Perhaps the beauty was afraid that she would turn fierce and take away her life, so she was very compliant and quietly let Gu Xijiu tie her up.
Gu Xijiu was also a professional in tying knots. She had tied the beauty tightly to the chair, until she could not budge an inch.
After Gu Xijiu was done, she stepped back and took a glance at this beautiful princess.
A beauty being tied up, unbelievably, had another type of beauty - the pitiful type, which appeared to be exceedingly fascinating and charming. Her pair of watery eyes were looking at Gu Xijiu but the color of her eyes was rather dark and hid her emotions well...
The beautiful princess slightly lowered her head to look at the straps that were tied on her body.
Gu Xijiu was still kind towards her and was not lewd, as she deliberately skipped the part where her chest was. It was just that her tying techniques lacked in aesthetics, as she tied her up like she was tying a rock.
A sign of forbearance flashed through the eyes of the beautiful princess, and her fingers hidden in the wide sleeve seemed like they were about to make some hand gestures, but she managed to refrain herself at the end of the day.
She took a deep sigh, "Who taught you such tying techniques? It doesn’t look good at all."
Gu Xijiu, "…" The beautiful princess actually cared about such details?!
"Aren’t you afraid that I would kill you?" Gu Xijiu felt that this princess was either overprotected or being a total jerk. After all, she should be frightened, especially at this hour.
"No, I’m not. If you wanted to kill me, you would have done it in the water, instead of waiting until now." The beautiful princess replied.
It seemed like this princess was smart! She was not a simple-minded beauty.
Gu Xijiu slightly nodded her head, "You’re smart." It was always easy to communicate with a smart people.
"Everyone else paid me similar compliments too. They even praised me, for being the smartest person on this huge land." The beautiful princess said, in all seriousness.
It was not absurd to see the princess being praised by people around her as the smartest person in the world, after all, many people trying to curry favor with the royal family members.
The corner of Gu Xijiu’s lips curved slightly but she did not rest on her laurels. Instead, she started to work on another snow-white inner robe.
She did not cut it into straps this time, but she merely tore off the sleeve and walked towards the front of the beautiful princess…
"What do you want to do with it?" The beautiful princess looked at the sleeve before she shifted her focus to Gu Xijiu.
"It’s used to stuff your mouth." Gu Xijiu replied bluntly and comprehensively. When she was just about to stuff the sleeve into her charming little mouth...
"Wait!" The beauty quickly said.
Gu Xijiu stopped in her tracks and looked at her.
The beauty sighed, "Actually, I’m rather curious about something. If you’re afraid that I would shout, why didn't you just hit my acupuncture point? Wouldn’t it be much easier?"
Gu Xijiu did not answer, but instead, proceeded to stuff the sleeve into her mouth and stopped her from talking endlessly.
It was easy to hit one's acupuncture point, but it required profound internal force to do so.
Her current body had almost no internal force left. Furthermore, her chest was so painful that she could not use any of her internal force, hence, she was not even able to hit the acupuncture point of this beauty.
After she was done with the beautiful princess, Gu Xijiu was sweating profusely too.
She felt nothing when she was first hit by the hand of Rong Jialuo but as the time went by, it became worse, and now, her chest was in so much pain, as if it was splitting apart.
She rummaged for a pill and stuffed it into her mouth.
The pill was a panacea to traumatic injury and was stolen from the drug room of the general’s mansion. It was known to be precious and was hidden safely, but still failed to be hidden from Gu Xijiu…
Even though Gu Xijiu had medical knowledge and knew how to prescribe medicine, she was not able to produce her own panacea yet because she had just entered this era not too long ago. Therefore, the medicine she brought along was already ready-made in this world.
