Lu Xiaoyun's lips twitched: "Sleepwalking? Are you serious?"
"Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, ask Jiang Chuan."
Lu Xiaoyun was a little unsure, but how could she ask Jiang Chuan this? With his head full of yellow paint, what could he possibly say?
Why would you ask an attendant about something so private? Wouldn't that arouse his suspicion?
Zhu Yu pressed on while the iron was hot: "You really don't remember? You were half asleep, while I was sound asleep, but you insisted on carrying me over, saying that the bed was too small and that if I accidentally rolled onto the floor, your little body would suffer. You also said that one quilt wasn't enough and what if I caught a cold? My own body can't keep going through all that."
Lu Xiaoyun blinked again. She seemed to have had such a thought before going to bed last night, but she was too sleepy and the floor was heated, so she didn't think much of it and went to sleep.
Could this be a case of "thinking about something during the day and dreaming about it at night"?
In my dream, I even swam?
She frowned as she looked at Zhu Yu, who nodded firmly at her.
“I was about to disagree, but without saying a word, you picked me up with one hand and grabbed the blanket with the other and put me on the bed.”
Lu Xiaoyun believed it.
Okay, fine, go to sleep if you're going to sleep.
It's not like it's only been a day.
Did I hurt you when I hugged you?
Zhu Yu nodded, feeling wronged: "Look at my back, some of the wounds seem to have reopened. When you picked me up, you weren't gentle at all, and my whole body aches."
Lu Xiaoyun felt a pang of guilt: "Then you should go back to Feixue Garden to sleep tonight."
"Then you can sleep in Feixue Garden too." Zhu Yu pressed his whole body against Lu Xiaoyun's chest.
"No." Lu Xiaoyun objected, while shifting her body further away.
Zhu Yu moved even closer: "That bed is bigger, and it's more comfortable to sleep on than this one."
"I'm not going." Lu Xiaoyun firmly refused. The bed in this room is quite comfortable, isn't it?
Zhu Yu stared at her expectantly.
Lu Xiaoyun hugged him closer: "Move in a little more, or I'll fall off again."
Zhu Yu pursed his lips.
"I'll have the old woman carry you back to Feixue Garden in a little while."
Zhu Yu remained silent.
Lu Xiaoyun picked up the medicine from the side, lifted Zhu Yu's clothes, and sure enough, several wounds on his back that had just scabbed over had reopened, and his undergarment was stained with blood.
We had already removed the gauze, but now, after applying the medicine, we have to wrap it back up.
Lu Xiaoyun felt even more guilty: "Bear with it, I'll apply the medicine for you."
Zhu Yu remained silent.
As Lu Xiaoyun gently applied the medicine to him, she said, "I'm afraid I'll sleepwalk again tonight and hurt you again. When will your injuries be fully healed?"
Zhu Yu turned his head: "I don't sleepwalk every day. I only sleepwalk when I'm extremely tired and have something on my mind."
"no."
Zhu Yu turned his head back, feeling very down.
He whispered, "Lu Xiaoyun, do you not want to switch back to your body?"
As Lu Xiaoyun finished wrapping the gauze around him, she asked in confusion, "What? What does this have to do with whether or not we switch back to the same body?"
Zhu Yu turned his head, clung to Lu Xiaoyun's uninjured arm, and leaned against her again: "The points on this will decrease one by one as I gain recognition and praise from those around me."
Lu Xiaoyun looked down at the man in her arms and nodded: "Yes, so what?"
"So, since we are a loving couple, inseparable, with you protecting me at all times and me thinking of you at all times, won't the guards and servants of the Prince An's mansion extend their affection to me? Won't they praise me more often? Won't my score on the list gradually decrease?"
Lu Xiaoyun nodded; it seemed to make sense.
"But if we sleep separately, don't see each other often, and don't discuss things, what do you think the people in Prince An's mansion will think?"
Lu Xiaoyun looked at Zhu Yu.
“They will think that, as expected, His Highness Prince An does not like ‘Lu Xiaoyun’, and it will probably not be long before His Highness Prince An divorces his princess.”
"Therefore, it's a long way off for us to be able to switch back."
Lu Xiaoyun pursed her lips. Is that so? She felt like she had overlooked something.
Zhu Yu stared at Lu Xiaoyun expectantly, as if to say, "Think about it again and you'll understand."
"Your Highness, are you awake?" Jiang Chuan asked from outside.
Lu Xiaoyun glanced at Zhu Yu on the bed, then at the messy blankets, and rubbed her temples: "Go to Feixue Garden and find two maids to serve you."
Jiang Chuan responded with a resounding "Yes!"
After breakfast, Lu Xiaoyun took Lu Yuyan into the palace.
Before leaving, Lu Xiaoyun ordered someone to place the couch by the window, where dappled sunlight streamed in.
She carried Zhu Yu to the bed and told him to rest and recover.
Zhu Yu was half-reclining on the couch, picking up the official documents that Lu Xiaoyun had just moved into the room and flipping through them.
Li Feng, who was serving her, felt something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Zhu Yu had no interest in official business; his mind was preoccupied with the events of the previous night.
Was it easy for him? He dragged his injured body, slowly moving the blanket from the floor to the bed, and then, afraid of waking her, he pressed her pressure point to put her to sleep.
It was only a few steps from the small couch to the bed, but it took him almost half an hour to finally lie down. He was covered in sweat, and by the time he lay down, he was completely exhausted, with several wounds on his back reopening.
If Lu Xiaoyun had been more observant, she would have noticed the stains on the blanket. Unfortunately, he was too weak; he had to drag the blanket from the floor to get it onto the bed with great difficulty.
Today, tomorrow, and for many days to come, well, he'll be able to sleep with Lu Xiaoyun.
However, using sleepwalking as an excuse all the time isn't a good solution; I need to get her to willingly sleep in the same bed with me.
Only by sleeping together can I make her like me.
Although I did many things that were not humane.
But it's okay, from now on he will change, he will treat her well, and he will be devoted to her.
Lu Xiaoyun and Lu Yuyan sat in the carriage and headed towards the palace.
Lu Xiaoyun felt that something was off about sleeping with Zhu Yu last night.
To save time, Lu Yuyan carried the medicine box with him, intending to change Lu Xiaoyun's dressing in the carriage.
He didn't notice anything wrong with his older sister, after all, so much had happened yesterday, and she probably hadn't slept much last night.
He pulled Lu Xiaoyun's left arm over and said, "Let me take another look at the injury on your arm. It's a penetrating wound. Don't exert yourself or get it wet for the next two weeks."
Lu Xiaoyun suddenly realized something was wrong. She knew it! Zhu Yu was lying to her!
With her arm so badly injured, how could she still hold Zhu Yu, a grown man, in one arm and lift the blanket with the other?
Surely sleepwalking can't mean you can't feel pain either!
Zhu Yu tricked her!
This guy probably went to her bed on his own!
He took advantage of her and even slept with her!
