Chapter 98: The Crown Princess and the Evil Seed, Neither Can Stay

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience fell silent!

Even the smile on the emperor's face faded.

All the veteran officials in the court knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had never sent a birthday gift to His Majesty over the years, and it was very rare for him to appear at today's banquet.

In such silence, Xie Yujiao felt something was wrong...

Obviously, in her previous life, they didn't treat her like this.

Xiao Ji stood up and said in a deep voice: "Father, I have indeed prepared a birthday gift for you."

Instantly, everyone's eyes fell on Xiao Ji.

Xiao Ji clapped his hands, and immediately a eunuch presented a tray. The emperor picked up the things on the tray, and saw that it was the pulse case.

The Crown Princess...is pregnant!

The emperor raised his eyes suddenly, and even though he had been on the throne for many years, he seemed a little out of control at this moment!

Especially when his eyes swept across Xie Yao, they were filled with murderous intent.

He knew Xiao Ji's physical condition very well. He had been extinct for a long time and it was impossible for him to have children... What was Xiao Ji trying to do?

Xiao Ji was about to stand in front of Xie Yao and take the pressure, but he saw Xie Yao holding his hand, taking a step forward and standing side by side with him.

The real her is not the Xie Yao who pretends to be weak in front of His Highness.

"The Crown Princess has diagnosed a happy baby. Congratulations, father. You will soon be the Emperor's grandfather." Xiao Ji spoke with true feelings, and his voice was filled with joy.

The whole place was quiet again.

This gift... Royal heirs are naturally a national event, especially since this is the prince's first child. If it is a boy, he would be the crown prince.

This is indeed a great gift.

But many people couldn't laugh.

Especially those who knew Xiao Ji's physical condition were very suspicious of the child's origins.

Everyone's eyes were on Xie Yao and Xiao Ji. The atmosphere was awkward and stiff.

Xiao Ji was not afraid at all, and even asked, "Is the emperor unhappy?"

After all, the emperor had been in high office for many years and had already mastered the skill of not showing his emotions. He looked at Xiao Ji deeply and said, "Of course I am happy."

"impossible!"

A sudden and sharp female voice suddenly sounded, "Absolutely impossible! This..."

Before she could finish her words, her mouth was suddenly covered.

It was Song Wenbo who took action.

Song Wenbo's expression was very ugly. He pressed Xie Yujiao down to her knees and said in a very humble voice, "My wife has lost her mind and likes to talk nonsense. Please don't blame me, Your Majesty."

Damn Xie Yujiao, don’t take him with you even if you want to die!

If he was not Xie Yujiao's husband, and if Xie Yujiao was not still "useful", he would definitely be happy to listen to Xie Yujiao "going crazy."

The emperor looked at Xie Yujiao with a cold look in his eyes, "Since you are sick, go out less."

What the hell is that?

Is it her turn to interfere in the royal family's affairs?

Song Wenbo was sweating profusely, and felt his back was soaked with sweat. He knelt on the ground and said yes repeatedly.

Even though he had met His Majesty several times, he was still frightened by His Majesty's aura.

But at the same time, he also noticed another pair of cold eyes falling on him, and he knew that it was Her Royal Highness the Princess.

He also has to give an explanation to the princess about what happened today.

Xiao Ning's cold eyes quickly moved away from Song Wenbo and fell on Xie Yao and Xiao Ji.

She thought it was foolproof, but unexpectedly... she miscalculated.

Xiao Ji is so calculating that he is willing to go this far for Xie Yao, even acknowledging a bastard!

Xiao Hong's eyes were equally cold and dangerous, and full of jealousy.

Bitch!

You can give birth to a child for another man, and yet you pretend to be a chaste woman in front of him?

It's just second-hand stuff that someone has played with...

Before Xiao Hong finished this thought, he felt a chill on his back. It was Xiao Ji's eyes falling on him. It seemed as if he could see through what he was thinking, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

Xiao Hong's heart trembled and he subconsciously looked away.

Immediately, he felt even angrier. Why was a dying man being so arrogant?

But without exception, the news announced by Xiao Ji and Xie Yao made everyone, including Xiao Hong and Xiao Ning, become nervous and anxious.

With Xiao Ji's "gift" in front of him, Xiao Hong lost the opportunity to ask for a marriage.

At the reminder of Concubine Shu, the emperor looked at Xiao Ji with a sullen face, "Does the Crown Prince have any requests?"

Xiao Ji lowered his eyes, "I want to ask the emperor for a portrait."

The emperor's face suddenly darkened, and he looked at Xiao Ji with displeasure in his eyes, but at the same time, he could not hide his longing and emotion in his eyes.

They all knew that what Xiao Ji wanted must be the portrait of the late queen.

The emperor was silent for a moment, then said, "Approved."

Xiao Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, "Thank you, father."

After the gift presentation, the banquet started, and it was very lively with toasts and chatter.

Xie Yao was pregnant, but she openly did not drink alcohol, only sweet fruit drinks.

"Your Highness."

The young eunuch walked up to Xiao Ji and whispered, "Your Majesty wants to see you."

Xiao Ji looked at Xie Yao.

Xie Yao nodded slightly, "I'll wait for Your Highness here."

Only then did Xiao Ji leave.

"Thank you, Yao!"

Xie Yujiao's voice sounded in front of her, her expression was both contemptuous and proud, as if she had caught Xie Yao's handle, "I know your secret."

Xie Yao: “…”

She glanced at Xie Yujiao and was too lazy to even respond.

Xie Yujiao continued: "You don't have to think about your secret being known to everyone, right?"

Xie Yao asked: "Oh? What secret?"

Xie Yujiao choked, "The bastard you are pregnant with..."

Bang!

Xie Yao slapped Xie Yujiao on the face. The sound of the slap was so crisp that everyone around looked over.

"Spreading rumors and slandering the royal heir, do you know what the crime is?"

Xie Yao asked back in a clear voice.

Song Wenbo didn't expect that he just went to toast, and Xie Yujiao got into trouble again. He stepped forward and said, "Princess Consort, please forgive me. My wife is sick."

Song Wenbo apologized and pulled Xie Yujiao out of the hall.

Xie Yujiao finally shook off Song Wenbo, "Husband, why are you pulling me? It's Xie Yao who should be anxious!"

"She confused the royal bloodline, which is a capital crime!"

"We have such a big handle on Xie Yao, what else are we afraid of her doing?" Xie Yao was the only one who knelt down and begged her!

Song Wenbo raised his hand to mid-air, then slowly lowered it, and asked with some uncertainty: "Really?"

"Of course!" Xie Yujiao raised her chin slightly and said firmly: "My husband, believe me, Xie Yao is definitely not pregnant with the prince's child."

"Why?" Song Wenbo frowned.

Xie Yujiao sneered, "Prince... that's impossible!"

She failed to seduce the prince in her previous life, but she did drug the prince. Even after drugging him, the prince did not touch her. What else could that be?

Song Wenbo looked at Xie Yujiao in doubt, "Did Jiaojiao also predict this?"

Xie Yujiao choked and nodded heavily, "Yes."

"So, my husband, we don't have to be afraid of Xie Yao. She... is dead."

Xie Yujiao was feeling proud and didn't notice that Song Wenbo was looking at her with a scrutinizing and inquiring look.

…

Xiao Ji was transferred to the Yangxin Palace.

The emperor was sitting on the dragon throne, wearing a golden dragon robe that was luxurious yet inexplicably lonely.

There was a rolled-up painting next to him.

Judging from the color, it should be an old item, but it has been maintained very well. Apart from the slight fading of the paper, there is no problem with it.

This is the painting Xiao Ji wanted.

The emperor pushed the direction of the painting of Xiao Ji and said, "It's yours."

Xiao Ji immediately thanked him, "Thank you, father."

His mother died giving birth to him, and the emperor hated him because of this. Over the years, he could only see his mother's portrait secretly and could not own it openly.

now……

Xiao Ji reached out and took the painting.

Then the emperor's voice sounded again, "Your Crown Princess and that bastard..."

"Let's deal with it."
