Lu Fenying let go of Qian'er and covered her with the blanket. "Stop crying. Nothing can be discussed if you keep crying."
He then tied the belt on his robe and opened the door. "Princess Zi, it's so late; you're not sleepy?"
Gu Bailu saw that although his clothes were neat, there were obvious wrinkles. He must've been bullying Qian'er earlier.
She looked at the door. "Qian'er, are you alright?"
"Master, I'm fine… Go back to sleep." Qian'er remembered Lu Fenying's warning. If she insisted on dragging Princess Zi in to defy him, he would hurt the princess.
She didn't want her master to get hurt, even though she knew that her master would fight Lu Fenying for her.
She had already done her best for herself. It was her own fate that wasn't good, so why drag her master into the abyss?
Gu Bailu, however, didn't want to leave. She could hear that Qian'er's voice was hoarse from sobbing. She had never heard Qian'er cry like this before.
