Chapter 17 The Princess is Making Trouble in the Palace (Seventeen)

Hu Xiaomeng was secretly happy watching all this. She dismissed other irrelevant people and wondered in her heart how long Zhao Ming could endure before exploding.

When Concubine Li heard that all six concubines were pregnant, she couldn't pretend to be happy at all. She secretly hated why she was not the one who was pregnant.

The entire dining hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and the faces of the five pregnant concubines were as colorful as a seasoning plate.

What the hell, how could I still be pregnant when I had already drunk the contraceptive soup?

Hu Die originally thought that she was the only one pregnant in the palace, but she didn't expect that five concubines in the palace were also pregnant at the same time.

The prince had clearly told her before that he would basically not touch the women sent by others and would just place them in the yard. It turned out to be a big lie. The little joy in her heart disappeared in an instant.

"Prince, if you don't like our child, I can take him away from the palace alone. You don't need to be responsible for me and the child in my belly."

Seeing the prince just standing there with his fists clenched and not saying a word, Hu Die burst into tears and was about to leave the dining hall. She just didn't believe that he really didn't care about her and the baby in her belly.

"stop!"

Hu Die had only taken two steps when Zhao Ming called her. She concealed her happy expression, turned around and looked at him with tears in her eyes. It turned out that he still cared about her.

But as soon as she turned around, Zhao Ming slapped her twice hard, with such force that her fair face became swollen instantly.

Hu Die, who had no idea what was going on, covered her swollen and painful cheek with her eyes wide open in shock. He actually hit her?

"Your Majesty, why are you so angry? Although these children are not yours, these concubines all belong to you!"

After hearing the two crisp slaps, Hu Xiaomeng finished a piece of dessert and half-heartedly gave some advice.

"Princess, please stop slandering me. If my child isn't the prince's, whose could it be?"

Hu Die immediately got furious when she heard what Hu Xiaomeng said. A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated. How could she slander her innocence?

Hu Xiaomeng's words of comfort made Zhao Ming so angry that he vomited a mouthful of blood. The other five concubines hid in the corner and trembled. It turned out that the prince and the princess knew that they were having an affair.

[Master, you're killing six birds with one stone? But Guoguo doesn't understand one thing. I understand that you want to seek revenge on Hu Die.

These concubines are just cheating on you, so logically you wouldn't care if they were disloyal to Zhao Mingzhong.

After witnessing this big show, Ling Guoguo was shocked. She didn't expect that the medicine her young master had used that night could actually cause pregnancy.

“I had no intention of implicating innocent people, but it was I who accidentally learned the secrets of these five women.

It turns out that they are spies trained by other royal palaces, and their target is not only Prince Ming's Palace but also the Prime Minister's Palace.

Anyone who wants to harm the Prime Minister's Mansion is my enemy. As long as I stay in this world, I will not allow anyone to harm the Su family."

Thinking about the secrets she overheard that night, and the fact that she had verified it later, she was sure that they had not been wrongly accused.

All I can say is that they are unlucky. They must have offended someone but had to become enemies with the Su family.

"Your Majesty, are you still okay? If you can hold on, I'll let you handle this lush green grassland above you by yourself.

If your internal organs are burning, I will reluctantly clean up the mess for you.

These sisters are also a little anxious. They don’t know that you took the sterilization drug three months ago and have lost your fertility.

Actually, you don't need to go to such great lengths to add a child to the palace. Father has already agreed to adopt the eldest princess's son to the prince, to prevent him from being without an heir in the future."

Hu Xiaomeng told everyone the truth of the matter. Zhao Ming couldn't help but spit out a few mouthfuls of blood and staggered back several steps.

She was really cruel, and dealt with his great humiliation with the mentality of watching a joke.

"No, I don't believe it. How is it possible? What about the child in my belly? I swear, the prince is my only man."

Hu Xiaomeng's words were like a bolt from the blue, causing Hu Die's face to change drastically and she felt dizzy.

It wasn't just Hu Die who was stunned by Hu Xiaomeng's words. After hearing what she heard, Concubine Li looked at the prince in horror and found that he didn't even say a word in rebuttal.

In an instant, her heart felt like it was plunging into an ice cellar, aching violently. Without an offspring, could her dream of becoming a queen be realized?

"Bitch, you still want to lie to me at this time? Tell me, whose bastard is in your belly?

I doted on you so much, but you actually betrayed me. I thought you were the person I could trust the most in this world."

It would have been fine if Hu Die didn't explain, but as soon as she did, Zhao Ming became furious. He strode forward, grabbed her neck and questioned her.

"Your Majesty, I didn't betray you. I really didn't. The child in my belly is yours."

Hu Die, who was almost suffocated by Zhao Ming, took a few breaths of fresh air and explained to him breathlessly that she herself didn't know what was going on.

"It is said that there is a god above us. If you truly have a clear conscience, Concubine Hu, I swear on your life.

From the moment you met the prince, you have never deceived him or told him a lie. Otherwise, you will be struck by lightning and die without a complete body."

Not knowing how long the confrontation between the two would last, Hu Xiaomeng wanted to go back and rest, so she kindly gave a suggestion. She could guarantee that Hu Die would not dare to make such a vicious oath.

“This…this…”

After hearing the princess' words, Hu Die hesitated. She was worried that if the gods really heard her oath, it would come true.

"Why, you don't dare to swear this oath? Tell me, whose child is in your belly? Is it Prince Chen's?

A year ago, I was being hunted by Prince Chen's men and fled to the forest in your hometown. You saved me. All of this was a conspiracy between you and him, right?

He placed you by my side to spy on me, and asked you to sow discord between me, the princess, and the two concubines. He also asked you to come up with all those bad ideas later, right?

You deceived me so badly, I will kill you!"

After thinking he had figured it all out, Zhao Ming was so angry that he drew his sword and was about to stab Hu Die. Hu Xiaomeng secretly exerted force to deflect the sword, but Hu Die could not die yet.

"Your Highness, Die'er did not conspire with Prince Chen to harm you, really not!"

Hu Die covered the injured area and hurriedly explained to Zhao Ming that he really wanted to kill her.

"Concubine Hu, is it so difficult for you to swear to the prince that you have never lied to him?

If you don’t tell the truth, the prince will really kill you. When a person dies, there is nothing left.”

Hu Xiaomeng was advising her earnestly, and was about to take out some medicine from the system that could make people tell the truth so that Hu Die could confess everything when she spoke.

"Your Majesty, Die'er has only lied to you about one thing. When we met in the forest a year ago, I actually heard some men in black saying they were hunting down King Ming. They said King Ming was seriously injured and couldn't get far.

At that time, I was collecting herbs in the mountains. I quietly left when the men in black were not paying attention. Later, I met you injured and unconscious on the edge of a cliff, and brought you back to my home for treatment.

I wasn't sure if you were the Ming Wang that the men in black were looking for until I bandaged your wound and saw the jade pendant on your body. I guessed that you might be the person they were looking for.

So when those men in black came looking for you later, I sprinkled some medicine on the straw pile to cover up the smell of your blood."

Hu Die told everything that happened a year ago. After she knew that the injured man was Ming Wang, she did have some thoughts in her mind.

Who doesn't like a handsome and powerful man? That's why she was so cunning and offered her virginity to him, pretending that it was necessary for medical treatment.
