I just want to be a princess, no, you want to be a queen

Chapter 209 Contraception Exposed

Chu Mingzheng said: "Bring it here!"

Yeo-young stepped forward, trembling. The princess had instructed her not to let go of the medicine, so she had watched from the moment she bought it, boiled it, and watched the princess drink it. She had never expected to meet His Highness.

Chu Mingzheng picked up the medicine bowl and fed Lu Mingyang with his own hands.

Thinking of the hand that was placed on his lower abdomen last night, Lu Mingyang panicked: "I'm almost well. I don't want to drink it. It's bitter."

Chu Mingzheng still insisted: "What are you standing there for? Go get the candied fruit!"

"Yes!" Ruying glanced at the princess and hurriedly brought the candied fruit.

Lu Mingyang stared blankly as Chu Mingzheng fed her candied fruit and then spoonfuls of medicine. The bitter-sweet taste was heartbreaking.

Because His Highness and the Princess woke up in the bathhouse and lacked clothes and other belongings, many people were alarmed that morning.

Mudan, who had originally tried to keep it a secret, could no longer conceal it. Qin Miao hurried to the bathhouse, but it was already deserted. A maid was gathering the scattered clothing by the pool, where men and women were mingling.

She didn't know what Brother Zheng was wearing yesterday, but she knew what Lu Mingyang was wearing.

Qin Miao missed a step and almost slipped.

Mudan hurriedly supported him and said soothingly, "Your Highness must have been bathing here last night, and she used her seductive tricks to seduce Your Highness."

"Impossible!" Qin Miao interrupted sharply: "Brother Zheng told me that he wouldn't do that."

"Yes, yes, yes, I was wrong."

"Then why are their clothes together?"

Qin Miao turned her head, looking confused.

peony:"……"

She didn't know how to answer, so she stopped the maid who was leaving with the clothes and changed the subject: "Where are His Highness and the Princess?"

The maid said, "His Highness and the Princess have gone to Shoukang Palace."

"How is that possible? Brother Zheng always takes me with him when he goes to Shoukang Palace." Qin Miao lost her composure again.

The maid knelt down in fear: "Maybe I heard it wrong, I don't know."

Mudan supported Qin Miao and stopped her from losing her composure: "Miss, if you have anything to say, let's go back to the house and talk."

The maid ran back to the laundry room, her fear disappeared, and she started gossiping with her sisters.

"Hey, didn't you see that? The concubine broke into the bathhouse. She was simply a mad woman. She didn't behave like a lady from a noble family at all."

"She's just a concubine, yet she's controlling who the prince sleeps with. Look how capable she is."

"That's right, even though she keeps saying that the Queen Mother is my aunt, I can't send a man to her bed!"

Everyone laughed together. Huan Jin, who was hiding in the corner washing clothes, stopped washing clothes. He walked back to the room silently, took out the things under the kang and walked towards the east warm room.

Now that Concubine Song has fallen, she must find another backer.

In the East Warm Pavilion, Qin Miao, who had been throwing things around in a tantrum for a long time before calming down, looked at the medicine residue spread out on the table, his eyes blazing with fire: "What do you say this is?"

Huan Jin emphasized again, "I've had the contraceptive soup tested by a doctor. The princess drinks it every day, so it's safe."

"Every day?" Qin Miao stood up by supporting herself on the table.

Seeing that Qin Miao was about to lose her composure again, the nanny hurriedly signaled Mudan to help Qin Miao in and interrogate her alone.

Not long after, the wet nurse came in. Qin Miao cried and threw herself into her arms, crying, "Nanny, Brother Zheng told me that he wanted to observe the mourning period and he wouldn't touch Lu Mingyang."

But the evidence was irrefutable, and no matter how much she cried, she could no longer deceive herself.

"She was so busy seducing Brother Zheng, how could she have drunk the contraceptive soup? Yes, Brother Zheng must have tricked her into drinking it. He was afraid she would complain to His Majesty, so he had to consummate the marriage with her. Brother Zheng never considered her his own."

"Young lady, wake up!" The nurse interrupted Qin Miao and reminded her, "None of that matters. The important thing is that the princess is finished."

Qin Miao looked up in a daze.

……

Chengyang Marquis Mansion,

Lu Mingze was practicing martial arts in front of Shuyun Pavilion. When he turned back to stab, he saw Chu Yueling. Even though he had promised his sister to see Ling'er, he still subconsciously avoided her when he saw her.

Chu Yueling chased after him, blocked his way, and asked aggrievedly: "Brother Zhou, why are you ignoring me?"

Lu Mingze spoke with difficulty: "Princess, he approached you with a purpose from the beginning, to deceive you. He is not worthy of your sincerity, please forget him!"

Chu Yueling was anxious: "What did you lie to me about? I haven't asked you about those things, so you don't have to tell me. It's enough for me to know that you are my brother Zhou. Or do you not like me anymore now that you have relatives?"

Lu Mingze panicked, "When did I say I liked the princess?"

"Have you forgotten? You said you would protect me as long as you were alive! My second brother said that when a man tells a woman he will protect her, it means he loves her."

The little girl had a look of innocent confidence on her face, which made it impossible for anyone who wanted to explain to start.

Suddenly, Chu Yueling stood on tiptoe and kissed the ugly scar on his face.

Chu Mingzheng, who was hiding at the base of the wall and peeking, was furious and wanted to step forward, but Lu Mingyang quickly stopped him, "What are you doing?"

"He took advantage of my sister."

Lu Mingyang reminded: "Who is taking advantage of whom? Look carefully."

Chu Mingzheng wilted.

Lu Mingyang became happier the more he looked at her, and poked his face: "My Ling'er has good taste, much better than some people's."

"My medicine!"

"What's the ghost's name?"

Lu Mingyang followed his gaze and saw Chu Yueling throwing away the medicine he had given her.

Lu Mingyang was also a little angry at this point: "You men, you clearly can't make your own decisions, but you still insist on trying. What are you trying for? If you try and then cry, you still have to comfort your daughter yourself. Isn't that a waste of effort?"

Sure enough, Lu Mingze picked up the medicine and clumsily wiped the little girl's tears. Chu Yueling took out the mask from her arms, put it on Lu Mingze, and smiled happily.

Lu Mingyang turned around and leaned against the wall, sighing, "It's done!"

Being a little far away and unable to hear the voice, Chu Mingzheng asked curiously, "What did you tell him?"

Lu Mingyang hooked his hand, "I'll tell my third brother to persuade Ling'er to return to Jinyang to get married. After my third brother finishes mourning, he will go and propose marriage."

Chu Mingzheng asked anxiously, "Why are you lying?"

Lu Mingyang was unhappy. "How did I lie? My third brother is a martial arts master and a handsome man, but he is not worthy of your sister."

"Okay, okay," Chu Mingzheng was helpless with Chu Yueling. "Let's trick her back first. I'll write a letter and ask Ah Xing to keep a close eye on her and not come back again."

After dinner, Lu Mingyang said, "Ling'er, let's go. We'll take you back to the palace."

Chu Yueling shyly looked at the man beside her. They had to leave for Jinyang early tomorrow morning, and she wanted to spend more time with him. Lu Mingze said, "You two go back first. I'll take the princess back."

"Alright then!" Lu Mingyang grabbed the reluctant Chu Mingzheng and pushed him away. Having drunk a bit of wine and feeling a bit sleepy, Lu Mingyang leaned against Chu Mingzheng in the carriage and drifted off to sleep.

At the Ningyuan Palace, the carriage slowly stopped and Chu Mingzheng picked up Lu Mingyang and got off the carriage.

Mudan, who was guarding the door, stepped forward and saluted: "Your Highness, the Concubine was feeling a little unwell when she woke up this morning and kept thinking about you. Please go and see her!"
