691 Lu Fenying Is Coming, I Have to Run
Gu Bailu was a woman of her word. She said she would bring Qian’er back, and she did.
Now that Lu Fenying knew that she was dead, she didn’t have to worry about him being her nightmare anymore; she had broken away completely.
To Qian’er, the air slled of freedom.
Seeing Gu Bailu co in, she smiled brilliantly. “Master, am I dreaming? I’m really back in Prince Zi’s house!”
Gu Bailu took her hand and sat down. “You’re not dreaming. We’re all back, but I have to tell you sothing.”
Qian’er’s face tensed up. “What... what is it?”
“Don’t be scared. Lu Fenying is coming to Southern Glory Empire.” Gu Bailu had to make sure that Qian’er was prepared, in case they gave the ga away when Lu Fenying arrived.
Qian’er’s face changed drastically. She had thought that everything was a beautiful dream just now, but a sudden bolt from the blue woke her up.
So, it really was a dream?
And she had now woken up from it.
Qian’er smiled gloomily. “He caught up so quickly. I didn’t even have ti to catch my breath.”
Gu Bailu had spent so much ti and effort to get her out, but it was all for nothing.
“Su Muwei didn’t say that he knows we faked your death. She only said that he’s coming to Southern Glory Empire. Maybe he’s just here for fun. He might not be here for you.” Gu Bailu consoled her.
Qian’er shook her head. “It’s winter now, and the new year is coming. He’s not the sort to co out for fun, and it’s his coronation next month. He won’t co to Southern Glory at this ti unless it’s important.”
Qian’er wasn’t optimistic about Lu Fenying’s trip to Southern Glory Empire.
Lu Fenying might be the crown prince, but he didn’t like socializing. He usually remained in the crown prince’s residence after he returned from court.
Of course, he wasn’t bored in the crown prince’s residence. He learned the zither, chess, calligraphy and painting, and was good at them.
He spent the rest of the ti abusing Mo Qian’er.
He forced her to learn the four arts as well, and when Mo Qian’er lost to him in chess, she was punished by kneeling or made to clean the chamber pots.
Apart from that, he would also watch people play the lute and dance. He didn’t have any other hobbies.
He had authority, power and strength; he didn’t need to curry favor or draw any powerful or noble families to his side.
Besides, Heavenly Wind Empire was completely under his control. He didn’t need any help from Southern Glory Empire.
So, the only reason he could be in Southern Glory Empire was to capture her.
However... Qian’er still felt that sothing wasn’t right. If Lu Fenying really wanted to capture her, he didn’t need to co himself. He had the slave mark flute. Although he couldn’t control her mind from a distance, he could make her suffer in agony and force her to return.
“My plan was so perfect. How did he find out?” At Qian’er’s words, Gu Bailu also felt the situation wasn’t optimistic. It was almost the new year, and Lu Fenying had co to Southern Glory. There was nothing happening between the two countries that was important enough for him to co out.
Gu Bailu had the most say here, since her man held the most power here.
“But we don’t know for sure.” Qian’er rebutted her own words. “If he really wants to capture , he doesn’t have to do it himself. He might be coming for so important thing.”
After thinking out loud, she shook her head. “I can’t be scared of him. I have to run now. I can’t stay in Pale Emperor City. I have to be at least 300 kiloters away from the slave mark flute.”
She stood up and said, “Master, I’m leaving. Whatever he’s here for, I can’t be too close to him.”
The slave mark flute could control a person’s mind within 300 kiloters. She had to get out of that range.
