“Let me repeat myself: If you’re really doing this for Mo Qian’er, you shouldn’t be thinking about how to take her away from me, but about how to get better treatment for her.”


  Lu Fenying turned around and left.

  Gu Bailu didn’t have time to react. She wanted to ask why the baby would die without Dragon Spirit Blood.

  But Lu Fenying was fast, and he soon disappeared from sight.

  Lu Fenying hadn’t wanted to leave so quickly, either. He wanted to sleep with Mo Qian’er, but his stomach was burning again.

  Damn heavy food.

  Lu Fenying tossed and turned in pain, and wasn’t in the mood at all to bully Qian’er.

  Qian’er lay in bed and thought for the whole night. This was the first time Lu Fenying said that they could talk things out.

  She had always acquiesced to his orders.

  He forced her to.

  It wasn’t that she had to absolutely leave him or the crown prince’s residence; as long as he could let her baby go to grow up healthily, she wouldn’t ask for anything else.

  She had resisted and tried her very best to escape her fate.

  In the end, she hadn’t been able to get free.

  Perhaps freedom was too extravagant a hope, so she could only settle for the next best thing.

  This way, she wouldn’t implicate anyone.

  At that thought, it was as if a boulder had been lifted from her chest, and Mo Qian’er gradually fell asleep.

  Gu Bailu discussed it with Feng Qingtian.

  “What do you think Lu Fenying meant by that?” Gu Bailu felt that Lu Fenying was implying something, but she wasn’t too sure.

  “He never planned to go back empty-handed. I’m afraid Mo Qian’er isn’t someone we can protect. Lulu, we can do whatever we can to help Mo Qian’er, but I won’t allow it to happen at the price of your safety.”


  Feng Qingtian was a man, too; how could he not know Lu Fenying’s intent?

  For him to seek out the Nether King to revive Mo Qian’er, it was clear how resolute he was.

  Feng Qingtian didn’t want to guess at someone else’s feelings, but he was well aware that Mo Qian’er was very special to Lu Fenying.

  For now, at least, Mo Qian’er was the only woman Lu Fenying had ever touched.

  Back then, when Feng Qingtian didn’t know that Gu Bailu was that person from his previous life, he had struggled, but didn’t want to let her go.

  He had probably felt the same way as Lu Fenying back then – he would risk his life against anyone who wanted to take Gu Bailu away.

  Feng Qingtian didn’t know how Lu Fenying felt about Qian’er, but he was certain that he was as obsessed as Feng Qingtian had been at that time.

  Gu Bailu nodded. “I know. I’ll be careful.”


  She could sense Lu Fenying’s possessiveness toward Qian’er, and she knew that she couldn’t fight against it now.

  She might not be able to save Qian’er from the swamp, but she should be able to help Qian’er live a little more comfortably at least.

  Nothing in this world went as planned.

  Despite their high status in their previous life, things had still ended up like this.

  The next day, as soon as Gu Bailu woke up, a butler reported, “The crown prince of Heavenly Wind Empire doesn’t seem to be feeling well. His guard requested that you take a look.”


  In the eyes of Lu Fenying and Red Wolf, Gu Bailu was still a great doctor.

  Gu Bailu smiled. “He deserves it.”


  It was probably because of the food and tea yesterday.

  “Tell him to bear with it. I’m pregnant and get up late, and I’ll only be able to go over after breakfast.” Gu Bailu sat in front of the mirror and waited for the maids to help her dress.
