Chapter 256 Marry her for you
Lu Yangyang's eyes widened in surprise.
This is so beautiful!
The nine tails spread out like slender petals, revealing a cunning little fox with distinct features and an air of unrestrained arrogance. The fur is so finely detailed that every single hair is clearly visible, as if it could come to life at any moment and soar into the clouds.
Lu Yangyang couldn't help but pick up the mask. Only when she held it in her hand did she realize that it was as light and thin as a feather, almost weightless. Under the sunlight, it was even somewhat translucent. How was this done! How could there be such exquisite craftsmanship!
Lu Yangyang had received many gifts before, and Madam Lan had given her a lot of jewelry of all kinds, but she had never seen such smooth and exquisite craftsmanship before. However, she recognized at a glance that it was made by the same person as the many masks that the Crown Prince had given her before.
But this time it's clearly more perfect!
"Your Highness, Your Highness, this is so beautiful! Who made this? Can I meet him? It's amazing!" Lu Yangyang's joy was overflowing. She even took off her mask, held it between her fingers, covered half of her face, then moved it up a little to cover her eyes, then moved it back to reveal her eyes, looking as cunning as the little fox she was holding.
The Crown Prince chuckled softly.
Lu Yangyang pressed on, asking, "Your Highness, please tell me quickly, who is it?"
"We'll see each other in the future." The Crown Prince coughed lightly, changing the subject: "I heard you went to the Prince of Qing'an's residence. Did things go well?"
Lu Yangyang put away the little fox mask, put on the one she had worn before, and hugged the box tightly to her chest: "It went quite smoothly. Princess Qing'an is a good person, and the young master is also a very nice person."
"Oh?" the prince asked curiously, "How did it get better?"
Lu Yangyang recounted the words of Prince Zongqi and Princess Consort of Qing'an during that harrowing experience: "So it's true that good people are rewarded. With two sons and a daughter, mother and children are safe and sound, and they will surely be able to turn misfortune into good fortune in the future."
"You are very capable. You helped them. If what you said is true, the Crown Prince of Qing'an and his wife have a very deep relationship. If the wife leaves because of this, it will be a huge blow to the Crown Prince. Because of your help, they are able to have both a son and a daughter and stay together forever," the Crown Prince said softly.
Lu Yangyang was a little smug. "Your Highness, I've realized that what I'm doing is meaningful. If I can save more people, can I change a lot of things?"
The Crown Prince smiled and nodded: "Of course, you have changed a lot."
Lu Yangyang looked at the Crown Prince, her heart suddenly skipped a beat. So if she could save the Crown Prince, wouldn't she be able to change more things?
However, she still has no clue about the Crown Prince's injuries.
And... in the dream, it seemed that the Crown Prince was deposed shortly after Sheng Yunzhu's coming-of-age ceremony. Now that Sheng Yunzhu's coming-of-age ceremony has passed, when exactly was it, and for what reason, that the Crown Prince was deposed?
The matter of deposing the crown prince is too far removed from her life. Not only can she not stop it, but His Highness himself probably would also find it difficult to stop.
The dream circulated that the Crown Prince died of illness on the way to exile. What if His Highness could pull through? If he could pull through and survive, wouldn't there still be a chance?
Lu Yangyang's heart was pounding. She squatted down and looked up at the Crown Prince: "Your Highness, I am sure I can heal your leg."
"Hmm?" The crown prince was slightly taken aback, then suddenly understood the meaning behind her words.
She wanted to tell him that if he could heal his leg, she could change a lot of things.
For example, his fate.
The crown prince couldn't help but raise his hand and place it between her brows. His cool fingertips brushed against her eyebrows and eyes. He couldn't tell her that his fate was not as simple as she imagined.
There is not much time left for him.
But he still nodded slightly, "Mm."
Lu Yangyang planned that after some time, once things were settled with the Crown Prince, she would leave the capital to travel. She had seen many cases in her master's records, but her master told her that to truly break through, she needed to personally see more cases to find better solutions. What she knew now was what she had practiced countless times back in Qinghe Village, but like with the smallpox epidemic, she had simply trusted her aunt without personally testing it, ultimately leading to her taking the risk.
Therefore, as long as she travels further and meets more people, she will surely be able to cure the prince's leg.
"Miss, it's almost time," a maidservant came over to remind her.
Lu Yangyang responded and said to the Crown Prince, "Your Highness, I have a patient I need to see."
"Oh? Who is it?" the crown prince asked.
"It's that Young Master Ming from the Immortal Sound Pavilion. He... is quite ill. I took his consultation fee and gave him a checkup." Lu Yangyang almost blurted out the words she had used to fool Li Duan earlier.
His Highness is so smart, if she lied to him that she had a problem with her throat, he definitely wouldn't believe her.
Let's not talk about it.
The prince gently stroked the silver ring on his finger, paused for a moment, and then said softly, "Go quickly, I have other matters to attend to, so I will return first."
Lu Yangyang nodded, thought for a moment, then happily waved the box at the Crown Prince, saying, "Thank you for the gift, Your Highness. I like it very much."
After she finished speaking, she left with the box in her arms.
……
Back at the East Palace, Eunuch Cao hurried over and whispered in the Crown Prince's ear, "Your Highness, His Majesty has arrived."
The crown prince glanced at the main hall, and after a long while, he spoke in a low voice, "Let's go."
Upon entering the hall, the emperor sat behind a low table, reviewing the memorials on it.
Upon seeing him enter, the emperor laughed. "I heard that A-Que went to find that little girl? Qi Shen and Lady Lan's daughter? This is quite interesting. This play has actually come true. When I heard it, I found it unbelievable. Speaking of this little girl, do you remember her? When she was still in her mother's womb, your mother said that if Lady Lan gave birth to a girl, she would definitely arrange for her to be given to you in advance, so that no other family would snatch away the most beautiful woman in the world."
“Ah Que, come here and tell your father. You’re not young anymore. What are your plans? That girl, she’s reached marriageable age, right? Why don’t I talk to Madam Lan and arrange your marriage? What do you think? Although Madam Lan has left the Duke of Sheng’s mansion, she is still a member of the Lan family. She and your mother were close friends in the past. Her daughter and you are destined to be together.”
"I promised your mother that I would ask for your opinion on your marriage. I have thought about it and haven't found a suitable one. But this young lady is quite interesting. She made great contributions in the Northwest. She has been giving you acupuncture these past two years with good results. She can take care of you in the future."
"I'll have the Imperial Astronomical Bureau choose an auspicious day tomorrow and bring her home for you to marry, okay?"
