You have asked for permission to marry, why should I restrain myself?

Chapter 138 Lin Zhaoyue starts acting: The subject is willing to atone for Miss Liu's sins

Lin Zhaoyue sneered and walked towards him.

The wound on his arm has been bandaged by Mr. Li.

Lin Zhaoyue had just sat down beside Xiao Yun's bed when she seemed to sense something, and Xiao Yun's big hand immediately grabbed Lin Zhaoyue's hand.

The hand that was grabbed was her severely dislocated hand. Lin Zhaoyue groaned in pain and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

Feng Xin noticed Lin Zhaoyue's expression, looked at Lin Zhaoyue's limp hand, couldn't help but touch his nose, and said:

"Miss Lin, I'll go call Mr. Li to come over and take a look at the wound on your hand."

Lin Zhaoyue shook her head and said:

"This is the prince's punishment for me. He will probably be angry when he wakes up and sees you acting on your own."

As she spoke, Lin Zhaoyue was about to pull her hand back, but Xiao Yun held it even tighter, as if he was afraid that she would leave.

Lin Zhaoyue's face turned pale with pain.

She stretched out her left hand, trying to pry open his fingers one by one, but as soon as she pried open one, his other finger wrapped around hers.

Lin Zhaoyue simply changed her hand and gave it to him.

Then Feng Xin miraculously saw that the prince really stopped screaming after holding Miss Lin's hand.

"Miss Lin, I'm waiting outside the door. Just call me if you need anything."

Lin Zhaoyue nodded.

The prince was injured in the dungeon. Feng Xin was worried and stood outside the prince's bedroom all night holding a sword.

As soon as Xiao Yan woke up, he heard a light breathing sound beside his ear. He turned around and saw Lin Zhaoyue lying beside his bed, with red marks on her pretty face.

And his hand was tightly holding her hand.

I don’t know what she dreamed about, her brows were tightly frowned.

Subconsciously, he reached out and touched her eyebrows, trying to smooth out her frown.

As soon as he touched her soft skin, he immediately realized something was wrong.

What is he going to do?

She was the one who hurt Yiyi.

Besides, wasn't she in the dungeon? How could she be in his chamber?

Who had the guts to let her out?

At this moment, Lin Zhaoyue felt something touching her and woke up.

Having just woken up, her almond-shaped eyes were misty, with slightly red corners and a hint of weariness.

Seeing Xiao Yan's hand on his forehead, he was slightly stunned.

Xiao Yan slowly withdrew his hand and said coldly:

"Why are you in my bedroom?"

Lin Zhaoyue knew that it was useless for her to say anything, so she shouted:

"Guardian Feng."

Feng Xin waited outside the door all night. When he heard Lin Zhaoyue calling him, he hurried in.

When Lin Zhaoyue saw Feng Xin, she said:

"Guard Feng, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me why I am here."

Feng Xin bowed and saluted, saying:

"Your Highness was unconscious last night and kept calling Miss Lin's name, so I took the initiative to bring Miss Lin back."

He was unconscious, calling Lin Zhaoyue's name?

How can it be?

But he knew that Feng Xin would not lie to him.

Xiao Yan frowned, his dark phoenix eyes were sharp, and he said:

"Go down and get twenty lashes of the cane."

Feng Xin cupped his hands and whispered:

"Yes."

Twenty lashes of cane was as good as no punishment to him.

Thinking of something, Feng Xin said:

"The Queen came over last night."

Why would the Queen Mother come to the East Palace?

A hint of doubt flashed across Xiao Yan's eyes.

"Did the Queen Mother say anything?"

"No, I just asked my subordinates to take good care of His Highness."

Feng Xin finished speaking and was about to leave when he heard the prince say:

"Take her back to the dungeon. Don't let her out until Yiyi wakes up."

Hearing Xiao Yun's words, Lin Zhaoyue's eyes flickered slightly.

When he stood up, he took just two steps and then fainted.

Seeing this, Feng Xin quickly reached out to help Lin Zhaoyue.

Lin Zhaoyue was weak all over and was supported by Feng Xin. From Xiao Yan's perspective, it looked like she was leaning in Feng Xin's arms.

Xiao Yun stared at Feng Xin who was about to pick up Lin Zhaoyue. His jawline was tense and a sharp look flashed in his dark pupils.

Feng Xin only felt a chill on his back and did not notice Xiao Yan's emotions.

He had to carry out the prince's order. He planned to send Lin Zhaoyue back to the dungeon and then let Elder Li go over to treat her.

Seeing Feng Xin holding Lin Zhaoyue and about to leave, Xiao Yan spoke with a cold voice:

"Where are you going to take her?"

The wind is inexplicable:

"Take Miss Lin to the dungeon."

Feng Xin is usually not very smart, but this time his stupidity made Xiao Yan want to drive him to the stable to feed the horses.

"Bring the person here."

"Prince, aren't you going to send Miss Lin to the dungeon?"

Feng Xin was puzzled.

"Just hold me here if you ask me to. If you keep talking nonsense, I will chop you into pieces and feed you to the dogs."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is bluffing again.

Feng Xin shrank his neck and walked over holding Lin Zhaoyue.

Looking at Lin Zhaoyue's limp hand, Xiao Yun's dark eyes moved slightly.

He broke it last night.

"Let Mr. Li come over."

"Yes."

Old Mr. Li came over and took Lin Zhaoyue's pulse while looking at her.

Just when Lin Zhaoyue thought that Mr. Li would expose her pretending to be unconscious, she heard Mr. Li slowly say:

"Although the pulse is weak, it is stable. Miss Lin must be overworked."

Mr. Li took back his pulse-checking hand and continued:

"However, Miss Lin's right hand is severely dislocated. Your Highness, do you need me to straighten it?"

Xiao Yan looked at Lin Zhaoyue on the bed, was silent for a moment, and said lightly:

"Yeah. Pick it up."

"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Old Li responded and began to adjust Lin Zhaoyue's bones.

Mr. Li first touched Lin Zhaoyue's wrist bones to see the position of the bones. After confirming, with a crisp "click", he reconnected Lin Zhaoyue's bones.

It hurts.

Lin Zhaoyue endured the pain and didn't make a sound.

Xiao Yun looked at the beads of sweat that kept appearing on her forehead, and when he saw that she hadn't opened her eyes, he knew that she was pretending to faint.

Pretend under his nose?

He sneered.

After Mr. Li finished setting the bones, Xiao Yun waved his hand and asked everyone to leave.

There were only two of them left in the huge bedroom. Xiao Yan stood beside the bed, staring at her without saying a word, just waiting to see how long she could keep pretending.

After waiting for a long time and seeing that she didn't move, Xiao Yan finally spoke:

"How long are you going to pretend to be unconscious?"

His tone was cold.

Lin Zhaoyue bit her lip, concealed all the emotions in her heart, opened her eyes, and said softly:

"The prince has a keen eye. Nothing can escape his eyes."

Xiao Yan frowned at Lin Zhaoyue's sudden change in attitude towards him.

What is she planning?

Yesterday I wanted to kill him, but now I praise him for his good vision.

"Your Highness, I know I was wrong. Qingzhu had just passed away, and I was too emotional and accidentally hurt Miss Liu."

"Lin Zhaoyue, I'm not blind. You clearly wanted to kill Yiyi that day."

Xiao Yan's voice was cold and he was not moved by her words.

“When I was emotional, I didn’t know what I was doing. It wasn’t until the Crown Prince went to the dungeon and gave me a lecture that I came to my senses.

Miss Liu is such a "kind" person, but I actually hurt her. I deserve to die.

Just now I pretended to faint because I wanted Your Highness to ask Mr. Li to treat my wrist. After all, I have been spoiled since I was a child. Just as the prince said, I am very delicate and cannot bear such pain.

The second is to ask Miss Liu to forgive me. I was in so much pain just because my wrist was twisted. I hurt Miss Liu so much at that time. I dare not imagine how much pain Miss Liu must have felt at that time. So I want to atone for my sins. Please give me this opportunity, Your Highness. "

Xiao Yun lowered his head slightly, his dark eyes were dim and unclear, and it was impossible to tell whether he believed her words or not.

"How are you going to atone for your sins?"

"I am willing to kneel before Miss Liu and serve her until she wakes up."

Lin Zhaoyue recalled that when she poisoned Liu Yiyi in the villa, Xiao Yan punished her in the same way. It seemed that he liked this way very much.

Kneel down and serve?

She is truly adaptable.

A hint of coldness flashed across Xiao Yan's eyes, and he said in a cold voice:

"Since you want to, then go and kneel in front of Yiyi's yard now!"

"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Lin Zhaoyue said this, stood up, and walked towards the yard where Liu Yiyi was.

Xiao Yan looked at Lin Zhaoyue's back and called Feng Xin:

"Follow her and see what she wants to do. Also, don't let her enter Yiyi's bedroom."

"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

After giving the order, Xiao Yan looked at his arm, asked someone to come in and change the bandages, and after having breakfast, he went to the morning court as usual.

After the morning court session, he went to the Kunning Palace.

"Did the Queen Mother go to the Eastern Palace yesterday?"

The queen was rolling her face with an oval jade object to maintain her complexion. After ordering the palace maid to bring out the blood-replenishing medicine, she said with a gloomy look:

"You haven't attended the morning court for three days, so naturally, your mother has to go and see you."

"Then why did the Queen Mother go there only at night?"

The Queen was never serious. When Xiao Yan asked her this, she said without hesitation:

"During this period of time, your father has been pestering your mother. There is no other way, your mother can only go to your place to hide."

Xiao Yan: ...

The Queen said, and then she remembered something:

"My mother went to the dungeon yesterday."

After a pause, he continued:

"She is the daughter of Duke Lin after all. Ying'er shouldn't be so cruel to her."

When Xiao Yan heard the Queen say that she had been to the dungeon, he knew that she must have seen Lin Zhaoyue. His eyes flickered slightly and he said:

"Don't worry, mother. I know what to do..."

……

The weather was unpredictable. When Xiao Yun came out of the palace, it started to drizzle.

The carriage swayed and stopped in front of the East Palace.

When Xiao Yun entered the East Palace, the first thing he went to was Liu Yiyi's courtyard.

As soon as he reached the yard, Xiao Yan stopped, and then an inexplicable anger surged in his chest.

In the courtyard, a figure was kneeling straight there, letting the rain hit her.

She was motionless, like a puppet.

It's raining heavily, why is she kneeling there?

Xiao Yan raised his foot and strode forward.

He walked to Lin Zhaoyue and looked down at her.

The shadow loomed. Lin Zhaoyue raised her head and met Xiao Yun's gloomy face.

Lin Zhaoyue knew Xiao Yan was angry as soon as she saw his expression, but she didn't know what he was angry about, so she said:

"Your Highness, I have been kneeling here peacefully. If you don't believe me, you can ask Guard Feng."

Xiao Yun raised his eyes and glanced at Feng Xin who was standing in the corridor, his eyes were as sharp as knives.

No matter how slow Feng Xin was, he knew from that look that it was the look of a swordsman.

I couldn't help but shrink my neck.

He was not being lazy at all. He had been watching over Miss Lin here diligently and responsibly. Moreover, he had just offered Miss Lin an umbrella, but she refused it.

"Lin Zhaoyue, when did you become so obedient?"

He had said so much before, but she had never listened to him once.

He has sent Feng Xin to supervise her, would she dare to disobey?

Lin Zhaoyue sneered in her heart, but her face looked pitiful.

From the fact that he liked Liu Yiyi and the image Liu Yiyi showed in front of him, she knew that Xiao Yan liked weak and well-behaved girls.

It's just acting. She just disdained it before, but it doesn't mean she can't do it.

Lin Zhaoyue raised her rain-soaked face and said sincerely with a hint of pity:

"I hurt Miss Liu, so I was at fault first. Since I said I would kneel, I will kneel."

Lin Zhaoyue used to be persistent and bold in front of him, but after the Lanting Waterside Pavilion, she and him were incompatible and tit-for-tat. When had she ever been so pitiful?

Xiao Yun only felt that his heart was being rubbed by a hand, wrinkling it, causing a slight pain and a hint of sourness.

Feeling annoyed, Xiao Yan said:

"stand up."

Lin Zhaoyue seemed not to have heard it and continued, "I haven't yet completed my atonement with Miss Liu..."

A trace of anger appeared on Xiao Yan's handsome face:

"Lin Zhaoyue, Yiyi is still unconscious. Who are you atoning for your sins to? I will not let you get up."

After saying that, he reached out and tried to pull Lin Zhaoyue up.

However, Lin Zhaoyue broke free from his hand. Her pitiful appearance and pale face were more touching than Liu Yiyi's pitiful appearance:

"Your Highness, please let me kneel down. If it weren't for me, Miss Liu wouldn't be unconscious until now. I have sinned deeply. Only in this way can I feel better."

Xiao Yan lowered his head and looked at her for a long time, and finally said:

"If you want to kneel, then kneel down!"

As he was about to leave, he heard Feng Xin's exclamation.

"Miss Lin..."

He looked down and saw her body falling straight down.

Xiao Yun cursed inwardly, reached out to catch the person, and held him up sideways.

Lin Zhaoyue’s head wound had not healed yet, and she was holding on just to wait for Xiao Yan to come back.

She did it for him to see.

Now that he had seen it, she could faint without worrying about it.

"Let Mr. Li come over."

Xiao Yun carried Lin Zhaoyue into the bedroom quickly, put her in the bathtub, and called a maid to change her clothes.

Mr. Li arrived quickly, and after a careful inspection, he said solemnly:

"Your Highness, Miss Lin is in a bad condition because her head injury has worsened and she fainted due to the cold from the rain."

Xiao Yun looked at the bleeding wound on Lin Zhaoyue's head and felt as if his heart was stabbed by something.

He was the one who caused the wound on her head.

He had absolutely no control over his strength at that time.

"Besides the wounds on her head and hands, are there any other injuries on her body?"

"This old man still needs to be checked."

Upon hearing this, Yuanyuan said:

"Your Highness, when I was changing Miss Lin's clothes just now, I found that Miss Lin had large bruises on her cervical vertebrae and lower back. From my observation, it seems that she was injured by a collision."

The spine was left when he threw her against the wall in the dungeon, and her expression was in pain.

As for the back...

He remembered that when he hit her with his palm, even the bed rails were smashed to pieces.

Xiao Yan was upset and said:

"Go find a female doctor."

After the doctor arrived, she carefully examined Lin Zhaoyue. Fortunately, no internal organs were injured.

Except for the more serious injury on the head, the rest were superficial injuries.

Because of the injury on her head, Lin Zhaoyue had a high fever for two days.

Looking at Lin Zhaoyue, who was lying on the bed with a pale face and mumbling in her sleep, Xiao Yan's eyebrows were irritated. He took the handkerchief from Yuanyuan's hand and said:

"Gu Lai, you go out."

Yuanyuan was surprised. Is His Highness going to warm up Miss Lin himself?

But these are the master's business. Yuanyuan bowed respectfully and left.

Xiao Yan wrung out the water from the handkerchief, folded the wet and cold handkerchief, and covered Lin Zhaoyue's hot forehead with it.

The girl's lips were slightly parted, and she was saying something.

He listened closely and heard only five words:

"Xiao Yan, you deserve to die."

Xiao Yan's face immediately turned cold.
