The heroine takes revenge on me, I am a sickly girl, I conquer the country and enjoy happiness

Not long after Xiao Churan and his men left, the news spread.

Beating the prince is a serious crime, and it will be of no avail even if Xiao Churan intends to be partial to him.

Someone from the palace quickly came and took Jiang Shuo away.

Because the incident happened in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, Lu Jianzhang could not be free from involvement, so he quickly changed into his official uniform and went before His Majesty to plead guilty.

In the Zhaoqing Palace, Xiao Churan and Jiang Shuo were sitting and kneeling respectively.

Behind the screen, Emperor Mingde was bent over his desk reviewing memorials and never glanced at the two of them.

As soon as Lu Jianzhang entered the hall, he kowtowed and bowed:

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live the Emperor. I have come to apologize for my crime!"

"Oh, what's wrong with that?"

Emperor Mingde raised his head and cast a glance towards the palace.

This emperor, who had defeated many of his brothers and forced his father to die with hatred, wore a plain cross-collared straight-legged robe with auspicious cloud patterns. His waist was tied with a light silk ribbon, and he wore a black coat embroidered with unicorn and dragon patterns on the outside.

He was wearing the simplest casual clothes, and had taken off the imperial crown and the golden hairpin that secured his hair. His black hair spread out from the top of his head and hung down to his waist.

Because of the screen blocking his view, he was not wearing the golden mask, revealing his pale face that had not seen the sun for a long time, and the red birthmark under the corner of his eye that looked like a hibiscus flower.

No one dared to laugh at him, and all those who had shown strange expressions had grass growing on their graves.

Although Emperor Mingde seems easy-going, his thoughts are actually more unpredictable.

Lu Jianzhang carefully explained the cause, process and result of the incident, not daring to hide anything.

"…Your Majesty, I was not hospitable and did not comfort the Sixth Prince and Crown Prince Jiang immediately. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Mingde stared at Lu Jianzhang below and slowly traced the words on the memorial with his red pen.

Suddenly said:

"Lord Lu, I heard from Ji Ruyang that the second young lady is on the verge of death?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Lu Jianzhang knelt on the ground, forcibly suppressing his grief, and said with tears streaming down his face, "Doctor Jing said that Shuang'er was determined to die and refused to wake up..."

Eunuch Wang came in from outside and whispered in Emperor Mingde's ear:

"Your Majesty, the imperial physician has examined the Sixth Prince's injuries. The superficial injuries seem serious but they don't have much impact. The main problem is the old injury to the ribs, which requires some time to heal."

"Ah."

Emperor Mingde nodded and said in a low voice:

"It's actually the Sixth Prince's fault. If it weren't for the Second Miss's poor health, she might have been the Sixth Imperial Concubine.

Now that the wife has been decided and the concubine has been married, it is really inappropriate to rashly disturb a seriously ill person.

However, the beating of the prince by Ningguo Duke Jiang Shuo was a violation of the rules and a disrespect for the royal family, which was an unforgivable crime. He was now ordered to be beaten with 20 strokes of the cane and then to apologize to the Sixth Prince.

As for the Sixth Prince, I will have Imperial Concubine Li take good care of him during his recovery and will not disturb Lord Lu from enjoying the father-daughter relationship."

Jiang Shuo and Lu Jianzhang bowed down:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

……

Jiang Shuo had a good physique. He could still walk after being beaten with twenty sticks. Although he needed someone to support him, he was still grimacing.

After lying on the bed for a long time, when he heard that Xiao Hengguang had woken up, he hurriedly called Jiang Wen to send him to the outside of the Sixth Prince's Mansion.

It was already evening, a cold wind was blowing, and there was still scattered snow on the ground.

After Jiang Shuo was helped off the carriage, he took off his shirt to reveal his strong muscles, and knelt outside the gate with a dark brown bramble on his back.

"Jiang Shuo from the Ningguo Mansion has come to apologize for his crime. Please open the door, Your Highness!"

"Jiang Shuo from the Ningguo Mansion has come to apologize for his crime. Please open the door, Your Highness!"

"Jiang Shuo from the Ningguo Mansion has come to apologize for his crime. Please open the door, Your Highness!"

He concentrated his energy into his dantian and shouted three times in a row, each time louder than the last. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it sounded like a huge bell.

In the main courtyard, Xiao Hengguang, who was being served medicine by Feng Zhuzhu, choked and overturned the medicine bowl in anger.

"Ah! Your Highness, what are you doing? You might hurt the child!"

Feng Zhuzhu protected her belly and screamed while dodging. Her piercing voice made Xiao Hengguang's head ache.

He pressed his brows hard and said angrily:

"Get out!"

"Okay, then Your Highness, take a good rest. I will come to see you tomorrow."

Feng Zhuzhu strode away with her entourage.

Xiao Hengguang leaned on the edge of the bed and asked through gritted teeth:

"What's going on outside?"

The attendant Liu Feng said:

"Your Highness, it is Prince Jiang from the Ningguo Mansion. He has come to you to apologize for his crime as ordered by Your Majesty."

"Let him go!"

"But Your Highness, Prince Jiang's coming here is His Majesty's order..."

"Don't mention that reckless man to me!"

Xiao Hengguang's face looked very ugly, and the veins on his hands that were supporting the edge of the bed were bulging. If Jiang Shuo were in front of him, he would definitely stab him.

Outside the mansion, Prince Jiang, who was turned away, didn't care at all.

Some guys came out from the nearby mansion to watch the show for their master. Jiang Shuo smiled with his big white teeth and kept clasping his fists to them.

"I am Jiang Shuo from the Ningguo Mansion. I have come to the Sixth Prince to apologize for my crime in compliance with His Majesty's order. Please excuse my embarrassment!"

"It's okay, it's okay. I've been at the border for many years and I'm used to the wind, sand, rain and snow. This little bit of cold is really nothing!"

"Well! After all, I was at fault first. It doesn't matter if you wait a little longer. Let's go back and eat!"

"..."

Jiang Wen stood beside the carriage with his mouth twitching.

After thinking about it, he stepped forward and advised:

"Sir, the Sixth Prince doesn't want to see you. How about we go back?"

Jiang Shuo hissed and turned to look at him, "Go back? What are you going to do?

Beating a prince is a serious crime. His Majesty only gave your son twenty lashes of the cane and let me take the blame.

Go back? I have knelt for nothing for so long. If the news gets to the court, I'll be surprised if the civil servants don't try their best to impeach me!

Maybe, all the achievements I have made through fighting bloody battles will be wiped out!"

"It can't be that serious, right?"

"You underestimated those guys! They said black things to white people! What's more, beating the prince is a handle in itself."

"Well... at least put on your clothes?"

Jiang Wen looked conflicted, and Jiang Shuo was choked by him and sneezed at the same time.

"You don't understand. I want Xiao Hengguang to know the difference between people!"

Prince Jiang rubbed his nose and continued to be stubborn.

But in the end, he still stretched out his hand reluctantly, "Put your clothes on me, ahem... my butt is injured and it hurts from the cold."

Jiang Wen: “…”

The lights lit up one by one, and the orange light formed a unique Milky Way on earth.

Jiang Shuo's nose was running due to the cold and his skin turned blue and purple.

The door finally opened.

"Prince Jiang, please come in."

Jiang Shuo rubbed his nose hard with a handkerchief, endured the cold, and walked past the butler with his chin held high.

That look seemed to say, "Your Highness is just a pretty boy! Humph!"

A real man is never afraid of the cold!

After apologizing and returning to the Ningguo Mansion, Jiang Shuo had successfully caught a cold.

He lay on the bed, twisting his nose, and asked Jiang Wen to be gentler when applying medicine.

“It hurts so much!”

Jiang Wen muttered:

"If you know it hurts, why did you start it earlier?"

"He dares to bully Sister Shuang, so why can't I take action?"

"Why does the prince like the second lady so much? She hasn't replied to any of your letters in these years."

"You don't understand! Humph!"

Prince Jiang lay down and became autistic.
