The guard immediately knelt down and begged for forgiveness: "It was our fault for not acting properly. Please punish us, Your Highness!"
Lu Youyun sighed, then waved her hand dismissively, signaling the guard to stand up: "What kind of wooden boards are used in the Prince's residence?"
The guard, unsuspecting, replied, "They used military rods, and the military rods in the Prince An's residence are specially made. Twenty strokes are equivalent to one hundred lashes in other residences."
Holy crap, Zhu Yu is extremely strict in governing his army; I never expected that his own residence would also employ the same military methods.
She could only wave her hand and say, "Go and ask Yong'an what she thinks. If she wants to take the body back, then let her take it back."
The guard obeyed and left.
Upon arriving at Feixue Garden, Li Feng had just finished applying medicine and bandaging Zhu Yu's wounds when Lu Xiaoyun entered.
Zhu Yu looked up and saw that her expression seemed a little off, so he frowned slightly.
"Li Feng, you may leave now. I have something to say to your young lady."
Li Feng glanced cautiously at Lu Xiaoyun, then looked at Zhu Yu with some concern before bowing and retreating.
Zhu Yu, disregarding his own injuries, asked directly, "Did you go to the morning court today?"
"Hmm?" Lu Xiaoyun looked at Zhu Yu. She thought he would talk to her about Ren Yong'an first, but she didn't expect him to ask about this first. It seems that he was indeed worried that if she handed over the Tiger Tally, he would lose his military power.
Hmph, that stinky man, even at this critical moment, he still can't forget his power and status.
Damn it! Doesn't he know what the situation is now that the tiger tally is in her hands, and how detrimental it is to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion?
Lu Xiaoyun was furious. She might as well just tell him that she had already handed over the tiger tally today, since it would have to be handed over in a few more days anyway.
She glared at him angrily.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Zhu Yu assumed she had really handed over the tiger tally and angrily said, "Lu Xiaoyun!"
He lowered his voice and questioned, "Are you insane! Without the Tiger Tally, you are nothing in this unpredictable and treacherous court. How can you protect the Prince An's Mansion!"
Lu Xiaoyun pursed her lips and stared silently at Zhu Yu, who was on the verge of exploding.
If Zhu Yu hadn't injured his knee and been too weak to stand, he probably would have pounced on her and started scratching her.
Zhu Yu glared angrily at Lu Xiaoyun. He was well aware of what a marriage alliance between two powerful families meant, but times had changed.
The mastermind behind the assassination attempt on the wedding day has not yet been found. At this time, she handed over the Tiger Tally in front of all the civil and military officials during the morning court session. Everyone knows that the Prince An's mansion is currently out of troops and cannot hold out for long with just the mansion soldiers and secret guards.
In their current state, how can they possibly protect the Prince An's mansion!
If even the Prince An's mansion cannot be protected, what's the point of discussing whether this tiger tally is a protective charm or a death warrant!
Even if it really is a death warrant, that's a matter for later. At the very least, if the Emperor and the Crown Prince truly suspect him and are wary of the Northern Army, they won't act rashly in the short term.
But protecting the Prince An's residence is of utmost urgency.
But now, look at the number on the bracelet: 1,517 points!
The veins on his forehead throbbed; after just one trip to Feixueyuan, his score skyrocketed to 650 points!
His and Lu Xiaoyun's desire to switch bodies seemed like an impossible dream.
Her frail body seemed to have caused problems with her martial arts skills as well; the internal energy in her dantian was completely unresponsive and she couldn't use it at all.
Seeing his state, Lu Xiaoyun was afraid that he might do something bad in anger, so she softened her expression a little and said, "Don't worry, I didn't go to the morning court today. I went to the Dali Temple prison."
Zhu Yu was furious, but upon hearing this, he paused and asked incredulously, "You didn't go? You didn't hand over the tiger tally?"
Lu Xiaoyun took out the tiger tally from her body and handed it to Zhu Yu: "You didn't hand it over, here it is."
Zhu Yu reached out to snatch it.
That won't do.
Lu Xiaoyun is now in a man's body, and when she raises her long arms, Zhu Yu's thin arms and legs simply cannot reach them.
Zhu Yu glared at her, then stood on the bed, ignoring the excruciating pain in his knees, and tried to snatch the tiger tally from Lu Xiaoyun's hand.
I'm about to get my hands on it.
Lu Xiaoyun suddenly became interested, a faint smile appeared on her lips, and she tiptoed to a distance of two steps from the bed.
As a result, the tiger tally that they thought they were sure to get their hands on slipped away again.
Zhu Yu: ...
He was so angry that his chest ached: "Lu Xiaoyun, you dare to bully me like this just because you've taken over my body! Give me the tiger tally right now."
Looking at Zhu Yu's expression, Lu Xiaoyun suddenly felt like a grown man was teasing his wife, and chuckled: "Sigh, I'm just bullying you, I won't give it to you, what can you do about it?"
The veins on Zhu Yu's forehead were bulging!
Even a tiger can be bullied by dogs when it enters a plain!
Bah! It's become a case of women being bullied by men!
He's so angry!
Zhu Yu glared at her fiercely. Given her current height advantage, he knew he couldn't take it; he would have to outsmart her.
He plopped back down on the bed in anger, sulking to himself.
Lu Xiaoyun was in a great mood. She raised an eyebrow at him, sat down, shook the tiger tally in her hand, stuffed it into her belt, and even patted the bulging belt in front of Zhu Yu.
It was very provocative.
"This is intolerable!" Zhu Yu immediately straightened up and tried to snatch it, but Lu Xiaoyun grabbed his hand.
The next instant, Zhu Yu's left hand, which was not being grabbed, suddenly reached for Lu Xiaoyun's waist. In the blink of an eye, his small arm and tender hand had snatched the tiger tally from her waist and into his own hand.
Lu Xiaoyun: ...
"Zhu Yu, you're using dirty tricks!"
Holding the tiger tally in his hand, Zhu Yu raised his eyebrows defiantly at Lu Xiaoyun: "Heh, useless, it still ended up in my hands. I think you're wasting your time holding my body."
Zhu Yu, you son of a bitch!
The tiger tally couldn't be taken away so easily, and Lu Xiaoyun reached out to snatch it back.
There was no way Zhu Yu could be taken away by Lu Xiaoyun again. With his hands behind his back, he quickly retreated.
Lu Xiaoyun didn't care that Zhu Yu was in bed. She was tall and had the advantage that men had, so she pounced on him. If that bastard had taken the Tiger Tally, he would never return it to her.
She, however, had to hand over the tiger tally.
The bed wasn't very big to begin with, and Lu Xiaoyun was tall and strong. With that, she pounced on Zhu Yu and pinned him down.
Zhu Yu's mind went blank, and he felt like he was about to be crushed to death by Lu Xiaoyun. He had never felt that his body was so heavy before.
Lu Xiaoyun swung her long arm, intending to grab Zhu Yu's hand, but due to their repeated movements, the bed curtains were pulled down, enveloping the two of them.
The two rolled around on the small bed.
As a result, the already flimsy bed frame snapped with a loud bang and then collapsed to the ground with a crash.
Zhu Yu was about to vomit blood from being crushed by Lu Xiaoyun.
The bed curtains covered Lu Xiaoyun's body. With a wave of her long arm, Lu Xiaoyun quickly moved the bed curtains aside, while her body still tightly imprisoned Zhu Yu beneath her.
Hearing the noise, Li Feng and Jiang Chuan, who were waiting outside, exchanged a glance, thinking that something terrible had happened inside, and pushed open the door together.
