Chapter 855: Untitled
Gu Bailu nodded and sat in his arms. “My lord, when can we live peacefully and happily?”
“Soon, I promise.” Feng Qingtian stroked her lips.
“I met a fortune-teller today. She told me something that made me uneasy.”
Gu Bailu told him what the elderly woman said.
Feng Qingtian’s face changed immediately. “Don’t listen to her. It was just a coincidence.”
“But... I met a pervert today.” Gu Bailu rubbed her face against his chest, feeling satisfied after smelling his masculine scent.
“Who?” Feng Qingtian asked in a low voice.
“The emperor of Rising Clouds. What’s his name?”
Gu Bailu felt that it was too much of a coincidence. The elderly woman had just said that she would run into a disastrous love affair, and the Rising Clouds emperor came running out. It was unbelievable.
“Xiao Jingyun.” Feng Qingtian raised her face. “What did he do?”
“Said some scum things.” Gu Bailu narrowed her eyes. “I really want to beat him to death.”
“Kill him.” Feng Qingtian’s eyes were filled with killing intent.
Gu Bailu didn’t need to say anything for him to know that the bastard’s words wouldn’t have been nice to hear.
“What kind of person is he?”
Feng Qingtian clenched his fists. “He’s ambitious, unscrupulous, and insidious. Unlike Lu Fenying, who is blatantly ruthless, he always plays dirty tricks in private. The throne shouldn’t have been his.”
“Then who should have been emperor?”
“His cousin, Xiao Xiao.”
“Ah... Mr. Xiao?”
“The one with the purest and most outstanding spiritual power in the Xiao Clan is Xiao Xiao. Xiao Jingyun can only be ranked second, but back then, he used a method to make Xiao Xiao take the medicinal path.”
“Does Mr. Xiao know?”
“He should have some idea.”
Feng Qingtian stroked her lips. “I’m afraid Xiao Xiao won’t be able to sit still either. In order to obtain Mo Qian’er, he won’t be willing just to remain a doctor.”
Gu Bailu widened her eyes. “You mean... Xiao Xiao will... But isn’t it forbidden for members of the royal family to seize the throne?”
“Just on the surface.”
In fact, whether it was Feng Qingtian or Lu Fenying, both had wrested authority from the emperor beforehand; it was just that they hadn’t openly pulled the emperor down from the throne.
Gu Bailu clapped her hands. “It’s time to cooperate with Mr. Xiao.”
“I’m just making a guess. After all, if Xiao Xiao wants to take the throne, his medical expertise will go to waste.”
Gu Bailu exclaimed, “That would be a pity. No, no. We have to buy more elixirs from him before he makes a decision. Once he switches to cultivating the sword arts, those pills will be absolutely precious. We’ll make a fortune if we sell them.”
Feng Qingtian’s lips twitched. “Aren’t we going to buy some for our own use?”
“We have Dragon Spirit Pills. Sigh, but this way, there will be one less brilliant doctor in this world.”
“His consultation fees are ridiculously expensive. Not many people in the world can afford to hire him.”
Gu Bailu thought for a moment and realized that he was right; there was nothing to regret.
Two days later, Feng Qingtian received news that Xiao Xiao had left Prince Zi’s residence and returned to Rising Clouds.
Gu Yunjing had gone to Prince Zi’s residence and was asking to see Yan Anchun, and they were waiting on Feng Qingtian’s instructions.
Feng Qingtian approved Gu Yunjing’s request without hesitation.
Gu Bailu clicked her tongue in wonder. “Prince Zi’s residence is a precious place. Aren’t you afraid that he’ll remember the layout if you let him in?”
