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

Chapter 203 How to Feed Medicine

"This is the brilliance of Prince Ningyuan," Song Wei also laughed. "Even though he is clearly seeking profit for himself, he still maintains a righteous attitude, dedicated to his country and his people. This is admirable. Look, he only said a few words, and Uncle Lu obeyed obediently."

"Song Wei, what do you mean by saying these words to my third brother?" Lu Mingyang walked over angrily, "Are you trying to tell my third brother that the culprit who killed my father and second brother is King Ningyuan?"

"You're still trying so hard to sow discord between my Lu family and Prince Ningyuan while you're in prison."

"I'm telling you, my father is a great hero. He has his own judgment on what he can and can't do. There's no need for you to comment on his behavior."

"Yang'er!" Song Wei's eyes were filled with pain. "I've been so good to you, why did you let him be bewitched and leave me?"

Lu Mingyang was also amused by him. "Song Wei, my second brother is my second brother, and I am me. We have never belonged to you, so how can I leave you?"

The brain is sick.

"Third brother, let's go. Don't waste time talking to him." To be honest, Lu Mingyang was really worried. After hearing those words, his third brother started to have wild thoughts and hurriedly pulled him away.

In the darkness, the small, heroic figure held high, exuding a unique fighting spirit. Chu Mingzheng, who was waiting halfway, waited for Lu Mingze to pass by. He couldn't help but hug him and asked with a smile, "Are you meeting your lover?"

"What are you talking about!" Lu Mingyang really wanted to slap him to the ground and warned him seriously: "Behave yourself in front of my brothers and sisters."

Chu Mingzheng turned his head and said, "I am not more honest than that person, am I?"

Indeed, Shen Yan looked honest, but he was actually quite cunning. Lu Mingyang asked, "How is he?"

Chu Mingzheng laughed and said, "I've said so many sweet words, and you're still talking!"

This guy, his life or death is uncertain, and he's still here making sarcastic remarks. Lu Mingyang patted him and walked towards the cell.

The jailer prepared the medicine and brought it over, but Shen Yan's body had already started to twitch and he couldn't take it in. Leng Lingfeng held the medicine bowl, not knowing what to do.

Chu Mingzheng said: "Pour it in!"

Leng Lingfeng said anxiously: "I don't know how to pour it in! I mixed the dosage according to the toxicity. If you spill it, it will be useless."

"You can't make an extra bowl!"

"He's still boiling!" Leng Lingfeng was speechless about this troublemaker. He explained with disdain, "The antidote is highly toxic. If you give him one more bowl, he'll be crippled if not dead."

Chu Mingzheng looked at him quietly.

Leng Lingfeng felt uneasy: "What do you want to do?"

Chu Mingzheng said: "Feed it with your mouth."

"I'm a grown man!" Leng Lingfeng felt sick when he heard it, "Why don't you feed me with your mouth?"

"I'm not a grown man!" Chu Mingzheng urged: "Hurry up, you're the doctor, if you don't feed him, who will?"

"Stop arguing, I'll feed him." Lu Mingyang took the antidote, glanced at the two of them with disdain, and said to Lu Mingyuan, "Eldest sister, help me lift him up."

Seeing that his wife was about to do something serious, Chu Mingzheng quickly snatched the medicine bowl and said, "You can't!"

"Saving people is no problem." Lu Mingyang reached out to grab it, but Chu Mingzheng stopped him and handed the medicine bowl to Leng Lingfeng.

"I'll do it!" Leng Lingfeng reluctantly took the medicine bowl, half-knelt down, lifted Shen Yan's head, opened his mouth, then took a mouthful of medicine and kissed him with a fearless attitude.

"Tsk, he bit me." Leng Lingfeng covered his mouth in grievance. If the medicine seeped into the wound, he would also be poisoned, okay?

Lu Mingyuan helped Shen Yan lean against the wall and held the medicine bowl out to him. "Shen Zhijie, I'm Lu Mingyuan. If you drink this wedding wine, I'll be your wife."

As if it were a panacea, Shen Yan miraculously opened his eyes and slowly raised his frail hands. Their fingertips touched, and Lu Mingyuan supported his hands and fed him the antidote.

Clean and pure, not a drop spilled.

Leng Lingfeng looked at this scene, then looked at the couple holding hands beside him, and the corners of his mouth that were bitten felt numb.

After Shen Yan drank the medicine, his convulsions gradually subsided. Leng Lingfeng said, "If he doesn't pass out within three hours, he should be fine."

Lu Mingyuan said, "Yang'er, you guys send him back. I'll stay."

Leng Lingfeng said: "He can't sleep. You should talk to him. It should feel better. You talk and he listens."

Lu Mingyuan's expression didn't change much as he said calmly, "Then you guys go back!"

"Okay then!" Lu Mingyang took Chu Mingzheng's arm and left. When they reached the gate of Dali Temple, she looked at Lu Mingze and said, "Third brother, it's getting dark, be careful!"

"You too!" Lu Mingze nodded slightly and rode away.

Chu Mingzheng helped Lu Mingyang into the carriage. A distant row of carriages came galloping towards them. Those who were closer realized they were from the palace. Eunuch Su hurriedly jumped out, followed by the imperial physician. Half the entire Imperial Hospital had arrived.

"Your Highness, why are you here?" Seeing Chu Mingzheng, Eunuch Su first invited the imperial physician in before speaking.

"Send the Marquis of Chengyang back." Chu Mingzheng took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Eunuch Su. "Shen Yan wrote this letter to His Majesty."

"Great!" Eunuch Su's nose and tears flowed down his cheeks. "With this, Your Majesty can rest assured."

I wonder how mad the emperor must have been when he heard the news of Shen Yan's suicide. Lu Mingyang thought about it and laughed out loud: "Your Highness, why is the emperor so afraid of Shen Yan?"

Chu Mingzheng closed the car window tightly and laughed, "Emperors are all afraid of this kind of person. He's not greedy for money or lustful, he's single-minded, and he's not afraid of death. You could say he doesn't ask for anything, he just stares at whether you're a good emperor. It would be uncomfortable for anyone."

"What about you?" Lu Mingyang asked back.

Chu Mingzheng smiled.

Lu Mingyang curled his lips. "I think even an emperor shouldn't care too much about reputation. Some people, who have absolutely no talent, try to gain a good reputation as a scholar-official by finding all sorts of ways to antagonize the emperor. As if not fearing the emperor makes one a good official. People like this, being praised by scholars and favored by the emperor, is truly not a blessing for the common people."

Chu Mingzheng's eyes lit up: "My wife sees things clearly."

……

Shen Yan's suicide caused ripples in the court. The punishment of Lu Mingyuan could not be delayed any longer, so the emperor summoned the cabinet and the three courts for a joint trial.

Lu Mingze came to Ningyuan Palace to wait for news.

"Where is your highness?"

"He went to Shoukang Palace to see Ling'er, and it was a good opportunity to find out about Concubine Song's situation in the harem."

Lu Mingyang poured more tea and noticed the flash of sadness in Lu Mingze's eyes. He paused and said, "Third brother, we haven't told Ling'er about you yet. When are you going to tell her?"

"Wait a little longer, let's talk about it after my eldest sister comes home!" Lu Mingze lowered his head to drink tea, chewing the petals and leaves together. The bitterness made him numb. "Fourth sister, if I die, you tell..."

"Third brother, don't talk nonsense." Lu Mingyang interrupted him hastily: "Your Highness will definitely find a way."

Lu Mingze asked, "You seem to trust him very much."
