The sharp tip of the silver knife pierced Shang Xiye's delicate skin, and pale red blood immediately seeped out. This was because he had an ice talisman in his body, making his blood lighter in color than that of an ordinary person.
The Ghost-Faced Gu seemed to sense something, and its body stirred slightly within its flesh and blood.
Shang Xiye's body tensed up suddenly, he let out a soft groan, and the veins on his neck bulged.
Ji Fengyao quickly stroked the middle silver needle with her left hand, pressing it down a little further, while the silver knife in her right hand swiftly circled the outer ring of silver needles and then flicked upwards.
Before the bloodied flesh fell, Ji Fengyao waved her hand to remove the silver needles, took the jade bottle containing alcohol, quickly poured some alcohol onto the handkerchief, precisely caught the piece of flesh, and then plugged the jade bottle.
The series of movements were executed in one smooth motion, almost showcasing the best performance of this mortal body.
Ji Fengyao removed all the silver needles from Shang Xiye's face. Seeing Shang Xiye trembling in pain, she paused, holding up the handkerchief soaked in alcohol. Her calm voice carried a hint of gentleness: "After the wound is treated, the pain will subside soon. Just bear with it a little longer."
"Okay..." Shang Xiye's voice was clearly weak, indicating that he was in considerable pain.
Seeing his reaction, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Ji Fengyao's cold phoenix eyes.
Even if he wants to protect that person, she will still avenge this!
No one can hurt this face!
"Alcohol can irritate wounds," Ji Fengyao gently reminded her, but her movements didn't slow down at all; instead, she quickened her pace.
In ancient times, there were no adhesive tapes or similar items. After cleaning the wound, Ji Fengyao couldn't think of a way to bandage it.
Moreover, with the weather so hot, he has to wear a mask when he goes out so that no one can tell anything.
Seeing that she hadn't made any further moves for a while, Shang Xiye turned around, his face flushed, and asked, "What's wrong? Did you fail?"
"How could that be? I've never done that before..." Ji Fengyao was holding his mask in a daze, her voice calm and proud as she was about to retort when she suddenly remembered her current identity. She quickly put on a charming smile and said, "Your Majesty, I'm just having trouble figuring out how to apply medicine to your wounds without affecting your ability to wear the mask."
"So, the Gu poison has been cleared?" Shang Xiye noticed what she hadn't finished saying, but didn't pursue the matter.
"Hmm, the Gu has been removed." Ji Fengyao raised her chin towards the jade bottle of alcohol beside her and said with a smile, "Your Highness, wear the mask for a few more months. Once the wounds heal and the residual poison in your skin is eliminated, your face will be back to being the most handsome man in the world."
The most handsome man in the world?
It turns out that his appearance held such a high place in her heart, surpassing even her father and elder brother.
Shang Xiye felt a surge of sweetness in his heart, as if he had found a way to coax her in the future.
Although the methods used are somewhat shameful, who cares? When it comes to seducing one's own wife, whatever method works, that's what it is!
Ji Fengyao had no idea that her casual remark would change the tone of their future interactions alone.
Of course, this happened several months later.
Ji Fengyao personally went to the secret room to prepare medicine for Shang Xiye's injuries and returned. Lin Shuang had already tidied up the room.
Wuhen also obeyed Shang Xiye's order and retrieved the Wind Cicada Wing.
The wind cicada is a peculiar insect in Nanli. Its wings are as thin as gauze, about the size of an adult's palm, and the inside is very sticky with a strong adsorption force. This meets Ji Fengyao's requirements for "adhesive tape" and is even more aesthetically pleasing than adhesive tape.
