Nothing happened that night. When Fu Xiaoyu woke up early the next morning, Qiao Qiao was serving him in the room.
"What are you doing here? Where's Rain and Dew?"
"Does Your Highness not know yet? Sister Yulu was not in the palace last night, but stayed at the house outside. I was the one who took care of Your Highness last night."
Fu Xiaoyu suddenly came to her senses.
He pushed her away and glanced at his own clothes.
"What are you afraid of? I've seen everything about you. What are you pretending for?"
"Don't talk nonsense. You've already gotten what you wanted. Don't try to get close to me now."
Qiao Qiao remained silent, only looking at him with amusement.
"If I change my mind now, I not only want the title of princess, but I also want you as a person?"
Fu Xiaoyu glared at her angrily: "You're dreaming. I can give you the title of princess, but don't even think about anything else."
Just then, Tuoba Xuan, dressed in military attire, came looking for Fu Xiaoyu.
"Your Highness is truly blessed, still surrounded by beautiful women taking care of you. Unlike my sister, who spent the whole night feeling down, unable to sleep or eat properly, and has lost a lot of weight. You, on the other hand, are surrounded by beautiful women. I think my sister has no need to stay with you anymore."
As he spoke, he took out a divorce agreement from his pocket and handed it to Fu Xiaoyu.
"Sign it, give my sister her freedom."
"If I don't sign, where have you hidden Yulu? I want to see her first."
"There's no need for that. There's no need for you to meet again in this situation. Just tell me what's on your mind."
Tuoba Xuan threw the divorce papers in front of him and said no more.
However, Fu Xiaoyu refused to write anything, instead staring blankly at the divorce letter.
"Tell me how to hold onto the rain and dew."
"Do I need to tell you this? You know better than anyone what to do."
Tuoba Xuan glanced at Qiao Qiao, who was still taking care of Fu Xiaoyu.
Feeling his gaze on her, she smiled and reminded Fu Xiaoyu, "It must be because of me that my sister felt wronged, but this is the Dowager Consort's wish, and there's nothing I can do about it. Please don't blame me, Your Highness."
Upon hearing this, Tuoba Xuan realized that Cui Yulu was no match for this woman, and leaving as soon as possible was the wise choice.
"Shut up. I can give you the title of princess, but I can give up my position as prince."
After saying that, he put away the divorce papers and turned to Tuoba Xuan, saying, "Tell Yulu that I'm giving up this princeship and I want to be with her."
Tuoba Xuan was genuinely surprised by his response.
"What does Your Highness mean? Without you, how can I be a princess?"
"What you want is the position of princess, and I can grant that. But I can also give up the title of prince."
He then put on his court robes and prepared to enter the palace to meet the emperor.
Qiao Qiao clenched her fists angrily. "Since you want to die, then I'll grant your wish."
Five miles outside the city, at the pavilion, Qiao Qiao, wearing a straw hat, confronted Zhao Qing.
"Do as I say. This time, Cui Yulu must die."
"I won't agree. I can agree to let you take her away, but I won't kill her."
Qiao Qiao knew that Zhao Qing would be reluctant to part with Cui Yulu, so she took out a pill for him.
"Secretly give her this. Don't worry, this medicine won't kill her; it will only make her appear dead for three days. Three days is enough to fool Fu Xiaoyu."
Zhao Qing took the pills, looking at her with suspicion on his face.
"Are you telling the truth? You won't let Yulu die, will you? Also, they have the Heart-Connecting Gu on them. If one of them dies, the other will definitely feel it. Can you fool them then?"
"Hmph, don't underestimate me. If I can't handle this little bit of Gu magic, then I'm not a cave maiden."
Through her time with Fu Xiaoyu, she realized that he was a really good man, someone she could entrust her life to.
Since Gongsun Yu is already dead, and she needs a man, Fu Xiaoyu is naturally the best choice.
Once she gets rid of Cui Yulu, she'll have a way to make Fu Xiaoyu fall in love with her.
And it's something they willingly and wholeheartedly like about themselves.
"Are you sure this medicine won't harm Yulu?"
"As long as she takes this medicine within three days, there will be no problem. Remember, don't forget the time."
After discussing it, the two disappeared into the dense forest.
"Sixth Brother, it's absolutely impossible for you not to become a prince. You know that all the small countries around us are eyeing our Great Yuan Dynasty with covetous eyes. Without you guarding it, our Great Yuan Dynasty would probably be bullied beyond recognition."
Fu Xiaoyu remained silent; this was a fact, a fact that was difficult to resolve in a short time.
"Does Your Highness really intend to abandon the greater good of the nation for the sake of personal feelings?"
Han Yu'an reminded Fu Xiaoyu that he wanted Cui Yulu to be happy, but the Great Yuan Dynasty also needed a general to protect her.
And this person can only be Fu Xiaoyu.
"Sixth Brother, please don't bring up this idea anymore. I know it's unfair to Yulu, but if there were no country, could you bear to watch so many people suffer?"
One problem after another fell on Fu Xiaoyu, and he was destined to let Cui Yulu down.
"Your subject understands."
Fu Xiaoyu responded dejectedly.
In the residence of Tuoba Xuan on the outskirts of Beijing.
"Brother, has everything been taken care of?"
Cui Yulu was chatting with San Niang when she saw Tuoba Xuan return, so she quickly went up to ask him.
"No, Fu Xiaoyu won't agree. He promised that even if he loses his position as a prince, he will stay with you."
