Once everything returns to normal, he will treat her with all his heart and tell her everything that has happened during this time.
Lu Xiaoyun probably never imagined that she would unintentionally help him.
Ha, Lu Xiaoyun, just you wait. When your body is returned to normal, I will make you suffer a hundred times, a thousand times more than I am now!
Zhu Yu stared at Yong'an, his gaze softening inch by inch.
Yong'an had already seen the person being helped over by Li Feng. The moment she saw him clearly, her expression changed instantly. Her hands, hidden in her sleeves, clenched tightly together, her sharp nails digging deep into her palms without her noticing.
How could Lu Xiaoyun be so beautiful?
She was dressed impeccably today, without any makeup, her hair simply styled in a bun and adorned with a pearl hairpin, yet she was breathtakingly beautiful.
Ren Yong'an even saw an innate nobility in her.
Her elegant attire made her even more dazzling.
How could she have changed so much in just a few days?
No, she absolutely wouldn't allow that to happen.
Because she and Lu Xiaoyun were "good sisters," she often told Lu Xiaoyun how women should dress to attract men's attention.
From a very young age, she and Lu Xiaoyun were known as the "Two Beauties of Shengjing".
Ha, how can a jinx who caused the death of her own mother be worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as her!
She was the most beautiful woman in Shengjing!
Lu Xiaoyun was very lucky. She was born into the Zhenguo Duke's family, a first-rank official, and was the eldest daughter of the Zhenguo Duke. Although her father was the Left Prime Minister, that was a different matter.
The Great Zhou Dynasty had only been established for a few decades, so how deep could the foundation of a court official be?
But the Lu family's Zhenguo Duke's Mansion is different. Not only are they a powerful family from the previous dynasty, but the old Zhenguo Duke also helped the late emperor conquer the Great Zhou Dynasty. If the old Zhenguo Duke hadn't refused, half of the Great Zhou Dynasty would have belonged to the Lu family.
Naturally, others put Lu Xiaoyun ahead of her in the list.
She was insanely jealous, and she was filled with rage.
So she deliberately approached Lu Xiaoyun, visiting her at the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion every few days to help her "dress up".
Lu Xiaoyun caused the death of her birth mother, and her stepmother, with the aim of ruining her as much as possible, raised her to be truly ignorant and foolish.
So this foolish woman actually believed her and really treated her as a "good sister." Not only that, she also managed to get a lot of information out of her.
And so, she held the title of the most beautiful woman in Shengjing for more than ten years.
In the end, the noble circles of Shengjing City completely excluded Lu Xiaoyun.
In Prince An Zhu Yu's eyes, there was only her. In the entire capital city, who did not know that Prince An Zhu Yu would marry no one but her?
Even the crown prince was captivated by her beauty.
Unfortunately, the Crown Prince married his Crown Princess at a young age.
However, that doesn't matter. The Crown Princess is just a sickly person. Once she dies, the position of Crown Princess, and even the future Empress position, can only be hers!
Yet she thoroughly enjoyed the favor that Prince An showed her.
Previously, Zhu Yu was always on the battlefield in the northwest, and he would send her a letter every now and then. She naturally handled it with ease, and she could simply have her maid imitate her handwriting and send him a letter every now and then.
She and the Crown Prince had long been secretly dating, and he had promised her that as long as she helped him obtain the military power of Prince An, he would marry her and make her the true Crown Princess once the current Crown Princess died.
However, a month and a half ago, Zhu Yu defeated the Northern Qi and returned to the capital, meaning there would be no war in the Northwest for the next few decades.
Zhu Yu told her he wanted to marry her, and even prepared the betrothal gifts.
That won't do!
Zhu Yu's mother was of lowly birth and disliked by the emperor. Even Zhu Yu himself was not liked by the emperor. Such a person could never sit on that chair. Why would she marry him?
She was destined to be empress!
When Zhang Mama saw that Lu Xiaoyun's expression suddenly changed when she saw Miss Ren Yong'an, she thought that Lu Xiaoyun was thinking of some vicious scheme to deal with Miss Yong'an, so she grabbed Zhu Yu.
She said in a harsh voice, "What, is Your Highness going to disobey Consort Duan's orders?"
Zhang Mama was holding his injured right arm. Zhu Yu felt another pain, and his body jerked violently. Blood from the wound finally seeped through his thick winter clothes.
Li Feng, not knowing where she got the courage, pushed Zhang Mama away: "Zhang Mama, my young lady is injured, how can you treat her like this! Young lady, what should we do? Her wound is bleeding again."
Zhu Yu pressed his pale lips tightly together.
Looking down at the two people on the ground, Zhang Mama coldly said, "Hmph! Injured? How does being injured give you the right to disobey Consort Duan's orders and disregard hierarchy and seniority? Since you're so useless, why bother plotting against the Prince in such a vicious way!"
"Even with a heart wound, the Prince still went to court to carry out his duties! Does this lowly woman's life seem more precious than the Prince's?!"
"You mean... Prince Lu went to court?" Zhu Yu suddenly looked up, ignoring the pain, and asked sharply.
Lu Xiaoyun actually went to court. Could it be that she's really going to hand over the tiger tally?
That damn woman!
asshole!
"Miss..." Li Feng was also startled by Zhu Yu's sudden loud voice.
The prince came to Feixue Garden in a huff this morning; it's clear he's still angry with you.
Granny Zhang gave him a cold, sidelong glance: "Do you really expect the Prince to come and save you? Are you planning to use your beauty to seduce me? Ha, Lu Xiaoyun, have you lost your mind?"
"If it weren't for Consort Duan's kind heart, seeing that you had caused the death of your birth mother at birth and that your birth father was not by your side, and that you were an orphan, given what you had done, would she have punished you by only making you kneel for an hour?"
Li Feng's face turned extremely pale. Zhang Mama's words were too cruel. She looked timidly at "Miss" and choked out, "Miss..."
Zhu Yu glanced at Li Feng indifferently, a slight smile playing on his lips, and looked at Zhang Mama, saying calmly, "So?"
“So,” Zhang Mama scolded him, “if the Prince were here today, do you think kneeling for only an hour would be enough? If it weren’t for you, the Prince and Miss Yong’an would be separated now! If it weren’t for you, the Prince would have been assassinated! If it weren’t for you, Miss Yong’an would only have recovered today!”
Granny Zhang seemed to be furious, her voice rising sharply: "You caused Miss Yong'an to have a persistent high fever, almost losing her life! You caused the Prince to be shot in the heart with an arrow, your crimes are even more heinous! If it weren't for Physician Jiang's superb medical skills... you poisonous woman!"
Zhu Yu stood up and coldly glanced at Zhang Mama: "So, Zhang Mama, you think the Prince is more vicious than Consort Duan? What a loyal dog of a servant!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Mama paused, her expression changed, and she took two steps back: "Your Highness, that's not what I meant..."
