Feeling embarrassed, Yun Qian ng imdiately covered the four-leafed grass without thinking about what she was doing. She refused to let Chu Fei Yang see her terrible stitching.
"Ouch!" She forgot that the thin and sharp needle was still stuck in the cloth and accidentally pricked her right index finger. The sudden pain made Yun Qian ng lightly exclaim, and her delicate eyebrows knitted tightly.
"How careless." Chu Fei Yang slightly scolded Yun Qian ng's rare carelessness. He then took a hold of her right hand and examined it. Seeing that a drop of red blood appeared on the light-pink finger, he placed the finger in his mouth imdiately.
Suddenly, the whole room was completely quiet. Yun Qian ng blushed seeing that her finger was in Chu Fei Yang's mouth. anwhile, Chu Fei Yang was looking down and giving her hand his undivided attention, as if nothing else in the world was more important than her hand. This caused Yun Qian ng to have a peculiar sensation. She hurriedly pulled back her finger without notice, hiding her right fist under her sleeve. She then looked at the window in embarrassnt. Though the night was already cloudy, a sliver of moonlight could still be seen. Her restless heart slowly cald down, yet her face was still hot and red. She still felt rather embarrassed and blad herself for being so careless a mont ago.
"Hay!" Chu Fei Yang sighed softly. His dark but lustrous eyes stared closely at Yun Qian ng with an unusual amount of concentration, as if he wanted to imprint Yun Qian ng's face into his mind.
Pretending not to notice him, Yun Qian ng smoothly stored away her embroidery with the other pieces of cloths and yarn. She even checked again to make sure that Chu Fei Yang would not see her terrible handywork. Afterwards, she collected herself and looked at Chu Fei Yang, then sneered at him, "So it's possible for xiangye to sigh."
For soone who did not even fear the Empress Dowager, Yun Qian ng could not think of anything that could give Chu Fei Yang such a hard ti. Or could it be...
A mysterious/startled light flashed through Yun Qian ng's eyes as she unconsciously stole another look at the safely hidden embroidery. Ultimately, she comforted herself with the thought that he would not sigh for sothing as trivial as that.
"There's a plague in Luo City. You've already heard about it, right?" Chu Fei Yang softly asked. His tone contained a sense of helplessness.
Yun Qian ng nodded. The news about the plague had already spread throughout the capital. Born into a political family, how would she not know about it?
Aside from the fact that the citizens were all terrified by the disease, she did not know what exactly the disease was. Even the number of guards in xiangfu had increased significantly. Presumably, Yun Xuan Zhi was afraid that the plague might infect individuals within xiangfu. Thus, he had increased the security to prevent outsiders from infiltrating xiangfu.
"Why are you discussing this with ? Is there a solution to it already?" Yun Qian ng slightly frowned and gazed directly into Chu Fei Yang's eyes. The bright black pupils only contained her reflection. The concentrated look only made Yun Qian ng uneasy. She had an inkling that sothing was going to happen, but forced the thought to the back of her mind as soon as it ca.
Chu Fei Yang smiled, shook his head, and then reached for Yun Qian ng's hands and rubbed her smooth and delicate hands with his fingers. He softly said, "When I'm not around, you need to be extra careful. If anything happens, have Xi Lin inform ."
Yun Qian ng imdiately frowned. Her heartbeat quickened and she questioned, "You are going to Luo City?"
Witnessing how fast Yun Qian ng's mind worked as she understood his aning, Chu Fei Yang laughed with gratification. He knew that he could not hide anything from her ticulousness. He rely revealed so information and she had imdiately guessed it. In front of this yatou, he really did not have any secrets.
Seeing him laugh, Yun Qian ng suddenly pulled her hand away. Her brows creased even tighter and she reproached Chu Fei Yang, "Currently, even the type of the disease is still unknown, and yet you're going to go so abruptly? If sothing bad were to happen, have you thought of the consequences? Moreover, you're not a taiyi, you do not have any knowledge in dicine. If you go there, you would not only be of no help, but you might even sacrifice your life. What's your reason for doing this? What's the reason for you to put your life at risk?"
Yun Qian ng did not notice that her eyes were actually showing deep concern for Chu Fei Yang. Her reproach had contained a rare agitation, which made Chu Fei Yang ecstatic. His right hand quickly grabbed her wrist and, with a little force, pulled Yun Qian ng into his chest. He held Yun Qian ng's thin waist with his other hand and his thin lips lightly touched her ear. Then he slowly said, "I will be extrely careful. A taiyi will also be going with . I assure you nothing bad will happen. Every three days, I will send you a letter to inform you of the situation. Don't worry."
"Who said I was worried?" her cheeks were so close to the warm chest, but Yun Qian ng still did not want to admit to worrying. Her mind was quick in processing the information. She raised her head to look at Chu Fei Yang and suggested, "If you really want to go to Luo City, you can invite Xiao Nie daifu from Rong Shan Tang to accompany you. Although he didn't enter the palace to beco a taiyi, he is an expert in dicine and has admirable dical ethics. With his help, if he goes to Luo City with you, you could surely do things with half the effort."
Toward Yun Qian ng's suggestion, Chu Fei Yang laughed and relaxed. He answered, "I ca over to borrow him from you. Although Rong Shan Tang isn't very acknowledged by the upper class of the capital, the na of Xiao Nie daifu is very widespread among the citizens. If he were to go to Luo City, he would be able to help more than those taiyi who had long forgotten what it ans to be a doctor after the extravagant lifestyle they had in the Palace. But, does ng'er have any other intentions for suggesting this person to ?"
Chu Fei Yang's cunning eyes stared at Yun Qian ng as if he had already guessed Yun Qian ng's true intentions.
Yun Qian ng also looked right back at Chu Fei Yang without evading or hiding anything. The honesty and sincerity in her eyes were what Chu Fei Yang valued most. Yun Qian ng seldom expressed this kind of emotion in front of others, which made Chu Fei Yang treasure this mont even more. He could only use the opportunity of this last mont tonight to quietly cuddle with her and tell her all his plans, "I will go with yeye this ti. With regards to the wedding, Shang Guan mama will be in charge of everything. Recently, the capital has been quite chaotic. If you don't have any urgent matters, it's better to just stay in xiangfu for your safety. ng'er, I know that you're worried about Qu Fei Qing, but the situation now is quite crucial. The handling of Qu Fei Qing's matter would have to be delayed. The only thing you need to do is to protect yourself and not let worry. Do you understand?"
Quietly listening to Chu Fei Yang's plans, Yun Qian ng only nodded from ti to ti. Chu Fei Yang was only thinking of her safety and comforting her while not considering that it was a hundred tis more dangerous for him to go to the infected area. Thus, she reminded him, "Isn't there any information about the plague in the court? Like the symptoms and reactions?"
If she knew the symptoms, she might be able to help out a little.
Chu Fei Yang shook his head and said with so regret, "There's none. The plague happened too suddenly and its transmission is expeditious. Even the doctors in Luo City died because of the plague. Currently, the citizens around the area are all trying to stay away. There are no doctors willing to enter Luo City to help cure the illness."
Though Yun Qian ng's expression beca more grave, her eyes betrayed a certain seriousness as she said, "When you arrive at Luo City, make sure to send as much information about the symptoms of the patients as you can."
Seeing her expression, Chu Fei Yang knew that she was undoubtedly concerned about him. He was touched by her reaction and excitent bubbled up in his eyes. He lowered his head to get closer to Yun Qian ng's face, and they looked at each other seriously. When he lowered his head, Chu Fei Yang also slowly opened his mouth, "Don't worry, I will not let you down. But receiving so much concern from ng'er really overwhelms with joy. If possible—Ah!"
As Chu Fei Yang blabbed, Yun Qian ng harshly stepped on him. Her unexpected action made Chu Fei Yang exclaim, but he only received a glare from Yun Qian ng in return.
Staring at Yun Qian ng, who had already guessed his intentions, Chu Fei Yang did not look embarrassed at all. Instead, he lifted the corner of his mouth and coaxed Yun Qian ng's body closer to his. He only quietly hugged her and neither of them said anything more.
Savouring the light natural fragrance from her hair, Chu Fei Yang relaxingly closed his eyes, enjoying their quiet and peaceful mont together.
Yun Qian ng even extended her arms and hugged Chu Fei Yang's waist. She was sowhat worried, but knew that he would definitely take good care of himself. Thus, she also closed her eyes and kept her face nestled into the warm chest, cherishing the remaining monts they had together.
"ng'er, I might need to stay in Luo City for quite so ti. Do you have any gifts for ?" Slightly opening his eyes, Chu Fei Yang looked at the table and then at the corner of the cloth Yun Qian ng had hurriedly hidden a while ago.
Hearing the teasing tone in Chu Fei Yang's voice, Yun Qian ng looked embarrassed. She raised her head and, as expected, caught the laughter on Chu Fei Yang's face. She let her hands fall from around Chu Fei Yang's waist from embarrassnt and said, "This goodbye hug is already the best gift."
Afterwards, Yun Qian ng laughed like a little fox. Her eyes were as bright and glittering as the stars in the sky, with a dimple adorning her right cheek from her smile. The craftiness in her eyes and rose tinted cheeks enticed Chu Fei Yang. Abruptly, he lower his head and captured Yun Qian ng's red lips. Startling her, he softly kissed her with the purpose of lightly punishing her.
Unlike the quick pecks from before, this kiss was impassioned. Chu Fei Yang enclosed his arms around Yun Qian ng, tightly pulling her closer to his chest. Gradually, unsatisfied with just the simple touching of lips, the pressure from his lips increased. Yearning for Yun Qian ng's approval, his chilled lips caressed Yun Qian ng's lips and took advantage of the mont when Yun Qian ng opened her mouth to breath to insert his tongue, successfully occupying his city. Not giving Yun Qian ng a chance to calm her mind, he pressed his advantage and enjoyed the mont.
Yun Qian ng glared at Chu Fei Yang because of the sudden action. Seeing that he was becoming more and more audacious, she readied her hand, planning to pinch Chu Fei Yang's waist. But seeing his eyes closed and brows knitted slightly, a serious and sincere expression on his face, Yun Qian ng's heart ached. Instead, she used her arms to hug Chu Fei Yang's waist, slowly closed her eyes, and accepted the love from Chu Fei Yang through his lips.
After a while, Chu Fei Yang reluctantly left Yun Qian ng's lips, then lightly caressed her hair with one hand and pressed her head to his chest. His strong heartbeat made Yun Qian ng regain her senses. She decided not to scold him but instead listened carefully to Chu Fei Yang's rare monts of losing control of his emotions.
"I'll leave Xi Lin with you. If anything happens, have Xi Lin send a letter by pigeon. No need to try solving the problem by yourself only to end up in danger again." Chu Fei Yang felt that he should exhort her again after recalling Yun Qian ng's previous daring actions.
Yun Qian ng suddenly raised her head. Her consciousness had already returned and she totally was not in agreent with the suggestion. She declined sowhat adamantly, "I don't lack people by my side. Instead, you need more people with you. I will also be more relieved if Xi Lin accompanied you."
Although a guard could not be of much help against a disease, having more people by Chu Fei Yang's side was still safer.
Yun Qian ng's eyes were full of concern, so Chu Fei Yang chose not to say anything further. He rely reached for the jade pendant from his waist and placed it in her hand. He quietly looked at her before disentangling her from his embrace. His nimble body moved silently in the night as he disappeared from Yun Qian ng's line of sight.
Yun Qian ng could not maintain her calmness anymore. Her eyes showed worry, but she knew that it was impossible for Chu Fei Yang not to go. She could only close her eyes and, when she opened them again, there was nothing but calmness left in them.
Upon inspection, the quality of jade pendant in her hand looked well worth several cities. She was fully aware that Chu Fei Yang leaving it in her hands was a way for him to give her another layer of protection.
After she kept the jade pendant, Yun Qian ng retrieved the box containing silk but discovered that her embroidery had disappeared. Yun Qian ng could not help the light blush that blood on her cheeks. She was certain that Chu Fei Yang had secretly taken it with him. But her work was really too embarrassing to present to other people. He really had no worry of being laughed at.
The night was still dark and the autumn breeze blowed softly. Having returned from Yun xiangfu, Chu Fei Yang was a bit surprised to see all of Chu xiangfu brightly lit. He imdiately knew who had co to his fu. Hiding all his emotions, Chu Fei Yang followed the corridor that would quickly return him to his study.
