Chapter 72 Love between a man and a concubine
"Okay, he asked you to take care of him personally, so you take good care of him and save me the trouble."
After Sang Luo walked away, he used up a bit of his mental energy and saw Marsali Brent enter the room. Duotu put his arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms.
"The Queen is here, why did His Majesty ask me to come over again?" Marsali Brent said in an aggrieved tone.
"She is pregnant and has been worried for so many days. I asked her to come and see her to put her mind at ease... The person I want to see most is naturally you." Duotu smiled gently and tenderly, which was very charming.
Sang Luo watched the scene of affection between the man and the woman, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly. This bastard man changed his expression so quickly. He was affectionate to her in the last second, and sweet-talking another woman in the next second.
It's all just false pretenses. He values his own interests the most, and no female can truly enter his heart.
Dotto could flirt with Marsali Brent, or he could play along with her.
In his eyes, she was essentially no different from Marshallie Brent.
The only special thing was that when she was pregnant, he would act out the whole thing, acting with sincerity and affection, giving her the partner mark, and risking his life to get the soul bone, almost losing his life.
Just for a pure-blooded heir who could help him consolidate his throne.
Sang Luo stretched, his figure disappeared, and he returned to Taoyuanwu to continue sleeping.
Inside the Beast King's bedroom.
Marsali Brent blushed shyly, and was secretly surprised. According to the information obtained by the informant, wasn't the Beast King seriously injured?
Her father sent her to the palace specifically to find out what was going on, but now it seems that this is not the case.
It was true that Duotu was injured, but not as seriously as the rumors had said. He even looked fine, chatting and laughing with her, and even had the energy to tease her. He didn't look like a seriously injured, dying patient at all...
"Your Majesty, have you recovered from your injuries?"
"It's just a small matter, no big deal. Marsali, are you worried about me?"
"Your Majesty is still talking! You really scared me. A few days ago, I received news from the Imperial Hospital that Your Majesty was seriously injured. I have always wanted to come and visit him, but the Beast King's bedroom is guarded by layers of guards, so I have never had the chance to enter. I thought Your Majesty..."
"If you don't do the whole show, how can you lure the snake out of its hole?"
"W-what?" Marshall Brent's pair of clear and beautiful autumn eyes widened slightly.
"Six months ago, the rebel forces on the border received a huge amount of military funding from an unknown source, which allowed them to grow rapidly in just a few months. Several rounds of encirclement and suppression efforts have failed to eradicate them."
"This king ordered the reconstruction of the empire's defense network, but the plan was leaked prematurely, resulting in heavy losses."
"Two months ago, the Corso Empire, in alliance with the other three Beast Kingdoms, took advantage of the battle between the Imperial Army and the rebels to secretly burn down the garrison's reserve energy storage."
"...A month ago, I went out secretly and was assassinated. Then three days later, I returned and was assassinated again by the same group of people."
Duotu chuckled, took out a black, simple token, and gently pondered it with his slender fingertips.
"Many of these matters are Imperial secrets, known only to the highest echelons of the Empire! Since there's a traitor within the Empire, use me as bait and cast a long line to catch the big fish hiding in the deepest depths!"
When Marsali Brent caught sight of the token, she suddenly clenched her hands in her sleeves, breaking out in a cold sweat. "Your Majesty, did you deliberately fake this serious injury for those people outside to see?"
"While I'm seriously injured and unconscious, those people will definitely take action. I've already set up numerous ambushes in the palace. If they dare to come tonight, no one will be able to escape!"
Lure the snake out of its hole and capture it in one fell swoop.
"Your Majesty, you have a great plan. Even I was deceived, let alone those people..." Marsali Brent stood up, smiling a little reluctantly. "I am feeling unwell and I am afraid I cannot serve you. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
After Duotu agreed, she left in a hurry, pretending to be calm, but her steps revealed a hint of panic.
Marshall Brent had no idea what Prince Brent was secretly plotting, but she knew her father had been secretly communicating with several foreign spies. He had also spent years and lavishly raised an elite force of 10,000 soldiers, each one a match for a hundred. They were all carefully selected and trained high-ranking warriors! On the battlefield, they were invincible! Perhaps finding an opportunity to overthrow the Arrans dynasty was a good idea!
She once came across the tokens used by the assassins, which were the same ones that Duotu had taken out...
Also, his father's entry into the palace this time was obviously for other purposes. It was very likely that he had fallen into Duotu's trap!
No, she has to tell her father about this right away!
After Marshall Brent left completely, Duotu's face turned cold instantly, and his eyes were as deep as the night. He staggered two steps, holding his chest, and could no longer hold on, and fainted on the ground.
In the middle of the night, Sang Luo suddenly opened his eyes and looked out the window.
There was some confusion in his eyes.
She had long sensed the unusual atmosphere in the Beast King Palace in recent days. Ever since Duotu came back from his serious injury, this strange atmosphere had taken root and spread quietly in secret, and tonight, it reached a peak.
She thought there would be chaos in the palace, but in the second half of the night, those auras quietly withdrew.
After pondering for a while, she returned to the Beast King's bedroom. She wanted to discuss things with Duotu, but she saw the man fainted on the ground, as if dead.
He was actually seriously injured, but he escaped death and saved his life.
When he spoke to her with a smile, Sang Luo realized that he was forcing himself. Perhaps he didn't want to make her worry, or perhaps he was afraid of being targeted by someone with ulterior motives when he was at his weakest. Sang Luo was more inclined to the latter.
She carried the man back to the bed, and the next moment, she appeared on the roof of the Council Hall again.
This is the highest building in the Beast King Palace.
You can overlook the entire palace from below.
Sang Luo released his mental power and found the group of men in black hiding in the dark. They were extremely powerful, all above the seventh level, and even the leader was at the peak of the semi-king realm.
She frowned and was about to take action, but the group of people seemed to have suddenly received other orders and retreated in the darkness like a tide, disappearing without a trace, as if they had never been there.
Sang Luo waited for a long time, until dawn, and only returned to Taoyuanwu after making sure that the group of people had completely left and would never come back.
Duotu slept for another half a month before his body had recovered to a large extent.
He got out of bed, took a cigarette and lit it.
The smoke blurred my eyes and eyebrows.
This kind of smoke has analgesic and hallucinogenic effects, which made him feel much better.
He flicked the ash off his cigarette and turned on his computer.
Looking at the various body values on the display screen, it was Sang Luo's. They were all within the normal range of green.
The frown on his face relaxed a lot.
In order to ensure that there are no accidents during childbirth for pregnant women, a physical examination system is implanted in her optical brain the moment her pregnancy is confirmed, which scans various values in her body at all times to determine her physical condition.
One copy is from the Imperial Hospital and the other copy is from him.
After smoking half a cigarette, Duotu remembered something, put out the cigarette, and went to Taoyuanwu.
