Hu Die was stunned; she had never known that she had a younger sister.
No wonder she was so good to her; in fact, she could also sense Hu Binglan's kindness towards her.
This time, however, she really didn't want to obey Lu Changfeng anymore.
She wanted to live for herself for once, just like Xu Zhengfan, who always followed Lu Changfeng's arrangements but was eventually killed.
She didn't want that; she wanted her own life.
“Sister, I am very touched by what you are saying now. I am very grateful for your guidance and care over the years. If you still want me to send Fu Xiaofan there, I am sorry I cannot do it.”
"How could you be so foolish? Even if you didn't send Fu Xiaofan over, do you think you would be safe? You know Lu Changfeng's character. The reason the little mute died was because he refused to save him. If he had been willing to help, would he have died?"
Hu Binglan guessed that Hu Die's knot was in this, so she directly rubbed salt into her sore spot.
"If you really want to save Fu Xiaofan, don't go against Lu Changfeng. His target is Fu Xiaoyu. Cui Yulu and Fu Xiaofan are just pawns in his game. He'll use them to achieve his goal and then let them go. Think about it carefully."
Hu Die listened to her words but still felt something was wrong. She was indeed a pawn, but based on what she had learned in the harem these past few days, Lu Changfeng's ambition was definitely not about revenge.
"No matter what you say today, sister, I will not give Fu Xiaofan to you. If you want him, you can ask Fu Xiaoyu for him."
Seeing that she couldn't reason with her, Hu Binglan had no choice but to carry out Lu Changfeng's second plan.
"Good sister, then don't blame your older sister for letting you down."
As she spoke, she took out a damp handkerchief and covered her mouth and nose. Soon she felt Hu Die's body go limp and fall into her arms.
My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was finally at ease.
When Fu Xiaoyu saw the Emperor approaching, he stopped practicing his swordplay, stood still, and bowed to greet him.
"Sixth Brother, don't bother with the formalities. I'm in a bad mood right now. Hu Die kicked me out. How about we go out for a drink? You can also teach me how to make girls happy, okay?"
"Actually, I don't understand either. I'm still learning. Also, it would be better for Your Majesty not to go out recently. It would be much safer for you to stay in the courtyard."
"What do you mean by that, Sixth Brother? I'm already so unhappy, and you're not going to help me? Are you even my Sixth Brother?"
Fu Xiaofan pretended to be very angry. In the past, when his sixth brother saw him angry, he would come over to coax him.
But this time he didn't.
Today he felt that everyone around him was acting strange. Hu Die was acting strange, and so was Sixth Brother.
"Since none of you want to play with me, how about I go find Yulu instead?"
He was about to walk into the house when Fu Xiaoyu stopped him.
"Yulu isn't here, and she's injured, so you'd better not see her."
Fu Xiaofan asked in bewilderment, "Yu Lu is a healer herself, yet she still gets injured. Sixth Brother, do you really think I'm still a child?"
He continued walking into the house, at which point the guards from the front yard came over to report.
Fu Xiaoyu stopped watching him and nodded with a frown after hearing the report from the guard.
"You all continue to keep watch, especially on the Emperor's side; you must not leave him at any time, understand?"
The guards nodded and intensified the patrols around the area.
"But what should we say when the Emperor asks about the Empress's disappearance?"
"Don't panic. I'll take care of this tonight. You just need to keep an eye on the Emperor, and leave the rest to me."
Fu Xiaoyu roughly guessed Lu Changfeng's purpose; his target was Fu Xiaofan.
It seems that tonight will be the time to bring everything to a close.
Meanwhile, Tuoba Xuan's army had already arrived around Jingyuan Town, waiting for Fu Xiaoyu's order so that he could openly enter Jingyuan Town.
Also accompanying them this time was Xiao Abu, who hadn't seen Cui Yulu for a long time and was missing her terribly. Also accompanying them was Wu Jin, the Grand Master from the foreign land.
This Wujin is quite a formidable character. He not only understands the witchcraft and sorcery of the barbarians, but he has even personally studied under a master, so he is quite knowledgeable about witchcraft and sorcery.
The purpose of bringing Tuoba Xuan here this time was to detoxify Cui Yulu and, incidentally, to have a battle of magic with that old witch.
On the other side, Fu Xiaoyu received a message from Lin Yun and learned that everything had been arranged. He then sent someone to keep an eye on Fu Xiaofan, while he himself would wait until evening to resolve the matter.
"Sixth Brother, Yulu really isn't in the house. I'll go back and find Hu Die then, but I need to find something to cheer her up first."
As he spoke, he pulled Fu Xiaoyu toward his warehouse.
"I've always known that Sixth Brother likes collecting things. There must be many good things in your storeroom. Could you give me one to make Hu Die happy?"
Fu Xiaoyu, unable to resist her younger brother's persistent nagging, had no choice but to nod in agreement.
"Take whatever you like from the warehouse."
"It's not that I like it, it's that Hu Die likes it."
Fu Xiaoyu looked at her younger brother, who had such a lovesick expression, and had no choice but to let him be.
"Sixth Brother, you don't think I'm greedy, do you? I'll make it up to you when we get back to Kyoto, no, I should say I'll give Yulu lots of good things, okay?"
Fu Xiaofan knew that his sixth brother was completely devoted to Cui Yulu, and that if Cui Yulu was mentioned, his sixth brother would definitely agree to anything he asked.
"You said it yourself, it's not what I and you wanted. Remember to give Yulu good things."
"A gentleman's word is his bond; once I've spoken, I will keep my promise."
Fu Xiaoyu didn't say anything more. It would be good if they could all survive, but he might not be able to see this scene.
"You can pick anything you want here, but you can't touch those red coral headdresses. They're for Yulu. Also, if anything happens to me, you must take good care of Yulu for Sixth Brother and give all of this to her, understand?"
While carefully selecting items, Fu Xiaofan didn't understand why his sixth brother would say such a thing, but he still nodded and agreed.
"Don't worry, Sixth Brother. In my heart, Yulu is already my Sixth Sister-in-law. I will definitely take good care of her. However, she needs your care even more. No matter what happens, you must live well. Yulu certainly doesn't want to see you get hurt. Moreover, our Great Yuan Dynasty still needs you. You can't afford any accidents."
Fu Xiaoyu was deeply moved and patted Fu Xiaofan's shoulder lightly: "Go and choose quickly. All the good things here are treasures I've collected from all over the world. Pick one for Hu Die."
"Can I only choose one? How about choosing several?"
Fu Xiaoyu looked at the seven-colored gemstone butterfly brooch and the butterfly hairpin in his hand, with colorful gemstone tassels adorning the surface.
As expected, she still had Hu Die in her heart, even choosing butterfly-themed jewelry.
"You're hopeless."
Fu Xiaoyu shook his head helplessly.
