With that said, Du Xiao Li opened the door and walked out. Lu Jun Qi lied on the bed, watching the sunlight shine
in enveloping Du Xiao Li, making her think that those rays of light were coming from Du Xiao Li. A drop of tear
fell from the corner of her eye. From today onward, her life will no longer be the same as before.
The sound of the door opening startled the people in the pavilion outside. Their voices also attracted Du Xiao Li’s attention.
“Greetings your Majesty.” Du Xiao Li said as she bowed to Han Ming Ze.
“How’s third princess’s situation?” Han Ming Ze asked.
“It’s already without any major problems.” Du Xiao Li replied, “As long as she takes another two days of medicine, the poison will be completely cleared out.”
“Imperial Physician Du, this time, you’ve worked hard.” Han Ming Ze said.
This is something within this humble official’s duty.”
“Your Majesty, for the sake of developing the antidote, Li’er hasn’t properly rest in several days already, will you allow this younger brother to send her back to rest. After all, that side still has things waiting for her to handle.” Han Ming Yi saw the exhaustion on Du Xiao Li’s face and said.
“En, this emperor also heard just now that for the sake of developing this antidote, you didn’t sleep at all last night.
Right now, go back and rest. Ming Yi, you send her back, alright.”
“This younger brother will also………” Han Ming Hong suddenly opened his mouth and said.
Han Ming Yi’s gaze sank and said, “This prince’s fiancee this prince can personally send back. Your Majesty, this younger brother bids farewell.”
With that said, Han Ming Yi left pulling Du Xiao Li by the hand. Du Xiao Li let Xia Yuan stay behind to have her equipment all moved back to the Du Manor before going back to the estate. Han Ming Yi let Leng Yi stay behind to help Xia Yuan, while he himself took Du Xiao Li and got on the horse carriage parked outside the inn.
“You’d long prepared a horse carriage already.” Du Xiao Li sat inside the horse carriage, feeling somewhat drowsy.
Han Ming Yi had Du Xiao Li’s head lightly tilted over, letting her lay down on his leg, “If you’re tired, sleep for a while. When we reach the estate I’ll wake you. Right now, the poison has already been cured, so don’t worry about anything else for now. I will talk to the Emperor for you. You can just peacefully stay at the estate.”
“Alight.” Du Xiao Li rested against Han Ming Yi’s leg. He knew she didn’t like taking care of the matters afterwards, and he was willing to take care of those things for her. This kind of feeling made her feel like marrying him seemingly wouldn’t be too bad either.
Having not properly rested in several consecutive days, she was already unbearably sleepy. In addition to the horse carriage’s swaying, she very quickly closed her eyes. Before falling asleep, she suddenly thought of a question, “Big brother Yi, starting from when did I get used to having you by my side?”
Han Ming Yi lowered his head to look to her little face, reaching out to hold her shoulder. Before he could answer, she’d already fallen asleep. Seeing her fast asleep face, he lightly smiled and said, “I’m very happy you can fall asleep next to me.”
Du Xiao Li didn’t know how long she slept for. In short, she was waken by the sound of fighting.
“Awake?” Han Ming Yi saw Du Xiao Li open her eyes and softly asked.
Du Xiao Li nodded and got up from Han Ming Yi’s leg, emitting a thick ‘having just woken up’ air all over. She had been tired for so long and was finally able to rest for a while. To actually be disturbed awake by someone, really is unforgivable!
She pulled opened the carriage’s curtain at once and saw the people fighting outside. One was Leng Er and one was a unfamiliar man in white. The two were facing off in the air, temporarily unable to tell who was winning, and right below them was the grape vineyard.
Turns out, while she was asleep, they’d already reached the estate, and seeing she was still fast asleep, Han Ming Yi let Leng Er have the horse carriage stopped here, yet unexpectedly saw a strange man sneakily laughing out loud in the grape vineyard. Thinking that the Grand Empress Dowager was still here, Leng Er wanted to have him arrested.
But he didn’t expect that the other party’s martial arts skills weren’t weak and didn’t lag behind at all when fighting with Leng Er, and this fighting noise had Du Xiao Li disturbed from her sleep.
“I already told you, I’m just here to eat grapes. If you keep being like this, don’t blame me later.” Bai Ning Yuan had Leng Er repelled back with a palm and then landed on the grape trellis, complaining with a cold expression.
“It is whatever you say it is? Suddenly appearing at this estate, if not a spy then a thief. Regardless of what you do, I will have you captured today!” Leng Er also landed on the trellis, facing the other party straight on.
“Then I’ll just take your life first, once you become a ghost, then come and find me!” Bai Ning Yuan said.
“Then let’s just see if you have that ability!” Leng Er said, not to be outdone.
Du Xiao Li jumped down from the horse carriage and narrowed her eyes at the two people above the trellis. “Say, you’re ruining my grapes, who’s going to compensate me?”
“Ah—-” Hearing Du Xiao Li’s voice, Bai Ning Yuan lowered his head and suddenly cried out. “To think this big patch of grape vines were ruined wasting this many grapes, you’re unforgivable!”
“If you’d obediently turned yourself in, we wouldn’t have made the vineyard like this.” Leng Er said.
“I don’t care, it’s all your fault, you better compensate my grapes!” Bai Ning Yuan shouted towards Leng Er and began fighting again. Right now, the air he was emitting was entirely different from earlier. Before, it could be said that he was still playing around, but now, he really had the desire to kill.
His grapes?
Du Xiao Li was defeated by this person’s line of reasoning. Then seeing the movement of his hand, she shouted towards Leng Er, “Leng Er move back!”
Leng Er originally wanted to charge forward, but he knew Du Xiao Li wouldn’t tell him to move back for no reason, thus listened to her words and flew backwards, letting the powder scattered from Bai Ning Yuan’s hands be unable to find the target to poison.
Han Ming Yi also came down from the horse carriage and looked to Bai Ning Yuan, “Leng Er isn’t his opponent.”
Before Han Ming Yi could finish speaking, Leng Er already got struck back by Bai Ning Yuan’s palm. Han Ming Yi quickly flew up, one hand catching Leng Er and one hand countering Han Ming Yuan’s second move.
“Who are you?” Bai Ning Yuan was jolted back by Han Ming Yi’s attack, flipping back two circling before landing on the grape trellis, as he looked to Han Ming Yi in surprise.
To think there was someone that could push him back. This person’s strength so valiant!
Han Ming Yi had Leng Er placed on the ground and looked to Bai Ning Yuan, “When asking someone this line, shouldn’t you state who you are first?”
“Hmph, why should I tell you?” Bai Ning Yuan coldly snorted.
Han Ming Yi worried that the disturbance here will startle the Grand Empress Dowager and the others. He wanted to directly go up and have the other party subdued, but was stopped by Du Xiao Li’s loud voice.
“Big brother Yi, don’t move!”
Han Ming Yi puzzlingly looked to Du Xiao Li, unsure why she was stopping him right now.
“You’re poisoned. If you use your inner energy right now, it will cause the poison to activate.” Du Xiao Li explained.
“Haha, this little girl is rather smart, to actually be able to tell that he’s poisoned.” Bai Ning Yuan looked to Du Xiao Li and said. Perhaps because he liked to eat grapes, and Du Xiao Li was the owner of this place, he rather didn’t have any hostility towards her.
