Chapter 36 Heartbeat
Chu Ci looked at King Rui suspiciously, and saw King Rui looking at her and nodding seriously.
"Your Majesty." Prince Rong looked at the emperor pitifully, "The imperial physician has examined my injuries and said they are irreparable. Your Majesty, I have not yet married."
"This is all Miss Chu's fault. Let Miss Chu marry me. This will be the best for both of us."
"no!"
"no!"
Chu Ci thought of many ways to be punished, but she didn't expect Rong Ziyu to be so shameless and dare to have feelings for her.
Prince Rui narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Rong Ziyu, his eyes full of murderous intent. "I said, the injuries on your body were caused by me. You beat her so hard that she couldn't move. How could I possibly go up and cripple you?"
When the emperor saw his son's serious look, he knew that what he said was the truth, and he also realized that his son was different.
"Prince Rui, have you made up your mind?"
Prince Rui pulled Chu Ci behind him and kowtowed deeply to the emperor, "I accept the punishment."
Seeing King Rui's persistence and the murderous aura emanating from him, Pingyang Hou and Rong Ziyu dared not say anything, but the feud between the two families had already been formed.
Chu Ci kowtowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, all of this started because Rong Ziyu wanted to assault me. He was seriously injured, but I was also seriously injured. I was afraid that if it got out, it would be bad for my reputation, so I didn't dare go to the clinic."
"Your Majesty, Prince Rui was only saving people. Rong Ziyu is the real culprit!"
The emperor glanced at the maid next to him and said, "Go and check on Miss Chu's injuries."
Chu Ci slowly stood up and left with the maid.
When Chu Ci went to the inner room and took off her clothes, the little maid saw that Chu Ci's body was covered with bruises and purples, some of which had pink flesh turned outward, and she frowned. There were other wounds on her legs, and the little maid fell silent.
This Miss Chu is really too tolerant.
The little maid returned to the emperor's side, half-knelt, and saluted respectfully. "Your Majesty, Miss Chu's injuries are serious, very serious. Her entire back is seriously injured. To be exact, it is very serious. There is not a single piece of good flesh left."
The emperor looked at Rong Ziyu, who was still lying on the ground, his eyes gradually turning colder. "You dare to use force? And hit someone?"
The capable Rong Ziyu suddenly became weak and looked to the Duke for help.
The Duke quickly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, we are both at fault. Please grant the marriage and let Miss Chu marry Quan'er. We will not pursue the matter further."
Chu Ci slowly clenched his hands into fists, lowered his head, and said nothing.
Prince Rui completely blocked Chu Ci behind him, and the cold air he released became more and more intense. "I said, Rong Ziyu's injuries were caused by me. If there is any punishment, I will take it."
In fact, the emperor had almost guessed the truth of the matter. As for the reason, the emperor could also guess it. "Alright, it is a fact that Prince Rui caused the Rongguogong's son to become a disabled person. Drag him out and give him fifty lashes. As for Rong Ziyu's injury, let the head of the hospital go and take a look."
After the emperor finished speaking, a young eunuch came to invite Prince Rui. Chu Ci looked at Prince Rui anxiously. Fifty lashes of the cane was really not something a normal person could endure. Even if the eunuch who was beating the cane didn't dare to kill him, he would still lose half his life.
After Prince Rui was taken away, the emperor looked at Chu Ci deeply and left as well. Seeing this, Chu Ci hurriedly chased after him.
When she walked to Rong Ziyu's side, her eyes shot towards Rong Ziyu like arrows, "We are not done with this matter yet."
Outside, Chu Ci came to the side of King Rui and watched him being beaten with sticks one after another. Soon, sweat appeared on King Rui's forehead and his lower body turned bright red.
Chu Ci stood aside, watching anxiously. She tore off a piece of snow-white lining from the lining of her clothes, rolled it up, and put it into Prince Rui's mouth. "Well, don't be disgusted. Just bite it first and don't hurt yourself."
King Rui nodded, "It's okay!"
Chu Ci looked at Prince Rui who was being beaten. In her two lifetimes, no one had ever been so kind to her. In fact, if he just handed himself over, there would be no problem at all.
Lin Feng glanced around to make sure there was no one around. He then glanced at the eunuch who was beating the man with the stick and said, "I don't care who you are. Remember, my prince is Prince Rui. If something really happens, we'll see who will be the first to suffer."
Lin Feng stared at them fiercely. The young eunuch wiped the sweat from his forehead, but the board continued to hit them. It looked like there was no difference, but Chu Ci could see that the board no longer had the ruthlessness of taking lives.
In the end, Prince Rui couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.
Lin Feng carried Prince Rui on his back, and Chu Ci followed behind. The three of them left like this. Soon, this incident changed the entire palace.
Lin Feng carefully placed Prince Rui on the carriage, went out to drive the carriage, and started driving quickly towards the palace.
Chu Ci looked at the frail appearance of Prince Rui in the carriage and tears fell from her eyes. "In fact, if you had handed me over, you wouldn't have to suffer this."
Prince Rui closed his eyes, in so much pain that he dared not even breathe. Beads of sweat fell like money, and his tone of voice was very weak. "This prince disdains it."
Chu Ci sighed and simply lifted up the clothes on Prince Rui. "I'll relieve your pain first. The wound needs to be treated after we return home."
Chu Ci gave Prince Rui a few injections, and Prince Rui felt that he was able to recover, at least he didn't have to control his breathing.
When they arrived at Prince Rui's house, Lin Feng carried Prince Rui to his bedroom.
Prince Rui lay on the bed with a pale face, and it seemed that he was exhaling more than inhaling.
Chu Ci looked at the man in front of her. Having lived two lives, she didn't want to give her heart to him, but now it seems that it is not impossible.
"Go find a pair of scissors." Chu Ci ordered Lin Feng, "I need to cut her clothes into pieces so I can treat her wound."
Lin Feng quickly handed the scissors to Chu Ci. Chu Ci walked to the bedside and looked at Prince Rui who was lying in bed. "Your Highness Prince Rui, I need to cut off all the clothes around your wound before I can treat it. I'll give you some anesthetic first."
Chu Ci seriously took off a wooden hairpin from his head, twisted it, and broke it into two pieces.
Chu Ci held the hairpin to Prince Rui's nose and asked, "What's this smell like?"
Prince Rui was puzzled and took a deep sniff, but didn't smell anything. Just as he was about to say there was no smell, his head tilted and he fainted.
Chu Ci took the calluses and began to cut his body, and took the silver needle and began to prick his body. After cleaning his wounds, he took out his purse, cut it open, poured out a packet of medicine powder from it, applied it directly on King Rui's body, and then began to bandage him.
By the time these things were done, Chu Ci was already sweating profusely.
"Lin Feng, I still have things to do. You stay here and look after your master." She handed the hairpin to Lin Feng. "The front half of this hairpin is an anesthetic, and the back half is a painkiller. Just smell them. Give it to your master now."
