Seeing Gu Bailu looking at him suspiciously, Xiao Xiao pulled a long face. “If I really wanted to kill her baby, I wouldn’t have told you before that she needed the Dragon Spirit Blood.”
It had nothing to do with him if something happened to the baby.
Gu Bailu actually doubted him.
“How can you hurt someone you love?”
Gu Bailu calmed down at Xiao Xiao’s words. Yes, it couldn’t be Xiao Xiao.
He had had plenty of opportunities.
He could even have done it without anyone knowing.
“Then why…” Gu Bailu rushed out before she even finished speaking. “Ye Ying, find the prince, and have someone inform the crown prince of Heavenly Wind Empire.”
Something had happened to Qian’er when she was under such tight protection. They had to find out what happened.
She calmed down halfway through her run, and waited for Xiao Xiao.
When Xiao Xiao caught up with her, she asked calmly, “Is it completely hopeless for the baby?”
“There’s already no pulse. Whether it can be saved or not, I won’t know until I touch her belly, but there’s less than a ten percent chance of success.”
Gu Bailu felt even colder. She subconsciously touched her abdomen.
She had almost lost her baby, too. She knew very well the pain of losing the baby in the womb.
“You head over to Qian’er first. I’m going to get something.”
Gu Bailu returned to the secret chamber in Prince Zi’s house and took out the Sky Splitting Mirror.
Whatever state the baby was in, she had to give it a try.
Perhaps there was still hope.
However, she knew that it was almost impossible for the six-month-old baby to survive even if they took it out.
After Xiao Xiao left, Qian’er lay on the bed nervously and stroked her belly.
You’ll be fine, child. After everything you’ve been through, you won’t leave me in such a cruel way.
Lu Fenying was the first to arrive after receiving the news. Qian’er’s eyes blurred with tears when she saw him rush in.
Her sense of foreboding grew stronger.
“Your Highness, is there something wrong with the baby?”
Lu Fenying stood by the bed and clenched his fists when he saw how weak she was.
He didn’t know what to say. This was his first and possibly last child.
But now, he couldn’t save it.
If Mo Qian’er could no longer have children, would she be able to endure?
Lu Fenying sat down and held her hand. “It’s fine. The baby is fine. Why would there be a problem?”
Mo Qian’er calmed down. Lu Fenying was a proud man who never lied.
Because for him, there was nobody worth lying to.
“Then why are you here?”
“Why? You don’t want me to come? You want to be alone with that Xiao guy?” Lu Fenying pulled a long face.
“No, no.” Mo Qian’er shook her head, causing the tears to fall from her eyes.
Frustrated, Lu Fenying pulled her upright and wiped her tears with his sleeve. “What’s there to cry about? You look hideous.”
Mo Qian’er immediately stopped crying.
She had never cried before, no matter how much Lu Fenying tortured her.
It wasn’t because she was strong, but because she had already cried herself dry after Lu Fenying rescued her from the pond that year.
Back then, he had said in extreme frustration, “Stop crying. You look awful when you cry.”
When she started serving him after that, she indeed had never cried again.
She knew that even if she cried, he wouldn’t be softhearted.
Secondly, she didn’t want him to think that she was ugly.
But now that she had the courage to cry in front of him, she probably had let go.
She was neither happy nor sad because of him.
