The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

Before beating Queen Gu, Lu Lingxi tied her hands and considerately put a black hood on her.

Nan Wangyu asked curiously: "Lingxi, what are you doing?"

Lu Lingxi: "She was just knocked unconscious, not dead. What if we hit her too hard and wake her up? What will she do if she sees us?"

"Aren't we wearing masks? What are you afraid of?"

Lu Lingxi said cautiously: "It's better to cover it up. It's safest to let her not see anything."

After everything was ready, Nan Wangyu stood by and watched while Lu Lingxi started to beat Queen Gu. He punched her head which was covered with a black cloth more than a dozen times, and then twisted her arms and body dozens of times, making sure that every hit left a bruise.

When Lu Lingxi was about to attack Queen Gu's legs, she murmured, "It hurts!"

Nan Wangyu reacted very quickly, pulled Lu Lingxi and said, "Let's go!" Then he climbed out of the window.

Queen Gu was awakened by the pain and found her hands tied and a black cloth on her head. She shouted in horror, "Someone come! Somebody come!" But no one answered.

Queen Gu endured the severe pain in her body and twisted her body with difficulty to try to turn over. Her face was as pale as paper, and beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, but her strong desire to survive drove her to find someone to ask for help. However, with a black cloth covering her head, she could not see clearly what kind of environment she was in. She was at a loss and didn't know what to do.

In a panic, Queen Gu accidentally lost her balance and fell off the high bed. With a muffled "bang", her knees hit a small stool beside the bed, and she gasped in pain. But that was not the end. Due to inertia, her forehead hit the cold and hard ground again, and blood flowed out in an instant, staining the floor tiles under her red.

Queen Gu wailed in her bedroom for nearly half an hour before she was heard by a guard who was changing shifts. He rescued her and woke up the unconscious palace maid.

At this time, Lu Lingxi and Nan Wangyu had already returned to the Prince's Mansion along the same route.

Because he was too excited, Lu Lingxi basically didn't sleep all night.

On the second day, the Crown Prince's concubine, Sun, was caught having an affair with a guard at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet and was thrown into prison. Empress Gu was beaten in her own bedroom. Both incidents shocked the court and the public, and the ministers were in an uproar.

The Queen Gu, who was once elegant and graceful, was now in a state of disgrace. She limped along, and her legs, which should have been straight and slender, were now lame, as if she would fall to the ground at any time without being able to support the weight of her body. Looking up, the face that once captivated the whole country had long since changed beyond recognition, and her head was swollen like a huge pig's head, making it almost impossible to recognize that this was the mother of a country who was so high and mighty.

However, despite this, Queen Gu's anger and hatred did not diminish at all. She widened her bloodshot eyes and shouted at the top of her lungs: "I must catch that damn assassin! I must cut him into pieces and torture him to death, only then can I relieve my hatred!" Seeing this, the Southern Zheng Emperor on the side quickly agreed: "Don't worry, Queen, I will send all my elite soldiers to track down the whereabouts of this thief and will never let him go!"

But who would have thought that not long after, when the people below came back to report, the news they brought was disappointing - the assassin did not leave even the slightest clue! Upon hearing this news, Queen Gu was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze. After she came to her senses, she burst into tears again, and while crying, she complained to the emperor about the great pain and grievances she had suffered.

At first, the Emperor of Nanzheng patiently consoled her, but as Queen Gu's crying became louder, he gradually became impatient. Finally, after listening to Queen Gu's crying, the Emperor of Nanzheng hurriedly left, citing his busy political affairs as an excuse, leaving Queen Gu alone to continue crying...

In the afternoon, Nan Wangyu was called to the Xuan Palace by Emperor Nan Zheng alone.

Looking at the dark circles under his eyes, Emperor Nan Zheng said with a half-smile, "Prince, you didn't sleep well last night."

Nan Wangyu lowered his head and replied, "It's true that I didn't get enough rest. Lingxi suffered some grievances last night. She kept crying after returning home. I comforted her for a long time."

Emperor Nan Zheng sneered: "Comfort the Crown Princess? How do you comfort her? Accompany her to the palace to make trouble?"

Nan Wangyu would never admit it even if he was beaten to death: "I didn't do that. I was just chatting with Lingxi and telling her jokes. I didn't do anything silly."

The Southern Emperor had no intention of investigating further, so he did not continue to ask, but only warned: "Don't do it again next time. Even if there is a next time, do it cleanly for me, and don't leave a mess for me to clean up for you."

Nan Wangyu lowered his head and did not answer.

Emperor Nan Zheng rubbed his brows and sighed, "Go back. Be more careful in the future and don't act recklessly."

Upon learning that Nan Wangyu was called in for questioning by Emperor Nan Zheng alone, Lu Lingxi was still very nervous, fearing that the beating of Queen Gu last night would be discovered.

After Nan Wangyu came back, he told Lu Lingxi, "Father didn't find any clues." Only then did she feel relieved.

Then he couldn't help asking, "Have you seen Queen Gu? How is she injured?"

Nan Wangyu: "No, my father only asked me a few questions and told me to go back home. I didn't have the chance to go to Yanchun Palace."

Lu Lingxi shook his head regretfully: "Alas! How can you be so ignorant of the ways of the world? Your loving mother was injured, and you didn't even bother to visit her. You are so ignorant!"

Nan Wangyu said with a smile: "You know, then you can prepare some supplements such as ginseng and bird's nest, and go to the palace to visit her early tomorrow morning."

Lu Lingxi quickly shook his head: "Forget it, forget it. I'm afraid that I won't be able to hold back my laughter and make her dislike me and come to pick a fight with me. Isn't that asking for trouble? Besides, I have to give her something, so wouldn't I be at a loss?"

Nan Wangyu poked Lu Lingxi's forehead with his right index finger and said with a smile, "You are so clever and you always do whatever you want. I won't play with you like this anymore. If we are found out, we will both be in trouble."

Lu Lingxi folded his hands in front of his chest and said proudly: "After last night, I am done with her. As long as she doesn't mess with me in the future, I won't bother with her. But if she tries to frame me again, I will definitely pay her back tenfold and make her never be able to turn over again."

Nan Wangyu pinched Lu Lingxi's chubby little face and praised: "Well, our little Lingxi is really ambitious."
