Chapter 274: Chapter 276: The Birthmark on His Back
“In a few days, you will know.”
Feng Bailing then noticed that her whole body was soaked.
After Dugu Wu had bathed, his legs felt more comfortable.
He wanted to get up, and Feng Bailing quickly ca forward to get his crutch.
When Dugu Wu turned around, Feng Bailing saw his “wound” on his back.
Dugu Wu had many wounds on his body, but this one was strange.
It looked like a tattoo.
Feng Bailing took a few more glances.
“I have a birthmark on my back.”
Dugu Wu said gravely.
He had that birthmark for as long as he could rember.
However, it was in a place that hardly anyone had ever noticed, Feng Bailing was the first.
The two then fell back into silence.
“Sir, twenty buckets of cold water have been brought.”
Feng Wan said from outside.
A coat was thrown at Feng Bailing, she startled, then realizing she was drenched, she whispered a “thank you” and dashed out of the room.
Before Feng Wan could call out “Princess Consort,” Feng Bailing was already out of sight.
“Go bring another thirty buckets of cold water.”
In the room, Dugu Wu only uttered one sentence.
Feng Wan groaned.
It took a full fifty buckets of cold water to calm Dugu Wu’s restless body.
After night fell, just as Feng Bailing was about to sleep, she heard the door gently pushed open, Feng Xiaoli tiptoed in, crouching.
“Your Majesty, why didn’t daddy sleep with you to have Young Xiaojin and Young Xiaoli?”
Feng Xiaoli looked around, did not see her father, and her little face fell, looking sowhat disappointed.
“Who’s been filling your head with nonsense?”
Feng Bailing couldn’t help but laugh softly, and brought her soft fragrant daughter onto the bed.
“Brother Xiaojin said it, he said after you have Young Xiaoli and Young Xiaojin, our family will never be apart.”
Feng Xiaoli was also looking forward to the forever togetherness with Young Xiaoli and Young Xiaojin.
Feng Bailing was taken aback.
Dugu Xiaojin was even more sensible and precocious than Feng Xiaoli.
He was very fond of Feng Bailing and Feng Xiaoli, but he guessed that Feng Xiaoli was not the biological daughter of Dugu Wu, only if the two of them had their own child could this marriage last.
That child, sotis precocious in a way that was heartbreaking.
Feng Bailing sighed inwardly.
The one-year agreent with Dugu Wu, what she worried about the most was Dugu Xiaojin.
She truly liked Dugu Xiaojin, but after all, he was not her own child.
One year later, facing separation again, how sad Xiaojin would be…
Feng Bailing’s eyes darkened subtly.
“Your Majesty, is it because daddy isn’t sleeping with you, that’s why you’re sad?”
Seeing the sorrowful look on Feng Bailing’s face, Feng Xiaoli’s chubby face crumpled.
“Mother isn’t sad. You are too young, there are things you don’t understand. When you’re older, mother will tell you.”
Feng Bailing sighed, she really didn’t know how to explain to her children that she and Dugu Wu could never have Young Xiaojin and Young Xiaoli.
Perhaps, the Feng Bailing from that lifeti would admire a man like Dugu Wu, distinguished and talented.
But the Feng Bailing who had been through the education of the 22nd century could not possibly be with Dugu Wu.
He did not like her, and she did not like him either.
He had his Nalan Yan’er in his heart, and she yearned for a beautiful marriage and love that lasted a lifeti with one person.
“Your Majesty~ don’t worry, you and daddy will definitely have Young Xiaoli and Young Xiaojin!”
Feng Xiaoli didn’t understand Feng Bailing’s words, but she knew she loved her dad and brother, she wanted their family to be together.
Feng Bailing couldn’t help but have a headache as she soothed her daughter, and it took a while before mother and daughter fell asleep.
Outside the house, Dugu Wu stood there.
His gaze deep, he pushed open the door.
Inside, the pine oil lamp emitted a bright light.
Under the lamp light, Dugu Xiaojin lay asleep at the desk.
On the desk, there were stacks of books and also brushes and ink.
Dugu Xiaojin has disliked darkness since childhood and had the habit of reading at night.
Since condensing the Wuji Seal, things had improved, but he still slept late.
Dugu Wu slept in the study room and heard the noise outside at night; he knew clearly about Feng Xiaoli letting Hei Dian stand guard while secretly slipping into Feng Bailing’s room.
Deep into the night, seeing the light still on in his son’s room, Dugu Wu woke up.
He picked up his son and carried him to the bed.
Next to his son’s bed, there was a box.
It was a gift from Feng Bailing when she returned.
Dugu Xiaojin cherished it greatly, so much so that he couldn’t bear to open it and always kept it by the bed.
Dugu Wu covered Dugu Xiaojin with a blanket, picked up the box, and opened it.
Dugu Wu raised an eyebrow.
This gift… was a porcelain jar the size of a chess basket, inside which was a golden insect egg.
It seed to be so kind of insect.
Dugu Wu scrutinized the insect egg for a mont, and after ascertaining there was nothing wrong with it, put it back.
Ever since Dugu Xiaojin began to talk, he had liked small animals; he should really like this gift.
Bang—
A slight noise ca from behind.
Dugu Wu turned around and saw a fluffy little creature looking pitifully at him from under the desk.
Bai Shan was terrified; after Dugu Wu ca in, it dared not move at all.
Dugu Wu wheeled himself back to the desk.
Aside from scrolls, there was also a painting on the desk.
The painting captured a lifelike image of four people and two animals, one black and one white, large and small—it was clearly him, Feng Bailing, Dugu Xiaojin, and Feng Xiaoli, with Bai Shan and Hei Dian squatting next to the two little ones.
The faces of the four in the painting all bore happy smiles.
Dugu Wu looked at the painting and fell into deep thought.
Deep into the night, within the Imperial Palace.
A figure flashed by.
Inside the Imperial Kitchen, the stove glowed red, and a dicinal fragrance continuously drifted from the kettle on the stove.
The mysterious person in a cloak lifted the kettle’s lid, and his hands dripped black liquid into the kettle, then replaced the lid.
The dicinal sll remained, and the cloaked person quickly hid to one side.
At that mont, a drowsy palace maid entered, poured out the dicine liquid, and tested it with a silver needle.
The silver needle did not change color; the palace maid then carried the dicine bowl towards Emperor Yongye’s sleeping quarters.
“Emperor, the dicine is ready.”
The palace maid carefully placed down the dicine bowl.
Emperor Yongye had his eyes closed, and Li Qing carefully blew on the dicine to cool it before feeding it to Emperor Yongye.
As dawn broke and the sky turned pale, Feng Bailing suddenly woke up from her sleep.
Feng Xiaoli had already been taken away by Chun Liu.
Feng Bailing was covered in cold sweat.
She had a dream.
This ti the dream was not like before, not the scene of her bleeding heavily during childbirth, this ti, she dread about the Imperial Palace, dread about Emperor Yongye.
The double-colored orchid blood, soone picked the orchid flowers and poisoned Emperor Yongye, to be exact, they used a love poison.
Black orchid flowers are the raw material for making the love poison.
The orchid in the Imperial Palace had blood.
