Li Feng stood tightly guarding Zhu Yu's bedside, her face pale, and asked, "What, what are you doing? My young lady is not feeling well, please leave."
The old women snorted coldly. They had finally waited until Prince An left the mansion so that they could properly greet this shameless slut who had climbed into the bed, as instructed by Consort Duan.
The old woman in brown clothes sneered: "Your Highness, have you forgotten that you still have ten copies of 'Women's Virtues' and 'Women's Admonitions' to finish? We servants are here to supervise Your Highness in carrying out your punishment as Your Highness has ordered."
Another old woman in a camel-colored dress sneered, "Have you forgotten? The Princess Consort is a noblewoman. Noblewomen often forget things. Otherwise, how could she not remember that she used such despicable means to climb into Prince An's bed to obtain the title of Princess Consort?"
The last old woman in the smoky-colored dress threw what she was holding heavily on the ground: "Your Highness, do you want us to force you to get up and kneel down to copy this, or will you just do it yourself?"
Zhu Yu's face turned pale, his eyes wide with anger, and his bloodshot eyes were as red as a ghost as he stared intently at the three arrogant old women in the room, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Li Feng, like a protective eagle, spread her arms to shield Zhu Yu, her body trembling, tears streaming down her face: "Miss is not feeling well today. If you're going to punish her, you should wait until she's recovered. Didn't you see that Miss doesn't look well?"
"Hmph, recover your health? Does Your Highness still think you're in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, where you can boss people around? Don't forget, this is the Prince An's mansion! In the backyard of the Prince An's mansion, Consort Duan is the master! Before she left, Consort Duan said that if Your Highness disobeys, those five hours of kneeling punishment from yesterday are not over yet!"
"We servants have plenty of time; we can keep an eye on the Princess and make sure she receives all the punishments she deserves!"
“My lady is having her period and is in terrible pain. Please, three nannies, let her go. Once she feels better, I will personally supervise her as she finishes copying the ‘Women’s Virtues’ and ‘Women’s Admonitions’ ten times.”
Zhu Yu couldn't help but feel a throbbing sensation between his brows. Now, this was terrible! He, a grown man, was having his period, and the entire Prince An's mansion knew about it!
The three old women sneered, "We servants are women too. Don't women treat their periods like a game? What don't we do during our periods? Ha, what, is she so precious? She can't even write a few words? I've never heard of such a thing in the world."
The tan-haired old woman's eyes darted around, and she said, "You've started your period, huh? That's perfect! Let me help you wash your hands first, then you can copy the text as punishment. That way you'll remember it better."
The brown-haired old woman immediately went out and brought in a basin of cold water, on which even a few pieces of cold, hard ice were floating.
Upon seeing this, Li Feng felt as if his entire body was frozen solid, and all color drained from his face: "This is ice water! Miss is menstruating, how can she touch cold water? You are trying to harm my young lady!"
"Really? Miss Li Feng, don't make false accusations. We were just trying to be helpful."
Li Feng was so angry that tears streamed down her face: "You, you all, how could you do this! How could you do this! The Prince clearly said that no one is allowed to set foot in Feixue Garden. Are you going to disobey the Prince's orders?!"
"Oh, Miss Li Feng, are you trying to complain to the Prince? Too bad, he's busy with official duties and isn't at the Prince's residence right now."
"Oh dear, what should we do? There's nowhere to complain! Tsk tsk tsk, look at her, she's so pitiful!"
The three old women burst into laughter.
Zhu Yu closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then another deep breath. His stomach, which had been feeling much better, was now wracked with waves of cramping pain again.
He is now trapped in a woman's body, yet he has to rely on Lu Xiaoyun to protect him.
How utterly ridiculous!
Zhu Yu threw off the covers and got up: "Li Feng, don't waste your breath on them. It's just ten repetitions of 'Women's Virtues' and 'Women's Admonitions.' Your young lady isn't that weak."
Li Feng choked up, "Miss...you sometimes faint from the pain during your period, Miss...your stomach will hurt even more in a little while..."
Zhu Yu felt his head buzzing, and he was in so much pain that he almost fainted. Could it be more painful than the wounds he had suffered on the battlefield?
Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his lower abdomen, causing his entire body to spasm uncontrollably.
This thing really hurts even more than a physical injury!
Zhu Yu's forehead was instantly covered with a fine layer of cold sweat.
Startled, Li Feng quickly pressed the hot water bottle tightly against Zhu Yu's stomach: "Miss, is it hurting again?"
Zhu Yu's icy hands gripped the hot water bottle tightly, and waves of chill seeped from his bones, creeping into every part of his body.
The three old women exchanged glances and stepped forward together. One of them pushed the frail Li Feng aside and held her firmly in place, while the other two women dragged Zhu Yu off the bed.
"Let go! Let go of me! Let go of my young lady!" Li Feng cried out loudly.
Zhu Yu could barely stand.
The old woman in brown clothes kicked Zhu Yu in the knee. Zhu Yu couldn't take it and fell to his knees with a thud. The pain was so bad that he almost thought his kneecaps were broken.
The old woman in the smoky-colored dress pushed a low table and other items in front of Zhu Yu and said coldly, "Your Highness, please! Since you are unwilling, we will have to invite you down!"
The brown-haired old woman grabbed Zhu Yu's two pale, thin hands and pressed them directly into the icy water.
Zhu Yu felt the chill spread from his ten fingers to his entire body, making his teeth chatter and almost causing icicles to form between his bones.
