Upon seeing the stack of silver notes, Ji Fengyao froze, even as she twisted her hair: "Wow, my dad and brother are so efficient at robbing people! My brother just delivered silver notes once at noon, and now he's delivering again?"
How many houses were robbed that day?
If we make such a big fuss, won't we get reported to the Emperor tomorrow and end up in jail or beheaded?
Her little face was flushed, still damp and warm from the bath, her dark eyes were clear and bright as if washed clean, her cherry-red lips were slightly open in surprise, and her half-dry hair hung down on one shoulder, making her look innocent and radiant.
Black Owl's eyes darkened as he watched. He tossed the silver notes onto the table beside her from a distance, then swaggered away like he owned the place, his nonchalant attitude seemingly saying: "That's your business, it has nothing to do with me."
This person...
Ji Fengyao chuckled, holding up the handkerchief and continuing to wipe her hair.
Sigh, there were no hair dryers in ancient times, and people couldn't easily cut such long hair. It was truly a tragedy.
Just as she was secretly eyeing the ends of her hair that reached her knees, contemplating scissors, the voice of the night watch maid came from the doorway: "Your Highness, the Prince has arrived."
Ji Fengyao got up and went out while rubbing her hair. She saw Wuhen pushing Shang Xiye in, then leaving and closing the door.
Looking at the young female bandit before him, who seemed to have just emerged from a bath, so vibrant and alluring yet unaware of her own beauty, Shang Xiye's body tensed instantly, and he subconsciously swallowed: "Today's grooming..."
"Oh, I took a medicinal bath, so it took a little longer. Please wait a moment, I'll be done soon." Ji Fengyao sat by the candlelight at the table, speeding up the process of twisting her hair, completely unaware that a raging fire was quietly rising in the eyes of the prince in front of her.
Whether it was because the little bandit had suddenly become more beautiful, or because he was particularly restless today, Shang Xiye didn't dare to go forward to dry her hair this time. He was afraid that he would lose control while drying her hair.
During today's acupuncture treatment, Shang Xiye didn't dare to open her eyes the entire time.
But without opening his eyes, his sense of smell and touch became more acute; her unique sweet fragrance and the soft touch of her fingertips on his body when she inserted needles were challenging his patience.
"This medicinal soup is quite effective. I will prepare a few doses for you tomorrow. If you have nothing to do in the future, please try to come earlier. Before you come, please send someone to let me know so that I can have the maids prepare the medicinal soup for you in advance."
The young female bandit's voice was soft and gentle, lingering softly in his ears, as if it were melting his heart.
Shang Xiye's heart was pounding. After a few throat movements, he managed to squeeze out a single, somewhat hoarse word: "Okay."
Does this person have a cold?
Ji Fengyao looked up in confusion and casually checked his pulse; it was beating very fast!
"Your Highness, are you feeling unwell? Your pulse is beating so fast." Ji Fengyao was a little worried. He was in the vortex of the power struggle in the capital, and he was the most prominent one. He could easily fall into a trap somewhere.
"I... am fine, it's just that my leg injury hurts terribly," Shang Xiye's voice grew increasingly hoarse, sounding strained, and the tips of his ears were flushed red.
"Why does it hurt so much today?" Ji Fengyao asked, puzzled. She quickly straightened his legs, which were sitting cross-legged. "Stop sitting cross-legged. Straightening your legs helps with blood circulation. I'll prick your legs first. Please bear with it."
Shang Xiye's face turned even redder, and he closed his eyes tightly, leaning forward as much as possible, not wanting her to see his embarrassing situation.
But how could Ji Fengyao not see him at such a close distance?
