The hall was silent.

The beads of sweat on Jixiang's forehead never stopped.

He looked up at Hua Rong, whose face was serious, then at Di Bing, whose face was somber, and finally lowered his eyes again.

It's really tough.

Wasn't it said that I would still come to the palace to serve Lord Red Fox?

But now he sees it as a death sentence.

A human emperor, with his own inherent majesty and aura, could suppress a mere demon like him by 90% with his magical artifact, but the remaining 10% was still quite unpleasant.

As for the other one, the Red Fox Lord, who pretends to be weak but is actually strong, he is even more aggressive, making him careful not to reveal his true colors at all times.

I've heard that demons who reveal their true identities get mocked by other demons!

“Your Majesty, you have been on the throne for three years, yet you have no heir. As the Queen, I have a duty to advise you.”

"Shut up!" Di Bing thought. If he were a cat, he would have already bristled.

He never expected that Hua Rong would come to persuade him to spread his love equally and have a son soon!

hehe.

Di Bing walked towards Hua Rong step by step, and the look in his eyes made Hua Rong feel a chill down her spine.

"Your Majesty, it seems you only remember your responsibility to offer advice, but have forgotten that you have another responsibility."

Hua Rong frowned, somewhat displeased with the breath spraying near her ear.

She stood up calmly, avoiding Emperor Bing, and said indifferently, "Your Majesty, please speak plainly."

Di Bing remained completely calm, but Ji Xiang, standing beside him, noticed that his hands, bound behind his back, were clenched tightly.

He sniffed, as if he could still smell blood.

"You are my queen, and my woman, and have the responsibility to bear my children."

Hua Rong's lips twitched.

Even if she was willing to feign compliance with the Emperor, she never considered bearing his child.

Her eyes darted around, and a hint of sadness suddenly appeared on her face.

"What's wrong?" Di Bing was the first to notice. Although his tone was still calm, his speed of speech revealed his urgency.

Hua Rong lowered her eyes, her tone sounding quite fragile.

“When I was young, I fell into the water, and the doctor said that I would have difficulty conceiving my own children.”

Di Bing's forehead veins bulged. This little liar, what didn't he know about her affairs?

How could he not know about something as serious as falling into the water?

He reached out, pinched Hua Rong's chin, and lifted her head.

Hua Rong wanted to resist, but after thinking it over, she gave up.

"Your Majesty, I still have my pride. No one in this harem will become pregnant until you give birth to an heir."

Hua Rong rolled her eyes: "Isn't Liang Meiren a human being?"

That's a false pregnancy!

It's because I want to see you jealous!

It is I who want to see you murder her!

Forehead.

Emperor Bing would naturally not tell the truth.

"Oh, this statement is now in effect."

In fact, for the first six months, Hua Rong was so focused on seducing Di Bing that she didn't pay much attention to the monsters and demons in the harem.

It wasn't until Consort Liang suffered a miscarriage and Da Si entered the palace that she began to set her sights on the inner palace.

Therefore, she really didn't know about the schemes between Emperor Bing and Consort Liang.

Having profound magical powers does not mean knowing everything.

Hua Rong glanced at Di Bing with some curiosity, feeling that Di Bing's words had a hidden meaning.

"Your Majesty, for the sake of the Western Shang's kingdom and its people, I beg you to disregard my plight. The kingdom is of utmost importance."

Emperor Bing's eyes were icy cold: "Oh, is the country more important? I think the Queen has been the one who's been more important lately."

fall!

Hua Rong frowned deeply, sensing that Di Bing seemed to dislike her more than just a little.

Because of her authoritarian father?

Or is it because she is a woman?

She subtly hinted, "Actually, it's not necessarily necessary to have children. Your Majesty only needs to follow your heart. No matter who Your Majesty loves, I will support Your Majesty."

Di Bing frowned; he felt that something was off about that statement.

But he couldn't figure out what was wrong when Hua Rong left.

I do remember what she said before she left: next month is the day of mourning, and the palace will definitely prepare a banquet to entertain all the officials.

Thinking about it this way, he inevitably thought of his first encounter with Hua Rong.

That was also a day of filial piety; she accompanied her parents to the palace to attend the banquet held by her father, the king.

He hid in a secluded pavilion on the side of the imperial garden and wept because he had been humiliated by the servants of his elder brother.

Then she appeared.

As a child, she looked fair-skinned, chubby, and incredibly cute.

She approached him, comforted him, and then... had him pushed into the pool.

"You've grown up so much, but your personality hasn't changed at all..."

I still don't like him.

======

Outside Chuyang Palace.

morning.

The concubines, some pale and some dark-faced, all stood ramrod straight.

Hua Rong lay on a chaise lounge, comfortably basking in the sunlight.

If she weren't outside the palace, she would have loved to revert to her original form and roll around on her nine tails.

Do you know why I sent you here?

Consort Yang asked very solicitously, "Does Your Majesty have any instructions for us?"

Hua Rong raised an eyebrow. Had Consort Yang suddenly gone from villain to hero?

Consort Yang's heart was bleeding too. The fact that Hua Rong could see through her true form meant that her cultivation was above hers.

Since no one uses magic anymore, everything is fine.

But they won't stay in this palace forever. The day they leave the palace... just thinking about it is exhilarating.

"It's not so much an order as a reminder. I'm just reminding you all. I don't care why you came to the palace, but don't forget that as concubines, your duty is to please the King. If the King likes you, then I will naturally like you too. And vice versa."
