Qiao Qiao angrily clutched her stomach as she got up.

“Fu Xiaoyu, I know you’re very capable, but don’t forget whose territory this is. Besides, you’re poisoned. If I don’t give you the antidote soon, you’ll suffer terribly. Think it through.”

After she finished speaking, she got up and left, her stomach aching a little from being pushed by Fu Xiaoyu.

This child absolutely cannot be allowed to make any mistakes.

After she left, Fu Xiaoyu was left alone in the entire pink room.

At that moment, he thought of Cui Yulu and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.

The Heart-Connecting Gu has taken effect.

The more he missed her, the more active the Gu worm became.

The pain in his body became increasingly intense.

At the same time, he felt another force within his body opposing him.

This feeling caused him unbearable pain.

He frantically destroyed things in the house, but it did nothing to alleviate the pain in his body.

"Fu Xiaoyu, now you know how powerful I am. I can make you wish you were dead, and I can make her wish she were dead. You'd better agree to my request now, or you will both die a terrible death."

At this moment, Qiao Qiao was no longer gentle, and her gaze became fierce.

It seemed that if Fu Xiaoyu didn't agree to her conditions, Cui Yulu wouldn't be safe either.

What exactly did you do to me?

Why is his body in so much pain?

"I didn't do anything, but I knew you had a Gu worm on you, so I did some tampering with it. I also know that you have a pair of Gu worms, the other one is on your princess, right? If you want her to be safe, then agree to my conditions, and I promise I won't make things difficult for her."

Fu Xiaoyu stared intently at the woman before him, who resembled a venomous snake, and said sharply, "You're dreaming. I will never agree to this, no matter what."

Qiao Qiao wasn't angry, but her eyes were full of sinister intent.

"It's fine if you don't agree, but you'll agree sooner or later anyway."

After he finished speaking, another sweet aroma filled the room.

Fu Xiaoyu felt a terrible headache when she smelled that odor.

Meanwhile, Cui Yulu, who was on her way to Kyoto, was also feeling extremely annoyed.

I always feel a tightness in my chest, as if a big stone is pressing on my heart.

In addition to being pregnant with twins, I felt completely dizzy and lightheaded.

Third Sister saw all of this and quickly asked softly, "Yu Lu, are you feeling unwell? Why do you look so pale?"

"I just feel a little uncomfortable in my chest. It's probably because I've been in the carriage for a long time and my body is feeling a bit unwell. I should be fine after resting at the post station in a while."

Seeing Cui Yulu's pale face, San Niang didn't say anything more. She just told the driver to quicken his pace and get to the inn as soon as possible so that Cui Yulu could rest for a while longer.

Cui Yulu can empathize with how difficult it must have been for Fu Xiaoyu to leave.

The pain became increasingly intense.

Cui Yulu's face grew paler and paler.

After three years, the carriage had to be stopped, and Ji Xiaotang was summoned to treat Cui Yulu.

But as soon as the carriage came to a stop, a group of men in black suddenly ran out from the surrounding area.

They surrounded the carriage.

"Is Princess Yu in the carriage?"

The leader of the men in black asked loudly.

However, Lin Yun had made arrangements in advance, placing the guards around the carriage.

"Who are you people, and why are you looking for Princess Yu?"

Tuoba Xuan got off the carriage and looked at those people with hostility.

She knew in her heart that they definitely had ulterior motives in looking for Cui Yulu.

"Hmph, I only asked to find Princess Yu because I have some things to resolve. It has nothing to do with you. You'd better not meddle in other people's business."

The man in black at the head of the group looked at Tuoba Xuan with an arrogant expression.

He seemed to completely disregard those guards.

Knowing that Fu Xiaoyu's bodyguards were all highly trained experts, anyone who heard of Fu Xiaoyu's bodyguards would feel afraid.

The man in front of them didn't seem afraid of them at all, and didn't even consider them a threat.

"You petty thieves want my sister? I think you've got a death wish."

As he spoke, Tuoba Xuan began to move, his short sword flashing as he slashed at the men in black.

The guards behind him were also engaged in a fierce battle with the men in black.

Blood splattered everywhere, and shouts of battle rose and fell.

Inside the carriage, Cui Yulu felt even more irritated, and her head began to ache.

He found himself vomiting without realizing it.

This terrified Du Sanniang.

At this moment, everyone outside was fighting desperately, and Cui Yulu inside the carriage was also experiencing abnormal physical symptoms, putting everyone in a dilemma.

"Third Sister, you all go first, don't worry about me. They're looking for me, just leave me here."

"What nonsense are you spouting? How could we just stand by and watch you get arrested? Would we even be human?"

Du San Niang sternly refused.

"My current situation will only drag everyone down. Rather than have you all die with me, I'd rather go and meet them myself."

"Even if we all die here today, we will stay with you. We will never let you go to your death alone."

Third Sister's words were forceful and resounding, and Xia Lan'er echoed them.

Their actions made Cui Yulu feel gratified; it was truly worthwhile to have such good friends in this life.

Inside the Fallen Flower Cave, Qiao Qiao looked at Fu Xiaoyu, who was in great pain, without a trace of pity in her eyes, which did not seem like she liked him at all.

"You just want to use me, why go to all this trouble?"

Fu Xiaoyu also saw through her intentions. Right now, for Cui Yulu's sake, he had to calm down and negotiate properly with this woman.

"Hehe, why would I use you? I just want you to take responsibility for me. Besides, I've had enough of being a nun and want to be a queen. Only you can satisfy me."

"If you want to be a princess, you can find other men. Why do you want to marry me? I already have someone I love and I will never marry another woman."

Qiao Qiao still looked at him with a cold face.

"You need to think this through. Your woman is in a very dangerous situation right now. Your pain is affecting everything she does, and as far as I know, your enemies seem to be looking for revenge on her. Do you really think she can escape?"

She noticed a change in Fu Xiaoyu's expression; he was struggling to suppress the pain in his body.

I'm even trying to calm myself down.

This amused her, so she whispered in his ear, "Oh, right, I almost forgot to tell you, your queen is at least five months pregnant, didn't you know?"

This sentence completely broke Fu Xiaoyu's defenses. His Yulu was pregnant. She was pregnant when he went to war. How hard must she have been all these days?

He couldn't imagine how Cui Yulu would face everything in the Prince's mansion without him.

Thinking about this, he felt even more guilty towards Cui Yulu.

"Furthermore, your princess was devastated upon learning of your death. To comfort her, the Imperial Noble Consort Jia has brought her into the palace to properly train her."

"And another thing, that Imperial Noble Consort doesn't seem very satisfied with you as her princess consort. Can you really bear to let your princess consort suffer over there?"
