Mo Qian’er’s face turned pale, and she asked nervously, “Is there something wrong with my body, Mr. Xiao?”
Xiao Xiao looked at her with mixed feelings. He didn’t know what to feel.
“Answer my question first. How are you feeling these days?” Xiao Xiao softened his voice, afraid that he would scare her again.
“I just feel bloated. It doesn’t hurt, but it’s a little uncomfortable. Nothing else.”
The doctor said that her body was injured and that the baby had been affected. It wasn’t a big deal. He only told her to rest more.
But why did Mr. Xiao’s expression look so terrible?
On second thought, she wondered why her master and the crown prince insisted that Mr. Xiao examine her when she was fine.
The crown prince even allowed her to be alone with Mr. Xiao.
He had asked her to swear not to see Mr. Xiao before.
Thinking this, Mo Qian’er’s hands became sweaty. She was scared… scared that something had happened to the baby.
“Is something wrong with the baby?!” Mo Qian’er grabbed his sleeve and asked, trembling.
Xiao Xiao looked at her. She was so weak that a gust of wind would blow her over.
“I need to touch the stomach,” Xiao Xiao said with difficulty. He was already eighty to ninety percent sure, but he still wanted to confirm it one last time.
Mo Qian’er frowned at him. “Why… Why…”
“Don’t worry. Lie down first. I’ll get some medicine.” Xiao Xiao helped her lie down and left the room.
He raised his head and looked at the clouds in the sky. The air was frighteningly cold. It would probably snow soon.
As he hurried to the pink cottage, snowflakes started to fall.
Xiao Xiao wrapped his cloak more tightly around him. He had never felt so cold in winter before.
Gu Bailu wasn’t in the pink cottage. She was feeding Bu Yaolian the King of 9,999 Spring Harbingers today, in the hopes that Bu Yaolian would become prettier.
While it would only be temporary, it would satisfy Bu Yaolian’s wish.
When Xiao Xiao arrived, Gu Bailu led him in happily. “It’s great that you’re here. I gave her the King of 9,999 Spring Harbingers. See if there’s any problem.”
She had asked Xiao Xiao to make sure that there were no problems with the King of 9,999 Spring Harbingers before feeding it to Bu Yaolian.
Of course, she only gave her a small piece.
Before they even stepped into the room, Xiao Xiao said, “Miss Qian’er’s baby is dead.”
Gu Bailu thought that she had heard wrong. She turned around and asked with a strange expression, “What did you say?”
“Miss Qian’er’s baby is already dead.” Xiao Xiao’s voice pierced Gu Bailu’s ears like a cold wind.
She shrieked, “What did you say? How is that possible? The royal doctors check on her every day. How can there be a problem?”
When she met Qian’er yesterday, she had checked her pulse. While it wasn’t good, the baby was fine!
Xiao Xiao said gloomily, “Miss Qian’er probably won’t be able to handle the blow. I can’t tell her myself.”
“How can that be? Tell me how the baby died. It was healthy before.” Gu Bailu’s hands were shaking.
Qian’er was staying in Prince Zi’s house, but the baby had somehow died in her womb.
“Miss Qian’er was poisoned.”
“That’s even more ridiculous. How can Qian’er be poisoned? I checked her pulse yesterday.” Gu Bailu felt that Xiao Xiao was talking nonsense.
Did he do it to obtain Qian’er?
If Qian’er couldn’t give birth anymore and she lost the baby, she would be useless to Lu Fenying.
