Chapter 826: He Must Have Feelings For Her
Now that she had put her feelings for Lu Fenying to rest, it was probably a good thing for her if she could live a peaceful life in the royal harem.
In the end, Qian’er wrote, “Heavenly Wind Empire will hold a ceremony to offer sacrifices to the heavens in half a month. The Sky Splitting Mirror will be used… It’s possible Lu Fenying will discover that the Sky Splitting Mirror is fake…”
Gu Bailu exclaimed, “Why do they have to use the Sky Splitting Mirror in the ceremony? No, why offer sacrifices to the heavens?! They’re nothing!”
Feng Qingtian cut a piece of pear and put it in her mouth. “What’s wrong?”
“Lu Fenying might soon discover that his piece of the Sky Splitting Mirror is fake,” said Gu Bailu worriedly.
Feng Qingtian raised an eyebrow. “Isn’t that normal? It’ll be discovered sooner or later. It doesn’t matter. We’ll just deny it.”
“We can deny it, but once Lu Fenying suspects something, he’ll bully Qian’er. Qian’er definitely won’t have a good life.”
She had wanted Qian’er to live a peaceful life.
In the end, it didn’t work.
Should she return the Sky Splitting Mirror to Lu Fenying?
“Lu Fenying’s son has already been made crown prince. He shouldn’t treat Qian’er unkindly anymore. Besides, he won’t marry. Qian’er should be safe.”
“What’s the point of having a son? That son isn’t Qian’er’s.” Gu Bailu was worried.
Feng Qingtian’s lips curved up and he comforted her. “If a man is willing to use a baby to comfort a woman, he must have feelings for her. Don’t worry.”
Gu Bailu tilted her head and looked at him. “Isn’t it because Lu Fenying himself needs an heir?”
“Silly girl, if he really wants an heir, he can easily create one. It’s easy for a man to beget an heir,” Feng Qingtian said matter-of-factly. “Besides, an heir doesn’t necessarily have to be his own son. Anyone with strong spiritual power in the family can be the heir.”
Gu Bailu thought for a moment. That made sense. Why hadn’t she thought of that before?
If Lu Fenying truly needed an heir, it didn’t have to be Qian’er to give birth to one. n.o.body knew that there was something wrong with his body and that only Qian’er could give birth to his baby.
The heir also didn’t have to be his own flesh and blood, or he wouldn’t have agreed to find another baby right after the issue with Qian’er’s labor.
If he didn’t absolutely need an heir, or one that was his own flesh and blood, but was still willing to bring a baby back, there was only one possibility: He was afraid that Qian’er would be distressed and heartbroken, so he was willing to hide it from her.
If a man could do that, he had to like her at least, if not love her.
Gu Bailu blinked at Feng Qingtian. “So, you actually don’t really need a child of heaven and earth?”
Feng Qingtian shook his head. “Of course not. Naturally I want one, since he’s our child.”
“But I’ll die if I give birth to him. You knew that all along, even in our past life.” Gu Bailu pulled a long face. She still felt uncomfortable when she thought of her previous life.
Although she had chosen to side with Feng Qingtian because of her love for him, she had also chosen to trust him.
However, it was impossible to say that there wasn’t a knot in her heart from the past.
Feng Qingtian looked at her guiltily. “I always thought that my power could save you.”
Who was Feng Qingtian? He was the Heavenly Emperor. From his memories, he was above all things. n.o.body dared to defy him. He could do whatever he wanted.
