818 Three Little Black Eggs (2)
âWhereâs the medicine?â The Saintess stretched out her hand to the holy envoy.
âDo you have to disguise her pulse so well? Heâs not a doctor,â the holy envoy muttered and poured a bottle of black pills into the Saintessâs palm. âThe effect is ten days. After ten days, the pregnancy pulse will be gone.â
The Saintess swallowed the pill without another word.
âYou can leave,â the Saintess said.
!!
The holy envoy said, âThe wedding is tomorrow. Iâll stay and serve you.â
The Saintess put on another pair of white jade pins and said, âJust serve her. Others wonât suspect anything if youâre by her side.â
ââ¦Yes.â The Holy Envoy went to Yu Wanâs room as she was told.
The Saintess picked up the comb and combed her delicate bangs. Then, she smiled in satisfaction and stood up to leave the temple.

In the east courtyard of the city, the three little munchkins sat on the threshold and looked in both directions.
Xiaobao was the first to stand up. He walked to the center of the street and stuck his head out. âWhy isnât Mom back yet?â
Soon, Erâbao also stood up and walked to his brotherâs side. He looked around with him. âI want Mom back.â
Dabao was the big brother. He did not show it on his face or words like his two younger brothers, but they could not help but be written in his eyes.
The three of them waited here before dawn every day until the sun set. After being exposed to the sun for more than ten days, they finally managed to become black eggs again, though they had just turned white.
The three little black eggs touched the hair on their little bald head. Their hair had grown out and they were going to shave their heads. Their mother had to come back to shave their heads.
Ah Wei finished cooking their favorite goat milk and put it into a small bottle for them.
The three of them grabbed the little milk bottle with both hands and looked at their master aggrievedly before handing it back.
I wonât drink milk anymore. Iâll use the milk to exchange for my mother.
Ah Wei sighed softly and held the hands of the three useless disciples, bringing them back to the courtyard.
The three of them turned around step by step until they entered the house, hoping to see their mother.
When the Saintess arrived at this alley, she saw the three little black eggs looking back. Those three unbelievably beautiful faces looked very similar to the face that had stunned her for her entire life.
He already had children? And there were three. Triplets were too rare, and it was even rarer to see such healthy and beautiful children.
The Saintess touched her fake stomach, hesitating if she should walk over now. Although her injuries had long recovered, she would probably not be able to escape death if they were seen through. While she was hesitating, a familiar black figure walked out. She had a tall figure and a green mask.
Was it⦠him?
Perhaps because they had not fought, the aura on his body had faded a lot, but people could still recognize him.
The Saintess looked at him steadily. Her first reaction was not to walk over, but to retreat. However, at this moment, the man seemed to have sensed something and looked in the direction of the alley. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He saw the Saintess who could not escape in time and was slightly stunned. A trace of disbelief flashed across his eyes under the mask. Then, he strode towards the Saintess.
The Saintess suddenly became nervous. It was unclear if it was because of guilt or because of palpitations.
He paused a step away from the Saintess and sized her up. âYouâ¦â
The Saintess took a deep breath and covered the flash of guilt. She lowered her eyes and said softly, âI escaped.â
âHow did you escape?â Yan Jiuchao asked.
This voice was deeper than she had imagined, but it was quite pleasant when matched with this face.
The Saintess thought about Yu Wanâs voice and replied softly, âThe Sikong Manor is preparing for the wedding. The Saintess called me to the Holy Temple. I took advantage of the time when she was choosing the wedding dress to hide in the carriage and came out.â
âYouâve lost weight,â Yan Jiuchao said with heartache.
The Saintess said in an aggrieved tone, âIâve been missing you and my sons these days. Iâm depressed and canât eat or sleep in peace. I havenât eaten a single drop of rice in the three days I was taken to the Holy Templeâ¦â
âIâve made you suffer.â Yan Jiuchao reached out with his strong palm and grabbed the Saintessâs weak hand.
The Saintess had never had physical contact with a man in her life, not even Sikong Yun. She was so shocked that she retracted her hand when it was suddenly held.
âWhatâs wrong?â Yan Jiuchao asked.
âN-nothing,â the Saintess said.
The Saintess raised her eyes and stared fixedly at the mask. After hesitating for a while, she raised her hand and took off the mask.
