Chapter 162 Good Fortune and Great Destiny
Yan Yue felt the coldness in the Crown Prince's eyes and immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly shut his mouth.
Lu Yangyang didn't seem to care, but his comment made her start to feel a little itchy on her face. She tried to resist the urge to raise her hand, and instead started picking at her fingers with both hands to distract herself.
"It's nothing serious. I've just used some medicine these past few days, and the wound hasn't healed yet. When we were playing on the street, I changed into a mask from a stall. When I jumped over the wall of the Great Buddha Temple, the patrolmen spotted me. I had to pull off the mask and throw it away to attract attention. Then I didn't notice the wound on my face and accidentally scratched it, breaking the skin a little. It's not serious." Lu Yangyang didn't want to look like this. "But I haven't washed my hands and I don't have a mirror, so it's hard to apply medicine. I have to leave it like this for now."
After saying that, she looked at them and added, "If you find it scary, turn around?"
"No, no, Yangyang, don't misunderstand. I was just concerned about whether you were hurt," Yan Yue hurriedly explained.
"Yangyang, it's all my fault. Does it hurt a lot?" Sheng Yunjiao looked at Lu Yangyang with guilt. At first, she also thought Lu Yangyang's scar was a bit ugly, but after learning how Lu Yangyang got injured, she couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
Although at first she wanted to get her involved in dealing with Sheng Yunzhu, wasn't it actually her desire to get closer to Lu Yangyang?
There were quite a few young ladies in the Duke of Sheng's mansion, but for some reason, they all got along well with Sheng Yunzhu and didn't like to talk to her. As time went on, she became more and more determined to oppose Sheng Yunzhu, to the point that the young ladies in the Duke of Sheng's mansion simply didn't like her.
When she met Lu Yangyang, she actually wanted to see Sheng Yunzhu make a fool of herself and mock Lu Yangyang, and also wanted Lu Yangyang to confront Sheng Yunzhu. However, as soon as Lu Yangyang opened her mouth, she was attracted to her because she had seen Sheng Yunzhu suffer a setback in a long time.
At that time, she never expected that Lu Yangyang would treat her so well, especially today. If Lu Yangyang hadn't noticed something was wrong in time and been taken away by human traffickers, she really didn't know what would have happened to her.
"It's okay, I'm used to it. Don't talk about me. Tell me quickly, what happened? How did you get taken away in such a short time?"
Lu Yangyang was indeed in a lot of pain. The medicine Wen Yu gave her was really poisonous, causing her to be unable to sleep all night and to be in a daze every day.
But she's suffered all sorts of injuries since she was little, so she just endures the pain and it passes.
So I don't really care.
"I..." Sheng Yunjiao was about to speak when she was suddenly interrupted by the Crown Prince.
"Where is the medicine?" the prince asked.
"What medicine?" Lu Yangyang asked, somewhat confused.
"Medicine for the wound." The prince looked at her face.
Lu Yangyang understood, but she didn't quite understand why the Crown Prince was asking this. She took out her small bag, which contained several bottles and jars, and handed one of the small wooden jars to the Crown Prince.
The prince opened the small wooden jar, inside which was a small box of light green powder. He stared at the powder for a moment, then took out a handkerchief and gently wiped away the blood that had flowed to one side of Lu Yangyang's face.
Lu Yangyang then realized that the Crown Prince was going to help her apply the medicine.
"Your Highness, I don't need to apply the medicine now..." Lu Yangyang was a little embarrassed to trouble him and tried to refuse.
But the Crown Prince said gently, "You regularly give me acupuncture, and I have no way to repay you. This is just applying some medicine. Don't move."
"Oh." Lu Yangyang had no choice but to sit up straight and move forward a little to cooperate, then took out the small brush she used to apply medicine and handed it to him.
The Crown Prince used a brush to apply some medicinal powder to Lu Yangyang with gentle movements.
The carriage was completely silent until the Crown Prince finished applying the medicine. Yan Yue sighed, "It's fortunate that my cousin had a steady hand. If it were me, I probably would have smeared the medicine in your mouth."
Sheng Yunjiao quietly kicked him: "If you can't speak properly, then shut up. Do you think His Highness is as impulsive as you?"
"You have the nerve to talk back to me? What about you? How did you end up being kidnapped like that?" Yan Yue raised his hand to touch his still burning face, glared at Sheng Yunjiao, and thought, "That brat really went all out."
Looking at his slightly flushed profile, Sheng Yunjiao felt a little guilty and explained in a low voice, "I was just engrossed in watching the acrobatics when someone suddenly tapped me and said I dropped my purse. Of course, I turned around to pick it up. There were a lot of people around, so I took a few steps forward, and then I felt a pain in my neck, and then I don't remember anything else."
Hearing her say that, Lu Yangyang leaned over and parted her hair at the back, and sure enough, she saw a patch of red on the back of her neck. "You were knocked unconscious by a karate chop and then taken away. That person was probably afraid that you would wake up, so when they put you in the box, they took off your mask and put some sleeping pills on you."
"This is outrageous! Why did so many people have to target me?" Sheng Yunjiao couldn't help but mutter.
Yan Yue chimed in, "Maybe it's because you're strong?"
Sheng Yunjiao's face turned green instantly. She didn't care about the occasion or the fact that the Crown Prince was still there. She stomped hard on Yan Yue's instep.
Yan Yue winced in pain, and Lu Yangyang couldn't help but laugh out loud.
At this moment, the carriage stopped, and Lu Yangyang took out the butterfly mask she had been wearing recently and put it on before following Yan Yue and Sheng Yunjiao to get off the carriage.
As she reached the door, she suddenly remembered something, turned around and looked at the Crown Prince, "Your Highness?"
"I have other matters to attend to. You should go inside with Yan Yue first. The release of Kongming lanterns is about to begin. It will be more beautiful to watch from the tower," the Crown Prince said gently.
"Oh, okay." Lu Yangyang nodded, then smiled at the Crown Prince and pointed to her face: "Thank you for your help, Your Highness."
The crown prince also smiled slightly.
Lu Yangyang jumped off the carriage and discovered that they had already entered the temple. Princess Liduan rushed over: "Yangyang, Jiaojiao, are you alright? I was so scared! How could there be human traffickers? Damn it, there are so many people, it's so hard to find them. Thank goodness!"
The temple was brightly lit with lights everywhere today. Princess Li Duan was relieved to see that the two of them were alright.
Then, noticing that Yan Yue's face seemed a little red, she asked in surprise, "Yan Xiaoyue, what happened to your face? Did someone hit you?"
Yan Yue's face darkened.
Lu Yangyang and Sheng Yunjiao suppressed their laughter and remained silent.
"Let's hurry up to the tower. It's the best spot to see the Kongming lanterns, and we can release them together. Let's go!" Princess Li Duan urged. "I found out before we came today. Luckily we made it in time. It just shows how lucky we are."
Sheng Yunjiao sighed, "Yes, yes, we're really lucky today, but we still owe it all to Yangyang."
"Let's go, let's go," Lu Yangyang urged them.
However, as they were walking, he suddenly remembered something and asked Yan Yue, "Why did His Highness come to Dafosi Temple today? There are so many people. I thought he wouldn't like this kind of occasion."
“My cousin comes every year. Actually, the Kongming lanterns at Dafosi Temple are for my cousin to pray for my aunt, the late Empress. But to avoid wasting money and resources, they are only released once every three years.”
"The Mid-Autumn Festival is actually the anniversary of my aunt's death."
“My aunt didn’t come after the Mid-Autumn Festival…” Li Duan started to say but then stopped abruptly.
