I just want to be a princess, no, you want to be a queen

Seeing the young Khan's attention, the attendant didn't dare to miss a single detail and reported carefully: "Prince Ningyuan and Miss Lu Si were sitting on a small boat drinking. Prince Ningyuan was reclining on the boat, and Miss Lu Si was kneeling beside him, feeding him small cups and cakes, so he drank very slowly."

"Damn it!" He dared to let his woman serve him.

"I deserve to die." The servant kowtowed hurriedly.

"I'm not talking to you, just continue." Jin Yiluo put down his bent leg.

"Yes!" The attendant looked up and continued to report in detail.

"Later, Prince Ningyuan played the flute and asked Miss Lu Si to stand at the bow of the boat and dance barefoot."

"Later, Prince Ningyuan hugged Fourth Miss Lu's feet, applied medicine to her, and even blew on her!"

"Later, later, I asked you what's going on now!" Jin Yiluo stood up suddenly.

"Now I'm back." The servant looked aggrieved.

"Idiot, go explore again!" Jin Yiluo impatiently kicked him out.

The attendant who had been waiting beside him asked in confusion: "Master, you are not afraid of King Ningyuan on the battlefield. Since you want to see Miss Lu, why don't you go directly?"

"What do you know!"

After years of reading documents from the Sheng Dynasty, he had gained a lot of insights. He sighed, "It will take at least a year or two for me to return to the Xiongnu to bring her back. If Chu Mingzheng knew that Yang'er was my woman, he would definitely bully her. Yang'er would have to suffer so much for me. After all, I was the one who hurt him in the first place."

At this point, Jin Yiluo sternly reminded his attendants, "Keep your mouths shut and don't let Wu Weixie and the soldiers know."

These servants were the ones who took care of his daily life and entertainment, so it wouldn't matter if they knew about it. But Wu Weye and the soldiers were the ones who helped him conquer the world, so how could he let them know about it?

"Master, we've found out." Wu Weixie stormed in angrily, forgetting even to knock. "The incident at the Clear Water Pond was the work of the fourth young lady of the Lu family."

"What?" Jin Yiluo narrowed his eyes.

Wu Weixie said bitterly, "There's no doubt about it. Two soldiers went to Chunxiang Pavilion. The prostitute who served Prince Ningyuan there personally identified Lu Mingyang."

He originally went to investigate King Ningyuan, but unexpectedly found out about Lu Mingyang.

"She lied to me, how dare she lie to me." Jin Yiluo's eyes turned red, like an angry wolf.

……

Clear water pond

In a warm red room

Lu Mingyang hid in the corner, holding a water pipe-colored chiffon tube dress, eavesdropping on the conversation between two eunuchs outside the house.

"Your Highness has been terribly harmed by the fourth daughter of the Lu family. When he was imprisoned, he had wine, singing and dancing during the day, and a beautiful woman in his arms at night. It was such a heavenly life. Now that he has been released from confinement, he is under the control of His Majesty. Forget singing and dancing girls, there is not even a maid to wash clothes."

The older eunuch sighed listlessly, and the younger eunuch also shook his head.

"Your Highness is so happy, doesn't he hate the fourth lady of the Lu family?"

"Why else would you stay here?" The older eunuch pinched the younger eunuch's buttocks with one hand. "We need to save this for the night and torture him slowly."

Lu Mingyang looked at the exposed clothes in his hands and let out a long, nervous sigh.

If I had known earlier, I would have asked Leng Lingfeng for a few more packets of that medicine. Never mind, let's just take it one step at a time. He's just a sickly person, can't I cure him myself?

Lu Mingyang carried her clothes to the bed and changed them. Actually, she had expected Prince Ningyuan to retaliate against her. She was surprised that the emperor, who forbade him to touch women, would allow her in.

The cold wind blew, and the doors and windows creaked.

Lu Mingyang had just finished changing when she heard a vicious kick on the door. She turned her head and felt a sudden tightening in her neck. Her lower back slammed hard against the bedpost. Before her was Jin Yiluo's ferocious face.

"You dare to lie to me?"

Lu Mingyang's breathing stopped, her face flushed crimson, and she was completely speechless. At first, she was still able to grasp Jin Yiluo's iron-like arms, but later, she didn't even have the strength to do that.

Quietly waiting for death to come.

Jin Yiluo noticed that something was wrong with her and pressed his hands around her neck onto her shoulders.

Lu Mingyang took a long time to catch his breath. He pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, but the tears in his eyes were falling.

"Master, it was Prince Ningyuan who forced me to come. I didn't want to come. You are the only one in my heart."

"How dare you lie to me."

Jin Yiluo, who had softened his heart at the sight of her tears, became furious again when he heard her pretentious words. He grabbed her jaw and questioned, "Did you also lie to Chu Mingzheng the same way when you climbed onto his bed that day?"

His eyes were very determined.

Lu Mingyang suddenly felt relieved, and his pitiful eyes instantly turned cold as a knife: "What do you want to do?"

"I will capture you and bring you back to the Xiongnu. I will ravage you and toy with you. I want you to beg for mercy beneath me, in fear of my majesty. I will make sure you never dare to lie to me again."

Lu Mingyang chuckled and raised his eyebrows in disdain: "Do you dare?"

"Why don't I dare!"

"Okay!"

Before Lu Mingyang started speaking, he kindly touched his swollen chest to help him calm down.

"I will help the little Khan spread the story of the Clear Water Pond, letting the Xiongnu know that the little Khan was deceived by me. I hope they will sympathize with you, pity you, and indignantly ask you to torture me."

Jin Yiluo's grip visibly loosened.

"Why did it loosen?"

Lu Mingyang answered for him, "Since the death of Emperor Taizong, there has been no large-scale war between the Xiongnu and the Sheng Dynasty. You occasionally come to the border to hunt and live a comfortable life. But the young Khan insisted on attacking the Sheng Dynasty. What was the result?

Your elite troops were almost completely decimated, and your most supportive uncle was killed in battle. All the heroic words you made before your tribe have been shattered.

Now, if the little Khan can't even handle such a trivial matter as peace talks, how will the Xiongnu warriors view you? Who will submit to you?"

Jin Yiluo looked at the woman in front of him in surprise, speechless with shock. Even in his sleep, he couldn't speak so clearly.

Lu Mingyang continued to remind him, "According to the etiquette of our Sheng Dynasty, the son inherits the throne after the father's death, but according to the Xiongnu rules, the younger brother inherits the throne after the elder brother's death. Your uncle, the Left Wise King, has a strong army and high prestige. If the young Khan can't even become the Khan of the Xiongnu, how can you even think of ruling the Central Plains?"

Jin Yiluo grabbed Lu Mingyang again and shook him frantically: "Who told you that, Chu Mingzheng, huh?"

Lu Mingyang was shaken by her until he felt dizzy and his bones were broken.

She didn't understand why Jin Yiluo was so scared of a dying man. But if someone came to her, she would lean on him. He misunderstood, so she didn't explain.

When Jin Yiluo calmed down, Lu Mingyang said softly, "Little Khan has great ambitions. Why bother getting angry with a little girl like me? It's not worth it."

Thinking that he was from the Xiongnu, he was worried that he wouldn't understand. Lu Mingyang asked sincerely, "Do you know what a swan is? It's a bird that flies very high and far."

But in Jin Yiluo's eyes, it was just showing off and contempt.
