The old emperor nodded: "Yes, approved. Fourth Prince, you take care of this matter!"
"Father, let me go with my fourth brother." How could he not know why his father had issued such an order?
This is obviously an offensive act, especially since it targets unarmed civilians. Who knows how many people are talking behind "Fourth Brother's" back?
He couldn't bear to see Yun'er suffer all these misunderstandings.
The old emperor glanced at Zhu Dan: "You have enough on your plate, so don't get involved in this matter."
"Father..."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey." Lu Xiaoyun bowed and accepted the decree, silencing Zhu Dan's next words.
Lu Xiaoyun knelt to Zhu Dan's left. As she raised her hand, the bright numbers on her ring caught Zhu Dan's eye.
His heart skipped a beat: -8000 points!
When I first saw it, it was - points. In just two months, it dropped by nearly 4,000 points. How did it drop so quickly?
Zhu Dan frowned.
Lu Xiaoyun noticed Zhu Dan's gaze and pulled her sleeve up to cover the ring.
The two left the imperial study and, seeing that no one was around, Zhu Dan grabbed Lu Xiaoyun's right hand and said, "Yun'er, do you know how to switch you two back? You lost four thousand points in just two months. When it reaches zero, you two can switch back, right?"
Zhu Dan looked at Lu Xiaoyun with urgent eyes: "Yun'er, tell me how to become 0? Tell me quickly! After this storm passes, Father will be choosing a consort for me. Yun'er, promise me, switch back, marry me, and become my Fifth Prince's consort, okay?"
"You know that Father has always wanted me for the position of Crown Prince. If you marry me and become my Fifth Prince's Consort, you will be the most honored woman in the world."
Lu Xiaoyun frowned and struggled, but Zhu Dan held her hand very tightly: "Zhu Dan, let go of me."
"I won't let go! I regretted letting you go so easily for over twenty years. Now, God has opened his eyes and given me a chance to start over with you. I will never let you go."
"Change back soon, and be my Fifth Prince's consort, okay? Yun'er."
"Zhu Dan, let her go." Zhu Yu had been waiting for Lu Xiaoyun in front of the palace gate, but she hadn't come out after more than an hour, and he was getting worried.
Due to the rebellion of the Imperial Guards, the palace is now guarded by Qi Shaocheng and the Northern Army. When they saw that it was "Miss Lu" who said she had important matters to report to the Emperor, Qi Shaocheng assumed that she was involved in matters concerning the rebels and naturally let her pass.
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the palace, he saw the Fifth Prince holding onto Lu Xiaoyun tightly, and his face immediately darkened.
Zhu Yu strode forward and slapped Zhu Dan's hand away.
Despite his current female body, he is skilled in martial arts, and his strike was quite powerful, instantly turning Zhu Dan's fair hand red.
"Fourth Brother, do you really want to keep wearing a woman's body forever? This is Yun'er's body, why do you insist on clinging to it!"
Zhu Yu said coldly, "This is between A-Yun and me, it has nothing to do with you."
"you!"
"My father will choose a wife for me soon, and I will not give up!"
Zhu Yu looked at him with icy eyes: "Zhu Dan, don't even think about it!"
Zhu Yu pulled Lu Xiaoyun away.
"Fourth Brother, Father wants us to raid the Second Prince's residence together tomorrow. I'll be waiting for you there. Don't forget," Zhu Dan called out, watching the two figures disappear into the distance.
Zhu Yu looked up at Lu Xiaoyun: "What does Father mean?"
Lu Xiaoyun nodded: "Mm."
"Let's go back to the manor. Tomorrow I'll go to the Second Prince's manor with you."
"good."
Seeing that Lu Xiaoyun was in a bad mood, Zhu Yu said, "Ayan is back."
The best way to distract someone is to bring up other people or things they care about.
Sure enough, Lu Xiaoyun's eyes lit up. Ayan had been gone for more than half a month and had finally returned. She immediately put her unpleasantness with Zhu Dan behind her back.
"Has the epidemic in Mu City been brought under control?"
Zhu Yu shook his head: "It's not completely under control yet. We're missing one ingredient. Ayan doesn't trust anyone else to fetch it, so he has to go back to Shengjing himself. He said he'll stay in Shengjing for a maximum of two days, and after he gathers the ingredients, he'll still go to Mucheng."
Lu Xiaoyun nodded. She also really wanted to go and see, but having just experienced a palace coup, and with the old emperor having entrusted her with many tasks, she couldn't leave for the time being.
As they were talking, the two boarded the carriage that was waiting at the palace gate.
His Highness Prince An's luxurious carriage is very spacious.
However, just as Lu Xiaoyun sat down, Zhu Yu plopped down on her lap.
However, considering that her right leg was still injured, he only sat on her left leg.
Lu Xiaoyun is his!
"Hey, what are you doing? Jiang Chuan is outside."
"Your Highness, Your Highness, I am not here," Jiang Chuan said with a grin.
Lu Xiaoyun's face darkened; he might as well not have said those words at all.
Zhu Yu lifted the curtain and threw out a wad of cotton: "Pull your ears in."
"Alright!" Jiang Chuan didn't say a word, and stuffed two small cotton balls into his ears.
Lu Xiaoyun: "..."
She now seriously suspects that Jiang Chuan's frivolous behavior stems from spending too much time with Zhu Yu.
Zhu Yu stayed in her arms, his arms around her waist, looking down at her face.
How could this person be so handsome? His long eyelashes fluttered gently. After resting in Shengjing City for several months, his skin had become much fairer. Now that he was holding her waist, two red clouds quietly crept up her cheeks.
Zhu Yu never imagined that his body would one day blush like this; look, even the tips of his ears are red.
So he planted a kiss on her chin.
Lu Xiaoyun frowned slightly: "What are you doing?"
"What for?" Zhu Yu tilted his head and thought for a moment. It was a good question. It seemed that it was indeed time for him to do something.
He heard it all clearly just now: the fifth brother wanted to marry her.
Ha, Lu Xiaoyun is his, and no one can take her away from him!
After the palace coup, he finally understood everything. He wanted to make sure that Lu Xiaoyun would never have any regrets.
So what if the fifth brother is better than him?
What happened between Lao Wu and her in the past?
He just wants Lu Xiaoyun!
So he lifted the curtain and patted Jiang Chuan, who had plugged his ears.
Jiang Chuan hurriedly took down some cotton from the side and asked, "Your Highness, what are your orders?"
"Let's not go back to the manor yet, let's go for a stroll in the suburbs."
Go to the countryside? To see the flowers? To go for a spring outing?
Jiang Chuan looked up at the sky. It was almost dark, and there had been a major battle in the suburbs a few days ago, so all the flowers were gone.
Weren't you just in a hurry to go back to the manor, saying that Mr. Lu had returned and you wanted to ask him about the epidemic in Mu City? Why aren't you in a hurry now?
Zhu Yu slapped Jiang Chuan on the head: "What are you thinking about? Plug your ears and drive the carriage to the outskirts."
"Yes!" Jiang Chuan stuffed cotton in one hand and turned his horse around to gallop towards the city gate.
