Chapter 830: Chapter 830: Discovery
Ye Jiu didn’t linger much longer because a plan had already ford in her mind.
After Ye Jiu obediently left, Sikong Mo suddenly reached out and covered his chest where Ye Jiu had just pushed.
He reached out to undo his collar, revealing the traces of bandaged wounds underneath, and Sikong Mo couldn’t help but feel relieved. Fortunately, the winter clothing was thick enough, so the blood from the wound hadn’t seeped through.
Si Bei knocked on the door and ca in from outside. Seeing Sikong Mo’s wound reopen once more, he said, “Master, why has the wound split open again? I’ll go find a doctor.”
“Stop.” Sikong Mo said, “Just help apply the dicine.”
Si Bei was still worried, but after thinking it over carefully, he decided to do as Sikong Mo had instructed.
The dicinal ointnt on Sikong Mo’s body was all provided by Ye Jiu, and its effectiveness was beyond question. However, even the best dicine requires proper rest and recuperation. Otherwise, Sikong Mo’s injury wouldn’t have taken so long to heal.
The wound on his body was actually sustained a month ago. Initially, it wasn’t too serious, and after applying dicine, it scabbed over.
But Sikong Mo recklessly decided, after the frontier border was just pacified, to journey to the capital without properly resting to heal his wounds. Instead, he endured the exhausting travel without regard for the injury.
On top of that, the nurous assassination attempts and forces trying to take his life along the way led to his wound becoming inflad and worsening.
As a result, they were forced to delay their journey and only now entered the capital.
However, seeing the master’s wound starting to bleed again, they couldn’t miss tonight’s palace banquet, and they also couldn’t let anyone find out that their master was injured, which worried Si Bei greatly.
Ye Jiu had just left the teahouse, but she couldn’t shake the feeling that sothing was off.
Sikong Mo actually let her leave alone; shouldn’t a man first see her ho?
Moreover, his urgency to rush her away just now was indeed strange!
Suddenly, as Ye Jiu pondered, she noticed the Furry Ball having so unusual movents within the space and quickly found a secluded corner to bring it out of the space.
Ye Jiu reached out and poked its chubby little body, “You, don’t you know you can’t let others see you? What are you bouncing around inside the space for?”
Poor little Furry Ball couldn’t speak.
Fortunately, due to their contractual connection, Ye Jiu could clearly sense what it wanted to convey.
“What, you’re saying Sikong Mo is injured, and there’s even evidence of poisoning?” Ye Jiu exclaid in surprise.
Following this, Furry Ball shook and even nodded as if affirming.
After putting the Furry Ball back into the space, Ye Jiu continued in deep thought.
If Sikong Mo was indeed injured, then his behavior just now made sense.
He didn’t want her to discover his wound and thus was eager to send her away, and because of the injury, he couldn’t escort her back.
She also recalled the mont at the beginning when she pushed him.
She was really foolish, thinking he was joking with her, yet she overlooked that Sikong Mo’s temperant would never joke with her like that for no reason!
Turning back, Ye Jiu retraced her steps towards the private room in the teahouse, didn’t bother knocking, and directly reached out to open the door.
Just in ti, she saw Si Bei assisting Sikong Mo in applying dicine.
The action of opening the door caused both Sikong Mo and Si Bei to turn around simultaneously, and they imdiately spotted Ye Jiu standing at the doorway, already stepping towards them.
