Lu Xiaoyun just wanted to see Zhu Yu as soon as possible.
Ren Yong'an, ha, this woman's lethality seems to be comparable to two fat women plus two Zhang Mama. She has contributed so many points in such a short time.
That's true. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and naturally the faster the score will rise.
However, according to Feng Yan, Ren Yong'an still didn't tell him why she approached Zhu Yu.
Otherwise, given her skill level, she probably would have added more than 500 points to Zhu Yu's score; two or three thousand would be more likely.
Seeing his master's state, Feng Yan briefly recounted how Zhu Yu had bribed the maids, which Yuan Xiu discovered and beat, and how Yuan Xiu had forbade any servant in the mansion from speaking to him.
Lu Xiaoyun's lips twitched after hearing this, but she also breathed a huge sigh of relief. If he were really stupid enough to steal money from the study, then he would be in big trouble.
However, she never expected that Zhu Yu would even come up with such an idea, actually resorting to bribing the servants. He must be desperate to get back into his own body.
As a result, not only did he suffer a backlash from the system, but the palace maids and eunuchs that Consort Duan brought with her, who originally had little ill will towards him, now also hated him.
What's that called again? Trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead.
She genuinely felt sorry for Zhu Yu.
Thinking this, Lu Xiaoyun quickened her pace.
Feng Yan and Jiang Chuan followed Lu Xiaoyun toward the front hall.
Jiang Chuan asked, puzzled, "Your Highness, this is, after all, the Prince An's residence. Why isn't Miss Yong'an afraid of being overheard?"
Lu Xiaoyun looked at Feng Yan: "Have all the people here been evacuated by Mother Consort?"
Feng Yan nodded and said, "Yes, it was Consort Duan who gave the order. She must have deliberately left Miss Yong'an and her people behind to torment the Princess."
Jiang Chuan nodded. Ren Yong'an was so unscrupulous, both instigating and personally taking action, that he certainly didn't know Feng Yan was in the mansion.
Feng Yan is highly skilled in martial arts; if he wants to hide his presence, no one in the mansion will notice.
"Feng Yan, take some of the best wound medicine to Feixue Garden first. I'm going to Yunmei Garden."
Feng Yan paused for a moment, then looked up at "Prince An" before lowering his head and saying, "Yes."
Lu Xiaoyun's brow twitched. Feng Yan was too perceptive; he had most likely noticed something was wrong with her.
He can't know yet.
"Feng Yan." Lu Xiaoyun called out to Feng Yan, who had already walked some distance away.
Feng Yan turned around, still maintaining a respectful demeanor, and said, "Master."
"I will send someone else to deliver the medicine. You must immediately investigate what Li Quan and Wang Zhemao did after I left. Also, have someone keep an eye on Li Qi's body to see if anyone will collect it, without alerting them. In addition, have someone investigate whether Li Qi has any particularly obvious characteristics. Make sure to pin the assassination attempt on Li Quan and Li Qi, grandfather and grandson."
Lu Xiaoyun said coldly, "Ha, one Li Qi is not enough!"
Feng Yan looked up at Lu Xiaoyun and suddenly realized that this was his master. If you offend him, a whole bunch of people will die with him.
On the day of his master's wedding, a full hour had passed since the assassination attempt, and Li Quan finally arrived with his men.
The Jingzhao Prefecture government office was only one street away from the Prince An's residence. When the assassination occurred, the sound could even reach the Jingzhao Prefecture government office. Moreover, at that time, they had only been eating at the banquet for less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
Isn't Li Quan doing this just waiting for his master to be killed?
Master, you've finally made your move.
Feng Yan's initial doubts dissipated after hearing Lu Xiaoyun's instruction: "Yes, I will do it immediately."
After saying that, he immediately left the mansion.
Seeing Feng Yan's expression, Lu Xiaoyun knew she had managed to fool him for the time being, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Feng Yan was too difficult to deal with; if the system hadn't prohibited it, she would have told Feng Yan long ago.
Lu Xiaoyun had read the files in the study. Among the twenty-three people who died on the Northwest battlefield was Li Quan's eldest grandson. The assassination on the day of the wedding was probably related to Li Quan all along.
If he wanted to protect the entire Li family, even if he knew this person was his own grandson, he wouldn't dare to acknowledge him and could only swallow his bitterness.
Assassinating a prince is tantamount to treason and should result in the extermination of nine generations of one's family.
Lu Xiaoyun randomly selected a servant to deliver the medicine, while she led Jiang Chuan towards Yunmei Garden.
Upon arriving at the main hall of Yunmei Garden, they saw Li Feng clinging to Zhu Yu's neck, weeping uncontrollably.
Zhu Yu's expression, however, was very strange.
His face was swollen like a pig's head, and he looked completely dazed. No matter how Li Feng shook him, he didn't say a word, as if he had completely given up on life.
Upon seeing Lu Xiaoyun, Li Feng immediately turned around and repeatedly kowtowed, pleading, "Your Highness, please save my young lady! I beg you, I'm begging you!"
Thump, thump, thump, blood slid down Li Feng's forehead and dripped onto Zhu Yu's hand with a plop.
Zhu Yu jerked his hand back sharply; the drop of blood felt like hot oil, scalding the back of his hand.
Lu Xiaoyun's lips twitched, but she ultimately did not move.
Zhu Yu looked up at Lu Xiaoyun, who was standing three zhang away from him, and felt a mix of emotions.
He stopped looking at her, instead helping Li Feng up and wiping the blood from her forehead with his sleeve, his voice hoarse as he said, "Get up, don't beg her..."
She'd probably be thrilled to see me like this.
How could he let her see him in such a disheveled state?
Li Feng shook his head, tears and blood mingling on his face. He broke free from Zhu Yu, faced Lu Xiaoyun, and pleaded, "Your Highness..."
Lu Xiaoyun frowned slightly, glanced at Zhu Yu, and said to Li Feng, "Help your young lady up and come back to Feixue Garden with me."
Zhu Yu looked at her.
Li Feng immediately stopped crying and replied loudly, "Yes! Thank you, Your Highness." After saying that, Li Feng went to help Zhu Yu up.
Zhu Yu's legs were in excruciating pain.
Li Feng was also injured. She went to help Zhu Yu, but she didn't know that she was not strong enough. It looked like the two of them were about to fall to the ground.
Lu Xiaoyun immediately stepped forward, reached out and put her arm around Zhu Yu's slender waist, lifting him up from the ground.
The man's arms were full of strength, and his large hand wrapped around Zhu Yu's waist. Zhu Yu's body stiffened slightly, and he looked at Lu Xiaoyun.
At this moment, Lu Xiaoyun was looking at him with her eyes lowered.
Originally, they were a pair of extremely cold eyes, but Lu Xiaoyun's eyes gained a touch of charm, filled with ambiguous emotions.
Li Feng thought the two were really going to fall, and his face had already turned pale. Seeing that the prince had caught him, he quickly helped Zhu Yu up and then curtsied to Lu Xiaoyun: "Your Highness, this servant..."
Lu Xiaoyun waved her hand: "Help him back to Feixue Garden to apply the medicine."
"yes."
Li Feng was about to help Zhu Yu leave.
"Your Highness," a maidservant stepped forward to stop him.
Jiang Chuan turned around when he heard the voice. He recognized the maid; she was Miss Yong'an's personal maid.
After hearing Feng Yan's words, and seeing the "Princess's" injuries, Jiang Chuan understood everything.
Ren Yong'an's usual quiet and gentle demeanor was all an act; he had been deceiving the prince all along.
If she hadn't said those words herself today, and if Feng Yan hadn't happened to overhear them, the prince would still be in the dark.
Jiang Chuan looked at "Prince An" with sympathy.
