Chapter 825: Taking the Throne, Delayed Again

　　Ye Huai hurriedly took two steps back. “No, no, I’m leaving.”

　　His lord was a petty man. He didn’t want to be misunderstood as an imaginary enemy and punished again.

　　Feng Qingtian held Gu Bailu in his arms. “How are you now? Have you recovered?”

　　Gu Bailu nodded. “I’m feeling better. My spiritual power hasn’t returned yet, but with the Night Lotus, there’s no need to worry that I won’t have any.”

　　“Alright. The barrier has been repaired. We can’t stay here for long. I’ll take you back first.”

　　“Do you know where this is? I want to go to Rising Clouds Empire.” Gu Bailu was in a hurry to save her parents’ souls.

　　“Let Ye Huai take a look. He’s familiar with the geography of the continent.”

　　Gu Bailu nodded.

　　Feng Qingtian summoned Ye Huai and gave him some instructions.

　　Ye Huai went out for a while and then returned. “My guess is that this is the border between our country and Rising Clouds Empire, Full Moon Peak.”

　　“Then let’s go to Rising Clouds Empire right now. I have to go,” Gu Bailu said firmly.

　　Feng Qingtian looked at her and sighed. “Your spiritual power hasn’t recovered yet, and the baby is so heavy. Can you take it?”

　　“It’s fine, I can hold on. I won’t be able to bear it if I can’t save them,” Gu Bailu insisted.

　　Feng Qingtian stroked her head affectionately. “Alright, go if you want.”

　　Ye Huai frowned. “My lord, if you go to Rising Clouds Empire now, our plan…”

　　“Postpone it.” Feng Qingtian stood up with Gu Bailu and flew out of the woods.

　　Ye Huai’s lips twitched. The plan to seize the throne was postponed again and again. Do you still want to be emperor or not?

　　Women were indeed trouble!

　　They weren’t going to war with Rising Clouds Empire, so Ye Huai brought the Dark Army back, leaving behind only a few guards with strong spiritual power.

　　After leaving Full Moon Peak, they rented a few carriages in a small town and went on their way.

　　People who were in a hurry were usually the fastest to move, but Gu Bailu was simply too exhausted.

　　She also didn’t want her body to give out completely when she went to save Father and Mother Gu.

　　After all, she still had to act within her own capability when saving someone.

　　The carriages sped forward and entered the heart of Rising Clouds Empire. On the way, Feng Qingtian sent a letter from Qian’er to Gu Bailu via the heavenly network.

　　Qian’er started the letter by saying that she missed Gu Bailu very much. She then said that she was practicing what Gu Bailu had taught her, but it didn’t seem like she was making much progress.

　　She then said that Lu Fenying had ascended the throne, and she was now living in a palace alone with many servants.

　　Although her status wasn’t high, nobody dared to be disrespectful toward her since her baby had been conferred as the crown prince.

　　Lu Fenying had been very busy after ascending the throne and almost never came to her palace. She was happy and relaxed.

　　Then, she said that she had been unused to the food on the way back, and that Lu Fenying had taken in a female chef, who was now in the royal palace.

　　The woman was breathtakingly beautiful.

　　Gu Bailu frowned. Where did such a woman come from?

　　Qian’er was truly a thoughtless person. Why did she let Lu Fenying bring such a dangerous woman into the royal palace? She had to think of a way to make the woman get lost.

　　But thinking about Qian’er’s personality… forget it. If she knew how to fight, she wouldn’t have been bullied by Su Muwei for so many years.
