Chapter 951: Find Them
Gu Bailu shook her head. “I didn’t have time to kill it. Besides, killing it would be too eye-catching. The emperor would definitely send out a wanted notice all over the country. I only cut off some calf meat.”
Feng Qingtian pinched her face. “There are benefits to eating dragon meat. You aside, who did you take with you?”
“Lian’er.” Gu Bailu smiled.
“Well done.”
Feng Qingtian praised her. “Should I tell the emperor about this?”
“Make him fall out with Shao Zun?”
“Shao Zun cut the emperor’s dragon to spoil his woman. He probably won’t tolerate that.” Feng Qingtian was still expressionless, but his dark eyes were playful.
He was happy to annoy Su Shenfan.
Gu Bailu jumped into his arms. “My husband understands me best…”
“Did you give him the dragon meat?”
“Of course. How could I forget to give him such delicious food?”
Feng Qingtian touched her belly. “I won’t say anything about today. Don’t do anything so dangerous when you’re pregnant. I’ll deal with Xiao Jingyun.”
“How’s your plan coming along?”
“It’s about time. I’m just waiting for the Crimson Spirit Pill to mature. Su Shenfan should have already collected more souls again.”
Gu Bailu frowned. “The Archfiend will probably come in the next two days. We have to be careful then.”
“You tricked him for more than half a year; until now, he still hasn’t been able to return to his nest.”
Gu Bailu burst out laughing. “Hmph. Who told him to threaten me? I haven’t taken revenge for my previous life. This time, I’ll be waiting for him.”
“Alright, do your best to set things up. The Dark Army has also been secretly deployed. Just focus on your pregnancy.”
Gu Bailu rubbed her belly. “The baby will be born soon. I can finally get rid of it. It’s really tiring to carry it every day.”
“It’s hard on you.” Feng Qingtian kissed her cheek.
“My husband loves me. It’s not hard at all.”
“What a sweet mouth. Let me have a taste.”
“How annoying…”
Xiao Jingyun and the Grand Tutor were engaged in discussion in the secret room for an hour, and it was already dark when they came out.
The eunuch told him, “The captain of the imperial guards has been waiting outside. He wants to see Your Majesty.”
“What is it?” The captain of the imperial guards usually wouldn’t come to him for no reason.
“He said that he has something important to report.”
“Let him in.” Xiao Jingyun rubbed his forehead. In the past, the former emperor made managing the country seem easy, but now that it was his turn, he felt that it was truly exhausting.
Especially now that so many outsiders had come to the royal palace; it would be difficult to drive them out.
The captain of the imperial guards rushed in anxiously. “Your Majesty, something happened to the divine dragon. It’s been groaning on the ground in pain, and hasn’t flown around at all this afternoon.”
Xiao Jingyun stood up. “What? What happened?”
The golden dragon imprisoned under the altar was the dragon which guarded Rising Clouds Empire. If anything happened to it, it would shake the country.
“I went down to take a look. Someone cut off chunks of its flesh from its calf. I don’t know who can be so evil.”
Xiao Jingyun roared, “Are you guarding this place properly or not? How can you let something like this happen to the divine dragon? Seal off the place and search all the palaces one by one!”
Whoever did it must have cut off the dragon meat to bring it home as some sort of guard treasure.
No matter how Xiao Jingyun thought about it, there was no way he could imagine that the dragon meat had been dug out to be eaten.
Su Shenfan took Bu Yaolian out of the bath and carried her back to the bed.
