Through the book: The villain’s son’s stand-in

Since entering Capital Star, Gu Cheng and Pei Mingxu's engagement has been on the fast track and preparations have begun in full swing.

On this day, they were writing invitations, and a piece of news was handed over by Pei Mingxu.

"Look at it."

Gu Cheng raised his eyes, and immediately his eyes were fixed on the light screen, and he blurted out: "Lei Zhan escaped?!"

Pei Mingxu nodded, and after grinding the ink for him for a while, he briefly told Gu Cheng the cause and effect.

"The orcs controlled by the brain worms were executed. Lei Zhan wanted to throw dirty water on us when he returned home, but our informant gained Lei Lu's trust and informed him about the brain worms."

"Lei Lu didn't intend to take care of it at first, but later he became more active than anyone else. He even introduced us to the Prime Minister of the Crocodile Beast Empire."

"With their mutual cooperation, as soon as Lei Zhan came back, he was told that he still needed to be tested for infection."

"Lei Zhan had no choice but to panic and claim to have a day off. In fact, he escaped from the Crocodile Beast Empire that night and was caught by the people we were watching."

Gu Cheng listened carefully to his analysis, and his hands kept moving, one stroke after another like flowing water.

"Where is the king of the Crocodile Beast Empire? Why is the prime minister presiding over it?"

Gu Cheng put the written invitation aside and asked after listening.

Pei Mingxu did not hide anything. After putting the invitation aside to dry, he slowly replied: "The Prime Minister and Lei Lu launched a coup. The king was diagnosed with brain worm infection and is currently resting in a separate hospital."

rest.

Gu Cheng pursed his lips and tasted these two words carefully, with a knowing smile in his eyes.

This rest may last a lifetime.

"How is the relationship between the Prime Minister and Lei Lu?"

Pei Mingxu obviously paused this time, and when he raised his eyes, he happened to meet Gu Cheng's eyes.

In an instant, without any need for words, they understood the meaning in each other's eyes.

Pei Mingxu's handsome eyebrows were curved, and he raised his hand to lift the broken hair on Gu Cheng's forehead to his ears and temples.

"You guessed it right. After the coup, the Prime Minister and Lei Lu started killing each other."

"The Prime Minister has many powerful people under his command, but Lei Lu..." Pei Mingxu clicked his tongue, "You will never guess what kind of power he has in his hands."

"Oh?" Gu Cheng raised his voice, put down his pen, leaned on the desk and looked sideways at Pei Mingxu: "Then I'm really interested in guessing."

"uh-huh."

Pei Mingxu had a smile on his face and crossed his arms, waiting for his answer with interest.

Gu Cheng frowned pretending to think, and then accurately said the name of that force: "Tree Vine Empire."

"Ke Jin told you?"

Pei Mingxu opened his eyes slightly in surprise and thought for a moment before spitting out the answer.

Gu Cheng shook his head and adjusted his appetite before saying, "You have actually guessed the relationship between Ke Jin and Lei Lu."

"Some ideas."

Gu Cheng shared his guess without hesitation: "The first time I saw Lei Lu, I thought he looked familiar."

"It's not that he looks familiar just to get closer, it's that he has a familiar aura about him."

"Later, when you were planning to go home to see your mother, I suddenly remembered something that happened a long time ago."

Gu Cheng glanced at him: "It's what you think."

"After seeing the information, I remembered that Ke Jin had a cat before. It was a very arrogant cat. After Ke Jin brought it back, no one was allowed to touch it, and it only clung to Ke Jin."

"If I string together a few more timelines, it'll probably be right."

Gu Cheng came to the conclusion: "So, the little kitten that escaped is Lei Lu, right?"

Pei Mingxu nodded dumbly: "It was also in the middle of the night yesterday that I got the news. I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to sleep after hearing it, so I didn't tell you."

"Why can't I sleep? Ke Jin has been missing people all these years. Lei Lu is just a bit special in terms of status, but it's not like there are no princes and princesses who want to marry Ke Jin."

Gu Cheng was very unimpressed. He picked up the pen again and lowered it a little.

"The two of them have a child."

pat!

Suddenly hearing the news, Gu Cheng pressed the brush in his hand uncontrollably, leaving a dark ink mark on the white paper.

"W-what! Children! Plants and animals can have children!"

Pei Mingxu didn't answer his question, but just reached over, took out the brush that Gu Cheng had subconsciously held in his hand, and placed it on the inkstone.

He took Gu Cheng's hand without any hurry and led him to sit on the small sofa on one side. He took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the little ink splashed on his fingers.

"Yes, I can have children."

Pei Mingxu first answered Gu Cheng's question and then explained: "This is actually due to Lei Lu's calico cat bloodline."

"The pregnancy rate of this bloodline is very high, and both men and women can get pregnant. When there is no reproductive isolation, the pregnancy rate can even reach 60%."

"For the royal family whose pregnancy rate is only 3%, this increases the probability of reproduction by a full 20 times. Even if it is reduced by half, it is a tenfold increase. Therefore, if the royal family wants to have heirs, they will often choose and have this method. Bloodline orc union.”

At this time, Gu Cheng really felt that he was a little ignorant.

"However, I didn't expect that with just one night, such a low pregnancy rate, and reproductive isolation, they could still succeed."

Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you envious?"

"No." Pei Mingxu's face darkened, and the smile in his eyes suddenly disappeared. He raised Gu Cheng's hand and kissed the back of his hand gently: "We can't have children."

"I know, I will only have you by my side."

Gu Cheng gave a straightforward and affirmative promise, and the face of his lover opposite him became a little better.

"So, according to the information, Lei Lu refuses outsiders to get close to him because he is pregnant and breastfeeding."

"Yes."

Pei Mingxu poured himself a bowl of tea, and then poured a cup for Gu Cheng, and then drank tea by himself.

"I guess, if the influence of the brain worm wasn't so terrible, in order to protect the children who are still in their infancy, he would definitely continue to maintain that attitude of not having anything to do with himself."

After briefly stating his point of view, Pei Mingxu suddenly said to him: "You should send Ke Jin a message today. I believe he must have many thoughts in his heart and want to talk to you."

Gu Cheng picked up the tea cup and took a sip. After hearing the last sentence, Gu Cheng suddenly raised his eyes and looked up with a hint of slyness in his eyes: "Aren't you jealous?"

Pei Mingxu said generously: "You are just friends."

Hearing this, Gu Cheng rolled his eyes in his heart.

Pei Mingxu's character determines that he is not a generous person.

Especially knowing that his time was running out, it was even more impossible for him to let Gu Cheng out of his sight for a long time.

Now it is only because Ke Jin has completely lost the possibility of being with him that he is so generous.

"Then you may have to sleep by yourself today."

Gu Cheng continued following his words, but the expression on Pei Mingxu's face suddenly froze.

"It's just a small thing, it won't take that long."

It's only around 9 a.m., so they can't communicate for more than ten hours at a time.

Gu Cheng pursed his lips and smiled, then took another sip of tea.

The slight astringency of the tea soaks into the mouth, and the unique flavor and texture make your lips and teeth delicious.

Gu Cheng narrowed his eyes, looking very uncomfortable.

He knew it.
