Ling Feng looked at Mu Houchu with surprise. Indeed, their master was astute; he'd instantly discerned there must be a condition attached.
"Elder Xu stated, if he were to help, it wouldn't be easy. If His Highness can agree to one condition, he would give it a try." Ling Feng paused before reluctantly looking up at Mu Houchu, "He stated if you're truly sincere, you'll pledge a thousand liangs of gold and ten thousand qings of good farmland."
Mu Houchu scoffed coldly, "If he can save her, then even ten thousand liangs of gold won't be a problem."
Ling Feng bowed his head in agreement, "Yes."
"You may leave."
However, Ling Feng hesitated before adding, "There's one more thing."
"What is it?" Mu Houchu was growing impatient.
"When the doctor came to diagnose the princess earlier, he discovered... "
"Discovered what?" Mu Houchu furrowed his brow in worry.
He dreaded it might be bad news.
"The princess is with child," said Ling Feng.
