Chapter 587 What“s With That Smile?

“Miss Su’s body is too weak to bear a child for the crown prince, which is her biggest regret, but the crown prince got Qian’er pregnant. Of course Miss Su doesn’t like her.” Seeing no guards around, the maids shared the gossip.

They also felt sorry for Qian’er. Because the crown prince selected her to carry his baby, Miss Su caused trouble for her openly and in secret. The days were few when she was fine.

Though they were all angry about it, none of them could help her.

Actually, very few of them really liked Su Muwei, who was so wicked even when she lay half-dead in bed. No wonder the heavens punished her to be bedridden.

“I kind of like the plum blossoms. Since the crown prince doesn’t like them anyway, can I move a couple of them to the western courtyard? My disciple loves plum blossoms very much.” Gu Bailu changed the subject.

The maids thought for a moment. “It should be fine. The crown prince never appreciates the plum blossoms and isn’t interested in them. But the butler still has to be informed... We’re not in charge, after all.”

“Then please help me inform the butler and have a couple of the trees moved to my yard.”

The maids nodded.

Gu Bailu wandered around for almost an hour before Lu Fenying finally returned from the royal palace with Red Wolf.

Gu Bailu wasted no time in giving him the pill she had made that day.

She said peaceably, “Please forgive me for my offense yesterday, Your Highness. I was angry because of what happened to my disciple, but when I went back, I found that you were kind enough to treat my disciple’s hand. I knew then that I must’ve misunderstood Your Highness, so I’m here to deliver the pill today and apologize.”

Holding the pill and examining it carefully, Lu Fenying said, “Your pill truly isn’t bad; Muwei was in high spirits yesterday.”

“Hehe... Your Highness, I wouldn’t have dared come here if I wasn’t confident,” said Gu Bailu proudly.

Lu Fenying raised his head and looked at her. “How is your disciple?”

“She’s fine, but she’s shy and easily intimidated. I hope that your men can keep a distance from her. She’s scared of physical contact.” Gu Bailu found a perfect excuse for Qian’er.

She passed out when Red Wolf bumped into her, and sank into deep fear when Lu Fenying touched her, because of a phobia of physical contact.

This way, Lu Fenying would be much less suspicious.

“I understand. As long as you can cure Muwei, I will honor you accordingly.” Lu Fenying had only one goal, which was for Su Muwei to be well again.

Therefore, he could tolerate Gu Bailu’s arrogance.

“Thank you, Your Highness. The rumors about you are unfounded. I thought you were unreasonable, but you treated my disciple’s hand after she was injured yesterday,” said Gu Bailu gratefully.

Frowning, Lu Fenying asked, “Doesn’t she have to make pills? How can she make pills if her hand is injured?”

“But thank you for your kindness anyway, Your Highness. I’ll take my leave.”

Gu Bailu smiled meaningfully before she quietly took her leave.

Lu Fenying was a little unhappy when he looked at her back. What was with that smile?

He had treated the Daoist nun’s hand for her only because she was making pills for Muwei. He had no other intentions.

This Daoist nun was really overthinking it.

Gu Bailu didn’t think that she was overthinking it. Lu Fenying taking the pains to explain it just showed that he didn’t know why he did it.

He had bandaged Qian’er’s hand for her because she had to make pills with it?
