"Impossible, you're talking nonsense. They say this bug will only make her forget her past unhappiness and become happy from now on. She won't die."
The little mute boy gestured excitedly, his heart filled with unease.
"From your panicked expression, I can tell that you already know how powerful this Gu worm is. All your explanations now are just attempts to cover up your panic."
The little mute boy fell completely silent. It was all his fault. He shouldn't have been so selfish, thinking that if Cui Yulu forgot everything from the past, she could truly stay by his side.
He didn't want Cui Yulu to become a pawn, but he himself pushed her down that path.
It's all my fault.
Fu Xiaoyu noticed the subtle change in his expression and knew that this matter must be related to him, so she kept Cui Yulu away from him.
He pressed her pressure point to induce sleep, and she wouldn't wake up for a while.
Everything can only be decided after we get home.
This time, she was injured again because of him, and Fu Xiaoyu felt guilty.
For the next few days, Ji Xiaotang stayed at Fu Xiaoyu's residence to treat Cui Yulu.
However, the treatment process was very painful, and Cui Yulu has been in a coma most of the time these days.
The little mute felt sad and secretly resolved to go to Lu Changfeng to explain the situation and ask him to remove the Gu worm from Cui Yulu.
"Are you regretting it now? There are things that will make you regret it even more."
Fu Xiaoyu was angry, so he took out a frosted, almost rotten envelope and threw it at the little mute.
"You are a member of the Xu family, so you should be educated and literate, right? Look for yourself."
Fu Xiaoyu then had Lin Yun move some of the scrolls from before to the little mute boy's side.
He looked up at Fu Xiaoyu with a puzzled expression.
"I don't understand you?"
"No matter how much I say, you won't believe me, but these are all events recorded by historians from back then, and this letter was written by your father. Take a look for yourself, and you'll understand how foolish you've been."
After Fu Xiaoyu finished speaking, he turned around and went back into the house to continue checking on Cui Yulu's condition.
Although Ji Xiaotang was a renowned physician, he had never come into contact with this Gu worm before, and for a moment he was completely at a loss.
"I've always heard that this Gu worm is an evil creature from the barbarian lands. I'm at a loss for what to do with it. Why don't we go find Princess Wenyu and see if she knows anyone who can cure this Gu poison?"
Fu Xiaoyu felt a pang of heartache as he looked at Cui Yulu, who was growing thinner and thinner. Hearing Ji Xiaotang's suggestion, he quickly sent someone to invite Wen Yu and Han Yu'an over.
"Your Highness need not be too anxious. Since they have placed this Gu worm on Master, they will certainly not put her in danger. It seems that the Gu worm is far from its mother body and may have been mentally stimulated, causing Master to be sometimes unconscious and sometimes awake."
Fu Xiaoyu nodded. Lu Changfeng's words had already reminded her that if she forcibly brought Cui Yulu back, she would soon become a corpse.
However, no matter what, he would not send Cui Yulu back.
Soon Wen Yu and Han Yu'an arrived at the Prince's Mansion together.
As soon as Wen Yugang entered the Prince's Mansion, he turned to look at Han Yu'an.
Her large, watery eyes seemed to speak volumes as she looked at him: "Have you not forgotten Cui Yulu yet? Are you still thinking of taking her as a concubine?"
"Yu Lu said she wouldn't be a concubine, and I don't want to wrong her, so..."
Wen Yu's voice suddenly rose: "So you plan to defy the imperial decree, abandon me, and make me return to the barbarians in disgrace?"
Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked pitifully at Han Yu'an.
That one glance was enough to completely captivate Han Yu'an.
He couldn't be so selfish; he had already hurt Cui Yulu, and he couldn't hurt the woman in front of him as well.
“It’s not that you misunderstood me. What I meant was that I can’t hold her back any longer. I’ve chosen to let go and let them be together. I’ve wasted too much of her time and can’t keep the promise I made to her. It’s better to let go now and let her be with Fu Xiaoyu. It would be better for her to be a carefree princess.”
Upon hearing his words, Wen Yu's tightly furrowed brows completely relaxed, and a big smile appeared on her pretty face.
She was right about the man in front of her; he truly was a responsible and good man.
Although I am not a king, it would be good to be a strategist by the king's side.
Han Yu'an could give her everything she wanted, and she felt that this was happiness.
When the two entered the house, they saw Fu Xiaoyu holding Cui Yulu's hand, his eyes red and swollen from lack of sleep.
Han Yu'an glanced at it somewhat uncomfortably before lowering his head.
"May I ask why Your Highness has summoned us here?"
He didn't directly ask about Cui Yulu's condition, but seeing her lying weakly in bed, he could guess that Fu Xiaoyu must have called them over because of Cui Yulu's situation.
"Please have a seat. I have something to ask the princess."
Wen Yu was confused, but when she saw Cui Yulu lying there and Fu Xiaoyu asking her questions, she realized that Fu Xiaoyu wanted to interrogate her.
“Your Highness, one must provide evidence in all matters. I have said that I did not arrest Miss Cui, much less harm her. Your Highness's summons of us is utterly unreasonable.”
Fu Xiaoyu glanced at her but didn't rush to explain. Instead, he invited them to another room.
"Serve tea."
The servants quickly brought up the brewed tea.
"Your Highness, stop beating around the bush. You certainly didn't call us here just for tea. Besides, Cui Yulu is still in bed. Just tell me what it's about. I won't admit to something I didn't do."
Wen Yu spoke with absolute certainty, and Han Yu'an nodded in agreement.
"Although Wen Yu has a bit of a temper, she wouldn't do anything to harm anyone. Besides, I've already made it clear to Wen Yu that I won't be with Yu Lu, so she has no reason to hurt Yu Lu."
"Hmph, what are you two so eager to explain? Of course I know you wouldn't hurt Yulu. She's been poisoned, and I need an expert to help remove the poison."
The two were quite puzzled upon hearing this.
"Then go find an expert. How would the two of us know anything about these things? Your Highness has chosen the wrong person."
Wen Yu picked up the teacup and used the lid to clean the tea dust off the surface.
Her watery eyes seemed to speak volumes as she looked at the two of them.
“Of course I know that, but very few people in the Central Plains know this witchcraft. We need the princess’s help here.”
"But I don't understand these things either, how can I help?"
Wen Yu had heard of witchcraft, but had never encountered anything like it before and didn't know how to help.
Moreover, witchcraft is one of the most mysterious branches of the barbarians. They have mysterious beliefs and are not very subservient to the barbarian king, so I dare not easily agree to this matter.
