"Yun... Ghost Doctor!"

Yun Qiyue was sitting in the hall, looking at the increase in points in the system, thinking that Ye Lanjue had told her to wait and should be coming to find her soon, so she couldn't help but curl her lips again and again.

Fortunately, with a veil covering her face, others couldn't see.

And just at this moment, someone called her, and the voice was very familiar.

Yun Qiyue regained her senses at the sound and looked toward the source of the voice.

Then, she saw Qing Jie's face, which carried displeasure and reproach.

Looking at Qing Jie's appearance, as if she owed him eight million, Yun Qiyue felt a wave of displeasure.

She didn't know what was wrong with this Qing Jie; every time he saw her, he had this attitude, and it ruined her good mood.

"Has the Ghost Doctor forgotten the matter of treating our master?" Qing Jie was indignant.

Yun Qiyue was stunned upon hearing this, subconsciously asking: "Has your master's poison flared up?"

Qing Jie didn't speak, just glared at Yun Qiyue.

Seeing this, Yun Qiyue frowned.

Logically speaking, Ouyang Xi's poison had been half-cured, so even if it flared up, the time shouldn't be so dense.

Moreover, he could endure it before, so he should be able to endure it now.

Or was it...

"Does your master have Dengjing Grass?" It wasn't a poison flare-up, so it must be that he had the medicinal herbs for the antidote.

Although she knew Ouyang Xi had asked for Dengjing Grass seeds at the palace banquet, logically speaking, it shouldn't be that easy to cultivate.

Qing Jie didn't answer, only saying: "You'll know when you go."

Yun Qiyue thought of Ye Lanjue's note and wanted to refuse without thinking, "Another day, I don't have time today."

Qing Jie wouldn't have it, "You say another day, so it's another day? Our master wants to see you today, so you must go today."

Saying this, Qing Jie glared at Yun Qiyue, "You were the one who provoked our master first."

Yun Qiyue: "..." What is meant by she provoked him first?

Why did it sound like she was a scumbag woman?

Qing Jie: "Are you going or not?" Qing Jie was almost stomping his feet.

Looking at Qing Jie's anxious appearance, Yun Qiyue even doubted if Ouyang Xi had really had an accident.

At least he was a National Preceptor of a country, and Qing Jie wasn't entirely wrong; it was indeed her who went to provoke him, for the sake of a little money.

Yun Qiyue held her forehead; why did she have the illusion that she had sold herself for money?

However, thinking that Ye Lanjue would come to find her later, Yun Qiyue left a note for Chen Kui.

Yun Qiyue followed Qing Jie and left, not seeing the complex emotions in Chen Kui's eyes.

And when Yun Qiyue and Qing Jie left, coincidentally, Ye Lanjue was changing into the clothes Chen Feng had brought.

After confirming there was no problem with the clothes, Ye Lanjue ordered Chen Feng, "Go, tell Yun Qiyue that I have arrived."

Chen Feng complained inwardly: Wasn't the master always there?

Chen Feng left and went to the medical hall.

But soon, Chen Feng returned, his face not looking very good.

Ye Lanjue looked behind Chen Feng; no one.

"Where is she?" Ye Lanjue frowned, his expression displeased.

Chen Feng: "... Miss Yun... The Princess Consort... she... left."

Under Ye Lanjue's murderous gaze, Chen Feng finished his sentence, then quickly presented the note in his hand, "This is what the Princess Consort left for the master."

Ye Lanjue took the note, and on it were only a few words: Imperial Uncle, I have something to do, I will come to find you tomorrow.

Just this?

Ye Lanjue's face became even uglier, "What did Chen Kui say?"

Chen Kui, naturally, was Ye Lanjue's man.

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng subconsciously took a step back, but when he met his master's cold gaze, Chen Feng swallowed hard, not daring to continue backing away, "Ma, Master... The Pri... Princess Consort... she... she went to Ouyang Xi's place..."

Chen Feng was scared to death, his tongue was tangling.

Just kidding, the master's pressure, the master's cold air, the master's anger—who could withstand it?

Anyway, he wanted to disappear on the spot every minute.

Because of fear, Chen Feng didn't even dare to look at Ye Lanjue.

However, soon, Chen Feng felt something strange.

The aura had changed.

The master was still there.

The master was motionless.

His heart skipped a beat, and when he looked up, he met a pair of blood-red eyes.

This is bad—

At this time, Yun Qiyue followed Qing Jie to Ouyang Xi's residence.

Ouyang Xi was still sitting under that pear tree; for some reason, these pear blossoms hadn't withered even now.

The difference was that today, Ouyang Xi was wearing a green outfit.

Not emerald green, but that kind of tender green, like the color of grass in early spring.

This color wasn't something an ordinary person could hold, especially a man; without a certain level of looks, wearing this color would either be flashy or a disaster scene.

However, these two possibilities clearly didn't exist for Ouyang Xi.

At this time, Ouyang Xi seemed to have less of the mysterious or gloomy feeling seen before, making people's eyes light up.

Ouyang Xi wore this green, matched with his fair skin, under the pear blossoms, with the breeze blowing and occasional pear blossom petals falling, it actually became a beautiful painting, making people unable to look away for a while.

"Why? Do you regret refusing me on the day of the Hundred Flowers Banquet?" Ouyang Xi curled his lips, smiled lightly, and asked Yun Qiyue.

Yun Qiyue regained her senses, her face without a hint of embarrassment, but walked toward Ouyang Xi very calmly, and sat on the stool opposite Ouyang Xi calmly.

Her hand rested on Ouyang Xi's hand, and she withdrew it in an instant.

"You're fine." Very certain.

Ouyang Xi's poison hadn't flared up, and his situation was very stable.

So, why call her here?

Yun Qiyue thought of the fact that she had pushed away the Imperial Uncle's invitation to come here, and felt a bit displeased.

This was the first time the Imperial Uncle had sent her a note, and moreover, she was really curious about what the Imperial Uncle had to find her for.

Yet, she was interrupted by Ouyang Xi.

Displeased!

Ouyang Xi smiled, not embarrassed by being exposed, "Nothing wrong, but also something."

Meaning, his body was fine, but he had something to find her for.

Yun Qiyue wasn't a pretentious person; since she was here, she was here.

Since she missed it, she missed it.

Therefore, there was nothing to regret, and she just asked with an attitude of "since you're here, be at peace," "What is it?"

Ouyang Xi looked at Qing Jie behind Yun Qiyue.

Yun Qiyue discovered that Qing Jie had two sides.

One way in front of her, another way in front of Ouyang Xi.

Cunning.

Qing Jie took a box out of his sleeve, then placed it in front of Yun Qiyue, said nothing, and left.

Yun Qiyue looked at the box and opened it without thinking much.

However, looking at the things inside, Yun Qiyue was slightly surprised.

"Why show me this?"

In the palace, after failing to ask for marriage, Ouyang Xi changed to asking for Dengjing Grass seeds.

And what was in the box were exactly two Dengjing Grass seeds.

As for the marriage request, Yun Qiyue hadn't forgotten, but she didn't take it to heart either.

In her view, Ouyang Xi asking for her hand in public was just wanting to use her to get the seeds; there wasn't a ripple in her heart.

Ouyang Xi didn't answer Yun Qiyue directly, but signaled her to look behind.

Yun Qiyue looked behind, but was even more confused.
