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

Chapter 217 Reasons for taking medicine

Lu Mingze looked at his sister, feeling angry and distressed. "Why not divorce a man like this? Why let him continue to feed you medicine?"

Lu Mingyang was confused: "What medicine?"

"Aze, what are you talking about?"

Lu Mingyuan rushed over and heard this. She didn't expect her brother to let her divorce without even consulting her, so she quickly pulled him aside.

Lu Mingyang gradually came back to his senses, looked at Chu Mingzheng awkwardly, turned to look at his brother and sister, and was about to speak when Lu Mingze's angry voice was heard.

"If no one wants to marry her, then no one will marry her. I will support her for the rest of her life."

Uh... Lu Mingyang was a little touched after hearing this, but, "Third brother, eldest sister, you...ah..."

Before he finished speaking, Chu Mingzheng took Lu Mingyang's hand and left.

Lu Mingze moved forward again to grab him, but Chu Mingzheng protected Lu Mingyang behind him with his left hand, blocking him with his right. Without a hand, he gradually lost the upper hand. Lu Mingyang suddenly turned around and threw himself at Chu Mingzheng, shouting, "I drank that medicine myself."

Lu Mingze quickly retracted his palm and said anxiously, "Fourth sister, don't be afraid of him."

Lu Mingyang turned around and said awkwardly, "Third brother, I really took the medicine myself. It has nothing to do with him."

Lu Mingyuan suddenly realized something and asked anxiously, "Is that why he hit you?"

The autumn wind blew open Lu Mingyang's collar, revealing the wound on his collarbone, which was swollen from the medicine. Lu Mingze's veins bulged, "You dare to hit her?"

"No, he didn't hit me." The more he explained, the more confusing it became. Lu Mingyang stamped his feet anxiously, his face flushed with embarrassment.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Chu Mingzheng bent down and touched his chest, coughing violently.

Lu Mingyang hurriedly supported him and asked, "Are you hurt?"

"I got hit by a palm, and my ribs hurt!"

"Ah, it won't break, will it?" Lu Mingyang hurriedly helped Chu Mingzheng back to Xunyang Pavilion.

Lu Mingze was about to step forward, but Lu Mingyuan stopped him, "Where are you going? Don't you think you're causing trouble enough?"

"He hit Fourth Sister!"

"No, I'm just kidding." Those injuries were indeed scary at first glance, but upon closer inspection, apart from the collarbone that looked like it had been hit by something heavy, the others were mostly hickeys. Lu Mingyuan tried to fool his brother, but Lu Mingze wouldn't believe it.

"I saw it all!"

"You'll know when you get married." Lu Mingyuan explained awkwardly and lectured, "Do you have any sense of propriety? Do you think you can beat the King of Ningyuan?"

Lu Mingze was stunned for a moment, looking off into the distance. Prince Ningyuan was supported by his sister, looking frail and ready to collapse at any moment. How could a grown man be so pretentious?

Lu Mingze was furious, "He hit me!"

"What are you yelling about? If they have any grudges against each other, I won't forgive you." Lu Mingyuan turned and went to the kitchen to prepare the meal himself.

It was almost time, Lu Mingyuan went to Xunyang Pavilion to invite the two of them to dinner, but he only saw his sister.

"Where is His Highness?" she asked.

Lu Mingyang said, "Let's go."

Lu Mingyuan asked anxiously, "Didn't he say when he would pick you up?"

Lu Mingyang shook his head.

Lu Mingyuan was anxious. "It's all my fault. I took you back without knowing the situation clearly. What should I do now?"

Lu Mingyang held his sister's hand, tears streaming down his face. "Sister, I'm sorry. I've put you in a difficult position."

In fact, she also felt that she was going too far. She didn't want to be a princess anymore, but had to act like one.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Lu Mingyuan hugged her sister. She really couldn't understand why her sister did this, but seeing how sad she was, she didn't provoke her.

After dinner, Lu Mingyang's mood gradually calmed down. Lu Mingyuan helped his sister to bed, "Yang'er, I'll sleep with you tonight, okay?"

Lu Mingyang moved inside.

Lu Mingyuan lay down and gently caressed his sister's belly. "When I went to the palace to pick you up that day, His Highness was unable to attend court, so your affair couldn't be concealed. I didn't expect that he would actually admit to it himself."

Lu Mingyang remained calm: "He did it for his own face."

"Maybe!" Lu Mingyuan didn't try to persuade his sister, but said directly: "Now that Aze is back, King Ningyuan knows everything about our family. If you really don't like him, we can just get a divorce. It's no big deal."

"Eldest sister!" Lu Mingyang interrupted aggrievedly.

Lu Mingyuan smiled and said, "What's wrong? Are you reluctant?"

Lu Mingyang hugged his sister's arm and leaned in. "Sister, have you ever been scared?"

"What are you afraid of?" Lu Mingyuan glanced sideways.

Lu Mingyang said in a deep voice, "At first, I just thought that since Qin Miao was relegated to the position of concubine, he wanted to win over Duke Qin and must want Qin Miao to give birth to a eldest son. Coincidentally, I didn't want to have children either, so we had the best of both worlds. It wasn't until he found out I had taken the medicine that I realized it wasn't that I didn't want to have children, I was just afraid."

At this point, Lu Mingyang stared at the golden hook on the tent, his eyes filled with desolation. "I'm afraid that one day, he will no longer like me. I'm even more afraid that one day, he will be holding his child with another woman, happy and fulfilled. And my child will look at me with longing eyes, asking me why Daddy doesn't like him."

"Yang'er!" Lu Mingyuan hugged his sister tightly, "I can see that His Highness likes you very much."

"Sister, I know he likes me, but liking someone is just a feeling, and it changes in an instant. I can't afford to gamble. He's so powerful, and if he wants to plot against me, I won't be able to resist at all."

"I chose this path myself. I can live and die with him. I can even wait in fear for the day he abandons me. But I can't do that to my child."

"Yang'er, your idea is too extreme." Lu Mingyuan was faintly excited. "He is stronger than you, stands higher than you, and sees farther than you. Doesn't that mean he doesn't deserve love?"

Tears welled up as the words came out.

Lu Mingyang was stunned. "Eldest sister, are you thinking about Chen Hong?"

"No!" Lu Mingyuan wiped away his tears and brought the question back, "Are you planning to just stay in this state with him?"

Lu Mingyang also cried: "I don't know, I don't know."

Lu Mingyuan asked, "Have you ever thought about telling His Highness?"

"What do you mean? Should I ask him to divorce Qin Miao, forbid him to have children with Qin Miao, or should I ask him to promise to be with me forever?" Lu Mingyang said with a smile, "I'm not that bold."

The words were full of sarcasm, but the eyes clearly flashed with anticipation. Yes, every woman in the world longs for a lifelong couple, but my sister married the most unlikely man.

Lu Mingyuan felt distressed and patted his sister gently, "Don't talk about him anymore, go to sleep."

……

When Lu Mingyuan came back to pick up his sister, he didn't let Ruying and Rushu come with him. The next morning, Lu Mingyuan was going to the military camp, so she asked Zhongbo to ask Yang Nian'er to come back and keep her company.

On his way home that night, Lu Mingyuan changed his route and went to the Ningyuan Palace. From a distance, he heard the sound of angry kicking on the door.

"What's going on?" Lu Mingyuan looked at Zheng Hao who was leading the way.
