"But this wasn't written by Li Quan after all. Isn't it a bad idea to frame someone so blatantly? If Li Quan confronts those people above, it's easy for him to slip up. Aren't you afraid that you'll be used by Li Quan and his group?"
"Heh." Zhu Yu sneered, "Seven or eight out of ten things written here are true. Before my wedding to you, my secret guards had already discovered that Li Quan and Lian Yongyuan were plotting to hire an assassin. It's just that the assassin they hired was captured by my secret guards on his way to Shengjing. He can't deny it!"
Lu Xiaoyun's eyes widened immediately as she glared angrily at Zhu Yu: "So, our so-called wedding was really just a scheme of yours?! Zhu Yu, how disgusting! You wanted to kill those people, but you used a woman like me as a pawn!"
Zhu Yu glanced at Lu Xiaoyun sideways and said, "That means you, Lu Xiaoyun, still have some use to you."
"Ha, so I should thank you? You're the one who should thank me!"
"Rude! Don't forget, Li Quan and his men didn't have time to make their move, but the wedding assassination did happen. We still haven't found out who ordered the Fengyue Gang."
Lu Xiaoyun looked at the petite person on the bed with a very displeased expression.
Zhu Yu stared calmly at Lu Xiaoyun. After a moment, his tone softened: "In short, no matter what, we are getting married. Although I have my own plans, it's not what you think."
"I have always respected the Duke of Zhenguo, and there would never be any 'the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked' kind of thing. I have never thought of getting rid of the Lu family. I have said this once, and I will say it for the last time today. I will not say it again. Lu Xiaoyun, I hope you remember this."
Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Lu Xiaoyun's expression softened a bit.
"Then, where is the assassin who was captured by Feng Yan and the others? We can have him as a 'witness'. With both witnesses and physical evidence, the crimes of Li Quan and Lian Yongyuan will be truly confirmed."
Zhu Yu nodded: "Yes, lock him up in a villa on the outskirts of Beijing. Feng Yan knows how to do it."
Lu Xiaoyun nodded, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Zhu Yu glanced at her face and scoffed, "Your injuries haven't fully healed yet, and you're already running around everywhere. Lu Xiaoyun, that's my body; don't damage it!"
"Ha," Lu Xiaoyun rolled her eyes at him, "This is my body too, but what about you? Didn't the system tell you to please others to earn points? Instead, you've left my body riddled with holes. Zhu Yu, if you give me this broken body before we switch back, you can forget about getting a whole body!"
Zhu Yu pursed his lips: "Alright, I understand."
Lu Xiaoyun looked at the frail body on the bed and felt a pang of heartache; that was her future body.
That bastard Zhu Yu always acts so arrogant towards her, but she can't do anything about it.
How frustrating!
Zhu Yu said shyly, "Lu Xiaoyun, thank you for today."
Lu Xiaoyun smiled faintly, and after having her meal with Zhu Yu, she left Feixue Garden.
Back in the study, he gave Feng Yan the paper Zhu Yu had written, told him how to do it, and then picked up a book from the study to read.
Feng Yan glanced at the words on it briefly before accepting the order and leaving, seemingly having no doubts about the actions of "Prince An".
After Zhu Yu read a few books to Lu Xiaoyun these past few days, she found that the vertical traditional Chinese characters didn't seem so difficult anymore, mainly because she could punctuate them herself.
Then I discovered something strange: although I read a lot of books, I could remember the contents of each book after reading it only once.
Could it be that because she occupied Zhu Yu's body, she also inherited his photographic memory?
Thinking this, Lu Xiaoyun quickly flipped through a book she had never read before. An hour later, she finished the book. She closed her eyes, thought about the contents of a certain page and a certain line in the book, and then opened it to check. It was indeed exactly the same!
Lu Xiaoyun was overjoyed; God was being kinder to her more and more.
Goodness, she has a photographic memory! If she had this skill in modern times, she would have been a famous prodigy by now, and passing the college entrance exam, postgraduate entrance exam, and doctoral entrance exam would be a piece of cake for her.
At 9 PM, Jiang Chuan reported that the three old women had all frozen to death.
Without even looking up, Lu Xiaoyun ordered the body to be thrown into a mass grave.
Jiang Chuan couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, these three old women were brought by Consort Duan after all. Will the Consort...?"
"No." After being humiliated by the old emperor today, Consort Duan had no mind to care about others.
Nothing was said that night.
The next day, before dawn, Lu Xiaoyun took Jiang Chuan to the morning court.
It was still dark, and the palace gates had not yet opened. A few civil and military officials stood at the palace gate, waiting for the eunuchs who would carry the lanterns to lead them into the palace for the morning court.
Lu Xiaoyun's arrival undoubtedly caused a stir.
Some greeted her respectfully, while others hated her so much they wanted to scratch her to death if their companions hadn't stopped them.
But because of his status, he could only curse him in his heart.
Outside the palace gates, all was silent.
Crown Prince Zhu Zhi slowly stepped down from the carriage, glanced around at everyone, smiled slightly, walked up to Lu Xiaoyun, and looked her up and down: "Oh my, Fourth Brother, you're lucky to be alive. What, you're healed and all better now, so eager to come to court?"
Lu Xiaoyun lifted her eyelids and said indifferently, "Well, thanks to my elder brother, the Crown Prince, I didn't die."
Zhu Zhi laughed heartily and patted Lu Xiaoyun's shoulder heavily.
Lu Xiaoyun almost vomited blood from his slap. She reasonably suspected that he wanted to kill her with one slap, but unfortunately, he lacked internal strength and his body had been ripped out too badly, leaving him weak!
Without making a sound, Lu Xiaoyun grabbed Zhu Zhi's hand off his shoulder and instead of letting go, she tightened her grip.
