The prince is very cruel

"This bastard!"

She couldn't help but curse, her eyes were full of frost, and her knuckles were clenched white.

Then she covered the exposed part and looked in the direction Guan Ning left, her deep and cold phoenix eyes filled with complexity.

She originally came to kill Guan Ning, but now she let him go. The two of them got to know each other after a fight and hurt each other. By chance, they unexpectedly cooperated again.

She herself felt it was a bit magical, but no matter what, for Lord Chang, she chose to believe it once.

……

When we returned to the capital, it was already dawn.

A hazy azure sky enveloped the ancient capital. Although there were few people in the streets and alleys, the servants and women in every household got up first when cocks crowed and drums sounded.

bang bang bang...

There was a quick and subtle knock on the door.

"Who?" Qin Yao, who was dressing up, asked.

"Sister Yao, it's me."

Qin Yao trotted out quickly, not even bothering to put on her shoes. She opened the door with a snap, and her smile stopped abruptly.

Guan Ning was soaked all over, with a large blood stain on his chest. His face was as pale as paper, as if he had suffered a serious illness.

Qin Yao's tears suddenly flowed down, and she rushed out to support Guan Ning.

"What's wrong with you?" Her voice was even trembling.

"Sister Yao, it's okay, help me in. I just got a minor injury, but it's nothing serious." Guan Ning leaned against the door, looking very weak.

"How can you be okay? You're bleeding!" Qin Yao burst into tears, feeling extremely heartbroken, as if she herself was bleeding.

Guan Ning couldn't help but smile. Sister Yao might not be able to help him with anything, nor was she the most beautiful woman in the world, but she was definitely the woman who loved him the most.

He tried hard to close the door, put his hand on Qin Yao's shoulder, and walked inside with difficulty. His tone suddenly became serious: "Listen to me, something big is going to happen in the capital soon!"

"Please don't spread the word about my injury. Ask Butler Bai to look after the people in the mansion. Everything should continue as usual."

"Also, inform Shengqi that when he finds Yu Dilong, tell him that I'm back safely and ask them to come back quickly as well."

"If the government comes to investigate, let them do it. If there's something uncontrollable, have Shengqi go to Taoyuan. He knows what to do."

Hearing this, Qin Yao cried even harder, thinking he was explaining his last wishes: "Stop talking, stop talking!"

"I'll find a doctor for you."

Guan Ning grabbed him fiercely: "Sister Yao, don't go. Don't let anyone know that I was injured outside. Do as I say!"

His tone was extremely serious.

Qin Yao was stunned for a moment, then nodded with tears in her eyes.

"There are medicines in that box. Just come and bandage me." Guan Ning was extremely tired after giving the instructions, and collapsed on the soft bed with a thud.

Qin Yao burst into tears, ruining her makeup: "Okay, okay."

"Don't move."

"If you die, I won't live either." She choked. Although she was extremely beautiful, she spoke like those common women, very down-to-earth. At this moment, she was frantically rummaging through the drawers, very anxious.

Guan Ning closed his eyes to rest. The reason why he was so weak was not because of the sword. He had dodged the sword and was only slightly injured at most. The fundamental reason was that he had been poisoned and the remaining poison had not yet been cleared, which happened to cause trouble.

He let Qin Yao cut open his clothes with scissors. Seeing the wound inside, Qin Yao covered her red lips to prevent herself from crying out loud, but tears kept falling down.

"Sister Yao, I'm okay. I'm really fine."

"Remember what I told you. Don't forget. Don't tell anyone else that I'm injured. Just say I've been in the mansion. Don't even tell Butler Bai. Do you understand?"

Qin Yao choked up, tears streaming down her face, and said in panic, "I know, I know, please stop talking, please."

She didn't care about anything else and grabbed the bra she had taken off the bed, helped Guan Ning wipe the sweat off his forehead, and then began to clean and apply medicine.

Guan Ning was unconscious throughout the whole process and soon fell into a deep sleep, but his breathing was normal.

"..."

A few hours later, it was already noon in the capital.
