Chapter 217: Scars on the Heart
After the morning court session, according to Fei Yuan's usual habits, he would either be in the study or in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Sang Luo first went to the study to look for him, but he wasn't there.
She then went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Instead of seeing Fei Yuan, she ran into the one person she least wanted to see, Le Xia.
Le Xia was just walking out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Her clothes were disheveled, her eyes full of amorous feelings, and on her exposed fair neck and arms were patches of enchanting red marks, suggesting the kind of pleasurable lovemaking she had just experienced.
Sang Luo stopped, her expression calm.
Le Xia didn't expect to run into her here either. She was stunned for a moment, then quickly put on a smile, straightened her clothes, and walked forward gracefully, "I wonder what important matter brings the Honorable Consort to the palace? Are you here to see His Majesty?"
Without waiting for Sang Luo to answer, she glanced at the Hall of Mental Cultivation and smiled shyly, "His Majesty is busy with affairs of state, and last night… he was exhausted. He is still resting in the hall and hasn't woken up yet."
"If the Honorable Consort wishes to see His Majesty, you'll have to wait in the side hall for a while."
"Need I wait for him?" Sang Luo said coldly, "If he's not available today, I'll come back another day."
Sang Luo turned to leave, but Le Xia called out to her again.
"Honorable Consort, please wait."
Le Xia followed her, with no other palace servants around. She didn't need to pretend anymore and spoke frankly, "I know what you're trying to do by coming to the palace this time. You just want to use the child to win back His Majesty."
"…"
Le Xia looked at her stomach, a flash of jealousy quickly passing through her eyes, then raised her chin, "Please don't resent His Majesty. His Majesty doesn't owe you anything. He lost a life for you, which is enough to repay the price of you carrying this child."
"Fei Yuan even told you about this?"
"His Majesty tells me everything. But don't think that His Majesty saved you because he likes you. It's just for the sake of the child in your belly." Le Xia suddenly reached out and removed her veil, revealing a long-standing scar on her left cheek.
Sang Luo was shocked. No wonder she had always worn a veil; it turned out her face looked like this.
Le Xia touched the scar, smiling sadly and happily, "Does the Honorable Consort know how this scar came to be? His Majesty was assassinated back then, and I saved his life, turning my beautiful face into such an ugly state."
"His Majesty is both affectionate and fickle, but this scar is enough to be imprinted in his heart, so that he will never forget it."
Le Xia leisurely put on her veil again, carefully examining Sang Luo, "I must say, your face is indeed beautiful. Even when I was young, I might not have been able to compare to you… Looking closely at your eyes, they are somewhat similar to mine when I was young. No wonder His Majesty took a fancy to you and let you conceive a child…"
"After you give birth to the child, His Majesty will hand the child over to me to raise. I'm also afraid that the Honorable Consort will not give up and want to pester His Majesty with the child, so I might as well tell you something else."
"Speak," Sang Luo said, looking at her, her expression returning to calm.
"The Honorable Consort should also know that His Majesty lost two more lives back then. Do you know how they were lost?"
Le Xia curled her lips and smiled, "One of those lives, he lost to save me."
"Even if I don't have a child, His Majesty is willing to risk his life to save me. The Honorable Consort should also be clear about my importance in His Majesty's heart. Please don't be ignorant and come to the palace to annoy people in the future."
Sang Luo, after listening to her rambling for so long, picked at her ear, "Are you done?"
Le Xia's smile faltered slightly, and she frowned and said softly, "His Majesty and I have a hundred years of love, and there are many affections to tell, but these don't need to be told to an outsider like you."
Sang Luo raised her eyebrows, "Is that so? Honorable Consort Le Xia seems to not care about me, but you have repeatedly used these words to stimulate a pregnant woman. It seems… I am a great threat to you!"
"Are you afraid that I will take your position?"
"Or is it that the Honorable Consort hasn't conceived a child yet and is too anxious? Do you want to ridicule me to get some comfort?"
Le Xia's face was ugly, "You! What nonsense are you talking about!"
"I just want to remind you to rest assured that I am not interested in the position you are thinking about." Sang Luo raised her eyebrows and curled her lips, smiling provocatively, "What I lack the least is male beasts. A second-hand good is all. If you want it, I'll give it to you."
"You…" Le Xia's face was extremely bad!
Not being able to obtain Fei Yuan's Yuan Yang was undoubtedly a poisonous thorn in her heart. If she could get Yuan Yang nourishment, she would have broken through the True King Realm long ago and returned to youth and beauty!
She waited and waited, but this hateful female beast from who knows where stole it!
Sang Luo looked at the Hall of Mental Cultivation and walked towards it, "You have repeatedly stopped me, not wanting me to leave, then that's good. I'll go see Fei Yuan."
Le Xia's eyes flashed with panic, and she hurried forward to block her, coldly saying, "His Majesty is still resting and hates being disturbed the most."
"Not awake yet? It seems Fei Yuan's interest in you isn't high. He can't even handle this." Sang Luo licked her lips, satisfied with the aftertaste, "Do you know how ecstatic and attentive Fei Yuan is when he goes to bed with me? I can be *fainted* by him several times. He still pesters me day and night, wanting it, that's really…"
"Shut up!" Le Xia was furious and glared at her fiercely, her eyes seeming to tear her apart!
Sang Luo smiled, "I won't disturb the two of you's elegant interests, but please bother to inform Fei Yuan to remember to come and deliver food."
Touching her stomach, "He doesn't want to starve his only child, does he?"
The last sentence can be described as killing and punishing the heart. Under Le Xia's resentful gaze, Sang Luo turned around and left gracefully.
It's still useful to go to the palace to urge him to pay his debts.
Not two days later, Fei Yuan came to the Marquis's mansion, but was turned away.
Sang Luo used the excuse of being busy to decline him.
Wanting to see her wasn't that simple. Let him taste the feeling of waiting for someone.
Fei Yuan looked for her several times before finally seeing someone, but it was Si Ye blocking the door.
Fei Yuan frowned, "Where is Luo'er? I want to see her."
"Don't even think about it!" Si Ye looked at him, "She said she doesn't want to see you."
"…Did she really say that?"
"False." Si Ye added, "Since she came back from the palace, she hasn't mentioned you at all. I guess she's almost forgotten that there's someone like you."
"…"
"Oh right, let me remind you, Luo Luo wants to give this child to me to raise! In the future, this child will have nothing to do with you."
"As long as I, the biological father beast, am alive for one day, the child is mine." Fei Yuan casually broke the formation and came to the courtyard.
All the rooms had been searched, but Sang Luo was nowhere to be seen.
Si Ye followed behind him, slowly saying, "You also know Luo Luo's ability. As long as she doesn't want to see you, you can't possibly find her."
Fei Yuan didn't speak for a long time, his expression lonely, and his black-clothed back seemed much more desolate.
"Forget it, it's good that she stays here with you." Fei Yuan's voice was slightly hoarse. He took out a Qiankun bag and handed it to Si Ye, "The spiritual materials I gave her last time should be finished. These are the ones I picked out, suitable for her current pregnancy stage."
"Luo Luo stays here with me, at least she's in a good mood, which is good for the child." Si Ye took the Qiankun bag.
Fei Yuan took out another pill.
"The Reincarnation Pill she asked me for a few days ago, please give it to her as well."
Refining the Reincarnation Pill takes a lot of time. Si Ye was surprised, "Did you just come out of seclusion?"
"Yes, I came out of seclusion a few days ago. I originally wanted to find her as soon as possible, but she didn't see me," Fei Yuan said, "After she finishes this time, I will come again."
Fei Yuan took a deep look in a certain direction of the mansion, then turned and left.
