GongYimo was convinced. Was this a personality disorder?
Forget it, let's not care about him. "Hey, I saved you. Shouldn't you give me some reward?"
She had a treacherous smile on her face. Si Wuyan looked at her mischievous smile even though she was in a sorry state. He did not know why his heart, which was originally surging with anger, calmed down. He did not hate her. Instead, he wanted to laugh.
"What do you want?"
He thought that GongYimo would ask him to immediately cure the scorpion poison in her body. Who knew that GongYimo would say, "If I can only make one request, I want the elixir on your body that can regenerate muscles and bones!"
Her expression gradually turned serious. When Si Wuyan heard this, his expression gradually turned cold. He looked deeply at GongYimo, as if he wanted to see something from her small face. But in the end, he did not say anything. He still took out a jade box from his bosom.
"What is this?"
Si Wuyan said in a low voice, "This is the Muscle Revitalizing Ointment that Imperial Mother personally concocted. It can revive the dead and regenerate flesh and bones."
GongYimo's eyes lit up when she heard this. She hurriedly opened the box. The sparkling ointment exuded a kind of intoxicating smell.
Just as Si Wuyan was about to get up, GongYimo suddenly used her hand to pick up a bit and smeared it on her injured face.
Si Wuyan wanted to stop her, but it was too late! Once the ointment touched the wound, the bleeding immediately stopped, but a faint green color appeared.
"Are you crazy!!"
Si Wuyan snatched the box back and somewhat panicked as he searched for something on his body.
GongYimo was a little amused. Just how many things was this person hiding on his body? But this smile became fainter and fainter. Looking at his panic and the faint numbness on his face, she sighed softly.
"If you want others to trust you, first of all, you have to be worthy of their trust."
Si Wuyan's hand paused. He glanced at her. His eyes were full of shock and somewhat evasive.
GongYimo sat up and knelt on the ground. She stroked his head strenuously with a gentle expression.
"If you want people to care about you, you have to pay a price first … This is human nature. Perhaps people are selfish and cunning, but how many people are insatiably greedy?"
"If you can only see the ugliness of human nature, then it will show you even more ugliness. But if you can see kindness, you will also discover how kind people can be."
It was as if he was walking in a pitch-black night. His entire body was covered in scars from all the bumps and bruises. However, someone suddenly pushed open a window in front of him. What shone in was the sunlight that he longed for and was afraid to face.
Si Wuyan didn't know how to describe his feelings at that moment. Not only was he shocked, but he also didn't know what to do. He could only find some medicine with a cold expression and apply it on her face.
This time, the medicine he took out was placed in a wooden box. When he touched his face, he actually felt a pulling sensation. It was amazing. This must be the Muscle Revitalizing Ointment!
Si Wuyan hadn't finished applying it when GongYimo snatched it from his hands. She smiled evilly. "This must be the Muscle Revitalizing Ointment, right?!"
She simply wanted to praise herself for being quick-witted!
Si Wuyan looked at her with a complicated expression. He looked deeply at her and didn't say anything. In the end, he got up and prepared to leave.
"Eh? Where are you going? "
He looked down at a certain girl who didn't care about her image at all.
"Do you think the scorpion poison in your body is easy to get rid of? I don't have any suitable medicine on me. I have to go back and make another one. "
GongYimo smiled. After whistling, the horse she was sitting on just now galloped back. She pinched her sore muscles and looked at the wooden box in her hands. She couldn't help but think.
Sigh, it really wasn't easy to trick him into giving her a box of medicine …
When they returned to the city, Gong Dai was actually awake. Moreover, he had been waiting for her at the city gate with a cold expression.
When he saw GongYimo, Gong Dai didn't even have time to smile before he was frightened by her sorry state. He glared fiercely at Si Wuyan who was sitting behind the horse. That gaze could almost kill!
GongYimo was very happy to see Gong Dai. She jumped off the horse and ran in front of Gong Dai. She was a little worried. "Do you still feel dizzy? Why did you suddenly run out?"
Gong Dai smiled at her, then took off his coat and draped it over GongYimo's body. "It's so cold now. Why didn't you wear more when you went out?"
GongYimo smiled a little embarrassedly. Gong Dai cleaned the dried grass on her head with a helpless expression. "Royal Sister is a big girl now … Where did you roll around?"
GongYimo was too embarrassed to say that it wasn't just one round. She had rolled around more than ten times. She pulled on his sleeve and acted coquettishly.
"Let's go back quickly … I'm so hungry!"
Gong Dai saw that she had purposely skipped this question. He looked at her helplessly. "Alright, let's go home."
But when he turned around, his dark jade-like eyes coldly glanced at Si Wuyan who was still sitting on the horse behind him.
If this person wasn't still useful, he would have cut him into pieces!
Si Wuyan was ten years older than Gong Dai. He replied with a cold smile. He knew that as long as GongYimo was around, Gong Dai wouldn't dare to do anything to him. He was fearless.
During dinner, GongYimo met Zhenxi Of Gojoseon and his family for the first time. She was a little embarrassed. After all this time, she had troubled them so much but didn't have the chance to have a proper gathering.
Zhenxi Of Gojoseon was already in his fifties. He had a son named Li Changfeng, a daughter-in-law named Li Zhangshi, two grandsons, and a granddaughter. Then there was his princess consort, Li Ru. His family members weren't complicated at all, so it was easy to interact with them.
However, GongYimo was very absent-minded throughout the meal. When the princess consort finally held her hand and finished nagging, GongYimo quickly took Gong Dai back to their room. Zhenxi Of Gojoseon couldn't stop smiling when he saw that the two children had a good relationship. However, he was a man after all, so he was careless. On the contrary, the princess consort was a little worried.
"These two children have a good relationship …"
She frowned slightly. After all, she was a lady from a noble family, so she still didn't agree. "It's just that the princess and His Highness aren't young anymore. If they stay in the same room from time to time, I'm afraid it will affect their reputation."
Zhenxi Of Gojoseon said loudly, "What are you afraid of? Although they aren't biological siblings from the same mother, they have relied on each other for so many years. They are almost as close as real siblings! I'll see who dares to talk nonsense! "
The princess consort opened her mouth, but didn't say anything in the end.
His Highness was a man, so he was too careless. When she thought about how His Highness reacted when the princess was in danger, it was reasonable to say that they had a deep relationship. However, it was just a meal just now. The princess wanted to eat fish, but His Highness had already removed the fish bones. Before she finished eating, His Highness scooped some soup to cool it down. Just as she finished drinking the soup, His Highness handed her a handkerchief …
This … really didn't seem like something her younger brother would do. It was more like …
She paused and didn't dare to think too deeply about it.
Gong Dai allowed GongYimo to pull him along. Looking at her lively appearance of being able to eat and jump, it was as if they had returned to a few years ago. However, the difference was that back then, they were in the palace and had to be careful with every step. Now that they were out, no one could control how they interacted with each other.
