Chapter 524 You're All Not Enough
"Didn't you consider what if the Empress had children?"
Qin Mu's voice wasn't loud, but it sounded louder than thunder to everyone, leaving them all stunned.
"Qin Mu, what... do you mean by this?" Qin Mu's face darkened.
"As I just said, you invited one less person today. You bypassed the Empress in the matter of electing a new emperor. Don't you find that ridiculous?"
"When I met the Empress the other day, she didn't mention that she was pregnant, which is why she made such a lapse today. But... Qin Mo, how did you know?"
Qin Mu stared intently at Qin Mo as he asked the question, and everyone else's eyes were also fixed on Qin Mo. "The Empress did not tell the Prince of Yan about her pregnancy, but she did tell you. What is your relationship?"
Faced with Qin Mu's questioning, Qin Mo calmly replied, "I originally wanted to sit in that position, so naturally I had to ask the Empress's opinion and see if I was qualified. As a result, she gave me a good scolding."
"The Empress said, 'You dare to compete with my child for the throne? How many heads do you have?'" Qin Mo spread her hands and said, "That's why I knew the Empress was pregnant! Otherwise..."
Qin Mo abandoned his nonchalant demeanor, a slight smirk playing on his lips as he looked disdainfully at those around him and said, "If the Empress weren't pregnant, do you think I... wouldn't be able to sit in that chair?"
Ignoring the countless angry gazes around her, Qin Mo said bluntly, "As for you? In my eyes... you're really not worth mentioning!"
"Too arrogant..."
"So arrogant! What makes you think you deserve to sit in the first seat? Why are you looking at me like that?... Uh!"
"Arrogant and disrespectful, that's really... uh!"
“............”
Qin Mu's words enraged the young people in the hall. They pointed at Qin Mo and berated him, but as Qin Mo's cold and ruthless gaze fell upon them like that of a dead man, they gradually shut their mouths.
Strength is the only true measure of power. Qin Mo has killed a King Knight and an Orc King who are comparable to the Earth Realm, and has also fought against the strongest Orc Great Witch several times. The fierce aura honed by such high-level battles is something that these guys who play hide-and-seek on the battlefield cannot withstand.
"Qin Mo, you are indeed a genius among the younger generation of the Great Xia, but you have the blood of a foreign race. The legitimate lineage of the Great Xia... cannot be allowed to be touched by you?" Qin Mu looked at the pale faces of the "royal talents" in the hall, their eyes wandering and not daring to meet Qin Mo's gaze. Finally, he could no longer sit idly by and attacked Qin Mo's vitals.
"Prince Yan, are you talking to me about the legitimacy of your bloodline? Then which of you has a more legitimate bloodline than the late emperor's orphan?" Qin Mo retorted without hesitation.
Qin Mu stared at Qin Mo for a long time, then stood up and said, "Please wait a moment, I'm going to the palace!"
"Thank you, Your Highness. I must also go and congratulate the Empress!" Lu Sheng was so excited when he heard Qin Mo say that Wang Yushi was pregnant that he couldn't contain himself. When he saw Qin Mu about to enter the palace, he followed him out and bowed to Qin Mu before leaving.
Qin Mo felt a little apologetic. He knew what Lu Sheng meant; he was thanking him for not competing with Wang Yushi's unborn child for the throne.
The Imperial Clan Court and the Imperial Palace are only separated by a street. It only takes Qin Mu a short while to see Wang Yushi, but that short time feels incredibly long, tormenting everyone's hearts.
"Let me in, my Grand Secretary is inside!"
Who is making a disturbance outside?
"Uncle, it's me, Xiao Mingxun!"
"Let him in!"
A figure rushed in; it was the same guy who had acted all high and mighty with Qin Mo outside the palace gates yesterday. He hurriedly approached Xiao Xinyan and leaned close to his ear to speak anxiously.
Xiao Xinyan's expression first brightened, then froze, then underwent a series of complex changes, and finally he turned to look at Xiao Mingxun, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Lord Xiao, has Consort Liu given birth?"
"Uh... this..."
Xiao Mingxun then realized that there were experts at the Heavenly Realm present, and no matter how softly he whispered, it would not escape their ears.
“Lord Xiao, I think I heard… Consort Liu has given birth, but the baby… has a problem, is that right?” Prince Anle asked Xiao Xinyan.
"This... Consort Liu was frightened and her pregnancy was threatened. The imperial physicians should be able to help!"
"Oh! The royal family has a new member; we should go and pay our respects!"
"Your Highness, please wait. Consort Liu has just given birth, and there are many inconveniences due to the difference between men and women... Perhaps the imperial physician should go first..."
Prince Chang Le wanted to see the child immediately, but Xiao Xinyan tried to stop him. The two of them pushed and shoved each other, leaving everyone else confused.
"The fetus really did have a problem; Shia was right!"
If anyone present could guess the truth, it would definitely be Qin Mo, because Xia had once told him that the cursed Fountain of Life would greatly stimulate human lust, but the resulting fetus would have a high chance of being deformed. His abnormal hearing had also heard Xiao Mingxun's words clearly, so he naturally knew that Xia's words had come true.
"Why is it so noisy?" Qin Mu finally returned and saw the two arguing as soon as he entered the door.
"Qin Mu, Consort Liu has given birth, but the child is not doing well, and Lord Xiao forbids us from visiting her!"
"Such an important matter cannot be delayed! Summon the imperial physician, let's go together!"
Both princes insisted on seeing the child, and Xiao Xinyan could no longer stop them. A group of people poured out of the Imperial Clan Court, each with their own thoughts, and headed towards the Xiao residence.
