He didn’t have the time or energy to protect Mo Qian’er. He would rather send more people to protect Gu Bailu.

  It was best to leave Mo Qian’er to Lu Fenying.

  Gu Bailu knew that as well. She wanted to protect Mo Qian’er, but she was also afraid that she wouldn’t be able to do so. Now that she had caused Qian’er to lose the baby, she didn’t want anything to happen to her.

  Lu Fenying was the person most likely to protect her.

  But would Mr. Xiao go to Heavenly Wind Empire with Qian’er? Would Lu Fenying be willing?

  Gu Bailu went to see Lu Fenying again. “It’s fine if you want to take Qian’er back. Take Mr. Xiao with you.”


  Lu Fenying looked at her as if she were a monster. “Is your head full of water?”


  Gu Bailu sat down. “You and I both know very well what it’s like for the baby in your hands. Although it can help you keep the throne, it’s not your biological child. Do you want to give your throne to a stranger who isn’t related to you by blood? Only after Qian’er is cured can you have your own child.”


  Lu Fenying looked at her coldly. “You still dare bring this up with me? The child wouldn’t be dead if it wasn’t for you!”


  Gu Bailu was upset. Yes, it was all her fault.

  The Heavenly Palace wanted to deal with Gu Bailu, and Qian’er had been implicated because of her.

  “That’s right. Qian’er losing the baby may have something to do with me, but isn’t the reason her body was damaged because of your jealous rage?”


  No matter how much Gu Bailu was to be blamed, she was still better than Lu Fenying.

  Lu Fenying was the only person who couldn’t say anything.

  What right did he have to teach her a lesson?

  Lu Fenying frowned. “If it wasn’t for you, she wouldn’t be weak enough to be hurt from being pushed.”


  Gu Bailu sneered. “Everybody knows that a pregnant woman has to be treated with care; she has to be careful not to slip and fall even when she’s walking. You, on the other hand, threw her to the side, and now you’re saying that you didn’t know the push would hurt her? Are you blaming the pregnant woman for being weak?”


  Lu Fenying lowered his eyes and pursed his lips. He had no confidence in objecting to what Gu Bailu said.

  Indeed, he held a great deal of the blame for the loss of the baby.

  Seeing that he at least knew that he was wrong, Gu Bailu said, “Mr. Xiao is only going to Heavenly Wind Empire to treat her. What are you scared of? Are you scared that he’ll steal Qian’er away? Does Your Highness have that little self-confidence?”


  Lu Fenying looked at her coldly. “Why should I be scared? Xiao Xiao is nothing.”


  “You’re scared that Mo Qian’er will fall in love with him during the treatment.” Gu Bailu hit the nail on the head.

  Lu Fenying snorted. “Don’t goad me. It’s useless.”


  “I don’t think so. You’re clearly scared.” Gu Bailu chuckled.

  “I’m not scared. Get out. I’m going to rest.” Lu Fenying hurried her out with a cold face.

  Gu Bailu pouted. “It seems that you don’t want Qian’er to give you children anymore.”


  “There are so many doctors in the world. Xiao Xiao isn’t the only useful one.”


  “There are so many doctors in the world, but Xiao Xiao is the best one.”


  Lu Fenying said coldly, “Then it’s because you’re useless and can’t find someone better.”


  The negotiation between Gu Bailu and Lu Fenying failed. In the end, Lu Fenying didn’t allow Xiao Xiao to return to Heavenly Wind Empire with him.

  But while Xiao Xiao had recovered physically, his spiritual power had yet to recover, and he couldn’t refine pills; he would be useless even if he went to Heavenly Wind Empire with them.
