Cui Yulu sensed something amiss and knew that someone must have discovered Tuoba Xuan was missing and activated the guards.
So she quickly urged him, "Hurry up and leave, or you really won't be able to leave."
Tuoba Xuan had practiced martial arts since childhood, so he knew that he was protected by secret guards, but he also had his own people.
With a flick of his wrist, he sent a small hidden weapon flying out, hissing in the air like the hiss of a snake.
Soon, the foreign guards who had been lying in ambush nearby came out to meet them.
Seeing that he had this skill, Cui Yulu didn't linger any longer: "Then we'll meet again."
After saying that, he turned around and walked back towards the inner courtyard without looking back.
Tuoba Xuan watched her departing figure, a slight smile playing on his lips. He carefully put away the items, endured the pain, climbed over the wall, and disappeared into the courtyard.
Lin Yun and Han Yu'an, who arrived at that moment, saw Cui Yulu still looking for her way. Seeing that she was alright, Han Yu'an's gloomy face finally showed a bit of liveliness.
"My wife, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. Look, I'm standing right in front of you with all my limbs intact. But there are so few people in this courtyard that if you get lost, there's no one to ask for directions."
Han Yu'an frowned again when he saw the bloodstains on her body: "Are you injured?"
"No, this is not my blood."
Han Yu'an breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was alright.
Lin Yun had no time to deal with Tuoba Xuan's affairs; the most important thing right now was to save Cixing Gongzi as soon as possible.
“Miss Rain and Dew, please come with me.”
Lin Yun extended her hand and invited her to the Songhe Hall in the main courtyard to treat Fu Xiaoyu.
"Miss Yunying, please don't say anything more. The young master's life is the most important."
Fu Yunying stomped her foot in anger, then followed them into Songhe Hall.
She wanted to see how this girl would treat it; even her master couldn't cure the poison, so how could she possibly solve it?
"Let me tell you, little girl, if anything happens to my brother, I'll never forgive you."
"Hmph, if you hadn't stopped your brother, he could be dancing by now."
Fu Yunying glanced at Cui Yulu and pouted, "Tch, look how capable you are. You think you can be more capable than my master?"
"How about you call me Master when your brother wakes up in a bit?"
Fu Yunying's temper is easily provoked, and hearing her so arrogant, she wanted to teach her a lesson.
"Hmph, no problem, but if my brother doesn't wake up, you'll have to kneel down and kowtow to me, and shout 'Grandma, I was wrong,' how about that?"
Cui Yulu chuckled: "It's not impossible. I'll add another condition: if you lose, you have to kneel down and kowtow to me, shouting 'Master, I was wrong,' how about that?"
Fu Yunying nodded proudly, which was considered her agreement to the betting agreement.
"My ladies, let's not discuss this. Getting the young master treated is the most important thing."
Lin Yun was anxious. These two always argued whenever they met. They could have been cured long ago if they had spent that time arguing.
“Your young master has already been delayed for so long, he doesn’t care about a little more time.”
As soon as Cui Yulu entered the room, she saw Fu Xiaoyu with a dark expression.
"Tsk tsk, why did you have to take so long to come find me? Couldn't you have come a day earlier instead of waiting until the poison took effect?"
"Yes, yes, I'll definitely be earlier next time."
Fu Yunying followed her in and stood aside, looking at her disdainfully. Han Yu'an was also watching from behind. The little girl looked so cute as she earnestly tried to save people.
"You'd better be careful, don't make my brother worse."
"How bad can your brother be?"
As Cui Yulu spoke, she inserted silver needles into his acupoints.
Fu Xiaoyu coughed violently and soon vomited a mouthful of black blood.
"What are you doing, you brat? Why is my brother coughing up blood again?"
"Don't worry, the blood will stop as you keep spitting it out."
Cui Yulu then pricked his fingertip and released black blood.
"You're vomiting blood and bleeding him out, can my brother's body handle it?"
"Since you talk so much, why don't you try to cure it yourself?"
After glancing at her, Cui Yulu inserted another needle into his Neiting acupoint. As the needle was inserted, everyone in the room felt Fu Xiaoyu's body move slightly.
This time, Fu Yunying felt a chill run down her spine. Was she going to lose like this?
"Hmph, he's still not awake, why are you looking at me like that?"
"Just wait until you kneel down and call me master."
As they spoke, Cui Yulu poured some more spiritual spring water down Fu Xiaoyu's throat. After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Fu Xiaoyu's complexion returned to normal. He first moved his fingers a few times, and then Cui Yulu began to put away the silver needles.
Just as she put away the last silver needle, Fu Xiaoyu opened her eyes.
"Thank you for saving me."
"No need to thank me, I'm here to collect a consultation fee."
After saying that, Cui Yulu looked at Fu Yunying triumphantly: "Miss, keep your promise."
"This is impossible. You must have used some kind of sorcery. Even my master couldn't wake my brother up this quickly. You're not from a noble family, how could you have done it?"
"Don't look down on people like that. There are plenty of reclusive masters out there. Do you expect me to tell you everything?"
Fu Xiaoyu, who had just woken up, looked at the two of them with a blank expression, and finally her gaze fell on Lin Yun: "What's going on?"
"Young master, you have just woken up and are still quite weak. You should not concern yourself with their affairs."
Lin Yun simply watched the two bicker calmly, with no intention of getting involved.
"What, you don't want to admit it? So many people heard it, are you trying to renege on your debt?"
Fu Yunying glanced at Fu Xiaoyu and stomped her foot helplessly: "Hmph, even if you succeed this time, it might just be because the prescription I gave my brother worked. You just got lucky."
