She and Qian’er were often together. If Qian’er had been poisoned, Gu Bailu might have been too.
Maybe it hadn’t flared up yet because she was in good shape.
However… this poison couldn’t be detected. Gu Bailu was so angry that she wanted to slap the table.
“Also… the crown prince of Heavenly Wind Empire hasn’t returned yet,” Ye Ying added.
Gu Bailu nodded. That wasn’t an easy matter to accomplish; it was within her expectations that Lu Fenying wouldn’t be back so soon.
“Bring my cloak. I’ll go check on Qian’er.”
On her way to the northern courtyard, Gu Bailu ran into Lu Fenying, who was wrapped in a cloak.
Gu Bailu looked at him. “Is it done?”
“How’s Mo Qian’er?” Lu Fenying asked expressionlessly.
“She hasn’t woken up. How’s the baby?”
Lu Fenying didn’t say anything and carried something with him to the northern courtyard.
Gu Bailu followed him.
Only after they entered the room and had the servants leave did Lu Fenying say, “He’s not even a month old. The doctor said that he can’t live and the family was planning to throw him away.”
Lu Fenying lifted the cloak to reveal a baby’s face. It was red and wrinkly like an old man’s.
He was breathing heavily, and didn’t sound like a normal child.
The baby closed his eyes and didn’t cry, as if he had passed out.
“Xiao Xiao will be here soon. He should have a solution.”
Gu Bailu carefully held the baby in her arms; hopefully, he could be saved.
Lu Fenying took off his cloak, hung it up, and walked to the bed. Mo Qian’er was sound asleep.
He stretched out a hand under her nose and only took it back after he felt her warm breaths.
Rubbing his forehead, Lu Fenying asked tiredly, “Did you find anything suspicious?”
Gu Bailu shook her head. “Nothing suspicious in Prince Zi’s house for now.”
She told him about the poison used on Mo Qian’er.
Lu Fenying frowned slightly. “Extravagance? Didn’t it already disappear long ago?”
“Who knows? It could be leftovers from somewhere.”
It was possible that someone had bought it before, but hadn’t used up all of it.
“No, it can’t be leftovers. The condition for buying Extravagance is that you have to use all of it. The drug seller won’t sell it again until he’s sure all of the previous purchase has been used up. So, there can’t be any leftovers.”
“Has the drug maker appeared once more?” asked Gu Bailu worriedly.
How could such a person be allowed to live?
“I’ll look for the drug maker,” Lu Fenying said firmly.
He took out a bone accessory that was at his waist. There was a thumb-sized white bone on the red string.
He hung it around Mo Qian’er’s neck and tied a tight knot.
Gu Bailu asked curiously, “What’s this?”
“The baby’s soul,” Lu Fenying said expressionlessly.
Gu Bailu was shocked. “That’s not right. The baby can’t be reincarnated!”
Lu Fenying raised his head, his eyes as sharp as knives. “He’s reluctant to leave. He has to stay in this life.”
Gu Bailu was conflicted. She was a soul collector, and such ghosts couldn’t be left in this world.
This was especially true for an unborn child.
But… he was Qian’er’s baby. How could she bear to send him away?
“He’s attached to the bone. He won’t do anything rash.”
Lu Fenying stood up and sat on the couch. He rubbed his forehead again. He was very tired after doing his best to search for a suitable baby for a whole day and night.
“You should rest. Qian’er won’t wake up for a while.”
