Chapter 309 I Want to Give Her My Heart
Lu Yangyang carried all the candlesticks to the shelf on the bed, and the candlelight made the bed exceptionally bright.
She glanced outside, went to the bathroom to fetch a basin of clean water, placed it at the foot of the bed, climbed onto the bed, and carefully lowered the curtains.
Then, with scissors, they cut open the prince's trouser leg, exposing his injured leg.
Nearly three years have passed, and the mottled scars on my legs have long since been replaced by layers of scabs. Because I have been receiving regular acupuncture and massage, my overall condition is still good, and my muscles have not completely atrophied.
Even so, he was almost nothing but skin and bones.
The spot where Lu Yangyang had stabbed him with her dagger had only bled a little, leaving a bright red mark.
Lu Yangyang laid out two rows of gold needles, first sealing several acupoints above his knees, and then almost covering his calves and feet with gold needles, making him look like a hedgehog.
Lu Yangyang glanced at the Crown Prince, who looked at her with gentle eyes but showed no particular reaction.
"Your Highness, I'm about to begin," Lu Yangyang said calmly.
"Hmm." The Crown Prince responded, looking at her with a slight daze. Because she had bathed and changed clothes, she was not wearing a mask, and her small face was full of seriousness and earnestness.
After being treated with the medicine given by Wen Yu, the old scars on her face had faded to faint, cloud-like red marks, spreading out to one side of her eye, below her eye. Before she fully matured, her eyebrows and eyes resembled Madam Lan's, but as she grew older, she became quite different.
Madam Lan also had a bright and beautiful appearance, but her temperament was somewhat gentle and melancholic, as if she carried a faint trace of sorrow.
The similar features on Lu Yangyang's face made her appear strikingly beautiful, yet resolute and calm, as if nothing in this world could shake her determination.
It's like a visible force, steadfast and unstoppable.
never changed.
Lu Yangyang didn't notice the Crown Prince's overly gentle gaze. She started from the area above the Crown Prince's knee where he still had feeling, first removing the needles, then using a razor blade to cut open the skin and insert the gold needles directly into the tendons and nerves, probing little by little, "Your Highness, can you feel anything here?"
"No," the prince replied softly.
She continued to probe, inch by inch, with utmost care, but her hand remained steady, without the slightest deviation or tremor.
As she moved, the hem of her thin trousers, which she had worn after her bath for convenience, was rubbed up, revealing her fair ankles covered in dense, bright red welts.
As the prince watched her examine his meridians inch by inch, he suddenly understood something.
He hadn't seen her these days, but he had been receiving news of her.
Hearing that Yan Yue had locked herself in her room since leaving the capital, not even leaving to eat or drink, Madam Lan went to check on her countless times, only to find that she was not letting anyone disturb her until last night when she finally opened the door.
He originally thought that she locked herself up to analyze the current situation and find a way for them to survive. He never expected that she locked herself up just to find a way to cure him. No, she should have found the way long ago. She used herself as an experiment to ensure that it would work on him and give them a better chance.
The prince's eyes suddenly stung with tears. The dense bloodstains had not yet fully healed, but she remained silent, seemingly unconcerned, and was still worried about the consequences of using this method on him.
This silly girl.
Does she even realize that such devotion can make someone fall for her?
I want to give her my heart.
I'd give my life for her.
A tear silently slid down the corner of his eye and into his temple.
Completely absorbed in her work, Lu Yangyang was oblivious to everything else, still intently inserting the blood-stained gold needles into her meridians, bit by bit. A quarter of an hour passed, then another quarter of an hour, then half an hour...
Half of the bed was covered in the smell of blood, but Lu Yangyang's wrist, which was holding the needle, never trembled.
Finally, in his almost completely numb senses, the prince faintly felt an itchy sensation, like ants gnawing at him, which made him groan involuntarily.
Lu Yangyang looked up in surprise: "Great, we found it!"
Her eyes were full of joy as she excitedly said, "Your Highness, does it hurt? If it hurts, shout louder so I'll know."
Seeing her joyful expression, the prince's heart pounded, and his clenched fists trembled slightly.
Outside the palace gate, Grand Eunuch Feng walked slowly in. Seeing Cao Cheng guarding the door, he smiled and asked, "Has Your Highness retired for the night?"
Cao Cheng hurriedly and respectfully replied, "Reporting to the Grand Eunuch, His Highness and the Crown Princess have already retired for the night."
"His Majesty has ordered me to come and check on His Highness. Please be quiet and don't startle him," said Eunuch Feng softly.
Cao Cheng's lowered eyes trembled slightly, but he still obediently pushed the door open gently.
As Grand Eunuch Feng walked into the inner palace, he could see two figures overlapping on the bed through the screen. The Crown Prince was lying on the bed, and Lu Yangyang was kneeling on top of him. The Crown Prince's muffled moans, both deep and shallow, could be heard from inside the bed curtains.
Cao Cheng, who was following behind Supervisor Feng, looked up in disbelief with wide eyes.
Supervisor Feng was also slightly surprised. He turned his head and saw Cao Cheng's shocked look. He gave Cao Cheng a wink, and the two of them walked out silently.
When they reached the outside of the palace, Cao Cheng's hands trembled as he turned to close the door.
Grand Eunuch Feng couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness said earlier... was that true?"
Cao Cheng nodded absentmindedly: "How could Your Highness dare to deceive His Majesty? However, I suppose the Crown Princess is unaware of the situation, and this matter is indeed difficult to discuss. Your Highness, Your Highness is still a man of vigor and passion."
Supervisor Feng gave a soft "hmm".
"Grand Eunuch..." Cao Cheng hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
"I will report the truth to His Majesty," Grand Eunuch Feng replied, then left with his men.
Cao Cheng watched as Supervisor Feng left and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Inside the palace, neither of them noticed the commotion outside. Lu Yangyang's eyes were filled with excitement, and her brow was already covered in sweat, but she didn't seem to notice. She murmured, "Your Highness, my master told me that although this method is dangerous, there are some rare medicines in ancient books that might be able to alleviate the aftereffects. However, those medicines may grow in ancient forests and are extremely rare. When I have the opportunity in the future, I will gather those medicines and then I will definitely be able to completely cure Your Highness's leg."
"Alright." The prince's voice was hoarse as he looked at her brow, which was soaked with sweat, and his fingers clenched again.
It wasn't until dawn that Lu Yangyang stitched up the incision, cleaned the bloodstains from the prince's legs, and applied ointment.
The weather is hot these days, and to prevent the wound from getting infected, it cannot be bandaged. Fortunately, the wound medicine made by Wen Yu himself has a miraculous effect on wound healing.
After doing all this, Lu Yangyang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She turned to clean the bed, which was already soaked with blood, but the prince stopped her, saying, "Go and wash up. I'll have someone come in and clean up."
Lu Yangyang nodded: "Then I'll be back in a bit."
When Lu Yangyang returned after taking a hot shower and changing her clothes, the bed had already been cleaned up, and even the strong smell of blood had mostly dissipated, leaving only a refreshing incense in the air.
It makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Lu Yangyang relaxed and climbed into bed, only to belatedly realize that she could barely lift her arms and her hands were shaking uncontrollably.
"Ah," Lu Yangyang was a little embarrassed. What was even more embarrassing was that she realized she had actually climbed onto the Crown Prince's bed!
