The maid pursed her lips, lowered her head and whispered, "I would like to speak to Your Highness about this matter privately."

Zhu Yu frowned slightly.

Lu Yuyan stood up and straightened the hem of his robe: "You two chat, I'll go to the medicine storehouse to see how my pills are doing."

Lu Xiaoyun nodded and waved for Jiang Chuan to lead the others away.

Before leaving, Jiang Chuan looked at Zhu Yu expectantly, wondering why the princess didn't avoid him. Women in the inner court shouldn't interfere in politics.

"Your Highness." Li Feng looked at his young mistress expectantly and reached out to help her.

Zhu Yu waved his hand: "You can leave now."

Seeing that the "princess" was not leaving, the maid mustered her courage and looked up at Lu Xiaoyun, then at Zhu Yu, who was sitting quietly to the side and showed no intention of leaving.

Lu Xiaoyun picked up her teacup, took a small sip, and said calmly, "Speak up about what you saw. There's nothing I can hide from my princess."

Jiang Chuan heard this sentence before he walked out of the courtyard gate.

A smile played on his lips. Listen to these sweet words, and look at how doting the prince is on his princess.

Sure enough, the prince was won over by the princess.

He got such a great deal on that king-size bed!

It's just that the princess is too weak. These past few days, the prince has been so pent up. Although he sleeps with the princess every day, he is still mindful of her small body and dares not touch her.

So every morning when he came to help the prince get up, the young prince looked so proud and arrogant.

He saw it all.

Tsk tsk!

You must have been holding it in for so long.

In fact, Physician Jiang had suggested that the prince take a few concubines to relieve his pent-up desires, but the prince refused.

Hey, Your Highness is quite the romantic.

It's made him want to find a wife.

He glanced resentfully at Lili, who had led the group of servants and old women from Feixueyuan away into the distance.

The girl didn't even glance at him when she walked past him just now.

Although Mr. Lu is a bit of a slacker, his medical skills are top-notch. In another ten days or so, I reckon the two of them will be able to sleep together.

Hehe, by then they'll be having sex every night, and soon they'll have a young prince and a young princess.

Oh, right, we need to enlarge the small kitchen in Feixueyuan. Who knows how many times we'll have to call for water every night?

Hmm, not bad. I'll go talk to Li Feng about this in a bit and see how to improve it.

Wu Chuan slapped Jiang Chuan on the forehead as he grinned foolishly: "Hey, what are you laughing at all by yourself?"

Jiang Chuan mysteriously put his arm around Wu Chuan's shoulder and said, "Hey, Wu Chuan, have you noticed any changes in the Prince and Princess's room?"

Wu Chuan scratched his head: "What changes?"

Aside from the time when the princess was poisoned, and he thought Mr. Lu had poisoned the prince and princess, he rushed in without thinking. He had never been inside the princess's room since then, and he didn't know what had changed.

But he could still go into the prince's room from time to time, as long as the prince gave the order, and he didn't notice any changes.

Jiang Chuanchao rolled his eyes at him and lowered his voice: "Idiot! How did you become the second-in-command of the secret guards? The prince moved all the soft couches from the princess's and his own rooms so that he could sleep in the same bed with the princess. Didn't you see?"

"Huh?" He hadn't really noticed that surveying terrain was something Xi Yi was good at.

He was good at gathering information.

"I asked Butler Yuan, and he said it was moved to the main kitchen to be used as firewood."

Wu Chuan shuddered: "Your Highness is too extravagant! That, that's a pear wood couch! It's very expensive!"

Jiang Chuan scoffed at him: "That's why you can't find a wife."

Wu Chuan snorted and nodded at Li Feng's departing figure: "You act like you've won over little Li Feng."

Jiang Chuan choked, this girl just doesn't get it, it's giving him a headache.

He needs to learn from the prince how to win a woman's heart.

There's no soft couch in his room...

Jiang Chuan nudged Wu Chuan on the shoulder: "Hey, what do you think should be the name of the young prince? Zhu Bao? No way, too tacky. Zhu Xin? Forget it, even worse, it might sound like 'pig's heart'."

Wu Chuan's lips twitched: "How do you know it's the young prince? What if it's the young princess?"

"No, no, no, the first one will definitely be the young prince. Anyway, I'll train him after the princess gives birth to him. I can do everything: climbing trees to steal eggs, catching turtles in the river, horse racing in the spring, and snowball fights in the winter. I guarantee I'll train him to be very strong."

Jiang Chuan put his arm around Wu Chuan's shoulder: "If it's a little princess, then you, Wu Chuan, will take care of her. You can teach her everything, from embroidery to playing the zither and painting."

Wu Chuan's eyes widened: "Why? I'm the number two secret guard of the Prince An's mansion! My hands are for archery and horseback riding. Who says the little princess can't shoot arrows and ride horses? Our Prince An's little princess is different from other people's daughters!"

Jiang Chuan snorted: "Fine, fine, then the second one is the little princess, okay? Anyway, I like the little prince. I've decided that from today onwards, I will sincerely pray to Buddha every day that the princess will give birth to a little prince as her first child."

Wu Chuan scoffed at him: "Maybe the prince likes the little princess. She looks like the princess and must be a stunning beauty."

Neither of them would give in.

Years later, their prince, in the body of the princess, howled for three days and three nights before giving birth to twin boys. He knew how Jiang Chuan had prayed, but before he could even finish his postpartum confinement, their bodies were switched back.

Then Jiang Chuan was chased and beaten for several streets.

That's a story for another time.

In Feixue Garden, the maid slowly spoke: "My name is Qinxue. My master's family is the Xie family, a wealthy merchant family in Luoyang. We live on Yongyang Street in Luohe City, about ten zhang away from the main gate of the Fengyue Gang."

“A month ago, I remember it was around midnight on the 28th of November. The young lady of the house suddenly developed a high fever in the night, and the family doctor took leave. I was ordered by the master to go out to find a doctor. Just as I was about to open the door, I saw a figure vaguely putting something down into the Fengyue Gang’s courtyard with a thin rope.”

“This kind of thing happens often, so I didn’t take it too seriously at the time and rushed off to find a doctor.”

Zhu Yu had no recollection of that day and asked, "It was already very dark at midnight, how did you manage to see so clearly?"

The maid Qinxue said, "It snowed heavily that day, and it was as bright as day even at midnight. Miss played in the snow with Master and Madam all afternoon, and that's why she developed a high fever at night. So I remember Zhenzhen, that's right, it was November 28th."

Lu Xiaoyun asked, "Are you sure it's a kite?"

“I didn’t know at first, but half a month ago someone arrested the second leader of the Fengyue Gang. I learned from him that they used kites to send messages. I also heard that he was a person close to His Highness Prince An. After thinking about it, I made the connection.”

Lu Xiaoyun was taken aback. Feng Yan was supposed to be interrogating someone inside the Fengyue Gang's house. How did Qin Xue know that?

Zhu Yu paused, looking at the maid. Although she was severely injured and pale, her breathing was shallow, indicating that she was quite skilled.

Seeing Zhu Yu's expression, Lu Xiaoyun knew what he was thinking and asked, "Do you know martial arts?"
