Chapter 769: How Did Something Happen to the Baby?
Xiao Xiao stood in the courtyard outside. He knew that Lu Fenying was here, but he didn’t want to go in.
What was he going to say? Tell Miss Qian’er, The baby is dead, and you can no longer have kids?
You’re no longer useful to that man?
But he knew that a possessive man like Lu Fenying wouldn’t let go of her or give her to someone else just because she was worthless.
If something was worthless, yet you didn’t want anyone else to touch it, then it could only be destroyed.
When Gu Bailu arrived, she saw Xiao Xiao looking at the sky with a sorrowful face, as if the baby was his own.
“Why are you still standing here? Go in and save her.” Gu Bailu pulled him inside.
Seeing them come in, Lu Fenying gave Gu Bailu a warning look.
Mo Qian’er panicked again when she saw that Gu Bailu was here. Why had Xiao Xiao brought Lu Fenying and her master here?
He wouldn’t have gone to them if there wasn’t a problem.
“Master, is there something wrong with my body?” Mo Qian’er grabbed her hand and asked fearfully.
Gu Bailu stroked her head. “There are indeed some issues. The royal doctor said before that your body isn’t in good shape. Mr. Xiao is sure that the root of the problem has been removed, so he wants to treat you now.”
“What... What will happen? Will the baby be affected?” Mo Qian’er was relieved. At least, it didn’t have to do with the baby.
“No, the baby is very healthy. Let Mr. Xiao help you with the acupuncture. We have to treat you quickly.”
Gu Bailu comforted her.
Mo Qian’er nodded obediently and closed her eyes.
Xiao Xiao went forward and took out silver needles from his medical box. Mo Qian’er soon fell asleep.
Done with the needles, Xiao Xiao wiped his hands with a white handkerchief and lifted the blanket.
However, a hand grabbed her wrist. “What are you doing?”
“Your Highness, don’t make trouble. Right now, we have to confirm if there’s still hope for the baby,” said Xiao Xiao calmly.
Gu Bailu pulled Lu Fenying away. “Is this the time to argue? He’s trying to save your child.”
Lu Fenying could only move to the side furiously, his face like stone.
“I need to touch her belly to know the baby’s exact condition,” Xiao Xiao said.
After all, this was different from just lifting the blanket. If he touched Qian’er’s belly, it would affect her reputation.
Lu Fenying was her master, so Xiao Xiao had to let him know.
“What? Don’t push your luck.”
Lu Fenying immediately lost his temper.
Gu Bailu frowned, too. In these olden times, a woman’s reputation would be ruined if a man touched her belly, which was considered a private place on her body.
Qian’er probably wouldn’t agree if she knew.
Besides, there was Lu Fenying. He would never allow that to happen.
“I’ll do it. I know medicine too. Tell me how to confirm the situation,” suggested Gu Bailu.
Lu Fenying finally relaxed.
Xiao Xiao nodded as well.
Gu Bailu had been holding the hot water all this time, so her hands were warm.
Xiao Xiao taught her how to touch Mo Qian’er’s belly to determine if the baby would move inside.
Gu Bailu felt for a long time, but nothing happened.
A six-month-old baby should move when stroked like this.
Gu Bailu’s heart turned cold.
Xiao Xiao sighed heavily. “The baby is already dead. We have to get it out immediately, or even Miss Qian’er will be in danger.”
“Okay. Whatever the case, let’s do a C-section first.”
Lu Fenying roared from the side, “What are you talking about? How did something happen to the baby?”
