Of course, Xiao Xiao didn’t want Qian’er to return to Heavenly Wind Empire with Lu Fenying, but he couldn’t stop them.
Qian’er didn’t know that her baby was gone. She regarded the baby which Lu Fenying brought back as a treasure. Although it was premature and the baby was weak, she didn’t despise it at all.
Lu Fenying didn’t know how long it had been since Mo Qian’er smiled like that.
When she was transferred to the main courtyard to serve him in the beginning, she had always smiled – lightly and softly, with limpid, gentle eyes; who knew when she stopped smiling.
Xiao Xiao gave Qian’er a prescription. Because he couldn’t refine pills, he could only have someone brew the medicine according to the prescription for Qian’er to take.
With Xiao Xiao’s prescription, Lu Fenying could leave without worry.
Qian’er thought that she had fallen ill because the baby was born premature, and that it would be difficult for her to conceive again.
So, she was extra careful with the baby.
The day Lu Fenying said that they were going back, Qian’er refused point blank without any hesitation. “Your Highness, the baby is premature. The wind is too cold for him and he won’t be able to take it. I’m not going back.”
Lu Fenying stared at her blankly. “Mo Qian’er, I’m ordering you, not discussing it with you.”
He couldn’t believe Mo Qian’er’s refusal. Furthermore, it wasn’t the type where she was putting up a struggle despite knowing that it was useless. but was a decisive rejection.
“Your Highness, for the baby’s sake, I won’t go back now.” Qian’er looked at him solemnly.
She didn’t use a tough tone, nor was it loud, but the words were very resolute.
“You have to go back,” Lu Fenying said impatiently.
It would be his coronation in two days, and he was still in a foreign country.
How could he tolerate it?
More importantly, Prince Zi’s residence wasn’t safe at all. If she stayed any longer, she would only be further incriminated by Gu Bailu.
He was thinking of her, but this woman didn’t appreciate it at all.
“I’m the baby’s mother now, I have the right to make any decision for him.” Mo Qian’er looked at him calmly and firmly.
Lu Fenying really just wanted to knock her out and carry her off.
But when he saw her serious expression, he felt that he couldn’t do it.
“The baby will be fine. I’ll send someone to specially protect him,” Lu Fenying suppressed his fury and said.
“It’s too far away. The baby will be affected no matter what. Your Highness, the baby is weak to begin with. I… I’m worried that he’ll leave me…” Mo Qian’er’s tears fell as she said the words.
The baby was premature and had only been in the womb for six months; usually, premature babies like these couldn’t survive.
While nobody had told her that the baby wasn’t in good shape, she held him every day and knew that he was different from other babies. His breathing was irregular and he was thin. She had to hold him carefully for fear that he would stop breathing if she used too much strength.
She knew that she had Dragon Spirit Blood, which was more effective than milk.
However, it was an undeniable fact that the baby was weak. How could she let him suffer on the journey at such a young age?
Once an illness took hold, it would persist for a lifetime.
If Lu Fenying wouldn’t care for the child, she would protect the baby to the death.
“Why are you crying? The baby is fine. I guarantee that nothing will happen to him.” Lu Fenying wiped her tears away.
She had never cried in front of him before, but she cried all the time now.
“The baby can’t suffer like this. He’s too small. Can’t you give him more time?” Qian’er pulled at Lu Fenying’s sleeve and begged.
