However, Mr. Xiao said that Bu Yaolian was in good condition; it was just that she subconsciously didn’t want to face some things, which was why she wasn’t waking up.
Her life wasn’t in any danger.
After Qian’er got the Dragon Spirit Blood back, the baby started to grow again.
Lu Fenying insisted on taking Qian’er back with him, and Gu Bailu asked for her thoughts. Qian’er didn’t know what to do. She didn’t want to go back. That wasn’t her home.
But she knew that she had to go back.
Gu Bailu could only help Qian’er stall for time.
She had made a decision in her heart that she hadn’t told Qian’er about. She already knew what button to push to make Lu Fenying angry. Now, as long as Qian’er cooperated, she might be able to successfully plant the Backlash Gu in Lu Fenying.
That way, Qian’er wouldn’t have to be afraid of Lu Fenying’s slave mark flute. At the very least, she would have a little more freedom in the crown prince’s residence.
However, she didn’t dare tell Qian’er about knowing how to set Lu Fenying off.
After all, if it was done too lightly, Lu Fenying wouldn’t lose control.
Mulling over it, she told Feng Qingtian everything. Feng Qingtian asked curiously, “Why is he so hostile toward Mr. Xiao?”
“He’s very hostile. I think something happened before. Furthermore, Qian’er is quite special to Mr. Xiao.”
“Since there’s hope, let’s give it a try. But don’t let the act turn real, or something might happen with Lu Fenying.”
With his support, Gu Bailu found Qian’er the next day.
“How has Lu Fenying been treating you in the last few days?” Gu Bailu and Qian’er chatted behind closed doors.
“He’s not forcing me to sleep with him. Maybe it’s because the baby’s condition has just stabilized, so he doesn’t dare act recklessly. It seems he really does want the baby.” That was what Qian’er felt.
She had thought that the baby wasn’t important to Lu Fenying, that it was just a tool for him to save Su Muwei.
Now that she knew that it was impossible for him to have a baby with another woman, she was relieved. Her son was the only one. Even if Lu Fenying could kill the baby’s mother, he couldn’t abandon the baby.
How could he secure his place on the throne without an heir?
“You don’t know why he can’t have children?” asked Gu Bailu.
Qian’er shook her head. “I really don’t. He’s always been healthy and hardly falls sick, but I heard that he was poorly when he was born. Even the emperor didn’t like him, so his mother threw him out of the royal palace.”
“No wonder he dared to kill his mother.” Gu Bailu sighed.
Actually, Lu Fenying was a pitiful man. He had been thrown into a wolf pack at such a young age, and he wound up with the nature of a wolf. It was his parents’ fault.
“When he returned, his body was already fine and he had immense spiritual power. The emperor had no choice but to acknowledge him… I never expected there to still be something wrong with his body.”
Qian’er had thought that she knew everything about him, but she didn’t expect him to have kept such a big secret.
“That might be a good thing for you. He can only rely on you to carry his offspring. You might be able to change your fate.”
Qian’er, however, said, “I don’t really care about that. As long as the baby is treated well, I…”
“Don’t be stupid. Do you think the baby will be treated well if you don’t turn things around? Would someone as vicious as Su Muwei treat him well? Do you want someone else to be your baby’s mother?” Gu Bailu scolded her.
Qian’er was stunned. She hadn’t thought of that.
“Lu Fenying won’t let Su Muwei do that to the baby, will he?”
“He dotes on Su Muwei so much. Do you think he won’t abuse his own child for Su Muwei?”
