Chapter 43 Who is on top and who is below

Lu Yunyang rested in the palace for another two days and felt much better. However, he did not see Jiang Jiu ask to leave, which made him feel puzzled.

"My lady, you don't want to live in the palace forever, do you? Shouldn't we go back?"

Jiang Jiu had just returned from outside at this time, and felt sad.

"Okay, let's go back."

If I don't go back, things will get messy. When I just entered the door, I saw the governor of Sucheng and his disappointing second son pleading with the prince, but I didn't even see the prince.

Only Gu Chengyan came out to pass on the message, asking him to teach his son well, and not to let him go to jail because the second young master was dying.

What's more, they say that if a prince breaks the law, he is subject to the same punishment as a commoner. Even a prince has to be careful with his words and actions, let alone your child.

The prefect kowtowed and left with gratitude.

Later, Jiang Jiu found out that the dissolute second son had provoked a hot-tempered woman, who reported him. Knowing that reporting to the prefect was useless, she directly blocked the ninth prince's carriage.

The ninth prince was furious and captured the second son of the prefect and beat him half to death. The prefect then found out about it and rushed to rescue him and plead for mercy.

Jiang Jiu lowered her eyes slightly, but she still helped her vent her anger for Lu Yunyang's sake.

Having a backer is useful, but it also comes at the cost of Lu Yunyang's efforts.

But in the blink of an eye, Jiang Jiu regretted it.

"You should stay for a few days, my husband. If we leave, you and the prince... won't be able to see each other often..."

Although this kind of relationship is hard to understand, she still supports it.

Lu Yunyang was stunned: "Do you see each other often?"

"The prince and I..."

Something was not right. Lu Yunyang always felt something was wrong. He stared at Jiang Jiu's eyes in confusion.

"What happened between me and the prince?"

Jiang Jiu was very nervous when he was stared at. His expression was clear as water, but he dodged everywhere, unable to hide his guilty conscience. He had never thought that Lu Yunyang's eyes were so sharp.

She smiled awkwardly: "Nothing, I just think the prince is so nice to you..."

"Hmm..." Lu Yunyang hummed lightly to show his agreement, and made up a reason, "Maybe I'm a more likable person."

Not only is she likable, she is also the apple of the Ninth Prince's eye.

Jiang Jiu: "Then we should stay longer. Otherwise, if you leave, the Ninth Prince will definitely be sad and disappointed."

Huh? Lu Yunyang was puzzled. Did his going there have anything to do with the Ninth Prince?

No, isn't he...

Just as he was about to ask for clarification, he saw Jiang Jiu approaching him with a pair of sparkling big eyes.

Lu Yunyang was confused: "What..."

Yes, this is a modern word, it is normal that he doesn’t understand it.

Jiang Jiu tried to explain with a red face and added some gestures.

Lu Yunyang was frozen in place, his mind was almost in a knot, and suddenly he understood what Jiang Jiu said. His eyes widened and widened again, and he suddenly roared.

"Jiang Jiu...you are so outrageous..."

How dare you say that he has a homosexual fetish? He is an upright man.

Suddenly, her mouth was covered by Jiang Jiu's soft and cool little hand.

"Hush, you and I know this, stop shouting, or everyone will know. If the Ninth Prince finds out, he might chop off my head..."

Lu Yunyang widened his eyes in disbelief and forcefully took Jiang Jiu's hand away.

"Who told you that I..."

Suddenly, Lu Yunyang grabbed Jiang Jiu's wrist and brought him to the bed.

"I want to show you whether I am a traitor or not..."

Jiang Jiu was pushed onto the bed by him. Curiosity outweighed innocence. He had an unrepentant heart and a steel mouth.

"Even if we have something, it can't prove that you and the Ninth Prince are innocent. Maybe you are attracted to both men and women. After all, you are so beautiful..."

How is this possible?

Lu Yunyang was stunned. His movements were too big and pulled the wound, causing him to hiss in pain.

"What's going on in your mind all day?"

Jiang Jiu also felt aggrieved, but he felt that she seemed to be wrong about this matter.

"Could it be that you were unwilling? Were you forced by the Ninth Prince?"

Lu Yunyang's breath was choked, and his head felt buzzing: "You, you..."

Jiang Jiu looked at Lu Yunyang innocently and embarrassedly: "How did I find out?"

"It's because when you were injured, the Ninth Prince was more nervous than any of us. He not only used the doctors in his house, but also asked the guards to donate blood for you."

"That's fine, but after you woke up, he came to see you three times a day. It shows that he really cares about you. If I didn't even have this little bit of understanding, then I would have grown up in vain..."

Lu Yunyang Fu'e, this is what happened, but it is not what she thought. Is it possible that he is the ninth prince, the current emperor's younger brother, the Prince of Qi?

And the one pretending to be King Qi was just his secret guard.

But he didn't want to tell Jiang Jiu his identity.

"go home……"

Lu Yunyang felt that he could not stay in the palace for too long. Who knows what kind of crazy thoughts Jiang Jiu would have if he stayed there for too long.

Besides, staying any longer would definitely not be beneficial for his future actions.

That person has begun to send people to assassinate him openly. Who knows what dangers will arise in the future.

At this moment, the Ninth Prince's Mansion was the most dangerous place, and he didn't want Jiang Jiu to stay there any longer.

Lu Yunyang stood up from the bed angrily, and as if to further verify Jiang Jiu's guess, he actually began to lecture.

"Oh, don't be angry. Although I don't quite understand the relationship between you and the Ninth Prince, I respect your choice. Love has no boundaries. Between men and women, men and men, and women and women, there is no reason to be moved..."

The more Lu Yunyang listened, the angrier he became, and he even laughed in anger.

"So you are quite experienced. You have lived in the county magistrate's mansion for so many years, never leaving the house. Have you ever fallen in love with anyone?"

Moved?

A man in black suddenly appeared in Jiang Jiu's mind. Although he was wearing a mask and covering his eyes, he could still be seen as a very handsome man.

When she was in the most danger, he appeared like a god.

He walked out from the cold and dark night, his eyes were firm and sharp, his movements were smooth and flowing, and he was decisive in killing.

At that moment, her heart was beating like a deer.

Lu Yunyang waited for Jiang Jiu's answer, but when he raised his eyes he found that she was lost in thought.

Yes, if he remembered correctly, Xiao Yimo once said that Jiang Jiu already had someone in his heart.

Could it be that what she is thinking about now?

A sweetheart.

With a cold snort, Lu Yunyang poured himself a cup of tea. On the surface, he remained calm and composed, without showing any clues.

The drooping corners of his mouth and frosty eyes betrayed his heart.

Jiang Jiu came back to his senses and said angrily, "I was talking about you, why are you dragging me into this? After all, we are still husband and wife in name only. It's enough for me to cover up for you. It won't do me any good at all."

Well, even if there is a man she is attracted to, he will probably not bother her anymore after seeing that she is married.

Wait, what's in it for him?

In order to cover up his affair with the Ninth Prince...

Lu Yunyang's eyebrows twitched and his forehead was filled with black lines.

"Pack your things and go home."

Jiang Jiu got up and sorted their bags. Suddenly, Jiang Jiu's face changed. He took out a ring from under the pillow and looked at it carefully again and again.

"Husband? This... this ring is not something we brought with us, right?"
