Zhu Yu's eyes were bloodshot, and he wished he could skin the vicious woman in front of him alive.
He swallowed back the metallic taste that was about to rise from his mouth, and a stinging pain on his face reminded him to look at the person in front of him.
Zhu Yu asked, word by word, "Weren't you and Prince An your childhood sweethearts? Everyone in Shengjing knows that you would marry no one but him, and he would marry no one but you. Since you knew he drank that cup of wine, why didn't you call the imperial physician? Why did you lead me there? Have you never loved Prince An? Then who is the person you love?"
Ren Yong'an sneered: "Ha, why should I tell you? You don't even deserve to know!"
Ren Yong'an stood up and slowly wiped the hand that had just pinched his face with a handkerchief: "So, Lu Xiaoyun, since you've become this princess and haven't won the favor of Zhu Yu and Consort Duan, then you'll just have to accept it!"
She won't let any woman who surpasses her get away with it!
These past few days, the Crown Prince still can't forget Lu Xiaoyun's face from the palace banquet that day.
She was filled with hatred! She hadn't expected that upon arriving at Prince An's residence today, this woman would still have a bare face, making her even more pitiful than that day. What if Zhu Yu had truly fallen in love with her!
No, absolutely not!
"Men, drag this woman here and make her kneel down!" Ren Yong'an ordered, pointing to the sharp-edged pebbles protruding from the edge of the flower bed.
Two burly old women, one on each side, lifted Zhu Yu up and forced him to kneel heavily on the ground.
A piercing pain spread from his knee, so intense it shook him to his core.
He was in a daze; his heart ached more than his knees.
All these years of feelings were just wishful thinking on my part. Whose heart does she really belong to?
Ren Yong'an casually pointed to a servant beside him: "Keep an eye on her. Let's go." Yong'an, like a victor, strode away with his two maids.
Li Feng crawled to him, wrapped her arms around Zhu Yu's neck, and wailed, "Miss, it's all my fault, I'm useless..."
Zhu Yu's eyes were dry, and he let Li Feng hold him tightly. He felt as if he were floating in the air, and he could even see his comrades who had died on the battlefield.
Li Feng turned as white as paper in fright: "Miss, please don't stay silent. Miss, please don't scare me, please, waah..."
The cold wind kept blowing into the two of them, and the snow fell heavily again.
"Miss, Miss..."
Zhu Yu closed his eyes, turned his stiff neck, and slowly stroked Li Feng's face, which had been slapped so badly that his eyes were almost invisible.
She asked softly, "Does it hurt?"
Li Feng shook her head frantically: "It doesn't hurt, Miss, it doesn't hurt at all."
How could it not hurt? He was in excruciating pain, as if thousands of ants were gnawing at his heart, as if someone were digging his heart out bit by bit with an awl.
It really hurt, it hurt so much, it pierced my very bones, and I couldn't even feel the burning sensation emanating from the jade bracelet anymore.
Half an hour ago, Lu Xiaoyun left the gate of Prince An's mansion.
Jiang Chuan led the horse over.
This horse is named Phantom. It is tall and strong, and is clearly a top-quality horse.
Lu Xiaoyun looked at the horse; it was far too tall. Her brow twitched, and she felt a chill run down her spine.
Psychology can fool people into thinking their personality has changed drastically, but it can't fool you into going from knowing how to ride a horse to not knowing how.
Moreover, who is Zhu Yu? He is the God of War of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he can ride a horse so fast it flies.
She, haha, can ride a horse so fast it flies away.
No, it's thrown out.
Lu Xiaoyun: "The Prince An's residence is not too far from the Dali Temple prison. It's just two streets away. With the end of the year approaching, there will be many people on the streets buying New Year's goods. It would be bad if we disturbed the people. Today, I will walk there myself."
Upon hearing this, Feng Yan, who was following behind, looked up at the tall and burly man's back in front of him, and his eyelids twitched involuntarily.
He even wondered if he was hallucinating.
Jiang Chuanze gave a knowing look, chuckled softly, tossed the reins to the gatekeeper, and then followed Lu Xiaoyun eagerly.
Feng Yan pulled Jiang Chuan aside and asked with his eyes, and Jiang Chuan silently said, "Psychology."
Then he tilted his head back and said that when it came to understanding the prince, no one could compare to Jiang Chuan.
Feng Yan glanced at the two people walking ahead, feeling something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Lu Xiaoyun, who was walking in front, was actually panicking inside. Jiang Chuan was easy to fool, but Feng Yan, as the commander of the secret guards, was not so easy to fool.
She needs to think of another way.
Before Lu Xiaoyun could come up with any solution, her thumb suddenly felt a burning sensation.
Holy crap!
What's wrong now?
bribe!
The two bright red characters on the small ring were particularly eye-catching. Then, without Lu Xiaoyun blinking, she saw that -867 points had instantly become -917 points!
Lu Xiaoyun's brow twitched violently. What was Zhu Yu trying to do? Was he trying to bribe her with money?
That's cheating, dude! How could the system not punish you?
She remembered that the original owner had no money. What did Zhu Yu do? Where did he get the money? And who did he bribe?
Lu Xiaoyun's eyes widened in shock. Oh my god, he didn't steal money from the study while she was away from the mansion, did he?
Just think of those boxes of gold and silver jewelry in the study.
After all, he knew the Prince's mansion's defenses best, and it wasn't impossible for him to steal something from the study without anyone noticing.
Zhu Yu, you've got some nerve! You're using "Lu Xiaoyun's" body now.
If you get caught, with your small frame, you'll be done for in no time.
No, she has to go back to the manor immediately.
Lu Xiaoyun turned to go back to the Prince An's mansion, but then her thumb was throbbing with pain again.
