Lu Yuyan continued, "Moreover, the system has tied my sister's and Zhu Yu's lives together. If anything happens to either of them, the other will also be in trouble. Nobody knows what will happen if you do this. I absolutely will not allow you to gamble with my sister's life!"
"You mean..."
"Yes, if things go wrong, there is a high possibility that other unpredictable consequences may occur, and it may even take the lives of my sister and Zhu Yu."
Zhu Dan closed his eyes in despair.
Lu Yuyan stabbed him in the heart: "Zhu Dan, don't forget, in modern times you were the one who gave up on my sister first. You should have known long ago that there was no possibility between you two!"
Zhu Dan's face tightened into a line.
The carriage stopped in front of the Prince An's mansion, and Lu Xiaoyun and Zhu Yu got off the carriage.
Zhu Dan looked at Lu Xiaoyun, then at Zhu Yu, his eyes filled with pain, like a struggling trapped beast unable to escape the cage bound by layers of iron chains.
Zhu Yu and Lu Yuyan entered the flower hall first.
Zhu Dan grabbed Lu Xiaoyun's wrist, forcing her into a corner, his bloodshot eyes fixed on hers: "Yun'er, do you really want to marry Zhu Yu? Can't you think about me?"
Lu Xiaoyun frowned, struggled, and broke free from Zhu Dan's restraints. After all, she was now carrying Zhu Yu's body, so she still had the strength a man should have.
She stared at Zhu Dan and asked, word by word, "Then, would Your Highness, the Fifth Prince, be willing to sleep with me, who has a man's body, or with your own Fourth Brother, who has a woman's body?!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Dan felt completely drained.
Zhu Yu didn't see Lu Xiaoyun follow him in. He turned around and saw the two of them. He then grabbed Lu Xiaoyun's hand and led her into the flower hall.
Tears slowly slid down Zhu Dan's face, her body went limp, and she buried her face deeply in her arms.
He had experienced that feeling of helplessness once before in modern times, and now he was experiencing it again here. Why was God so unfair to him?!
If it's not possible, why let him be reborn in the Great Zhou Dynasty? Why let him meet Yun'er again?
Zhu Yu was the first to smell the fragrance of the four-colored grass. Half an hour had passed, and his mind was starting to feel dizzy. He clenched his fists and placed them on his lap, and his whole body began to tremble.
Lu Xiaoyun wasn't in much better shape; a blush had crept onto her wheat-colored face.
However, since it was the first time it had happened, the two were still able to endure it.
Zhu Dan slammed his fist on the table.
The teacups and teapot on the table cracked open in the middle, shattering into pieces in an instant, collapsing into a pile with a crash.
No one spoke in the flower hall.
Zhu Dan looked at Zhu Yu with icy eyes and said, "You knew all along that the Four-Colored Grass was poisonous, so you did it on purpose, didn't you? Fourth Brother, I know you have Yun'er in your heart, we can compete fairly, but you shouldn't have done this!"
A glint of light appeared in Zhu Yu's eyes, but his tone was extremely cold: "I'm not as despicable as you think! I love her deeply, how could I use such vile means!"
Lu Yuyan knew that Lu Yucheng did not fully trust him, so before sending Jiang Chuan to invite Lu Yucheng, he also asked Lu Yucheng to bring Old Master Hong from the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.
Lu Yucheng arrived quickly, but he didn't know what had happened.
I called out to Old Hong, thinking something had happened to my sister.
He was relieved when he entered the flower hall and saw that his younger sister was safe and sound.
Seeing that the four people's expressions seemed off, they realized that something might have happened.
Lu Yuyan called Lu Yucheng aside and told him the whole story.
As soon as Lu Yuyan finished speaking, Lu Yucheng slammed his fist against the wall, and drops of blood dripped onto the ground.
"How could there be such a vile poison in the world!"
Lu Yuyan nodded: "Young Master Lu may wish to ask Elder Hong."
Zhu Dan also came over.
Lu Yuyan told everyone to cover their mouths and noses before opening the box to show Old Hong.
Upon seeing the contents of the box, Elder Hong was quite excited: "Excellent, excellent! This is indeed the Four-Colored Grass. The Four-Colored Grass is a rare treasure in the world. I thought this spiritual flower had long since disappeared from the world, but I never expected to have the opportunity to witness it today."
Lu Yucheng closed the box and asked, "Does Elder Hong know the medicinal properties of this four-colored herb?"
Old Master Hong's expression was solemn: "The Four-Colored Grass is both a medicine and a poison. It is a medicine because it can cure all poisons in the world, especially chronic poisons that have been planted in the body for a long time and have penetrated deep into the bone marrow. It can be said that the medicine can cure the poison. Those who take the Four-Colored Grass will be immune to all poisons from then on."
"It is called poison because the four-colored grass has a unique fragrance. This fragrance is extremely potent; a single four-colored grass can poison thousands of people, making it the most potent aphrodisiac in the world."
"There is no antidote for this poison. The only option is for men and women to have sex. And they must have sex within five hours, otherwise the poison will penetrate deep into their bones and blood, causing the poisoned person to explode and die."
This is a rogue drug.
Old Master Hong looked at Lu Yucheng and sighed softly: "Especially since the young lady is still a virgin, this poison will cause great damage to her body. It would be best if she could have sex with a man within three hours."
Old Master Hong sighed softly. If the young lady and Prince An had not divorced, this would not have been considered poison to them at all.
But he knew very well what the Duke of Zhenguo and the young master were thinking; they did not want the young lady to have any further involvement with Prince An.
Lu Yucheng clenched his fist, then slowly released it. He walked to Zhu Dan and knelt on one knee: "Your Highness, although my sister is unruly, she is not inherently bad. Moreover, she has made many changes in recent times. I beg Your Highness to marry my sister as your concubine to save her life. From now on, whatever Your Highness asks of us, I and the entire Zhenguo Duke's Mansion will go through fire and water for you!"
He didn't want his sister to remarry so hastily, but things happened unexpectedly.
Furthermore, if it weren't for the palace coup, the Emperor would have chosen a consort for the Fifth Prince right after the imperial examinations.
He knew that the Fifth Prince had specifically asked the Emperor to let his sister participate in the selection of concubines. If he had no interest in his sister, why would he have gone to such lengths?
He was convinced that Zhu Dan would agree to his request.
Zhu Dan closed his eyes tightly and helped Lu Yucheng up.
Lu Yucheng, thinking Zhu Dan had agreed, said happily, "I know that the wedding ceremony for a prince is complicated, requiring Your Majesty to issue an imperial decree, the Ministry of Rites to choose an auspicious day, and the six rites to be performed. But it's alright, we can do a simple ceremony today and complete the rest later. I'll have my servants go and buy red candles..."
"Young Master Lu!" Before Lu Yucheng could finish speaking, Zhu Dan interrupted him.
Seeing his expression, Lu Yucheng's heart sank deeper and deeper. A bitter smile slowly appeared on his lips: "Your Highness, is it because my sister was married before that she is not good enough for you? Is that it?"
If she doesn't have sex with a man within five hours, my sister will die. Lu Yucheng said urgently, "You just heard Elder Hong say that my sister is still a virgin..."
