Chapter 409 He Risked His Life
Not long after, Zhu Jinyou arrived panting.
This time, his eyes were red just like last time. No, it seemed that his eyes were redder than in his previous life.
Luo Yu didn't know if it was his own illusion. Why did he look different? Calculating the time again, it seemed to be much earlier than in his previous life.
Before leaving, Luo Yu said that she wanted to have some private conversation with Xia Liang and Lan Ying. Zhu Jinyou did not immediately carry her away. Instead, he nodded and left the room on his own initiative.
Xia Liang didn't know what was wrong, so he asked Lan Ying, "Did Eunuch Gao send someone to look for Prince Ning?"
Lan Ying had been in the palace for a long time, and any question from her master had a hidden meaning. She thought for a long time before she said cautiously, "I heard from the eunuch that the person sent ran into His Highness before he left the palace."
Xia Liang certainly understood what this meant. He exchanged a glance with Luo Yu and it seemed that things were becoming interesting.
When Luo Yu was about to step out of the house, Xia Liang hugged her from behind, put his face on her back, and said pitifully: "Sister, take care, I will miss you."
Luo Yu brushed aside the strands of hair on Xia Liang's forehead and said with a smile, "I'm just staying at His Majesty's residence for a few days. You must take good care of His Majesty."
After they finished speaking, they said goodbye reluctantly. From beginning to end, Zhu Jinyou did not rush her at all.
Luo Yu always felt that there was something different about Zhu Jinyou, but she didn't dare to ask more.
Everything that happened afterwards was more or less similar to the first life. Luo Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Every life had subtle changes. She must have been overthinking it. Although Zhu Jinyou had said that he had dreamed of a passionate love affair with her when Baihu was in trouble, was it just that the scene was so profound that he remembered it?
Luo Yu suddenly gasped. Perhaps it was because of this lingering scene, their physical connection, that he was dreaming of those past lives that had happened and then disappeared? He had also heard that dreams are actually events that happened to themselves in another parallel world.
So, in this life, Zhu Jinyou felt dazed? If it were anyone else, they would probably have a mental breakdown!
The two of them woke up again from the sweet embrace of lovemaking. This time, Luo Yu woke up much earlier than in her previous life. She wanted to persuade Zhu Jinyou not to go to the Queen Mother.
Seeing the person in his arms wake up, Zhu Jinyou smiled and said, "You got up much earlier today than usual."
Luo Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and tried hard to open them. He used his hands to block the faint light in front of her eyes to prevent the light from irritating her.
"Zhu Jinyou, don't go anywhere today. Just stay with me, okay?"
"Well, I'll stay in bed with the girl today."
"..."
Luo Yu certainly didn't just want to be with him all day and all night. Even if they didn't go out, who knew if those assassins would come out from some corner to murder her? These people could move freely in Prince Ning's mansion and probably knew more about its intricacies than Luo Yu did.
It was still early, and someone sent by the Queen Mother came outside the door to order Zhu Jinyou to go over.
Zhu Jinyou asked his maid to refuse, saying that he was not feeling well today.
Luo Yu leaned in his arms, feeling like a cunning vixen who specialized in seducing kings and bringing disaster to the country and the people.
Thinking of this, she actually laughed.
Zhu Jinyou lowered his head and looked at the person in his arms, who was stroking his chest with her slender and soft fingertips, with a foolish smile on his face.
"Qin Luoyu, what are you laughing at?"
"The Queen Mother would be furious if she knew you were warming my bed in my room instead of going to see her."
"The Queen Mother should be happy. She is very much looking forward to her eldest son getting married and having children soon."
After saying that, Zhu Jinyou gently kissed her slightly upturned lips again. When he slightly inserted the tip of his tongue, Luo Yu gently pushed him away.
"If my body is unable to bear children, will you find another woman to bear children with? You are a member of the royal family, you can't really be alone."
"Why are you suddenly saying this?"
Luo Yu did not answer him, but just looked towards the door. A few feet away, behind the screen, a row of neatly arranged maids were waiting respectfully to serve their two masters.
The sleeping area of the royal family's bedroom was only about ten square meters, but beyond the screen was a spacious space, devoid of any extra furniture. Although bare, the carved beams and painted buildings within the room exuded splendor. The ten or so delicate and beautiful maids waiting outside the screen seemed to blend seamlessly with the interior decor.
Zhu Jinyou laughed dumbly and pinched her cheek: "Why are you arguing with a maid?"
"Are we two naked people going to have to be dressed by them?"
Zhu Jinyou touched his chin. He had never thought about this question because he rarely got out of bed naked.
"These girls are all extremely beautiful, and their skin is so soft and fresh that it looks like they could squeeze out water. If I marry you and I can't have children, do you think the Queen Mother will let you find a girl here to bear children for me?"
Luo Yu paused for a moment, blinking and looking at Zhu Jinyou innocently, "Just like Concubine Ying back then, she was forced to serve her master."
When Zhu Jinyou heard her mention Concubine Ying, he knew that she was thinking about something bad, so he said to the maid outside: "You all should go out, and don't come in to serve me casually in the future."
"Yes!"
After the maids left, Luo Yu quickly got out of bed and put on her clothes, but she didn't expect Zhu Jinyou to put his arms around her waist from behind, and his head rested lightly on the back of her waist.
There was a hint of desolation in the low and slightly hoarse voice.
"Luo Yu, where do you want to go? I'll go for a walk with you today."
Luo Yu paused. He couldn't leave right now. It was too dangerous! There were assassins everywhere, and it was hard to defend against them. Staying in the house was also dangerous. They wouldn't harm Zhu Jinyou, so the poisoning would only be done to her secretly. Luo Yu couldn't understand. Could the poisoning only be done by cutting the skin with a poisoned weapon? Would they also poison the food?
"Zhu Jinyou, I don't want to go out. Let's make something delicious at home today."
"What do you want to do?"
"Make egg tarts, a kind of pastry with a crispy outer crust and a sweet and tender inner texture. When they are ready, take some to the palace to send to the Queen Mother."
Zhu Jinyou let her go and turned her around to face him. A malicious smile flashed across his face: "Why is Miss Luo Yu suddenly thinking about the Queen Mother?"
"I don't want you to be caught in a dilemma because of my disagreement with the Queen Mother. Zhu Jinyou, I like you very much and don't want you to be caught in a dilemma for me anymore."
Therefore, she had to deal with these messes by herself. If the person who really wanted to kill her was the Queen Mother, should she tell Zhu Jinyou? It was really contradictory.
Zhu Jinyou had never imagined that she would so casually say that she loved him very much, as if these words were just the most ordinary things she would say in her daily life. His heart was even more flustered and uneasy. She was so different from the ordinary, and he always felt that something was wrong.
"Qin Luoyu, today I will accompany you to make the egg tarts you want to eat."
"Ah."
Her gentle smile was indescribably beautiful in his eyes. Zhu Jinyou's vision suddenly became blurry, as if she was getting farther and farther away from him.
