"Tell me!" he squeezed out each word through gritted teeth.
"Stop it, all of you!" Lu Xiaoyun shouted, gritting her teeth as she got off the bed, but because she was in a hurry, she couldn't stand on one leg and fell heavily to the ground.
"Master!" Feng Yan rushed over to support Lu Xiaoyun.
Lu Xiaoyun stood up with Feng Yan's help: "Feng Yan, you go out first."
"Master...!" Seeing the state of the room, he had no idea what had happened, so how could he leave with peace of mind?
"Get out!" Lu Yuyan roared.
Feng Yan stared intently at Lu Yuyan.
"Get out! No one is to approach the front yard without my permission!"
Royal affairs are never to be known by too many people, so Feng Yan had no choice but to step down.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness..."
Although the two have divorced, the people of the Prince An's mansion still like to call "Miss Lu" Princess Consort, as if only in this way can their divorce be as if it never happened.
Zhu Yu stood quietly at the doorway.
I don't know how long he's been standing there.
Several people inside the house looked over here.
Lu Xiaoyun felt a buzzing in her head. Why, why hadn't Zhu Yu left?
She told him to leave, but he just went to the next room, so he heard everything?
Zhu Dan seemed to freeze, staring fixedly at the bright and beautiful woman before him.
Almond-shaped eyes, willow-leaf eyebrows, red lips and bright teeth, and black hair like clouds.
A gentle breeze blew by, causing her skirt to flutter slightly. She stood in the light, appearing ethereal and misty.
He has been here for twenty years, and she has appeared in his dreams countless times.
He had so much to tell her.
But now that the woman was standing right in front of him, he couldn't say a word.
Zhu Yu walked over step by step, but he didn't look at him. In his eyes, there was only Lu Xiaoyun, who was in tears and in so much pain that she couldn't breathe.
Zhu Dan stared at him intently, then instinctively stepped back.
He thought the woman was walking towards him step by step, and with each step she took, it felt as if she were stepping on his heart, causing him excruciating pain.
But the woman walked past him and went behind him.
The next moment, Zhu Dan suddenly woke up, turned around, strode forward, grabbed Zhu Yu and pulled him tightly into his arms.
"Yun'er, Yun'er, I've finally found you, I've finally found you, Yun'er..." Hot tears fell one by one onto Zhu Yu's collar.
Lu Xiaoyun covered her mouth tightly, and large tears slid down her cheeks.
Zhu Yu saw it, and that suffocating feeling returned.
Lu Yuyan closed his eyes tightly and slid down to the ground.
"Fifth Prince, please let me go!" Zhu Yu said coldly while being held in his arms.
Zhu Dan felt as if a thousand ants were gnawing at his heart. He suddenly let go, grabbed Zhu Yu's shoulders, and stared intently into the eyes of the person in front of him. Those eyes were calm and undisturbed, as if he were looking at a complete stranger.
"Fifth Prince? Your Highness? Yun'er, you're calling me the Fifth Prince? I'm Zhang Hao, I'm Zhang Hao." Tears streamed down his face uncontrollably, washing away the blood.
Zhu Yu pushed Zhu Dan away and said coldly, "You've mistaken me for someone else."
Zhu Dan grabbed Zhu Yu's wrist; his hand was ice-cold. "Yun'er, I was wrong, I was wrong, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
He forcefully wiped away his tears: "I didn't go on the blind date, I didn't see that girl."
"I lied to you, I lied to you..."
"We've known and loved each other for six years, how could I possibly marry another woman and have children? I thought you would come back to me, I'm sorry, Yun'er, I'm so sorry..."
When your fingers touch the jade bracelet on your wrist, you can clearly see the words "11,900 points" written on it, which are as bright red as blood.
"What does this mean?"
Zhu Yu shoved Zhu Dan away: "It's nothing."
“But my aunt told me that you and she fell in love at first sight, and you went to Canada together and registered your marriage there…” came the voice of “Prince An” from behind.
Zhu Dan turned his head in disbelief to look at his "fourth brother," who was standing on one leg, with a broken arm hanging from his chest and tears streaming down his face.
The prominent "-" mark on the ring on his injured right hand, which was in a sling, gleamed with a dazzling red light.
"On the day my sister had the accident, Zhang Hao, your mother ran up to her and told her in person that you and that woman had a son. She said that you were living a very happy life in Canada and told my sister to give up on that idea and not to disturb your life."
"Zhang Hao, could this also be fake?!"
Lu Yuyan walked step by step toward Zhu Dan: "If your mother hadn't come and said those words, would my sister have been in trouble?! Zhang Hao, it was you, it was you and your mother who killed my sister!"
Lu Yuyan grabbed Zhu Dan's wrist and dragged him in front of Lu Xiaoyun, his eyes bloodshot as he roared, "If it weren't for you, my sister wouldn't have become this neither-male-nor-female-nor-female-nor-human-nor-ghost!"
"It was you, it was you and your son who did this evil deed! You're the ones who ruined my sister!"
Lu Yuyan punched Zhu Dan again.
Zhu Dan was forced to retreat repeatedly by the blows, and fell to the ground with a thud. He curled his body into a tight ball, buried his face in his arms, and suddenly burst into tears.
He didn't go to see the girl, nor did he go to Canada with her; he remained alone in England.
He thought she understood him and knew him, so he got angry the moment she let go and said he was going to see that girl and break up with her.
It was him; it was all his fault.
A misunderstanding should be clarified on the spot; it shouldn't be allowed to linger overnight.
...
A torrential downpour washed away the turmoil in Shengjing City.
The Duke of Zhenguo and his heir were dispatched to assist the Fifth Prince Zhu Dan in thoroughly investigating the assassination attempt.
Throughout the entire city of Shengjing, the city gates were tightly closed, the palace was under martial law, and the people kept their doors and windows shut, rarely daring to go out.
The entire city of Shengjing seemed to have returned to the depths of winter overnight, as if spring had vanished overnight.
More than ten days have passed. After returning to the Fifth Prince's residence from the Prince An's residence, Zhu Dan, the presiding judge of the case, began to deal with the mountain of official documents.
The Ministry of Justice arrested many people near where the assassin in black was found and where the crossbow was discarded.
After the report was given to Zhu Dan, Zhu Dan rode his horse directly to the Ministry of Justice without saying a word, and has been living and eating there ever since, without ever coming out.
"Your Highness, you haven't slept for two days and two nights. Please take a rest."
Zhu Dan had just put down his pen and ordered the jailer to bring in witnesses for questioning when the Minister of Justice, unable to bear it any longer, advised against it.
Zhu Dan didn't even look up. He picked up another official document and said, "No need. Bring the person here."
The Minister of Justice shook his head and had no choice but to order the jailer to bring the man away.
Lu Xiaoyun and Zhu Yu acted as if nothing had happened that day.
Zhu Yu continued to stay on the soft couch in Lu Xiaoyun's room, serving her medicine, wiping her body and face, and feeding her, never leaving her side.
However, Lu Xiaoyun no longer needed Zhu Yu to feed her medicine with his mouth. Whenever the young apprentice brought the medicine, Zhu Yu would bring her a plate of candied fruit and bring the bowl to her lips.
Lu Xiaoyun didn't say much, picked it up and drank it all in one gulp.
However, Zhu Yu became increasingly silent, and the two spoke less and less to each other.
