Gu Bailu wouldn’t let him go. She shouted, “Shao Zun! You’ve lost, don’t run!”
Su Shenfan waved his hand. “Isn’t he unconscious? We’ll talk about the bet when he wakes up.”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. The grand young master of the Earthly Residence, making a bet with his life and then running away after losing. Aren’t you afraid that you won’t be able to get any business in the future?” Gu Bailu knew what Su Shenfan was thinking. He was trying to renege on the bet.
Su Shenfan glanced over. “Nope, you won so easily. Do you think this will end once you have your kid?”
Gu Bailu was speechless.
Okay, when you admit defeat, you really look like 007.
“Isn’t it just a request? The last thing I’m afraid of is a request.”
You’re someone who takes on jobs, you’ve never refused them!
With that, he pulled Bu Yaolian along and left.
Gu Bailu asked, “My lord, are they going back on their word?”
Xiao Jingyun was an almighty emperor who represented so many ministers in his country. When he lost, he unexpectedly fainted to dodge his debt…
Shameless.
“They wouldn’t dare. Does it hurt?” Feng Qingtian rubbed her back.
As soon as he touched her, Gu Bailu grimaced. “It hurts. It’s because of this pain that I can’t let them go back on their word.”
Feng Qingtian’s eyes were dark and murderous.
Gu Bailu leaned into his arms. “Don’t worry. It actually doesn’t hurt that much. I’ve already reduced the injury and redistributed the impact of the energy.”
“I’ll apply some medicine on you when we get back.” Feng Qingtian picked her up and was about to leave the palace.
Gu Bailu stopped him. “My lord, we’ll stay in the palace tonight. Since the emperor is acting dumb, we won’t leave until we get what is our due.”
Feng Qingtian frowned. “Staying here?”
Gu Bailu whispered to him, “Both he and Shao Zun have exhausted their strength tonight, and the palace is in chaos because of the competition. The ministers have returned home, and the captain of the imperial guards is injured. It’s time to search the palace.”
Feng Qingtian had naturally considered this, but he remembered the wound on Gu Bailu’s back. “No, we need to heal the injury first.”
“I’m really fine. If I let go of such a good opportunity, my injury will never recover…”
Feng Qingtian glanced at her coldly. “Lulu.”
His words were filled with warning. He could allow her to be endlessly willful, but it definitely didn’t include her cursing herself.
Gu Bailu clung to his neck and said coquettishly, “I’m sorry. I won’t talk about myself like that anymore.”
Feng Qingtian sighed helplessly. “Then we’ll stay here.”
When they arranged to stay in the palace, no one dared object.
The chief eunuch in charge arranged for them to stay at Fu’an Palace, which wasn’t far from where Shao Zun and the others were staying in Qinghua Palace.
Feng Qingtian insisted on applying the medicine on Gu Bailu.
“Get some rest. I’ll take someone with me to search the palace tonight…” Feng Qingtian covered her up.
Gu Bailu was about to say something, when Feng Qingtian pulled a long face. “Don’t protest.”
Gu Bailu sniffed. “My lord is so fierce. He’s not cute at all. He’s scolded me many times today.”
Feng Qingtian rubbed her head affectionately and helplessly. “You’re pregnant now. Don’t mess around.”
Gu Bailu snorted. “You just think I’m a burden and don’t want me to go with you.”
“What are you talking about? You’re not a burden. You’re the best support.” Feng Qingtian kissed her on the lips. “I’ll take someone to check things out while it’s still chaotic. Be good, okay?”
