Chapter 220 The Sin of Losing One's Head
Xing Chuxue washed very slowly. Thinking of what would happen next, she couldn't help blushing and her heart beating fast.
A maid came in from the outer room to serve, holding a small white porcelain bottle in her hand.
"Princess, this is what the prince asked me to bring to you. It can promote blood circulation and dissipate blood stasis. I will apply the medicine to you."
When the ointment was applied to the palm of her hand, she felt a cool and comfortable sensation, and Xing Chuxue's heart also felt soothed.
Thinking of the big bowl of bitter and smelly medicine that Xiao Yanheng had just drunk, Xing Chuxue asked tentatively.
"Does Your Majesty need to take medicine every day?"
This was not a secret, the maid nodded truthfully.
"What is the prince's illness?"
The maid shook her head, "This servant dare not pry into the prince's condition."
"Who is that Mr. Qi?"
"Mr. Qi is the doctor the prince hired from outside to take care of the prince's health."
Xing Chuxue nodded thoughtfully.
Xiao Baozhu said that he had been suffering from a weakness since his mother's womb, and now it seems that it is indeed true.
But from the way she looked at him, Xiao Yanheng didn't seem to be very sick.
Xing Chuxue was thinking about all sorts of things, and the maid had already helped her put on her clothes.
When she came out of the bathroom, she saw Xiao Yanheng half-leaning on the big red wedding bed, his black hair loose, his pajamas loose and half-covering him. The scene was simply vivid.
In his hands, he was playing with her embroidered shoes.
She had a pair of small jade feet, smaller than most people's. The embroidered shoes looked even smaller in his hands, like a child's.
Seeing this, Xing Chuxue's feet, which were wearing silk shoes, curled up in an instant, and an inexplicable feeling of shame swept over her body.
Xiao Yanheng turned around, his eyes inadvertently sweeping over her feet, his eyes darkening a little.
He said lazily, "Princess, it's time to go to bed."
Any woman would be taught about sex before getting married, and Xing Chuxue was no exception.
Originally, she regarded it as a task that had to be completed and was very calm about it.
But now, she had already been bewitched by this man. Her heartbeat was completely disordered before it even started. She had completely forgotten what the nanny had taught her about how to serve. She could only let the man control her with her whole body stiff.
"Relax, don't be afraid."
The man's voice sounded in her ears, with a tender and lingering tone.
Xing Chuxue's breathing became more disordered, but she mustered up the courage to climb up his neck and offer her lips to him.
May is usually the coolest and most comfortable time of the year, but tonight it is extremely hot and humid.
Beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down and mixed with her tears. Her feet were tense and her toes were curled up. She wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to escape.
Her voice was hoarse from crying, and she sobbed until the second half of the night when she finally calmed down.
Before she went to sleep, she had only one thought: Isn't this man born weak and taking medicine every day? How can he still be so strong?
At this time, the Xing family was in dire straits.
Lu Zhiran and a few others worked together to kidnap Xing Chuying and bring her back to the Xing family.
Xing Shijie and Yuan came over after hearing the news, and when they saw their daughter in such a miserable state, their faces suddenly changed drastically with shock.
Yuan was shocked, angry, and a little flustered. "You, what are you doing? Why are you treating my daughter like this?"
She hurriedly untied the restraints on Xing Chuying and took the handkerchief out of her mouth.
Xing Chuying immediately threw herself into her arms and burst into tears.
Xing Shijie also had an angry look on his face, but because of the two people in front of him, one was a princess of the current dynasty, and the other had done favors for the Xing family, he did not curse.
"Ninth Princess, Princess Pingle, I wonder how I have offended you to deserve such treatment."
Lu Zhiran had been observing Yuan's expression and reaction. In addition to anxiety and anger, there was also an unconcealable nervousness and panic on her face.
It seems that she really knows about it!
This mother and daughter are really bold.
Xiao Baozhu snorted coldly, "Master Xing, you might as well ask your good daughter what she has done first!"
Xing Chuying's crying paused slightly, and a hint of guilt flashed across her eyes.
Xing Shijie looked at Xing Chuying in confusion, "Ying'er, what trouble have you gotten yourself into?"
While crying, Xing Chuying secretly hugged Yuan tighter.
Yuan's eyes flickered, but she spoke in support of Xing Chuying.
"Ying'er is a very calm and composed person who knows when to advance and when to retreat. How could she have gotten into trouble? There must have been some misunderstanding."
Lu Zhiran said calmly, "Miss Xing, since you don't speak up, don't blame us for not showing you any mercy."
Xing Chuying buried her head in Yuan's arms and shuddered violently.
Lu Zhiran gestured to Shuanghua, and Shuanghua told the whole story expressionlessly, leaving Xing Shijie dumbfounded.
This, this is a serious crime punishable by death, how dare she do it?
He shook his head repeatedly, "How is this possible? How could Ying'er do such a ridiculous thing? This is impossible!"
This daughter has always been calm and sensible, and it is impossible for her to do such a ridiculous thing.
Xing Chuying hugged Yuan even tighter, as if she was grabbing a life-saving straw, and her body began to tremble.
She was scared and she knew she was wrong. Now, only her mother could save her.
Yuan is regretting it now. If she had known that the matter would be exposed, she would never have agreed to this ridiculous decision.
At the beginning, it was Xing Chuying who took the initiative to ask to learn etiquette with the teaching nanny. Yuan thought that Xing Chuying would get married in the future, and it would always be a good thing for her to learn the etiquette well, so she facilitated this matter.
After that, the two sisters' behavior formed a sharp contrast. Yuan became increasingly dissatisfied with Xing Chuxue, and Xing Chuying always said in front of Yuan, intentionally or unintentionally, that her sister was reckless and not suitable to join the royal family.
After hearing this kind of talk so many times, Yuan became even more dissatisfied with Xing Chuxue.
"My sister is so dull and unintelligent. How can she cope with life in Prince An's Mansion? If only I could take her place, I would be able to earn a good future for the Xing family."
At that time, Yuan Shi didn't understand his intention and just shook her head and sighed, "But the emperor has chosen her, what can I do?"
Xing Chuying finally stopped hiding her intentions. "I look exactly like my sister. If I marry into Prince An's Mansion in her place, no one will find out."
When Yuan heard this, she was shocked.
She immediately shook her head and rejected it. "No, if this is discovered, it will be a serious crime that can cost you your life!"
Xing Chuying pulled Yuan aside and spoke eagerly, "Everyone who has seen us says that we look exactly alike. Apart from those close to us, who else could have noticed?"
"But Xue'er, how could she be willing?"
Xing Chuying showed disdain. "Once my daughter gets married, it's all settled. What can we do if she doesn't want to? If this gets out, she'll be implicated too. She definitely won't dare to do that."
Yuan still shook her head, "Your father will definitely not agree."
Xing Chuying said as a matter of course, "Then just don't let Father know. Even if Father is angry after this is done, he will definitely agree to this as long as I can bring wealth and honor to the Xing family in the future."
Yuan was hesitant at first, but she couldn't resist Xing Chuying's constant nagging and finally agreed.
