Chapter 315: Signs of a Miscarriage?!
Minos stroked her lush, cloud-like black hair, which wasn't as lustrous as before and had a few split ends. "The Holy Ancestor has lived for tens of thousands of years and is quite traditional. It's normal for him to be prejudiced against foreign females. You also have very rare black hair, so don't take it to heart."
"What about you? What if I give birth to a child with black hair and black eyes?"
"I'll raise it too."
"…You have to raise your children no matter what they look like!"
"I'd love to have a child with your hair and eye color. They would be very beautiful."
After the Holy Ancestor left, he returned to the Holy Temple.
The Archbishop was also there, kneeling in obeisance. "My Lord."
The Holy Ancestor casually flipped through a roster. "Minos did not choose any of the females I arranged for him."
The Archbishop's heart skipped a beat. Most of the females on those lists were carefully selected from families under the Holy Ancestor's power. If these females were chosen as Holy Consort, the Holy Ruler, Holy Consort, and the next generation of Holy Ruler would naturally be entirely in the Holy Ancestor's hands.
He smoothed things over, "Although the current Holy Consort is a foreign female, she has experience bearing children of the Angel race. It was the Holy Ruler's own choice."
"Heh, how absurd and laughable. The lowly human race, a fragile species that has long become extinct, can only produce offspring that are difficult to make into great talents."
"His Majesty the Holy Ruler is fond of her," the Archbishop said softly. "The Holy Ruler allowed the Holy Consort to personally perform his coronation ceremony. Back then, he went deep into the Demon race alone for the Holy Consort, severing three wings. The situation caused quite a stir, but it was all suppressed by the Holy Ruler. He went to the Time Rift to heal his injuries for nearly a hundred years. The Holy Consort still thinks it was just a minor injury that could be healed in a few months."
Aurelia became interested. "I didn't expect Minos to care so much about a female."
"Everyone knows that the Holy Consort is His Majesty the Holy Ruler's reversed scale."
"A reversed scale is also a weakness. He mustn't stumble over it." Aurelia smiled. "Pick out some good things and send them to that Holy Consort. Her life… every extra day she lives is a day."
The Archbishop thought of something, his expression changed slightly, and he hesitated, "Yes."
Servants sent many tonics to the bedroom.
As the pregnancy progressed, many people were added to the palace staff.
Some of the newcomers were clumsy. One didn't hold the scalding bowl of medicine steady, spilling it all over the ground. Sang Luo's exposed calf also recoiled from the heat, and she noticed some blood flowing from her foot, probably accidentally cut by a piece of broken porcelain.
The servant hurriedly knelt down and moved over to help wipe away the blood with a clean cloth, while two other servants quickly came over to clean up the mess on the ground.
Sang Luo casually cast a healing spell, and the wound was as good as new. "It's just a small injury, it doesn't matter. Be careful next time and don't be so rash."
"Thank you for your magnanimity, Holy Consort. I will definitely remember!"
Sang Luo waved her hand.
The servant hurriedly retreated.
Another servant brought today's meal, and Sang Luo quickly forgot about the incident.
Her appetite hadn't been very good these past two days, and she always felt bloated and uncomfortable in her stomach.
One day, just after finishing lunch, Sang Luo suddenly felt a sharp pain in her abdomen, her face pale, and she broke out in a cold sweat. The servant urgently summoned the palace witch doctor.
After the witch doctor examined her, he was shocked, "Reporting to the Holy Consort, this child's pregnancy is unstable, and there are signs of premature birth, even miscarriage!"
What!?
Her pregnancy had been normal, and everything she ate and drank was fine, so how could this happen?
This had never happened before!
"Fortunately, it was discovered early. I will prescribe some pregnancy-preserving medicine, and Her Highness the Holy Consort must remember to take it."
"Thank you for your trouble."
The witch doctor led his disciples away first.
Sang Luo sat on the couch, touching her belly uneasily, her heart filled with anxiety.
She subconsciously released a wisp of divine sense to follow the old witch doctor.
The witch doctor and his disciples entered the pharmacy to start brewing the pregnancy-preserving medicine.
Sang Luo didn't have much research on medicine, and she didn't know what these medicinal materials were.
Half an hour later, the witch doctor presented the pregnancy-preserving medicine.
Sang Luo smelled it. This pregnancy-preserving medicine was not quite the same as what she usually drank. After taking a sip, she used her talent ability of the Body of Ten Thousand Poisons to analyze it and found that it had actually been poisoned with Gu!
Sang Luo's eyes turned cold, and then she regained her composure. She drank the entire bowl of soup, while simultaneously mobilizing the purification power in her body to purify all the Gu poison outside the medicinal properties.
The witch doctor lowered his head, but secretly glanced at Sang Luo. Seeing her drink the entire bowl of soup, he revealed a smile, took the soup bowl, and retreated with his disciples.
Sang Luo thought for a while and didn't immediately tell Minos about this. She had been living too leisurely these days, and her brain was not working well. She was not very clear about the situation outside.
Who exactly wanted to harm her?
She released several wisps of spiritual power to cover the Holy Palace.
"…Have you heard? The child in the Holy Consort's belly is a Fallen Angel!"
"Really?"
"Don't talk nonsense, kid! Fallen Angels are long gone. Where did you hear the rumors?" Someone lowered their voice.
"This is not a rumor. Look at the Holy Consort's black hair. Who in the Holy Temple has that kind of black hair? Have you forgotten? The representative of the legendary Fallen Angel is black hair and black eyes!"
"When the Holy Ruler decided to marry the Holy Consort, I wanted to say it, but how could the Holy Ruler choose such an unlucky female as the Holy Consort? It's just the choice of those above, and it has nothing to do with us below… Now that you say it, is the Holy Consort's black hair not natural, but a symbol of the Fallen Angel?"
"Don't talk nonsense! I've seen beastmen with black hair in other places before. You can't convict the Holy Consort just because of this! Seducing others, be careful I tell the Chief Angel in charge!"
"This is not nonsense. I have relatives working in the Holy Temple. He personally heard the Holy Ancestor say that the child in the Holy Consort's belly is a Fallen Angel…"
"Ah, this, this is terrible!"
A beastman handed the food tray in his hand to a shorter beastman next to him. "It's too unlucky. I don't want to get close to that kind of evil thing. You help me deliver this meal, and I'll give you crystal stones as compensation later."
"I don't want to get close either. If it really is a Fallen Angel, getting close to it will bring disaster!"
Several people pushed back and forth.
"After all, she is the Holy Ruler's Holy Consort, so what can be done?"
"So what if she's the Holy Ruler's Holy Consort? Who doesn't know that the Holy Ruler is just the surface ruler of the Holy Temple, and the Holy Ancestor is the actual power holder."
"Now that the Holy Ancestor has emerged, everyone with eyes can see who the Holy Temple obeys."
"These days, the Holy Ruler has been following the Holy Ancestor, not daring to disobey in the slightest. Do you think he would dare not obey if the Holy Ancestor asked the Holy Ruler to expel the Holy Consort and the child from the Holy Palace?"
Sang Luo listened to these rumors, her brows furrowed, and her heart gradually sank to the bottom, thinking of some bad guesses.
The few people argued for a while, but the servant who broke the soup bowl earlier took the food tray and entered the bedroom.
"Holy Consort, please eat."
Sang Luo watched him leave, but she didn't have any appetite to eat. She left spiritual power on him.
The servant left the bedroom along a small path and went to the Holy Temple.
It really was someone sent by the Holy Temple!
Sang Luo heard the conversation between the Holy Ancestor and the Archbishop, and her whole body felt cold, and her blood ran backward.
Second update!
There will be another update later~
