Chapter 72: Mutual Affection
“Alright, he asked you to take care of him personally, so take good care of him, so I don’t have to worry.”
After Sang Luo walked away, she separated a wisp of mental energy and saw Marshall Brent enter the room, and Duo Tu embraced her waist, pulling her into his arms.
“The Queen is already here, why did Your Majesty call me over?” Marshall Brent's tone was aggrieved.
“She's pregnant, and she's been worried for so many days, so I let her come over to see and feel relieved… The one I want to see the most is naturally you.” Duo Tu smiled gently and affectionately, extremely seductive.
Sang Luo watched the scene of mutual affection, her lips twitching slightly. This dog of a man changes his face really fast. One second he's deeply in love with her, and the next he can whisper sweet nothings to another female.
It's all hypocrisy. What he values most is his own interests. No female can truly enter his heart.
Duo Tu can play along with Marshall Brent, and he can also feign compliance with her.
In his eyes, she and Marshall Brent are essentially no different.
The only special thing is that she is pregnant with a child. He will put on a full act, playing it sincerely, giving her the mate mark, and risking his life to retrieve the soul bone, almost losing his life.
It's just for the sake of a pure-blooded offspring that can help him consolidate his throne.
Sang Luo stretched lazily, her figure disappearing, and returned to Peach Blossom Bay to continue sleeping soundly.
Inside the Beast King's bedroom.
Marshall Brent blushed shyly, and was secretly surprised. According to the information obtained from the informant, wasn't the Beast King seriously injured?
Her father specifically sent her into the palace to find out the situation, but now it seems that this is not the case.
Duo Tu was injured, but not as seriously as the rumors said. His complexion was even quite good, and he was talking and laughing with her, even in the mood to tease her. He didn't look like a seriously injured and dying patient at all…
“Has Your Majesty recovered from his injuries?”
“It's just a small matter, it's nothing. Is Marshall worried about me?”
“Your Majesty is saying that! You really scared me. I got the news from the Imperial Hospital a few days ago that Your Majesty was seriously injured. I wanted to come and visit all the time, but the Beast King's bedroom has layers of guards, and I never had a chance to come in. I thought Your Majesty…”
“How can you lure the snake out of its hole if you don't put on a full act?”
“Wh-what?” Marshall Brent's pair of clear and charming autumn eyes widened slightly.
“Half a year ago, the rebel army on the border received a huge amount of military funding from an unknown source, which enabled them to develop and grow rapidly in just a few months. Several encirclements and suppressions failed to eliminate them.”
“This king ordered the reconstruction of the imperial defense network, but the plan was leaked in advance, resulting in heavy losses.”
“Two months ago, the Corso Empire, together with the other three great beast kingdoms, took advantage of the imperial army's battle with the rebel army and secretly sent people to burn down the reserve energy warehouse of the garrison.”
“…A month ago, I secretly went out and was assassinated. Then, three days later, on the return trip, I was assassinated by the same group of people.”
Duo Tu chuckled, took out a black, ancient token, and gently pondered it with his slender fingertips.
“Many cases, all involving imperial secrets, can only be known by the high-level officials of the empire! Since there are traitors within the empire, then I will use myself as bait, release a long line, and catch the big fish hidden in the deepest place!”
Marshall Brent caught a glimpse of the token, and the hands in her sleeves suddenly clenched tightly, exuding cold sweat, “Your Majesty's serious injury this time was deliberately pretended for those outside to see?”
“While I am seriously injured and unconscious, those people cannot possibly not take action. I have already set up layers of ambushes in the palace. As long as they dare to come tonight, none of them will want to leave!”
Lure the snake out of its hole and capture it in one fell swoop.
“Your Majesty has a good plan, even I was deceived, let alone those people…” Marshall Brent got up, smiling somewhat reluctantly, “I am feeling a little unwell, I am afraid I cannot serve you, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me.”
After Duo Tu agreed, she hurriedly left, pretending to be calm, but her steps faintly revealed panic.
Marshall Brent was not clear about what Prince Brent was secretly plotting, but she knew that her father had recently been secretly contacting several foreign spies, and his subordinates had even raised an elite army of ten thousand men at great expense for many years, each of whom could withstand a hundred! They were all high-level death warriors selected and trained! It was not impossible to find an opportunity to let Alans change dynasties!
She once ran into them, and the tokens used by those death warriors were the kind that Duo Tu took out…
And her father's entry into the palace this time was obviously for other purposes. He was very likely to have fallen into Duo Tu's trap and walked right into it!
No, she had to tell her father about this quickly!
After Marshall Brent left completely, Duo Tu's expression instantly cooled down, his eyes deep like night. He covered his chest and staggered two steps, unable to hold on any longer, and fainted to the ground.
In the middle of the night, Sang Luo suddenly opened her eyes and looked out the window.
Her eyes were somewhat doubtful.
She had long felt the unusual atmosphere in the Beast King's Palace these past few days. Since Duo Tu returned seriously injured, this strange atmosphere had taken root in the dark and quietly spread, reaching a height tonight.
She thought that there would be great 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, intending to discuss it with Duo Tu, but saw the man fainted on the ground, as if he were dead.
He was actually very seriously injured, escaped death, and picked up a life.
When he spoke to her with a smile, Sang Luo noticed that he was holding on. Perhaps he didn't want her to 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 bed. In the next instant, she flashed to the roof of the Hall of Political Affairs.
This is the highest point of the Beast King's Palace building.
From below, you can overlook the entire palace.
Sang Luo spread out her mental energy and found the group of black-clothed people hiding in the dark. Their strength was extremely strong, all above the seventh level, and even the leader was at the peak of the Half-King realm.
She frowned and her heart trembled. Just as she was about to take action, the group of people seemed to suddenly receive other orders, retreating like a tide in the darkness, disappearing without a trace, as if they had never been there.
Sang Luo waited for a long time, until dawn broke, and after confirming that the group of people had completely left and would not return, she returned to Peach Blossom Bay.
Duo Tu slept for another full half month before his body barely recovered most of it.
He got out of bed, took out a cigarette, and lit it.
The smoke curled up, blurring his eyebrows and eyes.
This kind of cigarette has the effect of relieving pain and causing hallucinations, making his body feel much better.
He flicked the ash and opened the optical brain.
Looking at the various physical values on the display screen, it was Sang Luo's. They were all within the normal range of green fluctuations.
His tightly frowned brows relaxed for the most part.
In order to ensure that there would be no accidents during the pregnant woman's delivery, at the moment of confirming her pregnancy, a physical examination system was implanted in her optical brain to scan her various physical values at all times to determine her physical condition.
One copy at the Imperial Hospital, and one copy here with him.
After smoking half a cigarette, Duo Tu remembered something, put out the cigarette, and went to Peach Blossom Bay.
