Chapter 36: Letting you have a good look Original and most updated translations are from volare.

After taking care of everything, Han Yunxi rushed back to the Duke of Qin's house in the nick of time. Within his rooms, Long Feiye had already changed his clothes and was reclining in a rocking chair in the study. His robes were embroidered with golden threads, enhancing his inherent aristocratic aura with vivid intensity. This was the first time Han Yunxi had seen any man wear gold so well. It was easy to feel inferior in his presence.

She adjusted her breathing before stepping forward. "Your Highness."

"The three ingredients you asked for are on the table. You can start making the antidote now," Long Feiye said simply, not even sparing her a glance.

Han Yunxi looked to the side and saw three giant piles of medicinal ingredients, divided up into summer zi, autumn zi, and winter zi. Goodness, these ingredients aren't easy to find. I didn't expect this guy to bring back piles of them.

Han Yunxi was secretly delighted. In fact, she only needed to use a bit, but the rest could be put in reserve in the detox system storage space. Depending on the poison, these ingredients could be used in various prescriptions for treatment.

"Your Highness, please wait until chenqie creates the mixture," Han Yunxi said, preparing to store all the medicine in her pouch. Yet Long Feiye's cold eyes turned to look at her instead.

"Just make the antidote here, your lordship wants to have a good look, too."

Tch...

This guy was still suspicious of her!

Han Yunxi secretly rolled her eyes. Be suspicious all you want. In any case, you'll never guess the truth.

"Your Highness, chenqie doesn't have any other ingredients on hand. I need to go to the Leisurely Cloud Pavilion to get them. If you're interested, you might as well walk with me there," Han Yunxi said with a smile.

"Leisurely Cloud Pavilion?" Long Feiye grew curious. He didn't recall the Hibiscus Courtyard having a place like this.

"Chenqie fixed up the discarded building in the northwest corner of the courtyard and named it the Leisurely Cloud Pavilion. In the future, chenqie will be living there so as to not disturb Your Highness," Han Yunxi replied truthfully.

Actually, she was feeling a bit nervous, fearful that this guy would chase her out of the Hibiscus Courtyard to face Grand Concubine Yi and Murong Wanru. Unexpectedly, he didn't seem to have any complaints, but rose to his feet to follow her. She relaxed in response, nimbly storing the three piles of medicinal ingredients into her pouch. Long Feiye didn't pay much attention to her movements, but he couldn't have known that it was just a move to mislead him. She'd long stored the ingredients into her detox system dimension instead and had it mix with precise proportions of other medicines to make the antidote. There was even an automatic sensor to adjust cooking temperature for the medicine while it boiled.

In the time it took for Long Feiye to walk from his sleeping quarters to Han Yunxi's Leisurely Cloud Pavilion, the detox system had already prepared the antidote decoction. Han Yunxi snuck it out and hid it inside her medical pouch. At the door to her rooms, Long Feiye paused to ask, "What is the meaning of this 'Leisurely Cloud'?"

"A cloud naturally has no desires, just as the water is naturally leisurely," Han Yunxi said simply, turning to look at him. "Your Highness, after marrying into the Duke of Qin's house, chenqie's only wish is to be a leisurely cloud in a corner."

Actually, what she really wanted to tell Long Feiye was, 'Dear, stop suspecting me. I was forced to marry into the Duke of Qin's household, but there's nothing that I'm looking for. I just want to live a calm and peaceful life by myself. I won't bother you, so don't you guys bother me, either!'
