Fu Xiaofan saw his brother frowning and assumed he was unwilling to give it to him.
So she said to him with a grin, "Sixth Brother, you have so many good things here, why won't you give me either of the two jade butterflies?"
"Hehe, when have I ever been stingy with the things you like? You can pick whatever you want. I'm just a little worried about the people of the world because you keep thinking about Hu Die."
"Sixth Brother, don't worry. Since I promised you I would be a good emperor, I will naturally not disregard the people. I will definitely be a good emperor. But that doesn't affect my liking for Hu Die, does it?"
After the two brothers talked for a while, Fu Xiaoyu received a signal from Lin Yun that everything was ready.
How about you stay with me tonight?
"Why should I go and comfort Hu Die? How about I spend time with you tomorrow?"
"It's been a long time since we brothers slept together, how about tonight?"
Fu Xiaofan didn't understand why he insisted on sleeping with him today.
"Sixth Brother, is there something you need from me? Just tell me, and I'll agree to anything reasonable."
"I do have one request of you, and that is to stay in my courtyard tonight. Will you agree?"
Fu Xiaofan realized he couldn't persuade him otherwise, since he had just taken his things again, so he had to listen to him properly this time.
"Alright then, since you want me to stay, I'll reluctantly keep you company for a while."
Seeing Fu Xiaoyu's expression, the maids and servants quickly prepared the meal. The two brothers drank and chatted happily, unaware that Ji Xiaotang had put sleeping pills in the wine.
Fu Xiaofan was so happy that he didn't notice the trickery inside the mandarin duck wine pot.
After only a few drinks, he felt dizzy and disoriented, and lost his sense of direction.
"Sixth Brother, the alcohol here is really strong. I actually feel like I'm drunk."
"You're just drunk; your alcohol tolerance is as bad as ever."
Fu Xiaoyu put down her wine glass and looked at him with a smile.
He collapsed quickly. Fu Xiaoyu ordered the guards to keep an eye on Fu Xiaofan, and in the end, still worried, he left Du Sanniang and her two children with him.
"Your Highness, the guards here are so tight. The three of us should go and help you."
"This place may seem safe, but it's actually the most unsafe. They'll definitely come looking for the Emperor tonight. You must guard this place well and prevent them from getting in."
Seeing his serious expression, Du Sanniang didn't say anything more. Her only reason for wanting to go out was that she was worried about Tuoba Xuan.
This man is completely disobedient; he forgets himself entirely when fighting, and it would be bad if he got hurt.
"I will have someone keep an eye on Tuoba Xuan, so you can stay here without worry."
Seeing that he had seen through her thoughts, Du Sanniang lowered her head shyly: "Since Your Highness has said so, then I can't say anything more. Please also take care of your health, Your Highness, and don't let Yulu worry."
After everything was ready, Xu Wanqing was the last to know the news. She came to his side dressed in a red military uniform.
"Are you angry with me? Because I transferred the secret guards, which caused Yulu to be captured. You must be very angry, right?"
"You're overthinking it. I didn't think that way."
Fu Xiaoyu calmly donned his armor; tonight was bound to be a fierce battle, and he didn't want to be distracted.
"Your words may fool me, but your expression won't. I can tell you're angry with me."
Fu Xiaoyu got annoyed by what he was being said, and his movements as he put on the armor became rough.
"Since you know, why are you still pitifully saying these things here? What's done is done, please stop reminding me. I know everything, I'm not stupid."
Xu Wanqing blushed at what was said.
"I... I didn't mean that. The whole thing started because of me, so please let me go with you so I can make amends, okay?"
"No need. You just need to stay here. The Emperor is still here, and I trust you to stay and protect him."
Xu Wanqing shook her head, her eyes seemingly misty with tears. She bit her lip lightly and said softly, "This matter started because of me, so naturally it should end with me, shouldn't it?"
"Don't say any more. Just stay here and don't go anywhere. Protect the emperor, and I will forgive you."
Fu Xiaoyu finally looked up at her, which stirred a ripple in her heart, which had sunk to the bottom.
"Your Highness, I want to follow you, I want to protect you."
Fu Xiaoyu quickly looked away, no longer looking at her.
"Whatever you want."
After speaking, the group prepared to go out, but just as they reached the door, they unexpectedly encountered Tuoba Xuan, who was accompanied by a middle-aged man.
The man was quite handsome, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose bridge, and deep-set eyes; he looked like a hermit.
"Is Your Highness ready?"
"Of course, we can set off now."
When Tuoba Xuan saw the soldiers and guards behind him, he knew that this was bound to be a fierce battle.
"Your Highness, would you please hear my plan first?"
Fu Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, but seeing his eager look, she nodded and agreed.
Since everything is already prepared, there's no rush.
"What are your plans? Now you can tell me, right?"
The three entered the house. Tuoba Xuan gestured for Fu Xiaoyu to leave, then mysteriously took Wu Jin's hand and said something to him.
"Look who I brought here. This is a famous shaman from our foreign land. We consult him about everything. But that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that he knows how to cure poison. So as long as we rescue Yulu, everything will be easy to solve, right?"
Tuoba Xuan became more and more excited as he spoke, and at the end, he even clapped his hands in joy.
He stopped after being glared at by Fu Xiaoyu.
"What do you think of my plan, Your Highness?"
Fu Xiaoyu didn't speak, but just looked at Wu Jin with a calm expression.
"Does Your Highness not trust our great shaman? Why are you looking at him like that?"
"Gu poison is no ordinary poison; it's very troublesome to deal with. Are you sure he can do it?"
It wasn't that he didn't trust Wu Jin, but he couldn't bear the feeling of his newly ignited hope being extinguished once again.
"Oh dear, don't you trust my character? When have I ever lied to you? This Wu Jin is absolutely top-notch. Besides, I have other plans to tell you."
So Tuoba Xuan explained his thoughts to Fu Xiaoyu from beginning to end.
Upon hearing this, Fu Xiaoyu frowned immediately.
Are you sure this method will work?
"If they can use Gu to control people's behavior, then it's not that we can't control them too. Moreover, if you want to control others, Wu Jin is much more powerful than that old witch. He can control others without even making contact. Isn't that amazing?"
Fu Xiaoyu looked into Wu Jin's eyes; they were pale purple pupils that gave him an unfathomable look.
