“She has Dragon Spirit Blood. The baby can be saved.”
Gu Bailu fed the pill made from the Dragon Spirit Blood to Mo Qian’er, who couldn’t even speak.
The imperial doctor quickly arrived and carefully examined Qian’er’s pulse. In the end, he said, “Thankfully, the baby is strong, but… I’m afraid… I’m afraid that this young lady won’t be able to bear any more children after this.”
“What do you mean? The baby’s fine. How can there be something wrong with her?”
“The baby is a miracle. Given this sort of injury, the young lady should’ve died…”
Gu Bailu sat by the bed in a daze and looked at Mo Qian’er, who had passed out.
How was she going to tell her that this would be her first and last child?
Lu Fenying was carried out of the dark yard. He was fine on the whole, and had only passed out because of the Gu bug. He quickly regained consciousness after a while.
“Your Highness, are you alright?” Red Wolf asked worriedly.
Lu Fenying sat up. “Where’s Mo Qian’er? Is Xiao Xiao dead? What happened to me?”
“You probably passed out from fury.”
Red Wolf didn’t know why his master suddenly passed out. He hadn’t known what to do back then.
It was as if the crown prince had lost his mind, which scared him.
Lu Fenying got off the bed and glared at him. “Is Xiao Xiao still alive?”
Red Wolf said carefully, “No, but he’s on his last breath.”
“I must kill him.” Lu Fenying rushed out, only to see a row of guards outside.
The one standing in the front said, “Your Highness, you’re not well. You need to rest in bed.”
Lu Fenying sneered. “You dare order me around?”
“Your Highness, please don’t make a fuss now. You’ve already severely injured Miss Qian’er. She may lose the baby. Also, the imperial doctor said that she won’t be able to have children again…”
Before he could finish, Lu Fenying grabbed his neck. “What did you say? How can Mo Qian’er no longer be able to have children? If you dare speak nonsense, I’ll kill you.”
With that, he ruthlessly broke the guard’s neck.
Red Wolf followed him and said, “Your Highness, he’s not speaking nonsense. You should check on Miss Qian’er.”
Lu Fenying had already run off to the northern courtyard.
The house was full of maids. The whole yard looked busy.
Lu Fenying rushed inside. “How’s Mo Qian’er?”
Gu Bailu was blaming herself as she sat dejectedly in a chair. Why was it always like this? It was a victory that came at a heavy price.
Why couldn’t she think of a better way to help Qian’er?
As a woman, she knew too well how pitiful it was for a woman to be infertile.
Qian’er might not be willing to give birth to Lu Fenying’s baby.
But whether or not she herself wanted to have kids was another matter.
Gu Bailu glanced at Lu Fenying coldly. “What’s the point of asking now? You did this – are you happy now?”
She had predicted that Lu Fenying would be angry and would try to kill Xiao Xiao, but she didn’t expect him to also show no mercy to Qian’er, who was pregnant.
Qian’er was carrying his only child, and she was the only one who could give him children.
Lu Fenying didn’t say anything. He walked over to the bed and looked at Mo Qian’er, who was still covered in silver needles. Her face, which had been plump before, was now skin and bones.
He clenched his fists and asked, “What’s her condition now?”
“The baby in her belly is your only child. There can never be another.”
