The scumbag wiped out my entire family, I was reborn to marry the villain prince

Chapter 35 Loving couple, a perfect couple

After thinking for a while, Lu Qingyu straightened his clothes and raised his hand to knock on the door.

"Who?" Prince Ning's impatient voice came from inside the door.

Lu Qingyu cleared her throat and said, "Third Prince, I am Princess Jing, Lu Qingyu. I heard that Princess Ning was ill, so I came to visit her."

There was silence inside for a while, and then the sound of rustling footsteps was heard.

After a while, a servant opened the side door, bowed and said respectfully, "Princess Jing, His Highness invites you in."

When Lu Qingyu followed the servant into the yard, she could vaguely hear a woman's screams and the dull sound of a wooden stick hitting flesh.

Not far away, a handsome man in a black robe was leaning against the railing, his face gloomy and cold, with a few drops of blood on his hands.

Lu Qingyu recognized him at the first sight. This was the third prince, He Junyu, who looked most like Emperor Tianwu.

"Greetings, Third Prince." Lu Qingyu took light steps, stood in front of Prince Ning, and bowed slightly.

"I heard that you cured the Royal Grandmother?" Prince Ning narrowed his eyes and looked up and down at Lu Qingyu and the ancient medical box in her left hand.

He didn't know much about the second daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo. After all, Lu Qingyu used to be very low-key and would only occasionally attend banquets hosted by some noble ladies in Kyoto.

At other times, Lu Qingyu would practice martial arts and learn medical skills at home, and travel around the world with his grandmother to treat people.

Lu Qingyu's initiative to visit today was indeed beyond King Ning's expectations.

Lu Qingyu smiled, speaking in a nonchalant tone, as if discussing a trivial matter, "It is true. The Empress Dowager only has a minor problem."

Prince Ning retracted his gaze and said calmly, "Your third sister-in-law has indeed been feeling unwell recently. If your seventh sister-in-law is available, I would trouble you to take a look at her."

Lu Qingyu nodded, "Of course it's convenient, please lead the way, Your Highness."

The two were walking one after the other when Lu Qingyu suddenly asked casually, "Just now I seemed to hear a woman crying and begging for mercy. What happened?"

Prince Ning suddenly stopped, turned around and stared at Lu Qingyu with a sinister and creepy look.

"Seventh brother's wife really cares about other people's private affairs."

Lu Qingyu's heart trembled slightly, but he still had a faint smile on his face, "Please forgive me, Third Prince. I am just a little curious and have no intention of prying into your privacy."

Prince Ning snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and continued walking forward.

Soon, the two came to a quiet place.

Surrounded by a lake, a small house sits alone in the center of the lake, with only a suspension bridge connecting the house to the shore.

Although the lakeside is quiet and elegant, Lu Qingyu always feels that the atmosphere is quiet and a bit depressing.

Suppressing the uncomfortable feeling in his heart, Lu Qingyu followed King Ning onto the suspension bridge and came to the lonely little house.

"Seventh brother's wife, please go in. I will be waiting outside." King Ning said.

Lu Qingyu nodded slightly and walked into the house.

As soon as she entered the door, she smelled a stale smell that had accumulated due to long-term lack of ventilation.

The room was dimly lit, and the oil lamp on the wall emitted a faint glow, as if it could go out at any time.

There were very few windows, and the few that did exist were covered with thick window paper, allowing almost no light to penetrate.

The furniture was extremely new and expensive, but it seemed somewhat out of place in such a dimly lit room.

A maid came over timidly, "Excuse me, who are you?"

Lu Qingyu was silent for a moment, "I am Princess Jing, Lu Qingyu. I was entrusted by Prince Ning to come here to treat Princess Ning."

The maid bowed slightly and said, "Then please follow me into the inner room."

After entering the inner room, Lu Qingyu was secretly shocked.

The room was actually very large, but on the spacious bed, sat a thin woman with a haggard face and empty and numb eyes.

When Lu Qingyu approached, the woman still looked dazed and didn't react at all. She just stared blankly at the only window in the room. "Princess Ning?" Lu Qingyu stretched out his hand and waved it in front of the woman's eyes.

Princess Ning was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses.

The lifeless eyes turned around before looking at Lu Qingyu.

"Who are you?" Princess Ning's voice was hollow, without any emotion.

Lu Qingyu sat down beside the bed quietly and said softly, "My name is Lu Qingyu, and I'm here to treat you."

"Lu Qingyu, Lu Qingyu." Princess Ning repeated the name numbly.

But she suddenly threw back the quilt in anger, revealing a body that was so thin that it was almost shriveled. She was wearing an expensive brocade dress, which made her look as funny as a child who had stolen adult clothes.

"No, I'm not sick! I don't want to see a doctor!"

Princess Ning yelled, hugged herself with her arms, and looked at Lu Qingyu almost as if she were an enemy.

But beneath those angry grey eyes, there was a deep sense of fear and anxiety.

Lu Qingyu's brows were tightly locked together.

There's something clearly wrong with Princess Ning's mental state.

Rumor has it that Prince Ning loves his wife dearly, and the concubines in the mansion are all well-behaved and dare not disobey the princess.

The noble ladies in the capital also envied the good fortune of Princess Ning. Everyone agreed that they were a loving couple, a match made in heaven.

At least that’s what Lu Qingyu thought in his previous life.

But if she was really respected and loved like this, Princess Ning would not have fallen into such a numb and crazy state.

Hearing the footsteps outside the house, Lu Qingyu frowned slightly, and quickly took out a porcelain bottle from the medical box, opened the lid and placed it under Princess Ning's nose for a moment.

By the time Prince Ning walked in, Princess Ning had already quietly laid back on the bed.

King Ning's dark pupils condensed slightly, and he turned to look at Lu Qingyu, "Sister-in-law, I just heard Qin'er scream, what were you doing?"

Lu Qingyu lied without blushing, "Your Highness, I'm afraid you heard it wrong. The princess and I just had a very pleasant conversation."

"Really? If so, I wonder what Seventh Brother's wife thinks about Qin'er's illness?" King Ning's voice was cold.

"I haven't had the time to check Princess Ning's pulse." Lu Qingyu spread his hands helplessly.

Prince Ning's eyes darkened. He stood in silence for a while, then pulled a chair over and sat beside the bed.

"Okay, then I will sit here and watch my seventh brother and sister-in-law diagnose Qin'er's pulse."

Lu Qingyu's heart twitched. It seemed that Prince Ning had come with bad intentions.

He was probably standing outside just now, waiting for Princess Ning to say that she didn't want to see the doctor, and then rush in.

But no matter what, she still had to take the pulse.

Lu Qingyu stretched out three fingers and placed them on the pale and thin wrist of Princess Ning, then closed his eyes and quietly felt her pulse.

Prince Ning kept staring at Lu Qingyu, with strange lights flashing in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Princess Ning on the bed was very quiet, completely devoid of the excitement she had just shown.

The whole person is like a broken rag doll, lifeless and without emotion.

Babies, I specially went to check whether there were rag dolls in ancient times.

AI said: Ancient dolls were usually made of cloth, stuffed with cotton, cloth scraps or grass. Although not as delicate as modern dolls, they can still be playmates for children.

So, this is how I’ll describe it for now. If any of you have more accurate information, please tell me and I’ll revise it.
