The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger

Lou Jian took the clothes that the prince needed to change, glanced at them, took a golden fork from the fruit plate on the side, and hid it in her sleeve. Then she put on her brocade clothes, unveiled the gauze curtain hanging from the roof, and walked in slowly.

The hot spring Huaqing Palace was originally draining hot springs, but... as he lowered his eyes, the water in the pool where the prince was soaking did not emit a single bit of heat.

The water is cold... and people are bathing in the cold water...

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and Lou Jian shook off all unnecessary emotions. She took a cloth from the side, and according to Jiang Ya's instructions, she squatted down and helped the prince wash.

She soaked a cloth in cold water and wiped away the dried blood on her cheek. Lou Jian turned her head and looked at him. After so many years, his features were still as beautiful as ever.

"If your eyes are useless, you might as well throw them away."

Lou Jian was in a daze and lost consciousness for a while. He was ridiculed by the underwater person and then came to his senses.

He continued to wipe, but outside, the sky was full of frost and snow, and here, there was a pool of cold water. The prince's whole body was burning, and the heat from his skin even heated up the towel.

Subconsciously, Lou Jian thought that the other party was ill. But then he thought again, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace had everything he needed, and the other party didn't need his worry, nor did he need him as an enemy.

He smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly, his sleeves drooped, and he touched the hidden golden fork. He pursed his lips and looked over, but the prince still had his eyes closed and did not move.

Lou Jian held the golden fork, raised his arm slightly while hesitating, but did not put it down for a long time.

It was this moment of hesitation that disrupted his expectations. The prince opened his eyes underwater and saw the sharp cold light in front of him. He suddenly raised his hand to grab Lou Jian's wrist and threw her into the pool.

The water splashed and the sound of water was shocking.

Drowning in the water, Lou Jian resisted instinctively, and the two of them struggled underwater.

Her clothes were soaked and the cold water stung her back, causing a stinging pain. Lou Jian endured the pain in her back and struggled hard to fight back.

The small golden fork fell to the bottom of the pool. Without his only sharp weapon, Lou Jian was left with his bare hands and was under icy water, so he was very restricted.

He gathered his strength and pressed the man to the edge of the pool, restraining his arms and pressing them under the water. The prince was not wearing a single piece of clothing, his wet hair was sticking to his neck, all white except for his lips which were red as if they were soaked in blood.

There was another moment of trance. Lou Jian pushed the person down, but his mind began to stagnate and he forgot what to do next.

You Mu seized the opportunity, exerted force with his feet and kicked the man away.

His whole body was already wet like a swimming fish. When he got the chance, he counterattacked and pressed Lou Jian, who was unstable under his feet, into the water, unable to breathe and on the verge of suffocation.

The temperature of his body was almost merging with the cold water. The only source of heat was the prince who was constantly fighting with him. The heat could penetrate through the skin and the cold water, as if it was going to seep into Lou Jian's bones.

At a certain moment, he recalled the scene he saw in the courtyard. Lou Jian was unwilling to drown like this. He gathered his strength to break free from the hand that was pinching his neck, and instead threw himself over and pressed the man to the bottom of the pool.

With the cover of the pool water and his disordered thoughts, he pressed down those red lips and rubbed them as much as possible.

Naturally, a person cannot stay in the water for too long, so he gathered his strength and held on to his breathing until the force holding his hands loosened and his body went limp. Then he pushed the prince out of the water and latched him on to a corner of the pool.

"Your Highness, are you okay?" Jiang Ya's voice suddenly came from outside the palace, interrupting Lou Jian's movements.

Jiang Ya, who was guarding outside, heard the unusual sound of water inside, so he knocked on the door and disturbed them in a low voice.

Her movements faltered, and Lou Jian thought that she was going to die this time, so she increased the strength with which she gripped the prince's shoulders. With the thought of being executed, she kissed him again.

The prince's face was not in a good mood. No one would feel good to be offended like this.

He turned his head to avoid it, and the dizziness after suffocation had not yet subsided, which made it easier for Lou Jian to do what she wanted.

"Your Highness?" Outside, Jiang Ya became suspicious when he didn't get a response.

After waiting for a few more breaths, just as Jiang Ya was about to break into the room despite the punishment, there was a response from inside the room. After a sound of water, His Highness's low voice was heard:

"No problem."

There seemed to be some suppressed anger in the voice. Jiang Ya thought he was disturbing his master's rest, so he quickly begged for mercy and left.

Inside the palace, the prince took a steady look at Lou Jian, withdrew his hand, pushed the person away, stood up from the pool, and put on his outer shirt.

"Get out."

The voice was a little low, but loud enough for Lou Jian to hear the anger within.

However, Lou Jian, who was soaking in the pool, did not move.

He put his hand over his slapped cheek, and his thoughts returned to normal somewhat, but were even more confused.

Just now, the way the prince looked at him... the trace of anger that he managed to capture...

He could have ordered Jiang Ya to arrest him, or he could have killed him on the spot... He just said "get lost"... The prince recognized him... When...

Once this thought remained in my mind, it was as if a crack had appeared in the cloudy sky, and the rationality that had been overwhelmed by hatred gradually returned.

That's right... Why did Qingzan follow him all the time? How could she show kindness without his permission? The attendants around him ignored him and let him do what he wanted.

Even Jiang Ya... kept reminding him... but he was too stubborn, holding his breath and not listening to anything.

But his appearance is different from before, why did you recognize him?

How did the prince know that his appearance had changed? How did he know that?

...There was something he didn't understand...or maybe there was too much he didn't understand.

Once you delve deeper, there will be a series of questions. Lou Jian wanted to find the other party to ask clearly, but when she looked up, the prince was gone, leaving only the gauze curtain swaying gently.

The wound on the back was soaked in water, blood continued to seep out, and the wound completely broke.

Dragging heavy wet clothes, Lou Jian ignored the cold wind and staggered out, but all he saw was a row of messy footprints of palace servants on the new snow.

"Where is the prince? Where did he go?" Lou Jian asked hurriedly, pulling a palace servant at random.

The palace attendant was obviously frightened by Lou Jian's appearance and the dishevel she was in, but he quickly came to his senses and only said what he knew: "Your Highness...seems to have left the palace."

As he spoke, the palace servant pointed in a direction, then avoided Lou Jian and caught up with the group of people in front.

Lou Jian's head began to feel dizzy. Due to blood loss and hypothermia, his thinking was slow. He was unable to think too much, and he was not quite sure what the palace attendant meant. He just followed the other person's instructions and walked forward.

After Uncle Lin sent him to the Medical Valley, he spent three years healing for the burns on his face. The old doctor in the Medical Valley tried many methods to remove the scars, but he only repaired the right half of his face.

At that time, the other party said that his appearance was not suitable for presentation to others, so it would be better for him to change his appearance rather than staying in the valley for the rest of his life.

Lou Jian, who had suddenly encountered a great change, had no idea why he had survived the fire and was sent to the Medical Valley for recuperation. He was so hurt that he had no time to care about the details. Now that he thought about it carefully...

Three years ago, he followed a swordsman to learn martial arts, and during that time he heard about the Great Qi.

They said that the Crown Prince of Qi had a drastic change in his temperament, riding his horse in the street and beheading censors. They said that the Queen had passed away and General Zhao had retired to his hometown to spend his remaining years... They said too much, true and false, and Lou Jian could not tell them apart, but he was afraid to delve into it.

I am worried that there is something hidden, but I am also afraid that what I know is the truth.

The affairs of the Lou family, the injustice that the court officials were well aware of, seemed to have been forgotten by everyone as the fire burned out at dawn.

Lou Jian spent six years trying to forget those memories. He thought he could simply continue to hate and seek revenge, but to this day, he still cannot sort out his hatred and wishes.

He was timid and didn't dare to hear any news about the other party, but perhaps he had missed too much during this period...

His breathing was heavy, his legs seemed to be frozen in the snow, and his vision was black. Lou Jian dragged himself, stubbornly wanting to find You Mu to ask him clearly. At least, he wanted to hear what happened that day from his own mouth...

But the ground beneath her feet became heavier and heavier. Lou Jian could hardly walk anymore. She forced herself to take a step through the snow, but then she fell heavily.

Unable to struggle, darkness fell before his eyes, his head dropped, and his consciousness was completely lost in the ice and snow...

---------------

The information Lou Jian heard was all filtered through the laws before he could see it. Over the past three years, he had been instilled with many ideas about the prince's evil nature.

Of course, Xiao Tiandao was guarding outside and trying his best to help them.
