Chapter 75 Idiot, His displeasure

Afraid that she would be hungry, Cheng Yifei arranged for a servant girl to serve her dinner before he went to see Lord Gong.

As soon as Gu Feiyan saw the rice porridge and vegetables, a warm feeling surfaced in her heart. She did not expect that Cheng Yifei, a man who lived in the military, would be so meticulous. As she ate, she pondered on the purpose of Lord Gong's visit.

After a long while, Cheng Yifei returned with a smile. "Little medicine girl, this is good news. Take a guess."

Gu Feiyan urged while eating, "Stop being suspenseful and tell me quickly."

"What a coincidence! How did she get pulled in?"

Gu Feiyan was incredulous. Someone had just given her a pillow whenever she wanted to sleep?

"The assassins who kidnapped you revealed Eunuch Wu, saying that it was Eunuch Wu who bribed Pharmacist Jian to find out the medicine’s delivery route. They had just asked permission to enter the palace to arrest someone when they discovered that Eunuch Wu had disappeared. Lord Gong, he has come for … "

Before Cheng Yifei could finish his words, a big mouthful of porridge sprayed out from Gu Feiyan's mouth, spraying all over his face.

Cheng Yifei was stunned, as she hurriedly apologized, "I didn't do it on purpose."

The surrounding maids all thought that the general was about to lose his temper and were so frightened that they fell to their knees. However, Cheng Yifei wiped his face randomly and snappily asked, "Isn't it just two cases, what are you so excited about?"

Gu Feiyan was not excited, but frightened!

The assassin who robbed the medicine was none other than Stinky Ice-cube. Those assassins were arranged as scapegoats by Stinky Ice-cube to be captured by Justice Court. Moreover, Stinky Ice-cube knew that the route to deliver the medicine wasn't revealed by Eunuch Wu, and had nothing to do with Pharmacist Jian.

Now that the Stinky Ice-cube had slandered Eunuch Wu to let the devil take the blame, Eunuch Wu and Pharmacist Jian were easily implicated. The two cases were also implicated.

This was clearly taking advantage of the situation!

In other words, the real reason why Stinky Ice-cube had arranged that fake kidnapping wasn't because he was afraid that the Justice Courts would find out about him, but because he wanted his subordinates to stay in the justice Courts and use them as false witnesses. No wonder he had left Eunuch Wu here with Cheng Yifei. He had already made arrangements to send Eunuch Wu off on his own accord!

Wasn't this sort of shrewdness a little too deep?

Gu Feiyan had always felt that the old fox was meticulous and his methods were sinister. Now she realized that Stinky Ice-cube was not one bit inferior to him, perhaps even superior!

This big show involved so many people, but in reality, it was just a secret contest between the two of them. Could this not be scary?

"What are you thinking?"

After Cheng Yifei asked, Gu Feiyan finally recovered from her thoughts. Of course she didn't dare to tell the truth, she only explained, "Of course I'm excited about such a coincidental matter! His Highness Prince Jing had entered the palace to see the emperor. If the emperor decided on the verdict, then things would be bad. Hurry, think of a way to hand over Eunuch Wu and the stolen goods."

Now, everyone thought that the person behind Pharmacist Jian was the Qi family. As long as Cheng Yifei handed Eunuch Wu over, the case would be turned around and the Qi family would have a chance to cry out their grievances!

Cheng Yifei hesitated before asking, "Little medicine girl, will you … Wait for my news?"

Gu Feiyan pondered the inconvenience of her hands and feet. It would be difficult to see Cheng Yifei again when she returned to Prince Jing's estate. She nodded. "I'll wait for your news before I leave. Hurry and come back!"

Cheng Yifei was overjoyed, and only after calling a few maids to come and serve Gu Feiyan did he relax and leave.

Gu Feiyan really needed to be served. With the help of her maid, she washed up and looked like she had gotten rid of all the bad luck in her body. Her whole body felt much more refreshed.

Gu Feiyan asked the maid for a guest room before she dismissed them. She sat on the couch, hesitated, and then bit off the bandage on her hand with her mouth. She then painfully removed the bandage on her foot.

There was no other way. If she wanted her injuries to heal faster, she could only suffer once more.

Although the medicine that the female imperial physician helped her apply was excellent, in the end it couldn't compare to the medicine she made herself. Her dressing didn't have to be changed. She would be able to heal in two days.

After removing the bandages, Gu Feiyan exhaled a breath of foul air and started to concentrate, using her thoughts. She concocted a prescription with her thoughts and sent it over to the little Cauldron. In the blink of an eye, the little cauldron had managed to grab the medicine in its space and turn it into a paste with the help of her Divine Flame. With another thought, the ointment fell to her side.

"Really good!"

Gu Feiyan was so used to it that she forgot her hand injury and went to pat the little cauldron. The pain made her suck in several breaths of cold air, but she couldn't calm down.

At this moment, a displeased voice suddenly sounded from behind him, "Idiot!"

Gu Feiyan froze for a moment, she suddenly turned around to look, only to see a man standing behind her, wearing a silver mask, black clothes, standing tall and proud, cold and quiet, like a God of the Night.

Gu Feiyan blurted out in shock, "Stinky ice-cube!"

Jun Jiuchen frowned slightly. He clearly didn't like this nickname, so he said in a displeased tone, "Who allowed you to shout randomly?"

Gu Feiyan really did not expect this guy who had cheated her so much but he still had the face to come see her. She angrily scolded, "Stinking liar! You still dare to come? What do you mean you want to take me in?

He looked at her bruised hands and feet, and then his gaze fell on the pile of ointment on the side, as he coldly said, "The medicine was created out of thin air, your medicine cauldron is indeed not a common thing."

"How long have you been here? You were peeping at me, you …"

Gu Feiyan stood up excitedly, and in a moment, her toes hurt badly. Instinctively, she bent her toes and leaned back uncontrollably. “Ah..”

At that moment, Jun Jiuchen didn't even bother to think as he strode forward and leaned away. He held her by the waist and used his hand to cover her mouth.

The two of them stared at each other, seemingly at a loss for words.

Jun Jiuchen was the first to recover from his shock as he said in a displeased tone, "Idiot!"

Gu Feiyan shook her head and got rid of his hand, cursing, "You scoundrel, let go of me!"

Jun Jiuchen glanced at the warm bed behind her, then elegantly withdrew his hand. Gu Feiyan fell backwards onto the warm bed and… it didn't hurt at all. Only then did she realize that as long as she fell backwards, it wouldn't hurt no matter how hard she fell.

Recalling how loud she had shouted just now, even Gu Feiyan couldn't help but feel embarrassed. She became obedient and did not dare to act rashly. Her fingers stiffened as she carefully turned her body to the side and rested her elbow on the sloping plank. It took her a while before she could sit up.

Jun Jiuchen had been sitting beside her since long ago.

He took out the ointment and examined it carefully, only to see that it was contained in a large, unknown leaf. It was green, crystal clear, and had a slightly refreshing fragrance.

He asked, "You want to change the medicine? What are the beneficial effects of this medicine? "

Gu Feiyan originally did not have a good impression of him, so she was wary of him. Furthermore, after knowing that his shrewdness was deeper than that of an old fox, she became even more wary of him.

She said unhappily. "Don't touch my stuff! What are you doing here? Just say it! "

Jun Jiuchen didn't answer her. Instead, he lowered his head and used two of his fingers to dab some ointment on his face. "Hands."

Hand?

Gu Feiyan didn't understand?

Jun Jiuchen stretched out his other hand, and said in a cold and commanding tone, "Dressing the medicine, give me your hand."
