Chapter 213 Fei Yuan's Old Love
Sang Luo looked at him critically and shook her head, "What a pity! When I look for a beast husband, I prefer a good-looking man."
"What do you mean? I'm ugly!" Ji Lijun was originally smiling, but upon hearing this, he instantly became angry and said, "I'm also a famous handsome man in the sea area!"
Lou Xianyue frowned, "Stop talking nonsense. I wonder why the old Beast King is in seclusion? I remember he was still strong a few years ago. Could it be that he is trying to reach a new realm?"
"Apart from this, what else could it be? It's nothing more than that the old man is nearing the end of his life and wants to go into seclusion to break through to a higher realm and prolong his life." Ji Lijun shrugged.
Sang Luo's eyes lit up, "I do have a valuable gift to exchange with the Old Beast King of the North Sea. He definitely needs a Wheel Pill."
"Whirl-rotating pill?" Ji Lijun was dumbfounded. "You really have this thing!"
Sang Luo was afraid that he wouldn't believe it, so he took out the Wheel Pill. Anyone who knew the value of the item would know whether it was real or fake.
Ji Lijun was so shocked that he stuttered, "Where... are you from?"
"Where did it come from? North Sea Beast King, don't worry too much. It must have come through legitimate channels. How about using this Wheel of Rebirth Pill as an exchange?"
"Of course I can." Ji Lijun pretended to be calm, but his slightly trembling hands revealed the turmoil in his heart.
Sang Luo heard from Lou Xianyue that he almost lost his life the last time he tried the Lunzhuan Pill.
Fei Yuan's craftsmanship is not very stable.
The new generation of rotating pills have divine patterns, and there is a 99% chance that there will be no problem, but no one has tried it yet... Sang Luo is still a little worried, so it would be better to find someone else to test the medicine.
Just in case, she used the jade letter to ask Fei Yuan if he could make another rotating pill.
After waiting for a while, the other party replied slowly.
"Yes, with the recipe, refining the pill isn't a problem, but finding the ingredients will take some time. I can refine another one before you give birth to this one."
That's a relief.
"Grandfather will definitely agree, but it's such a big matter, I have to go back and report it first. I will give you an answer soon." Ji Lijun left in a hurry.
"Wait a minute." Lou Xianyue stopped him, "Please ask the North Sea Beast King to swear an oath to heaven and earth that this matter cannot be told to outsiders. Please also keep our origins secret from the old Beast King. If he agrees to the deal, you can use this item to contact him."
Lou Xianyue gave him a communication conch, which could only be used by two specific people to communicate.
"Okay." Ji Lijun accepted it readily, swore an oath to heaven and earth, and left.
Sang Luo stayed in the Sea Emperor Palace for half a month before returning to the Phoenix Emperor Palace in the East Continent. Fei Yuan had been acting very abnormally these past few days. He knew she was back but didn't come to look for her. She didn't know what he was busy with.
Unfortunately, all he left on her was a tracking mark, so he could only track her unilaterally. She had no idea where he was or what he was doing.
Sang Luo sat in the pavilion of the imperial garden, eating spiritual fruits to relieve his boredom.
There was a loud shouting coming from not far ahead.
"You bunch of treacherous servants, get out of here and don't stop me!"
"Ran Ying, you really can't go in!"
"Why won't you let me in? I've been to the palace countless times and have often visited this imperial garden. Why won't you let me in now? That doesn't make sense!"
"His Majesty has specifically ordered that the Imperial Garden be used exclusively for that noblewoman to stroll around and relax. No outsiders are allowed to disturb her."
"Yes, that noblewoman is pregnant with your majesty's heir, and her body is extremely precious now. We absolutely cannot afford any mishaps. I saw her just go to the garden pavilion to rest. If you really want to go, please wait until she leaves, and then come to the garden. Please don't embarrass us."
"Hmph! She's just a pregnant female. This imperial garden doesn't belong to her! How overbearing and tyrannical! How could His Majesty like such a female!"
Sang Luo's head hurt from the noise, and he asked the waiter beside him, "Who's yelling outside?"
"Reporting to the noble lady, this is a noble lady from the Qingluan tribe, named Ran Ying."
The waiter explained, "The Qingluan Clan is an ancient indigenous noble family. They are considered distant relatives of the Feng Clan and are honored guests among all other clans."
"This noblewoman Ran Ying has always been arrogant and domineering. I will drive her away right now!"
Sang Luo, "She is a royal relative after all. It would be bad to chase her away. She just wants to visit the garden, right? Let her in."
Then, several servants came in, surrounding a young female in goose yellow clothes.
Ran Ying strode to the pavilion, crossed her arms over her chest, and said in a very arrogant tone, "Are you the female who is pregnant with the phoenix seed?"
“…” It turned out that it was directed at her.
If I had known this earlier, I would have just chased him away.
Sang Luo sat up straight and replied, "Exactly. I don't know why you're looking for me. I guess we haven't met before, have we?"
Ran Ying looked at her critically, with great disdain, "So it's you. I thought you were some wonderful person, but you're not even as pretty as Sister Meiji..."
She might have wanted to criticize Sang Luo's appearance, but looking at her face, she couldn't bring herself to say the rest of the sentence. She changed the subject and looked at her flat belly, scoffing softly, "His Majesty the Phoenix Emperor has been childless for hundreds of years, how could you be pregnant so soon? Maybe it's a bastard from somewhere."
"Noble Ran Ying, you can't say such things!" The servants she brought with her hurried to stop her.
Ran Ying, however, didn't care at all and flicked her fingertips. "I'm not talking nonsense. There are precedents like this throughout the dynasties. Mothers who wanted to use their children to gain status by pretending to be the heirs of the throne used bastards born to guards and lovers as the heirs of the throne. Once discovered, they would lose their lives."
Sang Luo turned around and looked at the servant beside him, "Did you record everything you said?"
The servant took out a photo stone and said, "Every word Ran Ying said is recorded here."
Ran Ying's expression suddenly changed, "You! What do you mean!"
Sang Luo stood up and walked down the steps, looking down at her and questioning her, "Is the baby in my belly your Majesty's biological child? Your Majesty knows better than anyone else. You, an outsider who came from nowhere, have slandered the noble royal heir without any evidence, saying that he is not your Majesty's child. This is extremely disrespectful."
She looked at Ran Ying, whose face was pale, and gently stroked her belly. She smiled suddenly, "If His Majesty knew that you desecrated his own blood..."
The servant on the right side was very perceptive and said, "Anyone who dares to slander the prince will be beheaded according to the law of the country. Even if it is a female, everything will be taken away and exiled to the frontier, never to return to the city."
Ran Ying was so frightened that she almost fell to the ground. "No, I didn't mean that. I just said it casually..."
Sang Luo waved her hand, and the guards dragged her away and threw her out of the palace, never to be allowed to enter the palace again.
Sang Luo's good mood for the whole day was gone. Thinking of something, she asked Nanny Fang, who was serving beside her, "Who is the Meiji that Ran Ying mentioned?"
Old Nanny Fang seemed a little embarrassed, but she still said, "Mei Ji's original name was Le Xia. She is a pure-blooded female king beast of the Qingluan tribe, a true king. Because she loves Your Majesty, she voluntarily gave up her honor and entered the palace as a concubine."
"Oh, Fei Yuan's concubine?"
"She's not just an ordinary concubine. I heard that she was by His Majesty's side when he was still young and hadn't ascended the throne. She was His Majesty's most favored female back then, the most favored of all the concubines in the harem, and enjoyed unlimited glory."
