"Li Feng," Zhu Yu called out.

"Miss." Li Feng pushed open the door and entered.

Has the prince returned?

"Yes, I've been back for a while, but Jiang Chuan said that the Prince is still in his study and hasn't come out yet. He probably still has official business to attend to. Miss, would you like to have some food first? Are you hungry?"

"No need, we'll wait for Your Highness."

Li Feng sweetly agreed, "Okay, Miss and Prince's relationship is getting better and better."

Zhu Yu frowned. Official business? Impossible.

The Northern Army has all been handed over, and Li Quan, the Prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, and Lian Yongyuan, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, who were sent to the Dali Temple prison by her, along with their nine clans, have also been brought to justice.

As for other official duties, her father probably won't assign her any more.

Therefore, Lu Xiaoyun must be avoiding him.

Hmph, he knew it. Lu Xiaoyun was just shy because she didn't know how to face her feelings for him.

He's a man, so he has to push her a bit.

Zhu Yu's eyes flickered, and he whispered a few words to Li Feng.

Upon hearing this, Li Feng's lips twitched, and her eyes widened in disbelief: "Miss, are you sure? You're not joking with me, are you?"

Zhu Yu's face hardened: "Do I look like I'm joking?"

Li Feng was completely baffled; she had never heard of any matriarch making such a request.

She felt that her young lady must have been possessed by an evil spirit.

But she couldn't disobey her mistress's orders.

Despite being treated like an idiot and a wicked servant by the servants of the Prince An's mansion, Li Feng issued a series of orders to the servants and old women in Feixue Garden through coercion and enticement.

In the study, Lu Xiaoyun felt a heat on the ring on her hand. Looking down, she saw the numbers on it changing from one moment to the next.

In a short while, it went from - points to - points.

What did Zhu Yu do this time?

Now, who in this mansion dares to scold Zhu Yu to his face? Don't they know that this "Prince An" cares a lot about his "Princess Consort"?

"Sister." Lu Yuyan gently knocked on the door outside the study.

"Come in." Lu Xiaoyun's voice was terribly hoarse.

Lu Yuyan pushed open the door and entered the room, which was pitch black. He quickly lit the glass lamp on the table, and the dim light illuminated the person in front of him.

Lu Xiaoyun closed her eyes uncomfortably. She looked extremely haggard and just slumped in the chair.

Lu Yuyan was startled: "Sister, what's wrong? What happened? They said you've been acting strangely ever since you came back from the palace, Sister..."

Lu Xiaoyun shook her head, tilted her head back and poured the now-cold tea into her mouth, only then did she feel much more awake.

"What time is it?"

"It's around nine o'clock at night. Sister, you haven't had dinner yet, have you?"

Lu Xiaoyun nodded gently: "Yes, is Zhu Yu awake?"

"I woke up early and was waiting for you to have dinner together."

Lu Xiaoyun got up from the chair, washed her face, and said, "Let's go."

"Sister, are you alright?" Lu Yuyan was a little worried when he saw that her complexion didn't look good.

"It's nothing." It's better for Ayan to stay silent about this for now.

After leaving the palace, Lu Yuyan went for a stroll in the streets and bought some things he needed before returning to the Prince An's residence to check on Zhu Yu's injuries at Feixue Garden.

Seeing the dark circles under Zhu Yu's eyes, she knew he probably hadn't slept much last night while waiting for his sister.

Zhu Yu's body belonged to his older sister, so he had to do everything in his power to help her recover. Without hesitation, he added a sleep aid to the medicine that Li Feng was decocting.

Zhu Yu fell asleep shortly after drinking it. Before his eyelids could stay open any longer, he glared at Lu Yuyan several times.

Seeing that his elder sister was unwilling to say more, Lu Yuyan did not ask any further questions, after all, his elder sister's status was different now.

"How is the maid Xi Yi brought back yesterday? Can she be saved?"

Lu Yuyan nodded: "Yes, she lost too much blood and had multiple injuries. Fortunately, Xi Yi stopped the bleeding in time. I went to see her after I got back yesterday, stitched up her wounds to stop the bleeding, and also managed to get her some blood transfusions. Her life has been saved, but it will probably take a few more days for her to wake up."

Lu Xiaoyun nodded. The bandits had all been wiped out, and the maid's life had been saved. From now on, she could stay by Zhu Yu's side and take care of him together with Li Feng.

“Sister.” Recalling the way Zhu Yu looked at his sister during lunch today, Lu Yuyan spoke up, but then hesitated.

Lu Xiaoyun turned to look at Lu Yuyan with a puzzled expression: "What is it that makes our Ayan hesitate?"

"I think Zhu Yu seems to have feelings for you. Sister, you should think this through. Zhu Yu has offended too many people. You saw it yourself, even Liang Zhiyun, a mere third-rank commander of the Five Cities Army, dared to kill the dignified Prince An of the Great Zhou."

Lu Xiaoyun said, "I know what I'm doing."

"Why don't I step in and get you two back to your original bodies as soon as possible? Ever since Zhu Yu saved Feng Yan and was flogged by Consort Duan, many people in the Prince An's mansion have changed their opinion of him. It shouldn't be difficult to get back to your original bodies."

Lu Xiaoyun gave a soft "hmm".

"Sister, please imitate Zhu Yu's handwriting and write a letter of divorce as soon as possible. After the body is returned to normal, my brother and I will leave Shengjing City. With my medical skills, I can support you."

Lu Xiaoyun didn't know how to tell Ayan. If it were before, she would have agreed to Ayan without hesitation. But today she learned about Consort Duan's background and how difficult Zhu Yu's life had been these past few years.

And his body was covered in wounds.

The ring felt a surge of heat again, and its value increased by ten points.

She quickened her pace and walked towards Feixue Garden.

When Lu Yuyan saw that Lu Xiaoyun not only refused but was eager to see Zhu Yu, he quickly grabbed her wrist and stared straight at her, as if trying to see into her eyes.

"Sister, you...you haven't fallen for Zhu Yu too, have you? Sister, you can't! Think about how he treated the original owner of this body, and how he treated you when you first transmigrated. And think about it, how many people in the Great Zhou court are on Zhu Yu's side?"

“Sister, if you choose to stand on Zhu Yu’s side, the road ahead will be full of thorns. There was one on the wedding day, one five days ago, and another yesterday. In just half a month, you have already been attacked three times.”

“Now that you have no martial arts skills at all, do you think you can escape every time? Do you want to live your life from now on? Sister, we have finally been reborn. It is not worth sacrificing your life for such a volatile prince.”

"He treats you badly!"

Seeing that her older sister remained silent, Lu Yuyan grew anxious: "Zhu Yu has done so many evil things to you and the original owner of this body. This dog of a man is not even human!"

"He can't just realize he's wrong now and change his ways to erase all his past mistakes and dream of being with you. Sister, be rational, a man like that isn't worth it!"
