“Qian’er is fine now, but her body is injured. I’m afraid it’ll be difficult for her to have children again in the future. However, we’ve achieved our objective.”
Gu Bailu sighed. She had never expected Qian’er to be hurt like this.
She had still been too slow that night.
“I knew that something would happen after the crown prince pushed her like that. I’m so useless, I couldn’t stop it,” said Xiao Xiao guiltily.
He used his spiritual power to refine pills; fighting wasn’t his forte.
“It’s not your fault. My plan wasn’t a good one, either; all I did was drag you into it.” Gu Bailu’s words were heartfelt.
Xiao Xiao had suffered so much for Mo Qian’er’s sake this time, and had almost lost his life.
He would’ve known that he would be risking his life when he agreed to help Mo Qian’er in the beginning.
But he had done so without any hesitation.
If it wasn’t because he loved her deeply, he wouldn’t be willing to risk his life.
Unfortunately… Qian’er couldn’t respond to his feelings now.
She could only let his feelings go.
“I wanted to do it. You didn’t drag me in. I’ll take a look at Miss Qian’er after I recover.” Xiao Xiao was worried. “Will the crown prince stop me?”
After this, Lu Fenying probably wouldn’t let him see Miss Qian’er again.
Gu Bailu smiled. “That won’t happen. He doesn’t want his woman to become barren. You know what he’s like.”
Xiao Xiao didn’t feel happy when he heard that, and instead felt even worse. Could it be that Lu Fenying wanted Miss Qian’er to bear more children for him in the future, and was completely treating her as a production tool?
The woman that he had always wanted to treat gently had been violated by someone else. Xiao Xiao could only hate that he was useless.
Naturally, Gu Bailu could tell that he was unhappy. Her words were also to remind Mr. Xiao that he and Qian’er couldn’t be together. She hoped that he would be able to give up.
Xiao Xiao didn’t accept Gu Bailu’s kind reminder. He felt uneasy when he thought of how Mo Qian’er would continue to be bullied by Lu Fenying.
Some feelings which were suppressed for so long were very hard to take back once they were released.
Just like his feelings for Miss Qian’er. He would do his best to help her be rid of that brutal man.
Xiao Xiao had never regretted using his talent in spiritual power to refine pills, but he regretted it now. If he didn’t refine pills, he wouldn’t be a mere wandering doctor; he could rule the world like Lu Fenying, and Rising Clouds Empire would be his.
But regrets were useless. Fortunately, he could still use his medical skills to keep her from suffering.
When Gu Bailu arrived at the northern courtyard, Mo Qian’er had just fallen asleep.
The maid knew that Gu Bailu was here, and went to wake Mo Qian’er up.
Mo Qian’er had been waiting for Gu Bailu. Now that she had been advised not to move around, she could only lie in bed and wait for her.
“Master…” Mo Qian’er looked at her with hazy eyes. “Master, the crown prince said that I’m leaving tomorrow. Master, I really don’t want to part with you.”
She leaned over and hugged Gu Bailu, showing how much she relied on her.
“Qian’er, I don’t want to part with you either, but don’t worry; you don’t have to leave tomorrow. You’re still recovering, and Lu Fenying agreed to wait until you’ve fully recovered.” Gu Bailu patted her back.
Since Qian’er called her master, she had to be worthy of the title.
“Really?” Mo Qian’er smiled radiantly, like a fresh green sprout in spring.
“That’s right. There’s also this. Take a look… Master wanted to fight for a title for you. Even if you can’t become consort, you can still become a wife. However, Lu Fenying has his own considerations, and I think that he’s right as well. I could only get this for you…”
