Chapter 283 Zhang Cheng Bloodline
Yu Qinghuan's call of "Your Majesty" was so delicate and charming that it made Xiao Jinghe's bones go soft.
Since he ascended the throne, everyone has been shouting like this, but no one shouts as beautifully as she does.
As long as it wasn't about business, he would agree to whatever Yu Qinghuan said.
"With me here, no one dares to bully you, but doing business in the capital is not easy..."
He wanted to say more, but Yu Qinghuan put her hand over his mouth, preventing him from continuing.
"I've made up my mind, no matter what you say."
The slender fingertips touched Xiao Jinghe's lips, with a faint fragrance.
Xiao Jinghe was slightly startled, his Adam's apple rolled, but he was finally defeated.
He held Yu Qinghuan's wrist, not too hard or too soft, but not allowing her to break free. He said in a deep voice: "Okay, I will do whatever you want to do in the future, but you are in poor health now, so please come back to the palace with me and stay there for a while until the child is born..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the sudden arrival of a carriage.
A figure came down from the carriage, wearing a purple official robe, and walked in front of the two of them. It was Cheng Gongjin.
In the carriage, Sang Ru stared wide-eyed. What day is today? Why are they all together?
Xie Zhiwen naturally knew Cheng Gongjin, his friend's teacher, but he didn't know what he was doing here.
Somehow, he had a vague bad feeling in his heart.
Cheng Gongjin bowed to Xiao Jinghe, then reached out and pulled Yu Qinghuan from in front of Xiao Jinghe to his side. "She will not enter the palace. It is getting late. Your Majesty, please return to the palace as soon as possible."
Such a sentence provoked Xiao Jinghe's raging anger, "Cheng Gongjin, you dare to hide my woman!"
Cheng Gongjin had an indifferent expression. Even when facing the current emperor, his aura remained undiminished. It even seemed that he was even more powerful than Xiao Jinghe.
"Your Majesty stole my woman. I just took her back from the palace."
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Jinghe's face turned green, "Cheng Gongjin, are you tired of living?"
Now everyone in the capital knows that I want to enthrone Yu Qinghuan, but he still wants to interfere and snatch the woman from me.
Even though Cheng Gongjin had the merit of following the emperor, he would not allow anyone to covet his woman.
Yu Qinghuan looked at Cheng Gongjin beside her with concern, and saw that Cheng Gongjin was still the same as always, which made her feel a little relieved.
After all, Cheng Gongjin is not Xie Zhili, and will not be controlled by Xiao Jinghe.
"Your Majesty, don't you know how many days I have left to live?"
As he said this, under Xiao Jinghe's gaze, Cheng Gongjin reached out and put his arm around Yu Qinghuan's waist, pulling her into his arms.
Xiao Jinghe's expression suddenly became a little unnatural. He knew that Cheng Gongjin was poisoned when he was investigating Prince Rui.
This poison has been used by all the emperors of the Xiao family to control people's minds.
Even though there was a solution, he had no intention of giving it to Cheng Gongjin after he ascended the throne. This man could help him get rid of Prince Rui and his father, but who knew if one day he would reveal his wolfish ambitions and rebel.
Therefore, using this poison to get rid of Cheng Gongjin without anyone knowing was also what he wanted to do after he ascended the throne.
Their eyes met, and the smell of gunpowder spread between them.
Upon hearing this, Yu Qinghuan subconsciously looked at Xiao Jinghe, his expression slightly changed, "What do you mean?"
Not wanting his sweetheart to discover his vicious side, Xiao Jinghe could only pretend not to know, "I don't know what you are talking about."
As he spoke, he looked at Yu Qinghuan and extended his hand towards her, "Huanhuan, come here."
Yu Qinghuan did not move. Because of what Cheng Gongjin had just said, she was full of doubts. Could it be that Xiao Jinghe also knew that Cheng Gongjin was infected with the cold poison?
Cheng Gongjin lowered his eyes and glanced at Yu Qinghuan. Seeing that she was staying obediently in his arms and showed no signs of leaving, he felt a strange feeling in his heart.
So that every word he said was like a knife, stabbing Xiao Jinghe's heart.
"Your Majesty probably doesn't know that back in Jiuchong Mountain, I saved Madam Yu's life. Knowing that I didn't have much time left, she took the initiative to leave me the Cheng family bloodline in return for her gratitude."
When these words were spoken, not only Xiao Jinghe was shocked, but Yu Qinghuan himself was dumbfounded.
Even Xie Zhiwen, who was hiding not far away, looked shocked, as if he had been struck by lightning.
Yu Qinghuan stared at Cheng Gongjin in a daze. This man even touched her belly, as if to comfort the baby in her belly, acting like the biological father of the child.
She couldn't help but recall the time when Xie Zhili faced Xiao Jinghe in the Dali Temple. It was obvious that he was not as tough as Cheng Gongjin is now.
This man really had power and was fearless. He even dared to compete with the emperor for people.
If Xiao Jinghe hadn't been here, Yu Qinghuan would have even wanted to hug Cheng Gongjin and kiss him from head to toe. This man was truly a treasure, and he was becoming more and more fragrant.
She could hardly remember why she hated Cheng Gongjin when they were in Jiuchong Mountain. She even thought that she might have been blinded by greed and distanced herself from this man.
People's joys and sorrows are incomparable. At this moment, Xiao Jinghe's face was gloomy, and he asked Cheng Gongjin in a cold voice: "You said the child in her belly... is yours!?"
Cheng Gongjin responded without hesitation, "Yes."
In the carriage, Sang Ru couldn't help but stick his head out to look again. Among so many people, only Lord Cheng had the ability to fight against Xiao Jinghe.
I just don’t know what the Marquis is thinking while watching the show.
The hand that Xiao Jinghe stretched out towards Yu Qinghuan froze in mid-air, his knuckles turning blue and white from the force.
He stared at Cheng Gongjin's hand on Yu Qinghuan's waist, his ears buzzing, as if someone was hammering Cheng Gongjin's words into his skull with a hammer.
"Ridiculous!" Xiao Jinghe suddenly shouted, "The child in her belly is clearly Xie Zhili's. Do you think I don't know?!"
"Xie Zhili?" Cheng Gongjin sneered, his fingertips casually stroking Yu Qinghuan's waist and pressing it. "How can a loser who can't even protect a woman be worthy of being a father?"
Yu Qinghuan was shocked. These words were so wild and vicious.
It was the first time she heard Cheng Gongjin speak so sharply. It seemed that he was really not afraid that Xiao Jinghe would kill him by giving him a cup of poisoned wine in a fit of rage.
But the person hurt by these words was not Xiao Jinghe, but Xie Zhiwen in the dark.
His figure swayed and his face turned pale. Cheng Gongjin's words... seemed to be talking about Xie Zhili, but they were clearly directed at him.
Compared with Xiao Jinghe, at this moment, Xie Zhiwen could not accept that the adulterer who made Yu Qinghuan pregnant was actually Cheng Gongjin!
The elder whom he once respected very much, the man whom Mu Huaian had called teacher when he was a child.
Xie Zhiwen staggered back a step, his knuckles clenched white and his nails dug deep into his palms.
He stared intently at Cheng Gongjin's hand on Yu Qinghuan's waist. In his anger, a surge of depression rushed to his head, and a fishy-sweet taste surged in his throat...
How could Cheng Gongjin do such a shameless thing that is outrageous to both humans and gods!
There are so many women in the world, why did he choose to target Ah Huan? Why?
