My husband, who abandoned his father and kept his son, actually wants me to be his concubine.

Chapter 152 It's Your Merit to Save His Highness the Crown Prince

Banxia shook her head and said, "His Highness has just fallen into a deep sleep. His life is not in danger, but he is seriously injured and needs to rest and recuperate for a long time."

Lu Jinshi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."

In the past, Rong Yi would wake up whenever she made a sound.

Lu Jinshi got up from the bed and looked at Banxia, ​​saying, "I heard that a female physician used a miraculous medicine to treat His Highness the Crown Prince this time. I suppose it was you. Thank you, Miss."

As Lu Jinshi spoke, he bowed deeply to Banxia.

Banxia chuckled at Lu Jinshi, "Since you know that I saved His Highness the Crown Prince, why do you say that it was because you and His Highness were separated, and that you were no longer able to harm him, that His Highness woke up?"

Lu Jinshi glanced at Banxia in surprise.

Banxia smiled and said, "Miss Lu, I was thinking of using the opportunity of saving His Highness the Crown Prince to earn a good reputation for us women practicing medicine. You shouldn't try to compete with me for it... Give me the credit, and don't take the blame for whether you're a jinx or not."

"The claim that someone is a jinx to their husband is sometimes just a coincidence. Why do you insist on attaching this reputation to yourself?"

Lu Jinshi couldn't help but give Banxia a deep look. "What's your name?"

"My name is Bai Banxia."

Lu Jinshi smiled at Banxia and said, "Thank you for your advice, Miss Banxia. Saving His Highness the Crown Prince is your achievement, and I won't compete with you for it."

Banxia also smiled and said, "With you by His Highness's side, His Highness will be in a better mood and recover from his injuries sooner."

Lu Jinshi hummed in agreement.

Seeing that Rong Yi was still fast asleep and it was already completely dark outside, Lu Jinshi went to Zhang'er's courtyard in the side hall.

Little Zhang'er is already sleeping peacefully.

Lu Jinshi entered and stared blankly at Zhang'er.

Banxia's words made sense; it was indeed Banxia and the imperial physician who saved Rong Yi's life. However, Lu Jinshi still couldn't help but think of the possibility that she was destined to bring misfortune to her husband.

Lu Jinshi stayed with Zhang'er for a while and then heard the sounds coming from next door.

Lu Jinshi hurried into the bedchamber, only to see Rong Yi standing up and looking for her, "Jinshi... Lu Jinshi!"

Lu Jinshi heard Rong Yi's voice, went inside, and said, "I'm here."

Rong Yi hugged Lu Jinshi tightly and said, "I thought you had left again."

"I only went to see Zhang'er."

After Lu Jinshi finished speaking, he felt that Rong Yi seemed to have no strength left in his body, so Lu Jinshi quickly went to support Rong Yi and said, "You are still injured!"

Banxia shook her head and muttered under her breath, "Patients throughout history have always been disobedient, sigh."

Lu Jinshi heard Banxia's words and looked at her with great confusion.

The imperial physician and Lu Jinshi helped Rong Yi lie down on the bed. The imperial physician removed the gauze and saw that Rong Yi's hideous, scabbed wound was starting to bleed.

Banxia stepped forward and applied the medicine to Rong Yi, sighing, "Your Highness, can't you just be honest? I went through so much trouble to get this small bottle of medicine."

"Sister!" Bai Lian scolded Banxia repeatedly, "How dare you speak to His Highness the Crown Prince like that?"

Lu Jinshi said, "It's alright."

After applying the medicine to Rong Yi, Banxia stitched up the wound with needle and thread and then wrapped it with gauze, saying, "This injury requires at least a week of rest."

Lu Jinshi looked at Banxia curiously: "A week? How long is that?"

"Weekday? Is it the cycle of some star?" Banxia smiled and said, "Weekday is seven days. For seven days, one cannot go down to the ground."

Lu Jinshi replied, "Alright, I will keep an eye on Your Highness."

After taking a deep breath, Rong Yi gestured for everyone to leave, then pulled Lu Jinshi into his arms.

Lu Jinshi lay on the couch with Rong Yi and said, "Did you hear what Miss Banxia said? She must not get out of bed for seven days..."

Rong Yi smiled and said, "I heard you."

Lu Jinshi leaned against Rong Yi's chest and said, "You shouldn't have risked your life to save me."

Rong Yi said, "What's there to say about right or wrong? I didn't think about it properly at the time. My body was faster than my mind. I was only thinking that you couldn't get hurt."

Lu Jinshi said with tears in her eyes, "I didn't want anything to happen either, after all, I don't want Zhang'er to lose his mother at such a young age..."

Rong Yi said, "You only think about how Zhang'er can't lose his mother, but what about me? Can I lose you too?"

Lu Jinshi said, "You...you will definitely establish another crown princess soon after I die."

Rong Yi frowned and asked, "If I die, will you marry someone else?"

Lu Jinshi shook his head and said, "No."

Rong Yi chuckled lightly and said, "Then why do you think I would marry another Crown Princess? Even if it's just to protect Zhang'er, I would never take another Crown Princess."

Lu Jinshi said, "I don't believe you. You're usually so lecherous..."

Rong Yi whispered in Lu Jinshi's ear, "That only applies to you."

Lu Jinshi looked up at Rong Yi, "Rong Yi..."

Rong Yi hugged Lu Jinshi tightly and said, "Believe me, if it were you who got into trouble, I would definitely not be able to live a good life in this world anymore. So my body has to be faster than my mind. The moment I saw his knife, I didn't have any other thoughts. When I didn't have time to push you away, all I could do was protect you."

Lu Jinshi was deeply moved by Rong Yi's words.

Rong Yi said, "I thought that by taking this knife for you, you would finally know how I felt about you. I thought that no matter if I lived or died, you would be willing to marry me. But I never expected that when I woke up, you wouldn't even be the Crown Princess anymore."

Lu Jinshi said, "I... I thought this would wake you up, and it turns out that it did save your life."

Rong Yi said, "My life was saved by the imperial physician."

Lu Jinshi smiled and said, "That's what Miss Banxia said too. Miss Banxia has indeed made great contributions this time, and she should be rewarded properly."

Rong Yi said, "That's natural."

Lu Jinshi and Rong Yi talked for almost the entire night, and as dawn approached, they both fell asleep again.

When Lu Jinshi woke up again, he saw Empress Rong holding Zhang'er in the bedroom.

Lu Jinshi, without combing her hair or washing her face, knelt down in front of Empress Rong and said, "This subject greets Empress Rong."

Empress Rong smiled softly and said, "Please, no need for formalities."

"Thank you, Queen."

"Mother." Upon hearing Xiao Zhang'er's cry, Lu Jinshi went forward and hugged Xiao Zhang'er.

Empress Rong said, "You are pregnant, so it's best to avoid holding Zhang'er. A couple of days ago, His Majesty was just anxious and blamed you. Actually, His Majesty was just angry for a moment. Now that Yi'er has woken up, he knows he shouldn't blame you. As for the order to depose the Crown Princess, it was just an oral decree. The letter of divorce was not agreed to by Yi'er, so it doesn't count."

Lu Jinshi pursed his lips and said, "But Your Majesty, I..."

Empress Rong said, "The one who harmed Yi'er was not you, but Yi'er's third brother. You shouldn't blame yourself. His Majesty was confused for a moment. You and Yi'er still have Zhang'er and the child in your womb, so don't talk about divorce."
