Therefore, Zhu Yu, just like his previous life, was without parental love.
Saying that Zhu Yu is unpredictable and capricious, that he is ruthless and vicious, and that he kills without hesitation, is just another protective shield he seeks for himself.
Only in this way could he persuade the old emperor to temporarily suppress his intention to kill him.
A prince with only military power and no foundation in the court would find it extremely difficult to seize the throne.
The more others disliked him and the more memorials were submitted impeaching him, the more at ease the old emperor felt.
She had looked at many things in the study these past few days. All the people Zhu Yu had killed deserved to die.
Take those twenty-three young masters from powerful families, for example. Driven by their own selfish desires, they disregarded the safety of their soldiers and acted rashly, resulting in the deaths of nearly ten thousand innocent soldiers.
He simply used that cold exterior and ruthless methods to completely conceal his fragile heart, preventing anyone from seeing through it.
Lu Xiaoyun took the tiger tally and went out. Jiang Chuan and Li Feng noticed her pale face, but neither dared to approach her to ask what had happened. They could only exchange knowing glances, their faces saying, "You know what happened."
Jiang Chuan's hands went limp, and he said silently, "I don't know."
Li Feng rolled her eyes at him disdainfully.
Jiang Chuan hurried a few steps to catch up.
Back in the study, Jiang Chuan had already laid out the official business to be handled that day on his desk.
A thick stack.
Lu Xiaoyun's brow twitched; she couldn't do that.
Lu Xiaoyun nodded with her brows furrowed, her mind in turmoil. Should she go and consult Zhu Yu again?
Suddenly, a dark figure appeared. Having learned her lesson from Feng Yan, Lu Xiaoyun was much calmer and asked Wu Chuan, the Dark Two who had appeared in front of her, "What is it?"
Wu Chuan said, "Master, please go to Feixue Garden to see the Princess Consort. Something has happened to her."
Lu Xiaoyun was startled: "What's wrong? What happened?" She had only just arrived from Feixue Garden half an hour ago, how could something have happened again?
Zhu Yu, can you just shut up for once?!
She looked down at the ring, but the numbers on it hadn't changed.
"The princess refused to say, but she looked extremely pale and was curled up on the bed. I dared not enter the room, so I beg you, my lord, to go and see her."
Lu Xiaoyun threw down the official documents in her hand and walked towards Feixue Garden at an extremely fast pace.
Jiang Chuan was completely bewildered. Did the prince really care about the princess so much now?
Wu Chuan followed behind, seeing the prince's worried expression, and secretly made up his mind that he had to talk to Jiang Chuan about this matter. The prince definitely had feelings for the princess.
Otherwise, why be nervous?
In the desolate Feixue Garden, only Zhu Yu lay alone on the bed.
Li Feng has also disappeared.
When Lu Xiaoyun entered the room, she saw that Zhu Yu was pale, his small face was scrunched up, and he was curled up in a ball under the covers, his forehead covered in cold sweat.
Weren't you just fine a moment ago?
"What's wrong with you? Where do you feel unwell?" Lu Xiaoyun sat down by the bed and reached out to touch his forehead. He didn't have a fever.
Zhu Yu was in so much pain that he almost fainted. When he opened his eyes and saw Lu Xiaoyun, his lips moved. Today, they had finally opened up to each other. He said with difficulty, "Lu Xiaoyun, I'm afraid I can't protect your body anymore."
As he spoke, large beads of cold sweat rolled down his forehead again.
"Where exactly are you feeling unwell? Wu Chuan, go and fetch Physician Jiang, immediately!" Lu Xiaoyun shouted outside.
"Yes!" After saying that, Wu Chuan disappeared with a single step.
Jiang Chuan, who was outside, scratched his head and moved away from the house.
Zhu Yu smiled bitterly: "Lu Xiaoyun, you no longer need to worry about me taking back my body. You can be a prince in peace from now on. I am sorry for what happened before, but I can't control what happens in the future. Please protect the Prince An's mansion. All the servants and guards have followed me through thick and thin, and they haven't had a few days of peace."
Zhu Yu closed his eyes: "That's it. You can leave now. Let me wait to die alone."
Lu Xiaoyun asked anxiously, "What exactly happened? Tell me!" Her words sounded a bit like a dying wish.
Is it true that people speak good words when they are about to die?
Did the dignified Prince An apologize to her?
Did he tell her what was to come after him?
"I...I'm afraid I've been poisoned." After saying that, another sharp pain shot through his stomach, followed by a chill that made him curl up like a pretzel, his whole body trembling uncontrollably with cold.
These are typical symptoms of poisoning.
"Poisoning? Who would come to this backyard to poison you?"
Zhu Yu sneered: "Who else could it be? You've investigated what happened on the wedding day? Who ordered those assassins in black? You know all about it?"
Lu Xiaoyun was puzzled: "Wasn't the person you, Prince An, Zhu Yu, supposed to kill on your wedding day? But now you are Lu Xiaoyun. If anyone is to be killed, it should be me. Who would kill a woman who can't even kill a chicken? And why come to the backyard to poison her? Wouldn't a single stab be quicker?"
Despite his severe stomach pain, Zhu Yu still gave Lu Xiaoyun a disdainful look: "The eldest daughter of the Lu family died in the Prince An's mansion. What do you think the final outcome would be? Is poisoning the same as killing her with a knife?"
"So, you suspect someone poisoned you to incite conflict between my father and brothers and you, so that the person behind it can reap the benefits?"
"Not too stupid." After saying that, Zhu Yu's face twitched again, and he clutched his stomach tightly. It really hurt, and he felt like he was going to faint from the pain.
Lu Xiaoyun looked at Zhu Yu's curled-up position and the bulge under the blanket and asked, "Do you have a stomachache?"
Zhu Yu nodded, gritted his teeth, and seemed to make a great decision before saying, "Not only that, but there's also blood flowing from that place."
"That place, which place?"
Zhu Yu's face was pale as he glanced at Lu Xiaoyun's crotch: "As long as I move, the blood keeps flowing uncontrollably, in waves. The more I move, the more it flows. I have never seen such a poison before. It is probably a new poison they have made. Perhaps they don't even have an antidote yet."
Lu Xiaoyun finally understood what was going on, and the corners of her mouth turned up, and then up again.
Then……
"Hahahaha... Zhu Yu, you've finally met your match, hahahaha..." Lu Xiaoyun laughed so hard she pounded the bed.
I couldn't hold it in any longer.
Zhu Yu was in excruciating pain in his stomach, the pain coming in waves. He gasped for breath and roared, "Lu Xiaoyun! What, are you so happy that I'm about to die? Aren't you afraid that the Duke of Zhenguo will cause trouble for the Prince of An's mansion? You like my body that much!"
"Hahahaha, Zhu Yu, you, you're on your period, and you still, you still poisoned me, hahahaha..." Lu Xiaoyun laughed so hard she could hardly breathe.
"Menstruation? What does that mean?" Zhu Yu had a bad feeling and instinctively felt that it was not a good thing.
Sure enough, look, Lu Xiaoyun is laughing so hard that tears are streaming down her face.
Lu Xiaoyun finally managed to stop laughing: "Zhu Yu, you're twenty-three years old, you don't even know what menstruation is, do you?"
Zhu Yu shook his head. He was a grown man who spent most of his time in the military, surrounded by men. How could he possibly know what menstruation was?
"You're not still a virgin, are you? Haha..."
Zhu Yu blinked, confused. Virgin? Jealous? What does that mean?
