“I don’t want to, either, but Shao Zun said that this dress matches the weather today. Hehe… How doesn’t it match?”
Qian’er chuckled. “He probably doesn’t want you to attract people with what you’re wearing.”
“You’re right. I don’t even have a hairpin. What are the two of you talking about? I’m here to see the crown prince. He’s too cute.”
Bu Yaolian took the crown prince from Qian’er.
“He just finished eating and is sleeping. I’m afraid he can’t play with you,” Qian’er said in amusement.
“This is fine, he doesn’t have to play with me. I think Shao Zun will be very happy if I steal your crown prince. This is the first time I’ve seen him give someone a gift.”
Gu Bailu nodded. “Shao Zun gave you face. This jade is a rare item that can stabilize a person’s breathing. It’s good for the crown prince’s condition.”
Bu Yaolian was confused. “The crown prince is fair and plump, and so cute. I really can’t see anything wrong with his body.”
“It’s just that there’s something wrong with his heart and lungs. He’s still a child and usually just eats and sleeps, so it’s not obvious. It’ll be noticeable once he starts to crawl and walk.”
Qian’er sounded sad.
In the end, she hadn’t protected him well enough, and had caused him to be born prematurely.
Bu Yaolian said angrily, “It’s all Lu Fenying’s fault. If it wasn’t for him…”
Tears welled up in Qian’er’s eyes. It was because she was weak that things had turned out like this.
“Don’t cry. Your master is here. The crown prince will be fine.”
“Yes, I know. I just feel that I’m useless when the baby is suffering.”
The crown prince opened his eyes. Why was his mother crying? He had just fallen asleep.
He cried and reached out for his mother.
“The crown prince can’t bear to see you cry. He wants you right away.” Gu Bailu touched Qian’er’s head. “You’re already very good. You’ve raised him so well. Who doesn’t suffer in life? The crown prince won’t blame you.”
The crown prince kept crying; how could Qian’er be in the mood to continue blaming herself? She hurriedly stood up and hugged him. “It’s fine. I’m here. I’m not crying anymore, so don’t you cry either.”
The crown prince stopped crying, only letting out a sob every now and then.
“His heart and lungs aren’t good. What I’m scared of most is that he’ll run out of breath if he cries.”
Bu Yaolian looked over and saw that the crown prince was indeed in pain, as if he couldn’t breathe.
She couldn’t bear to see such a cute baby suffer. She turned around and wiped her tears.
It was all because of Lu Fenying. If he hadn’t pushed Qian’er, the baby wouldn’t have been born prematurely.
Bu Yaolian hated Lu Fenying to death.
She felt even more sorry for Qian’er. She couldn’t get rid of a man like Lu Fenying.
“Qian’er, just bear with it. When Xiao Jingyun… dies, and Mr. Xiao takes over, there will definitely be a chance to help you get rid of Lu Fenying,” Bu Yaolian couldn’t help but say.
As Qian’er coaxed the baby, she said casually, “What do you mean? Why would Mr. Xiao take over?”
“You don’t know that Mr. Xiao is a prince of Rising Clouds Empire?”
Qian’er gave an “oh.” “The emperor seems to be in good health. How will he die?”
Qian’er looked at Gu Bailu in confusion.
“Because his lifespan is coming to an end. I’ve read his fortune.”
Qian’er sat down and gently patted the little crown prince’s chest. “Master, it can’t be because of me, right? Actually, I’m doing pretty well right now. Lu Fenying doesn’t dare force me to do anything, and I can raise the crown prince. You can say that I’m useless or have no ambition, but I’m satisfied with this kind of life.”
