As darkness fell, Cui Yulu stood up and told Fu Xiaoyu that they should leave.
"Is this all you want me to do, leave?"
But at this moment, Fu Xiaoyu started to act shamelessly.
He stubbornly refused to get up from Cui Yulu's feet.
Looking at her flushed face, he couldn't help but lean forward and kiss her lips.
They only let go of Cui Yulu when she felt she was having some difficulty breathing.
"What is Your Highness doing? I haven't forgiven you yet."
"I've said so much, but you still won't forgive me. This is really difficult."
Fu Xiaoyu looked at her with amusement.
Her angry and shy demeanor has a unique charm.
Do you know how beautiful you look when you're angry and shy?
"Does Your Highness mean to make me angry more often in the future? I don't want that. I want to live a few more years, so it's best not to see Your Highness."
As she spoke, Cui Yulu got up and pushed him away.
“You are still my queen, and no one dares to say anything if I live with you, so I don’t plan to leave today.”
"Your Highness, are you joking? I only let you rest here for a while because I felt sorry for you. I didn't expect you to try to cling to me now. I won't allow that."
Cui Yulu angrily turned away and ignored him.
But Fu Xiaoyu, ever persistent, came up and put his arm around her shoulder.
"I've noticed you get angry much more easily than before. Is it because you're scared of becoming a mother?"
"Who said I was scared? I just don't like the prince. I couldn't be happier if you weren't here."
Fu Xiaoyu would never believe her; this little woman was just prone to saying one thing and meaning another.
But it's actually quite cute like that.
"Since you're scared, then I should stay with you even more, so I'm not leaving today no matter what you say."
"Your Highness, don't forget why you came here today. Isn't it inappropriate for you not to leave?"
Zhao Qing was still eavesdropping outside the door.
Cui Yulu winked at Fu Xiaoyu, signaling that there were still people outside, and that they should put on a convincing act.
Are you afraid of her?
"Is Your Highness referring to Qiao Qiao or that Zhao Qing outside?"
Fu Xiaoyu didn't say anything, he just smiled and hugged her.
"To be honest, I'm more afraid of Qiao Qiao. She's so beautiful, gentle, and eloquent. I doubt there would be any man who wouldn't be attracted to her."
As Cui Yulu spoke, her eyes kept glancing at Fu Xiaoyu, observing the changes in his expression.
Who knew that Fu Xiaoyu would actually pull her into his arms and kiss her lips fiercely again.
Knowing that Cui Yulu was having difficulty breathing, he gently patted her back before he let go of her.
Fu Xiaoyu raised her eyes, her gaze seemingly carrying a hint of punishment.
"Don't have any more wild thoughts. Even if a fairy descended from heaven to be by my side, I wouldn't be moved. You're the only one in my heart."
They were speaking very softly, and Zhao Qing outside couldn't hear them at all. He felt incredibly anxious, as if he had claws growing inside him.
"You little bastard, what have you been eavesdropping on outside the Rain Dew House for? I've been watching you for ages, aren't you tired?"
Third Sister quickly arrived at Cui Yulu's house and grabbed Zhao Qing's arm.
With just a little force, his arm dislocated.
He was in so much pain that he grimaced and spun around on the ground.
"Who exactly are you, you bastard? I haven't even held a grudge against you for kidnapping Yulu before. Don't go too far. Now that the Prince and Yulu are talking inside, do you think you have the right to eavesdrop?"
Du Sanniang had long disliked Zhao Qing, and if it weren't for Cui Yulu's persuasion, she wouldn't have kept this fellow causing trouble here.
"What happened to Third Sister?"
At this moment, Cui Yulu took the opportunity to open the door and inquire about the situation.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to deal with Zhao Qing.
"It's all because this bastard always thought he was a sly old man, and now I've caught him eavesdropping here. So, you said you'd let him stay or not?"
Cui Yulu glanced at Zhao Qing helplessly.
"I brought you to Kyoto because I pitied you and you saved me, but I never expected you to have learned to eavesdrop. Tell me, who sent you?"
Zhao Qing glanced at Cui Yulu with amusement, but said nothing.
I knew in my heart that they were doing this on purpose.
"Since you are unwilling to tell me, I will not keep you here any longer. According to the rules of the Prince's Mansion, you have already sold yourself into slavery. So, hand you over to the Prince for disposal."
After speaking, Cui Yulu turned and went into the house without any hesitation.
He handed Zhao Qing's indenture to Fu Xiaoyu.
Fu Xiaoyu had long disliked him, and after receiving the indenture, she gave a light snort.
"Don't think I don't know what you've done. I just don't want to bother with you. And since you're slaves of my royal palace, don't blame me for being impolite."
He then ordered the guards to take Zhao Qing into custody.
"Yulu, what do you mean? Weren't you going to leave here with me? Why have you changed your mind?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? When did I ever agree to that? It's all just wishful thinking on your part."
Cui Yulu had long wanted to get rid of Zhao Qing. She used to sympathize with him, but after learning that he and Qiao Qiao were together, all her goodwill towards him vanished.
“Fu Xiaoyu, don’t you know? Cui Yulu is already with me. When you’re not around, I’m the one who keeps her company every night. I see everything she does. You can’t be envious of that.”
“Someone who slandered the princess, slap him a hundred times.”
Although Zhao Qing had some martial arts skills, he was still no match for the secret guards.
In addition, both of his hands were pinned down and he couldn't move at all, so he could only watch helplessly as he was beaten.
Fu Xiaoyu looked at him with sharp eyes, just like he had back then.
"You, something's not right with you."
According to Qiao Qiao, the provocative words he said to Fu Xiaoyu should have worked. His eyes wouldn't look like that. He should believe his own words and believe that Cui Yulu betrayed him.
Judging from his current state, there's only one possibility: he wasn't bewitched at all and remains fully conscious.
"You're lying. You weren't bewitched by Qiao Qiao at all, were you?"
“You found out too late, and now that you know the truth, I absolutely cannot let you stay and tip her off.”
He then ordered his guards to pin him down.
"No one is allowed to release him without my order, and more people are to be assigned to guard him."
He must be cunning to have escaped from the exile group with Han An.
“Yulu, I’m sincere with you. Why won’t you believe me? You won’t be happy with Fu Xiaoyu. He can’t give you the life you want. Yulu, you can only be happy with me.”
Third Sister couldn't stand it anymore and slapped him twice.
His mouth was all crooked from being hit.
"You can't say anything now, can you? How many times have you betrayed Yulu and you still dare to say you like her? Your love is too narrow and not suitable for her."
Cui Yulu glanced at Third Sister, thinking that this friend was truly worth making.
