Despite Cao Jinfang's commotion, Han Quan and his group were still taken away.
"Cui Yulu, you ruined my two grandsons, I will never forgive you."
"It wasn't me who harmed them; they harmed themselves. Haven't you heard the saying, 'Those who harm others will ultimately harm themselves'?"
Cao Jinfang was speechless and was eventually carried away by her two sons.
Fu Xiaoyu truly experienced the fierceness of the local people this time, and at the same time, she felt a headache for her brother, the emperor. With so many women in his harem, just one sentence from each of them would be enough to give him a headache.
He also tirelessly added women to his harem, which shows that being an emperor is not something an ordinary person can do.
"Your Highness, please sit down. Let me take your pulse and see how you've been feeling lately."
Fu Xiaoyu naturally wouldn't refuse, and simply sat down in the chair, revealing her slender fingers and a section of her fair wrist.
"Tsk tsk, you lead troops into battle all day, yet your wrists are still so fair. It's truly an eye-opener."
"I lead troops into battle with my brain, not with my cunning."
Fu Xiaoyu looked at Cui Yulu with a smile, his eyes and brows revealing an undisguised joy.
"Who is more powerful, you or Tuoba Xuan? He doesn't seem like a bad person. You've kept him tied up like that, and he didn't kill you the moment he saw you last night. I don't think he's a bad person."
"I have no real grudge against him, it's just that we each serve our own masters. He represents the foreign people, and I represent the Yuan Dynasty, so it's impossible for us not to fight when we meet next time."
Cui Yulu felt that his theory was wrong. Even two countries can live in peace, so why must they fight?
She didn't understand, she really didn't understand.
She longed for peace and a happy, quiet life, so she planned to open a clinic next year to treat the people.
"Actually, war is not always the best option between two countries. You can try to get along peacefully."
Fu Xiaoyu looked at the soft, bunny-like girl and chuckled, "Do you have any good ideas on how to make the two countries live in peace? That way, we can save on unnecessary expenses and the people can live and work in peace, right?"
"Come on, I'm just a simple woman. All I want is a peaceful and stable life. I don't have any grand ambitions. But if you need my help to treat your illness, I'd be happy to do so, as long as you pay me the money."
Cui Yulu's eyes turned into crescent moons when she smiled, making her look very cute.
"Actually, among the things Tuoba Xuan gave me last night, there was a Ghost Yellow Flower, which is the most crucial herb for detoxifying you. He actually gave it to me, so I guess he doesn't really want to kill you."
"You know everything now? Looks like I underestimated you. How about you come and be my strategist? I'll give you a monthly stipend, how about that?"
Cui Yulu chuckled and withdrew her hand, saying with a smile, "I think it's better not to. I don't even know a single word. I'm afraid I might delay your important decision, and then I'd become a sinner for all time."
She had a pretty good understanding of Fu Xiaoyu's physical condition, and with the Ghost Yellow Flower, she could make an antidote for Fu Xiaoyu.
This would save her time traveling to foreign lands, and she could better plan the affairs of the clinic.
"Since you're unwilling, then next spring you can open a clinic in town. I'll help you find a place, so please don't refuse."
Yunshui City is Fu Xiaoyu's fiefdom, and it is also a strategically important border location. He is stationed here to prevent any unrest from foreign tribes.
There are twenty-five towns below Yunshui City, and Jingyuan Town is one of them, as well as the town closest to the foreign lands.
Therefore, Fu Xiaoyu planted many spies here, which is why he was able to know so much about Cui Yulu's family affairs.
"Then I'll have to ask for your help. How about I waive the consultation fee this time?"
"Hmph, you little money-grubber, all you care about is consultation fees. I'm your savior, shouldn't you thank me?"
Cui Yulu rested her chin on her hand and thought about it carefully. She really should thank him: "How about I give you a 20% discount if you come to my clinic for treatment in the future?"
He deals with knives and guns every day, and getting injured is a common occurrence for him, so giving him a 20% discount is absolutely appropriate.
"Can't you wish me well for once? I go to the doctor's office every day, how weak am I?"
The two looked at each other and laughed. At this moment, Han Yu'an also entered the room, placed the tea in front of Fu Xiaoyu, but kept his eyes on Cui Yulu.
"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
Cui Yulu looked at Han Yu'an with her bright, doe-like eyes.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if Prince Fu is planning to have lunch here?"
Han Yu'an didn't want Fu Xiaoyu to stay, but Fu Xiaoyu acted as if she didn't see his gaze.
"Since I have nothing to do today, little girl, didn't you want to thank me for saving your life? How about you make me lunch?"
Cui Yulu nodded and said, "No problem, I'll definitely make you satisfied."
Liu Xiuying saw all of this, and her worries grew stronger.
At this moment, Han Chunying truly realized that Liu Meie cared about her, and spent the whole morning hugging Liu Meie and crying.
"Silly child, you'd better be more careful in the future. What would I do if something happened to you?"
"I'm sorry, Mom, it's all my fault. I'll never trust men again. I'll stay by your side from now on, okay?"
"Well, you don't have to get married just because you're supposed to. Just be more careful next time. For example, Lord Lin is a good man. He seems like a kind man who knows how to cherish his wife."
Han Chunying recalled how Lin Yun had scolded her before. How could he possibly care about his wife? Her mother's judgment was still unreliable.
Outside, Lin Yun, Niu Niu, and Abu were having a snowball fight, and the two little ones were having a great time with Lin Yun.
Looking at Lin Yun, who was laughing like a child, Han Chunying felt a sudden flutter in her heart. Perhaps her mother was right this time.
Lin Yun is truly a good man.
Cui Yulu was busy in the kitchen, and soon she had prepared Dongpo pork, Kung Pao chicken, and sweet and sour carp.
Cao Qiaoniu was stunned. She never expected that her younger sister-in-law was such a multi-talented person, and also a great cook.
"Yulu, your dish looks and smells amazing! It makes my mouth water."
"Sister-in-law, you always tease me. My skills are nowhere near as good as yours."
After joking around for a while, Cui Yulu made a cold lotus root salad and a sweet and sour cabbage dish, and the meal was ready.
"Your Highness, it's time to eat. Please try it and see if it suits your taste."
"How dare you speak to the prince so disrespectfully! You deserve a beating."
Whether it was her overthinking or not, Liu Xiuying felt that the atmosphere when this girl was with Fu Xiaoyu was much more relaxed than when she was with Han Yu'an.
Hopefully, she's just overthinking it.
"It's alright, old man, I'm used to it."
When Fu Xiaoyu said this, he looked at Cui Yulu with a face full of doting affection, as if he were her husband.
