Chapter 215 Two Months Pregnant
"Fourth brother..."
"What are you doing?" Mo Qianxiao walked to the center of the room with his hands behind his back, his gaze sharper than a sword.
Luo Lixian quickly pushed Wei Yonghuai aside, lowered her head and stood in front of him, introducing and explaining, "This is my sworn brother Yonghuai. I owe a lot to him for taking care of me during my time in the capital of Daye Kingdom. Today, when he heard that I had come out, he was worried about me and specially came to Ziqiong Manor to see me. Just now, his stomach ailment flared up, and I was about to help him to rest when I didn't expect so many people to suddenly barge in."
"Is that so?" Mo Qianxiao sneered.
Chen Zhan, who was watching the commotion from the sidelines, exclaimed, "So Young Master Wei's stomach ailment has flared up? I thought you two were embracing... I'm so sorry, Young Master Wei, we misunderstood!" Without even glancing at Wei Yonghuai's expression, he kindly called out to the crowd, "Young Master Wei's stomach ailment has flared up! Does anyone here know medicine? Quickly, take a look at Young Master Wei! This is the son of the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, and also the sworn brother of the Princess of Beilin Kingdom. Please, we mustn't let anything go wrong!"
If he could, Wei Yonghuai would tear him apart on the spot!
He suppressed the urge to vomit blood, gritted his teeth, and angrily said to Chen Zhan, "Young Master Chen, what exactly do you intend to do by bringing so many people into my room? I paid money to rent this private room, so please leave immediately!"
Perhaps knowing he was in the wrong for trespassing, Chen Zhan chuckled dryly and called to the crowd, "Alright, alright, it's all a misunderstanding, everyone disperse."
Although the crowd dispersed, the ambiguous glances and whispers they exchanged as they left still made Luo Lixian so embarrassed that she wanted to disappear into the ground.
Wei Yonghuai was equally ashamed and indignant.
Knowing Chen Zhan's influence in the capital, and now that Chen Zhan had caught him in an intimate moment with Luo Lixian, he wondered what rumors that guy would spread...
But right now, no amount of embarrassment could compare to dealing with the man in front of her.
He then bowed to Mo Qianxiao and said, "My name is Wei Yonghuai, and I pay my respects to Your Highness the Fourth Prince."
Mo Qianxiao only gave him a disdainful look, without even bothering to speak. After the crowd dispersed, he gestured for his men to leave and keep watch outside the door.
In front of Wei Yonghuai, he raised his hand and slapped Luo Lixian across the face.
'Snapped'!
The crisp sound knocked Luo Lixian's head to the side and startled Wei Yonghuai, causing him to tremble violently.
Before they could speak, Mo Qianxiao pointed at Luo Lixian and coldly rebuked, "I need to use your status as a concubine. You spread rumors about your affair with him, hoping to get the Yuchi family to divorce you so that my trip will be in vain?"
Luo Lixian covered her face, tears streaming down her face, and explained, "Fourth brother, Huai-gege and I are just like brother and sister, it's not what you think!"
She knew, of course, why she was of use: because she was Yuchi Rui's concubine. Even though Yuchi Rui had lost his position as crown prince, she was still a woman of the Yuchi family. Based on this, she could help the people of Beilin Kingdom make contact with the Yuchi family.
If she loses her usefulness, not only will Mo Qianxiao not give her any more money or gifts, but he won't even acknowledge her as his sister!
Mo Qianxiao's gaze swept back and forth between her and Wei Yonghuai like swords, his cold voice full of warning, "I don't care what your relationship is, if you ruin my plans, I will make sure you die a horrible death!"
"Fourth brother..." Luo Lixian was about to reassure him when her body suddenly swayed uncontrollably, and then she closed her eyes and fell to the ground.
"Xian'er!" Wei Yonghuai rushed forward and hugged her around the waist.
Mo Qianxiao narrowed his eyes and stared at Luo Lixian scrutinizingly. Seeing that she didn't seem to be faking it, he then called his subordinates in from outside the door.
"Lan Hong, take a look at her!"
"Yes!"
One of his men stepped forward and grabbed Luo Lixian's wrist from Wei Yonghuai's arms.
After taking her pulse, he reported to Mo Qianxiao, "Your Highness, the Fifth Princess is two months pregnant. However, she fainted due to insufficient blood and qi, coupled with excessive palpitations."
Two months pregnant?
Upon hearing this, Wei Yonghuai was overjoyed.
Mo Qianxiao glared at him with a gloomy expression, and when he caught the excitement in his eyes, he couldn't help but warn him coldly again, "You surnamed Wei, I'm kindly reminding you that the child in her belly can only be Yuchi Rui's. If you dare to utter a single word of nonsense, I will not let you live another quarter of an hour!"
“…Yes.” Wei Yonghuai replied with his head down, “Yonghuai knows what to do.”
What he wanted wasn't Luo Lixian as a woman, but the benefits she could bring him!
Now that Luo Lixian is pregnant again, no matter whose child it is, she can forget about getting rid of him! As long as the child is safely delivered, his escape route will be completely secure!
Mo Qianxiao then instructed his subordinates, "Send the Fifth Princess back to the palace and truthfully inform the Emperor of Daye Kingdom that the Fifth Princess is pregnant."
"Yes."
……
In the attic.
After paying his respects, Chen Zhan stood up and said, "Your Highness, when I led my men in, they were only embracing each other and hadn't done anything yet, but based on that, I'm afraid it won't cause much of a stir."
Yu Chi Ling said in a low voice, "It's alright. I didn't intend to take their lives now. You just need to arrange for people to spread the word truthfully."
Before Chen Zhan could say anything more, Sanshui suddenly entered and urgently reported, "Your Highness, the people of Beilin Kingdom have discovered that Luo Lixian is two months pregnant!"
"You've arrived just in time!" Yu Chi Ling wasn't surprised; instead, he raised the corners of his lips meaningfully.
"Two months pregnant?" Ye Shishu tilted her head and thought for a moment. "Could it be that they conceived in Jeju City? Then this is going to be interesting!"
Chen Zhan said incredulously, "Your Highness, Your Highness, if the child in Consort Luo's womb is Wei Yonghuai's, wouldn't she be confusing the royal bloodline?"
Yu Chi Ling said, "You just need to spread what you saw today; I will handle the rest."
"Yes," Chen Zhan replied, bowing. This matter was no longer a scandal of adultery. Not only would he not dare to speak out, but even his father wouldn't dare to make a judgment.
"Has Mo Qianxiao returned to the city?" Yu Chi Ling asked San Shui.
"Your Highness, he has already left the manor," Sanshui replied.
“Hmm.” Yu Chi Ling Chao Ye Shi Shu stretched out his hand. “It’s time to go back to the palace and watch the excitement.”
Ye Shishu got up from the chair, handed him her hand, and then said to Sanshui, "Sanshui, could you please go and call my elder brother and the others? They've been playing for several days, it's time for them to go home."
"Yes."
……
Upon hearing that Luo Lixian was pregnant, Yu Chisheng showed no joy. Instead, he frowned deeply and asked Qi Sui, "Are you sure she's really pregnant?"
Qi Sui said, "Your Majesty, as soon as Consort Luo returned to the palace, Imperial Physician Lu went to examine her pulse and confirmed it was true."
Yu Chi Sheng's face was cold and stern; he sat silently on the dragon throne for a long time.
Luo Lixian's pregnancy came at a really bad time!
To be honest, he didn't want his eldest grandson to be born to the woman of the deposed crown prince!
However, Luo Lixian is now the fifth princess of Bei Lin Kingdom. Unless Bei Lin Kingdom takes the initiative to bring Luo Lixian back, he cannot force Luo Lixian to break off her engagement with the deposed crown prince, nor can he easily abort the child in her womb...
He was already troubled by the matter of dealing with the deposed crown prince, and now Luo Lixian was pregnant. Given the current situation, could he still continue to imprison the deposed crown prince?
"Qi Sui".
"Your Majesty, this old servant is here."
"Prince Cheng did not come to the palace today. Where did he go? Summon him to see me!"
