Zhou Shiyue was naturally willing to sleep in the same room and under the same quilt with Lu Zhaoling.

But he didn't believe in himself.

He also didn't want his long-awaited wedding night to be brought forward because he couldn't control his emotions.

He hasn't slept in this room much recently because it is already being decorated and turned into a new house.

It’s just that a lot of things are still being produced, so they haven’t been brought in yet.

Qingyin and Qingbao had been following Lu Zhaoling the whole time and had not returned to the palace, so they were unaware of the situation. So when Lu Zhaoling asked them to help her to the prince's bedroom, they helped her in here.

In fact, Zhou Shiyue asked Nanny Qing to prepare a room next door for Lu Zhaoling.

He walked to the bedside, still wondering whether to sit down, when Lu Zhaoling reached out and grabbed him, exerting a little force -

(Zhou Shiyue: I wanted to resist, but she was so strong that she pulled me down in an instant)

Zhou Shiyue was pulled by her and fell onto the bed.

"Let's sleep here tonight," Lu Zhaoling explained seriously. "Don't get the wrong idea. I want to see if sharing a bed with you for one night will help me gain more luck and improve my eyesight."

Zhou Shiyue was originally distracted, but after hearing her words, his worry about her eyes instantly overshadowed the pink imagination in his heart.

He also became serious.

"You can try."

This is business.

He even reached out to help her take off her coat, "Let me help you."

After Lu Zhaoling lay down, he took off his coat and slept beside her. He extinguished the candle with his palm, lowered the bed curtain, and asked her, "Do you want me to hold you while you sleep?"

Lu Zhaoling leaned closer to him, their arms touching. She smiled softly, "No need. Actually, sleeping on your own is more comfortable than being held in someone's arms."

She didn't quite understand those couples who slept in each other's arms. Is it really comfortable to sleep with your head resting on each other's arms or chests?

When the man wakes up the next day, is it true that his arms are not numb?

"Then go to sleep."

Zhou Shiyue gently held her hand.

Even if you can't hold her while sleeping, you can still hold her hand while sleeping.

Qingyin and Qingbao stayed outside the door for a while longer.

Lu Zhaoling never asked them to keep watch at night, but when they returned to Prince Jin's Mansion, they took the initiative to guard the door.

Although the two of them didn't say it, they were somewhat worried about the prince.

At a time like this, the prince can't do anything.

After watching for half an hour and hearing no movement in the house, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. When they heard each other's reactions, they couldn't help but look at each other and smiled at the same time.

"Let's go back?" Qingbao said to Qingyin with his mouth.

"Walk."

The two maids then went to sleep with peace of mind.

In the Second Prince's Mansion, Lu Zhaoyun couldn't sleep.

She had been looking for the statue of the Demon-Suppressing Venerable, but no matter how hard she looked, it was gone.

Lu Zhaoyun was shocked and anxious.

Today she has been feeling a dull pain in her abdomen. Now that the statue is gone, she can't sleep. As soon as she closes her eyes, she will have a strange and dark nightmare. In the dream, many ghosts with different deaths keep rushing towards her, all with bared fangs and claws, as if they want to tear her apart and eat her alive.

She would always wake up in terror.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Rubao looked at her.

No one knew what happened to Lu Zhaoyun today. She actually asked someone to pick her up and said that she wanted to have a good talk with her cousin.

Lu Rubao was very willing to come to the Second Prince's Mansion.

She had had feelings for the second prince before, but the second prince did not treat her well.

Lu Zhaoyun said he wanted to sleep with her, but it was already so late and she was extremely sleepy, but Lu Zhaoyun got up from time to time, or muttered something.

Lu Zhaoyun had heard from the master surnamed Miao before that if she used some means to give birth to a child like the little emperor's grandson, her body would become extremely yin and she would be prone to nightmares within three years after giving birth.

Sleeping with the statue in her arms can block out all the bad evil spirits and nightmares for her.

She has become dependent.

The master said that if the statue was gone, she would have to find someone to sleep with, but it would be best if she found a man, and he had to be young, strong and virile.

Now where could she find a man like that to sleep with her?

She didn't dare betray the Second Prince. If he knew, her life would be in danger.

So Lu Zhaoyun could only settle for the second best and thought of Lu Rubao.

In her opinion, a girl like Lu Rubao, who grew up in the countryside and often ran around in the fields with those country boys, was more masculine than the maids in the Second Prince's mansion.

But no.

Lu Rubao slept next to her, which only made her feel more uncomfortable.

It’s more comfortable to sleep in a bed by myself. Lu Rubao’s sleeping habits are not good at all.

"Get out." Lu Zhaoyun said to her impatiently.

Lu Rubao looked at her in disbelief, "Sister Zhaoyun, you want me to leave now? Where should I go?"

She couldn't go back to the Lu family so late at night.

"Just find a maid and ask her to find you a place to sleep!" Lu Zhaoyun couldn't stand her being here any longer, "Get out, get out."

Before Lu Rubao could even put on his outer coat, she pushed and chased him out.

The door slammed shut.

Looking at the dark shadows outside, Lu Rubao shuddered.

Where is the maid?

She clutched her clothes tightly and walked out, wanting to see if there were any maids who were still awake. When she walked into the yard, she saw a man walking towards her with a lantern.

"Ah!" Lu Rubao was startled, but her scream also scared the other party.

"who?!"

"Brother-in-law?" Lu Rubao saw clearly that the person coming was the second prince.

She felt some resentment towards Lu Zhaoyun and was a little afraid of being alone. These emotions combined together made her previous thoughts move again when she suddenly saw the second prince.

There were many cases in the Great Zhou Dynasty where sisters served the same man together.

There were also sisters who entered the palace as concubines, not to mention that she and Lu Zhaoyun were only cousins?

After coming into contact with people of the Second Prince's class, she no longer looked down on anyone else.

"Lu Rubao?" The Second Prince also saw her and frowned. "Why are you here?"

"Brother-in-law, it was Sister Zhaoyun who called me in, but she just kicked me out. You'd better not go in. She's like crazy now."

As Lu Rubao spoke, he ran towards the Second Prince quickly, looking as if he was about to throw himself into his arms.

The second prince immediately dodged to the side.

"Don't call me brother-in-law, you should call me Second Prince."

Lu Rubao couldn't stop and fell to the ground. Her palms were bleeding and she started crying in grievance.

"unlucky."

The second prince originally thought that he was tired from playing in the brothel, and Lu Zhaoyun was his son's mother after all, so he came to keep her company. Now he doesn't want to go in at all.

He turned and left.

"Brother-in-law..."

Lu Zhaobao's shout only made the second prince walk faster.

It was enough for him to get close to a woman of low status like Lu Zhaoyun. He was not such a picky person. Why would he want to get close to such an immature country girl?
