“Your Highness, you can die with my child.” Qian’er sat there and watched blood flow out of Lu Fenying’s chest over her body, her chest, and her abdomen.
She laughed out loud in delight. “Child, your mother was finally brave for once.”
She laughed and laughed, but her expression suddenly changed. She covered her stomach in pain at the contractions. She knew that the curse was flaring up.
The baby was leaving her, but that was alright; she would follow after the baby. They would be together, and nobody would be able to separate or bully them again.
Lu Fenying came back to his senses and hurriedly embraced her. “Mo Qian’er, are you alright? You’re fine. The baby will be fine. Hang in there.”
He took off his robe and wrapped her in it. He was about to get out of the carriage, when a fair hand pulled at him and stopped him. “Your Highness, don’t bother saving the baby. The baby’s body can save Su Muwei. Just let the baby go.”
Once it was dead, he could take the body. Just let her and the baby go.
In any case, he was going to die with them. She had no regrets anymore now that she had avenged herself and her baby.
“What are you talking about?” Lu Fenying was enraged. How did she know that the baby’s body could save Muwei?
“I’m serious. Ask the witch doctor if you don’t believe me. You should hurry and say your final words. You should be grateful that the woman you love will live even after you die.” For the first time in her life, Qian’er realized that she could beat him.
This should be her victory.
Even if he saved Su Muwei, he couldn’t be with her. How painful must that be?
After he was dead, he could only watch Su Muwei be with other men.
“Red Wolf!” Lu Fenying called out, and Red Wolf swiftly replied, “What are your orders, Your Highness?”
“Fish out the witch doctor and tell her I’ll give her everything she wants when the curse is lifted.”
“Yes, sir.” Red Wolf accepted the order and left.
Gu Bailu jumped out of her carriage and ran over. She lifted the curtain of Lu Fenying’s carriage, only to see bloodstains inside. There was a dagger in Lu Fenying’s chest, and blood was still dripping from the wound.
Yet he was still holding Qian’er with both hands, and didn’t look like he planned to let her go.
Qian’er was curled in on herself, sweat all over her forehead.
Gu Bailu hurriedly gave her a pill. “Qian’er, why were you so silly? It’s not worth it to die together with him.”
Tears welled up in Gu Bailu’s eyes. She regretted bringing Qian’er here. She shouldn’t have been presumptuous in telling her to confront her fear.
“Master… my life is a tragedy… but yours isn’t. I don’t know what misunderstanding you have about Prince Zi… but after all this time, I can tell that Prince Zi really loves you… Please don’t be willful anymore…”
Qian’er’s face was scrunched up and her head was a little muddled, but she still held Gu Bailu’s hand weakly and tried to talk sense into her.
She envied and admired nobody else but Gu Bailu in her whole life.
Gu Bailu had the courage to defy fate, and her courage won her a man’s love.
QIan’er knew that she was part of the reason why Lu Fenying didn’t like her. She was too soft and powerless, and too cowardly.
She had once had unrealistic illusions about Lu Fenying.
