Lu Fenying didn’t say anything as he sat there.
Gu Bailu looked at him again. His eyes were closed, as if he was asleep.
Holding the baby in her arms, Gu Bailu listened to the ragged breathing and felt awful.
Xiao Xiao soon arrived and examined the baby. “He fell sick in the womb, and will always be frail.”
“Even you can’t nurse him back to health?”
“The baby is still too small to take medicine. We have to wait until he’s older.”
“What do we do now? He seems to be having trouble breathing.”
Mo Qian’er would be worried to death for a baby like this.
“He’ll be a lot better after drinking Miss Qian’er’s blood. Don’t worry.”
“No way, hasn’t Qian’er been poisoned?”
“I’ve already neutralized the poison. Also, it doesn’t pose much of a threat for a baby that has already been born.”
Gu Bailu looked at Xiao Xiao and asked, “Is there any way to check if he has been poisoned?”
Xiao Xiao said solemnly, “Princess, don’t worry about Extravagance. You have another problem that you need to solve.”
Gu Bailu’s eyes dimmed. She didn’t have much time left.
She was doing fine. Would the pill really kill her?
“Will I really die?”
“Absolutely. Don’t trust to luck. That pill of mine will…”
“Xiao Xiao, what nonsense are you spouting?” Feng Qingtian’s voice rang out coldly.
Xiao Xiao stopped talking and stood up to collect Dragon Spirit Blood from Mo Qian’er.
Gu Bailu looked at Feng Qingtian suspiciously. “Why didn’t you let him finish?”
“He’s bluffing. Don’t worry. I’ll find a solution,” Feng Qingtian comforted her.
But his expression was awful.
Damn Xiao Xiao. Why couldn’t he say a few words to ease her heart? Was there any point in scaring her?
He might as well figure out a solution.
Of course, Gu Bailu knew that Xiao Xiao wasn’t scaring her on purpose. It was likely that the pill really would kill her.
But she wasn’t scared. Feng Qingtian wouldn’t watch her die.
He just didn’t want her to be scared.
Feng Qingtian looked at the baby. “Is this the baby?”
Gu Bailu nodded. “He’s less than a month old, and very weak.”
“Xiao Xiao is a great doctor. Don’t be scared.”
It was so noisy in the room, but Lu Fenying didn’t wake up. Who knew if he was just taking a nap or if he was really asleep.
After the baby drank the Dragon Spirit Blood, his breathing settled down, and he peed.
Xiao Xiao rolled his eyes. “I’m going to change my clothes. Make sure that he doesn’t catch a cold. It’s best if he stays in the room with the stove. The baby is too weak. You have to be careful with him.”
Gu Bailu hurried to summon the wet nurse who was on standby.
The wet nurse was also part of the Ye family. She had three children and was pregnant again, so Gu Bailu had her take care of Qian’er’s baby for the time being.
After all, this was a premature baby, which required a meticulous and experienced wet nurse.
The wet nurse coaxed the baby for a while, and he unexpectedly opened his eyes, which were full of confusion.
Seeing this, Gu Bailu couldn’t help but cry when she thought of the dead baby.
Feng Qingtian hugged her and said, “Alright, alright. Don’t be sad. This is him.”
Gu Bailu thought of her own baby again. No matter what, she couldn’t let anyone hurt him.
Bai Yunyi knew that Gu Bailu had returned. He wanted to see her, yet didn’t dare to.
He went to Prince Zi’s house every day, but didn’t dare knock on the door.
