Small Soldiers

Gu Bailu's eyes widened. How had word of last night's incident spread to the royal court?

Gu Bailu found that odd. She asked Feng Qingtian if he had done it.

Feng Qingtian shook his head. "I didn't. Even though I did plan to do so, this isn't my territory, and the nobles wouldn't have heard of it so quickly."

"That's strange. Who did it? There can't be any moles in the crown prince's residence."

"Not necessarily. Not everyone in the crown prince's residence works for him."

Gu Bailu suddenly understood. "That's right, there are people from the Su family here…"

Who would benefit the most from the news that the crown prince wouldn't trade a city for a female slave?

The first would be Qian'er. To prove that he hadn't abandoned his country for the sake of a female slave, Lu Fenying might agree to Gu Bailu's terms.
