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

There was a noise in the yard, and Lu Mingyuan, supported by Zhu Xin, slowly stepped into the courtyard.

"Sister!"

"Sister!"

Lu Mingyang and Lu Mingqin walked out of the house and saluted.

Lu Mingyuan supported himself as he walked up the stairs, then took Lu Mingyang's hand and entered the room. Lu Mingqin nervously looked up, only to meet a pair of angry eyes and fall to her knees in fear.

Zhu Xin reminded: "Fifth Miss, go in!"

After she went in, Zhu Xin closed the door from the outside. Qin Xin asked hurriedly: "Why did it take so long?"

"The old lady has no money to build it, and the girl refused to give in. She stood in the yard for an hour."

Qin Xin said angrily, "Does she have any conscience? If it weren't for the girl, they would have gone out to beg for food this morning. You let her bully the girl? What's the harm in beating a concubine who doesn't know the rules?"

"It's your foul mouth that has caused a rift between the son-in-law and the girl, and you still don't know how to restrain yourself." Zhu Xin patted her lightly and told her not to speak anymore.

It was already dark, and the room with the door closed seemed even darker.

"Eldest sister, I know I was wrong," Lu Mingqin knelt on the ground, pointing at Lu Mingyang who was sitting next to her, and complained: "She was the one who laughed at my life experience first and insisted on telling Madam Yu. That's why I was confused for a moment."

"If that's the case, why are you still speaking for Fourth Sister in the government office?"

"We are sisters after all..." Lu Mingqin didn't dare to lie anymore after hearing the stern gaze. She said bluntly, "Someone threatened me by saying I spread rumors."

"Who?"

"The Huns!"

"She hid it so well." Lu Mingyuan slammed the table in anger. She guessed it was Concubine Song, but she didn't expect that Concubine Song didn't leave even a trace.

But in this way, my sister is safe.

Lu Mingyuan looked at Lu Mingqin again and said with a sad heart, "You have no feelings for Fourth Sister. Don't you care about the kindness of father in raising you?"

"Eldest sister, I didn't know it would implicate father. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to kill myself."

When the rumor started spreading, she was very happy, but within a few days, she regretted it because the rumor spread uncontrollably throughout the Chengyang Marquis Mansion, including her.

It was said that she was a bastard born from the joint rape of Concubine Liu by the Huns and Marquis Chengyang. Marquis Chengyang didn't know whether it was his own child or the Huns', so he kept her by his side.

"Eldest sister, please forgive me this time. I won't dare to do it again." Lu Mingqin kowtowed. Now she only has her elder sister. If her elder sister no longer cares about her, how should she live?

"This concerns my father's reputation. How can I forgive you?" Lu Mingyuan remained unmoved.

Even when the eldest sister knew that she was a Hun, she was not so angry.

Lu Mingqin was terrified. She pointed at Lu Mingyang and cried, "I did spread the rumors, but I didn't lie. She did something as vile as seducing Prince Ningyuan. Why does Eldest Sister only blame me and not her?"

"What did you say?" Lu Mingyuan was stunned.

"Eldest sister, don't you know?" Lu Mingqin immediately perked up and said bitterly, "In order to avoid the marriage, she disregarded the reputation of the entire Chengyang Marquis's female family and seduced Prince Ningyuan."

Lu Mingyuan glanced sideways in surprise: "Is what she said true?"

The voice wasn't loud, but it carried an air of authority that made anyone afraid to deceive. Lu Mingyang looked at the elder sister who had saved his life, knelt silently, and replied "yes."

She didn't want to lie to her.

Lu Mingyuan propped himself up on the couch, looked at the face so close to him, and slapped it hard.

"How dare you tarnish my father's reputation."

"Sister!"

A figure fell to the ground, and Lu Mingyang, holding Lu Mingyuan, fell to the ground. Blood spread out on the ground, a crimson color.

Zhuxin and Qinxin, who were guarding outside the door, ran in and helped their girl up.

"Oh no, the girl is going into premature labor."

Lu Mingyang panicked as he saw the blood on his hands. He frantically followed Zhuxin and Qinxin to carry his elder sister to the bed. Lu Mingyuan weakly pushed Lu Mingyang's hand away and looked away in disgust.

"roll!"

"Eldest sister, when I was making this plan, I had already anticipated that the young Xiongnu Khan would keep this a secret. I really didn't anticipate what would happen next."

"What about Your Majesty? How should Your Majesty view my father?"

"His Majesty?"

Lu Mingyang didn't expect that at this moment, she was still concerned about her father's reputation. He hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty only thought it was Prince Ningyuan's doing. How could he have any prejudice against my father?"

Zhu Xin sighed, "Fourth Miss, you are so confused. Do you know why Old Madam Yu was able to arrive in time? That was the letter from the eldest lady. The eldest lady had already been trying to find a way to save you. Why would you do something so disgraceful to our family?"

It’s the eldest sister!

Before she even knew her, she was trying to save herself.

Lu Mingyang knelt on the footstool and tremblingly reached out to hold his elder sister's hand.

Lu Mingyuan waved it away with a heartbroken look on his face. "I don't blame you for wanting to protect yourself, but you absolutely shouldn't have damaged my father's reputation. Go away. I don't want to see you again."

"Sister..."

"Get out!" Lu Mingqin stepped forward and pushed Lu Mingyang.

The midwife who lived in the mansion rushed in and passed by Lu Mingyang, one going inward and the other going outward.

From time to time, groans could be heard from the house, sounds of pain, weakness, and despair.

Lu Mingyang was standing outside the door, feeling anxious and uneasy, with a vague sense of indescribable grievance and discomfort.

He raised you for twenty-five years, but he didn't raise me. If I always consider others first, I won't be able to live. Who knew Concubine Song was still watching from behind?

There was a bang in the house.

One by one, the midwives sat on the ground, holding their stomachs and wailing in pain.

"No, no! I can't bear it any longer."

At such a crucial moment, all three midwives suffered from diarrhea. One after another, they ran out to use the restroom. In the end, no one was strong enough to deliver the baby.

"I come!"

Lu Mingyang ran in, pushed the exhausted midwife away, and sat directly on the bed. "Eldest sister, don't be afraid. Back then, my brother was born by me and the midwife together."

Under the midwife's guidance, Lu Mingyang helped Lu Mingyuan get into the right state for delivery little by little.

only……

"The amniotic fluid is almost gone, why is there no sign of the baby coming out?"

"what?"

The midwife crawled over to check Lu Mingyuan's belly and said fearfully, "Madam seems to be having a difficult birth."

"You're talking nonsense!" Qin said anxiously, "When the imperial physician came to take my pulse, the baby was very stable. How could it be a difficult birth?"

Zhu Xin raised her hand and slapped him, "Why are you arguing about this at this time? Why don't you go and get the imperial physician?"

Qin Xin went there in a hurry.

Not long after, a little maid came back crying.

"The axle of the carriage in the mansion was broken, so Sister Qinxin ran away."

With so many accidents, someone must have done something deliberate.

Zhu Xin hurriedly ordered: "We can't rely on the imperial physician anymore, go get a doctor."

Doctor Zhang had always been in charge of his eldest sister's health, but even with the sudden change of doctors, she still had a difficult birth. Worried about an accident, Lu Mingyang ran to Tianyi Inn to find Leng Lingfeng.
