Su Muwei was perceptive. When Gu Bailu mentioned that two of the dresses were in the crown prince’s residence, she had already wanted to ask the question.

  If there were two, why did she only have one of the dresses?

  Now that Gu Bailu brought it up again, Su Muwei’s heart jumped, and she felt that things weren’t simple.

  “Who was it given to? You? You’ve definitely earned it. I wouldn’t mind at all,” Su Muwei smiled lightly and replied generously.

  Gu Bailu chuckled. “I’m not good enough for the crown prince to give me such a nice dress. The other dress was given to my disciple.”

  Slightly surprised, Su Muwei smiled again. “Your disciple deserves it. Both of you helped treat me. Both the crown prince and I are grateful to you. If you like it, I can offer you this dress. I don’t have a lot of things to express my gratitude with.”

  “Don’t say that. The crown prince thinks so highly of you that you can have everything in this residence the moment you ask for them.”

  “That’s true. The crown prince is the only one who doesn’t despise my broken body. Your disciple must look good in this dress,” said Su Muwei gently.

  She came back to the topic.

  Gu Bailu was amused. I thought you really didn’t care, but you switched back to the topic so cleverly. You think I don’t know you’re worried about who has the other dress?

  “Well, my disciple is truly beautiful. As her master, even I find her extremely attractive. Also, now that she’s carrying the crown prince’s baby, he will cherish her even more.”

  Su Muwei’s expression froze. “What did you say? Whose baby is your disciple carrying?”

  “The crown prince’s. But don’t worry. My disciple isn’t interested in the crown prince. She wants to run away,” said Gu Bailu, as if she was here just to tell Su Muwei not to worry and that her disciple was no threat to her.

  Su Muwei was stupefied. She never thought that while this Daoist nun who had saved her was plain, the nun’s disciple had hooked up with the crown prince.

  The disciple was even pregnant?

  “How is that possible? Haven’t you only been here for half a month?”

  She trusted that the crown prince wouldn’t sleep with any other woman except Qian’er, who could have a baby to cure Su Muwei.

  What was the Daoist nun implying?

  “That’s right. We’ve only been here for half a month, but my disciple left the crown prince’s residence a few months ago. I brought her back to fix the problem.” Gu Bailu crossed her legs and finished her tea.

  Su Muwei glared at her furiously. “Don’t tell me that your disciple is Mo Qian’er.”

  That was the only possibility. It could only be that b*tch Mo Qian’er, who left the crown prince’s residence a few months earlier with the crown prince’s baby.

  She actually came back!

  Su Muwei was overwhelmed with fury, but she still refrained from screaming.

  The crown prince lied to her! He didn’t tell her that Mo Qian’er was back!

  So, the pills she took were made from Mo Qian’er’s blood. No wonder she got better.

  “You don’t seem to be fond of my disciple. She’s your lifesaver. It’s only because of her that you’re alive,” Gu Bailu said with an odd expression.

  “She’s indeed my lifesaver, and I was grateful to her at the beginning, but after she climbed into the crown prince’s bed, I no longer owe her anything.” Su Muwei calmed down and curled her lip. “It seems you’re here for a reason. Tell me: what do you want?”


  Chapter 621 What I Want Isn’t the Baby“s Heart, But Its Blood

  Su Muwei waved at her maids. “Leave, all of you.”

  Soon, all the maids left the room.

  Gu Bailu grinned. “I like smart people like you. You should know that the prince likes Qian’er very much.”

  Su Muwei replied mockingly, “The prince regards her as a mere bedservant. The quality of her life is entirely up to me.”

  “It’s undeniable that the prince loves you, but you can never sleep with him, given your poor health. The privileges that a woman should enjoy will all fall on Qian’er. You’re nothing but a sick bird caged in the backyard,” Gu Bailu said sharply.

  “I’ll be cured as soon as Mo Qian’er gives birth to her baby.” Su Muwei’s lip curled. “You don’t need to provoke me. I know how important I am to the prince. Nobody can change that.”

  “What if Qian’er is unwilling to give birth to the child? You may die, or become old and withered.”

  “Does she have a choice? Is that for her to decide?” said Su Muwei proudly.

  “Everyone dies. If she’s willing to die, she always has a choice, and pulling you down with her would be even better.”

  Su Muwei’s face slightly changed. She narrowed her eyes at Gu Bailu. “Mo Qian’er will kill herself? Does she really have the guts to do that?”

  “Even a dog will jump over a wall when it’s cornered. She had the guts to escape, didn’t she? A word of advice: remember that your life depends on my disciple, and drop your arrogance, which is only because of your man.” Gu Bailu’s face instantly turned stern.

  If she didn’t make Su Muwei aware that she might not live, it would be impossible for Gu Bailu to continue negotiating with her.

  Su Muwei still thought that the crown prince had Qian’er under control, and that she could still manipulate Qian’er.

  These two people were really hateful.

  They bullied Qian’er and didn’t view her as a human being at all.

  “So why are you here?” Su Muwei raised her head and looked at Gu Bailu. “You want Mo Qian’er to become the crown princess and future queen?”

  Gu Bailu snorted. “Do you really think everybody cares about that sort of crap like you?”

  “Why else would Mo Qian’er send you here?” A trace of cunning flashed in Su Muwei’s eyes.

  Wasn’t that the only thing Mo Qian’er could be after?

  “It’s the opposite: you need to help her leave the crown prince and make sure that he won’t look for her again…… Also, the baby has to go with her.” Gu Bailu stated her intentions.

  Su Muwei smiled. “The baby goes with her? How can I be cured without the baby?”

  “As long as you agree to our request, we’ll figure out a way to cure you.”

  Su Muwei shook her head. “Don’t be naive. I was treated with Mo Qian’er’s blood for four years, but I wasn’t cured. The baby is a must.”

  “You want the baby’s blood, right?” Gu Bailu felt that something wasn’t right. Didn’t they want the baby’s Dragon Spirit Blood?

  “The blood is useless. I need the baby’s heart,” said Su Muwei calmly.

  Gu Bailu’s heart jumped. They weren’t going to use the baby as a permanent blood bank, but were going to take out its heart directly?

  Gu Bailu’s entire body felt cold. Lu Fenying was such a monster that he would kill his own baby for Su Muwei?

  “Miss Su, don’t you think that’s too vicious?” Gu Bailu couldn’t help asking the useless question, but she truly found it hard to believe that they could be so ruthless.

  “I wouldn’t have let the crown prince sleep with Mo Qian’er if her baby couldn’t save me. I’m a woman too. Why would I want my man to sleep with another woman?” She said it so self-righteously, as if she was the one who was most wronged in the matter.
