Chapter 599 - Lost Gamble (1/2)

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 a.s.sure 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. n.o.body can pull the baby’s soul out as long as you’re inside.”

She refused to believe that a grand pract.i.tioner 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.
