Zhu Dan suppressed the tears welling up in his heart. What could he do?
Even if he were willing, that person was his fourth brother, his fourth brother!
The two of them were in bed, one calling out "Fourth Brother" and the other "Fifth Brother," and they were still making love?
Even though it was Yun'er's body, he was resisting in his heart, so how could he succeed?
"Young Master Lu, that's not what I meant, I just... I just..."
Sigh, he just can't share a room with his own brother.
However, not only would no one believe him if he told them about their souls being swapped, but the system would also backfire. If something happened, he would spend the rest of his life in regret.
Lu Yucheng understood Zhu Dan's meaning. He smiled faintly, took a step back, and bowed to Zhu Dan: "It was my wishful thinking that offended Your Highness. Please forgive me."
Lu Yucheng wanted to take his sister back to the manor. His Lu family army had plenty of good men. Cui Li, who had accompanied him back to Shengjing, had recently returned after disguising himself as a wealthy merchant to distribute porridge in Mucheng.
If my sister could marry him and go to southern Xinjiang with them, it would be a win-win situation.
However, the two people involved, who were sitting in the flower hall, did not take the matter seriously at all. They were just gradually becoming confused, so much so that they could not hear what the people outside were saying.
Although Lu Yuyan knew that people in ancient times valued this highly, there was no need to regard it as more important than life itself.
Instead of wasting their time discussing who should marry Zhu Yu, they should have told his sister and Zhu Yu to go to sleep.
Moreover, since their bodies have been swapped, it would be most suitable for the two of them to share a room.
"I am willing! If Prince Lu is willing to marry my sister to me, I will treat her a hundredfold, a thousandfold. I hereby swear that for the rest of my life, I will have only her as my wife and will never take a concubine!"
A voice rang out behind them.
The group turned around and saw a young man with handsome and deep features, dressed in a dark blue brocade robe and a leather belt, walking towards them.
It was Qi Shaocheng!
Qi Shaocheng happened to come to discuss matters with Prince An, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard what Lu Yuyan said to Zhu Dan.
Zhu Yu and Lu Xiaoyun naturally saw Qi Shaocheng walking towards them.
Lu Yucheng's eyes lit up. That's right, Qi Shaocheng was originally his mother's betrothed to his younger sister since birth, but the marriage was canceled because of the matter with Prince An.
Moreover, the Marquis of Yongbo and his wife were also very easy to get along with.
Furthermore, although Qi Shaocheng is already twenty-six years old, he has no women in his harem. If my sister could marry into his household, she would surely be happy.
“Okay!” Lu Yucheng readily agreed.
"No, I disagree!" Zhu Dan interrupted without thinking.
Lu Yucheng's gaze toward Zhu Dan turned cold: "This is a private matter between our two families. Although the Fifth Prince is a prince, he has no right to interfere in matters such as marriage between our two families."
"Brother Qi, I will take Xiaoyun back to the manor now. You should go back and prepare. Come to the Duke of Zhenguo's manor to pick up Xiaoyun in two hours."
"good."
"I said no!" Zhu Dan grabbed Lu Yucheng's arm tightly, his face cold and icy.
Lu Yucheng was now extremely displeased: "Does Your Highness really want my sister to die? What has my sister done to displease Your Highness!"
"No, that's not what I meant. I meant," Zhu Dan gritted her teeth, "that General Qi can share a room with Miss Lu to cure her poison, but she cannot marry General Qi!"
Lu Yucheng flung Zhu Dan away, his face growing even colder: "Fifth Prince, don't you think what you're saying is outrageous and excessive? What do you take my sister for?!"
"Young Master Lu, there are some things I can't tell you right now, but I truly have my reasons! Rest assured, the position of Fifth Prince Zhu Dan's consort will always be reserved for Yun'er. And one day, I will marry Yun'er in grand style!"
Lu Yucheng gave him a cold look, thinking that Zhu Dan must have gone mad, and Qi Shaocheng also found it unbelievable.
Zhu Dan stared at Qi Shaocheng. If he remembered correctly, Qi Shaocheng's mother, the wife of the Marquis of Yongbo, had visited the residence of Shen Mingguang, the Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies, at the beginning of the year.
It's obvious that Lady Yongbo must have taken a liking to Shen Mingguang's daughter.
Qi Shaocheng has no chance of taking Yun'er from him!
While the others outside were still hesitating, Lu Yuyan had already stepped inside. Once the Four-Colored Grass is exposed to the wind, it is best to take it as soon as possible, otherwise it will lose its medicinal effect after a few hours.
Zhu Yu's body was poisoned with a poison that would kill him offspring, and he needed to immediately give his elder sister the Four-Colored Herb as an antidote.
The four-color herb is very easy to consume; simply dissolve it in water and drink it.
The two people in the flower hall felt as if they were on fire, as if thousands of ants were gnawing at every pore, and their whole bodies began to burn.
The burning sensation traveled inch by inch down my abdomen, desperately seeking relief.
Zhu Yu had served in the army for ten years and possessed an extremely strong will, but at this moment he could not suppress it at all.
Lu Xiaoyun was in no better shape. The burning desire within her body was even more intense than before, coursing through her entire body and almost bursting forth uncontrollably. She raised her dazed eyes and looked at Zhu Yu opposite her.
It was as if she wasn't seeing the person with his hands clenched into fists, enduring immense pain and with a somewhat ferocious expression, but rather the man who walked gracefully towards her, his bare shoulders half-exposed, stirring every nerve in her heart—the man with whom she had swapped bodies.
She reached out her hand to him.
Lu Yucheng shook off Zhu Dan's hand and turned to enter the flower hall.
However, in the flower hall, only Lu Yuyan was leisurely drinking tea, with no sign of Lu Xiaoyun and Zhu Yu.
Lu Yucheng was startled: "Where's Xiaoyun?"
Lu Yuyan toyed with the teacup in his hand: "Oh, just now, while you were arguing so fiercely about who should marry him, the Prince and he went to Feixue Garden through the back door to sleep. The poison took effect, and now that you've finished arguing, what, are you going to collect their corpses?"
The front yard was too noisy, so Lu Yuyan suggested they go to Feixue Garden.
"What, what did you say!"
Qi Shaocheng's face immediately displayed a variety of colors.
Zhu Dan laughed, but then his laughter turned into tears. Tears streamed down his face, and he slid down the wall.
Old Hong looked at them, paused, and seemed somewhat hesitant to speak further.
Lu Yucheng was already extremely anxious and said urgently, "Elder Hong, please speak freely."
Old Hong turned to Lu Yuyan, the box containing the four-colored herb was now empty: "Has His Highness Prince An consumed the four-colored herb?"
Lu Yuyan nodded: "Yes. He has been poisoned with a slow-acting poison. The four-color grass is most effective when taken within two hours after being exposed to the wind. I have already given it to him."
Old Master Hong nodded, paused for a moment, and looked at Lu Yucheng, saying, "Young Master, this may be a good thing. Since His Highness Prince An has taken the Four-Colored Herb and had intercourse with the Eldest Miss, his essence has entered the Eldest Miss's body, which is equivalent to both of them having taken the Four-Colored Herb. In this way, not only His Highness Prince An, but also the Eldest Miss will be immune to all poisons in the future."
Old Hong's words were more convincing than Lu Yuyan's.
Lu Yucheng instinctively felt a bit resistant. He recalled the divorce letter and the injuries all over his sister's body when he first brought her back, which made him feel disgusted.
He had seen all of his sister's behavior.
