Si Jiong rushed over, hearing these words, his eyes filled with anger and resentment,
"This traitor, I spared his life, but I didn't expect him to be just like his father! A wolf in sheep's clothing! He even wants to harm my grandson! This king will personally clean up this mess!"
"Luo Luo can no longer stay in the Western Region," Si Ye said.
"That's right. Although we temporarily repelled the invading demonic beasts this time, they definitely won't let it go. The Northern Frontier is sitting on the sidelines, watching the tigers fight, and might secretly attack at any time. Luo'er is carrying offspring, and they are the primary target. We absolutely cannot allow any accidents!" Si Jiong said to him, "Xiao Ye, you take Luo'er away from the Western Region. The Queen Mother is guarding the city, so you don't need to worry."
Si Ye nodded. As he was about to take Sang Luo away, Si Jiong called them back again, taking out a black-gold token, "This is the Bixi Order held by the clan leader. Wherever there are Bixi clan members, you can pass without obstruction. If I am no longer here in the future, you can…"
Si Ye took the token and handed it to Sang Luo, "I have no interest in being the clan leader. You should save your time and properly raise your grandson."
"Haha, that's settled then. After Luo'er gives birth to the child, you must bring them back for me to raise."
Si Jiong reluctantly saw them off, her expression suddenly changing, becoming ice-cold and stern. She called out to the shadows,
"Zhu Sui."
A handsome and tall male beastman emerged from the air, his eyebrows gentle, "A'Jiong, what do you need me for?"
"I've encountered some trouble here. Go and call Fan Si, Kui Lu, Jiang Ci… all of them over to me!"
Si Jiong also had eight beast husbands whose strength were all at the True King level or above.
They were powerful aids to her marriage alliance.
The beast husbands were kings in their own right in different places, guarding their own territories. When Si Jiong needed them, they would provide their full support.
That's why the Queen Mother was the most untouchable. The Bixi clan itself was a powerful ancient clan, and coupled with the forces of her eight husband clans, they encompassed almost half of the Western Region. The Bixi Beast King of the Southern Frontier was at the peak of the King level, about to reach the half-step Emperor level, and had never dared to easily provoke or invade the Northern Frontier. Now that his plan had been exposed, what awaited him was destined to be a bloody storm.
In less than half a day, the eight beast husbands arrived at the outer city with their troops, tens of millions of beast soldiers, in a mighty formation.
Si Jiong stood on the city gate, gazing at the distant dark clouds rolling across the sky.
"Daring to attack this old woman's territory, they really have eaten the gall of a bear and the courage of a leopard! You all follow me to defend the Northern Frontier and attack the Southern Frontier. We will definitely make those bastards come and never return!"
On the other side, Si Ye took Sang Luo to the Central Region.
The Western Region was about to erupt into a mixed war, no longer suitable for her to nurture her pregnancy.
In the years Si Ye had been away from the Western Region, he often went to the Phoenix Clan to handle errands. His relationship with the Phoenix Emperor was that of a close uncle and nephew connected by blood, as well as mutually trusting ruler and subject.
He also had his own residence in the Phoenix Plume Imperial City of the Central Region.
After thinking it over, Si Ye felt that it would be safer to take Sang Luo to the Central Region. The Central Region had been at peace for several years, and there would be no more major wars in a short period of time. He could also take care of her and the child with peace of mind.
…
Central Region, Phoenix Plume City.
Imperial Palace Study.
The smell of blood permeated the room, and fresh blood was scattered on the ground.
Another person was carried out in white cloth.
The newly arrived servants were afraid and terrified, but the servants who had served for a long time were already used to it.
The Phoenix Emperor's reputation for being cruel and bloodthirsty was not unfounded. Ever since that incident, this monarch's temperament had become even more unpredictable, biased, and tyrannical. If one accidentally angered his elusive nature, it would be a capital crime.
The servants skillfully cleaned the blood stains on the ground, replaced the incense in the hall with new ones, and burned all the memorials and books splattered with blood.
Everything was cleaned neatly and properly, without a trace of dust.
One could not tell that someone had just died.
Fei Yuan continued to review the memorials.
Someone came to report, "Your Majesty, the Little Marquis has returned."
"He left without a word last time. I thought he went to inherit the Bixi clan's family business. How does he still have the leisure to return?"
"This is unknown, but this time, the Little Marquis brought back a beautiful and young female, presumably the Little Marquis's mate."
"Oh?" Fei Yuan became a little interested. He knew what had happened in the Southern Region a few days ago. Could it be that he came to ask for reinforcements?
"The Little Marquis first took that noble female back to the Marquis's residence to rest. This is a letter that the Little Marquis asked me to give to Your Majesty."
Fei Yuan opened the letter and glanced at it. It turned out that he was bringing his mate to settle in the Central Region. Si Ye might be leaving for a period of time and asked him to help protect her.
"Isn't this another child for me to take care of?" He chuckled.
Forget it, anyway, she is my nephew's wife, so it's not unreasonable to take care of her.
"Tonight's banquet, let him bring her over."
"Yes."
The servant went to the Marquis's residence to deliver the message.
Si Ye hadn't returned to the Marquis's residence for some time. The servants in the residence were still there, cleaning it carefully every day. There was no need to clean up another room. Sang Luo directly stayed in his bedroom and slept until evening before waking up. She changed into a simple but noble dress and went to the Phoenix Emperor's Palace with Si Ye to attend the banquet, sitting in the guest seat on the right.
Many noble ministers saw that Si Ye had returned and invited him to drink, their words somewhat flattering.
There were also noble females watching, openly and secretly trying to curry favor with Sang Luo.
Sang Luo felt physically and mentally exhausted after becoming pregnant and didn't like to agree. Si Ye blocked all the drinks for her.
After the guests arrived, after half a cup of tea, the Phoenix Emperor took his seat.
"Greetings to the Phoenix Emperor."
Everyone below stood up and toasted the noble and unparalleled man on the high seat.
Sang Luo also stood up and toasted with Si Ye, glancing at the tall, handsome, and unruly man in black and gold robes on the throne.
Then, her eyes went straight, and she was amazed by the other party's handsome and unrestrained appearance. What shocked Sang Luo even more was that… wasn't this the man she had run into in the bathhouse when she first came to the Eastern Continent?
He! Is actually the Phoenix Emperor?!
The wine glass in Sang Luo's hand trembled, and the wine almost spilled out. She lowered her head like a little quail, and after drinking the wine in the glass, she quickly sat back in her seat.
Fortunately, Si Ye was tall and stood in front of her, barely able to cover half of her body.
Sang Luo still felt it wasn't enough, and pulled his arm, blocking her a little more.
"…"
Her dodging posture made Fei Yuan feel something, and he glanced at the two of them with his long eyes, stroking the edge of the white jade cup with his fingertips, and said leisurely, "Ye'er, long time no see, how have you been lately?"
"Thank you for your concern, Uncle, I am well."
The two toasted each other.
That kind of scrutinizing gaze had been falling on her.
Like needles on her back!
"You brought a little female this time, it's the first time I've seen her."
Fei Yuan looked down at Sang Luo, his voice gorgeous and enchanting, implying a low and playful tone.
"Raise your head and let me take a look."
