Leaving aside the changes at the palace for now, things aren't exactly peaceful in Jingyuan Town either.
After Lai Guitou and Xia Lan'er brought Cui Yufang back, they had not seen Cui Yulu. Suddenly, they remembered their master's instructions and guessed that their master was right. Cui Yulu must have encountered some danger, otherwise she would not have stayed away all night.
"Lan'er, do you think Yulu is in danger? Otherwise, why hasn't she come back to find us all night? And Brother Tuoba Xuan and the others are not here either. What's going on?"
"Is there even a question? Something must have happened. If you hadn't been so playful, we wouldn't have been unable to find them."
Lai Guitou looked completely innocent; no matter what they talked about, it always ended up back to him.
"It's my fault, it's all my fault. Let's not argue now, the most important thing is to find Yu Lu."
As the two were about to leave, Fu Xiaoyu suddenly entered the clinic.
The moment the two saw Fu Xiaoyu, they felt reassured.
"Was it Old Ghost who sent you here to protect Yulu?"
The two nodded emphatically.
However, they lost sight of Yu Lu, and neither of them was ashamed to look at Fu Xiaoyu.
“I already know everything. Now let’s go find Yulu. You two have special skills, so come with me first.”
Just as the three were about to leave, Cao Qiaoniu suddenly appeared; she already knew everything.
"Your Highness, you must find Yulu no matter what. It was all because of saving Han An that Yulu was in danger. In fact, it was the Han family who wronged her. Please, Your Highness, you must find Yulu."
"Of course, please don't worry, sister-in-law."
Fu Xiaoyu bowed and left the clinic.
On the way, they ran into Han Yu'an and Wen Yu. The two were also on the street, and it was unclear whether they were looking for someone or just strolling around. Wen Yu was holding a candied hawthorn in her hand, so it seemed like she was shopping.
When Lai Guitou and Xia Lan'er saw these two people, they were filled with anger, thinking about everything Yu Lu had done for this man.
At that moment, Han Yu'an and Wen Yu also happened to see Fu Xiaoyu.
"Your Highness is indeed very powerful. Cui Yulu just disappeared yesterday, and you've already come here today. It seems that this woman holds a very important place in your heart."
A sly glint flashed in Wen Yu's eyes as she secretly glanced at Han Yu'an and then at Fu Xiaoyu.
The expressions on the two men's faces changed slightly.
Han Yu'an looked somewhat uncomfortable, while Fu Xiaoyu looked completely at ease.
"The prince cares about his favors, so why should you interfere? You should focus on protecting the man beside you and prevent him from wandering around aimlessly. No one will be pleased with him."
"Who are you, daring to speak to this princess like that?"
Xia Lan'er ignored her, glanced at her sideways, and continued, "Who I am is none of your business. At least I won't steal someone else's man. But now our Yulu is being taken care of and cared for. Just keep an eye on your man and make sure he doesn't cause trouble."
Han Yu'an's expression changed slightly at the sarcasm, but quickly returned to normal.
Without arguing with Xia Lan'er, Wen Yu was about to say something more when Han Yu'an stopped her.
"Don't say too much. There are some things you don't know, so it's better to say less."
Wen Yu listened to Han Yu'an and stood obediently beside him, like a docile kitten.
Fu Xiaoyu didn't want to pay attention to any of this, but after seeing Han Yu'an's attitude, he understood that Han Yu'an had let go of Cui Yulu.
"Your Highness, may I speak with you in private? I have something I wish to say to you alone."
Fu Xiaoyu nodded in agreement, and the two went to the inner hall of the clinic and found a quiet room to sit down.
The other three continued arguing outside.
On this side of the cave, the little mute kept pleading with Lu Changfeng.
"Master, I beg you to stop using Yulu as a pawn. She is innocent."
Lu Changfeng smiled, his phoenix eyes fixed on the little mute.
"You feel sorry for her, don't you? You like her. I can grant your wish. Do you want her to only have you in her mind? If you're willing, I can do this for you and prevent her from becoming a pawn. Are you willing?"
The little mute boy looked at Lu Changfeng with doubt: "Really? Is it possible?"
Lu Changfeng nodded confidently: "When have I ever lied to you? I will definitely do what I promise you. All you have to do is nod in agreement."
"Is it really possible to avoid harming the rain and dew?"
After confirming several times, the little mute finally nodded in agreement.
He wanted to protect Cui Yulu. If it would save Cui Yulu's life and allow him to protect her, he was willing to do it.
Seeing the little mute boy nod, Lu Changfeng smiled and ordered his men to take Cui Yulu from the cave to a secret room.
Here, Cui Yulu was tied up tightly and completely unable to move.
What are you going to do to me?
"Cui Yulu, just wait and see. Soon you will forget everything in front of you and become a completely new you. From now on, you will be a new Cui Yulu. From today onwards, we will be good friends, no longer enemies."
Cui Yulu felt a chill run down her spine and shook her head desperately, saying, "I don't want to forget the past. Don't touch me, or I'll summon heavenly lightning to strike you down."
Han An looked at her with a sinister smile and grinned maliciously.
"Any special abilities are useless here, so just wait patiently to start your new life."
As she spoke, Han An waved her hand, and a short, ugly man appeared in front of her.
"Such a beautiful young girl is the best vessel. Thank you, Master, for finding such a good vessel for me."
As she was speaking, Cui Yulu suddenly felt dizzy and quickly fainted.
The short man, Wubu, put a small, black, wriggling thing into Cui Yulu's mouth.
The insect disappeared very quickly.
After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Cui Yulu slowly woke up. Seeing the little mute boy in front of her, Cui Yulu smiled with relief.
"It's so good that my brother is still by my side."
As she spoke, she excitedly hugged the little mute boy.
"Brother, why are you crying?"
The little mute gestured and said, "No, I'm just excited. I'm so glad to see you're awake. I'll never leave you again."
Cui Yulu nodded with a light smile.
The two of them walked out of the secret room together.
Cui Yulu no longer needs to be locked up.
The seeds of revenge had already been sown in her mind; all she had to do now was seek revenge on Fu Xiaoyu.
"Your subordinate greets Your Excellency."
Cui Yulu knelt down to pay her respects to Lu Changfeng.
Lu Changfeng was so happy he couldn't stop smiling; this was a great general.
The best weapon to deal with Fu Xiaoyu.
"Han An, you are truly amazing. With a weapon like Cui Yulu, my path to revenge is destined to be smooth sailing, and Fu Xiaoyu is destined to suffer a crushing defeat this time."
"Congratulations, Pavilion Master! Congratulations on gaining such a powerful general."
As Han An finished speaking, everyone else in the room knelt down to congratulate Lu Changfeng.
Only the little mute looked at Cui Yulu with a worried expression. Was what he did this time really the right thing to do?
