“Princess Zi is really good at talking. Not only can you talk, you’re also very smart. However, I hope you don’t go overboard. Give me Mo Qian’er.” Lu Fenying put down his cup and spoke in a neutral tone, but nevertheless wasn’t to be denied.
Gu Bailu also liked talking to people who didn’t beat around the bush.
“Your Highness, I don’t understand. You had Qian’er stay back in your residence, and now you’ve come running over to ask me for her?”
Denying it no matter what was the first step.
“Throw her in,” Lu Fenying ordered coldly.
Someone carried a box in and opened it to reveal a disgusting-looking body.
Although the body was showing signs of decomposition, Gu Bailu recognized that it was the body of the female slave which they had used in the switch.
While the face was a little deformed, it clearly wasn’t Mo Qian’er’s face.
She had used the 9,999 Spring Harbingers to turn the female slave into Mo Qian’er, but the 9,999 Spring Harbingers could only last for three days. So, she had gotten Su Muwei to feed the body 9,999 Spring Harbingers one more time to maintain its appearance.
That was six days, which was more than enough time for the body to be buried.
So, nothing should have gone wrong.
But who would’ve thought that Lu Fenying would beg the Nether King to bring Qian’er’s soul back?
“Your Highness, why did you bring a corpse to my house?” Gu Bailu asked angrily.
Even if she was exposed, she had to deny it.
“This is the Mo Qian’er you left me,” Lu Fenying said coldly. He didn’t expect the woman to refuse to admit it at this point.
What a scoundrel.
“What a joke. My disciple has become this hideous? Qian’er was beautiful when I left her to you. I don’t know what you mean by throwing a body at me.”
Lu Fenying looked at Feng Qingtian. “Does Prince Zi have anything to say?”
Feng Qingtian said indifferently, “Whatever my princess said.”
Since the princess wasn’t going to admit it, neither would he.
Even though it was an open secret.
“Alright.” Lu Fenying stood up and was about to leave.
“Wait…” Gu Bailu called out.
Lu Fenying turned around to look at her, and Gu Bailu pointed at the body. “Take this away.”
Lu Fenying narrowed his eyes, which were full of killing intent, but he restrained himself in the end and left.
Naturally, he didn’t take the body with him.
Feng Qingtian raised his hand at the attendant. “Take her away and bury her.”
Gu Bailu sat down. “Lu Fenying was so easy to deal with. I’m afraid he’s up to something.”
Feng Qingtian chuckled. “It’s fine. At most, he’ll discuss with those people in the palace how to deal with me, but they’ve long become useless. There’s nothing to be afraid of.”
Gu Bailu relaxed when she saw how confident he was.
Who would have thought that Lu Fenying would come back that evening to Prince Zi’s house.
Gu Bailu was confused. “Your Highness, why are you here again?”
“I’m staying in Prince Zi’s house. Of course I’ll come back when it gets dark,” Lu Fenying replied indifferently, making Gu Bailu choke on her breath.
How come I don’t know that you’ll be staying in Prince Zi’s house?
Didn’t you leave in a sulk? Weren’t you going to think of a way to deal with us? How can you come back so easily and say that you’re staying here?
Who said you can stay here?!
