Although Ji Yunyi disliked the plain appearance of the Seven-leaf Star-seeking Fruit, as long as it could cure the illness, it didn't really matter.
"Yunxi, eat it directly."
Ji Yunyi couldn't wait to see the result and urged Ji Yunxi.
Ji Yunxi wasn't being coy either. What kind of ceremony was there for taking medicine?
She ate the precious fruit on the spot.
"How, how is it? What does it taste like?" Ji Yunyi was so nervous that his speech stammered a bit.
Ji Yunxi felt for a moment and even searched with her spiritual power: "It has no taste, and I don't seem to feel anything either."
Feng Xingzhi's hands hidden in his sleeves tightened slightly. He was also very nervous.
The three of them walked towards the city. The horses' rhythmic steps made Ji Yunxi drowsy. Sitting on the horse, her head kept nodding.
Feng Xingzhi had been following behind her. He moved forward to ride side by side with her: "Xixi, be careful. Are you tired?"
Ji Yunxi's eyes were blurred: "Azhi, I'm a bit sleepy."
Feng Xingzhi thought that the antidote must have taken effect. He stretched out his hand: "It's too dangerous for you to ride the horse alone. Come here and lean on me first."
Ji Yunxi completely forgot about her second elder brother. She reached out her hand and was gently but firmly pulled over by Feng Xingzhi.
Ji Yunyi happily rode his horse ahead, completely unaware that his younger sister had already sat on someone else's horse.
"Feng Qi, go and drive the carriage."
"Yes."
Ji Yunyi heard Feng Xingzhi instructing Feng Qi. He was just about to say it wasn't necessary, but when he turned his head, he saw Ji Yunxi nestled in Feng Xingzhi's arms.
"Yun..."
Feng Xingzhi immediately looked at Ji Yunyi, his eyes full of a silent stop.
Ji Yunyi didn't know why he instantly understood Feng Xingzhi's look. He could only angrily turn his head back.
Forget it. Anyway, he was his future brother-in-law.
When they were almost at the city gate, Ji Yunyi still called out to Feng Xingzhi.
"Don't go any further. There will be many people and prying eyes inside. It's not good for you or Yunxi."
Feng Xingzhi knew Ji Yunyi was right, so he reined in his horse and waited on the side. Ji Yunxi had already fallen asleep.
Feng Qi drove the carriage and took the three of them back to the Ji Mansion.
Ji Yuchen hadn't been able to go to the Dream Elegance Pavilion. He paced back and forth at home, feeling extremely annoyed.
Finally, when he heard the servant's report, Ji Yuchen rushed out without caring about anything else. Who would have thought that he would see Feng Xingzhi covering his younger sister with a cloak and directly carrying her off the carriage.
Ji Yuchen's face darkened. What was this all about?!
Even though the Emperor had already issued the imperial edict, now that Ji Qilin had passed away, they could use the mourning period as an excuse not to rush to marry Yunxi to Feng Xingzhi. But now that this guy was carrying her in like this, it would surely spread throughout the entire capital, and Yunxi would be tied to this sickly prince!
Thinking of this, Ji Yuchen immediately stepped forward to stop Feng Xingzhi.
Ji Yunyi quickly grabbed him: "Hey, big brother, forget it..."
Ji Yuchen pointed at Feng Xingzhi's back as he carried her in. Thinking of Ji Yunyi who had gone with them, he directly gave his younger brother a flick on the forehead.
"You went there. Why didn't you carry her? It's his turn to carry her!"
Ji Yunyi flattered him while saying: "Little sister is asleep. If we changed hands, wouldn't we wake her up? She just took the medicine. Let's not disturb her and let her rest."
Only then did Ji Yuchen's dark face ease a bit: "Did you get it?"
Ji Yunyi saw what his elder brother meant. He had already recognized Feng Xingzhi as his future brother-in-law to some extent, so he said: "Naturally, but it's all thanks to the prince."
Ji Yuchen naturally didn't believe it. He had an expression as if saying, "You must have been bribed."
"It's true. Yunxi didn't spend a single copper coin. The prince was previously acquainted with the owner of the Dream Elegance Pavilion, so he was able to obtain the treasure."
Ji Yuchen was still a bit unconvinced: "Even if we had to pay, we could afford it."
"That's not necessarily true, big brother. Do you know that there were also several imperial merchants, many high-ranking officials and nobles there today, and even..."
Ji Yunyi didn't continue. But Ji Yuchen could already make an estimate: "Then, we should thank him."
"Actually, since I've been getting along with the prince, except for his relatively low spiritual power cultivation, there's really nothing wrong with him. And he's wholeheartedly devoted to Yunxi. I think he's okay..." Ji Yunyi tentatively said when he saw his elder brother softening his attitude.
Ji Yuchen pondered for a while but didn't respond to Ji Yunyi.
As soon as Ji Yunxi was sent back to her own courtyard, Ji Yuchen brought the doctor in.
Feng Xingzhi stepped aside politely, looking like a gentleman who wouldn't peek.
The doctor carefully felt Ji Yunxi's pulse. He had known before that Ji Yunxi was poisoned. His eyebrows, which had been tightly knitted, now relaxed completely.
"Congratulations, Prime Minister! The strange poison on the eldest young lady has disappeared!"
Hearing this, joy spread across Ji Yuchen's face. Feng Xingzhi also secretly let out a long sigh of relief.
"Big brother, since that's the case, I'll go back first." Feng Xingzhi could tell that Ji Yuchen was dissatisfied with him for carrying Xixi back before. Since Xixi was fine now, he'd better leave quickly.
Ji Yuchen personally saw him off, as a way to thank him for what he had done.
As night fell deeper.
Qing Xuan emerged from Ji Yunxi's spiritual sea. He rubbed his head and floated straight towards the Eastern Wind Prince's Mansion in the east of the city.
There was only one reason. Ji Yunxi had a headache again.
And this time, it affected her spiritual sea. Qing Xuan felt dizzy inside. As soon as he rushed out, he saw Ji Yunxi covered in sweat.
Qing Xuan burst into Feng Xingzhi's room: "Hurry up and come with me."
Feng Xingzhi had just been about to go to bed. He quickly put on his clothes and climbed over the wall of the Ji Mansion again. This time, it was a bit smoother than last time.
He found Ji Yunxi's room easily and pushed the door in.
Ji Yunxi was leaning against the bedside. Her dying appearance stabbed at Feng Xingzhi's eyes.
"Xixi! How could this happen? Didn't the poison already be cured?!" Feng Xingzhi's eyes were red with anxiety. He quickly stepped forward, picked up Ji Yunxi, and began to transfer his spiritual power to her.
Qing Xuan muttered on the side: "See, see. I told you she wasn't poisoned. I said so last time, but none of you believed me!"
Feng Xingzhi didn't have time to argue with him at this moment. He concentrated on transferring his spiritual power into Ji Yunxi's body.
However, usually, it only took half of his spiritual power, but this time, he was almost exhausted.
Ji Yunxi gradually calmed down, while Feng Xingzhi was already pale and gasping for breath.
"Are you okay?"
Seeing Feng Xingzhi's abnormality, Qing Xuan floated forward and whispered.
Feng Xingzhi smiled. Ji Yunxi's contracted spiritual beast was just like her, gentle and cute.
"I'm okay. I just ran out of spiritual power and need to rest."
Only then did Qing Xuan float back towards Ji Yunxi's spiritual sea: "Then you can leave when you're okay. I'm going back."
"You stay in Yunxi's consciousness space?"
"Yeah, but this time, when the master was in pain, the spiritual sea was shaken. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know what to do..."
Feng Xingzhi didn't hear the rest of Qing Xuan's words. He only remembered that the spiritual sea was shaken.
It seemed that Xixi's headache was getting worse!
