“With your blood available, how can he die? Don’t tell me you don’t understand?” the old lady retorted gloomily.Did Qian’er not understand? Of course she did. She knew that with her blood, Lu Fenying wouldn’t die that easily.

But even knowing that she had done the dumbest thing, it was the only thing she could do.

In fact, there was nothing to be afraid of. Lu Fenying might be the dark cloud that loomed over her, or a ferocious demon from hell, but she had dared to hurt him.

It didn’t matter whether or not she killed him.

What mattered was that she had the courage to protect her child. She had taken that necessary step.

There was no need to be scared of him, not anymore. It was Lu Fenying who should be afraid of her. When he saw her now, he would remember that she had almost killed him with a dagger.

He should know that she would do anything to protect her child.

That was the only thing that Qian’er wanted him to know.

Qian’er closed her eyes. She had been so tired her entire life; now, she could finally sigh with relief.

She had finally stood up for herself.

Gu Bailu cleaned Lu Fenying’s wound with salt water and applied the doctor’s medicine to it. Red Wolf then wasted no time escorting Lu Fenying back to the residence.

Qian’er was too weak to move. Without an order from Lu Fenying, Red Wolf didn’t dare take her away. He could only leave several guards behind to watch her.

Naturally, Gu Bailu couldn’t stay at the cottage in case she fled with Qian’er, so Red Wolf took her back to the crown prince’s residence.

In order for Qian’er to recuperate peacefully at the witch’s place, Gu Bailu had no choice except to listen to Red Wolf.

Back at the crown prince’s residence, Gu Bailu asked the butler, “Who was the important guest who met the crown prince today?”

“Someone from Prince Zi’s residence in Southern Glory Empire. He came with a letter.” The butler was most grateful to Gu Bailu and Qian’er for saving his life. Naturally, he told her everything he knew.

Gu Bailu frowned deeply. As she had expected, after days of searching, Feng Qingtian decided to cooperate with Lu Fenying.

Lu Fenying was looking for Qian’er, and Feng Qingtian was looking for Gu Bailu, so they would make a good team.

Feng Qingtian was very smart. He must’ve guessed that they had changed their appearances. So, he let Lu Fenying know and had him look out for them in Heavenly Wind Empire.

After reading the letter and learning that they could change their faces, there was no need for Lu Fenying to guess what was going on.

The two pregnant women had different faces, but Qian’er’s reactions were too familiar for him to ignore.

It seemed that Gu Bailu couldn’t linger in the crown prince’s residence for much longer. She had to hurry up and get that piece of the Sky Splitting Mirror.

With Lu Fenying heavily wounded, now was her best opportunity.

Gu Bailu delivered a pill to Red Wolf in the evening. “This is the pill for Miss Su. She must eat the pill every day.”

Red Wolf hesitated after taking the pill. It had always been the crown prince who delivered the pill. If the crown prince didn’t come today, Miss Su would definitely ask.

If she learned that the crown prince was badly wounded, she would make a scene and demand to see him.

Though Miss Su seemed gentle, she didn’t really have a good temper.

But Miss Su had to take her pill, so Red Wolf could only deliver it in person. Gu Bailu gave an ant in the room a meaningful look, and it followed Red Wolf.

While it was said that the crown prince’s house was so impregnable that even a mosquito couldn’t fly in, everybody knew that was just an exaggeration; who would really care about small insects like mosquitoes or ants?

The best use of her ability in communicating with ants was to make deals with them, and deals were something Gu Bailu was very familiar with.
