Chapter 380: Routines between People

"Your Highness is looking for me?" Helian Tuo was obviously a little surprised.

He had hardly seen her since the day she was brought back from the cliff by the imperial guards. But according to the imperial guards who went to rescue her that day, when the emperor and his men arrived, she was dressed in wolf clothes and carrying a fox, blocking all the assassins. Apart from being unconscious due to the poison, he had no other injuries.

Helian Tuo never expected this.

After I fell into coma, she actually risked her life to protect me!

Looking at her hands now, which were bandaged so tightly that her fingers were almost invisible, it was hard to imagine how such fragile hands could have been so strong as to block the remaining assassins.

Helian Tuo's emotions became more and more complicated.

This was the second time she saved him.

And this was after he caused her to never be able to have children again in her life.

Helian Tuo felt that he was a complete loser.

At that moment, he forgot to ask about the strange doctor and just asked her in a slightly hoarse voice, "Is your injury okay?"

When Si Linglong heard him mention his injury, she subconsciously raised her hands that were wrapped like rice dumplings.

In fact, her hand had already healed a lot, and the shallow cuts had begun to scab over, but A Yue insisted on not letting her remove the bandage, so Si Linglong had no choice but to walk around with the two dumplings on her shoulders.

Facing Helian Tuo's worried look again, Si Linglong felt that this guy was really good at acting, so she also acted, pretending to be deep and said, "That's it."

He didn't say whether he was fine or not, but just looked a bit helpless, as if he didn't just hurt his hand, but had some incurable disease.

Helian Tuo's heart was inevitably tense, but before he could speak, Si Linglong said, "Your Highness saved me before, and I have always wanted to thank you in person."

Then he gestured to Shu Hong who was standing beside him, "Shu Hong."

Shu Hong was well prepared. She immediately took out a small porcelain bottle from her waist pouch and handed it to Helian Tuo.

"This is the medicine prescribed by the hospital. Consider it a token of my appreciation. I hope you take good care of yourself."

【Stay still, don't act up, don't wander around. 】

Helian Tuo was holding the small white porcelain bottle in his hand, his eyes suddenly deepened, and the expression on his face became more complicated.

"I failed to protect Guipin that day, and instead asked Guipin to protect me desperately. I feel really guilty."

When Si Linglong heard this, she looked at him as if he were a monster.

[Who desperately protects you? Does the male protagonist have some kind of delusion? ]

"If you really feel guilty, then why don't you... return the medicine to me." Si Linglong didn't want to argue with him, and after saying that, she signaled Shuhong to take the medicine bottle back.

Helian Tuo's hands froze. He didn't expect that she would actually take it back. Seeing Shu Hong reaching out her hand, he immediately put the medicine bottle into his sleeve without saying a word.

"Your Highness is so kind, and I will not let you down."

Although he felt guilty, she specially sent the medicine to him, so he naturally had to keep it well.

As for what I owe her, there will always be a chance to repay her in the future.

Si Linglong saw his action and just glanced at him.

[So, why do people have so many tricks with each other? ]

[And this one sounds so weird. 】

Si Linglong didn't think much about it. She was still thinking about Gu Qingquan behind her. When she saw him take the medicine, she wanted to take people away.

"Prince Li, take good care of yourself. I will leave first. The Emperor is still waiting for me." He then gestured to Gu Qingquan beside him, "Doctor Liu, please come with me."

Doctor Liu Gu Qingquan lowered his eyes and nodded.

Helian Tuo watched the three people walk away, his eyes fell on that figure, his eyes were deep, and he said nothing.

Si Linglong and Shuhong led the people back to their tents, and then signaled to Shuhong, "Get some new clothes for Sister Quanfei to change into. Don't let anyone see her dressed like this."

Gu Qingquan finally looked up at this time. Her face was a little darker and her makeup was deliberately made to highlight her masculinity, but she didn't expect that she was recognized by her at the first sight.

"How did you know it was me?"

Si Linglong just smiled.

[I followed you on purpose. Of course I knew it was you, but I didn’t tell you.]

"Sister, even if you only show the back of your head, it can't hide your unique temperament. Not to mention seeing you from a distance, even if you are among thousands of soldiers, I can recognize you at a glance."

Shu Hong: ...exaggerated.

Gu Qingquan: ...exaggerated.
