Feng Qingtian scowled. “Then get the doctor here.”

The doctor soon arrived.

He felt Gu Bailu’s pulse, then said solemnly, “Your Highness, you’re very weak. You have to be careful. Your stomach hurts because you ate something dirty. You’ll be fine after taking two of my pills.”

Gu Bailu was very weak since the baby sucked her dry every day.

If there was no antidote, she would turn into a dry, empty corpse once the baby was born.

Feng Qingtian nodded. “That’s good. Hurry up and give her the pills.”

The doctor took out two pills and gave them to Gu Bailu, who drew a rune on his palm.

The doctor, on the other hand, was completely unaware.

Gu Bailu, however, stopped him. “I don’t dare take your pills casually. Bai Wuxin is from Rising Clouds Empire. Let him see if there’s anything wrong with the pills. I’ll only take them if he promises that it’s fine.”

The doctor didn’t look too happy because of her doubts. “Princess, how would I dare give you problematic pills?”

“Who knows? You don’t look like a kind person.”

The doctor’s face turned ugly and ashen at Gu Bailu’s blunt words.

Holding a pill, the doctor stood up and gave it to Bai Wuxin. “Please check if there’s anything wrong with this pill. I had good intentions, but am being doubted like this.”

Bai Wuxin didn’t know what Gu Bailu was up to, but he still sniffed the pill. “I’m sure it’s fine.”

The doctor sniffed. “Princess Zi, did you hear that?”

He was an imperial doctor with the palace, and had only joined this team because Princess Zi was pregnant.

He didn’t expect to be doubted. He was furious, but didn’t dare say anything.

“Then bring it over.” Gu Bailu waved at him.

The doctor wanted to take the pill from Bai Wuxin, but for some reason, he slapped Bai Wuxin.

Bai Wuxin had never expected the doctor to actually raise a hand to him. He didn’t react to the slap, thinking it was nothing, but his entire body suddenly felt numb.

By the time he realized that Gu Bailu had tricked him, Feng Qingtian had already knocked him out.

Gu Bailu gave a victory sign. “Done.”

“Kill him. Don’t give him a chance to report in.” Feng Qingtian gave him to Ye Qi, then hugged Gu Bailu. “Don’t scare me with this method again.”

Gu Bailu chuckled. “Got it. Let’s hurry back to the palace. Xiao Jingyun and the Archfiend are probably already there.”

After being delayed by Bai Wuxin for so long, it was already night by the time they returned to the imperial palace.

Gu Bailu took out a few teleportation runes and threw them out. Her eyes widened. “What’s going on? My teleportation points have been destroyed.”

“Xiao Jingyun knows you can teleport. He must’ve searched the palace.”

“But all the locations were hidden!”

“Don’t forget that they have a Grand Tutor who can refine supreme pills. He can also capture souls.”

Gu Bailu had really forgotten about him, because he had never shown his face.

The number of Soul Collectors who could capture souls on the entire continent could be counted on two hands, so this Grand Tutor was truly formidable.
