She bit her lip and was too lazy to lecture him. She wrung out the wet handkerchief, carefully placed it on his injured hand, and pressed it gently, "If it hurts, say something."
Ji Xubai stared closely at her, who was close at hand, and said softly: "It doesn't hurt."
Wen Zhigu ignored his gaze, waited for the wet handkerchief to cool down a bit, then dipped it in hot water and applied it on him.
Ji Xubai's eyes slowly fell from her face to her hands. When applying it to his hands, the cuffs of Zhilu's sleeves were turned out a little, revealing a small piece of fair and smooth skin, but... Ji Xubai's eyes slowly fell from her face to her hands. Xu Bai saw the shocking scars under her wrists, which seemed to remind him clearly that he had tortured her to the point of death several times in the past.
Wen Zhigu was concentrating on dressing his hands when he suddenly heard Ji Xubai's voice whispering: "Zhigu, I'm sorry..."
... Wen Zhidao ignored him, applied it several times, and asked coldly: "Can you still move your hand if you try it?"
Ji Xubai moved cooperatively this time, "Yes."
Wen Zhigu breathed a sigh of relief, "Then it's not broken. Go back and see the doctor yourself. It's probably just a pinch injury."
Ji Xubai nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Wen Zhigu: "..."
What does it mean to listen to her? This is his own injury. What does it have to do with her!
Wen Zhigu wrung out the wet handkerchief and said calmly: "You can go."
Ji Xubai, who thought she could stay here all night after being injured, felt a little disappointed, but when she thought about Wen Zhigu's exam tomorrow, he didn't dare to delay her and had to get up.
As he was leaving, he couldn't help but turn around and say to Wen Zhigu: "Zhigu, believe it or not, I regret the things I did to you, very, very much."
However, Wen Zhigu listened to his words with a calm expression.
If regret is useful, what about the injuries you suffered...
It's always there and can never be erased in this life.
Therefore, when Wen Zhigu heard Ji Xubai's words, his heart was so calm that there was no ups and downs at all.
Ji Xubai also knew that Wen Zhigu would never forgive him no matter what. The only thing he could do was to make up for all her shortcomings bit by bit.

-
North City, Royal Palace.
In the past few days, everyone in the Purple Spirit Palace knew that the emperor and the empress had been in a cold war.
Since the queen came back from the palace last time, the emperor has not been to Ziling Palace for several days in a row.
But it is not necessarily true that the emperor was angry, because the emperor would still ask people in the Purple Spirit Palace about the queen's condition every day. If the queen did not eat a meal well, he would ask someone to prepare a new meal.
Sheng Zhiyu has liked Ji Xili for so many years, so he naturally knows everything about what she likes to eat.
However, he missed it so much that he had never stepped foot into the Purple Spirit Palace in the past few days.
And Ji Xili never asked anyone in the palace about him...
Two people, one more stubborn than the other, neither willing to bow to the other and admit their mistakes.
But on this day, when Sheng Zhiyu was handling the memorial in the main hall, he received a wedding invitation from Shenghe Palace - the fourth brother was getting married to Shu Nuan.
Sheng Zhiyu had to admit that since the last incident, he secretly did not want Ji Xili to see his fourth brother again...
He was afraid that Xi Li would eventually forget about his fourth brother, but once they met, his feelings for him would rekindle...
