Chapter 406 The Last Sweetness



Chapter 406 The Last Sweetness

Luo Yu looked up at the man standing in front of her. He seemed much more composed than the dashing young man he had been before. He had been having a hard time these days and his face looked haggard.

At this moment, he stood there like a piece of wood, not saying a word, just looking at her straight.

Luo Yu chuckled: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Today, you will follow me to the mansion and be well taken care of."

The tone of voice didn't allow her to refute at all. Luo Yu thought that he definitely couldn't go out again tomorrow. Almost everyone in the palace was under the control of the Queen Mother. Going to Prince Ning's Mansion might be the best option.

"Okay, but we're not engaged yet. Aren't you afraid of what others might say?" Luo Yu wasn't worried about herself. She could just walk away when the time came, and no one would bother her. The only person she couldn't let go of was this gentleman.

Thinking of this, Luo Yu looked at his red eyes again, and simply lowered his eyes, not wanting to look at him anymore.

Zhu Jinyou didn't allow her to resist any longer. He went over and picked her up, ready to take her back home personally.

Luo Yu hurriedly picked up the drawing on the table. He had to finish the finale in the next few days. He was really afraid that he would die in the future, so he wanted to at least leave some works behind.

Zhu Jinyou asked Lan Ying to cover the girl with the mink cloak, and he carried her out of Funing Palace. On the way, he did not ask her what was wrong with her, and she did not communicate with him, but just put her hands around his neck and looked at him fixedly.

The guards following closely stood several feet away, fearing that they would disturb the two people's affectionate companionship.

After a while, Zhu Jinyou lowered his eyes and found that she was staring at him intently, so he asked: "Why are you staring at me?"

"Your Highness, actually, my health collapsed after I gave birth to a child."

Zhu Jinyou's eyes trembled slightly, and his voice was dry: "Why are you saying this suddenly?"

"I was very weak at the time, thinking my body might not be able to hold on for much longer. Later, I tried every possible way to escape from the palace. I was running for my life the whole way..."

Her voice became lower and lower, and Zhu Jinyou knew what she was indicating.

"Don't say anymore. From now on, just take good care of yourself at home. Don't worry too much."

"I'm not worried about that. I just want to tell you that since I met you, the time you asked me to go to Jiangzhou City was actually the most peaceful time I've ever lived. It was so nice to be free from worries. Of course, except for the fact that you insisted on shooting the White Tiger with an arrow, which made me worried for a long time."

Zhu Jinyou didn't know why she brought up those things in the past, and said with a smile: "You remember those bad things so clearly."

Luo Yu laughed heartlessly: "I remember every day I spent with you. Back then, I never thought I would be with you. I thought you only admired my talents and would never like someone like me."

"In the future, when I'm not busy anymore, I'll take you to Jiangzhou City. We'll stay there and stop worrying about anything going on in the capital."

Luo Yu shook his head: "No, you must take the position of regent well. The country cannot be without a ruler for a day. As long as the emperor's health has not recovered, you will not have a day to rest."

Zhu Jinyou gave a wry smile. She had carefully considered everything for him. Zhu Jinyou sent her to the carriage. Song Si glanced at the pale Miss Luo Yu and was stunned for a moment. The reins in his hand trembled slightly. He finally understood why His Highness almost tripped over the threshold when he ran out. Miss Luo Yu must be very, very heartbroken!

Luo Yu seemed to feel his cells repairing themselves, as if he were resurrected. It seemed the repair and damage capabilities of this ability existed simultaneously, without conflict. It just depended on which would repair faster or damage faster. He had to avoid tomorrow's accident.

After returning to the palace and settling Luo Yu, Zhu Jinyou did not leave again. He asked people to move all the memorials that needed to be reviewed into the bedroom. Luo Yu looked at the bedroom and found it very familiar. It was exactly the same as his bedroom in Jiangzhou City.

Luo Yu didn't want to waste time lying in bed, so she asked someone to bring the table in front of her so that she could finish the draft while sitting on the bed.

Zhu Jinyou did not stop her decision. He sat with her on the bed and said that he wanted to see the drafts she had drawn. Although he had never missed every issue after it was published, he now took the initiative to ask to see the one she had just finished.

Luo Yu told him to read it freely. Zhu Jinyou took the manuscript and saw a line on the first page: "Final Chapter?" His face suddenly turned pale.

His lips trembled slightly: "Why is it the final chapter?"

Luo Yu patiently explained to him: "Aqiang was just having a long dream. This kind of escape from reality will eventually lead to a day of awakening."

He was as stubborn as a child, his tone sounding helpless yet pleading: "Why should I wake up? If he's happy in his dream, why not just let him stay in that world?"

His voice trembled slightly, as if he was questioning her real purpose, but after thinking for a long time, he still didn't ask, "Do you really want to leave this world like Aqiang?"

Luo Yu felt that he was being a bit childish, so he smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, Master Zhu, I have never thought of leaving you. It would be great if we could work together to change the current situation of the lower-class people."

"Well, Luo Yu can't go back on his word."

Luo Yu took the initiative to kiss him on the cheek and said with a smile: "Finish the work at hand first. When I finish the draft, we can do something happy."

Zhu Jinyou smiled helplessly and pinched her face: "No, I won't do it anymore. You are not in good health, you need to rest well."

Luo Yu's eyes turned cold, and he curled his lips and said, "What I'm saying is, I have new mechanical drawings to tell you about."

This busy work lasted for several hours. When the maid brought the medicine, Zhu Jinyou put down his writing and fed her the medicine himself.

Luo Yu hated drinking these Chinese medicines the most, which were even more bitter than the hard days before Concubine Ying gave birth. They were not tasty to begin with, but he insisted on feeding him mouthful by mouthful, making it more bitter every time he drank it.

"Zhu Jinyou, give me the bowl. I'm full. It's too bitter to feed it mouthful by mouthful."

Before Zhu Jinyou could react, he saw her take the bowl and drink it in one gulp. Zhu Jinyou was so scared that he quickly put a candied date into her mouth.

Luo Yu's face was distorted with bitterness, and the candied dates in his mouth didn't even taste particularly sweet.

"good to eat."

Zhu Jinyou picked up another one, but she shook her head: "I won't eat it anymore. I'm not afraid of bitterness, but I can't stand it being too sweet."

"How can it be so sweet?" Zhu Jinyou said and put the candied dates into his mouth and chewed them. They were indeed very sweet, so sweet that it made him choke.

When the candied dates were no longer sweet after chewing, he suddenly leaned over and put the candied dates in his mouth into her mouth with his tongue. Luo Yu was stunned. "Sir, don't you feel disgusted?"

But what could she do? His stubbornness made her force herself to accept it.

The entanglement could no longer be controlled, and the two of them kissed unscrupulously. The astringent taste of medicine in Luo Yu's mouth gently flowed into Zhu Jinyou's mouth. He wanted the sweetness in his mouth to drown out the taste of medicine, but he didn't expect that what came with it was an even more astringent bitter taste.

Luo Yu was kissed by him until he gasped for breath. When he broke away from his passionate kiss, his cheeks were flushed, but his eyes were sparkling.

"Zhu Jinyou, if I were really gone, would you be with another woman?"

Zhu Jinyou couldn't bear to hear her say such words. His eyes darkened and he didn't know how to answer her. He simply shut her mouth and told her to stop talking nonsense.
