Chapter 204 A Personal Promise
The lotus flowers were in full bloom in August, and the group was immediately drawn to them as soon as they arrived at the pond.
"Little Master, we'll just wander around here for a bit and then head back. You can go ahead and get back to your work!"
Gu Shuyan turned around and looked at the little monk with a kind expression. The little monk gave her a few words of advice and then left.
Amidst the lotus blossoms, Gu Shuyan left Xu Feng outside while she took Pearl to the other side of the pond.
"Miss!"
Fei'er cautiously peeked out from the dense forest behind her.
"We'll talk about it later."
Gu Shuyan looked around and gestured to the pavilion not far away.
"You said you wanted to see me, but you haven't shown up after several attempts. What happened?"
Looking at Fei'er's somewhat haggard expression, Gu Shuyan had a feeling that Fei'er hadn't been doing too well lately.
"Something has indeed happened. Before long, Li Yingxue will be able to become the Crown Prince's concubine."
Two days after the guard died, Li Yingxue was taken back to the Crown Prince's residence by the Crown Prince. However, in order to avoid suspicion, the Crown Prince did not give Li Yingxue a formal title.
I never expected to become a concubine so quickly. Li Yingxue really hasn't disappointed me!
"The Crown Prince's concubine is not of low status, so what exactly happened?"
"Li Yingxue is pregnant, and she is about two months along now. The Crown Prince has personally promised that as long as she gives birth to this child, regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl, he will make her a concubine."
In other words, in another six months, Li Yingxue will be able to turn her life around in the Crown Prince's residence.
"Fei'er, you've worked so hard." Gu Shuyan patted Fei'er's shoulder. This girl was not very old, but she had endured far more than most people her age.
"Miss, since Li Yingxue got married, her personality has become increasingly ruthless, and her actions have become more and more unpredictable. She hates you to the bone, so you must be very careful!"
Now that Fei'er is in the Crown Prince's residence, she is inevitably feeling constrained. All she can do is inform Gu Shuyan in advance.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Since she's pregnant, we can't let her get too tired. Chunxiang is still in the brothel, isn't she? It's about time we let the two of them see each other again. Who knows, we might even have a good show to watch!"
Gu Shuyan wasn't afraid of what tricks Li Yingxue might pull. Nowadays, besides clinging to the Crown Prince, Li Yingxue had long since lost any trump cards to compete with her.
Add to that the rivals she personally helped cultivate, and it remains to be seen who will emerge victorious in this battle between the sisters!
"It's good that Miss understands. I can't stay out here for too long, or it will arouse suspicion. I'll go back now."
Fei'er turned to leave as she spoke, but Pearl grabbed her hand first.
Having obtained a blessing for conceiving a child and ensuring peace, Fei'er nodded to the pearl and instantly disappeared into the dense lotus flowers.
"Let's go! It's time for us to go back."
Looking at the lotus flowers covering the pond, Gu Shuyan's mood was no longer as gloomy as it had been in her previous life.
This is just the beginning.
"This young lady has disturbed my peace and quiet, and she wants to leave without even an apology?"
Gu Shuyan had just taken a step when a pleasant voice came from behind her.
Upon hearing this, Gu Shuyan's eyes darkened, her dark pupils instantly becoming like an unfathomable pool.
"Eavesdropping on other people's conversations is not the behavior of a gentleman."
As Gu Shuyan spoke, she turned to look at the person who had come in. Her face showed no panic as if she had been caught red-handed. Instead, she exuded a faint murderous aura.
The man, realizing that she wanted to kill herself, couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.
