Chapter 646 Small Soldiers

Gu Bailu’s eyes widened. How had word of last night’s incident spread to the royal court?

Gu Bailu found that odd. She asked Feng Qingtian if he had done it.

Feng Qingtian shook his head. “I didn’t. Even though I did plan to do so, this isn’t my territory, and the nobles wouldn’t have heard of it so quickly.”

“That’s strange. Who did it? There can’t be any moles in the crown prince’s residence.”

“Not necessarily. Not everyone in the crown prince’s residence works for him.”

Gu Bailu suddenly understood. “That’s right, there are people from the Su family here...”

Who would benefit the most from the news that the crown prince wouldn’t trade a city for a female slave?

The first would be Qian’er. To prove that he hadn’t abandoned his country for the sake of a female slave, Lu Fenying might agree to Gu Bailu’s terms.

The second person would be Su Muwei. If the nobles and the emperor hated Qian’er because of this, she would never be recognized and would never be able to rise beyond her position.

Su Muwei wanted Qian’er’s blood, but she was also scared that Qian’er would snatch Lu Fenying from her. This was the best way to cut off Qian’er’s escape route and make everyone oppose her.

“It has to be Su Muwei. She has people in the residence, and can use the people in the Su house to spread the news quickly.”

No wonder Lu Fenying hadn’t interrogated Gu Bailu even though he looked like he hated her. He probably knew that it was Su Muwei’s doing.

“Whether it’s her or not, it’s a good thing for us. Actually, we all have one goal. She doesn’t want Qian’er to be with Lu Fenying, and neither do we,” said Feng Qingtian.

Gu Bailu nodded. “What I want to know now is what will Lu Fenying do.”

Feng Qingtian snapped his fingers and someone came out of hiding. He instructed, “Go find out how Lu Fenying dealt with this in court.”

“Yes.”

The person went to ask around and soon returned. It made no difference. Lu Fenying had only said five words: “None of your damn business.”

Gu Bailu was speechless.

There were times one had to admire Lu Fenying’s courage and arrogance.

Doing this for a slave went against the entire slave system.

Despite Lu Fenying’s careless answer, however, he would never really do anything for Qian’er.

“He just couldn’t be bothered to waste time talking with those people.” Feng Qingtian was sure of it.

Gu Bailu agreed.

“I’ll use my Heavenly Eye to see what Lu Fenying will tell Qian’er.”

Gu Bailu opened her Heavenly Eye, but then hurriedly shut it.

“See no evil, see no evil...” she murmured.

Feng Qingtian asked in concern, “What’s wrong?”

“That beast is bullying Qian’er again!”

Although he was helping Qian’er bathe, Gu Bailu didn’t believe that he would be able to resist ravishing her.

Feng Qingtian’s face darkened. “Don’t look at them in the future!”

Wouldn’t that mean she saw Lu Fenying’s body? The sour taste of jealousy bubbled up in Feng Qingtian’s heart.

Gu Bailu nodded. “I won’t; I’ll send soldiers to ask around.”

“What soldiers?” Feng Qingtian asked curiously.

She had her own men here?

Gu Bailu took a few bamboo tubes from the table and opened them. Five or six ants crawled out, followed by three butterflies, two mosquitoes, and a mouse.

Feng Qingtian: “...”

“That’s them. They’re really good and better than anyone at finding out things.”

Gu Bailu grinned and said to her small soldiers, “Go and see what they’re talking about in the bedroom in the main courtyard, and report back to me.”
