2151In the afternoon, Su Qingxue"s face finally blushed a little.
The chill on the woman"s body gradually receded. To Su Qingxue, she had actually returned from the gates of h.e.l.l.
She had no idea if she would be able to recover her body temperature the next time she had a cold attack.
However, she had already gotten used to it. In the past, she had seen very little of life and death.
Until now, because of the appearance of the man beside her, she was glad that she hadn"t died …
"Phew …" "Huff …" The woman"s breathing carried a hint of sweetness.
Ye Fan stretched out his hand to caress his wife"s warm and fair cheeks, "Are you better now?"
"Hmm …" Su Qingxue rubbed the man"s hands with her face as if she wanted him to touch her more.
Ye Fan smiled, held the woman"s face and kissed her.
"Xiao Xue, I"ll definitely treat you as soon as possible …"
Ye Fan swore in his heart that he couldn"t drag it out any longer. Later on, he would ask Su He if the batch of herbs he had bought had arrived.
Before he could do so, he would head straight to the Wilderness and even the Desolate G.o.d Hall. He had to research it or find the cure as soon as possible!
Seeing Su Qingxue suffering so much, it was even worse than being beaten up by all kinds of people in battle!
Although Su Qingxue did not hold much hope, she still replied with an "En", "I believe in my husband …"
The two of them slept for a while longer with each other, when Uncle Shui"s voice came from outside.
"Young duke …" The young duke? "
Ye Fan asked, "What"s the matter, Uncle Shui?"
"This old servant shouldn"t have disturbed you. However, Miss Kong Chan outside has already knelt in the rain for four to four hours. This … "What"s so good about that?"
Ye Fan frowned, that girl actually still blamed him?
If the Bi Fang Clan people saw this, they would really tangle with him.
Ye Fan was helpless and could only get out of bed. Luckily, Su Qingxue"s body was almost warm again.
"Husband, I heard that something happened to the Bi Fang Clan"s Mu Sheng Manor and Imperial Uncle"s residence?" Su Qingxue asked.
"You know about it too?" While Ye Fan was putting on his pants, he turned around and wondered, "Who told you that?"
"Such a big matter spread throughout the Imperial City very early in the morning. Before my illness began, I heard people talking about it."
Su Qingxue thoughtfully looked at the man, "Husband, could it be that these two things have something to do with you?"
Ye Fan turned his head and smiled evilly, "If I were to say that these two families were wiped out by me, would the princess believe me?"
Su Qingxue slept there and blinked her eyes. Then, she smiled and said, "It"s fine if you say it, but I just want you to be safe."
Ye Fan bent over and kissed the woman"s forehead, "Good girl, don"t worry, no matter what happens outside, I will take care of it."
After putting on his clothes, Ye Fan arrived at the main gate of Hou Mansion.
As expected, he saw a Bikong Cicada that was already drenched in sweat, kneeling there with a face as if it had died.
The pa.s.sersby all saw it and pointed at it.
Seeing that Ye Fan had come out, the Bi Kong cicada did not say anything, as if it wanted to die in the House of the Northern Marquis.
Ye Fan smiled, "Stand up, come with me to a place."
Saying this, Ye Fan walked onto the street without waiting for the Bi Kong Cicada to ask a question.
Although the Bi Kong Cicada was puzzled, it still stood up and silently followed along with a pitiful appearance.
Ye Fan turned a corner and entered a deserted alley.
He turned around and expressionlessly looked at the Bi Kong Cicada.
The Bi Kong Cicada looked around, and took two steps back somewhat uneasily, "Ye … Prince Consort Ye... Are you trying to silence me by killing me? "
Ye Fan sighed, "I"ll ask you one last time, do you want to leave or not?"
Although the Bi Kong cicada was afraid, it would still die no matter what. She gritted her teeth and said: "No! If you won"t accept me as your maid, then I"ll always be kneeling outside the manor!
I don"t have any dignity now, and I can"t stay in the academy any longer. Returning to the clan is also a dead end, so there"s nothing left for me to lose! "
Ye Fan smiled, "I know, then it"s settled..."
"What... What"s decided? "
Just as the Bi Kong cicada finished its question, it suddenly discovered that Ye Fan"s figure had suddenly flashed, so fast that she couldn"t even react!
In the next moment, Ye Fan directly arrived behind the Bi Kong Cicada and knocked out the girl!
After finishing, Ye Fan threw the Bi Kong Cicada into his storage ring.
"It just so happens that Endless Night is bored. You two can be partners."
Ye Fan muttered to himself as he slowly walked out of the alley, as if nothing had happened.
He really did not have the time to tangle with the Bi Kong Cicada, and also did not want the Bi Fang Clan to suspect that he was hiding someone in the mansion. Thus, he might as well lock her in his spatial ring and consider what to do in the future.
After returning to the manor, Ye Fan gave Third Prince Su He a call, asking him when the herbs would arrive.
Su He said over the phone that he had confirmed that he had already collected two carts of medicinal ingredients, and they should already be on their way back.
Ye Fan asked him to confirm the time, and Su He also agreed.
That evening, the Bi Fang Clan indeed sent a few people to take a look around the manor. They seemed to have discovered that there was no trace of the Bi Kong Cicada, and thus did not cause any unnecessary trouble.
The mysterious killer that had suddenly appeared had taken care of the Mu Sheng manor, and the Bi Fang Clan was also very careful.
Su Qingxue was not feeling well, and Ye Fan was worried about going out. He stayed at home to read and accompany his wife.
Finally, the day of the "Emperor of the Underworld" heading towards the Royal Tomb arrived.
Ye Fan, as the representative of the Northern Marquis Manor, headed out of the palace gate with Chu Yunyao, Tu Yue, and the others. He watched as "Emperor of the Underworld" got on his carriage and left with a few followers.
Halfway there, the "Emperor would poke his head out and wave to some of the Imperial City"s citizens who were standing respectfully by the side of the road.
Of course, the entire team of carriages and horses had been arranged by Tu Yue.
Ye Fan couldn"t help but sigh. Chu Yunyao"s bionic robot was truly vivid. If he wasn"t sure that he had killed the Emperor of the Underworld, he might have even thought that he had met a subst.i.tute.
The show had finally ended and Ye Fan and Chu Yunyao had arrived at the laboratory.
"Little Yao Yao, pack up and put everything into your storage ring. Afterwards, I"ll take you to the Blessed Paradise to meet up with Jiao and Xin"er."
"There should be enough resources on the side of the Golden Sky to allow you to quickly build and expand your laboratory," said Ye Fan.
Chu Yunyao naturally knew, staying in the Imperial City was not safe enough, moreover, she couldn"t wait to see her sisters who had been separated for fifty years, so she quickly packed up.
As for her sudden excursion to the capital as an Imperial Advisor, it didn"t really matter to her. Usually, no one would pay attention to her as she was not summoned by the Emperor.
Yunji Group"s business in the Great March, she can also completely control the remote control.
Right at this time, Ye Fan received a call from the Third Prince, Su He.
"Third Prince, what"s wrong? Is there any news about the herbs? " Ye Fan hurriedly asked.
Su He then said gloomily, "Prince Consort Ye, how come you disappeared just as soon as you sent Father off? I"ve been looking for you for a while, and I wanted to tell you face to face … "
"What is it?"
"Truly … I"m really sorry, herbs... "I"m afraid I"ll have to delay it for another two months …" Su He said hesitantly.
"What!?" Ye Fan frowned, "Didn"t you say that it has already been shipped back?!" It would take two months to travel from the northern border to the Imperial City!? Didn"t you all claim that cultivators and demonic beasts are escorting us, and are very fast?! "
Su He sighed bitterly, "Yesterday, I sent someone to contact the merchant caravan and found that we were unable to do so …
Early this morning, spies from the trading firm reported that the trading company had been robbed by a group of mysterious bandits in the Wilderness!
Everyone was dead and the herbs were burnt. The losses were extremely heavy!
However, Prince Consort Ye, don"t worry. I lost a few million myself. This time, I"ll help you collect more medicinal herbs!
After all, there was a problem during the transportation process for our company, so I will not take your money for nothing! "
Ye Fan"s heart sank, and his gaze turned cold. "You"re saying...?" The herbs were burnt? It wasn"t stolen? "
"That"s right... I also think it"s strange. Actually, we, the Flying Crane Trading Company, have also been doing business in the Wilderness for a long time.
We also have business with the barbarians, so no robbers would come to rob us.
In the past few years, no more than three problems had occurred. There were very few mistakes!
For some reason, the other caravans were fine, just in time for something to happen to the caravan that was transporting the herbs!
These robbers didn"t rob the precious herbs, they only took some gold and silver property and burned the herbs instead. What the h.e.l.l!
I suspect that it"s because the war has resumed in the north in the recent days, so some madmen with a vengeful mindset are intentionally causing trouble … " Su He said dejectedly.
Ye Fan"s eyes turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Is that so?" Is there another possibility.
Someone intentionally did not allow me to get the medicinal herbs, not allowing me to treat Qingxue? "
