The prince is very cruel

“It should be very effective.”

"As long as you drink it, I will get out of here immediately and will definitely not be a nuisance to you. How about it?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the tray beside the bed, which contained a steaming bowl of ginger-red soup and some green, sticky ointment.

Lou Xinyue was stunned for a moment, and then saw that he was dirty, most likely because he was picking herbs for her. Her eyes couldn't help but become slightly complicated, but when she thought of what Guan Ning had done, she was still angry.

"Why should I listen to you?"

Guan Ning smiled and said, "If you don't listen, I'll just hang around right under your nose. Are you annoyed?"

"How can you be so shameless!" Lou Xinyue gritted her teeth.

"Yes, I'm naturally thick-skinned. You'd better not provoke me. If you drink, I'll leave. If you don't drink, hehe..."

"Just tell me whether you want to drink or not?" Guan Ning gave a mean smile.

Maybe Lou Xinyue really couldn't do anything to him, or maybe she had a way out. After hesitating for a moment, she picked up the ginger soup and drank it all in one gulp. The frown on her face was truly stunning.

"I've drunk it. I can apply the medicine myself. You can go out now!" she said coldly.

Guan Ning took the bowl away and nodded, "Okay."

"Remember to apply it on your lower abdomen, don't be angry."

Having said that, he left keeping his promise.

Lou Xinyue's mood also improved a little. Her beautiful eyes swept over the green medicinal paste, and a hint of doubt flashed across her eyes. How did this guy know that her lower abdomen hurt?

Did he know he was coming?

After looking outside the house, she took the medicine.

……

A few hours later, the wind and snow were still blowing outside the door, and it was all white. Occasionally, one or two stray migratory birds would fly by. Apart from that, the whole world was like a beautiful painting, motionless.

Guan Ning sat at the door, holding a branch in his mouth, staring at the sky in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

Suddenly, Lou Xinyue's voice came from inside the house.

"Come in."

Two words, simple and clear, cold and aloof.

Guan Ning was delighted and immediately stood up, patted his butt, then pushed the door open and walked in. The first time he saw Lou Xinyue, he immediately showed his signature smirk.

"Hey, are you feeling better?"

Lou Xinyue's complexion looked much better. It was not as pale anymore, and there was no cold sweat on her forehead. Although she still felt a little uncomfortable, it was far better than the excruciating pain she had just felt.

She nodded slightly, her attitude neither good nor bad.

It is obvious that the relationship between the two seems to have eased.

Guan Ning moved closer tentatively: "You can't touch cold water. Do you have any dirty clothes? I'll help you wash them."

Hearing this, Lou Xinyue's beautiful eyes looked very unnatural, and ripples appeared in her heart, like the still surface of a lake!

It was the first time that she had been cared for so much by someone, and this care went far beyond just friendship.

"Need not."

"Please sit down. I have something to ask you." She changed the subject.

Guan Ning didn't force it and found a chair: "I know what you want to ask, but I really don't have that kind of relationship with that woman!"

Lou Xinyue squinted her eyes and said coldly: "You are too narcissistic. Whether you have that kind of relationship with her or not, does it have anything to do with me?"

Guan Ning curled his lips: "It's fine as long as I don't have any."

"Hmph." Lou Xinyue snorted, and then said, "Do you know who she is?"

Guan Ning raised an eyebrow, becoming interested. He was about to say something, but when he felt Lou Xinyue's fixed gaze, he immediately changed his words: "I don't know, and I don't care."

Lou Xinyue smiled.

"She is the Saint of the Holy Lotus Sect."

Guan Ning opened his eyes wide: "What kind of religion is the Holy Lotus Sect?"

"It's one of the largest evil cults in the entire Central Plains!"

"They used the method of scattering beans to create soldiers and praying for wind and rain. In a short period of time, they gathered a large group of followers and settled in the Nanling area, including the Guangdong and Guangxi regions, where the Guangdong and Guangxi Governor Zhao Tai was located." Lou Xinyue said.

Guan Ning was shocked: "Is it so weird?"

"That's right. They've become a major cancer of the Wu Dynasty by using their deceptive methods. The imperial court has cracked down on them more than once over the years, but with little success."

"In the Guangdong and Guangxi regions, Zhao Tai has basically eliminated all the restless factors there with his army and ruthlessness. However, he has been unable to eliminate the Holy Lotus Sect no matter what he has done."
