Chapter 241 Not in vain
The guards outside, who were keeping an eye on the commotion, were all stunned.
Someone whispered, "Could something have happened? The Sixth Prince is screaming so pitifully. Should we go in and check on him? Or perhaps report to the Prince?"
They didn't see the Sixth Prince lay a hand on them, but they felt that Green Water Girl suddenly got angry and tortured the Sixth Prince to death, his screams as miserable as a pig being slaughtered.
However, they could guess that it was the sixth prince who was rude first.
After Meng Lingge and her servant arrived at the military camp, they brought many practical benefits to the soldiers. Green Water Girl was also a gentle and kind doctor. Whenever they had minor ailments, Green Water Girl would treat them with great enthusiasm.
Therefore, the guards naturally sided with Green Water.
The other guards all looked at the person who had asked the question.
"Isn't it obvious to everyone? No healing is without pain. There's no need to bother Your Highness with such a trivial matter."
"That's right. His Highness instructed that if the Sixth Prince disrespected Miss Green Water, his first priority should be protecting her safety. Now that Miss Green Water is safe, why should we interfere?"
The guard who had spoken earlier quickly nodded and said, "Brothers, you are absolutely right. I was just being foolish."
Inside the tent, the green water had treated all the wounds. The Sixth Prince had gone from sitting arrogantly to lying helplessly on the bed. He had just taken a bath and was now soaked in sweat all over.
He hadn't eaten all day and had planned to play around in the green water for a while before indulging in a hearty meal.
Instead, she got a beating from the green water, which hurt her body and her heart even more.
Seeing that Lu Shui had packed up her medicine box and was about to leave,
The sixth prince said in a hoarse voice, "Stop!"
Green Water turned around and looked at him expressionlessly, as if to say, "Speak your mind."
The sixth prince struggled to raise his head, gritting his teeth as he said, "Remember to come and change my dressing tomorrow."
He didn't perform well today; let's wait and see tomorrow.
Lu Shui remained noncommittal, then left with a cold expression, carrying her medicine box.
The sixth prince felt weak all over, partly from pain and partly from exhaustion.
He lay on the bed for a long time, his mind wandering, but strangely, the image of green water kept appearing in his mind.
Green Water's fear upon their first meeting, her fearlessness when agreeing to treat him, and her focused attention while healing his wounds just now...
What will she be like tomorrow?
The sixth prince's lips unconsciously curled up, and he began to look forward to tomorrow. But then he thought that if his guess was true and Green Water was going to do something shameful that night, an indescribable anger rose in his heart.
That brat would rather fool around with those sweaty, smelly soldiers than give him a kind look.
Green Water had no idea that the Sixth Prince thought so badly of her. When the Sixth Prince teased her about being busy all night, she thought he meant that she had to take care of the young lady and treat the patients. If she had known that the Sixth Prince thought of her as a military prostitute, she would have been even more ruthless when she attacked him.
At the very least, the Sixth Prince's wolfish claws should be rendered immobile for a short period of time.
Over the years she spent in the Du family mansion, she was always surrounded by the women of the Du family, who were all very polite and courteous to her. Occasionally, when she went to the streets with her master to provide free medical consultations for half a day, she mostly encountered honest and law-abiding people.
Even if she encounters one or two scoundrels, her master and the people of the Du family will take care of it for her.
This was the first time she had dealt with a patient with impure thoughts on her own.
She was fairly satisfied with her reaction today; she neither suffered a loss nor caused trouble for her mistress, and she even left the Sixth Prince speechless with bitterness.
Because of this satisfaction, Lu Shui slept soundly without any dreams. The next morning, she went to change the Sixth Prince's dressing with a refreshed look.
The Sixth Prince was having breakfast. He wasn't used to the food in the Tiger Soaring Army camp, but he needed to recover his strength as soon as possible.
This was partly to show the Blue Feather Kingdom envoy that he was in good condition, and partly to deal with Green Water.
He was struggling to stuff biscuits and porridge into his mouth when he saw Lvshui walk in, her face glowing with health and even a hint of a smile.
When she doesn't smile, she's as cold as ice; when she smiles, the ice melts away.
The sixth prince cursed inwardly, thinking to himself that this girl must be a demon who had absorbed enough yang energy in one night, so she was able to do other things during the day after working all night.
But why does this demon look down on his yang energy?
The sixth prince wiped his mouth and looked intently at Green Water.
"Green Water Maiden, what do you think of my body?"
Seeing that his attitude was acceptable today, Green Water looked him up and down and said seriously, "All that glitters is not gold."
What?
The sixth prince was so angry that his face turned red, and he was filled with resentment.
Does this mean he's all show and no substance, good-looking but useless?
He's not kidding!
"Quack doctor! I am in good health. My women all say I am strong and healthy. Stop talking nonsense."
Green Water didn't even bother to glance at him.
This person looks strong, but at such a young age his hands and feet are colder than a woman's, and his body is prone to heat and sweating, which is obviously due to insufficient qi and blood and weak spleen and stomach. He is all show and no substance, so what is there to be angry about?
He asked the question himself, and after I answered it, he became unhappy.
She took the medicine bottle and silver needles and prepared to go forward to change the sixth prince's dressing.
After the Sixth Prince's outburst of rage, no one paid him any attention. He realized that Green Water was more interested in him than in the wounds on his body.
"Step back. I am having my meal. You may wait here."
He couldn't do anything else, so he wanted to leave the little girl hanging for a while and let her understand her own status and situation.
"Then enjoy your meal."
The green water is neither humble nor arrogant.
The next second, he carried the table from inside the tent to the door and said to the guards standing outside, "I am free now. If any of the soldiers are feeling unwell, you can come over and let me treat you."
Meng Lingge spent most of her time with the King of Northern Frontier and did not need her care.
Lu Shui had a lot of free time in the military camp and often treated the soldiers. However, she was not a military doctor, so the guards were embarrassed to bother her. Now that she had taken the initiative to ask, the guards were overjoyed and several of them immediately crowded around her.
The Sixth Prince had intended to make Green Water feel awkward and helpless while waiting, but now Green Water treated this place like a clinic, being careful and gentle with the guards, who in turn treated her with respect and courtesy. The Sixth Prince was the one who felt awkward and helpless.
While he was annoyed, he also sensed something was amiss. If Lushui were a military prostitute, these guards would never have been so respectful to her, and their eyes would have been so clean, without any impure thoughts.
Although Green Water spoke softly to the guards, she did not deliberately try to please or flatter them.
Could it be that he really has a dirty mind, and that Green Water is really just a doctor?
Thinking about it this way, the harmonious scene before him became even more jarring.
He's a prince, isn't he more respectable than these guards? They'd rather fawn over those roughnecks than stay here and change his bandages.
"I'm full. Hurry up and come over here to change my dressing."
