The men in black quickly disappeared, and even the carriage was gone.
The pitch-black door suddenly opened a crack, and a slender woman emerged from it.
He merely glanced at Cui Yulu indifferently, then said coldly, "You are Princess Consort Yu. Come in with me."
After saying that, he walked inside without looking back.
She didn't care at all whether Cui Yulu was following behind her.
Cui Yulu tried to escape, but as soon as she turned around, she heard a whoosh and a cold arrow landed at her feet.
"Don't even think about escaping from here; you can't escape at all."
The aloof, slender woman turned around and gave her a cold look, then spoke in a chilling voice to remind her.
He turned around and walked to her side, putting one hand on her shoulder and leading her into the courtyard.
Perhaps knowing that she was pregnant, An Rou'er did not make things difficult for her, and even took some care of Cui Yulu in terms of gait.
Cui Yulu could sense this.
After passing the covered walkway and the artificial hill, An Rou'er finally released her when they reached a courtyard filled with plum blossoms.
"The lord is waiting for you inside. Go in by yourself."
An Rou'er left without saying a word.
Cui Yulu simply walked into the courtyard, pushed open the vermilion gate, and was greeted by the delicate fragrance of plum blossoms. There was still some snow in the courtyard, which complemented the white plum blossoms, each displaying its own unique charm.
The atmosphere here suggests that the owner of this courtyard is a person of refined taste.
Thinking about this, Cui Yulu was no longer afraid of this person. Instead, she was curious about him. Why did this person capture her? Did he have a grudge against Fu Xiaoyu again?
Zhao Qing saw Cui Yulu, who was heavily pregnant, inside, and her face showed a pained expression.
This was not the scene he wanted to see. He had imagined countless times how they would meet, but he never expected it to be like this.
When Cui Yulu entered the room, a warm current enveloped her, and the air was filled with the fragrance of plum blossoms.
It was very comfortable. Cui Yulu noticed that the room was simply furnished, so the owner of the house didn't seem to be a complicated person.
"You've arrived?"
The man's voice had a lazy quality, but it wasn't unpleasant to listen to.
"Why did you capture me? Do I even know you?"
"Oh, those people are really wicked. I only asked them to invite the princess over for a reunion. How could they have gone to arrest her? I must punish them properly."
Cui Yulu was completely baffled as to why this person had mobilized so many men in black to capture her, and now claimed to be inviting her over for a reunion. It was truly laughable.
"This is truly the first time I've seen such a way of inviting others. Young Master is quite unique."
When Zhao Qing heard her say that about him, a smile actually appeared on his lips.
When he turned around and saw Cui Yulu's slightly thin and pale face, he felt a pang of heartache.
Are you happy being a princess?
Cui Yulu was even more confused, as such a question shouldn't have come from his mouth.
"Young master, please speak freely. My friend is waiting for me."
"Answer my question first. You've lost a lot of weight. It seems you're not happy being a princess."
Cui Yulu felt that the man in front of her was a bit crazy, so she didn't really want to pay attention to him.
"If you have nothing else to say, I'll be leaving now."
He turned and left the room.
Don't you want to know news about Fu Xiaoyu?
Sure enough, this sentence made Cui Yulu stop in her tracks.
Zhao Qing's heart sank to the bottom as well.
As expected, she cared about Fu Xiaoyu, but this was destined to cause her even greater harm.
"If you know anything about him, please tell me where he is and how he is doing."
Cui Yulu's voice trembled slightly, and as she looked at Zhao Qing, tears welled up in her eyes.
"You care about him so much, don't you think of me at all?"
He admitted that he was jealous, extremely jealous. In order to become stronger, he repeatedly crossed his own bottom line, just so that his position could be worthy of her.
But in the end, he lost to Fu Xiaoyu, the God of War Prince.
"I don't know what you're talking about. Do we know each other before?"
Cui Yulu searched her mind for information about this person, but she couldn't recall a single thing about him.
No, she just looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Have you forgotten all of this? You once saved my life. You didn't look down on me and healed my wounds. I fell in love with you then. But you weren't with Fu Xiaoyu back then. If I had intervened then, would I be the one with you now?"
Cui Yulu was even more puzzled, as she didn't recall ever meeting this person.
“Young master is joking. I am a doctor and have saved many lives. If it were true that I would have to marry many people in my life, then I would probably have to marry many people.”
"No, you're different to me. I like you, I like you from the bottom of my heart, but you've forgotten me. That's right, in your life, I'm just an insignificant little character. It's normal that you don't remember me. But this time, I'm determined to make you remember me."
Cui Yulu looked at the man in front of her in horror.
"I've memorized your face. May I leave now? I need to go to Kyoto and can't stay too long."
"Don't go to Kyoto, it's a den of wolves and tigers. You'll only get hurt if you go. Why don't you stay here with me?"
Cui Yulu looked at his unfamiliar face and shook her head firmly.
"We've only met by chance, why should I stay here?"
She still didn't understand why Zhao Qing insisted on keeping her here.
"Besides, I am now the Jade Princess Consort. It's not appropriate for us to be together, is it?"
Zhao Qing's face clearly showed sadness.
“I don’t care about any of that. As long as you’re willing, we can stay here forever. I will tell the world that Princess Yu is dead, and that you and I will take good care of you and your child. I will treat them as my own.”
Cui Yulu was so angry she laughed. How could there be such a ridiculous man in this world?
"If you tell the world I'm dead, will the world believe you? And why do you, with your qualifications, insist on being the father of my child? Besides, my child has his own father; why should he look for you?"
This was utterly ridiculous, and Cui Yulu began to wonder if this person had something wrong with their head.
"Yulu, you don't need to worry about any of this. As long as you nod and agree, leave everything else to me. I guarantee that everyone in the world will believe it, and you will definitely live a life like a god with me, instead of living in fear like you do now."
"But I love Fu Xiaoyu, you know that. I would do anything for him. How could I let his child take someone else's surname?"
Cui Yulu clearly and firmly rejected him, but the man completely ignored her and treated her even better, trying to win her over.
