A group of people came in and busied themselves around Lihua for a long time. After the medicine to prevent colds was prescribed, Manyue went to watch over the preparation of the medicine.

Li Hua sat back down on the edge of the bed. Gan Qiongying dismissed all the servants and personally applied a hot compress to Li Hua's legs.

Logically, at this point, Gan Qiongying should have said something kind, at least reminding Li Hua to take care of his health in the future, as nothing is more important than his health.

However, due to the embarrassing events of tonight, Gan Qiongying fell silent, which was unusual for her.

The compress was placed on Li Hua's legs and had to be moved frequently. Gan Qiongying would sit cross-legged on the bed, gently applying medicated oil to her fingers and massaging the areas where Li Hua had received the hot compress.

Li Hua changed into dry clothes and covered himself with a blanket, but he could no longer feel the slightest bit cold. The heat started to spread from his knees, and Gan Qiongying's hand on his calf was like a bunch of small flames, burning all the way to his heart.

Extremely hot.

He kept looking at Gan Qiongying, his eyes filled with a tenderness he himself was unaware of.

Gan Qiongying didn't see his gaze either; today she was a little afraid to look Li Hua in the eye.

She felt that something was off about Li Hua tonight.

However, she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong. In the end, Gan Qiongying concluded that it might be because Li Hua had gone to see Zhong Li Zhengzhen.

Zhong Lizheng, that bastard, was no good in the story.

There are five male protagonists in the story. The reason why Zhongli Zhengzhen was able to sit firmly in the main wife's position, suppress all the other wild men, and even defeat the scheming Regent King was because he was good at strategy.

Gan Qiongying still remembers that Zhongli Zhengzhen's schemes in the plot were endless, like an old sow wearing a bra, one after another.

He was also the only man who captured Wen Xueling's heart. She chased after him and finally managed to win him over. He refused to accept the other men, and his schemes and plots turned their happy family of six into chaos.

Moreover, he also abused Wen Xueling both physically and mentally.

Gan Qiongying recalled a scene where Wen Xueling accidentally lost her child during a fight among several people. However, in the dead of winter, Zhongli Zhengzhen had a conflict with her and made Wen Xueling wait for him in the freezing cold. In the end, he stood Wen Xueling up.

Wen Xueling was shivering from the cold. When she saw him, she tearfully said that she had lost her child, saying that it was their first child.

Zhongli Zhengzhen gave a very cold laugh and said cruelly, "Who knows whose bastard you're carrying? It's better for you to die sooner rather than later. Even if you were born, the child might not survive."

The original text describes Wen Xueling as turning pale, collapsing into the snow after hearing those words, and later even fainting.

Some staunch supporters of Zhongli Zhengzhen insist that Zhongli Zhengzhen said those things on purpose because she was jealous.

But when Gan Qiongying saw it, she felt that Zhong Lizheng truly disregarded human life.

Because of the veiled threat in his words during the story, he was implying to Wen Xueling that if she dared to give birth to the child, Zhong Li would dare to kill it.

Inhuman!

Gan Qiongying felt that he must have said something to Li Hua, which caused Li Hua's abnormal behavior.

In the future, we should try to find a way to make Li Hua meet Zhongli Zhengzhen less often. Li Hua is so simple and kind, how can he possibly win against someone like Zhongli Zhengzhen who is full of scheming?

Gan Qiongying couldn't ask Li Hua what Zhong Lizheng had really said to him. Li Hua had gone to see someone in the middle of the night in the rain, which clearly meant he didn't want her to know. Since he didn't want her to know, Gan Qiongying wouldn't ask any more questions.

So Gan Qiongying kept her head down, acting as if she were a professional masseuse.

Is this pressure okay?

"Do you need it a little heavier?"

"Your muscles are a bit stiff. Relax, or lie down for a bit, and I'll give you a back massage."

Gan Qiongying didn't know any massage techniques. After all, her life had been short, only a little over twenty years. She died right after finishing her studies, so she never had the chance to use such skills, and she didn't even have time to show her filial piety to her mother.

She just pressed the buttons randomly, but fortunately Li Hua didn't complain. Whether the pressure was too light or too heavy, she didn't say a word. She was a very good "guest".

Li Hua obeyed Gan Qiongying, obediently lay down, turned her back to Gan Qiongying, and closed her eyes while lying on her side.

He was also thinking about something. He was thinking that if Caihong and Quelu came, the remaining people in Jinchuan would all have some martial arts skills. If he provided them with some convenience, they would be able to seize the opportunity to escape.

Once those people escape, the royal family of Jinchuan will discover that he has betrayed them.

At that time, business in Jinchuan will naturally be suppressed, and Li Hua will quietly dispose of some of those industries.

Just as he was thinking about which ones to withdraw, he suddenly groaned and turned around to look at them with some shock.

Because Gan Qiongying didn't even say hello before getting onto the bed and straddling Li Hua's waist.

Of course, this was to apply pressure during the massage, but Li Hua... whose flag had just been lowered, was lifted up again uncontrollably after Gan Qiongying rode on her and pinched her waist a couple of times.

His mind was blank, completely blank. He couldn't bear to tell her to leave, because every inch of skin that Gan Qiongying touched made Li Hua feel an indescribable tremor.

It seems his shameful craving for being touched is incurable.

He simply lay there, berating himself while silently enjoying the sensation.

Gan Qiongying continued until she was too exhausted to go down, and by then it was already broad daylight outside.

Gan Qiongying lay down next to Li Hua and said, "I'm going to take a nap. Tell Manyue to wake me up later, I need to go see Princess Huian to ask her something..."

Li Hua responded softly, remaining motionless in the same position as before; he dared not move.

Gan Qiongying quickly fell asleep and naturally wrapped her arms around Li Hua's waist.

This caused Li Hua a lot of trouble. Once a person's thoughts break through a certain limit, they will abandon all sense of shame and moral boundaries, and continue to expand wildly in unpredictable directions.

Li Hua could no longer control his thoughts. He turned his head towards Gan Qiongying, reached out and touched her cheek as she slept, and sighed with some distress.

When Gan Qiongying woke up, the sun was not only high in the sky, but already setting in the west...

She was refreshed and had slept well, but Gan Qiongying was unable to go to Princess Huian to inquire about the situation on the Emperor's side.

And damn it, it seems she's gone off-topic!
