Chapter 45 Lifesaver (Fifth Update: Please Subscribe)

"Wait a minute, didn't you say you don't know Yu Xiuyue?" Ling Chu looked at Prince Jing suspiciously.

"This... Miss Ling, is this really Yu Xiuyue, the female puppet who had sex with me?"

Prince Jing's face looked strange.

Ling Chu nodded, "It's her."

"But didn't you say you don't know her?"

Prince Jing looked confused, "But I didn't know she was Yu Xiuyue."

Ling Chu frowned. He didn't know the name, but he had seen the person before?

When Princess Jing saw the portrait, her eyes were full of surprise.

Unexpectedly, Miss Ling was very good at painting. At first glance, the people in this painting looked like real people.

If she wasn't worried about her son, she would really want to study this painting technique.

Princess Jing discovered that she did not know which family the girl in the painting was from.

"Why don't you tell me quickly what's going on?" Prince Jing slapped his son on the back of the head again.

Prince Jing stared at Prince Jing with a plaintive look on his face, "Father, can you stop hitting me on the head all the time? What if I get knocked unconscious?"

Prince Jing glanced at him with disgust, "You are as stupid as you should be if you don't fight."

Could it be that when this son was born, his brain fell into his mother’s womb and she forgot to take it out? Otherwise, how could you not even know whether you recognize a girl?

Prince Jing almost vomited blood when he saw the disgust in his father's eyes.

If it weren't for his father, he would have beaten him to the point where even his mother wouldn't know who it was.

Princess Jing glared at her husband angrily, turned to Prince Jing and said, "Okay, tell me quickly, what is going on? Which girl is this from? How do you know her?"

"Concubine, I told you, I don't know this Yu Xiuyue." Prince Jing looked at his concubine helplessly.

Seeing everyone looking at him with confusion, Prince Jing frowned and said, "I really don't know this Yu Xiuyue, but... I once saved her life."

The matter is very simple. About a month ago, Prince Jing took people out of the capital to go hunting. When it was time to rest midway, Prince Jing went to the river to wash his hands and happened to see a girl falling into the water.

There were no guards around him at the time, and when he saw the girl struggling and almost sinking, Prince Jing couldn't bear to see a life lost like this, so he went into the water to save her.

"After I rescued the person, I found that she was still alive, so I left her on the bank of the river and left. Ah, by the way, if you don't believe it, you can ask Chang An."

Chang An saw the person in the portrait and recognized it, "There is indeed such a thing. When I found the prince, I happened to see him scooping the person up."

"So that's what happened, then why have I never heard of you mentioning it?" Princess Jing glared at him. His son had kept such a big thing a secret.

"Isn't this just what I was thinking about? It's not a big deal. I rescued the person and then left. I hurried to go hunting with the guards, and then I forgot about it."

This is indeed something Prince Jing can do. After all, in his eyes, this is not as important as hunting. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have rescued the person, then dropped them and left.

Princess Jing glared at Chang An with dissatisfaction, "The prince didn't say anything about such a big matter, so you kept it secret and kept silent."

Prince Jing's face sank. If Jing'er failed to save her, and something unexpected happened instead, the guards like them wouldn't be alive.

When Chang An saw that Prince Jing and Princess were dissatisfied, he complained in his heart, but he couldn't actually be blamed for this matter. It was the prince who didn't let him say anything.

Seeing Chang An's eyes pleading for help, Prince Jing knew that it would be impossible not to make this matter clear.

"Prince father and concubine, I don't let Chang An talk about this." Seeing the glares from the two of them, Prince Jing sneered, "I'm worried that if my concubine knows about this, she will force me to kill him." I wanted to marry him back, so I asked Chang An to keep the matter a secret."

Ling Chu, "Then, did you see Yu Xiuyue again?"

Prince Jing shook his head, "No, I just met him once."

"Then besides you and Chang An, who else knows about this?"

"No, I was worried that it would cause trouble if word spread about it, so I didn't mention it to anyone."

Princess Jing frowned. It would be difficult to deal with this matter if it got out.

When the son rescues someone, he inevitably comes into contact with the girl. Although saving people is a good thing, if this kind of thing spreads, outsiders will definitely talk about it.

In the eyes of outsiders, if a man and a woman have physical intimacy, the only option is marriage.

If a man does not want to marry a woman, in order to preserve her reputation, the woman may have no choice but to twist her hair and become a sister-in-law, even if she does not hang herself.

The son was born into a noble family, but due to circumstances, he could only become a playboy like his father who could only enjoy himself but could not make progress. Princess Jing felt guilty about this. To be honest, she really didn't want to force him to marry a girl he didn't want to marry.

Ling Chu could understand this.

However, things fell into confusion again.

Since Prince Jing has indeed never done anything to regret Yu Xiuyue, how did she die, and why did she get entangled with him, insisting that she was his crown prince?

Could it be that when Prince Jing saved her, they had a physical relationship, and the girl was seeking death for this?

And because she knew her status was not worthy of Prince Jing's Crown Prince and could not marry him, she wanted to become his Crown Princess after her death?

This seems to make sense.

However, Ling Chu always felt that things were not that simple.

When Yu Xiuyue mentioned Lu Chengliu, her eyes were full of admiration. If she guessed correctly, even if Lu Chengliu was not her husband, he should be her lover.

However, since Yu Xiuyue already had a lover, she should not easily seek death for Prince Jing.

Also, why did she suddenly become crazy when she mentioned Lu Chengliu. In addition, she also mentioned being deceived and being a heartless man.

I don’t know what kind of person Lu Chengliu is.

Ning Chuyi glanced at Ling Chu and saw that she was frowning so much that she could almost pinch a fly to death. "It’s useless to think about it now. I will ask someone to take the portrait out to investigate. It should not take long to get some clues."

Ling Chu sighed, and it could only be like this.

Only Yu Xiuyue herself knew the truth of the matter. If she could recover her memories before her death, she might be able to ask more questions.

Now we can only wait for the results of the Jinyiwei's investigation.

Prince Jing clasped his fists and saluted Ning Chuyi, "Brother Ning, I'll leave the matter to you."

He now hopes that Ning Chuyi can find out the truth of the matter as soon as possible and clear his name.

He is the lifesaver of the female puppet, not his husband!

Prince Jing feels that he is still young and does not want to die so early and be a puppet husband to Yu Xiuyue.

"Miss Ling, you have to take good care of that female puppet for you. Don't let her out again. It's scary."

Thinking of the strange things that happened to him recently, Prince Jing felt that the hairs on his body stood up one by one.

Ling Chu glanced at Prince Jing and saw that his eyes were blue, his feet were floating, and his forehead was black. She felt that something was wrong with him.

The fifth update is here. Seeing that I am working so hard to write and update, don't you want to spend your money quickly?
