She is a heartthrob who wants to live a good life

Chapter 55: The Scheming Princess 12

"Miss, this is a visiting card from Miss Lin."

Chu Mingyue was sitting at the desk copying a calligraphy piece. Hongyu walked slowly to her side, holding the exquisite calligraphy piece in her hand and whispered to her.

"Lin Rongyin?"

Chu Mingyue has actually forgotten about her "good sister" since her rebirth.

She recalled the conversation between Lin Rongyin and someone she heard in the palace that day. It turned out that she had secretly developed feelings for Xiao Chongyu, but had been hiding behind to make herself a target.

Chu Mingyue put down the pen in her hand, raised her hand to take the visiting card, and casually flipped through it to look at it.

Perhaps he realized that he hadn't seen her for a long time and there was no movement, so he finally couldn't sit still anymore.

"Miss, do you want to see Miss Lin?"

Lu Yin asked tentatively: "Isn't it that the Nie family is coming in three days..."

Chu Mingyue threw the post aside casually: "Why not? I miss Rongyin a little."

Seeing Lu Yin showing a disapproving expression, she chuckled: "I really want to see her expression when she plots against me and sees my engagement with the Nie family. It will definitely be exciting."

Luyin and Hongyu looked at each other in surprise: "Miss, have you finally figured it out?"

The smile on Chu Mingyue's lips faded a little: "She made me seriously ill, and I still can't figure it out. I'm really stupid and hopeless."

It was only after Chu Mingyue recovered from her illness that Luyin and Hongyu realized what a bold thing Chu Mingyue had done that day, and they were both terrified.

However, it can be said that the young lady has turned a disaster into a blessing. After the serious illness, she is finally not confused anymore.

The weather has gradually turned cooler recently, and it is the season of clear and cool autumn.

When the Duke of Zhenguo saw that the Emperor had not hinted at granting a marriage again, they hurriedly arranged the marriage with the Nie family.

The two families have already matched their horoscopes, exchanged engagement letters, and even set an auspicious date. In three days, the Nie family will come to formally propose marriage.

Chu Mingyue picked up the pen again and wrote down the names one by one on the paper.

The time for autumn hunting is coming soon. She remembered that Xiao Chongling was seriously injured in the autumn hunting in her previous life.

Originally, a group of nobles were going on an autumn hunt, and there would be no ferocious beasts in the hunting grounds, but for some reason, Xiao Chongling encountered a black bear.

Many of the guards around him were killed or injured, and he himself was bitten on the thigh and arm by a black bear. When he was rescued and brought back to the tent, the bloody scene frightened Chu Mingyue so much that he even had a nightmare at night.

The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. For a long time, the capital was shrouded in a shadow.

However, in the end, they found out that he was related to Duke Zhenguo Chu Jing.

At that time, Chu Mingyue had already been engaged to Xiao Chongyu, and they were just waiting to get married next year. In the eyes of everyone in the court, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and Crown Prince Xiao Chongyu had already been tied together, and there was no need to guess about the motives after finding out this much.

Chu Jing was imprisoned overnight, and the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion was surrounded. Chu Mingyue climbed over the wall in the middle of the night to escape and ask Xiao Chongyu for help, but he refused her entry.

A month later, the situation took a turn for the better. The Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple found out that the mastermind was someone else. Chu Jing was cleared of all charges and looked ten years older when he walked out of the imperial prison.

Thinking about it now, I was so stupid and naive in my previous life. I finally ran away, but went to ask Xiao Chongyu for help.

The emperor already suspected that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was plotting to harm King Jing for the sake of the crown prince. So what would happen even if Xiao Chongyu really met her?

I'm afraid the entire Eastern Palace is being secretly watched by someone, just waiting to catch evidence of their collusion.

Even if Xiao Chongyu could save people, how could he possibly help?

At that time, the Eastern Palace had not been implicated, and the fall of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion did not cause any harm to Xiao Chongyu. He would only be glad that he had gotten rid of a marriage that he was unwilling to enter into.

But Chu Mingyue couldn't think of these things at that time.

She only felt that she and Xiao Chongyu were an engaged couple, and he was her lifelong support, so when she encountered such a thing, she subconsciously wanted to seek his help.

Chu Mingyue shook her head and threw away the unpleasant memories in her mind. This time, she had to rely on herself to help the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion avoid this difficulty.

******************

"His Royal Highness is back!"

Lu Ning reined in his horse at the gate of the East Palace, and the guards hurriedly and laboriously opened the main gate. Xiao Chongyu rode his horse into the gate, jumped off the horse, threw the reins, and strode inside.

Another personal guard, Ji Ming, followed closely behind. Lu Ning handed the horse to his subordinates and followed.

Xiao Chongyu went straight back to the study, and Ji Ming and Lu Ning closed the door after entering.

"How's the arrangement going?"

He sat down on the couch with an expressionless face.

Ji Ming bowed his head and reported: "Everything is ready."

"Your Highness," Lu Ning said worriedly, "This kind of evil animal has no spirituality. What if it really..."

Xiao Chongyu played with the jade ring in his hand, and raised the corner of his mouth sarcastically: "When did you become so soft-hearted?"

"Or do you think I'm too cruel?"

Lu Ning immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Your Highness, I am willing to go through fire and water for you, but this step is too dangerous. It's not too late for you to stop now!"

Xiao Chongyu wiped the jade ring carefully and put it away: "I will never give up halfway."

Ji Ming glanced at Lu Ning, knelt down and said, "Your Highness is wise."

Seeing that Xiao Chongyu still didn't say anything, he continued, "Sooner or later, the princess will find out that compared to the cowardly and incompetent King Jing, His Highness is the truly wise and brave one. The princess needs a man like His Highness to protect her."

Xiao Chongyu was delighted to hear this and finally allowed them to leave.

"Don't offend His Highness with this kind of thing in the future," Ji Ming and Lu Ning walked a long distance away before reminding him in a low voice, "You know His Highness's obsession."

Lu Ning sighed, "Your Highness could have saved his strength and hit the target with one strike. If he did this now, he would be easily exposed."

Wei Yun appeared out of nowhere: "If you don't obey him, you will die before your Highness is exposed."

Ji Ming and Lu Ning said, "Dr. Wei."

Wei Yun waved his hand, his face full of worry: "Go."

Although somewhat puzzled, the two of them quickly retreated.

Wei Yun thought about what happened today, and it was rare for this heartless man to feel sad.

Cheng Feng followed him and was a little confused: "Dr. Wei, why don't you leave?"

Wei Yun paced on the spot for a long time before shaking his head and saying, "You can't tell him about this."

Cheng Feng's expressionless face showed a look of horror: "Doctor Wei, this is related to the princess. If I don't report it, His Highness will know about it..."

"This concerns the princess, and also the great cause of your Highness."

Wei Yun turned around and walked back: "Anyway, this matter must be suppressed, and Xiao Chongyu must not hear a single word!"

Wei Yun walked out several steps, and Cheng Yu also became a little conflicted.

Finally, he made up his mind and left with Wei Yun.

On Dongsheng Street in the capital, a young man in green clothes turned briskly through the alley and walked outside a house.

Manager Chen, who was guarding the house, immediately stepped forward to take the book from his hand and said, "Master Feng is back."

Feng Sheng did not let go, and said gently: "I can do it myself."

Manager Chen nodded repeatedly, turned around and followed Feng Sheng in, closed the door, and asked him what he wanted to eat tonight.

"Just let Madam Li do whatever she wants," Feng Sheng entered the study, "I need to review my lessons, please don't disturb me anymore."

After closing the door, he walked quickly to the table and put down the book in his arms. He then stretched out his slender fingers and touched them one by one. Thinking of the lady he met today, a gentle smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.

Then, he unfolded a blank piece of paper, ground the ink carefully, and leaned over to draw the silhouette of a young girl on the paper stroke by stroke.

The girl was wearing a lush green dress and a jade butterfly hairpin in her hair. Her long black hair was tied into a simple bun, and the rest of her long hair fell around her waist. A jade pendant was faintly visible under her dress.

She held a pen between her green fingertips, her peach blossom eyes staring at the book in front of her, with a playful and lively smile on her beautiful face.
