The Eldest Daughter Reborn: She Provoked the Obsessive Crown Prince and Couldn't Escape

"That...that Flying Horse..." Yuan Lu stared at the thing in Fu Luan's hand and stammered.

"Of course I'll give it to you after you've finished your business. Your Highness, the Xianbei are getting closer and closer to Chang'an."

"You don't have much time left..." Fu Luan wrapped the Flying Horse in a silk handkerchief and put it away in front of Yuan Lu, waiting for his reply.

Although she knew he would definitely agree—because Yuan Lu in her previous life not only did as she said, but did it very well.

But she still wanted to see with her own eyes what it would be like for Yuan Lu to fall into the trap she had set for him.

"I... sigh! Fine, fine, I'll wait a few days..."

"Hmm? What day is 'a few days later'? Is it the day the Xianbei envoys enter Chang'an?" Fu Luan asked disdainfully.

"Oh no... Alright, I'll tell Father when I pay my respects to him after court tomorrow!"

"Is this alright now?" Yuan Lu was completely under Fu Luan's control, leaving him no room for rebuttal.

He sometimes lamented: How come this beautiful wife is so hard to fool after the divorce?

You should know that back when he was in the Eastern Palace, he would sneak out under the pretext of looking for his colleagues or brothers, but in reality he would go out to drink and have fun.

He might be having an affair with the concubines of certain officials, but Fu Luan has never been so suspicious as he is now!

Fu Luan snorted and got up without saying a word.

Yuan Lu knew she wanted to leave, so he didn't stop her;

With other people around, it wasn't convenient for him to be intimate with her, but...

"Wife, back when we were in the Eastern Palace, you would kiss me every time you left the house;

"Could we... today..." Yuan Lu pleaded pitifully.

He knew the chances of Fu Luan agreeing to such an unreasonable request were extremely slim, but he still shamelessly asked.

Unexpectedly, Fu Luan said with a half-smile, "Alright... but Your Highness must close your eyes first."

"Grandma..." Hua Luo quickly tried to stop her, but Fu Ling tugged at her sleeve, shook her head, and gestured for her to be quiet.

This little incident did not dampen Yuanlu's spirits.

He quickly sat up straight and closed his eyes;

Like other teenagers, he waited for his "wife" to give him a farewell kiss.

Fu Luan gazed quietly at Yuan Lu, her former husband and the man she had loved with all her heart.

His eyelashes were long, curled, and upturned.

This was her impression of him when she first looked at him seriously in her past life.

Despite having experienced the pain of national and personal vendettas and the destruction of her family, she now hates Yuan Lu with a passion.

However, it must still be admitted that Yuan Lusheng possessed a face that could make countless women fall for him.

If he had an extremely ordinary face, would she still fall for it?

"Mmm..." His fingertips gently brushed against his face, making Yuan Lu's face feel tingly and his heart feel itchy;

"Ah!" But he immediately felt a gentle breeze on his face—Fu Luan had slapped him.

Both Yuan Lu and Yuan Jiu asked for a kiss, but their fates were completely different.

"Hey, what are you doing!" Yuan Lu covered his face.

Compared to being trampled by a horse or corrosive toxins, this slap wasn't heavy, but it was enough to make him feel humiliated.

On the day of their divorce, Fu Luan did the same thing, slapping him twice in front of the Emperor!

"Suddenly I don't want to kiss anymore..." Fu Luan wiped her hands, looking disgusted.

"If you don't want to kiss me, then don't. Why did you hit me?" Remembering that the Flying Horse that could have reversed his fate was still in Fu Luan's hands, Yuan Lu's questioning was finally a little gentler this time.

"Don't forget what Your Highness promised me tomorrow!" Fu Luan ignored him and turned to leave.

As soon as the door opened, a maidservant gave her a slight bow, went inside without even saying hello, and closed the door.

"This prince looks delicate, but he's actually quite easy to take care of. One maid is enough to serve him?"

“Our young master practices martial arts, yet he still has seven or eight maids surrounding him!” Hua Luo asked curiously.

"That depends on what you're serving; some things... one person is indeed enough to serve!" Fu Luan snorted.

Under the thin blanket was Yuan Lu's naked body; it wasn't hard to imagine what the maid had gone in to do.

Sure enough, a moment later, sounds of "hmm hmm ah ah" came from inside the room.

Fu Luan recalled that the woman's face was quite pretty;

Despite her young age, she possessed an alluring charm and an indescribable grace.

"Looks like I wasn't lenient last time. This good-for-nothing seems to be enjoying his life of pleasure..."

“Fu Ling, is there any medicine that can prevent people from experiencing ‘that’ pleasure?” she asked angrily as soon as she returned to her room.

Fu Ling smiled and said, "Yes, there is. Since there are things in this world that can bring pleasure, there must also be the kind of medicine that you mentioned, Grandma."

"Huh, really?" Fu Luan asked this question in a huff, but she didn't expect that it actually existed.

Fu Ling nodded, and Fu Luan couldn't wait to have Fu Ling prepare a sample to try.

"This medicine is easy to prepare, but it will take some time. May I ask, madam, is it for men or women?"

"Should it be temporarily effective, or..." Fu Ling asked.

"For men. As for time... naturally, it's so that his thing will never be needed!" Fu Luan sneered.

The next morning, shortly after the court session, various messages arrived from the Liangyi Hall—

“The Prince of Youbeiping overstepped his bounds”;

"The Emperor was furious";

"The fiefdom of the Prince of Youbeiping remains unchanged, but he is promoted from 'Prince of the Commandery' to 'Heir Apparent Prince'";

"His rank and stipend will be halved compared to other heirs"...

The root of this apparent promotion that was actually a demotion was, of course, the matter that Fu Luan had Yuan Lu tell him.

"Hmph, you fool!" Fu Luan said smugly.

The change from "Prince of the Commandery" to "Heir Apparent Prince" essentially meant losing the fiefdom that had been in his hands;

From now on, Yuan Lu could only live off his salary for the rest of his life, and all the benefits and rights within Youbeiping County would be irrelevant to him.

"Oh dear, even with a limp, the Prince of Youbeiping still hasn't forgotten to dig a pit for the Prince of Yuyang!"

"Yes! Can you just make random statements about asking for the establishment of a crown prince?"

"Everyone says that Prince Yuyang was wronged for raping the princess and ruining the marriage alliance plan;

"I'm pretty sure it's the Prince of Youbeiping who's behind this!"

"Can this matter be brought up? His Majesty said back then, 'Let bygones be bygones! Whoever brings it up will be slapped!'"

Rumors in the palace always spread very quickly; some even bring up past events.

Hearing this, Fu Luan felt even more guilty towards Yuan Jiu...

Fortunately, less than two hours later, news came from the palace that the emperor had bestowed the title of Prince of Yan upon Yuan Jiu, the Prince of Yuyang.

Although he was not made crown prince, he was promoted from a prince of the second rank to a prince of the first rank, which was equivalent to slapping Yuan Lu in the face!

"Grandma, that day you told the Prince of Youbeiping to suggest that the Prince of Yuyang be reinstated as the crown prince; "

"He also talked about all sorts of benefits and guaranteed that nothing would go wrong, so why is he now..." Hua Luo wondered.

Fu Luan let out a long sigh and chuckled softly, "Your former son-in-law..."

"He's a complete idiot; he doesn't read a single book. I told him about 'the affair of Princess Kuri,' and all he knows is about Princess Kuri;"

"But the exact same thing can have completely opposite endings!"

Just as Fu Luan was about to explain, a servant announced, "His Highness the Prince of Yan has arrived..."
