Transmigration: The Fate of the Villainess-Chapter 218 - 218 The disgraceful last fate Part I

218 The disgraceful last fate Part I

“Empress Dowager, his majesty has come.”

“Heh.” Empress Dowager Wei revealed a satisfied smile. It seemed that her plan had gone swiftly and smoothly. In the end, her youngest son could not trust his lover to the end. 𝗳r𝗲𝙚w𝐞𝚋𝘯𝚘ѵ𝗲l.𝑐oｍ

“Isn’t this too much?”

“What did aijia do?” Empress Dowager Wei ignored the emperor’s cold tone.

Ouyang Feilong had once made an agreement with her that one day, Ouyang Mingxian would become Taizi. In exchange, she would not lay a hand on Bai Yu. She had done according to their agreement all along.

She did not lay a hand on Bai Yu, but she did lay her hand on the unborn child instead!

That wretched thing should not be born. In the future, Ouyang Mingxian would give her a son with the blood of the Wei family, who would ascend the throne after him.

“It is that woman’s obscenity that brings you here.”

“Do not call her that.” Ouyang Feilong tried to restrain himself from being rude toward his own mother.

.....

“Didn’t you see, Feilong?” Empress Dowager Wei sneered. “When she heard of Bai Hua’s pregnancy, how did your beloved empress react?”

That day, Bai Yu was noticeably quiet. He knew she had something on her mind, but he did not want to guess that it was about Ouyang Mingxian, who she once loved. He wanted to trust her as much as she trusted him. He needed to trust her today more than ever, even though what he saw and her actions that day wavered him.

At Ouyang Feilong’s silence, Empress Dowager Wei continued shaking him with her words. She had never thought she could use this method with him. The Black Dragon’s heart had always been more steadfast and resolute than she expected.

She tried to orchestrate various scenes to attack Ouyang Feilong’s heart and make him suspicious of Bai Yu. Fortunately, Bai Yu’s actions had greatly helped increase the credibility of those tricks.

“This is the woman you love so much. You stole her from your own nephew. And how did it turn out?” Empress Dowager Wei burst out laughing. Her eyes held a wicked glint. “In the end, you can only take her body! Bai Yu’s heart will always be Ouyang Mingxian’s!”

Slam!

The palace’s doors and windows banged shut by the golden wind conjured by the emperor’s magic. The gold shimmer on his purple jade bracelet easily invoked fear in Empress Dowager Wei. She had never seen this facet of her son before.

Ouyang Feilong maintained his calm exterior, though the menace continued to emanate from his tall figure with the golden magic.

“Have you said enough?”

“Y…you.” Empress Dowager Wei was a sheltered woman. No matter how wicked she was, her magic was far inferior to Ouyang Feilong’s golden one.

“Zhen has come here to negotiate, mother, not to hear you waste your breath on such nonsense.”

“Nonsense?” Empress Dowager Wei tried to lift her chin despite the fear in her chest. “Even a low-ranking consort dared to have an affair. Do you truly think that the empress from a major family like her doesn’t have the nerve to cuckold you?!”

Ouyang Feilong glared at the woman who, no matter what, refused to let go of hatred despite their past agreement. Today, his own mother was harming his wife and child.

That’s right.

Ouyang Feilong knew that Bai Yu was pregnant.

He was the commander-general who commanded hundreds of thousands of soldiers. How could he not notice the change in the woman whom he embraced every night? Only the difference in her magic current, combined with him taking her pulse while she was asleep, was enough for Ouyang Feilong to know.

Yet he pretended to not know so that the little fool could do as she wished. Everything Bai Yu did was for him and the dynasty. However, he never expected that a day would come when suspicion grew between them, stemming from the man she once loved.

“Are you finished?”

Ouyang Feilong halted his thoughts that did not involve Bai Yu’s safety, as he said to his mother. She had various plans to pressure Bai Yu. He knew all of them, but he could not interfere in time. He could only hope that his foolish woman would remain steadfast in front of the Empress Dowager’s tricks.

“Why? You can’t accept the truth?”

“This does not concern you, mother.”

“You!”

“Do not cross the line.”

Empress Dowager Wei balled her hands into fists. Ouyang Feilong dared to use such a cold voice toward her!

“If anything happens to zhen’s wife and child…”

“…”

“…You will never see the Wei family rise again!”

—————–

The empress palace was in chaos after the mistress of the palace was carried back by the Emperor, the Taizi walking behind him with a solemn face. The courtiers who were originally heading to the royal study were also following the two royals. Among them was senior chancellor Bai, who was the empress’ father.

After witnessing the intimacy between the aunt and nephew, he said nothing. Ouyang Mingxian was the one who called out that Bai Yu had fainted.

Hearing that, he strode forward and carried her in his arms. The first thought that had appeared in his mind was replaced by worry when he saw his lover’s pale face.

“Summon the royal doctor to the empress palace.” It was time for Da Yang to know that his beloved woman was giving him an heir.

After the royal doctor had come to examine Bai Yu, the news of her pregnancy was celebrated by everyone. While they were surprised at the matter being kept secret, Ouyang Feilong said that he had told her to do so and that Bai Hua had been taking good care of the child.

And with the Emperor’s word, the Empress’ prior concealment of her pregnancy was effectively forgotten.

Ouyang Feilong went back to Bai Yu’s palace after going to Empress Dowager Wei’s palace. The chaos within was instantly silenced at the arrival of the son of heaven.

“Your Majesty, the Empress has fainted because of sudden fatigue. The cause might be a lack of rest.”

“Thank you.”

“I am honored to serve, Your Majesty.”

“Examine the smell of this cloth.”

A handkerchief embroidered with two butterflies flying together was handed to Royal Doctor Li, whom he had assigned to secretly take care of Bai Yu. The Empress Dowager’s palace was pungent with the smell of fragrant incense. It gave him a clue as to why a clever woman such as Bai Yu fell for his mother’s trick.

If he was correct, that incense must contain a component poisonous to pregnant women. The effect might not be severe, but at least enough to make her lose consciousness. This would be the last thing he allowed Empress Dowager Wei to do to Bai Yu.

Here came the end of his duty as a son and a brother.

From now on, there was only the duty as a husband to the woman he loved!

—————–

Because of the poison from the incense, Bai Yu slept for one full day. When she woke up, it was already the morning of the next day. Ouyang Feilong had forbidden everyone to interrupt the Empress’ rest. Still, gifts from major families and other consorts came in unending waves. There was only Xiao Xi to take care of the gifts, as Xiao Chang could not come back without an order revoking her current duty.

“Water…”

Shortly, wetness touched her lips at the same time as a pair of warm arms supported her to sit up against a broad chest. One look at the golden robe told Bai Yu the identity of the first person she saw.

“How are you feeling?” Ouyang Feilong softly whispered. He no longer had to pretend not to know anything, and he greatly relished the liberating sense that came with it.

“Sleepy.”

“Maybe zhen’s child is a sleepyhead.”

“It’s pregnancy times two. I need a lot of rest.”

“Times?”

“Times mean twice as much, Your Majesty.”

“You’re pregnant with twins?”

“That’s right. Doesn’t Your Majesty…”

The words were swallowed back as soon as her brain finally processed that she was talking about the children in her womb with Ouyang Feilong. Was this not a secret?!

“Heh heh.”

“W…What happened?” She only remembered meeting Ouyang Mingxian in the royal garden before everything turned dark. The last thing she saw was a jade pendant hanging from Ouyang Mingxian’s waist. It had the same color as her bracelet.

Oh. She also remembered Ouyang Feilong calling her name from somewhere not too far away.

“There’s a stupid child who kept her pregnancy a secret but was caught by her husband.”

“Yes?”

This was not related to what happened in the royal garden at all… This was related to her secret…that seemed to be exposed.

“Your Majesty knows?” She raised her face to look at the owner of the warmth behind her. She blinked multiple times as she waited for the answer. The villainess could only hope that he would not be angry with her.

“Mhm.” Ouyang Feilong pinched the nose of the person who tried to worm her way out of being punished by using her cuteness. “How long do you think you can keep it a secret from me?”

“Uhhh.” Bai Yu made a noise of protest when her nose was pinched and pulled from left to right, making her face shake. “At least I can do it for six months.”

“Listen, little fool.” Ouyang Feilong released his hand and pushed her smaller body to sit straight up. He easily turned her around to face him. His enchanting face was solemn, his eyes grave. “Zhen knows that you’re pregnant before you even know it yourself.”

“Hah?”
