C33 (1/2)

Out of curiosity, she moved quietly to the side of the door and peered through the lacquered red door. He saw a beautiful lady sitting in the courtyard. She was dressed in plain clothes, and her hair, which was like Mo Liang's, was somewhat disheveled as it draped over her shoulders. In his arms, there was a baby patting him gently. For some reason, the baby was crying non-stop. Its voice was hoarse and it sounded like it was going to die soon.

Lin Mu Fan's mother's instincts exploded at this moment. She pushed open the wooden door and walked in. Standing in front of the girl, she anxiously asked, ”What happened to the child?”

The simple clothed girl was startled, raising her head to look at him in surprise, she asked warily, ”Who are you? ”Why is it here?”

”Let's not worry about who I am for now, let me have a look at the child.” Lin Mufan placed the Boss on a stone chair and held the child in the woman's arms. He discovered that the little fellow's face was abnormally red. He really did have a fever and anxiously said, ”The child has a fever. We have to call the imperial physician.”

The woman smiled bitterly and said, ”I thought I knew my child had a fever, but what right do I have to call an imperial physician?” In this cold palace, who wasn't waiting for death? Children are the same! ”

”How could he not have children of his own?” Lin Mu Fan asked in astonishment.

”Because the child had an unlucky mother like me. She was abandoned from the moment she was born.”

”This is his flesh and blood! I will settle the score with him! ” It was only natural and proper that Long Zhaoting didn't recognize her child, because her BOSS really did come for some baffling reason. But how could he not recognize how innocent this poor little baby was? How could he have such a cold-blooded father?

”Don't!” The woman hurriedly stopped her, got up, took the baby from her arms, and said sorrowfully, ”The Emperor gave me the title of consort, but it was on a whim, so he didn't have any feelings for me. Naturally, she will not love my child, let alone a frail and sickly little princess. ”

”What's wrong with the little princess? Isn't that also his dragon skin and bones? ”

”Empress Dowager Xie's good intentions, but I've already accepted it. I hope that you won't keep this matter at heart.” Otherwise, the Emperor would hate us even more. ” The girl pleaded. Her gloomy eyes swept across Lin Mofan's face and landed on the Boss' body. She carefully examined it.

”Alright, I won't say anything. Let's first treat the little princess' illness. I'll get you some medicine. Wait here. ” After Lin Mu Fan finished speaking, he picked up the Boss and quickly left.

After watching Lin Mofan and the Boss leave, the corners of Rong Fei's mouth slightly curled up as she revealed a faint smile.

A girl with disheveled hair walked out of the abandoned house and walked in front of Rong Fei while chuckling. Concubine Rong looked at her with a face full of annoyance, saying, ”Don't show that kind of smile in front of me, I'll feel disgusted.”

”Sister Rong, do you believe me now? ”The one in her arms isn't a pet dog at all. It's the trackless eldest son of the Emperor, the son the Emperor created with the same impression as the Emperor. It can't be fake, there's a high chance that he'll become the crown prince in the future.” The woman smiled as her points were filled with pride.

”I saw it. Go back.” Rong Fei took a glance outside the courtyard, as if she was afraid that someone would see her, and urged her on.

The woman's face fell as she pleaded, ”If Sister Rong is lucky enough to go out in the future, do you remember to bring your little sister out of this cold palace? My sister really won't be able to stay any longer. ”

”Got it. Hurry up and go, don't let others see you here.” Concubine Rong waved her hand at her in annoyance.

”Little darling, everything we experienced today was given to us by Mu Fei. Mufei will definitely repay this hatred ruthlessly, but we'll probably have to let you down.”

The baby in his arms cried even louder, as if he could understand the human language, and his nose and eyes were squeezed together. Looking at her, one would feel heartache, but Rong Fei didn't show any signs of being loyal, allowing her to wail as she pleased.

Lin Mofan picked some herbs from the yard to use to treat the cold. After cooking them, he rushed to the side yard. Rongfei was still sitting on the stone chair, holding the crying baby in a daze.

”Here, quickly feed the medicine to the child.” Lin Mu Fan carefully handed the bowl over.

Imperial Concubine Rong looked at the medicine bowl before shaking her head with a bitter smile, ”The little princess' illness isn't something that can be cured in a day or two by drinking medicine. Imperial Concubine Rong appreciates this kindness. Imperial Concubine, it's better for you to bring the medicine back.”

Naturally, Lin Mofan would not listen to her. He comforted her, ”We have to give it a try. Maybe it will work?”

Consort Rong hesitated for a moment, then carefully took the medicine bowl and placed it into the baby's mouth. As the baby drank, he coughed until he was out of breath. Looking at her pitiful appearance, Lin Mofan's heart started to ache. A child without her father's love was truly pitiful!

However, the medicine that Lin Mofan sent over was very effective. The baby's fever withdrew shamelessly and Rong Fei was ecstatic. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Lin Mufan in gratitude, tears of joy uncontrollably flowing down his face.

”Alright, carry the child in and rest. I will continue sending medicine over.” Lin Mufan said as he carried the little baby that was lying on the side of the bed and prepared to leave.

”Thank you, esteemed Empress.” Rao Fei stood up and looked at the Boss. Her tears flowed as she smiled, ”This puppy is so cute. Can I hug it?”
