“From today onward, you will stay here and make the pills.” Lu Fenying waved his hand. “Red Wolf, take them away.”


  An intimidating guard who looked like a dark-faced monster stepped forward. “Please follow me!”


  Red Wolf was one foot taller than Gu Bailu. When Qian’er saw him, she huddled even closer to Gu Bailu in fear.

  “Don’t be scared, he’s just a little taller.” Gu Bailu patted her back and the two of them followed Red Wolf out of the pavilion.

  After they left, Lu Fenying narrowed his eyes and said, “The people you brought are exceptionally bold.”


  The master of the Su family fell on his knees. “It was my negligence. I didn’t instruct them in the etiquette in advance……”


  “Get up. This Daoist nun is clearly fearless; instructing her would have been pointless. As long as they can cure Weiwei, it’s nothing worth getting angry over,” said Lu Fenying casually.

  The master of the Su family kowtowed gratefully. “It is Muwei’s good fortune to be cherished by you, Your Highness.”


  “Check the backgrounds of these two Daoist nuns and find out what they came from before they converted.”


  Lu Fenying felt that they weren’t simple Daoist nuns.

  One wasn’t intimidated by him at all, as if she had seen many bigshots before. The pride engraved in her bones didn’t befit a Daoist nun either.

  The other was a timid mouse who was terrified of him, but even then, he still saw an unbending will in her eyes. Also, he clearly sensed that her fear of him wasn’t because he was the crown prince.

  It was like the fear of death. But what Daoist nun would be so scared of dying? What sort of Dao was she learning?

  Also…… Did all Daoist nuns wear such loose robes?

  “Yes, Your Highness. I’ll look into it right now. Are you really going to keep them here?”


  The master of the Su family felt that it would be safer if those two stayed in the Su house.

  When all was said and done, nothing good could come out of the two Daoist nuns staying in the crown prince’s residence.

  While the master of the Su family thought that the two nuns were plain-looking, they did have unique temperaments that easily caught a person’s attention.

  And the crown prince was no ordinary person; he really might not mind their looks.

  “It’s fine for them to stay here.” Lu Fenying lay back down and picked up a book from next to the couch to start reading.

  In other words, there was no room for discussion. The master of the Su family could only keep his intended suggestion to himself.

  He quietly exited the pavilion. When the crown prince picked up his book, it was a sign that guests should leave quietly.

  The master of the Su family knew the crown prince too well, but he didn’t understand why the crown prince wanted the two Daoist nuns to stay.

  He had thought that the crown prince would only meet with the Daoist nuns and see if they were reliable. He never expected the crown prince to directly detain them.

  The master of the Su family was a little uneasy.

  Seeing his father come out, the second son of the Su family asked, “Father, why are you alone? Where are the two Daoist nuns?”


  His father glared at him. “Why are you so worried about them?”


  The second son asked worriedly, “Were they killed for offending the crown prince?”


  His father scoffed. “Are you into the two Daoist nuns?”


  The second son chuckled. “You have to be joking, father. I’m only concerned about my sister’s health.”


  “The crown prince had them stay. Why do you think he would do that?” The master of the Su family didn’t understand at all.

  No guests had ever stayed at the crown prince’s residence, and certainly no women.

  “I think he’s worried that we can’t keep the two Daoist nuns in our Su house, and something might happen halfway through making the pills,” the second son surmised.
