Chapter 572 - Lu Fenying in the Flesh (1/2)

Lady Su scoffed, “Both your lives combined aren’t even worth one strand of hair on Weiwei’s head.”

“Alright, then.” Gu Bailu got up and s.n.a.t.c.hed the pill out of the imperial physician’s hand. “Disciple, let’s go.”

“Wait…” The second son of the Su family stopped her and said to his father, “Father, why don’t we have someone try it first? Once we’ve confirmed that it’s not poisonous, we can give it to little sister.”

He had heard the rumors on the street. They all said that the Daoist nuns had cured a lot of people.

That was why he was showing Gu Bailu enough respect.

Eager to cure his daughter, the master of the Su family could only grit his teeth and try the medicine.

Thus, Gu Bailu and Qian’er stayed in the Su mansion.

Though they weren’t forbidden from leaving their rooms, their yard was surrounded by experts; it was impossible to leave the Su mansion even if they wanted to.

“The more closely they watch us, the more likely they are to give the pill to Su Muwei.” Gu Bailu said to Qian’er, “I wonder if Ah Luo will be able to find food for herself when we don’t return.”

Qian’er smiled and said, “She’ll die before she skips a meal. She’ll definitely be able to find her own food.”

That night, even more experts showed up, along with some secret guards.

Gu Bailu said with a smile, “It seems that the pill has already been sent to the crown prince’s residence, and Lu Fenying wants to give it a try.”

Qian’er’s face froze at the mention of Lu Fenying. She didn’t know if she feared or hated him.

She recalled those dark days again and her heart felt like it was being stabbed.

Gu Bailu patted her hand. “You have to control yourself. Chances are we’ll be going to the crown prince’s residence tomorrow.”

Gu Bailu’s guess was spot on. The next morning, the master of the Su family brought people over. “Please come with us to the crown prince’s residence. The crown prince wants to meet you.”
