Clenching his fists, Lu Fenying glared at Qian’er. “You want to save someone else when you’re so pathetically weak yourself?”
“Your Highness, however weak my disciple is, she knows that she can’t let you kill innocents. I was the one who asked for the plum blossoms. Come at me if you’re angry. Is there a need to vent on innocent servants?”
Gu Bailu couldn’t understand. It was just a couple of plum blossoms, and the garden landscape wasn’t affected without them. Why was he so mad?
Something must be wrong with this man’s head.
“I’m disciplining my people. It’s not your place to intervene.”
Lu Fenying was truly annoyed by this Gu Bailu. How could there be such a stupid woman? She came to his main courtyard and took two plum blossoms away? Who gave her the permission to do that?
He hated the girl named Qian’er even more; she was so feeble, yet still dared to block his attack.
Who gave her the courage?
“It’s just a couple of plum blossoms. Why do you have to kill over them? Something must be wrong with your head. I’m a doctor skilled in treating all kinds of illnesses, including abnormal brains. Do you want me to treat you?” Gu Bailu was angered into laughing.
What kind of person was this?
Qian’er pulled her sleeve and shook her head hard.
“You really think I won’t do anything to you?” Lu Fenying glared at Gu Bailu, his eyes as sharp as blades. Then, a row of men in black, all as tall and bloodthirsty as Red Wolf, appeared behind him.
Qian’er stood up quickly and protected Gu Bailu. “Your Highness, my master simply wanted to save people, and overstepped a little. This happened because of me; I’m willing to take the punishment in their stead.”
Lu Fenying sneered. “You? For what?”
Biting her lip, Qian’er struggled to say, “I can help restore the plum blossoms.”
“You?” Lu Fenying’s eyes were as sharp as swords.
“If they’re not in their original location, I’m willing to tell you how to make the pills.” Qian’er stared at him, her clear watery eyes reflecting the tall and strong Lu Fenying.
Qian’er had seen his fury countless times. She knew that he was really angry.
When he was angry, he didn’t care about anything else.
Gu Bailu would be dead for sure.
Qian’er had seen him kill too many people just like that.
She couldn’t let anything happen to Gu Bailu. She would try her best to protect her.
This wasn’t Prince Zi’s house, and Lu Fenying wasn’t Prince Zi. Gu Bailu didn’t know how dreadful he was yet.
Gu Bailu seemed to sense something at that moment. Was there more to the plum blossoms than met the eye?
“Disciple…” Gu Bailu pulled her; wouldn’t she be exposing herself if she did this?
Qian’er shook her head. “Please don’t say any more. Don’t challenge him. He’s an inhuman lunatic. He’s not Prince Zi.”
Prince Zi could at least be reasoned with, whereas Lu Fenying was a demon without morals.
Gu Bailu shut up at Qian’er’s pleas.
Yes, this wasn’t Prince Zi’s house, and she didn’t have Prince Zi behind her back anymore.
In fact, when she was being arrogant or unruly, it was Feng Qingtian who took care of everything for her.
She didn’t think about it when he was in front of her, and only now did she realize that she never had to worry about anything when he was around.
Unfortunately, he only cherished her because she was carrying his baby.
“Let me see how you restore them.” Lu Fenying then jumped off the rail, went over to a small pavilion on the other side of the main courtyard, and climbed up to the third level.
