Gu Bailu grinned. “I like smart people like you. You should know that the prince likes Qian’er very much.”

Su Muwei replied mockingly, “The prince regards her as a mere bedservant. The quality of her life is entirely up to me.”

“It’s undeniable that the prince loves you, but you can never sleep with him, given your poor health. The privileges that a woman should enjoy will all fall on Qian’er. You’re nothing but a sick bird caged in the backyard,” Gu Bailu said sharply.

“I’ll be cured as soon as Mo Qian’er gives birth to her baby.” Su Muwei’s lip curled. “You don’t need to provoke me. I know how important I am to the prince. Nobody can change that.”

“What if Qian’er is unwilling to give birth to the child? You may die, or become old and withered.”

“Does she have a choice? Is that for her to decide?” said Su Muwei proudly.

“Everyone dies. If she’s willing to die, she always has a choice, and pulling you down with her would be even better.”

Su Muwei’s face slightly changed. She narrowed her eyes at Gu Bailu. “Mo Qian’er will kill herself? Does she really have the guts to do that?”

“Even a dog will jump over a wall when it’s cornered. She had the guts to escape, didn’t she? A word of advice: remember that your life depends on my disciple, and drop your arrogance, which is only because of your man.” Gu Bailu’s face instantly turned stern.

If she didn’t make Su Muwei aware that she might not live, it would be impossible for Gu Bailu to continue negotiating with her.

Su Muwei still thought that the crown prince had Qian’er under control, and that she could still manipulate Qian’er.

These two people were really hateful.

They bullied Qian’er and didn’t view her as a human being at all.

“So why are you here?” Su Muwei raised her head and looked at Gu Bailu. “You want Mo Qian’er to become the crown princess and future queen?”

Gu Bailu snorted. “Do you really think everybody cares about that sort of crap like you?”

“Why else would Mo Qian’er send you here?” A trace of cunning flashed in Su Muwei’s eyes.

Wasn’t that the only thing Mo Qian’er could be after?

“It’s the opposite: you need to help her leave the crown prince and make sure that he won’t look for her again… Also, the baby has to go with her.” Gu Bailu stated her intentions.

Su Muwei smiled. “The baby goes with her? How can I be cured without the baby?”

“As long as you agree to our request, we’ll figure out a way to cure you.”

Su Muwei shook her head. “Don’t be naive. I was treated with Mo Qian’er’s blood for four years, but I wasn’t cured. The baby is a must.”

“You want the baby’s blood, right?” Gu Bailu felt that something wasn’t right. Didn’t they want the baby’s Dragon Spirit Blood?

“The blood is useless. I need the baby’s heart,” said Su Muwei calmly.

Gu Bailu’s heart jumped. They weren’t going to use the baby as a permanent blood bank, but were going to take out its heart directly?

Gu Bailu’s entire body felt cold. Lu Fenying was such a monster that he would kill his own baby for Su Muwei?

“Miss Su, don’t you think that’s too vicious?” Gu Bailu couldn’t help asking the useless question, but she truly found it hard to believe that they could be so ruthless.

“I wouldn’t have let the crown prince sleep with Mo Qian’er if her baby couldn’t save me. I’m a woman too. Why would I want my man to sleep with another woman?” She said it so self-righteously, as if she was the one who was most wronged in the matter.
