Chapter 773 - The Childs Ghost (1/2)

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 pa.s.sed 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?”
