The carriage’s curtain was lifted. The person inside was none other than Cheng Yifei himself!

If Gu Feiyan had not seen him in such a critical state, seeing how he was now, she would not have known that he had just returned from hell's gate two or three days ago.

It was truly a handsome face with slanted eyebrows and starry eyes. Compared to a few days ago, it was even more gentle and sickly, and it was filled with a tenacity that no one could ignore.

Gu Feiyan was very sure that this guy had not recovered yet, but no matter how you looked at it, he seemed more energetic than a normal person.

If Old General Cheng hadn't died in battle three years ago, Cheng Yifei would still be a young general now. He was only three years older than Qi Yu. However, if Qi Yu wanted to stand next to him, he would need to lower his aura first!

Cheng Yifei was staring at the main door of the house and did not notice Gu Feiyan. The carriage slowly stopped. Gu Feiyan's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately turned around and left.

When it rains, it pours. How could she not escape?

Unfortunately, before even taking a few steps, an arrow whistled past her back, brushed past her ear and landed on the ground in front of her. "Little medicine girl, this general is already at your doorstep, and you still turn around and leave?" This General is very angry? "Hahaha!"

He had noticed her long ago.

That’s not right. How did he recognize her? Could it be that he wasn't really unconscious when he was sick?

Cheng Yifei's laughter made it hard for others to tell if he was really angry or just joking. However, Gu Feiyan was well aware that the arrow had not been ambiguous.

She touched her ears and composed herself before turning around.

Cheng Yifei had already got off the carriage. He wore a silver white armor, and a large, blood-red cloak with white fox fur on the edges. He was tall and sturdy, and would be the center of attention at any moment.

He had the toughness of a soldier, but not the righteousness of a soldier. At this moment, he was walking step by step towards Gu Feiyan, and the corners of his mouth hooked into a faint evil smile.

Other than comforting herself and adapting to the situation, what else could Gu Feiyan do?

Unexpectedly, Cheng Yifei stopped in front of her with a chuckle. "Little medicine girl, you saved this general's life, so what do you want? Hurry up and say it! "

Uh...

Could it be that he had specially come to thank her and not find fault with her? Impossible! Even if he did not care about her status as the Qi Family's future wife, nor about the rumor that slandered him for being lecherous, he would not have come running over so hastily!

No matter how she thought about it, something didn't seem right. Cheng Yifei was waiting with great interest as if he was very patient.

In the end, Gu Feiyan smiled and said, "General, you're too serious. I just did my job, that's all. I don't want any rewards. I need to go back to the palace immediately. Please forgive me for being unable to entertain you. I... You're going first? "

Cheng Yifei did not say anything, but the smile on his face became more playful.

Gu Feiyan acted as if he had tacitly agreed. She quickly turned around, but before she could take a step, Cheng Yifei was already in front of her, blocking her way.

"Little medicine girl, this general just came over from the Imperial Pharmacy. I heard from the supervisor that you applied for ten days leave?"

Gu Feiyan was embarrassed, not daring to look him in the eye. Cheng Yifei took out a prescription and placed it in front of her eyes. "Little medicine girl, do you remember this prescription?"

Gu Feiyan was slightly surprised. Wasn't this the forged prescription that she had secretly placed in Imperial Physician Su's medicine box?

Even if Imperial Physician Su found something fishy, he wouldn't have suspected her so quickly. There were quite a few maids helped to concoct the medicine!

Forging a prescription was a very complicated matter. It involved a lot of people, and the real culprit was most likely a powerful figure. She was not stupid. She only wanted to play dirty and did not want to publicly interfere in this matter and create trouble for herself!

Gu Feiyan pretended to be serious. She looked at it for a long time before replying, "I, I've taken too many prescriptions. I can't remember them at the moment."

Cheng Yifei bent down and brought the prescription closer, allowing Gu Feiyan to see more clearly.

Before Gu Feiyan's brain could come up with a countermeasure, her stomach was already growling unhappily. She wanted to ignore it, but Cheng Yifei also heard it.

He startled, then laughed and asked, "Hungry so early? Didn't you eat lunch? "

Not only did she not eat in the afternoon, she had not eaten since last night!

Before Gu Feiyan could say anything, Cheng Yifei quickly kept the prescription, "Let's go, this general will treat you to a meal!"

There is no such thing as a free lunch. However, her stomach was betraying her, rumbling nonstop. Cheng Yifei's gaze fell on her stomach, causing her ears to redden from embarrassment.

"Let's go!"

Cheng Yifei laughed and turned to leave, but seeing that Gu Feiyan was still standing there without moving, he deliberately turned back and asked, "This general wants to treat you to a meal, not to eat you. What are you afraid of? A guilty conscience? "

"No!"

Gu Feiyan immediately denied it. She did not feel guilty at all. If he wanted to treat her to a meal for a reason, then so be it! Only after eating her fill will she have the strength to continue playing dumb! She turned around and said, "Then I will rather accept respectfully than to decline courteously!"

Gu Feiyan got into Cheng Yifei's carriage at the entrance. She thought that Cheng Yifei would take her to a place where there were few people. After all, her identity was special, so he should avoid her. However, who would have thought that this fellow would actually go to the busiest street in Jinyang City?

By the time she realized something was wrong, she couldn't get out of the carriage. Seeing her expression changed, Cheng Yifei smiled and said, "Let's go to Fortune Tower. The dishes there are good."

Fortune Tower?

It was the most bustling restaurant in Jinyang City. No matter if it was the commoners or the nobles, they all liked to go there. It was rumored that Prince Jing especially liked the dishes there and almost invited the chef to his mansion.

What in the world is this fellow trying to do with such a high profile?

A group of cavalrymen escorting a carriage through the streets, that is blatantly seeking publicity.

After waving his hand, the carriage stopped in front of the entrance to Fortune Tower. Without a doubt, Cheng Yifei's carriage had been recognized. There seemed to be a lot of people watching from outside, and one could even hear woman's excited cries.

Cheng Yifei's admirers outside the palace were no less obsessed and crazy than Wen Yurou!

Gu Feiyan's brows knitted tightly, she was very clear that if she were to disembark from Cheng Yifei's carriage in front of everyone's eyes, her previous efforts to counterattack Wen Yurou would have been in vain, and the rumors would have become even more crazy!

It was very lively outside, but the inside of the carriage was very quiet.

Cheng Yifei obviously didn't have any plans to get off the carriage. He took out the prescription and handed it to Gu Feiyan with a smile, "Tell this general, do you recognize this prescription? Perhaps, this general will consider changing to a different place to eat. After all, it's still early. "

So that's how it was!

This fellow didn't really want to treat her to a meal, but to use such a method to threaten her!

Gu Feiyan covertly lifted the window curtain. Seeing that it was really lively outside, there were already a circle of people surrounding them.

Cheng Yifei looked out the window as he spoke, "Little girl, tell this general, why did you intentionally leave the prescription in Imperial Physician Su's medical box? What do you want to remind Imperial Physician Su about? "

Gu Feiyan had an innocent look on her face. "General Cheng, what are you talking about?"

Cheng Yifei's voice suddenly turned cold, "Do you really think this general was unconscious that day? I saw you secretly placed this prescription with my own eyes! "

Nani?

That day, Gu Feiyan's innocent expression froze …
