Chapter 214 - 214 You have gotten heavier Part I
214 You have gotten heavier Part I
“If that was the dragon heir, you, as an empress, truly deserve death.”
A calm voice came from the ruler of Da Yang. The royal doctor and the maids kneeled down and broke into an uproar, asking for mercy.
“But zhen will never do that to you.”
Even without the death penalty, an empress who could not protect the emperor’s children and women was not fit to hold her title.
At the interpretation, the servants’ cries increase in volume. Bai Yu made no sound at all. A lump in her throat made it impossible to utter even a word.
“Rise.”
Despite his permission, Bai Yu could not stand up. Her strength was sucked out of her body the moment she saw that Qing Pin was indeed pregnant with Ouyang Feilong’s child.
Why… Was she not beautiful enough?
Was she not obedient enough?
.....
Was she not good enough?
Or was he only satisfied when she was wicked?
“Royal doctor.”
“I am here, Your Majesty.”
“Within tonight, determine this guniang’s age of the pregnancy and send the answer to the Empress’ palace. If you can’t, then prepare to bury yourself after her.”
As soon as his firm voice ceased, the Empress’ smaller body was swiftly carried in the Emperor’s arms. Powerful golden eyes swept through everyone in front of him. “No one is allowed to reveal what happened here. For every word that gets out, zhen shall execute one person from the speaker’s family.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Ouyang Feilong paid no mind to how the servants were intimidated by the menacing air around him, which was different from when he had first calmly arrived. His eyes were focused only on the beautiful face of his beloved woman, now streaked with tears.
The little fool was gravely misunderstanding him!
With a martial arts technique, he brought that person in his arms back to the familiar palace. Bai Yu did not put up a resistance because she had yet to decide whether to feel guilty or furious at this man. As the mother of the nation, her duty and her heart could not be more contradicted.
“It’s my fau—Mmmm.”
As soon as she was put down on the mattress, her red lips tried to speak. Ouyang Feilong, frustrated at the person who put duty above all else with eyes full of tears, gripped her two cheeks with one hand, robbing her of the ability to speak.
“If you say a word, zhen will execute Bai He.”
Bai Yu’s eyes widened. She had forgotten how she should show responsibility as his empress.
“Domphm mhm mnuhmf th hmph!”
“Hm?”
“Mmmm.” Bai Yu tried to peel his hand off; however, the strength of her two hands could not compare to Ouyang Feilong’s one. “Donnn do immmph.”
“Little fool.” Ouyang Feilong raised an eyebrow, clearly mocking her. “You don’t make sense at all.”
“Mfmmph mu fuh!”
“Haah.” He sighed. “If you can’t speak properly, then don’t.”
Then, he released his hand from her soft cheeks. Bai Yu opened her mouth, intending to berate him, but was instantly silenced by the other person’s mouth, who did not want to continue the conversation.
“Mmm…mm…” She protested Ouyang Feilong’s selfish action. He knew they were in a serious situation, yet he still had the mood to tease her with his lips. He sucked and nipped, never seeming to stop while at the same time not intruding inside.
Thumb! His broad shoulder was pounded by her smaller fist. She knew she was powerless, still, she resisted his captivating touch. She did not want to share these lips with anyone!
“Don’t…Mmm…No…uh…”
She had hit him. She had tried to stop him. Yet Ouyang Feilong heeded none of them. It was when she could not keep her breath that he finally stopped sucking her lips and parted them away. Her mouth right now must be swollen and ugly.
“You!”
“Have you understood now how frustrating it is when no one listens to you?”
“But…”
“You want to try it again?”
Bai Yu immediately covered her mouth.
“Then listen well. That is not zhen’s child.”
“Yes?”
“Zhen can’t even remember what family she’s from. How can zhen make her pregnant?”
Bai Yu frowned. Her eyes stared at the person who suddenly said those words with an accusing gaze.
Ouyang Feilong flicked his finger onto the space between her brows, making a loud ‘snap.’
“You don’t believe zhen?”
“If it’s not Your Majesty, then who can it be when…Ow!” She muttered as she rubbed her forehead. However, the villainess did not give up. “…When Your Majesty is the only man in the royal palace who can touch her!”
“Then you must remember that you are the only woman in the royal palace that zhen touches.”
Bai Yu pressed her lips together tightly. She could clearly feel it as the heat crept up to her face. Somehow, she was embarrassed in the middle of a serious conversation.
“Your Majesty, this is Royal Doctor Li.”
A voice from outside finally drew Ouyang Feilong’s gaze away from her. Soon, the royal doctor who was in Qing Pin’s palace came in, soaking in sweat. He seemed to have been running here in a hurry.
“Your Majesty, I have determined that Qing Pin was two months pregnant.”
“Do you know the precise date?”
“It is this day, Your Majesty.”
Ouyang Feilong nodded toward Bai Yu, then a small piece of paper was handed to her. She had only taken it and had yet to open it; the royal doctor was dismissed. The two of them were left alone in the palace once again.
“Open it.”
Bai Yu obediently opened it up. She knew he wanted to know the age of the pregnancy, as she had the same thought as well. However, she did not go as far as to try to find the exact date like him.
“How’s it?”
Bai Yu looked at the written date and time and tried to recall where Ouyang Feilong was that night. There were fewer than a handful of nights where he would not stay the night with her. Suddenly, help came without Bai Yu realizing that Ouyang Feilong had his shadow guard prepare it before he had come to see her.
“This is a record of zhen’s daily activities.” Bai Yu took the record to find the date that matched what was written on the paper. “See? Zhen was with you that night.”
Bai Yu said nothing. Her eyes followed the record that reflected Ouyang Feilong’s words.
“If you don’t believe zhen, you can see a record of the time zhen enters and exits the inner court, as well as a record of the consorts’ service.”
“No need, Your Majesty.” She hurriedly objected as she handed the record back to the person who kept looking at her with a teasing smile.
“A while ago, someone was asking for punishment from zhen.” His voice, tinted with laughter, was heard as a pair of arms came to pull her into an embrace. “Should zhen punish you all night, then?”
Bai Yu slapped his shoulder for still being in a jolly mood. “How could Your Majesty stay calm when such a thing happened? If that’s not Your Majesty’s child, then someone’s committing an act of insolence against Your Majesty’s honor.”
“Zhen only cares about you.”
He had gone to that palace because he cared about her feelings. He feared that she would misunderstand him, as she had a while ago. That woman’s life or death never concerned him in the slightest.
“As the empress, I cannot let this slide.” Bai Yu could not remain careless. A consort having an affair was a major problem that would taint the name of the dynasty if someone heard of it.
Ouyang Feilong watched Bai Yu’s beautiful face turn solemn as she sank into her own thoughts, completely ignoring him. He pulled her slender body to sit on his lap as he whispered a question.
“And what does zhen’s smart empress think should be the next step, hm?”
“We have to keep everything that happened tonight a secret.”
“Mhm.” He nuzzled his nose against her fragrant neck. “What’s next?”
“Secretly find that adulterer.”
“Very clever.” He softly whispered as he pressed kisses onto her pure white skin, leaving a trace of marks from her neck to her shoulder.
“Your Majesty…” Bai Yu tried to refuse his touch with her low voice. With this state of her body, she could not serve him for fear of affecting the children in her belly, even though the bump had not grown too large.
“Zhen will be gentle.”
“But…” Bai Yu pressed her lips together tightly. Hesitation was clear in her eyes.
“I miss you. Don’t you miss me, furen?”
When he acted like this…how could she continue to refuse him?!
