She is a heartthrob who wants to live a good life

Chapter 44: The Scheming Princess 1

【Original plot introduction】

In her previous life, Chu Mingyue was the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo and could have had a better destiny, but she kept chasing after the unpopular Crown Prince Xiao Chongyu.

In order to marry him, she risked drugging Xiao Chongyu at a palace banquet and deliberately allowed herself to be discovered. Finally, she became Xiao Chongyu's Crown Princess thanks to her father's shameless request for a marriage.

On the wedding day, Xiao Chongyu did not even lift the veil, nor did he step into the bridal chamber.

Chu Mingyue thought that Xiao Chongyu blamed him for framing him, which caused the emperor to become more and more displeased with him and affected his path to the throne.

She begged her father to do his utmost to support Xiao Chongyu to ascend the throne. She thought that all her hard work had paid off, but what she got was not the position of queen, but the order to divorce her.

Before Xiao Chongyu's throne was secure, he braved the great disapproval of the world and forcibly married Princess Shen Weicang of Prince Jing, named her the queen, doted on her in every way, and even made her the only one in the harem.

Only then did Chu Mingyue realize that there was a bright moon in her husband's heart, but it was not her.

She was unwilling, in pain, and resentful. She would rather die than agree to a divorce. Shen Weicang couldn't bear to see her like this, so he persuaded Xiao Chongyu to make her a noble concubine.

But this was another wrong move.

After entering the palace, Chu Mingyue finally understood what true despair was.

Xiao Chongyu never treated her harshly, but he never saw her in his eyes.

She could only watch the man she loved deeply being affectionate with another woman and doing things he had never done with her, and finally died of depression on a cold winter day.

When she opened her eyes again, Chu Mingyue was reborn and returned to the day when she had plotted against Xiao Chongyu at the palace banquet.

This time, she vowed to stay away from Xiao Chongyu. She didn't want a man who couldn't keep her warm!

But on the day Xiao Chongyu ascended the throne, he offered the position of queen with both hands, and knelt down with red eyes to beg her: "Mingyue, in this life and the past, I have only loved you!"

***************

"Chu Mingyue, you are so shameless!"

While her consciousness was becoming fuzzy, a huge force knocked Chu Mingyue over. The pain in her body made her open her eyes in a daze.

What came into view was the blue bed curtains. She moved her arms slightly and then she realized that she was lying on the ground with her arms resting on the footstool beside the bed, which hurt.

Before she could react, a familiar voice rang in her ears: "While I am not in the mood to settle accounts with you personally, get out now!"

Chu Mingyue was almost awake. She forced herself to sit up from the ground and stared blankly at the disheveled man on the bed.

"Xiao Chongyu?"

The outer robe that symbolized Xiao Chongyu's status as a crown prince had become somewhat disheveled, and the waistband was loose, losing its usual majesty.

His state at this moment was not as intimidating as usual. His cheeks and the corners of his eyes were flushed, his lips were also bright red and attractive, his collar was torn in two, and his eyes, which were as cold as stars, were misty.

Perhaps it was this appearance that diluted Chu Mingyue's fear, so she climbed onto the bed where Xiao Chongyu was resting with courage that she didn't know where it came from.

Only then did Chu Mingyue figure out where she was.

She had clearly lived in the palace for three years when she closed her eyes, so how come when she opened her eyes, she was back in this palace?

She remembered very clearly that it was in this palace that she and Xiao Chongyu were surrounded by people in their disheveled clothes, and from then on, both of them had their reputations ruined.

She gritted her teeth and threatened to go on a hunger strike, begging her father to ask the emperor to grant her a marriage.

Her father was extremely disappointed in her, but he felt sorry for his daughter after all, so he shamelessly asked for an order to grant the marriage.

Chu Mingyue closed her eyes, wondering if the things she remembered so vividly were all just a dream.

Xiao Chongyu's voice became hoarse: "Get out now!"

Today, he was stimulated by the intimate scene between Xiao Chongling and Cang Cang and lost his vigilance for a moment. If he had not been worried about alarming those people in the palace, he would have had someone deal with this shameless woman in front of him.

Chu Mingyue struggled to stand up, and in her panic she almost stepped on the hem of her skirt and fell again.

At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind: she didn't want to marry Xiao Chongyu anymore, nor did she want to be his Crown Princess anymore!

No matter if it was a warning in a dream or from past or present life, she would never have anything to do with Xiao Chongyu again in this life.

Chu Mingyue walked to the door and was about to push it open to go out when Xiao Chongyu's voice rang out: "You should know what to say and what not to say. If..."

"Don't worry, Your Highness," Chu Mingyue said firmly, "I will never bother Your Highness again."

Xiao Chongyu sat on the bed and stared at her for a while with a scrutinizing look before saying, "This is best."

Chu Mingyue was about to open the door when Xiao Chongyu suddenly came over, grabbed her wrist and dragged her behind him.

The familiar scent of pine incense surrounded her, and Chu Mingyue's mind was in a trance for a moment. She even thought that this was the rare time in her previous life when their relationship was harmonious.

She lowered her eyes and stared at Xiao Chongyu's hand that was holding her wrist.

Because he was drugged by the Spring Love Powder, his body was incredibly hot, and the heat now reached her wrist through her summer shirt, causing her heart to beat faster for a moment.

However, Xiao Chongyu soon realized something and quickly let go of his hand.

Chu Mingyue lowered her head, hiding the disappointment in her heart, and tried her best to tell herself not to have any more expectations of this man, otherwise she would be doomed.

A young man's voice was heard outside the door, and Chu Mingyue recognized it as Xiao Chongyu's personal guard Chengfeng.

"Your Highness, the Emperor, Empress, and a group of ladies are coming this way!"

Xiao Chongyu turned around and looked at her with a dark face: "You actually lied to me!"

Chu Mingyue looked at him blankly: "What does your Highness mean?"

"Didn't you arrange this group of people in advance?"

Xiao Chongyu's eyes were terrifying, and Chu Mingyue had no doubt that he wanted to kill her.

In her previous life, she had been with him for ten years, but she had never seen Xiao Chongyu look at her like this.

She hurriedly said, "I will leave through the window right now and will never cause trouble to Your Highness!"

No matter what, the most important thing now is to avoid that group of people. Chu Mingyue immediately turned around and walked quickly to the window.

But when she opened the window, she was dumbfounded.

There was a lake behind the window.

"Ah."

Xiao Chongyu's sneer came from behind, as if saying that he had already seen through her acting.

When Chu Mingyue heard the laughter, she felt a surge of energy that supported her. She gritted her teeth, grabbed the window frame with both hands, turned over and jumped into the lake outside.

A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Chongyu's eyes.

He had never thought of forcing her to jump into the lake. Although he was not favored by the emperor and there was a queen who was always keeping an eye on him, he had been managing the situation for many years and was not completely helpless in the face of such a situation.

But he quickly turned his eyes away indifferently, walked back to the bed and slowly sorted his clothes as if nothing had happened.

As he used his inner strength to suppress the effects of the medicine, the sounds of laughter outside the door became clearer.

"Hey, isn't this Lu Ning? He just said he didn't see the prince. It turns out he ran here to hide away."

The queen's smiling voice sounded extremely disgusting to Xiao Chongyu.

Lu Ning was Xiao Chongyu's personal bodyguard. He saluted the emperor and the queen without being servile or overbearing and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is drunk, please rest here."

"Mother, since my brother is resting here, we should not disturb him."

The emperor frowned and said, "I and his mother have both arrived at the door, but he didn't come to greet us. This is really rude."

Xiao Chongyu sneered. In the eyes and heart of his father, he would never be able to compare to Xiao Chongling.
