Chapter 229: Love Poison
Sang Luo's life expectancy is now ridiculously long. Five years, ten years... that's acceptable, but compared to her previous pregnancies which took a few months or at most a year, this pregnancy just sounds tiring.
Nezha has only been pregnant for three years!
"Carrying your child is exhausting."
"One pregnancy is worth ten. It saves you the pain of childbirth and is much more cost-effective."
“…” That being said, it is somewhat comforting.
The power gained from giving birth to this child would be absolutely immense, and she was looking forward to it very much.
"Your Majesty, Noble Lady Le Xia has summoned you. Would you like to meet her now?" a servant announced.
Sang Luo glared at him with her almond eyes and reached out to grab his ear, "Are you trying to be a jerk again?"
"Hey! Luo'er, there are so many servants watching us, how can you let go?" Several servants in the hall seemed to be working with their heads down, but they were all secretly glancing at him. After all, he was a Beast King, he still had to save his face!
Sang Luo let go of his hand in dismay, rubbed his ears, and said softly, "Your Majesty has been tired these past few days. Let me rub your head and back..."
He whispered, "Why did you call her to the Yangxin Palace?"
"You've always wondered why I kept her in the palace. Today, I'm letting you witness this wonderful show with your own eyes." Fei Yuan said, "It's time, considering the date."
Sang Luo didn't know what Fei Yuan wanted to do, but she still did as he said. She got up and went behind a screen in the inner hall. Her mental power spread out, and nothing could escape her eyes and ears.
Le Xia, who had not been seen for many days, was standing at the door of the palace, tidying her clothes and hair, her face full of anticipation, yet also seemed a little nervous.
Le Xia's complexion was indeed much better than when they first met. Although she was beautiful at that time, there seemed to be a faint aura of death lingering around her body. Fei Yuan's words that she was secretly poisoned at that time were probably true, so Le Xia rushed to the palace to meet Fei Yuan, and used this as a bargaining chip to let Fei Yuan help her detoxify.
Le Xia was still wearing a veil, but it was extremely thin, half transparent and half hidden.
Sang Luo was surprised to find that the wound on her face had healed.
Was it Fei Yuan who cured her?
Looking at her again, she was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and her face was flushed with a healthy blush... Fei Yuan said that he didn't care, but he had taken good care of her in the palace during this period!
"Noble Lady Le Xia, His Majesty invites you in."
The servant came out to report.
A blush appeared on Le Xia's face. She had been in the palace for so long, and this was the first time Fei Yuan had taken the initiative to call her over. Thinking back to the past few months since she entered the palace...Le Xia was extremely dissatisfied. She thought she could capture Fei Yuan with her old love, but she didn't expect that a female from a foreign race would appear out of nowhere and become pregnant with Fei Yuan's child.
She successfully alienated the two of them and originally thought that she could successfully conceive Fei Yuan's child. If even an unknown foreign female could get pregnant, there was no reason why she couldn't. As long as she could give birth to a Phoenix heir, it would be a great help to her!
But unexpectedly, these days, Fei Yuan said that in order to protect her, he arranged for her to receive treatment in a side hall and also assigned guards to watch over her.
She stayed in the side hall all day and couldn't come in or out freely, let alone hang around Fei Yuan and flirt with him.
Today Fei Yuan unexpectedly sent someone to summon her. Le Xia dressed up carefully, imagining that the two of them were making love in the palace... Just thinking about making love with a top-notch man like Fei Yuan made her feel so envious that her legs went weak.
"Thank you for the message. This is a reward for you." Le Xia casually threw a few crystals to the servants.
The servant confiscated it and said, "Your Highness, please come in quickly and don't keep His Majesty waiting."
Le Xia didn't care. She walked into the Yangxin Palace and saw that the servants had all left. Fei Yuan was wearing a loose-fitting robe and was reviewing documents at his desk. Her heart beat faster, "Your Majesty~"
The voice is so gentle that it can squeeze out water.
Fei Yuan looked at her, curled his lips and smiled, "How are you feeling lately?"
Le Xia was dazzled by his handsome and graceful smile. A fire almost exploded in her chest. She swallowed hard, her mind went blank, and she didn't catch the dark look that flashed across the man's eyes.
"My wounds and poisons have all healed, thanks to Your Majesty's treatment. Your Majesty's medical skills are truly becoming more and more sophisticated..." She smiled shyly, raising her hand to touch her veil. "I wonder if it's because the Phoenix Palace nourishes people, or if it's because I'm so happy to see Your Majesty, but the old wounds on my face are slowly healing. Would Your Majesty like to see me again?"
As she spoke, she took off her veil, revealing a rosy and charming face.
Sang Luo couldn't help but be stunned. She was indeed a pure-blooded female king beast of the Qingluan clan. After the old wound on her face healed, Le Xia was definitely the most beautiful female she had ever seen in the beast world. No wonder Fei Yuan was so kind to her in the past.
Le Xia was also quite confident in her looks. From childhood to adulthood, she had never failed to capture a male. So what if the Beast King was so powerful? He was destined to be her slave.
"Oh? Are you really all well? Come here and let me take a look."
Le Xia chuckled and walked forward, falling into his arms.
Fei Yuan reached out and stroked her soft and delicate face, his fingers slowly falling to her chest, "Here..."
"Your Majesty, you are so bad - ah!" Before Le Xia could even feel shy, she suddenly let out a scream.
A dagger appeared in Fei Yuan's hand at some point and stabbed into her chest.
Le Xia's eyes widened in disbelief and fear, unable to speak due to the pain. Fei Yuan's faint voice came to her ears, "In all these years, I have never doubted you. I didn't expect that person to hide the knife so deeply, right next to me."
With a cut of the knife tip, a fat poisonous insect with a blood-red body and half the thickness of a little finger was dug out from her heart. It was twisting its body frantically, trying to escape.
Fei Yuan pulled out the dagger and released Le Xia, who was trembling and convulsing all over. With a wave of his finger, the poisonous insect fell into a disc-shaped magic weapon. Then he cut his wrist, and a dead poisonous insect flowed out along with the red blood. This was a baby poisonous insect, which was exactly half the size of the mother poisonous insect.
The dead insect also fell into the plate.
The mother Gu instantly opened her mouth and swallowed the dead baby Gu.
The next moment, the mother insect exploded and died, turning into a pool of black blood.
Fei Yuan's body was poisoned not just with one kind but with two.
The first one was a secret poison that had troubled him for hundreds of years. It was a poison specially prepared for him by the person behind the scenes. It chronically damaged his body, leaving him weak for a long time. He had been seeking medical treatment and medicine for a hundred years, but had not found a way to break it.
The other type is this pair of love poisons, which will make a male extremely obsessed with a female, and his guard will be reduced to the lowest level.
The person behind the scenes took advantage of Le Xia's vanity and ambition and made her his weapon. After poisoning Fei Yuan, he continued to poison him secretly for decades.
Fei Yuan wanted to know who was behind this.
He pressed a few acupuncture points on Le Xia's body to stop the bleeding. "Who gave you this pair of poisonous insects back then?"
