Zhu Yu observed that the servants dared not speak out against the steward, simply throwing their belongings into the room without putting them away, but they vented all their resentment on him.
After all, the points on the bracelet have increased by another fifty, and now there are six hundred and fifty points!
"Miss, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault for being useless."
Zhu Yu closed his eyes, utterly exhausted. Since waking up today, he had suffered a series of torments and blows, leaving him physically and mentally drained.
He said weakly, "It's alright."
Li Feng wiped away her tears, and seeing all the things in the room, she was filled with joy again and immediately began to tinker with them.
Zhu Yu watched silently.
The little girl was so easily fooled. Upon seeing these things, she chattered excitedly, "Miss, look! The Prince has sent so many wonderful things. Look, there are chairs, a table, and a cabinet. From now on, we can sit at the table to eat. Hehe, that's great!"
She then picked up a few more pieces of charcoal from the basket and handed them to Zhu Yu: "Heavens, Miss, look! Is this silver thread charcoal? I've only ever seen this kind of high-quality charcoal in Madam's room before. When it's burning, the room is so warm, and there's not a trace of smoke. Unlike the charcoal we used before, I couldn't even see Miss's face clearly when we were face to face. Your Highness is too kind."
Zhu Yu rolled his eyes inwardly. This naive little girl, who's never seen the world, thinks Lu Xiaoyun is so great just because of this little bit of knowledge?
Ha, if she's so good, she should return my body to me!
Instead of doing these things.
Using my possessions to win over the maids around you, what kind of nonsense is that!
"Miss, Miss, please open your eyes and look! There are thick quilts and wooden planks for repairing the windows. My God, my God, the Prince is simply a living Buddha descended to earth."
As Li Feng spoke, she quickly covered Zhu Yu with a thick blanket.
Zhu Yu was extremely annoyed and coldly interrupted, "If you keep nagging, I'll throw you out."
Li Feng immediately shut his mouth. Why was the young lady's temper getting weirder and weirder? But the joy on the little maid's face was impossible to hide.
She first lit the charcoal brazier, then blocked the drafty opening at the window with a wooden board, and then went to move the tables, chairs, benches, and cabinets.
Its tiny body flitted around the room, as cheerful as a little magpie.
Zhu Yu suddenly felt that the cold room in Feixue Garden had come alive, and his body felt much warmer. In a daze, he fainted.
So, during this time, Physician Jiang came over again with medicine and even gave him acupuncture, completely unaware of what was happening.
Lu Xiaoyun, who was in her bedroom in the main courtyard, felt a weight lifted from her heart and felt both sleepy and tired.
So he quickly took off his shoes and went to bed. When he woke up, it was already evening.
Jiang Chuan, who was standing guard at the door, glanced at the tightly closed door again and again.
When Lu Xiaoyun woke up, she was still a little dazed. She opened her eyes and looked at the gilded bed curtains at the head of the bed, the various "expensive" decorations throughout the room, and the large hands covered with thin calluses standing in front of her.
Silently repeat: She is now Zhu Yu, the Prince of An of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
Looking up at the jade thumb ring on his hand, he saw that the score hadn't changed in the past half day.
"Someone come here."
Hearing the noise outside, Jiang Chuan asked, "Your Highness, you're awake."
Lu Xiaoyun hummed in agreement, threw off the covers, and got up.
Jiang Chuan helped Lu Xiaoyun wash up: "Your Highness, the kitchen says dinner is ready. Would you like to eat now, or wait?"
She said in a deep voice, "Now."
Jiang Chuan gave the order, and someone immediately ran to inform the kitchen.
While being helped to wash up by Jiang Chuan, Lu Xiaoyun glanced at Jiang Chuan, who kept his head down, and asked, "Has Imperial Physician Jiang visited the Princess? What did he say? How is her injury?"
"Your Highness, Physician Jiang has already gone over. He took her pulse, examined her injuries, wrote a prescription, gave it to the servants to brew, and then went over again. Perhaps Princess Lu's... uh, her injuries are a bit serious. Physician Jiang said that Princess Lu's health is a bit poor and she needs to be properly cared for."
Lu Xiaoyun nodded. It's good that he went. Zhu Yu has suffered a lot today, so we can't go too far. Staying alive is very important. "After Physician Jiang returns, have him come over. I have something to ask him."
Jiang Chuan cautiously looked up and stole a glance at Lu Xiaoyun.
Lu Xiaoyun pretended not to see it.
The kitchen quickly set out the food.
Lu Xiaoyun picked up her chopsticks, looking at this and then at that. Although it was a medicinal meal, none of the dishes were the same as the ones at noon, and each one was made with exquisite care.
It looked delicious, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw Jiang Chuan had already picked up his chopsticks and was about to serve her the food.
She waved her hand and said, "You can go now."
Jiang Chuan pursed his lips and silently left the room. He noticed that ever since the prince woke up, he didn't really like him following behind.
The prince must have looked down on him.
That's right, he was useless. When the arrow came, An Yi and An Er were fighting with the other assassins. He was closest to the prince, but he was also the most useless. His martial arts were no match for An Yi and the others. He could only watch helplessly as the arrow struck the prince in the heart and he fell backward.
Jiang Chuan's nose tingled, and he knelt down in front of Lu Xiaoyun with a thud: "Your Highness, it is my fault for being useless and failing to protect you. Please punish Jiang Chuan."
Lu Xiaoyun paused, her chopsticks poised to strike. "Get up. This isn't your fault. That assassin was extremely skilled; even I didn't notice him, let alone you. Just remember to practice your martial arts properly from now on."
Jiang Chuan kowtowed heavily, choking back tears, and said, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, from today onwards, I will practice diligently and will never let Your Highness fall into danger again."
Lu Xiaoyun nodded: "Okay, get up."
Jiang Chuan silently got up, went out of the room, and saw Physician Jiang coming over.
Seeing his dejected look, Physician Jiang raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's wrong? Did your master scold you?"
