “Long Feiye!”

By now, Baili Yuanlong had raised his voice.
“Your Highness, are you inside? Has something happened? Is Han Yunxi still there, and is everything alright?”

Long Feiye didn’t move beyond continuing to stare at her.
Han Yunxi grew desperate.
She was about to remind him again when Long Feiye suddenly hauled her over, buried his head in her bosom, and gave a vicious bite to the deep ravine there.
After pausing a moment, he let her go and turned to leave.

Han Yunxi was stunned.
She stood unmoving as she felt like something had been sprinkled over her body and heart, making her indescribably restless.
There was an empty feeling of dissatisfaction left behind as well.

Long Feiye! Long Feiye! She cursed silently in her heart. Abominable!

They were only separated by a single curtain.
Outside, an expressionless Long Feiye faced Baili Yuanlong and said, “She’s asleep.
Later on, have Baili Mingxiang arrange for a few servant girls to wait on her.”

There were no female servants in the military and even less womenfolk to begin with.
They could only find Baili Mingxiang or Zhao mama for help.

“Yes! It’s good that nothing happened.
Your Highness should hurry up and go back to rest,” Baili Yuanlong agreed.

Once the two men were gone, Han Yunxi’s heart was still beating fast.
By the time she hastily got dressed and went outside, Long Feiye had already reached the main barracks. 

“When did he come back? Why didn’t you wake me up!” Han Yunxi murmured.

Xu Donglin was all innocence.
“Mistress, His Highness set out late last night and arrived at least two hours in advance.
This subordinate didn’t expect it, either!”

“He rushed back overnight?” Han Yunxi’s heart ached.
She originally wanted Xu Donglin to find a reason for them to meet, but now she’d rather he rest instead.
Tonight’s bonfire banquet would definitely last until late night again.
Although he had a sturdy body, she didn’t want him to suffer like so. 

“Mistress, Baili Yuanlong won’t let you join in the banquet.
His Highness didn’t say anything, so I don’t know if you can participate,” Xu Donglin reminded her.
“His Highness will probably be readying for his bath right now.
After he rests, this subordinate will go ask him.”

Han Yunxi nodded without a word. Whatever the case, I’ll have to wait until night for a chance to talk with Long Feiye separately.

Ever since their conversation in the carriage, where she’d told him about her origins, they hadn’t had a chance to talk alone in days.
It wasn’t clear what Long Feiye thought about it all.
Han Yunxi could only wait.
But it wasn’t long before Zhao mama brought a few shadow guards to deliver over ten chests.

Seeing this, the mermaid soldiers immediately surrounded them.
“Zhao mama, these are…?”

Zhao mama’s face was full of complaints.
“This old woman has lived so long, but I’ve never seen such a woman! His Highness gives her a bit of face and she thinks she can open a dyehouse! Her nose is stuck up so high, it’s grown up her face! She actually asked His Highness for ten chests of clothes and jewelry.
When he refused, she demanded they be sent over from West Qin.
Heheh, if we don’t deliver these to her, people might think East Qin can’t even afford clothes and accessories! Tell me now, isn’t that just aggravating?”

The mermaid soldiers had been fully suppressed by Xu Donglin these few days, so they didn’t dare to give voice to their anger.
Hearing Zhao mama’s verbal cursing made them fully satisfied as they chimed in with agreement.
Zhao mama seized the chance to say it was better to bring in the chests quickly before they were told to hurry up.
Thus, all ten chests made it safely into the tent.

Han Yunxi had long heard Zhao mama’s playacting skills.
Now she looked doubtfully at the ten boxes with a face full of doubt.
After the shadow guards left, she finally asked, “Zhao mama, what’s going on? What are these?”
