Sang Luo's current lifespan is also ridiculously long. Five years, ten years… that's acceptable. But compared to her previous pregnancies, which lasted a few months or at most a year, this pregnancy sounds exhausting.
Nezha was only pregnant for three years!
“Carrying your child is really tiring.”
“Carrying one is like carrying ten, less suffering during childbirth, more worthwhile.”
“……” Well, that's a bit of consolation.
The power gained after giving birth to this child will definitely be extremely abundant, and she is very much looking forward to it.
“Your Majesty, Consort Lexia has been summoned, do you want to see her now?” A servant reported.
Sang Luo glared with her almond-shaped eyes, reaching out to grab his ear, “Are you trying to be cheap again?”
“Cough! Luo'er, there are so many servants watching, it's unseemly, let go quickly.” Several servants in the hall seemed to be working with their heads down, but they were all secretly peeking here. He is, after all, a dignified Beast Emperor, he still needs to save face!
Sang Luo reluctantly let go, rubbed his ear for him, and said softly, “Your Majesty has been tired these past few days, I'll rub your head and massage your back…”
She whispered, “Why did you call her to the Hall of Mental Cultivation?”
“Haven't you always wanted to know why I kept her in the palace? Today, I will naturally let you see this good show with your own eyes.” Fei Yuan said, “Counting the days, it's about time.”
Sang Luo didn't know what Fei Yuan wanted to do, but she still did as he said, got up and went behind a screen in the inner hall, her mental power spreading out, nothing could escape her eyes and ears.
Lexia, whom she hadn't seen for many days, was standing at the entrance of the hall, tidying her clothes and hair, her face full of anticipation, and also seeming a little nervous.
Lexia's complexion was indeed much better than when they first met. That time, she was beautiful, but her whole body seemed to be surrounded by a faint aura of death. Fei Yuan said that she was poisoned at the time, which was probably true, so Lexia was eager to come to the palace to see Fei Yuan, and used this as a bargaining chip to ask Fei Yuan to help her detoxify.
Lexia was still wearing a veil, but it was extremely thin, half-transparent and half-hidden.
Sang Luo was surprised to find that the scar on her face had healed.
Did Fei Yuan heal it for her?
Looking at her in brocade clothes and luxurious attire, with a healthy blush on her hibiscus-like face… Fei Yuan said he didn't care anymore, but he has been taking good care of her in the palace these days!
“Consort Lexia, His Majesty invites you in.”
A servant came out to report.
A flush of red flew across Lexia's jade-like face. She had been in the palace for so long, and it was the first time Fei Yuan had taken the initiative to call her over. Thinking of the past few months since she entered the palace… Lexia was extremely dissatisfied. She originally thought she could capture Fei Yuan with her old love, but unexpectedly, a foreign female suddenly appeared out of nowhere and became pregnant with Fei Yuan's child.
She successfully alienated the two of them, and thought she could successfully become pregnant with Fei Yuan's child. Even a nameless foreign female could become pregnant, there was no reason why she couldn't. As long as she could give birth to a phoenix heir, it would be of great help to her!
But unexpectedly, these days, Fei Yuan said that in order to protect her, he arranged for her to stay in a side hall to receive treatment in peace, and also assigned guards to watch over her.
She stayed in the side hall all day long, unable to come and go freely at all, let alone come to Fei Yuan's side to sway and seduce him.
Today, Fei Yuan unexpectedly sent someone to summon her. Lexia carefully dressed up, imagining the two of them in the hall indulging in love… Being able to have a night of passion with a top-quality male like Fei Yuan was enough to make one's heart crave and legs weaken just thinking about it.
“Thank you for the message, this is for you.” Lexia casually threw a few spar stones to the servant.
The servant didn't accept it, “Consort, please come in quickly, don't keep His Majesty waiting.”
Lexia didn't care, and walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Seeing that the servants had all been dismissed, Fei Yuan was wearing a loose robe and was engrossed in reading documents. Her heart beat faster, “Your Majesty～”
Her voice was so delicate that water could be squeezed out of it.
Fei Yuan looked at her, and smiled, “How is your body recently?”
Lexia was dazzled by his handsome and unparalleled smile, and a fire almost exploded in her chest. She swallowed hard, her mind blank, and did not capture the fleeting gloom in the man's long eyes.
“The wounds and poison on my body are all healed, thanks to Your Majesty for treating me. Your Majesty's medical skills are really getting more and more exquisite…” She smiled shyly, and raised her hand to the veil, “I don't know if it's because this Phoenix Palace is nourishing, or because seeing Your Majesty makes me happy, the old wounds on my face have slowly healed. Does Your Majesty want to take another look at me?”
As she spoke, she took off her veil, revealing a gorgeous and charming face.
Even Sang Luo couldn't help but be a little stunned. As expected of a pure-blooded royal beast female of the Qingluan clan. After the old wounds on her face healed, Lexia was definitely the most beautiful female she had ever seen in the beast world. No wonder Fei Yuan used to be so fond of her.
Lexia was also quite confident in her appearance. She had never failed to win over a male since she was a child. What if he was a Beast Emperor? He was also destined to be her servant.
“Oh? Is it really all healed? Come here and let this Emperor take a look.”
Lexia smiled lightly and walked forward, falling into his arms.
Fei Yuan reached out and stroked her soft and delicate face, his fingers slowly falling in front of her chest, “Here…”
“Your Majesty, you are so bad——Ah!” Before Lexia could act shy, she suddenly let out a scream.
A short dagger appeared in Fei Yuan's hand at some point, stabbing into the upper part of her chest.
Lexia widened her eyes in disbelief and horror, unable to speak from the pain. She heard Fei Yuan's faint voice in her ear, “For so many years, this Emperor has never doubted you, but I didn't expect that person to hide the knife so deeply, hiding it by this Emperor's side.”
With a flick of the knife tip, a fat Gu worm, completely blood-red and as thick as half a little finger, was dug out from her heart. It was frantically twisting its body, trying to escape.
Fei Yuan pulled out the dagger, released Lexia, who was trembling and convulsing, and with a wave of his finger, the Gu worm fell into a disc-shaped magic weapon. Then, he cut his wrist, and as the red blood flowed out, a dead Gu worm flowed out. This was the sub-Gu, which was a whole half smaller than the mother Gu.
The dead sub-Gu also fell into the plate.
The mother Gu instantly opened its mouth and devoured the dead sub-Gu.
The next moment, the mother Gu exploded and died, turning into a pool of black blood.
Fei Yuan's body was not only poisoned with one kind of poison, but two.
The first type was the dark poison that had plagued him for hundreds of years, a poison specially prepared for him by the person behind the scenes, which chronically damaged his body, causing his body to be in a weak state for a long time, and he had sought medical treatment for hundreds of years, but had not found a solution.
The other type was this pair of Bewitching Love Gu, which would make a male extremely infatuated with a female, and his guard would also be reduced to the lowest level.
The mastermind used Lexia's vanity and ambition to make her his knife, and after poisoning Fei Yuan with the Gu poison, he would give him the dark poison for decades.
Fei Yuan wanted to know who the person behind the scenes was.
He tapped a few acupoints on Lexia's body to stop the bleeding, “Who gave you this pair of Gu worms back then?”
