“Wait – tell me what you want.” Su Muwei stopped her.
She never knew that Mo Qian’er had a master. She thought that Mo Qian’er was merely a helpless maid in the crown prince’s residence that everybody could take advantage of because nobody would help her.
But the situation had changed. She didn’t expect Mo Qian’er to come out this time with a master.
Also, her master seemed extraordinary.
Having been sick for years, Su Muwei spent most of her time reading books in her room.
She had read about the Heavenly Eye which Gu Bailu had opened for her just now.
While it was described as an evil practice years ago, it was very impressive.
She believed that Gu Bailu really could kill Mo Qian’er if she wanted to.
If Mo Qian’er died, there would be no hope for Su Muwei, and all her years of endurance would have been in vain.
Gu Bailu sat down with a smile and shook out her robe. “As expected, Miss Su is quick on the uptake. Our requests are very simple. Firstly, you have to guarantee that Qian’er and I will leave this place safely and that Lu Fenying will no longer bother us.
“Secondly, the crown prince has a piece of the Sky Splitting Mirror. Along with Qian’er’s Dragon Spirit Blood, it’ll cure you completely. After that, you’ll help me take it away.”
Su Muwei narrowed her eyes at her. “You want the Sky Splitting Mirror?”
Gu Bailu admitted frankly, “Yes. Why else do you think I would come to the crown prince’s house or treat you? I have better things to do.”
“The Sky Splitting Mirror is a symbol of the country and a sign of the future king. The crown prince will never let you take it away.” Su Muwei frowned.
“That’s why I’ve come to you. He will definitely give it to you if you ask for it, right?”
Su Muwei shook her head. “That’s the crown prince’s most precious item. I can’t make him lose it…”
Gu Bailu said with a smile, “Is the item more precious than your life? Think carefully.”
Su Muwei pursed her lips, as if considering if she should conspire with an outsider against the crown prince.
Gu Bailu said again, “The day I get the Sky Splitting Mirror is the day you’re cured.”
As if she had made up her mind, Su Muwei said uncomfortably, “I don’t want to betray the crown prince, but you’re forcing me to. You’re really heartless.”
“Then what’s your decision, Miss Su?” Gu Bailu was too lazy to deal with her pretentiousness.
If she really loved the crown prince, she could’ve sacrificed herself. Nobody was forcing her to keep her life.
“Alright, I agree to your demands. You and Mo Qian’er will leave after you have the Sky Splitting Mirror?”
Gu Bailu stood up. “Who the hell wants to hang around this sh*tty crown prince’s residence? Qian’er and I will leave.”
Su Muwei also believed that Mo Qian’er didn’t want to stay. That woman had been abused so much that she ran away in the end.
Now that she had been caught, she was definitely eager to leave.
As long as Su Muwei could be cured, she wanted Mo Qian’er to go as far away as possible.
“It’s a deal then. You must talk to the crown prince about the Sky Splitting Mirror in the next day or two.” Gu Bailu checked the time and realized that Lu Fenying probably wasn’t done yet.
Su Muwei snorted. “I hope you can do as you say and cure me.”
“I don’t think you want the crown prince to know that we met in private, so tell your guards and maids to keep it a secret.”
Gu Bailu left the yard after saying that. She now had to save Qian’er.
The only reason Qian’er could’ve let Lu Fenying ravage her again was to buy Gu Bailu more time.
