She is a heartthrob who wants to live a good life

He opened the door and walked out expressionlessly: "Your son greets the Emperor, Father, and the Empress, Mother."

With a casual glance, he saw that following behind the Emperor and Empress were several ladies and young ladies, as well as his eldest brother Xiao Chongling and Shen Weicang standing next to him.

Xiao Chongyu withdrew his gaze as if nothing had happened.

The emperor frowned and said, "Today is your birthday, but you came here to have some free time. How can you be so self-aware as a prince?"

"That's what my father taught me."

Xiao Chongyu responded calmly, his hands hanging by his sides clenched into fists.

The emperor didn't want to say too many words of discipline in front of these ladies on his birthday, so he said lightly: "It's just right that you have rested now, take these ladies to the Imperial Garden for a walk."

Xiao Chongyu knew that the Emperor was arranging a Crown Princess for him. He was afraid that he had already decided on someone and was just waiting for him to go to the Imperial Garden. Then the others would disperse and only he and the young lady would be left.

He coughed twice, his face turned pale: "Yes, I will obey your order."

Xiao Chongling was about to say something when the second princess Xiao Jingqi, who was standing on the other side of him, quietly pulled his sleeve.

Xiao Chongling ignored him and said, "Father, Chongyu looks pale and unwell. It would be better to let him go back to the East Palace to rest."

Seeing the emperor's unhappy expression, the queen hurriedly said, "Ling'er and Yu'er have a deep brotherly love, so it's only natural for you to care about your brother. However, Yu'er has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and it's not possible for a man to be so delicate. He's just walking around in the imperial garden, it's nothing serious."

After hearing these words, even if Xiao Chongyu continued to say that he was indeed feeling unwell, it would seem like he was being hypocritical and making excuses.

He glanced at the queen calmly: "What the queen mother said is true."

As he spoke, Xiao Chongyu extended his right hand: "Everyone, please."

Seeing Shen Weicang still standing beside Xiao Chongling, he looked deeply and asked, "Princess Ji Fu, aren't you going over?"

Shen Weicang pursed his lips and smiled: "I go to the Imperial Garden often, so I won't go over to join in the fun today."

Xiao Chongling was afraid that Xiao Chongyu might misunderstand, so he quickly added: "Cang Cang has made an appointment with Jingqi to go to her palace today."

"I see."

Xiao Chongyu didn't ask any more questions. He just nodded slightly and turned to leave.

As soon as he turned around, the calmness on his face disappeared without a trace.

Thinking of how Shen Weicang was beside Xiao Chongling today and the two of them were talking and laughing, Xiao Chongyu's heart felt like it was being bitten by a bug, feeling sour and painful.

But he can't do anything now.

Countless people were eyeing him as the crown prince, and even his father the Emperor wanted to find an excuse to depose him as the crown prince and enthronize Xiao Chongling at any time. He could not afford to make even the slightest mistake.

When they arrived at the Imperial Garden, as expected, the ladies and young ladies were nowhere to be seen. However, Xiao Chongyu waited for an incense stick but no one came, so he simply left his substitute behind to deal with it and turned back to the East Palace.

As soon as he returned to the study and closed the door, he couldn't help coughing up blood.

The drug Spring Love Powder was too potent, and Chu Mingyue administered it without restraint. In addition, he had been stimulated and drunk too much today, which further accelerated the effect of the drug. He had already reached his limit by suppressing it with his internal force.

His personal guard Cheng Yu appeared and supported him: "Your Highness, I have sent someone to invite Doctor Wei."

With his support, Xiao Chongyu walked to the small couch where they usually rested and sat down with a gloomy face.

"Prince Jing and Princess Ji Fu went to Princess Changle's palace and had fun for half an hour. Princess Qingyang came to look for the princess, and she left."

Cheng Yu knew how much Xiao Chongyu valued Princess Ji Fu, and he looked hesitant as he thought about the news he had reported.

"Say something."

Cheng Yu lowered his head and said, "Before the princess left, Prince Jing took her hand and kissed... kissed her face, and also... exchanged tokens with the princess. People over there said that Prince Jing and the queen might have asked the emperor to grant them a marriage."

"boom!"

Xiao Chongyu couldn't bear it any longer, he raised his hand and overturned the table on the couch, and the teacup broke into pieces on the floor.

Cheng Yu knelt down quickly: "Your Highness, calm down."

Xiao Chongyu was filled with rage. He tried his best to swallow the blood that surged up in his throat and said sinisterly, "Do it."

Cheng Yu raised his head in shock and tried to dissuade him: "Your Highness, please think twice. Our plans are not complete yet. If we act rashly, we may be defeated by King Jing and all our years of planning will be in vain!"

Xiao Chongyu said calmly: "When did I need you to give me advice on how to do things?"

"Think twice, Your Highness!"

"Do you think that everything will be fine if I don't take action?" Xiao Chongyu closed his eyes. "My good father is already looking for a Crown Princess for me. He can't bear to see me sit firmly on the throne of Crown Prince. If I don't take action, he will seize the opportunity."

Riding on the rain, he remained silent.

"Your Highness, Dr. Wei is here."

Lu Ning's voice of reporting rang out.

"Let him in," Xiao Chongyu said to Cheng Yu, "Do as I say."

Cheng Yu gritted his teeth: "Yes."

Doctor Wei was a young man. He walked in with an unruly smile on his face. He started by teasing, "I haven't seen you in such a mess for a long time. Tsk tsk tsk, look at you, you're so pitiful. You're even vomiting blood."

Lu Ning retreated silently and closed the door behind them.

Xiao Chongyu squinted at Wei Yun and said, "If you're here to make sarcastic remarks, get out of here."

"Are you sure?" Wei Yun smiled gloatingly, "Spring Love Powder is not an ordinary medicine. If you don't find someone to relieve it, it may even backfire on your meridians. I don't think you can make the princess willingly give you the antidote now, right?"

Seeing that Xiao Chongyu's face was getting uglier, Wei Yun stopped joking and walked forward to take his pulse and treat him.

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

The moment Chu Mingyue jumped into the lake, she regretted it.

Why should she leave in such a mess when Xiao Chongyu was standing in the room just fine?

What made her most angry was that the man stood there as steady as a rock from beginning to end, without any intention of stopping her, and watched her jump into the lake and leave.

Fortunately, Chu Mingyue had been used to going into the water and climbing trees since she was a child. After entering the water, she swam quickly to the other side of the shore and came ashore dripping wet.

As soon as she got ashore, she heard the sound of people chatting and hurriedly hid behind the bushes.

"I really don't know what the emperor and the queen like about Chu Mingyue. In terms of status, Sister Lin is not much worse than her, and in terms of talent, she can't even compare to Sister Lin by a finger."

"Don't talk about these things in the palace, be careful that the walls have ears."

Chu Mingyue recognized the voice behind as that of her "good sister" Lin Rongyin, and couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

In her previous life, she was very sincere to Lin Rongyin, but Lin Rongyin had always been plotting against her.

The bad idea of ​​drugging Xiao Chongyu today was given to her by Lin Rongyin, and even the aphrodisiac was given to her by Lin Rongyin.

Chu Mingyue really wanted to go out and slap Lin Rongyin hard in the face, but now she was shivering here like a drowned chicken, unable to move.

She had sent her personal maids, Luyin and Hongyu, away, and she didn't know when they would realize that their mistress was missing.
