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

Chapter 298 The murderer behind the scenes

With Jin Yiluo's departure, the capital city returned to its former appearance, but it was not the same. Everyone's life was moving forward.

There was a plague in Yunzhong, and Shen Yan, who was far away in Longxi, was transferred to Yunzhong as the prefect. This was the result of his offense against the emperor. There would always be harder, more difficult and more dangerous tasks waiting for him.

After Leng Lingfeng came to say goodbye to Lu Mingyang, he went to the clouds to find his master to cure the plague in the city together.

Lu Mingze was appointed as the Light Cavalry Commander and continued to handle military affairs every day.

The most leisurely person is Lu Mingyang.

The golden seal of Princess Ningyuan returned to her hands again, but Chu Mingzheng never took her back to the palace.

Seeing his second sister's morning sickness becoming more and more serious, Yang Nianshu complained, "Why hasn't His Highness come to take you back yet?"

"You think I'm delaying you from going to the military camp? If I go back to the palace, you'll have a legitimate reason not to take care of me, right?" Lu Mingyang smiled and drove him away: "Get out, get out, I have someone to take care of me, I don't need you."

"Miss Nian'er, we can take good care of the fourth lady, so you can go ahead and get busy." Ruying and Rushu assured.

Yang Nianshu stamped his feet anxiously. Why did she mean that?

Lu Mingyang looked at the courtyard where spring flowers were blooming, and a smile appeared in the corners of his eyes.

"It should be done soon. It's just a matter of building a wall."

In order to express his anger, Prince Ningyuan divided the Ningyuan Palace into two parts, determined to draw a clear line between himself and Princess Ningyuan, leaving her alone in her empty room and living out her life in solitude.

But in fact, he wanted to take the opportunity to expel Qin Miao. Expelling her was not difficult, but the difficult part was to quietly replace all the confidants around her and forbid them from entering the palace again.

Truly become an island person.

Qin Miao is a dangerous person. Before, she was alone and had to be careful, but now there is two of them, and she does not allow herself to have any accidents.

Chu Mingzheng must have thought the same, so he didn't urge her to go back, and she didn't persuade him to stop. The two of them understood each other tacitly.

Night fell. After taking a bath, Lu Mingyang covered himself with a quilt and half-reclined on the couch, reading a book. There was a light knock on the door.

It’s so light, are you afraid of scaring the children?

Lu Mingyang said angrily, "Which pervert is this!"

"As a husband, I climbed over the wall to meet a beautiful woman under the moonlight, and now I am labeled a scoundrel?" Before she finished speaking, he had already sat down beside her and embraced her in his arms.

Lu Mingyang raised an eyebrow: "Aren't you?"

"Yes!"

If he dared to say no, he would not even be allowed to touch her hand for the whole night. Chu Mingzheng buried his head in her neck and sniffed the woman's body fragrance.

"Yangyang, I suddenly feel that having children is not a good thing."

His neck felt tingling and numb, so Lu Mingyang threw the quilt covering his body towards Chu Mingzheng.

"Go to sleep!" Lu Mingyang got up and left.

Now that she is pregnant, even though he meets her every night, they can only sleep on the same couch and bed.

Chu Mingzheng held her hand pitifully and said, "Cold."

Lu Mingyang looked at the quilt he was holding and asked in confusion, "How can it be cold? I just covered myself with it."

Chu Mingzheng felt even more aggrieved, "It's because you covered it that it's colder."

Cold Heart.

Virtue!

Lu Mingyang rolled his eyes, but seeing how pitiful he was, he leaned over and gently soothed him, "Just bear with it for a few more days. After three months, you'll be fine."

"Really?" Chu Mingzheng held the person on his lap, his eyes as fierce as a wolf's.

Lu Mingyang hurriedly pushed him away, "Not now."

Chu Mingzheng kissed her, his eyes full of stars: "Yangyang, how do you know everything?"

Lu Mingyang blushed suddenly.

Chu Mingzheng liked to see her blush, "You know you can use your hands?"

"Chu Mingzheng!" Lu Mingyang punched him.

Chu Mingzheng picked up the woman on his back, carefully placed her on the couch, and asked, "Let's try it once?"

"Don't even think about it!" Lu Mingyang glared.

Chu Mingzheng had actually been feeling uncomfortable about this matter. "Yangyang, were you married in that world?"

"No!" Lu Mingyang blinked.

"Then how do you know so much?"

"Well," Lu Mingyang said awkwardly, "the lights are off in our dormitory, and the girls like to talk about this. I don't think I should listen, but I'm curious."

Chu Mingzheng was puzzled: "Shouldn't the place where these things are discussed be a brothel?"

"What brothel?" Lu Mingyang was so angry that he hit someone. "Ours is a school, an academy where both men and women study."

"A man and a woman sleeping together?" Chu Mingzheng was furious.

"What do you mean by men and women sleeping together? We sleep together during class, what do you mean by sleeping together?" Lu Mingyang also said, "We study together, so of course men and women sleep separately."

Chu Mingzheng smiled.

Lu Mingyang looked at that smile and felt uncomfortable. It was fine if he had to take care of himself here, but he also had to take care of himself in another world. Who do you think you are?

She regretted answering him honestly and punched him in anger.

Chu Mingzheng held her little hand, his eyes mischievous: "Yangyang, put your knowledge into practice. Try everything you've heard on me."

"do not want!"

"Great..."

“Don’t…haha…”

"Great..."

Someone unethically pressed her funny spot and called her name with an innocent look. Lu Mingyang couldn't stand it anymore and begged for mercy: "Then you are not allowed to take off my clothes."

"You take mine off." Chu Mingzheng agreed immediately.

"Then turn off the lights."

"Troublemaker!" Chu Mingzheng took off Lu Mingyang's earrings and extinguished the red candle.

Lu Mingyang pressed against her chest, groping for the man's clothes. He had often undressed before, but never his underwear. His face flushed with shame, and then his stomach began to feel uncomfortable.

"Chu Mingzheng, my stomach hurts."

"No cheating."

"No!" Lu Mingyang moved a little, more certain, and felt a sinking pain in his stomach. He patted him anxiously: "Turn on the light quickly."

The red candle lit up again, and the two saw blood.

The bloodstains were not as numerous as those of a bloody wound, but they were still terrified. Chu Mingzheng hurriedly sent for a doctor.

Lu Mingyuan rushed over and saw Chu Mingzheng in disheveled clothes. He glared at him with a gloomy face.

Chu Mingzheng avoided his gaze awkwardly.

Lu Mingyang hurriedly grabbed his elder sister's hand and said, "It's none of Your Highness's business. Your Highness didn't do anything."

This explanation was even more embarrassing. Fortunately, the doctor arrived soon.

After checking her pulse, the doctor sighed and said, "Madam, since you are pregnant, how can you use spices containing musk? You have already miscarried."

"What?" Chu Mingzheng was anxious.

The doctor, assuming he didn't know what musk was, began to explain. Lu Mingyang's head was buzzing, and he couldn't hear what he said at all. He looked at Chu Mingzheng in shock and said, "I've never used it."

The doctor was puzzled: "No, judging from the girl's pulse, the musk has already been deposited in her body. It took more than one day to achieve this."

That means someone did it on purpose.

Since it would take more than a day's work, Lu Mingyuan sent people to search the servants' rooms. Finally, a small porcelain bottle containing musk was found under the bed of a cook in the kitchen.

"My dear, the Chengyang Marquis's Mansion has been so kind to me that I would never murder you, Fourth Miss, even if they kill me. But they are threatening me with the lives of my family of five, including my infant son. I dare not do that."

The cook knelt in the courtyard of Xunyang Pavilion and kowtowed.

"Who is the mastermind behind this?" Lu Mingyuan asked while standing in the corridor.

The cook didn't dare say anything. He kowtowed several times, then took out the kitchen knife from his sleeve and cut his neck. Blood gushed out as he lay on the ground, uttering his last words: "I will repay the Marquis of Chengyang in my next life."

Lu Mingyuan looked at Zhu Xin and nodded slightly, then turned and walked into the house: "I am sorry, Your Highness, for not taking good care of Yang'er. I didn't even find out who was behind the murder."

"I found out." Chu Mingzheng held Lu Mingyang's hand without looking up. "He would never dare to say anything even if he died. This proves that the person who ordered him to do so is someone I can't afford to offend."

The only people he couldn't afford to offend were the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, and the Emperor didn't have sufficient motive to kill the child.

"Please, elder sister, take care of Yangyang." Chu Mingzheng got up and left.
