The old emperor, annoyed, rubbed his temples: "Then kill them all! What's the point of keeping them alive? Are you suggesting we keep them to waste food? Fourth Prince, I've noticed you've become increasingly clueless after these past few months in Shengjing!"
Lu Xiaoyun pursed her lips: "Your subject obeys the decree."
The old emperor waved his hand, showing no patience to see him.
After Lu Xiaoyun left, the old emperor immediately ordered Zhang Zhongwei to convey an imperial decree, instructing the Duke of Ying to investigate how Liang Zhiyun and the others died.
Upon receiving the imperial edict, Duke Du Kaiyuan of England immediately led a group of men to Xizilin.
Lu Xiaoyun didn't want to stay in the palace either. Seeing the old emperor wave his hand, she bowed and withdrew.
The night was pitch black.
Lu Xiaoyun did not go to Xizi Forest, but instead sent Xi Yi to convey the emperor's decree.
She knew the emperor would most likely issue such an order, and these bandits deserved to die; they had committed arson, murder, robbery, and all sorts of evil deeds over the past year.
Lu Xiaoyun returned to the Prince An's residence, exhausted. It was past midnight, and Zhu Yu should be asleep. After thinking for a moment, she went back to her room.
Jiang Chuan was guarding the door. As soon as he saw Lu Xiaoyun, he stepped forward and took off her cloak. He looked at Lu Xiaoyun meaningfully and then glanced at the room.
"Your Highness, it's late, please rest." He said, walking to the side and opening the door to invite Lu Xiaoyun in.
Lu Xiaoyun glanced at Jiang Chuan and found his lewd grin rather inexplicable. With Jiang Chuan's brain, she was probably filled with some kind of mush again.
Upon seeing the person enter the house, Jiang Chuan immediately closed the door, did not go in to light a lamp, and went to sleep peacefully.
"You're back?" A familiar voice came from inside the house.
"Zhu Yu? What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you to go back and rest?" Lu Xiaoyun stepped forward and lit the glass lamp on the table.
The lights gradually illuminated the room, and Zhu Yu was actually lying on her bed?
"you?"
Zhu Yu patted the bed: "Come here, go to sleep."
Li Feng and the two old women carried it halfway before he ordered them to turn back.
"I'll take you back to Feixue Garden."
Zhu Yu was displeased. He had already offered himself up, and she was still thinking of sending him back: "No, this is my room, I'll sleep here."
Lu Xiaoyun frowned. That didn't seem wrong, but the problem was that their bodies had been swapped.
She hadn't rested all day and was quite tired: "Then I'll go sleep at Feixue Garden."
Zhu Yu's brow twitched: "If that's really the case, the number on this bracelet will probably skyrocket by a thousand tomorrow."
He stretched out his slender wrist to Lu Xiaoyun, looking aggrieved: "It's already at 10,288 points. You said you would help me switch our bodies back as soon as possible. Have you gone back on your word?"
"Lu Xiaoyun, you don't want to switch our bodies back, do you?"
Zhu Yu turned his head away, looking at the inside of the bed with a wronged expression, as if to say, "Hmph, you just want to keep me here."
Lu Xiaoyun stared at Zhu Yu's back speechlessly for a moment, then rummaged through the cabinet and pulled out a quilt: "Fine, fine, I won't send you back to Feixue Garden, and I won't go either. You go to sleep, I'll sleep on the couch for the night."
Zhu Yu turned his back to Lu Xiaoyun and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
He turned around and saw Lu Xiaoyun had made up the couch and was about to lie down.
She sighed softly and said, "Never mind, I'll sleep on the couch. Carry me to the couch."
Lu Xiaoyun looked at Zhu Yu in confusion: "Didn't you just say this was your room, your bed?"
What's going on now?
“That’s true, but this bed is too small. You’re currently carrying my body. I’m tall and handsome. If you sleep on this bed for one night, you’ll be in pain all over. Tomorrow you also have to accompany Ayan to the palace to give the Empress Dowager acupuncture.”
He then pointed to Lu Xiaoyun's arm, which was wrapped in gauze: "Your hand is injured. That, that's my body."
"Or are you changing your mind and no longer want to switch us back?"
Lu Xiaoyun gritted her teeth: "Fine, I'll take good care of my injury and make sure you can hold your wife in the future."
Zhu Yu raised his head: "Yes, that's how it is."
Lu Xiaoyun rolled her eyes, picked Zhu Yu up from the bed, and wanted to just throw him onto the bed, but then she remembered that it was her own body, so she gave up.
Zhu Yu wrapped his arms around her neck, tilted his head back, and nestled into her embrace: "Walk slowly, your wound hurts."
Lu Xiaoyun looked down at Zhu Yu in her arms and thought to herself, "You didn't feel pain after all that running from Feixue Garden to the front yard, then back to Feixue Garden, and then back again? Oh, now that it's just a few steps away, you feel pain?"
Zhu Yu blinked his bright, sparkling eyes at Lu Xiaoyun.
Lu Xiaoyun hesitated for a moment, slowed her pace, carefully placed the person on the couch, and covered her with the quilt.
Zhu Yu curled up in the blankets and stretched out a slender white wrist to her: "Go on, go wash up."
In order to get her body back as soon as possible, Lu Xiaoyun endured it.
Soon, the sound of running water came from the bathroom. Zhu Yu pursed his lips and immediately closed his eyes when he heard Lu Xiaoyun open the door and come out.
Lu Xiaoyun glanced at Zhu Yu, who was already asleep, turned off the light, walked to the bedside, took off her coat, and lay down.
She was so tired that she fell asleep very soon.
In the darkness, Zhu Yu opened his eyes, turned his head to look at the person who was sleeping soundly, and stirred slightly.
He moved again and heard Lu Xiaoyun's long, even breathing.
She must be exhausted.
When Lu Xiaoyun woke up the next day, she was surprised to find Zhu Yu lying next to her.
She actually fell asleep in Zhu Yu's arms again!
Holy crap!
Zhu Yu was staring intently at the tall and imposing little woman in his arms with his beautiful phoenix eyes.
Lu Xiaoyun sat up straight immediately.
"Awake?" Zhu Yu looked at her with a smile.
"You, you, you, how did you end up sleeping in my bed? Why are you sleeping with me again?"
Zhu Yu blushed: "It was clearly you who insisted on carrying me to bed late at night, and I even resisted. How can you turn around and blame me after waking up?"
"Impossible. I was very tired yesterday and fell asleep quickly. Would I not know if I carried you to bed?"
Zhu Yu said without any guilt: "I'm covered in injuries, as you've noticed. I can't even stand up, so how could I possibly climb into your bed?"
Lu Xiaoyun blinked. It seemed to make sense. A few days ago, he was beaten to the point of near death by Consort Duan. After finally waking up, he was poisoned by the fat woman.
These past two days, he has needed Li Feng's help to get up whenever he wants, as he really can't stand up on his own. Moreover, the key issue is that the quilt she laid on the tatami mat yesterday has also been moved to the bed.
If Zhu Yu ran to her bed on his own, how do you explain the blanket?
In his current condition, there is absolutely no way he could lift a blanket.
So, it really was she who carried Zhu Yu to bed?
Lu Xiaoyun looked at Zhu Yu with a puzzled expression.
Zhu Yu nodded to her: "This is my body. I used to have a sleepwalking problem."
Lu Xiaoyun: "..."
