Chapter 308 Then I'll give you an injection?
In this world, as long as you are alive, there is nowhere you cannot go.
The prince watched as the world blurred inch by inch, but her eyes shone brightly.
It captivated him and made him lose his mind.
"Your Highness?" Lu Yangyang placed the bloodstained dagger back into his hand and asked him earnestly, "Does Your Highness dare to try?"
The crown prince heard his own hoarse voice reply, "Alright."
He wasn't afraid of death, but he knew his current situation was full of uncertainties, and the slightest mistake could lead to her being crushed to pieces as well.
He and his father were once the closest people, so their understanding of each other was the deepest. His father's deepest suspicion of him was not that he suspected his mother of betraying him, but rather that he feared him. As the crown prince, he would face not only the struggle among his brothers and the scrutiny of civil and military officials, but also the delicate balance between himself and the emperor.
It was like a fierce game of chess. They were familiar with each other's moves and knew how to cut off each other's escape routes and devour each other's pieces. The Emperor guessed that he cared about Lu Yangyang, so he tied Lu Yangyang to him, with the aim of making him submit and obediently follow all his arrangements.
His deliberate revelation to his father that Crown Prince Chongwen had another son would surely throw his father into a panic, leading to various speculations about how he would deal with this person.
If he wanted Lu Yangyang to escape unscathed, he had to exploit his father's suspicion of him. He had Lu Yangyang pretend to hurt him, and his father would definitely guess his intentions, what he wanted to do with Lu Yangyang, and what tricks he had up his sleeve. The more he hesitated, the safer Lu Yangyang would be.
Once the matter of deposing the crown prince is settled, he will embark on the path arranged by his father. Meanwhile, Lu Yangyang's situation has already been properly taken care of.
Now, this is the only way out.
But she walked towards him so resolutely, unafraid of the road ahead. If he gave up at this moment, what would he be?
As long as he lives, as long as he can survive, he will one day take back everything they have suffered today.
Even for her words, "I am willing to weather the storm with Your Highness," he would fight to the very last moment.
Lu Yangyang finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the Crown Prince's reply.
She knew the Crown Prince's concerns, and she knew that she was in a predicament where her life or death was uncertain. That's why she hesitated for a long time before finally revealing the solution that was not a solution at all.
If successful, it might give them a glimmer of hope.
Without further ado, Lu Yangyang looked at the bed. Because it was her wedding day, dragon and phoenix candles thicker than her arm were placed there, making the area around the bed exceptionally bright.
This matter needs to be kept extremely secret. Before it succeeds, it's best not to let anyone know except for her and His Highness, so that it can be used at crucial moments.
She turned around and said to the Crown Prince, "Your Highness, I'll carry you to bed."
The crown prince looked down at her slender back and paused slightly, "Hmm?"
Lu Yangyang frowned. After waiting for a long time without the Crown Prince reaching out his hand, she turned her face, looked at the Crown Prince, grabbed his arm, wrapped it around her neck, and leaned over to pick him up.
"Yangyang?" the Crown Prince called softly.
Lu Yangyang turned to look at him in confusion, her lips brushing against his chin, and she felt the Crown Prince's body tense up.
Lu Yangyang's mind was filled with thoughts of what to do next. She had barely slept for the past few days, trying to find a relatively safe method. She even experimented on herself for several days and nights, fearing that something might go wrong.
So at this moment, she had no mind to think about anything else. Seeing that the prince did not speak again, she simply picked him up.
They were already at the edge of the bed, but just a turn away, Lu Yangyang placed the Crown Prince on the bed and leaned half her body on top of him, completely unaware of how intimate their position was. Only when she got up did she see the Crown Prince's bright red ears and reach out to touch his earlobe: "Is Your Highness hot?"
"Ahem," the Crown Prince coughed lightly twice and responded softly, "Hmm."
Lu Yangyang asked hesitantly, "Shall I give you an acupuncture?"
Prince: "..."
He looked away slightly, a little awkwardly, his gaze falling on her casually tied-up hair, where a simple silver hairpin adorned her.
His eyes paused slightly, and he reached out and pulled out the silver hairpin.
Lu Yangyang's hair, which had been tied up, suddenly fell down, landing on the Crown Prince's cheek and neck. The jet-black hair made his skin appear exceptionally pale.
Lu Yangyang stared in surprise, her eyes widening: "Your Highness?"
She hurriedly got up, stood by the bed, and looked at the Crown Prince with a slight frown. She felt that something was not quite right.
But her mind has been too foggy these past few days, and she really can't remember it right now.
The prince propped himself up on the bed, sat up slightly, pulled a pillow over his back, and handed the silver to her. He gently pressed the round bead in the center of the silver hairpin with his fingertip, and the bead popped out. He gently pulled the bead out, and it turned out to be a slender silver needle.
Lu Yangyang stared in shock at the ordinary silver hairpin. She remembered that this silver hairpin was a coming-of-age gift from her elder brother last year in Yangguan City. Because the style was ordinary and convenient, and she herself was not very good at styling her hair, she had never used many jewelry pieces. However, she often used this silver hairpin and always carried it with her.
But she still hasn't discovered that this silver hairpin actually has a hidden mechanism?
"This is..." Lu Yangyang paused, suddenly remembering that when his elder brother gave him this silver hairpin, he seemed to hesitate, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't. Could it be...?
She asked the Crown Prince, "Did Your Highness give me this hairpin?"
The Crown Prince gave a soft "hmm": "Giving you a hairpin originally wouldn't have been appropriate. When A-Yao came to me, she wanted me to make a few knives for you, so I asked someone to find that weapons master to give you a suitable coming-of-age gift. In the end, after thinking it over, I asked him to make this hairpin. However, that master is an old man who has spent his life studying weapons and has no expertise in hairpins and jewelry, so the one he made is not refined enough."
Lu Yangyang took the hairpin from his hand and quickly pressed the other round beads. Surprisingly, each one was a hidden silver needle, but from the outside, it looked like an ordinary silver hairpin. This was amazing!
"You didn't even tell me!" This is definitely one of the most useful gifts she's ever received!
If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have needed to carry a needle case with her every time she went out.
The Crown Prince chuckled softly at her delighted expression, but there was also a hint of helplessness in his voice. She probably had no idea what it meant for a man to give a woman a hairpin.
Oh well, it's better not to know.
Lu Yangyang played with the silver hairpin with obvious delight, then hurriedly tied her hair up haphazardly, turned around to fetch her medicine box, and took out a row of gold needles and knives.
"Your Highness, I'm going to retest every inch of your meridians. I can't use anesthetic, it might hurt a lot, please bear with it."
"……it is good."
