Did the Seventh Prince attend court today?

Upon learning that Youlu had woken up, Su Yan'an and Meng Tianhong immediately went to visit him, but were stopped at the door by Yinwu.

Cang Shuyue, citing the need for the deer to rest, instructed Yinwu not to allow anyone to enter and disturb them, not even the eldest prince.

Su Yan'an was helpless. He was just concerned about Xiao Lu and had no other intentions. There was no need to prevent him from even meeting her.

Although Cang Shuyue appeared no different from usual these past few days, he never left his room and stayed by Youlu's side, personally taking care of everything from washing and changing clothes to feeding her medicine and meals. Anyone with eyes could see that the relationship between the two was extraordinary.

On the first day, Su Yan'an could still fool himself into thinking that Cang Shuyue was only taking such good care of You Lu, a junior, because of the Crown Prince. But on the second day, he could no longer deceive himself.

He saw Cang Shuyue administering medicine orally through the crack in the door. Who would take care of a junior in this way?!

To outsiders, this was undoubtedly shocking, and Su Yan'an initially couldn't accept it either. However, his focus differed from others. His first thought was how severe the blow would be if the Crown Prince found out.

However, he quickly adjusted his mindset, since he had no say in the matter.

As someone who had been through it all, Meng Tianhong naturally saw through it earlier than Su Yan'an, but he was only slightly surprised before accepting it naturally.

The two of them were currently blocked outside the door and could only stare at each other.

Yinwu leaned against the door with his sword in his arms, glancing sideways at the two who were stubbornly refusing to leave, to prevent them from making any trouble and breaking through the defenses.

Inside the gate, Cang Shuyue was feeding Youlu porridge, which was millet porridge, good for replenishing qi and blood and easy to digest.

Yu Lu craned his neck to look outside, but only saw Yin Wu's shadow cast on the door. He grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Why not let them in? It's just a few words, it's not a big deal."

He had heard the noise outside the door a long time ago.

"I don't want to see them," Cang Shuyue replied crisply and directly.

You Lu found it funny: "They came to see me, not you."

After finishing half a bowl of porridge, he shook his head. "I don't want to drink anymore."

The bland porridge was really unappetizing; he just wanted something with a stronger flavor.

Cang Shuyue didn't press him. He finished the remaining half bowl of porridge, put down the bowl, pulled him into his arms, and sat against the headboard. He said softly, "I'll have the kitchen make you fish porridge tonight. You just woke up, so it's not good for you to eat anything greasy or heavy."

A deer lay on his muscular chest, playing with a strand of his hair, and sighed, "You won't let me eat, you won't let me play. I just slept for a few days, and you act like I have some serious illness."

"Don't talk nonsense." Cang Shuyue touched his face, a hint of caution flashing in his eyes.

A few more coughs came from outside the door; Meng Tianhong and Su Yan'an were still there.

Youlu tugged at the hair in her hand, looked up and said, "Let him in. Although I'm not sick, he really is."

Cang Shuyue tightened her grip on his arm, then loosened it after a while, and called out, "Let them in."

Upon receiving the order, Yinwu immediately opened the door.

Meng Tianhong and Su Yan'an exchanged a glance. Could it be that the Duke of Zhenguo suddenly let them in because he wanted to lure them in and kill them?

It wasn't that they were overthinking it; Cang Shuyue had indeed almost taken their lives.

With trepidation, the two cautiously entered the room. Inside, they saw two people on the bed embracing, whispering sweet nothings, their fingers intertwined, completely open about their presence.

Su Yan'an had mixed feelings.

Knowing something in your heart is one thing, seeing it with your own eyes is another. For an ordinary person, this was still a bit too much of an impact on him.

Without changing his expression, Meng Tianhong moved a stool to the foot of the bed and sat down. After carefully examining him, he smiled with relief and said, "It's good that you're alright."

Youlu noticed the purplish-blue marks on his neck and quickly guessed who had done it. Three days had passed and the marks hadn't faded, showing how vicious the attack had been.

The arms wrapped around her waist tightened even more.

He patted the hand of the person behind him, sat up slightly, and looked at Meng Tianhong, saying, "I know why you are in such a hurry to get rid of the poison, but if I may be frank, even if you do, the person behind you is not someone you can deal with. You should have realized that their target is not you, nor the Qin family, but Dayong."

As he spoke, he tried again to check Meng Tianhong's fate, but it was still blank.

Upon hearing this, Meng Tianhong fell silent.

Su Yan'an walked to the bedside, coughed twice, and said, "Actually, I think the ultimate goal of the person behind this might not be Dayong. With his abilities, it would be very simple for him to destroy Dayong, but he planned and laid out his plans for more than ten years, only taking action after Xiaolu returned to the royal family."

He lowered his eyes, not daring to look around.

You Lu was secretly alarmed.

Su Yan'an's words gave him a new perspective.

It is known that the person behind everything is Fuzhu, and with Fuzhu's abilities, it would be easy for him to destroy Dayong, but he waited until he came to this world before he made his move.

Perhaps it wasn't that Dayong was in trouble, but rather that he brought disaster upon Dayong.

Thinking of this, Youlu felt somewhat heavy-hearted.

Cang Shuyue glanced coldly at Su Yan'an, hugged the person in his arms tighter, and said softly, "The rise and fall of a country cannot be tied to one person. You don't need to feel too much burden."

Su Yan'an realized he had misspoke and quickly forced a smile, saying, "What I meant was that the person behind this thinks Xiao Lu is a great threat to the throne, so they are targeting her."

Meng Tianhong also said, "Refining the Corpse Gu takes a long time. The person behind it is making a move now because the Corpse Gu was only recently refined."

"Corpse Gu?" You Lu was curious about this new term.

Suppressing the itch in his throat, Meng Tianhong nodded. "Corpse Gu is a forbidden technique in the Southern Frontier. It requires the flesh of a recently deceased person to be refined. Gu worms are injected into the body, and then it is soaked in medicine for a long period of time, from a few months to several years. The longer the time, the more powerful the Corpse Gu will be."

After he finished speaking, he took a slight breath.

A deer hissed, "If it's a Gu, then without the support of mystical arts, it's easier to deal with than a corpse demon."

"You have a way?" Meng Tianhong's eyes lit up.

Youlu rubbed his chin. "We'll have to wait and see the specifics to know."

His opponent was Fuzhu, so he dared not make any boastful remarks.

Thinking that Xiaogua's current strength should be enough to deal with the Gu worms in Meng Tianhong's body, he changed the subject, "The Gu poison in your body is easy to deal with. As long as you take good care of your body during this period, I can help you detoxify immediately."

"Yes!" Meng Tianhong nodded solemnly, his eyes shining brightly, and even his dull complexion brightened considerably.

Youlu leaned back against Cang Shuyue leisurely and said with a grin, "That person went to great lengths to set a trap in order to confirm my identity, making me trigger the restriction. I guess he really wants me to go back to Shengjing as soon as possible. Hehe, I'm not going back. I'll make him anxious to death."

Meng Tianhong chuckled. Is this what they call being fearless because of something you have?

Inside the Imperial Preceptor's residence in Shengjing.

Golden runes flickered on the bone jade, emitting a faint white light. Fuzhu gently stroked the crescent-shaped bone jade and smiled, "You sensed his presence too, didn't you? It's alright, we'll meet soon."

The bone jade trembled slightly in his hand, trying to escape, but was held tightly.

"Do you also want to leave your brother? You can't. You are a part of him, and you can only be with your brother forever." Fuzhu chuckled and placed a kiss on the bone jade.
