Xiahou Yu reacted quickly, covering his and Zixin's eyes and saying, "We didn't see or hear anything. Please, Grand Preceptor, remove the curse from us."
Mu Tiantian shook Yin Jiahan's hand again, signaling him to remove the curse.
Yin Jiahan smiled; he liked being led by her like this.
He led her into the pavilion, poured them both a cup of tea, and said, "Drink it."
Hearing the voice, Xiahou Yu lowered his hand, glanced at the tea in front of him, and looked somewhat puzzled, but still drank the tea as Yin Jiahan had instructed.
Zixin also drank it down.
After a while, the slight pain and itching sensation in their bodies disappeared.
Yin Jiahan was able to cast a curse invisibly.
"Thank you, Grand Preceptor. We apologize for the inconvenience. Miss Mu, Grand Preceptor, we have some matters to attend to, so we'll take our leave now." After saying this, Xiahou Yu pulled Zixin away hastily, closing the gate of the mansion behind them.
After the door closed, I took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly, which calmed my slightly frightened heart.
"The Imperial Advisor was terrifying." Zixin still feels scared when she thinks about how the assassin died.
Xiahou Yu reassured him, "When you go back, just pretend nothing happened. Rest well in the palace these days and don't sneak out again."
Zixin nodded.
In the courtyard.
Mu Tiantian helped Yin Jiahan sit on the stone bench, pulled open his clothes to check his injuries, and scolded him, "You went to court with such serious injuries."
Seeing the look of heartache in her eyes, Yin Jiahan's heart stirred, and he whispered, "Tian Tian..."
"What?" Mu Tiantian didn't hear what he said, so she leaned closer to him.
Yin Jiahan gazed at the red lips so close to his own and kissed them without hesitation.
Mu Tiantian responded to his kiss.
When his hands started to wander, Mu Tiantian caught him.
"No, we'll talk about it when the injury is healed."
Yin Jiahan looked unsatisfied and extremely aggrieved.
Mu Tiantian looked at the other wounds on his body and said, "You've gotten quite a few new wounds. You're not allowed to go anywhere these next few days. You have to stay put."
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say, sister."
It was midnight.
Mu Tiantian was fast asleep in Yin Jiahan's arms.
Yin Jiahan opened his eyes, kissed her forehead, and gently got out of bed.
He walked into the courtyard, opened the gate, and then sat in the pavilion, using his internal energy to activate the Gu worms within his body.
Half an hour later, a man with lifeless eyes came to Ingahan.
"Sit down," Yin Jiahan said calmly.
The man obeyed the order and sat down.
"Has the Marquis of Ding'an been acting strangely lately?" Yin Jiahan asked calmly.
Jing Jue replied, "I saw my father's face crawling with Gu worms, and his skin almost fell off. He... he is not my father."
After hearing this, Yin Jiahan had his answer and ordered, "Go back."
Jingjue stood up and walked out of the courtyard with a blank look in his eyes.
The slap he delivered to Jing Jue the other day was actually a poison.
Jing An sent people to follow and watch him. They didn't seem to have any intention of killing him, but they definitely had ulterior motives.
Therefore, by using a poison on Jingjue, he could conveniently become his eyes and ears.
Based on Jing Jue's description, it should be a face-changing Gu, which can completely replace one's own face with someone else's.
But this requires tearing off one's own face, then placing the other person's face on one's own face, and then using a face-changing curse to maintain one's appearance.
That way, no one will notice.
However, this skin needs to be replaced with new venomous insects regularly to maintain its effectiveness.
Presumably, the one disguised as Jing An was the one who had previously conspired with him to start a rebellion.
He must be a general from a border country, because only a general would possess such a precious Gu worm as the Face-Changing Gu.
Now that the world is at peace, after Dongfang Ziyi ascended the throne, the people of the border states received preferential treatment in the Tian Shang Dynasty.
Ingahan had already killed his father's killer, so he had no intention of restoring his kingdom.
He also didn't intend to pay any attention to the person who was pretending to be Jing An.
Yin Jiahan returned to the room and lay down next to Mu Tiantian.
Mu Tiantian noticed the movement beside her and let out a soft moan. Instinctively, she reached out and hugged Yin Jiahan, wrapping her arms around his waist and snuggling closer to him.
Yin Jiahan felt a strong urge to linger as she teased him.
She couldn't resist seducing him even while sleeping.
Mu Tiantian murmured in her sleep, "Xiao Han... your older sister won't leave you..."
Upon hearing this, Yin Jiahan embraced her, buried his face in the crook of her neck, and whispered, "Then you must keep your word."
"Hmm..." Mu Tiantian responded groggily.
His breathing is steady, and he shows no signs of waking up.
Yin Jiahan lightly kissed her delicate neck like a dragonfly skimming the water, then closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.
System: [Ingahan's hatred value decreased by 20, currently at 40.]
...
For the next few days, Yin Jiahan stayed in the courtyard to recuperate and did not go anywhere.
After seven tests, it was found that the Gu poison in Mu Tiantian's body had been mostly neutralized by Yin Jiahan.
Aside from Gu Ai.
Mu Tiantian was already very satisfied when she found out. At least he started to trust her and would no longer try to control her with Gu.
The Seven Strategists also discovered the truth about Dongfang Ziyi sending out assassins.
System: [I've found out that Dongfang Ziyi only intended to cripple Yin Jiahan, not kill him.]
Mu Tiantian: [You've already sent out assassins, and you still say you don't want to kill Xiao Han?]
System: [The reason for sending out assassins is because Yin Jiahan is ruthless. Once someone is poisoned by his Gu, they will suffer a fate worse than death and may even be unable to commit suicide. Only assassins can kill them cleanly and without leaving any evidence.]
Mu Tiantian: [...You're right. As long as Dongfang Ziyi doesn't touch Xiaohan, I won't touch him.]
System: [OK.]
Mu Tiantian and Qi Tong reached a consensus.
Mu Tiantian took the newly prepared medicine into the house to change Yin Jiahan's dressing.
His wounds have mostly healed and are starting to scab over.
Other superficial injuries have mostly healed.
After Mu Tiantian changed her dressing, Yin Jiahan looked at her expectantly, "Sister, is it... okay today?"
Mu Tiantian raised an eyebrow slightly, glanced at the wound, and said, "As long as you can guarantee that the wound won't reopen."
"I promise!"
"If it cracks, mmm~" Mu Tiantian hadn't finished speaking when Yin Jiahan silenced her with a kiss, flipped her over and pinned her down, impatiently.
He had been holding back for a long time.
Mu Tiantian nudged him and quickly said, "If the wound reopens, then we'll have to wait..."
Yin Jiahan wouldn't let her finish her sentence.
He could basically guess what she was trying to say.
It simply means that if the wound reopens, then the next time one can enjoy pleasure, one must wait until the wound is fully healed.
He doesn't want to.
A moment of blissful night is worth a thousand pieces of gold; to hell with all that talk of 'waiting for the wound to heal'!
