Chapter 70 An Accident
After taking a shower, Duotu gently massaged her belly and applied olive oil.
With the experience from last time, he was able to take care of her during her pregnancy with ease. He personally cooked for her a plate of braised pork steak and Ganoderma lucidum and jade ear soup.
After Sang Luo finished her meal, she ate a few more Wang Jing pills and then fell asleep quickly with her head resting on his thighs.
Duotu touched her delicate face, straightened her up, carried her back to the bed, and covered her with the quilt.
Stay with me until midnight.
Until the orcs outside the door brought news, the warmth on his face disappeared instantly, and he got up and left Taoyuanwu.
…
Sang Luo specially changed into a formal palace dress. Several noble ladies invited her to go for a tour and asked A Man to accompany her.
On the road, we ran into a group of people.
He comes with ill intentions.
At the front, a burly and strong middle-aged man was wearing a luxurious brown-red palace suit. His face was upright and majestic, and his sharp eagle eyes were filled with a chilling light that could break people's hearts. His realm was unfathomable, which made people feel afraid.
Behind him were two rows of guards, who did not look like palace guards. They were all dressed up and ready to go, and it did not look like they were going to the palace to meet the emperor.
Sang Luo stopped and asked, "Who is this person? He is so majestic."
Ah Man whispered back, "It's Prince Brent. He fought alongside the former Beast King and conquered nearly half of the territory of the Alans Empire. I heard he reached the True King realm a few years ago and was also the previous, renowned admiral of the Empire. However, not long after the old Beast King ascended the throne, he voluntarily resigned from his position and lived a leisurely life guarding his fiefdom and property. The old Beast King, in recognition of his hard work and great achievements, made an exception and promoted him to the rank of prince, treating him with extraordinary respect..."
"No wonder, this murderous aura all over his body is not something that ordinary people can possess." Sang Luo nodded thoughtfully.
This is Marsali Brent's father.
She could see that both the father and daughter were not easy to deal with, and the ambition in their eyes was obvious.
Presumably, Prince Brent's resignation was not voluntary. He had followed Egali Alans for so many years and naturally knew how jealous the other party was. He just wanted to avoid becoming a sitting duck.
Now that the old Beast King has stepped down and been replaced by Duotu, the fledgling new Beast King, how could he possibly sit still?
Unfortunately, Duotu is not a persimmon that can be easily manipulated in the eyes of these old guys. His ambition and scheming are better hidden than his father's. It is still uncertain who will bring whom down in the end.
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen, I hope you are in good health." Prince Brent did not bow when he saw Sang Luo, and his expression was extremely defiant.
His sharp eagle eyes glanced at her belly, and his voice was loud and low, with a hint of disdain, "Oh, I heard that Her Majesty the Queen just gave birth to a litter of cubs a while ago, and only a few months later she's pregnant again. This precious belly is really capable of giving birth!"
Anyone could hear the sarcasm in the prince's words, and he was actually speaking in sarcasm.
The lower the level of the beast tribe, the easier it is to give birth to offspring.
I heard that the Queen's last pregnancy was a bastard child from an unknown beast father, but thankfully, His Majesty the Beast King was generous and didn't make a fuss. Just a few months later, she's pregnant again. It's obvious that this is another child from an unknown beast lover.
Sang Luo ignored his sarcasm and said with a smile, "Prince Brent must be going to the palace to see Marsali this time. Her residence is to the west. If you don't know the way, I can ask someone to take His Excellency there."
Prince Brent glanced at her coldly, then strode away with a large group of people.
Sang Luo had no intention of dealing with him. After taking only two steps, he felt a burning sensation on his wrist.
She quickly lowered her head and a chill flashed across her eyes. The prince had secretly attacked her!
The soul mark blocked the attack.
There really are dangers everywhere in the Beast King's Palace.
It's hard to guard against.
They're all coming for her!
Sang Luo's face became more and more miserable. After all, her strength was too weak. Even with the soul mark, she could only barely resist one attack. If she was a true king, she would not have to swallow her anger and be unable to do anything.
She raised her hand and gently touched her belly. Originally, the only meaning of this child to her was to complete the mission and escape, but now she had an additional subjective wish: she wanted to give birth to it healthily.
For herself.
Her purpose was very clear from the beginning. Males were just tools for cultivation and advancement. Love, hatred and resentment were all empty. Whether it was Caesar or Duotu, they should all be treated equally. Worrying about gains and losses and struggling with this would only make her fall into a quagmire and waste time.
Thoughts were like clouds clearing away from the fog, and in an instant, everything became clear.
"Your Excellency, what's wrong?" Ah Man saw her suddenly stop and thought something had happened.
Sang Luo smiled and said, "It's okay. I just had a little bug fly on my face. By the way, which auction house did Noblewoman Woer and the others invite me to? You continue to lead the way."
Meanwhile, Prince Brent's expression suddenly changed. His attack had been blocked! Unless the female possessed the mate mark of a True King-level beast, would Duotu be willing to give her the mate mark? Unless she was pregnant with his biological child.
"Go find my son."
"Your Excellency, aren't we going to the palace this time to meet the Beast King?"
"The plan has changed. There are some things I need to clarify." Brent's face darkened slightly and he turned in another direction.
From a side hall in the west, came the secret sounds of lovemaking.
After half a day, it gradually stopped.
Marsali Brent dressed and got out of bed, her lips rosy and her face full of satisfaction.
Two strong male orcs were lying on the bed, already exhausted.
At her feet were several handsome male beasts of different styles, looking at Marsali Brent with eyes full of obsession.
Seeing Marsali Brent walking down from the bed steps, a gentle fox orc with white semi-long hair helped her put on shoes and helped her walk to the dining table where someone had already prepared food.
Marsali Brent's depressed mood has eased a lot recently.
She drugged Duotu for the first time and thought the plan would succeed smoothly, but she suddenly fainted for some reason halfway through and was making out with a man when she woke up.
She thought it was Duotu who came to see her in the middle of the night and was very excited. Halfway through, she found out that it was not him, but a very handsome, powerful and mysterious king beast, which also made her heart beat faster and she wanted to take him in.
But after having sex with that king beast, the two never had any contact again.
A few days ago, I heard that Quan Xiu had left the Western Continent. It seemed that she was destined to have no chance to capture that king beast.
Duotu has always been her first goal.
That position is also the one she wants most.
Marsali Brent went to Dotu several times to show her affection, but he was always distant and lukewarm.
Marshall Brent was so anxious that she couldn't get him into her mouth, and her desire to get him became stronger!
So some time ago, she found another opportunity to drug him, but unfortunately she still couldn't get to the final step. However, Duotu often came to see her, and their relationship was visibly warming up. But in the middle of that, the news of the queen's pregnancy suddenly came out, and the emperor and queen held a partner ceremony, and they were in harmony. From then on, she almost never saw Duotu again.
Marsali Brent was unwilling to see her good fortune go to waste.
It was obvious that Duotu had developed lust for her.
It’s just the last step!
"Marshall, your father is here to see you. Are you doing well during your time in the palace?" Prince Brent came over.
Marsali Brent quickly asked the servants to leave, put on her clothes, and went out to greet them happily.
"My daughter is fine, father, don't worry."
After the father and daughter chatted for a while, the prince said a few words to her, and Marsali Brent's face turned ugly, "... Don't worry, father, I will check it out."
After Prince Brent left, Marshall Brent sent someone to the warehouse to get some good things and went to Taoyuanwu, but was told by the servants that Her Majesty the Queen had left in the morning.
On her way back, Marsali Brent met Sang Luo and his partner who were returning to the palace. She said she had prepared some good tea and invited her to the palace for a chat.
Prince Brent had just finished showing his displeasure when his daughter came over to show her attention. Sang Luo was curious about what the father and daughter wanted to do, so she readily accepted the invitation.
Marsali Brent took Sang Luo's hand, supporting it lightly, and looked at her belly in surprise, "Didn't Sister just give birth to her first child a few months ago? It hasn't been long since then and you're pregnant with your second child. This time it's..."
"It's your Majesty's biological child." Sang Luo said with a smile.
Marsali Brent's face paled, and she almost staggered. She quickly controlled her emotions and smiled with some strained expression, "Your Majesty, this is truly... auspicious for pregnancy!"
After arriving at the palace, she poured two glasses of wine and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, I toast you!"
"Your Majesty has forbidden me to drink alcohol these days, not even fruit wine."
"I've been negligent. I'll drink a glass as a punishment myself." Marsali Brent gulped down the wine in the glass and said to the beast servant beside her, "Bring some fruit and tea. There's still quite a bit of Lingjing tea left that His Majesty sent me a few days ago. I usually don't drink it, but I'll take it all out this time and make some for Her Majesty the Queen."
"Okay, ladies, please wait a moment."
A handsome white-haired fox servant replied gently, with an indescribable charm in his every move.
Sang Luo couldn't help but look at him twice, caught a glimpse of the red mark on his neck, and then looked at Marsali Brent, who was nourished by the spring beauty and looked even more charming, and suddenly understood.
Seeing that Sang Luo had been looking at the fox orc, Marsali Brent smiled and said, "I bought a servant from the beast slave market. He was quite pretty, so I bought him. If the queen likes him, I'll give him to you."
"I dare not accept it. If His Majesty knew about it, he would be very angry."
"Your Highness and His Majesty have such a good relationship..." Marshall Brent was extremely envious.
Sang Luo didn't say anything and looked out the window.
Marsali Brent couldn't stand the loneliness in the deep palace. Although her partners had been sent away, the male servants in the palace were more handsome than each other, each with his own charm. They were probably her lovers.
Duotu is really not angry at all, just letting her support him like this?
The fox servant poured a cup of tea for the two of them.
Marsali Brent smiled and said, "How about trying the tea in my palace?"
Sang Luo picked up the teacup, her heart trembled. The aroma of tea was mixed with a familiar taste. She immediately remembered that Sophie Asata had sent someone to secretly poison her. It could cause a pregnant woman to have a miscarriage without anyone knowing. If taken for a long time, both mother and child might die. Moreover, once an accident happened, the cause could not be investigated afterwards.
She had previously suspected that although Sophie Asatay was irritable and brainless, her emotions were all expressed openly. On the contrary, it was unlikely that she could come up with such a subtle way of poisoning someone, unless there was someone secretly pushing her!
It turned out that the poison came from Marsali Brent.
Sang Luo's thoughts turned to other things, but he didn't show it on his face. He drank the tea in one gulp, and praised it with the fragrance on his lips and teeth, "It is indeed a good tea!"
The moment she drank the tea, she immediately activated the innate power in her body to purify the poison.
Marsali Brent's smile deepened. "If Her Majesty likes it, please take all the tea in the palace. I don't really like tea."
A plan emerged in Sang Luo's mind, and he didn't refuse. "Thank you very much."
It was already late when she returned to the palace. After the two chatted for a few words, Sang Luo got up and left.
Halfway through the journey, she suddenly felt a stomachache and almost fainted.
Duotu rushed back upon hearing the news, "What happened? Wasn't everything fine before? How could such an accident happen all of a sudden?"
The witch doctor who came to diagnose the situation was also sweating profusely. "The specific situation is still under investigation. Your Majesty, please don't worry..."
"How can I not be anxious? That's my child! What a bunch of quacks!"
"The diagnosis is out." A witch doctor came out hurriedly.
…
When Sang Luo woke up, it was already late at night. Duotu was sitting beside the bed, holding her hand tightly, his face even paler than hers.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with me?"
Strange, could it be the poison? Her purification had already neutralized it. Besides, this poison was a chronic one that had been accumulating for years, so it couldn't have just suddenly erupted.
Sang Luo first ruled out poisoning.
Then the only possibility is...
"The talent of the baby in your belly is not very stable." Duotu gave the answer for her.
Sang Luo's first two pregnancies were of pure-blooded king beasts, so this situation had never occurred.
The most essential difference between a pure-blooded king beast and a mixed-blooded king beast is the stability of their bloodline.
Every new pure-blooded king beast that appears is also evolved from generations of mixed-blood king beasts. As long as the bloodline of the mixed-blood king beast is stable, it can be called a pure-blooded king beast.
But Duotu is a first-generation hybrid king beast, and his blood is extremely unstable. Once the unformed fetus in his belly is stimulated in some way, the chance of an accident will greatly increase.
What he was most worried about was not the child, but her.
The offspring's bloodline is powerful and unstable, and there is a high possibility that it will backfire on the mother.
The worst outcome is the death of both mother and child.
After listening to this, Sang Luo fell silent. Then she grabbed his hand and bit it hard, "Your child is the one that worries me the most!"
He and his cub were simply sent by God to torture her, right?
