Chapter 618 Miss Su Has Good Taste
Remembering that Gu Bailu had asked her to stall him for an hour, Qian’er closed her eyes.
She just hoped that the baby would be fine.
Knowing that Qian’er would hold Lu Fenying back, Gu Bailu followed the ant’s trail and made her way to the rear court where Su Muwei lived. The courtyard was at the very back of the crown prince’s residence and surrounded by a bamboo grove.
The bamboo was green even though it was winter.
The bamboo wasn’t for decorative purposes, but was part of an array.
It was impossible for an ordinary person to pa.s.s through the bamboo.
But not for Gu Bailu, who had learned arrays and teleportation from her master since the very beginning.
It might’ve been impossible for her to crack the array before, but her Heavenly Eye had leveled up. She could see a regular person’s past and future, to say nothing of an array.
She entered the yard very smoothly.
There were many guards in the yard. They stopped her the moment they saw her. “How did you enter?”
“The crown prince asked me to deliver the pill and check up on the patient to see if there are quicker ways to cure her,” said Gu Bailu without batting an eye.
The guard asked suspiciously, “Why didn’t the crown prince come with you?”
The crown prince generally didn’t let others approach Miss Su.
“The crown prince is busy with Miss Qian’er. He has no time to come over.” Gu Bailu cleared the guard’s suspicions with one sentence.
It had happened before. Everybody in the residence knew that the crown prince liked Qian’er’s body the most, and Miss Su was often angry about it.
Qian’er had just returned after so long; the crown prince would definitely slake his l.u.s.t first.
However much he loved Miss Su, he couldn’t touch her. As a normal man, he had to take care of his physical needs; he couldn’t wait for Miss Su his whole life.
The guard let Gu Bailu in.
Su Muwei was picking clothes in front of a shelf with the support of a maid.
“Miss Su, these are the newest clothes that the crown prince sent today. They’re all the most fas.h.i.+onable styles in Three Lives Capital, and have been tailor-made for you. Which one would you like to wear?” asked the maid.
Su Muwei thought for a moment. “I like everything that the crown prince gives me. Which outfit do you think the crown prince will want me to wear?”
She had been lying in bed for a while. After taking Gu Bailu’s pills for a few days, she could finally get out of bed and put on beautiful clothes now. Naturally, she had to show her prettiest side to the crown prince.
“The crown prince will like whatever you wear. He loves everything that you love.” The maid wasn’t just flattering her. For years, she had seen how the crown prince cared for Miss Su.
He couldn’t even bear to see her frown.
But what confused the maid was why the crown prince would touch that Qian’er and break Miss Su’s heart, when he loved Miss Su so much.
Miss Su didn’t know yet that Qian’er had returned; if she did, she would be devastated once more.
“Then let me think carefully. It’s not easy for me to get out of bed. I must wear the prettiest clothes.”
“You can try them on one by one. Now that the crown prince has gotten you a doctor, you can put on any clothes in the future.” The maid comforted her.
Su Muwei was indeed comforted. She smiled. When her body was well enough, she would be able to fulfill the crown prince’s physical needs, and he would forget that inferior slave called Qian’er.
“I’ll pick this one.” Su Muwei picked a crimson hundred-pleated dress.
Gu Bailu walked in and remarked, “You do have great taste, Miss Su. Every woman in Three Lives Capital loves that dress and longs to buy it. Unfortunately, the embroidery shop only made three of them, and two of them were sent to the crown prince’s residence. The people out there are fighting for the last one.”
