Chapter 711: Leave That for Mo Qian’er
She wanted to refuse, but when she thought of Qian’er’s baby, she still needed to go over and have Lu Fenying make things clear.
When Red Wolf heard the butler’s words, his face turned cold.
The crown prince had outstanding spiritual power and health, so he rarely fell sick.
Of course, this was linked to how the crown prince’s residence took good care of him, especially when it came to food.
But what kind of treatment did he receive in Prince Zi’s residence?
The place he slept in was freezing, with cold wind blowing in from all directions. At night, the shutters banged open and shut in the wind – how could he sleep?
The lake was frozen over, so when the wind blew, it was like ice.
Heavenly Wind Empire was warmer than Southern Glory Empire to begin with, and the cold here really was a little unbearable for people like them. Although they had spiritual power to protect their bodies, they still felt a lot worse.
The cold also dampened one’s mood.
It was probably because they had to weather the cold that the people of Southern Glory Empire ate very heavy food in winter; one hot pot was enough to make them sweat and for their heads to let off steam.
It had been very hard for Red Wolf to eat last night, to say nothing of the crown prince.
The crown prince wasn’t feeling well, yet Princess Zi was still treating him like this.
Red Wolf was about to run out and make trouble, but Lu Fenying stopped him. “Red Wolf, I heard that Mr. Xiao is also in Prince Zi’s residence. Have the butler invite him over.”
Red Wolf told the butler to invite Mr. Xiao over.
The butler returned and reported this to Gu Bailu, who was eating. She remembered then that Mr. Xiao had been treating Yan Anchun all this time.
She wondered how Yan Anchun was doing.
“Invite Mr. Xiao over, but not for the crown prince. Have him go to the northern courtyard to examine Qian’er.”
Gu Bailu didn’t dare leave Lu Fenying hanging for too long, so she put on a cloak and went out after breakfast.
Gu Bailu felt that the temperature had fallen ten more degrees. The wind around her was as sharp and painful as a knife.
Recalling how Lu Fenying had once thrown Qian’er into a cold lake and thinking about where he was staying now, Gu Bailu felt relaxed.
She slowly entered the private room. Lu Fenying was lying on the bed with sweat on his forehead, and Red Wolf was carefully wiping him clean.
“Your Highness, what’s wrong? Why do you look so pale?” Gu Bailu exclaimed. “Your complexion still looked good last night. Did something happen to your body because you couldn’t bully Qian’er?”
Lu Fenying glanced at her. “My stomach hurts.”
Gu Bailu didn’t dare give him any trouble. She examined his pulse and said, “It’s nothing serious. It’s just that your stomach isn’t used to the heavy flavors in Southern Glory. I’ll call two maids over to take care of you.”
“No need.” Lu Fenying felt his stomach burn. “Give me the medicine.”
Gu Bailu took out a pill. “This is the last pill made with Dragon Spirit Blood. I really don’t want to give it to you.”
“Keep it. An ordinary pill will do. Leave that one for Mo Qian’er.” Lu Fenying was probably in extreme pain; his words were short and he even gasped for breath halfway through speaking.
Gu Bailu obediently put the pill away. Of course, she had more than one of it.
“Regular pills are much slower.” Gu Bailu fed him an ordinary pill and said, “I’ll make some pills to speed things up. I’ll have Mr. Xiao write out two prescriptions.”
