Chapter 125 I Was Not Careful Enough
This ugly woman was cunning and difficult to deal with. She had never suffered any loss since she married into the Marquis's mansion. If he spoke, the ugly woman would probably take this opportunity to get as much benefit from him as possible.
Everything else would be fine, except for one thing... As long as the ugly woman didn't ask him to touch her, he could consider everything else. In order to heal his legs, he might as well tolerate the ugly woman's domineering behavior.
"As long as you don't have any wishful thinking, I will be merciful and agree to your other requests."
Tan Zhuoyan crossed her arms, feeling that she had understood Liu Mingyue's mind. Although the miracle doctor was powerful, he was just an ordinary citizen with no fame and power.
On the other hand, he is the only legitimate son of the Dingbei Marquisate. The position of the Crown Prince can only be inherited by him, and his Crown Prince Consort will be the future Marquis's wife. Who knows, Liu Mingyue may be more greedy for the power of the Marquisate.
In Tan Zhuoyan's opinion, his position as the Crown Prince's Consort was undoubtedly a coveted title that everyone wanted. Liu Mingyue's eyes swept across the other person's forbearing expression, and she almost wanted to laugh out loud.
Seeing his calm and composed look when he was about to be executed, Liu Mingyue could tell what he was thinking with just her knees.
"I haven't figured out what I want yet. Please give me some time to think about the conditions I proposed. It doesn't take too long, just five days. What do you think?"
Five days is not a long time, and Qin Zhuoyan really wants to cure her leg disease as soon as possible. However, she has been lame for so long, and five days is not too long to wait.
"Remember what you said today. I will wait for your answer in five days. You'd better not think of going back on your words. This is the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion. You are the Marquis's Crown Prince's Consort. Remember your identity."
After agreeing to Liu Mingyue's request for five days, Qin Zhuoyan did not forget to threaten and warn her.
"Your Highness, you are joking. How dare I lie to you? I think it is very uncomfortable for Your Highness to stay here. Please go back."
Liu Mingyue unceremoniously ordered him to leave. Qin Zhuoyan liked to use incense, so if he stayed in the room for a while, the whole room would be filled with his fragrance.
The fragrance wasn't bad, but it came from Tan Zhuoyan, so Liu Mingyue found it disgusting.
"Do you think that I am willing to stay here with you? Don't be so conceited!" Tan Zhuoyan waved her sleeves and snorted coldly, ordering the servants to push her away.
Peanut had quietly picked up the scattered fruits on the ground and said aggrievedly, "Madam, His Highness gets angry every time he comes to see you. Sometimes, I really want to teach him a lesson."
Peanut tightened his grip on the tray. Just like before, Peanut thought it would be better to throw two fruits under the opponent's wheelchair. This way, the wooden wheels would slip and scare him to death!
"Don't worry, he will get his comeuppance soon."
Liu Mingyue glanced at the inedible fruits on the tray, waved her hand in annoyance, and asked Peanut to take them and throw them away.
That night, after midnight, Liu Mingyue had not fallen asleep yet. When Guihua went into the inner room to add lamp oil, she was startled to see Liu Mingyue still with her eyes open on the bed: "Madam? You are still not asleep, is it because of what His Highness said today?"
Liu Mingyue didn't know whether to do so or not, and said blankly: "I was not careful enough."
She turned over, and her entire forehead seemed to be burning hot due to excessive anxiety.
On that day at Zhou's residence, because she didn't know what kind of poison Zhou Qianqian had given her, she asked someone to invite Bai Ziyu in a hurry.
At that time, she was only worried about the poison affecting her internal organs, but she didn't worry about Bai Ziyu's identity being recognized. If Bai Ziyu's identity was nothing to hide, the problem was with Tan Zhuoyan.
Liu Mingyue thought that Zhou Baili would be giving birth in a few months. By that time, she would be able to divorce Tan Zhuoyan, and the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion would have nothing to do with her anymore.
Unexpectedly, after the incident at Zhou Mansion, Tan Zhuoyan noticed Bai Ziyu.
"Madam, in fact, in my opinion, you can use the matter of inviting the miracle doctor to ask for some benefits from the Marquis' Mansion, which will not have much impact on you. However, I am stupid and may have misunderstood what Madam is worried about."
Guihua hung up the hanging curtains, took out some calming incense from the cabinet beside the bed and lit it in the incense burner.
"You would think so, and the prince would think so too. If only it were that simple."
Liu Mingyue covered her forehead with one hand; she really had a headache and a fever.
In her previous life, she naively thought that if she asked Bai Ziyu to heal Tan Zhuoyan's legs, this person's attitude towards her would be softened and he would no longer be rude to her.
Oh, she didn't expect that the other party really didn't treat her harshly, but killed her directly. But after thinking about it carefully, she had to agree to the matter now, whether she agreed or not.
"Madam, don't you want the miracle doctor to heal your highness's leg?" Seeing that her master was not sleepy, Guihua did not urge her to sleep. Instead, she simply sat down in front of the footstool and talked to Liu Mingyue.
"I really didn't want to at first." Liu Mingyue said truthfully.
When Qin Zhuoyan asked about Bai Ziyu, she had already thought about the pros and cons of the matter.
In his previous life, Bai Ziyu tried his best to cure Tan Zhuoyan's legs, but in the end he did not get the gratitude he deserved. Instead, he was killed by Tan Zhuoyan's men. This incident became a thorn in Liu Mingyue's side.
She didn't want Bai Ziyu to take risks again and repeat the mistakes of her previous life, so when Tan Zhuoyan first asked, she didn't think of agreeing. But... Tan Zhuoyan already knew about Bai Ziyu's existence in this life, so it was impossible for her to let it go.
Not to mention that Qin Zhuoyan would not easily let go of Bai Ziyu, who could cure her legs. Just because she knew Bai Ziyu, Qin Zhuoyan would never easily divorce her and let this opportunity slip away.
The more Liu Mingyue thought about it, the angrier she became. She punched the edge of the bed, making a dull thud.
"Madam, are you worried that it will be difficult to divorce His Highness?" Guihua was quick-witted and quickly figured out what her mistress was worried about. She stood up to get the medicine box, took out the plaster and applied it on Liu Mingyue's red finger joints.
"You have always been smart." Liu Mingyue smiled at her, but the smile was a little forced.
She took great pains to make Zhou Baili pregnant with Tan Zhuoyan's child, intending to use the child in her belly to achieve a divorce from the prince.
Now, the plan to use Zhou Baili's unborn child to make something of herself has become a pipe dream.
All the previous efforts were in vain.
"Guihua, I really don't know what to do now. I don't want to get involved with Bai Ziyu. I have troubled him enough with many things before. Many times, favors cannot be repaid with money."
Liu Mingyue took the ointment box from Guihua's hand. Most of the medicine in the medicine box was given by Bai Ziyu.
The plaster applied to the finger joints was cool and suppressed the heat and pain.
Holding the medicine box in her hand, Liu Mingyue's eyes darkened. She had to think of a solution as soon as possible.
After fabricating the controversy between Liu Mingyue and the doctor in front of Tan Zhuoyan, Zhou Baihe thought that Liu Mingyue would be severely punished.
As the Crown Prince's consort, having an affair with another man is a violation of the chastity of a wife. A little slander would confirm her guilt.
