As Si Jin spoke, Ji Linyuan looked up and stared at him blankly.
At this moment, the arrogant young master of the Gu King had already removed his silver ornaments, leaving only a strand of red silk binding his hair. His clothes fluttered slightly in the wind, and the loss of his saintly aura made him appear even more alluring than the spider lily.
Ji Linyuan lowered his head subconsciously, and the tips of his ears involuntarily turned a little red: "How dare I disturb the young master."
"It's alright. We're both men. Don't you feel awkward talking about this? Since you've been injured for me, let's go together."
Si Jin spoke frankly and deliberately lowered her guard, which made Ji Linyuan even more uncomfortable.
Yeah, they're both men, what was he thinking just now?
"yes."
The little wolf cub agreed and followed Si Jin, but its attention drifted from the spider lily pattern on his belt all the way to the back of his neck—
The man's slender swan neck was made even whiter and brighter by the spider lily tattoo. Viewed from a distance, it was like looking at flowers through the mist, beautiful yet unreal, and vividly charming.
His thoughts drifted away, so much so that when the person in front of him suddenly stopped, Ji Linyuan didn't notice and bumped straight into him.
The cool fragrance wafted into his nostrils, and Ji Linyuan's lips pressed directly onto the flower. His heart raced for a moment, and he hurriedly stepped back to stand still.
As the guards from the other courtyard approached Si Jin, they said, "Young Master, the nine assassins are reduced to bones, but one of them is the Queen's nephew. What... should we do?"
"What should we do?" Si Jin laughed: "Treat me the same as an assassin. The current queen is not my biological mother, so I naturally don't know anyone... the queen's nephew."
"yes."
After the man left to carry out his orders, Ji Linyuan finally brought his thoughts back to the present, raised his eyes, and wanted to see how a person could be reduced to nothing but bones.
Upon closer inspection, two guards threw an intact corpse into the Gu chamber. Not long after, the poisonous insects disappeared, the door opened again, and inside was a skeleton.
“Civilize the ashes,” Si Jin replied unhurriedly. “In a few days, it will be the Queen’s birthday. Mix the ashes with fireworks and let her nephew set them off in the sky to celebrate her birthday.”
"yes."
After giving these instructions, Si Jin continued walking, seemingly unconcerned about the accidental kiss that had just occurred.
This put Ji Linyuan at ease. He had acted too impulsively just now, and he should keep his distance more in the future.
… …
The hot spring pool was filled with wisps of white steam.
The little wolf cub, who had just sworn to "keep his distance," found his gaze unconsciously falling on Si Jin again.
He was so beautiful, his beauty transcended gender, more captivating than the most beautiful woman on the grassland.
No, I can't think like that. They're all men, men!
Ji Linyuan tried to look away, but when he lowered his head, he noticed that the hot spring pool contained several medicinal herbs that were very helpful for the healing of wounds.
"Young Master...is he injured?"
"without."
"Then why..." At this point, the little wolf cub seemed to suddenly realize something and subconsciously tightened his grip on the white jade thumb ring.
Was the medicinal herb placed there because of... him?
Now, not only the tips of his ears turned red, but his entire ear turned red.
Ji Linyuan took two steps forward, took out a soft chain he always carried, and placed it between the two trees. Then he simply draped his tattered clothes over the chain, creating a simple barrier to separate himself from Si Jin.
He must not let the young master discover his treacherous intentions, otherwise, everything else will fall apart.
Ji Linyuan took several deep breaths, trying to calm himself down, but just then, Si Jin asked, "Why are we separated?"
"My injuries are so gruesome that they might offend your eyes, young master."
“Alright.” Si Jin continued, “The wound medicine is here. I put it here when I treated my injuries last time. Hold on, I’ll hand it to you.”
"Okay." Ji Linyuan came to the front of the clothes, gently lifted a corner, and took Si Jin's medicine.
Her thoughts raced, and just as she was about to ask him how he had been injured, the young Gu master grabbed her hand.
Before I give you the medicine, I want to ask you a question.
Ji Linyuan felt a chill run down his spine and immediately became wary. Miao territory and the Central Plains exchanged envoys every year, and their relationship was quite good.
You Sijin, would you also want to help his usurping uncle arrest him?
Just as I was on guard, I saw a hint of a smile forming in the misty peach blossom eyes of the person in front of me, and suddenly asked.
"Is the spider lily on my neck nice to wear?"
