"I'm fine." Qiu Yan also carefully looked Gu Qian over.
After a month apart, Gu Qian had already cleared the obstacles behind him, which surprised Qiu Yan.
"He's causing you trouble again?" Gu Qian asked.
Qiu Yan shook her head: "It was a coincidence. I found him in Old Qiu's yard."
Could it be that we've come to the wrong place? In any case, Gu Qian doesn't believe in such a coincidence.
Because Bai Lu was there, Ling Qi lowered her head and dared not look Gu Qian in the eye.
"Still alive?" Gu Qian questioned Bai Lu while coldly glancing at Ling Qi, making him uneasy.
Disobeying orders is punishable by law; he and Ling Ba had learned this lesson the hard way several times before.
Tragically, this time, Ling Ba wasn't there to share the burden with him.
Qin Susu was puzzled; General Gu was unusually stern today.
She, too, dared not even breathe loudly.
She was afraid that Qiu Yan would complain, and if that happened, Gu Qian would definitely kick her out.
Bai Lu remained silent, only lowering her eyes, making it impossible for anyone to guess what she was thinking.
"Ling Qi, you speak!" Gu Qian's words were sharp, making both Bai Lu and Ling Qi turn pale with fright.
Thump, Ling Qi knelt down on both knees, "General... General, Bai Lu, she..."
Ling Ba readily accepted Qin Feng's offer. "General, Ling Qi was merely moved by compassion. He has fallen for this woman. I beg you, please forgive him this time."
Ling Ba's words of exoneration made Ling Qi feel very uneasy.
"Is that so?" Gu Qian was somewhat shocked.
His cold eyes seemed to be filled with ice, staring directly at Ling Qi until sweat beaded on his forehead.
He asked in a deep voice, "Ling Qi, is what Ling Ba said true?"
“…Yes.” Ling Qi had known this day would come, but she didn’t want it to arrive so soon.
Just now, he was thinking about letting Bai Lu leave.
With Qin Feng present, it's clear that Bai Lu won't leave.
"Your subordinate knows his mistake, General. Please spare Bai Lu. She has long since given up her previous life and only wants to protect your subordinate."
"I beg you, please spare her."
He kowtowed three times, his forehead soaked with blood.
The white dew remained still, showing little change.
She concluded that Ling Qi was being hypocritical, and that the reason she was acting this way was because of the fetus in her womb.
He doesn't like himself.
This scene moved Qin Susu, who was standing nearby, to tears.
General Gu's imposing manner was quite frightening, making her tremble with fear.
Qiu Yan shook her head secretly.
"Gu Qian, let's go home first. We can talk about this later."
With Qiu Yan's intervention, Gu Qian's expression softened.
He nodded slightly, shifting his gaze from Ling Qi to Ling Ba.
"Ling Ba, take this man to the back mountain first!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Lu panicked.
What are they going to do with him in the back mountain? Are they going to execute him on the spot...?
The tragic scene flashed through her mind, and she felt that Gu Qian's words were piercing to the heart.
Her face grew increasingly pale, and she knelt down with a thud.
"No...General Gu...No, don't kill him."
As proud and aloof she is, she rarely has such a humble moment.
This scene left Qin Susu speechless, but she was still completely bewildered.
Originally, it was she who was uneasy; Bai Lu had been quite calm throughout the journey.
Unexpectedly, things have turned out the other way around.
She gave Qiu Yan a fawning look once again.
Whatever you do, don't badmouth her.
Gu Qian noticed Bai Lu again, "You come along."
Such a dangerous woman must never stay by Yan Yan's side.
Qin Susu clenched her fists and hurriedly stood in front of Bai Lu, "General Gu, Sister Bai Lu is a good person, don't take her away."
She finally understood that Bai Lu and this mysterious man were in cahoots.
However, thinking about this made her even more confused.
Who exactly is this man? Could he be General Gu's... love rival?
Qiu Yan, you really are endlessly charming!
Above, His Majesty covets you; below, this nobody, on his deathbed, even makes a special trip to see you one last time.
It would be strange if General Gu wasn't angry.
