In the three countries, the position of crown prince was conferred once it was confirmed that they had immense spiritual power. Hence, young princes who had yet to grow up usually wouldn’t be conferred the title of crown prince.
Lu Fenying had worked hard to be conferred as crown prince at the age of twenty.
Although Feng Qingtian had always been known as the future emperor, that was just everybody’s belief; the real crown prince was also conferred the title when he was twenty years old.
But now, Lu Fenying had already bestowed the title of crown prince on the baby when he was still so young, which cut off the road for the other noble families.
On any other day, Mo Qian’er would’ve been moved to tears.
However, he was willing to risk the child in returning to Heavenly Wind Empire, and he wasn’t willing to let them stay in Southern Glory Empire. Clearly, he didn’t care about the baby. Mo Qian’er couldn’t understand Lu Fenying, so she just stopped looking and closed her eyes to sleep.
“What? Are you not going to thank me for giving him the title?” A cold voice rang out. Mo Qian’er opened her eyes and was about to get up to thank him.
“Lie down. Who told you to get up?”
“Oh… but Your Highness said that we have to kneel to show our sincerity.”
Mo Qian’er was sincere in kneeling his time. Whatever he was thinking, for him to bestow such a weak child this title was worth kneeling for.
“Do I need you to kneel?” Lu Fenying pulled a long face and looked at the baby in his arms. He put him in the wet nurse’s arms and sat next to Mo Qian’er on the couch, holding her in his arms and resting her head on his lap.
Mo Qian’er didn’t look too good. It was true that Lu Fenying didn’t need her to kneel, because her knees were his. It was easy for him to make her kneel whenever he wanted.
“Then how do you want me to thank you?” She wasn’t in good condition. She couldn’t even carry the baby, let alone serve him.
Lu Fenying stroked her hair. “You owe me one. Focus on sleeping.” Mo Qian’er was confused. Didn’t you wake me up to thank you?
I was doing my best to sleep, alright?
…
After Qian’er left and Bu Yaolian was sent to the Earthly Residence, Gu Bailu felt that the house was empty.
It was going to be the new year soon. She thought it would be lively on New Year’s Eve, but everyone left.
Gu Bailu didn’t dare leave the house, fearing that Daji, who had become an immortal after a thousand years, would cause her trouble.
She had visited Yan Anchun twice. She was recovering well, except for the burn marks on her skin.
Gu Bailu gave her the last bottle of Dragon Spirit Blood Pills.
Yan Anchun had been recovering well, but something happened one day. After taking the pill, she fell unconscious and felt hot all over.
“Mr. Xiao, what’s going on? Why is she suddenly unconscious?”
Xiao Xiao shook his head. “She’s clearly suffering a backlash. It might be because a certain person has been injured.”
He really couldn’t solve this problem.
His own body had yet to recover and he didn’t have the energy to take care of Yan Anchun.
“Then what should we do?”
“Ask her yourself when she wakes up. Something must’ve happened to her master.”
Gu Bailu was stunned. Something happened to Yan Anchun’s master?
Wasn’t Gu Yunjing Yan Anchun’s master? She was his shadow. If the shadow was now in a coma, that meant that the real body had been hurt.
Gu Bailu hurriedly had someone bring a basin of water over.
