Chapter 599 Lost Gamble

No converted Daoist nuns were allowed to become pregnant.

Yet, not just one of them, but both of them were carrying babies!

That was a slap to his face, and he had to get a doctor for them?

It would be most humiliating for the crown prince if other people found out.

“I assure you that you will regret it for the rest of your life if anything happens to the baby. That’s all I can say.” Gu Bailu sat next to the bed and held Qian’er’s hand.

Qian’er’s eyes were hollow, and she had lost the will to live.

Gu Bailu didn’t know how to comfort her anymore. Qian’er had held on until the doctor arrived, only to learn that her baby couldn’t be saved.

Gu Bailu understood her too well. When something had happened to her own baby before, she had been willing to risk her own life in order to save it.

The baby was still in her womb and she had never interacted with it, but she sincerely regarded it as part of her life.

If she couldn’t protect it, she would feel utterly useless.

Qian’er had already felt so inferior and full of guilt to begin with... Now that the baby couldn’t be saved, what would she do?

Gu Bailu held Qian’er’s wrist. She detected the baby’s strong pulse even if its condition was unstable. She was determined to save the baby.

Gu Bailu took off her Soul Collecting Bracelet and said to Qian’er, “You go in first. Nobody can pull the baby’s soul out as long as you’re inside.”

She refused to believe that a grand practitioner like herself couldn’t save one baby.

Qian’er’s eyes blinked. “Master, will that... really help?”

“Technically speaking, your baby can’t die as long as its soul exists. I’m very good. You should trust me.” Gu Bailu stared at her firmly.

Qian’er nodded.

Gu Bailu chanted, and the Soul Collecting Bracelet turned into a spacious golden bag that picked up Qian’er, before it returned to Gu Bailu’s wrist as a bracelet.

Everybody in the room, including the doctor, gaped when they saw that a person could actually be stored away.

There were space rings in this world, but they could only store objects.

Lu Fenying said coldly, “What did you mean earlier?”

Gu Bailu stood up and looked at him. “My meaning is clear. If anything happens to my disciple, something will happen to your woman Su Muwei.”

“You dare?!” Lu Fenying’s face was cold as his eyes shone with killing intent.

“Why wouldn’t I dare? I’m a Daoist nun who’s pregnant. What am I too scared to do? Your Highness, don’t underestimate a pregnant woman. They can do anything to protect their child. Maybe I can’t get away from you, but I’m definitely capable of killing your woman.”

Lu Fenying gazed at her grimly, wondering what abilities she had.

Right at that moment, a guard outside the room risked his life to report, “Your Highness, an important guest wishes to meet you right away – he says it’s an urgent matter.”

Gu Bailu yelled, “Are you blind? A person’s life is in danger here. This is no time for a guest.”

“Your Highness, I’m afraid you have to meet him,” the guard stepped forward and said carefully.

Gu Bailu sat down. “Your Highness, I don’t care who you meet, but I want to see a royal doctor right now.”

Lu Fenying glanced at her. “Let’s see what you can do.”

He strode off after saying that.

Gu Bailu’s face was pale with anger. Lu Fenying was truly ruthless.

If he really cherished Su Muwei as much as the rumors said, why would he dare risk her life?

She had provoked Lu Fenying partly to see how much he loved Su Muwei.
