Chapter 130 No Woman Can Escape
In just half a day, the news of Tuoba Xi's pregnancy spread throughout the camp.
Not to mention people, even the horses tied to the grass knew that there was an unformed embryo in her belly.
After this happened, Tuoba Xi suddenly became the topic of conversation for everyone.
As a princess married to a foreign country, she had sex with others without self-respect, and even dreamed of marrying into the royal family of Daxia after she became pregnant. She was simply shameless!
When Tuoba Lan learned the news, he was pestered by several palace maids to play kicking keys with him.
He kicked the keys away with one foot and strode towards the tent where Tuoba Xi lived.
As soon as he entered the tent and saw Tuoba Xi packing her luggage, he immediately asked in a cold voice, "What happened when I was away? Didn't I tell you to be careful? Why did your pregnancy become known to everyone?"
Tuoba Xi was already upset, but when Tuoba Lan came in, he didn't even say a word to show his concern for her, but immediately held her responsible.
She was angry and aggrieved, and exploded on the spot, "Is this my sole responsibility? If you hadn't been unable to control your third leg, how could my child and I have suffered such humiliation today?"
Seeing that she was recklessly talking about such a private matter, Tuoba Lan rushed forward and covered her mouth, "Hush! Keep your voice down! Do you want everyone to know that the baby in your belly is my child?"
"Why not? We really love each other, I just want everyone to know about our relationship..."
Bang!
Before she finished her words, Tuoba Lan slapped her hard in the face.
He used such great force that he knocked off the veil on Tuoba Xi's face.
Tuoba Xi tasted the blood in his mouth on the spot.
She covered her burning cheeks and stared at Tuoba Lan in disbelief, "You, you actually hit me?"
Tuoba Lan also realized that his emotions were out of control and he lost his grip for a moment, "Xi'er, I didn't mean to do that, listen to me..."
"I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen!"
Tuoba Xi's heart was shattered by his slap, and the look in her eyes when she looked at him was also full of hurt, "Tuoba Lan, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't agree to the marriage at all! What's so good about Daxia? What's the difference between entering the harem and being in jail? My father told me since I was a child that I am an eagle on the grassland, I was born for the sky, and I should soar into the sky! I broke my wings for you, and what did I get in return?"
"Xi'er, I was just anxious at the moment, I didn't mean it! Let me see the wound on your face."
Tuoba Lan stretched out his hand to touch her face, but she shook him off, "No need! Get out! Get out of my tent!"
Tuoba Lan was still wearing women's clothes. If Tuoba Xi stopped covering for him, his identity could be exposed at any time.
The fact that he was dressed as a woman and mixed in with the envoys would be fatal to him no matter whether it reached Sikong Yan's ears or was reported back to China!
In order to protect himself, he narrowed his eyes at Tuoba Xi, and his attitude finally softened a bit, "Xi'er, I was wrong! I lost my temper because I cared too much about you! I know you don't want to marry the Emperor of Daxia, and it's fine now, but the envoys also know that you are pregnant, and they can't keep you!"
Tuoba Xi looked at the murderous aura in his eyes and was stunned, "General Wanqi in the envoy group is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also highly vigilant. We are not his opponent."
Wanqi Song is the most powerful general in China, and he is superb at using a curved sword.
He has been fighting all over the world since he was more than ten years old, and his hands are stained with thousands of lives. He is definitely not an easy person to deal with!
Tuoba Lan said coldly, "It is easy to dodge an open attack, but it is difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark. I have my own way to deal with him!"
Just as they were talking in secret, the maid's anxious voice came from outside the tent.
"Princess, General Wanqi wants you to come over."
Tuoba Lan left China as a maid. No one in the delegation knew of his existence, and no one knew why the princess chosen by their king to marry was already more than a month pregnant?
Even if Tuoba Xi was ignorant, he could guess why Wanqi Song asked him to come over.
She looked up at Tuoba Lan, her eyes flashed with panic, "General Wanqi came to me, he must be asking about the baby in my belly? How should I answer?"
Tuoba Lan's heart tightened, but his face showed tenderness, holding Tuoba Xi's hands tightly, "Xi'er, for the child in your belly and for our future, you must not let him know that I am also in Daxia!"
Tuoba Xi looked at him for a moment and nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, I won't say anything!"
Tuoba Lan was still worried, thought about it, and said, "I have a way to make Wanqi Song helpless against you."
As he said that, he leaned close to Tuoba Xi's ear and whispered a few words.
As soon as he finished speaking, the urging voice of the maid came from outside.
"Princess!"
The maid waited for a while, and when she saw that the people in the tent did not respond, she said, "Princess, are you there? I'm coming in!"
Tuoba Xi glanced at Tuoba Lan, put on her veil, and walked out of the tent. "No need, I just want to change my clothes."
She opened the curtain and said to the maid standing outside, "Let's go."
Now, she has lost her qualifications for marriage, and she is no longer of any use to Wanqi Song and China.
However, she is a princess after all, and no matter how angry Wanqi Song is, he can't do anything to her.
When the maid led Tuoba Xi into Wanqi Song's tent, she saw Wanqi Song standing there with a gloomy face.
Seeing the newcomer, he didn't even say a word, but asked directly, "Princess, who is the father of your baby?"
Since Zhong Shiwen diagnosed that Tuoba Xi was more than a month pregnant, the person who made her pregnant must be a Chinese.
This beast who disregards the interests of the country and tarnishes the princess's innocence must be killed!
Under Wanqi Song's questioning, Tuoba Xi did not give out Tuoba Lan, but touched her belly with a shy face, "General Wanqi, now that things have come to this, this princess will not hide it from you. In fact, His Majesty also knows that this princess is pregnant. And this child has a deep relationship with His Majesty."
Tuoba Lan is the son of the king, and the child in her belly is Tuoba Lan's child, the grandson of the king.
Her words were vague, and there was a suspicion of deliberate misleading.
Wan Qisong had indeed misunderstood, and stared at her belly with a puzzled look in his eyes, "You said this child is your Majesty's?"
Although Tuoba Yuan, the King of China, is Tuoba Xi's elder, Wanqi Song has known Tuoba Yuan for many years and knows too well how ridiculous he was in the past.
Not only did he have affairs with his cousins, he even did not let go of his own aunt.
Although Tuoba Xi is Tuoba Yuan's niece, no woman can escape once he sets his eyes on her.
Tuoba Xi looked at Wanqi Song's expression and continued to talk nonsense, "The reason why your majesty asked this princess to come to Daxia is to let my Chinese blood infiltrate the Daxia royal family. Unfortunately, this plan was discovered by Shen Chaoyan! This princess is pregnant now and cannot enter Sikong Yan's harem! I really failed your majesty's trust!"
Tuoba Xi followed Tuoba Lan's instructions and pushed the whole thing onto King Tuoba Yuan.
Even though others didn't know Tuoba Yuan's true face, Wanqi Song grew up with Tuoba Yuan and knew what kind of person he was.
Therefore, he believed Tuoba Xi's words.
After all, no woman would want to joke with her reputation, not to mention that Tuoba Xi was a princess.
