Lying on the large bed made of Phoebe zhennan wood, Sang Luo looked at the tall man in brocade robes walking towards her. Her voice was a little weak, "Did A Ze leave?"
"Are you talking about the Merman Emperor of the South Sea? He waited for a while at the palace gate and then left." Fei Yuan walked to the bedside, looking at her with a smile, "Little thing, with me here, you're still thinking about other male beasts?"
"…We're not that familiar."
"We'll get familiar slowly." Seeing the cold sweat on her face and her lips turning pale, Fei Yuan asked, "Does your stomach hurt?"
"Yes." Sang Luo nodded weakly. The late stages of pregnancy were the hardest, especially the last month before delivery. Her stomach would have occasional labor pains. Her previous pregnancies were relatively shorter, so it was easier to bear. This pregnancy is longer, and the pain lasts longer as well.
Fei Yuan went out for a while and came back with a bowl of medicine. "Good girl Luo'er, drink this bowl of medicine."
She took a sniff and wrinkled her nose. "What is this? It smells so bitter!"
"It's a medicine to calm the fetus," Fei Yuan said. "Good medicine tastes bitter."
Sang Luo looked at the dark, bitter-smelling medicine with resistance, not wanting to drink it.
Fei Yuan stared at her moist lips. "What? Do you need this Emperor to personally feed you?"
"No! No need!"
"Then obediently drink the medicine. I'm still waiting for you to give me a cub. I won't harm you." Fei Yuan also brought a small bowl of yellowish maltose.
With sweet maltose in her mouth, Sang Luo held the bowl of medicine, closed her eyes, and gulped it down in one breath.
"Hehe, is it that hard to drink?" Fei Yuan couldn't help but smile at her appearance as if she were facing death. He took the bowl with a layer of medicine residue at the bottom and handed it to the servant beside him.
"It doesn't taste good, but…it's really effective!" Sang Luo's eyes brightened slightly. After drinking the medicine, the feeling of heaviness in her stomach was relieved a lot. Her body felt lighter, almost like her condition in the middle of pregnancy.
"Could you be a reincarnated divine physician?" She looked at Fei Yuan.
Fei Yuan said, "A patient heals himself, drawing inferences and extending his business a bit."
He reached out and gently brushed her messy long hair, damp with a thin layer of sweat, behind her ear. His voice was low, mellow, and lazy, making Sang Luo's ears tingle. "Little Luo'er, focus on prenatal care in the palace. This Emperor will personally take care of you during this period until you finish giving birth and completing your postpartum confinement. This is a unique honor in the world."
He even dismissed all the concubines in the harem.
Just waiting for her to move into the Beast Emperor's Palace.
Sang Luo then rested in Phoenix Palace with peace of mind.
Every day, Fei Yuan watched the development of the fetus in her belly and prepared corresponding medicines to calm the fetus for her. It was even better than the most famous witch doctor's skills outside.
Sang Luo relied on giving birth to advance in rank, but no woman was willing to endure the pain of childbirth. Before pregnancy, she and her beast husbands would ask witch doctors to take care of her, but most of the medicines prescribed by witch doctors only had the effect of protecting the fetus. It didn't help much in alleviating the symptoms of pregnancy. She still suffered when she was supposed to suffer.
Especially in the late stages of pregnancy, she endured both physical and mental torment.
The physical discomfort became more and more intense, and she had to worry day and night about whether she would suddenly go into labor…
This pregnancy was the longest and most difficult so far, but with Fei Yuan taking care of her properly, Sang Luo didn't have any problems throughout the late stages of pregnancy, and her body didn't even feel uncomfortable.
"It will be born in three days, probably at midnight." Fei Yuan sat by the bed, lovingly stroking her round belly, as if the child in her belly was his own.
…He can't lay his own eggs, so he wants to snatch his nephew's cub.
Fei Yuan and Si Ye's father, Fei Li, are brothers. To be honest, this child might really have his bloodline.
Sang Luo was speechless at the thought that flashed through her mind. She blinked, "You can calculate it so accurately?"
"Yes, you have to trust this Emperor's judgment. This little guy can't wait to come out."
Hearing Fei Yuan say this, Sang Luo felt a lot more at ease. In the next two days, she wouldn't have to worry about suddenly going into labor. She closed her eyes and planned to sleep well for two days, saving all her strength for the night after tomorrow.
Fei Yuan got up and changed a furnace of calming incense that had burned out.
A guard outside the door reported. He glanced at Sang Luo, who was half-asleep on the bed, tiptoed out the door.
Sang Luo hadn't fallen asleep yet. After waiting for a moment, Fei Yuan came back, his face a little ugly.
"What exactly happened?" She turned her head and asked him.
Fei Yuan looked at her, his thin lips slightly parted, "Some trivial matters of government affairs, it has nothing to do with you, you can focus on prenatal care."
"I heard you talking about the Eastern Region and mentioned Si Ye's name? Is there news about him?"
"…It's really impossible to hide it from you." Fei Yuan sighed, "You're close to giving birth, I was afraid you'd have a burden on your heart, I didn't want to tell you."
"What happened?" Sang Luo wanted to get up, but Fei Yuan hurried over to support her, letting her upper body lean against the head of the bed, and put two soft pillows behind her waist. Sang Luo grabbed his arm, worried, "I'm even more worried if you don't tell me."
"He's currently in the Eastern Region, and the situation…is not very good. I sent someone to bring him back, but he won't come back." Fei Yuan said in a deep voice, "I don't know why this child ran to the Eastern Flame Plateau? That place has nothing but volcanic lava, Gobi, and desert. It's very barren, and almost no one lives in that kind of place. What does he want to do in that broken place?"
"The situation is not very good? I just heard you talking about heavenly tribulation, could it be that Si Ye…" Sang Luo vaguely guessed in her heart.
Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, Fei Yuan had no choice but to confess the truth, "Xiao Ye has the blood of two beasts, and his talent is outstanding. Last year, he was on the verge of breaking through to the Emperor rank. His mother was afraid that the Si family would be extinct, so she made him suppress his cultivation."
"I see that you don't have his soul mark on you, so after he lifted the soul mark, his realm fell, and he made it up again in the past six months, and he couldn't suppress it. In that harsh Eastern Region, he ushered in the heavenly tribulation, but unfortunately…the breakthrough failed."
Fei Yuan sighed with regret, "This little nephew of mine is so easy to use. Whenever he leads troops, he wins every battle and helps me recover several difficult lost territories. He has never lost since he was a child, and he is very proud."
"This failure should be a big blow to him, I'm afraid he will be depressed."
"Why did he fail?" Sang Luo's heart ached, Si Ye's talent was so high.
Seeing Fei Yuan hesitate to speak, it seemed that there was another hidden secret.
"I underestimated his affection for you." Fei Yuan said, "He developed a inner demon, went into a state of madness, and that's why the breakthrough failed."
Sang Luo was stunned, "Inner demon?"
"Yes, this inner demon is quite deadly. If the inner demon is not removed, it will be difficult for him to step into the Emperor rank again in this lifetime, and he may even lose control and become a demon."
"…" Sang Luo choked, her heart was terribly uncomfortable, "How can I save him."
Fei Yuan touched her face and said in a deep voice, "The easiest way is to kill the person who caused him to develop the inner demon, and directly eliminate the root of the evil."
"…"
Seeing her pale face, Fei Yuan suddenly smiled again, "Of course, there is another more humane way, which is to resolve his inner demon."
He said, "However, the one who tied the knot must untie it. I have no way to resolve this inner demon."
"It's because of me, I am his inner demon, I'm going to find him." Sang Luo wanted to get out of bed, but Fei Yuan hugged her back into bed.
"What's the rush, he won't die for the time being." Fei Yuan looked at her belly, "These are the last few days, now nothing is more important than your belly, you should focus on giving birth to the child first."
Someone came to find him outside the door again. Fei Yuan looked at Sang Luo uneasily, set up layers of barriers, and told her before leaving,
"Good girl Luo'er, I'll be right back, don't run around."
Half an incense stick later, Fei Yuan came back, but the bed was empty, the person was gone.
"…"
She really doesn't listen.
