“Whatever you do, you must save the baby!” Feng Qingtian grabbed Mr. Xiao by the collar, fierce killing intent in his long eyes.

  Mr. Xiao said, as lightly as before, “Like I said, there’s only a 10% chance, which will be zero if you keep threatening me and wasting my time.”

  Feng Qingtian let go of him and shouted, “Go!”

  At the door, Mr. Xiao paused before he turned around. “If she’s sacrificed, the baby’s chance of survival will be 20% higher. Would you like that?”

  Feng Qingtian lashed out with his fist and shouted, “Get lost!”

  Mr. Xiao was flung out into the yard. He smiled and went to prepare the herbs.

  Qian’er knelt by the door, not daring to make a sound.

  How did this happen? Miscarriage? She never planned to hurt Gu Bailu.

  She would never hurt her.

  Feng Qingtian sat on the floor next to the bed and stared silently at Gu Bailu, who had needles all over her.

  He was useless. As mighty as his real, spiritual power was, he never protected her well.

  Now, in his own house, she had been hurt again.

  Feng Qingtian stroked her face, knowing how devastated she would be if she lost the baby.

  She hadn’t been in the best mood recently, and it would only be worse if the baby died.

  Although they had evaded divine retribution, he knew that the punishment from the heavens had yet to end.

  He was so naive to think that everything would be fine after he fooled the divine retribution.

  They were human beings, and the heavens could change their fates at will!

  Rage surged in Feng Qingtian’s heart. People thought that he was strong, but he knew that he was too weak.

  If he hadn’t absorbed the ball of memories, none of this would’ve happened.

  He shouldn’t have absorbed it.

  He should’ve waited until all the pieces of the Sky Splitting Mirror had been gathered together.

  He shouldn’t have been with her so early. The tragedy of their previous life would only happen again when he couldn’t protect her.

  Feng Qingtian was full of regret and felt helpless. He didn’t know what to do.

  He couldn’t bear to let go of Gu Bailu, but if he didn’t, she would be in danger.

  Feng Qingtian simply sat in silence, and nobody in the room dared to say anything. They simply waited for him to speak.

  Ye Ying, Ye Hua and Qian’er were all waiting for his pronouncement that would decide their fates.

  Feng Qingtian, on the other hand, was waiting on the fates of his woman and baby.

  He couldn’t care less about other people’s fates at that moment.

  Ah Luo remained silent. She couldn’t figure out how anything could have happened to her lady when she went out to dispose of the questionable tea.

  She hadn’t protected her lady well. She decided to punish herself by not having meat for three days.

  Ah Luo got up and went to check Mr. Xiao’s progress.

  But to her surprise, Mr. Xiao wasn’t making pills at all, but was contentedly playing chess on his own.

  Ah Luo barged in and swept the chess pieces off the board. “You said that you would be making pills!”

  Mr. Xiao looked at her calmly and took out another set of chess pieces. “The pill is being made. I don’t have to watch over the process the whole time. However…… Ah Luo, let me ask you: If the baby lives, your lady will die. Which result would you prefer?”

  “My lady will not die, and neither will her baby,” said Ah Luo firmly.

  The look on her face clearly implied that she would punch Mr. Xiao if he said anything ominous.

  Mr. Xiao tapped her head and said, “I’m only putting forward a possibility……”


  493 Your Lady Will Certainly Die If the Baby Lives

  “That’s not a possibility.” Ah Luo stubbornly refused to accept it.

  “I can tell you that I’m confident that I can save the baby. I lied to Prince Zi. But if the baby is saved, your lady will die for sure when the baby is born.”

  “I won’t hear it. I want both my lady and the baby to live.” Ah Luo covered her ears, as if she wouldn’t hear another word from Mr. Xiao.

  “What an obstinate kid. What am I going to do with you?”

  Mr. Xiao stood up and checked the furnace. He then took out the medicinal pill that was inside and placed it in a black box. “Take this. Don’t forget: while the baby will live after your lady takes the pill, she will die for sure after labor.”

  Ah Luo accepted the pill and rushed to Gu Bailu’s room.

  Mr. Xiao’s expression was indecipherable as he watched her run off.

  He had reminded them in every way he could; he couldn’t be blamed if anything happened.

  Ah Luo gave the pill to Feng Qingtian and said, “My lord, here’s the pill.”

  Feng Qingtian picked up the pill and asked, “Why isn’t Mr. Xiao here?”

  “He said that my lady will die after labor if she takes this pill. I don’t believe it. My lady won’t die. Just give it to her,” Ah Luo firmly urged Feng Qingtian.

  Feng Qingtian stared at her for a long time, before he asked, “Are you sure?”

  “My lady won’t die. Just hurry up.”

  Holding the pill in his hand, Feng Qingtian couldn’t make up his mind about feeding it to Gu Bailu.

  Since Mr. Xiao was so certain, this pill definitely had side effects.

  Between the baby and Gu Bailu, Feng Qingtian would choose Gu Bailu without any hesitation.

  He put the pill in the box and said, “I’ll give it to her later. You get out first.”

  Looking at the pill in the box, Ah Luo demanded childishly, “Why won’t you give it to her? My lady is going to lose the baby.”

  “No, it’s fine. Even if it’s gone, we can still create another one.”

  He signaled to Ye Ying, who took Ah Luo away.

  Feng Qingtian put the box next to Gu Bailu’s pillow and kissed her. “Wake up. Let’s discuss if we should have this baby.”

  Gu Bailu seemed to have heard him. Her long eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes. “Honey……”

  Feng Qingtian grabbed her hand and said, “I’m right here. How do you feel?”

  “What happened to me? The world was spinning all of a sudden.” Gu Bailu was still dizzy, but she was awake.

  “You fainted.” Feng Qingtian stroked her hair and said, “It was my fault. I didn’t protect you well.”

  “How did I faint? My body has always been fine.” Gu Bailu was confused.

  It couldn’t have been because of Qian’er’s Dragon Spirit Blood. She had personally watched Qian’er cut her neck and pour her the blood.

  “I haven’t investigated it yet, but somebody must be behind all this. Everything is fine now, except that the baby……” Feng Qingtian felt Gu Bailu clutch his hand as she asked anxiously, “What about the baby? Is it gone?”

  Feng Qingtian hurriedly calmed her down. “Don’t get excited, lie down.”

  “What happened to the baby?”

  Gu Bailu reached out to touch her belly, only to find that it was full of silver needles. She must’ve almost died just now.

  Why else would there be so many silver needles in her?

  “You’ll lose the baby if you don’t take the pill within four hours.” Feng Qingtian clenched his fists, unwilling to say the rest out loud.

  It made him feel more frustrated than ever before.

  He finally realized how important the power which he had given up was.
