The Prince An's mansion is in dire straits. Feng Yan is still recovering from his injuries, Xi Yi and Wu Chuan are beyond help, and Lu Xiaoyun has only been practicing martial arts for a short time.
Dealing with one or two mediocre martial arts practitioners is manageable, but if it's like last time when several assassins come, she simply can't handle it.
How can we ensure her safety?
As night deepened, just before Zhu Yu was drifting off to sleep, he suddenly heard two cuckoo calls outside.
Where did those bird calls come from in the dead of winter?
Zhu Yu's eyes lit up, and he immediately threw off the covers, got out of bed, opened the window, and found Lu Xiaoyun, dressed in black with dark hair and wearing a black cloak, standing at the window with a tall and straight figure.
But why is there so much mud on her cloak?
Zhu Yu quickly grabbed her hand. Seeing her, he felt a warm feeling spread throughout his body, as if his heart had been soothed. His eyes overflowed with laughter: "Why are you here?"
Lu Xiaoyun was pulled by his arm with a hissing sound.
Zhu Yu hurriedly asked, "What happened to you? Are you injured?"
Lu Xiaoyun gave an awkward smile: "My brother called."
"Huh? My brother-in-law didn't go out with the Duke of Zhenguo this afternoon, but instead went to the Prince of An's mansion to fight you?"
Lu Xiaoyun nodded helplessly.
Zhu Yu's lips twitched. Her brother-in-law had actually hit his own sister: "Sit down, let me see."
"It's alright, Ah Yan checked it, no bones are broken, it will be fine after a few days of applying medicine."
Zhu Yu was finally relieved.
I came to see you. How are you?
"Come in quickly." Zhu Yu grabbed Lu Xiaoyun's other hand, which was originally his own hand. The moment he held it, his palm felt warm.
Lu Xiaoyun was fine. Avoiding her injured arm, she used her height advantage to brace herself on the windowsill and leaped...
As a result, Lu Xiaoyun overestimated herself, failed to jump in, and fell flat on her face. She grimaced in pain as she helped herself up.
Zhu Yu's lips twitched.
"Pull me up! Hey, I never thought this window was that high before, how come I can't jump over it? Oh well, I'll just climb over."
Seeing how she used both hands and feet, Zhu Yu finally understood where she got all the mud from – she had climbed over the wall on all fours!
He silently prayed that no one would find out, otherwise His Highness Prince An would lose face in both Northern Qi and Daliang.
Lu Xiaoyun breathed a sigh of relief when the tall figure climbed through the window.
Zhu Yu hurriedly handed her a wet handkerchief, which Lu Xiaoyun hastily wiped on her face.
Zhu Yu glanced out the window: "You're like this, didn't the guards notice? When my brother-in-law carried me in today, I did notice that the Duke's mansion has hidden guards."
Although not many.
As Lu Xiaoyun took off her dirty cloak, she said, "I had Wu Chuan distract her." Then she turned and closed the window.
Zhu Yu led Lu Xiaoyun by the hand and sat her down on the bedside.
"Have you missed me?" Zhu Yu asked Lu Xiaoyun with bright eyes in the darkness.
"Um?"
Zhu Yu stared intently at Lu Xiaoyun: "Did you miss me, so you climbed over the wall to see me in the middle of the night?"
"Hehe." She really wanted to tell Zhu Yu that he was overthinking things. She was just worried that their affair would be discovered by their father and brothers, which would be no laughing matter.
Zhu Yu looked at the tall figure in front of him, and before he could think, he wrapped his arms around Lu Xiaoyun's waist and buried his head deeply in her arms. It seemed like he hadn't hugged her in a long time.
"Lu Xiaoyun, I miss you, I really miss you. We haven't seen each other for several hours."
Lu Xiaoyun felt her body stiffen: "Zhu, Zhu Yu, you, you let me go..."
Zhu Yu hugged her even tighter: "I won't let go."
Lu Xiaoyun's brow twitched. She had come today to talk to Zhu Yu, not to chat about love.
Besides, she hadn't fallen in love with Zhu Yu, and it felt strange to be holding him like this.
Zhu Yu wrapped his arms around her waist, looked up at Lu Xiaoyun, and the two were very close. In the dead of night, they could see each other's bright eyes that reflected each other.
Zhu Yu's gaze slowly moved down to his own lips, and he couldn't help but swallow.
Lu Xiaoyun quickly turned her face away and used her strength to pry Zhu Yu's hands off her waist: "Zhu Yu, listen to me..."
However, the rest of the sentence was cut off.
Zhu Yu suddenly stepped forward, hooked his arm around her neck, and silenced Lu Xiaoyun's next words with his lips.
Everything happened so suddenly.
Lu Xiaoyun froze, her mind blank, only feeling a cool and soft sensation on her lips, a tingling feeling slowly seeping into her heart.
She forgot to push Zhu Yu away.
Let him sink into it.
Zhu Yu slowly closed his eyes, straightened his back, and pressed his petite body against Lu Xiaoyun's, deepening the kiss.
Lu Xiaoyun was completely at a loss for what to do. She felt as if the air in her mouth was being sucked out, and involuntarily opened her mouth. Zhu Yu took the opportunity to enter, and his tongue skillfully pried open her lips.
This was originally his body, but because it was Lu Xiaoyun's soul, it felt soft and sweet on the tip of her tongue.
Lu Xiaoyun lowered her eyes, looking at the man who was holding her up, as if he wanted to swallow her whole. He held her even tighter.
Seemingly unable to support Zhu Yu's weight, Lu Xiaoyun placed her hands behind her back on the bed and leaned back.
Zhu Yu seized the opportunity and, in an extremely domineering manner, suddenly straddled her and pinned her to the bed.
Lu Xiaoyun's mind went blank for a moment, and she collapsed onto the bed.
Their noses touched, and their hot breaths mingled together.
Zhu Yu gripped her waist with both hands.
...It was rock hard when I got it.
In a split second, it dawned on him that he was the delicate and frail young woman.
The coolness on her tongue seeped into her entire body, and Lu Xiaoyun seemed to forget to breathe, only enduring the overwhelming kiss.
The bright moon slowly emerged from the clouds that obscured it, its clear light spreading across the ground. The moonlight shone brightly through the mottled window frames like silk and satin.
The kiss lasted for a long time.
In the distance, two more cuckoo calls rang out.
Lu Xiaoyun suddenly opened her eyes and hurriedly pushed away Zhu Yu, who was pressing down on her.
Zhu Yu smiled contentedly, stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his lips; it was indeed sweet.
Lu Xiaoyun was so startled by his action that she trembled.
Two more cuckoo calls followed.
Zhu Yu then got off Lu Xiaoyun. Both of them had wrinkled clothes and flushed cheeks.
"you……"
"you……"
The two spoke at the same time, but both had hoarse voices.
Zhu Yu coughed lightly, his ear tips turning so red they looked like they were about to bleed: "You go first."
Lu Xiaoyun touched her nose, coughed, and said, "I just came to talk to you... In this Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, apart from Uncle Qing, Li Feng, and my father and brothers, don't trust anyone else."
"good."
She asked, "So what were you trying to say?"
He said, "My brother-in-law brought back a highly skilled doctor from the southern border called Old Hong. He will take care of my health, so don't worry."
Lu Xiaoyun nodded.
