Chapter 285 Ye Hanyi Inquires about Gossip
It took him a while to drop the knife.
When he actually cut, his movements were quick and decisive. Even though Ye Hanyi groaned in pain, he did not stop.
He cleaned her up, quickly applied medicine, bandaged her, and tidied her clothes.
After doing all this, Ge Xubai let out a long breath, and his palms were sweating.
That night, Ye Hanyi developed a high fever and his body felt hot and cold.
The temperature on the mountain was low at night. She was shivering with cold and kept shaking. Ge Xubai took off his clothes and wrapped them around her, but it was of no use. She subconsciously moved closer to the source of warmth and huddled close to Ge Xubai.
His whole body was stiff and he dared not move.
She endured the whole night like this until dawn, when Ye Hanyi's body temperature slowly returned to normal. She nestled in Ge Xubai's furnace-like arms and slept soundly.
Fortunately, after taking the antidote, her condition stabilized, and Ge Xubai finally relaxed and took a nap.
When Ye Hanyi woke up, he felt a pain in his shoulder and his head was dizzy, as if it weighed a thousand pounds.
I opened my eyelids with difficulty and saw a face with a hairy beard.
"father……"
Where am I? Am I home? Why is Daddy here too?
Daddy used to have a white beard, why is it so dark now? Has he regained his youth?
Thinking of this, she reached out and pulled it.
Ge Xubai opened his eyes and met Ye Hanyi's gaze. The other person was holding a few strands of his beard in his hand.
The air was still at this moment.
Ye Hanyi's eyes were wide open, his face was dull, and he was completely unable to recover.
Ge Xubai didn't know how to react. What he cared about was not those insignificant whiskers, but the posture of the two of them.
She was still lying in his arms.
"you……"
As soon as he said a word, Ye Hanyi sat up reflexively.
This time the force was so strong that she felt dizzy and her shoulder was in great pain. Ge Xubai quickly supported her.
"Be careful, you have a shoulder injury."
Ye Hanyi's memory gradually recovered, and he understood their current situation.
When she thought about how she had just called him dad and pulled someone's beard, she wished she could just bang her head against a wall and die.
So embarrassing!
Her face flushed.
Fortunately, she has a dark complexion, so it's not very obvious.
She smiled awkwardly, "I was confused in my sleep, it wasn't intentional."
She stopped, Ge Xubai withdrew his hand, took two steps back, and breathed a sigh of relief with a barely perceptible touch.
"No problem. Are you feeling better?"
Ye Hanyi nodded and wanted to say that he felt better, but his head started to feel dizzy again and stars began to appear in front of his eyes.
Ge Xubai frowned, "It seems that he needs to rest well."
Ye Hanyi rubbed his dizzy head and asked, "What kind of poison did I get?"
"It should be the Tendon-Eroding Soft Jade Powder. After being poisoned, the whole body will feel sore and weak. If the poison is not detoxified in time, the poison will enter the body and it will be fatal."
Fortunately, this poison mainly makes people feel sore and weak all over, and its toxicity itself is not very strong.
But at that time, the two sides were fighting each other, and if they were poisoned, it would be like becoming a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.
"That's so insidious."
Ge Xubai looked at Ye Hanyi and said sincerely, "Thank you for blocking this arrow for me."
It was originally aimed at him. If Ye Hanyi hadn't blocked it, he would have been hit by the arrow.
Ye Hanyi was not polite at all, "Remember to repay the favor of saving my life."
Ge Xubai nodded seriously, "Of course."
Ye Hanyi asked about the subsequent battle situation. Ge Xubai said, "The Qiangdi people suffered heavy losses this time. They have already evacuated from Broken Cloud Mountain. We will leave after you have recovered. Prince Jin should have also successfully escaped, so you can rest assured."
Ye Hanyi breathed a sigh of relief.
If my cousin is safe and sound, I can explain to my aunt when I go back.
Ye Hanyi asked again, "Do you know the Ye family's swordsmanship?"
When the two of them had fought before and she used the Ye family sword technique, Ge Xubai recognized her at a glance.
Later, she saw that the moves Ge Xubai used to kill the enemy also had some shadows of the Ye family's swordsmanship.
Ge Xubai did not hide it, "My master is General Zhenxi, he has some connection with the Ye family."
Ye Hanyi immediately pricked up his ears, looking curious.
Ge Xubai said succinctly, "Master's father and generation once served the Ye family, and he also grew up in the Ye family since he was young."
Ye Hanyi's eyes widened. "It's really like this! I've never heard of it before."
"You are a junior, and your master left southern Yunnan long ago, so it's normal that you haven't heard of it."
Ye Hanyi's eyes turned quickly.
Grew up in the Ye family? So, this General Zhenxi grew up with my aunt?
She thought of the Yama Smile that her cousin had written to her aunt to ask for, and it was for the General Zhenxi that she asked for it.
Why didn’t my aunt say that they were old friends at that time?
She was extremely curious, like a hundred claws on her heart.
"I heard that General Zhenxi was poisoned not long ago. What happened?"
A frost suddenly covered Ge Xubai's eyes.
"Master was framed by a villain. Fortunately, Concubine Rou gave him medicine, which saved him from danger. I would like to thank Concubine Rou for her generosity on behalf of Master."
Ye Hanyi smiled and said, "My aunt has always been very understanding of justice."
She changed the subject and brought the conversation back to Gu Qishan. "What did General Zhenxi's ancestors do under our Ye family? Was they military doctors? Don't get me wrong, I don't mean any harm. I'm just curious. Perhaps I've heard of General Zhenxi's ancestors' deeds before, but I haven't matched them up, so I wanted to ask a few more questions."
What she said was reasonable, and Ge Xubai also had a natural liking for the Ye family, so he didn't think much about it.
"Master's ancestor was once the military advisor of the Ye family."
Ye Hanyi seemed to be lost in thought. "I've heard my grandfather mention that the Ye family has a military advisor who is proficient in both civil and military tactics. He is also well versed in medicine and has many precious prescriptions. Could it be him?"
Ge Xubai's face showed reverence. "That's right. Master's grandfather was very proficient in both military tactics and medical principles. He also left behind a prescription for treating internal injuries. I once suffered a serious internal injury. Fortunately, Master took out the prescription and helped me recuperate. I was able to recover."
Ye Hanyi's eyes brightened up a little.
She felt as if she had discovered some great secret.
Previously, Baozhu was seriously injured by a tiger and suffered severe internal injuries. Her aunt took out a prescription and Baozhu soon woke up.
My aunt said that the recipe was given to her by an old friend.
Now it seems that the old friend is most likely the General Zhenxi.
That Yama Smile might have been a gift from the General Zhenxi.
That's why my aunt was so happy when she took it out, without feeling sorry at all.
If her aunt and the General Zhenxi were just ordinary old friends, she could have just said it directly.
But she didn't mention a word about it, which made people suspicious.
Ye Hanyi also heard that the General Zhenxi never married and had no children in his life.
He became famous at a young age, and what kind of daughter of a wealthy family could he not marry? But he chose to remain single, and the reason behind this is really thought-provoking.
Is she overthinking it?
When she returns to the capital, she will definitely find an opportunity to hint at it to her aunt.
This matter cannot be made public, but she is really curious and just wants to find out quietly to satisfy her curiosity.
