The Crown Prince looked at her and shook his head. He had nothing to say, knowing that he could not fool her.
He got married at the age of eighteen and it had been thirty years since then. She was the one who understood him the most. He could hide his words from others but not from her.
Lu Yurong sighed, "Aunt, I didn't even cry. Why are you crying?"
"What a poor girl!" Lu Xiaomei took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped her eyes. She sighed, "I didn't expect to be betrayed by the person I trusted the most. He wanted to kill me. He must be furious!"
Lu Yurong said, "Aunt, you're wrong. I knew uncle would do this. I just didn't think it would be so soon. I thought it would be a while later!"
"Yurong!" Lu Xiaomei glared at her, "You always think so badly of people!"
Lu Yurong snorted softly and said, "Am I right this time? Aunt, don't meddle in these things. It's better to keep an eye on Leng Feng. I've already kicked him out of the Public House and let him come back! "
"Yurong, don't make things difficult for Feng Er," Lu Xiaomei quickly said.
Lu Yurong said, "Don't worry. I'm not uncle. I'm not that cruel. I'm not that heartless to turn my back on you!"
"Shut up!" The Crown Prince slammed the table and shouted, "You think you're in the right?! You betrayed me and you're still so unscrupulous. You're shameless! "
Lu Yurong laughed coldly and said, "That's right. I've already betrayed you. Let me ask you, what would your subordinates think? Who would still believe you? Who would still be loyal and not be afraid of becoming the next me?"
"Don't try to drive a wedge between us. I won't fall for it!" The Crown Prince curled his lips in disdain, "As long as they want wealth, they'll have to work hard for me. I won their loyalty not because of friendship but because of my status!"
"Alright, when your status is taken away, I'd like to see who else will be by your side!" Lu Yurong sneered, "I don't think that day is too far away. Uncle, you better be prepared!"
"Just you and that kid Xu An?" The Crown Prince shook his head in disdain, "You're useless. No matter how capable you are, he's just a grandson, not a prince. He has no right to fight for the throne!"
"Not necessarily." Lu Yu Rong scoffed, "Don't forget about Chu Li!"
"Chu Li!" The Crown Prince gritted his teeth.
If it were not for Chu Li, he would have gotten rid of Lu Yurong and shifted the blame to Tang Ye without anyone knowing. The Ren Public House would only hate the Fu Dynasty and serve him. Without Lu Yurong, he could use the Ren Public House without worry.
"Chu Li is a disciple of Goddess Attraction Mountain. If he becomes an Enlightened Master in the future, Xu An won't be so powerless against the Fu Dynasty anymore. He won't be as sullen as the Emperor. I believe the Emperor will consider this carefully!"
"Impossible!" The Crown Prince's face changed, and his heart sank.
Lu Yurong said, "The Emperor's heart is hard to fathom. Who knows if it's possible? It's too naive to expect the Emperor to pass the throne to you just because you're the Crown Prince. I'm sure you know how ruthless the Emperor can be."
The Crown Prince fell silent.
Of course, he knew that accompanying the Emperor was like accompanying a tiger. It was the same even for the Emperor's son. The Emperor had always placed the Leng family's empire above all else. He had cast aside his personal feelings. Otherwise, he would not have abandoned Lu Yurong so easily.
Lu Xiaomei sighed, "Yurong, since you know that the Emperor's heart is hard to fathom, why bother getting involved in this mess?"
Lu Yurong glanced at the Crown Prince and laughed coldly, "If I don't help Xu An, uncle-in-law will kill me. If I help Xu An, uncle-in-law won't dare to do anything rash. I'm only trying to save my life. I have no choice."
"Excuses!" The Crown Prince laughed coldly, "You're hiding in Goddess Attraction Mountain, how can I go there?"
Lu Yurong said, "Am I supposed to hide in Goddess Attraction Mountain for the rest of my life? Besides, why should I hide in Goddess Attraction Mountain instead of walking openly in the Great Ji Dynasty? Your Highness, let's see who's better. Let's see who's the Emperor, you or Xu An! "
"Fine! Fine! "The Crown Prince gritted his teeth," Do you think Xu An will win for sure? "
Lu Yurong said lightly, "Who knows what will happen in the future."
"If Xu An fails, he can return to the Titanium Temple unscathed. What about you?" The Crown Prince laughed coldly, "You'll still be abandoned!"
"That's still better than being killed by you now!" Lu Yurong said.
"… How about this, I won't kill you." The Crown Prince said in a low voice, "Leave the Imperial Residence of King An."
Lu Yurong smiled disdainfully. She raised the wine cup, looked at the wine in it, and slowly put it down.
"What are you doing? Are you afraid that I'll poison it?" The Crown Prince asked.
Lu Yurong scoffed, "Try drinking this!"
She pushed the wine cup over in annoyance.
The Crown Prince flicked his finger, and the white jade cup flew out, disappearing into the bushes.
Lu Yurong laughed coldly, but did not say anything.
Lu Xiaomei frowned and glared at the Crown Prince. She did not expect him to use her subordinates to poison her. Lu Yurong did not have her guard up against her. If she accidentally drank it, it would really poison her to death.
Lu Yurong said, "Your Highness, it's best if you don't use such tricks in the future, or else you'll be asking for trouble."
"Are you threatening me?" The Crown Prince laughed coldly, "You're already working for the Imperial Residence of King An!"
"That's right!" Lu Yurong scoffed, "Your Highness, I know everything about you. Don't force me to use those tricks!"
"Fine! Fine! " The Crown Prince gritted his teeth and nodded hard, "I've really fed an ingrate. I didn't expect you to be this kind of person!"
"You couldn't kill me in one hit," Lu Yurong said coldly. "Actually, you had already killed me at that time. I'm not the Lu Yurong from before. Your Highness, be careful!"
"Lu Yurong, you can't escape from me!" The Crown Prince scoffed, "Don't think that everything will be fine just because you have Chu Li. Don't forget that there's still the Ren Public House!"
"That depends on Your Highness's tricks," Lu Yurong smiled faintly.
"Hehe, it's so lively," Chu Li appeared at the bottom of the pagoda's stairs.
He walked into the pagoda and closed fist saluted with a smile, "Your Highness, Princess, please forgive me for visiting without notice!"
The Crown Prince squinted his eyes and stared coldly at Chu Li.
The Crown Prince's Imperial Residence had a formation. Other than the main entrance, no one could enter. Could it be that he entered from the main entrance? More importantly, he had snuck in without anyone noticing.
What was worse was that he did not even sense his presence. If he closed his eyes, there would be no one in front of him. This Chu Li had truly reached the realm of the Integration of Heaven and Man. He was too much of a threat to him!
Chu Li looked at Lu Yurong and sat beside her with a smile, "Have you caught up? Princess, Lu Yurong came here today because of you. As for Your Highness, there's really nothing to say about your enemy who wants to kill you. "
"Head Chief Chu," Lu Xiaomei sighed, "I'm relieved that Lu Yurong can follow you."
Chu Li smiled, "Don't worry, Princess. We'll take our leave first."
"Then I won't send you off," Lu Xiaomei smiled.
Chu Li looked at Lu Yurong.
Lu Yurong nodded.
He grabbed Lu Yurong's slender waist and the two disappeared in a flash.
