"Hey! Why is blood still gushing out?"
"I'll handle this. You're in charge of handing me things."
"good."
The white cloth strip was replaced with a head immediately stained with blood. The head was bright red, and Ye Lisheng's hands were also covered in blood.
In my dazed state, I kept feeling someone touching my wounds, and every touch made me break out in a cold sweat from the pain.
Seeing me frown, Ye Lisheng whispered in my ear, "I'll blow on it for you, and it won't hurt anymore."
The voice was gentle and familiar, and her brows gradually relaxed.
Fan Feng looked on incredulously, his jaw nearly dropping in shock.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that the dignified Ye Lisheng could be so gentle.
"I've always wanted to ask you a question: she looks exactly like Murong Kui, how did you tell them apart?"
He paused in his movements, recalling the moment he first saw me upon entering Lan Yi: "I recognized her from the very first glance."
There was a hint of pride in his words.
"Here's your knife!" Fan Feng handed the red-hot knife to Ye Lisheng.
Just as he was about to catch it, his hand trembled, and the sharp tip of the knife immediately cut a gash in his hand.
Blood flowed out from the wound and dripped onto my injured wrist.
"Oh! Are you alright?" Fan Feng asked nervously.
Putting aside the question of right and wrong, Fan Feng said with a look of self-reproach, "You take care of your wound, I'll help her."
Fan Feng casually took off the strip of cloth from his wrist to replace it with a clean one, but he was stunned by what he saw.
He rubbed his eyes in disbelief and asked, "Are you sure her wound is here?"
Ye Lisheng looked in the direction he was looking and saw that the shocking wound was gone. The skin on her wrist was delicate and fair, and it didn't look like she was injured at all.
"Where did her wound go?" Fan Feng thought he was looking at the processor, so he rubbed his eyes and looked again, but he still couldn't find the wound.
"She's injured, isn't she? Are you sure she's injured?" Fan Feng asked somewhat flusteredly.
Ye Lisheng suddenly remembered the time when she was injured and had to find Xintouxie.
Among the prescriptions written by Imperial Physician Wang, there was an ingredient called "heart blood," which Lingran couldn't find no matter how hard he looked.
When asked, Imperial Physician Wang gave only a vague answer, saying that he had heard people mention this herb, but had never seen it before.
He had never encountered this illness before; he only knew about it from medical books.
With a worried expression, he repeatedly instructed Lingran, "The prince suffers from a rare illness; the herb 'heart's blood' is absolutely essential."
The wound was clearly very difficult to treat, but it healed on its own after I spent the night with him. Doctor Wang was very curious and wanted to go into the cave to find out the reason, but he covered it up.
Looking at it now, it seems increasingly strange. Why did the injury happen so easily and then healed?
"Hey. She's not some kind of monster, is she?" Not only is the wound on her wrist gone...
"With you here, what do I have to be afraid of!" The words came out unconsciously, and my face burned with embarrassment.
I just want to slap myself. How could I say something like that?
Ye Lisheng, that ice block, wouldn't go along with my sweet talk. Instead, she raised her head high and said some things that pierced my heart.
"Hmph! I can't guarantee I'll always be by your side!"
I rolled my eyes at him, perhaps because of what he had said in front of the Emperor, or perhaps because the Emperor's words had upset me.
"Of course! The Prince of Anyang is very busy with his affairs and has many wives and concubines. How could he possibly have time for a little me!"
"Are you jealous?" Even when teasing someone, Ye Lisheng maintained a cold demeanor.
"How could that be? I'm so happy for you!"
He stared into my eyes, trying to find even the slightest trace of a lie.
Then she smiled gently, revealing two small dimples at the corners of her mouth.
He shook his head helplessly and said, "You really are a silly girl!"
After this incident, the storm seemed to have subsided somewhat, but beneath the surface, many unseen undercurrents were brewing.
The spider lilies inside the Celestial Master's Mansion were blooming profusely, burning like red flames.
A woman in a flowing dress is gently sniffing among the flowers.
Every smile and gesture was so dignified and elegant, leaving a lasting impression.
"Okra?" Mo Sheng exclaimed, her eyes gleaming with a strange light.
Then, he coldly changed his tune, saying, "It should be Miss Murong Kui!"
You will be surprised to find that Murong Kui's previously burned skin is now as delicate as a newborn's, with skin as smooth as cream.
"We look exactly alike, how did the Imperial Advisor recognize us?"
"Although they look the same, their manners and habits cannot be learned, and Miss Murong is many times more beautiful than Qiu Kui!"
She laughed happily, more radiant than the red spider lily.
"The Imperial Advisor is certainly joking."
"Then why do you like her instead of me?"
As if someone had hit the nail on the head, Mo Sheng's face immediately fell.
"Miss Murong, what makes you say such a thing!"
She leaned closer to him and said mysteriously, "Didn't you notice? Your eyes seemed to sparkle when you mentioned her name!"
He felt as if his secrets had been spied on, and he looked away uncomfortably.
She chuckled and said, "Grand Preceptor, don't worry. On the contrary, we should thank you and the Celestial Master. If it weren't for you, the Murong clan would still be living with human skin masks all day long!"
"Did you spread the rumors in the city?"
She didn't dodge Mo Sheng's questions.
"Does the Imperial Advisor think that what I said was false?"
He was rendered speechless by her question and couldn't find a better way to refute her.
I could only find a random sentence to refute it.
