Evil Prince, Come Play With Me

675 Gritting My Teeth

Sitting in the carriage for the last few days, Gu Bailu ate, slept, woke up, and ate again, and her belly seemed to have become even more prominent; it was very obvious that she was pregnant.

It was probably because it knew its father was next to it that the baby was growing faster.

Feng Qingtian hugged her. “Go to sleep. We should reach Pale Emperor City tomorrow, and I’m going to make up for lost time.”

Gu Bailu closed her eyes and fell asleep quickly.

Looking at the woman sleeping soundly in his arms, Feng Qingtian kissed her lips, then smiled at the scent of duck neck.

Ah Luo, who was holding a bowl of duck necks and munching with gusto in another corner of the carriage, looked warily at Feng Qingtian.

Feng Qingtian hadn’t wanted to buy any duck necks at first, but Ah Luo kept yelling that she wanted to eat them. Gu Bailu felt a little bad for Ah Luo, who had been left on her own outside the crown prince’s residence for so long, so she had asked Feng Qingtian to buy some.

Worried that Feng Qingtian wouldn’t let her eat them, Ah Luo left with the bowl and sat at the front of the carriage.

Feng Qingtian remembered that Gu Bailu had a maid before who was very smart.

He wondered where that maid had gone.

...

In the bamboo grove in the crown prince’s residence in Heavenly Wind Empire, the woman on the bed sat up excitedly. “What did you say? Mo Qian’er is dead?”

“Yes, my lady. Red Guard said it himself. There should be no mistake,” the maid whispered to Su Muwei in delight.

Su Muwei was so happy she almost burst out laughing. Mo Qian’er was finally dead, and had died in front of His Highness. She would never be a hindrance again.

She didn’t expect Princess Zi to be so capable.

Su Muwei suddenly burst into tears again. “Is she really dead? She must’ve died to save me. It’s all my fault. I killed her... I’ll go see His Highness and apologize to him...”

“My lady, your wounds haven’t healed yet. You shouldn’t be moving around so much.” The maid persuaded her to lie back down.

Only then did Su Muwei feel the pain of her stitches.

That damn Princess Zi, actually giving her such big cuts which hurt so much.

She must’ve done it on purpose!

“Have them prepare a litter. Mo Qian’er died to save me. I have to go.” Su Muwei had to go, no matter what.

“My lady, no need to trouble yourself. The crown prince didn’t tell you to go.” The maid tried to persuade her.

She didn’t think that it was necessary to put on a show. After all, Mo Qian’er was dead and her lady was the only woman in the residence; how would the crown prince not dote on her?

“Just go when I tell you to.” Su Muwei cursed Gu Bailu again.

Once again, she felt that Gu Bailu had done it on purpose.

The guards outside didn’t dare disobey Su Muwei, for fear that she might hurt herself. They prepared a comfortable litter and carefully carried Su Muwei to the main courtyard.

Red Wolf was still standing outside the side room.

The crown prince hadn’t moved since yesterday. Red Wolf tried to persuade him to eat, but he was almost beaten up again.

He didn’t dare tell Lu Fenying that the Nether King might be able to bring Qian’er back to life.

The Nether King was the man who had imprisoned Mo Qian’er before. In the crown prince’s eyes, he was an enemy...

How could he lower himself to beg him?

Red Wolf was wondering what to do, when a bunch of guards carried Su Muwei in.

“Miss Su is still wounded. How can you make a scene here?” Red Wolf’s face turned even colder. Things were already chaotic enough. Why was Su Muwei here?

“Red Guard, where’s the crown prince? Did something happen to Qian’er?”
