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

Chapter 130 Give some reaction

The emperor didn't expect him to admit it, so he said calmly, "Since that's the case, I don't want to punish you any further. You will take the twenty strokes of the cane for her, and the execution will take place outside Hanyuan Hall."

"Thank you, Father!"

Chu Mingzheng walked out of Hanyuan Hall, knelt facing south, and stripped to his death. Jade steps, stone walls, the setting sun. At that moment, he felt like an eternal stone tablet between heaven and earth.

The harsh sound of sticks hitting his back made Lu Mingyang feel as if each stick was hitting himself, causing him excruciating pain.

"Your Highness!"

After the caning was over, Lu Mingyang hurried forward and hugged the staggering body.

Under the watchful eyes of the public, the emperor did not want people to say that he was harsh on his stepson, so he asked someone to send him to his bedroom to rest, but Chu Mingzheng refused.

Inside the carriage, Lu Mingyang held Chu Mingzheng in his arms, feeling his body grow colder and colder. He asked curiously, "Your Highness, didn't you take the medicine? Why are you still so cold?"

Chu Mingzheng shuddered and said simply, "I haven't eaten yet."

"Why don't you listen?" Lu Mingyang was anxious.

Chu Mingzheng said hurriedly, "I wasn't disobedient. It was Leng Lingfeng who had never seen a Tianshan Ice Toad before, so he insisted that I endure it for two days so that he could enjoy it for himself."

As he said this, he sneezed again.

"What's so rare about a toad?" Lu Mingyang looked at him with heartache: "Is this how you've been these past few days?"

"No!" Chu Mingzheng shook his head: "He has the medicine, but he forgot to take it when he came out today."

The carriage stopped at the gate of the palace.

Lu Mingyang helped Chu Mingzheng into the courtyard. The eunuch who opened the door hurried forward to support him. Lu Mingyang tried to let go and leave, but suddenly someone grabbed his wrist.

She turned around and saw a pair of deep eyes. In the dark night, she couldn't see the deep meaning in them. She just lowered her head and whispered, "Let me go."

Chu Mingzheng was dissatisfied: "I'm already injured like this, and you're still leaving?"

Lu Mingyang said sourly, "Isn't your cousin at home?"

"I wasn't hurt for her."

Lu Mingyang was speechless after hearing what he said, so she had no choice but to follow the eunuch to send him back to the study. Fortunately, they were only going to the study. If they had gone to Qin Miao's East Warm Pavilion, she really didn't know how to deal with it.

Chu Mingzheng's clothes were already stained red with blood. Lu Mingyang handed him a hot water bottle, sat down beside the bed, and carefully lifted his clothes. The scars on his back, mixed with blood, were hideous and terrifying. She held back her tears and applied medicine to him, feeling angry and distressed, but mostly moved.

"I didn't ask you to save me!" She couldn't help but scold.

Chu Mingzheng listened to her soft sobs, hummed softly, and explained, "His Majesty suspected that I had ordered you, so he simply confirmed it, and he wouldn't have so much trouble."

Lu Mingyang said "Oh". When she thought he was doing it for her, she felt uncomfortable; when she knew he was not doing it for her, she felt a little sad.

"Shh, be gentle." Chu Mingzheng said disdainfully, "How can you hit such a little girl so hard?"

Lu Mingyang was unhappy: "You weren't injured for me, why should I serve you?"

Chu Mingzheng said proudly: "You are my princess, it is your duty to serve me."

It should be your head!

Lu Mingyang really wanted to slap him on the back of the head, but after thinking about it, he replayed the idea in his mind.

"Your Highness!"

"Ok?"

Lu Mingyang asked stubbornly, "I, um, you're like this, aren't you afraid that your cousin will know and feel bad?"

"So I can't let her see my injuries. Hurry up, hurry up."

Does this person really not understand, or is he missing something?

"Soon!" Lu Mingyang replied unhappily, but he couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked, "Your Highness, who is prettier, Miss Qin or the granddaughter of Lord Chen?"

"Not as pretty as you."

Lu Mingyang angrily slapped him on the shoulder and warned him, "You, don't compare me with other women."

"Are you still afraid of losing?" Chu Mingzheng turned his head with a wicked smile on his face.

Is that what she meant? Lu Mingyang's eyes widened speechlessly, and he slapped him again in anger.

Chu Mingzheng sat up, holding the little hand in front of him, and rubbing it nervously, "I'm not comparing you with others. I really think you are the most beautiful."

Lu Mingyang looked at himself in his eyes and suddenly felt sad. Forget it, he clearly has a garden full of spring flowers. You insist on asking him which one he likes. If that's not a problem, then what is it?

Chu Mingzheng couldn't understand the person's reaction. He pinched him gently and reminded him, "Give me some reaction?"

This was the first time he tried to tell a girl his true feelings.

"Why should you be so nosy!" Lu Mingyang pulled his hand away in disdain and said angrily, "From the moment I was born, I knew I was the most beautiful."

"Lu Mingyang, I noticed you were a bit arrogant today. What? Do you think I can't heal you just because I'm injured?"

The warmth in his hand suddenly disappeared. Chu Mingzheng was very unhappy. He reached out and took the angry little girl into his arms, leaned over and kissed her. He didn't talk too much, he just used his mouth!

"Your Highness, you have not endured in vain these few days."

Leng Lingfeng's excited voice came in, and Lu Mingyang hurriedly pushed Chu Mingzheng aside and stood up, straightening his messy clothes. Fortunately, Leng Lingfeng was too excited to notice the strangeness between the two.

He sat down on the edge of the bed, where Lu Mingyang had sat. Chu Mingzheng frowned and pushed him away with two fingers in disgust.

Leng Lingfeng moved his butt back and said excitedly, "The mucus secreted by the Tianshan Ice Toad is indeed very effective for scars."

"really?"

Only after Lu Mingyang spoke did Leng Lingfeng notice her. He quickly stood up and took out a celadon powder box from his arms and handed it to her, "This is what I mixed. Try it!"

Lu Mingyang opened her powder box and gently applied the makeup to the scar on her face. Even if she were ugly, no one would want to have a scar on their face, let alone a half-beautiful one.

"How was it?" she asked.

"How can you tell now?" Leng Lingfeng reminded him, "Use it first, and tell me if it works. Then I can give him the Ice Toad. You don't know, he's been so cold these past two days that he's been crying for help."

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Chu Mingzheng's cough didn't stop Leng Lingfeng from talking in time. Lu Mingyang secretly glanced at Chu Mingzheng and asked in a low voice, "Don't you have medicine?"

"The Warming Sun Pills are made of rare medicinal ingredients and are extremely difficult to refine. How could they withstand what he did? I only fed him one today."

Receiving the knife man's gaze, Leng Lingfeng not only did not restrain himself, but glanced at the wound on his back and asked Lu Mingyang, "Are you not hurt?"

"No!" Lu Mingyang shook his head.

Leng Lingfeng sneered, "I told you it's not too late. I told you to take the blood-vomiting medicine I prepared before going. Why are you in such a hurry? Look at how you got beaten."

"I find it hard." Chu Mingzheng glared at him.

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Lu Mingyang hurriedly said, "I'm leaving first, you guys get busy."

When she reached the door, she turned her head and said, "My face feels much better now. Hurry up and use the Ice Toad on him!"
