Chapter 515 You...you are pregnant? !
Lan Xiyue looked at the middle-aged princess crying and wailing in a wheelchair like a mad woman, and a trace of undisguised contempt and physical disgust flashed across her eyes.
At this age, he is still acting so hypocritically and acting like a spoiled brat to the Queen Mother. It is really disgusting and makes my stomach churn.
She suppressed the discomfort and sneered in her heart: He is truly shameless and invincible.
"Listen! Lan Xiyue, listen to the good things you've done!" The Queen Mother was so irritated by Wen Shu's sobbing that her blood boiled. Her fingers trembled as she pointed at Lan Xiyue. "You are so cruel and mean! I was so blind to think you were gentle and kind! You must have known my identity and deliberately acted in front of me to deceive my trust, right?!"
Lan Xiyue rolled her eyes inwardly. Wasn't it said that the Queen Mother was seriously ill in Huguo Temple and needed to rest? Now, looking at her full of energy, her voice shaking the roof tiles when she scolded people, how could she look like she was terminally ill?
It seemed as if he had been so bored in the temple that he had let out his anger, and now he was taking it out on her, a "soft persimmon".
Speaking of which, the Empress Dowager's current "good spirits" are "thanks" to the spiritual spring water that Lan Xiyue gave to Yao Lao. Yao Lao used the spiritual spring water to make medicine and gave it to the Empress Dowager. Otherwise, how could the Empress Dowager be so lively and energetic and point at her nose and scold her so heartily?
Seeing the Queen Mother looking as if she wanted to eat her alive, Lan Xiyue took a deep breath and endured it!
Mo Liyuan's voice suddenly turned cold, like frost-covered iron. "Mother, you must be exhausted from the journey. I will escort you back to the palace to recuperate immediately."
The Queen Mother abruptly dropped the hand pointing at Lan Xiyue and turned abruptly, her sharp eyes glaring fiercely at Mo Liyuan. Her voice suddenly rose, filled with anger at being disobeyed: "What? I just said a few words to her, and you're unhappy? Are you heartbroken? Yuan'er, I think you've really been bewitched by her seductive face!"
Her chest heaved violently, and she was obviously very angry. She raised her hand and pointed directly at Lan Xiyue, saying in a firm tone, "One day I will personally choose a well-educated and well-mannered lady from a prominent family to be your principal wife! As for her..." The Queen Mother's gaze was like a poisoned needle, piercing Lan Xiyue, "Lan Xiyue, your virtue is unworthy of this position! Effective immediately, you will be demoted to a concubine!"
Mo Liyuan's brows instantly twisted into a deep "chuan" shape, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Mother! This is absolutely unacceptable! Your son..."
"Your Majesty, what you said is absolutely right!" Princess Wenshu seemed to have grasped a lifeline, and she couldn't wait to shriek in agreement, with a twisted smile of gloating joy on her face. "Who is Lan Xiyue? She is so vulgar and vicious. How can she be worthy of the position of princess? She should..."
"Shut up!" Mo Liyuan suddenly turned his head, his gaze like two real ice cones, wrapped in terrifying murderous aura, piercing Princess Wenshu. It was as if he was looking at a dead person, with undisguised murderous intent.
Princess Wenshu felt as if her throat was strangled, and the rest of her words were instantly stuck in her throat. She trembled with fear, her face turned pale as paper, and cold sweat instantly seeped out of her forehead. She hurriedly shrank her neck and fell silent, not daring to say another word.
"Ugh!" At this moment, a clear and abrupt retching sound was heard.
Lan Xiyue clutched her chest, her brows furrowed, her face wrinkled. She was utterly disgusted by Princess Wenshu's affected, shrill voice. Her stomach churned, and she couldn't help but retching.
The sound instantly attracted everyone's attention.
There was a sudden silence in the warm room. The Queen Mother, Mo Liyuan, Princess Wenshu, and even the palace maids beside them all focused their eyes on Lan Xiyue. Their expressions varied, some were probing, some were suspicious, and there was even a flash of malicious calculation in Princess Wenshu's eyes.
Lan Xiyue was bewildered by the stares, blinked blankly, and put down her hands that were covering her chest helplessly: "...What's wrong?" She didn't understand why she became the focus of the whole audience just because she vomited because of nausea?
Mo Liyuan's expression suddenly changed, and the cold and violent look in his expression was instantly replaced by extreme tension.
He rushed to Lan Xiyue's side, stretched out his long arms and half embraced her in his arms. His warm palm eagerly covered her forehead and checked her pulse. His voice was filled with undisguised anxiety and concern: "Yu'er! What's wrong with you? Where do you feel uncomfortable? Did you get angry just now?"
Lan Xiyue was a little confused by his sudden nervousness. She shook her head subconsciously, her voice a little helpless: "No... I'm fine..."
Mo Liyuan looked at her carefully and saw that she did not seem to be in critical condition. His tense nerves finally relaxed slightly and he breathed a sigh of relief, but the worry in his eyes had not completely dissipated.
The Queen Mother's gaze became extremely sharp. She glanced suspiciously back and forth between Lan Xiyue's flat belly and her slightly pale face, as if she had discovered some shocking secret. She blurted out, "You...you're pregnant?!"
"Ah?!" Lan Xiyue's eyes widened instantly, and she was so shocked that she almost jumped up. This misunderstanding was a big one! She was about to explain: "No, I..."
"I'm going to be a father?!" Mo Liyuan's voice suddenly rose, filled with incredible ecstasy, instantly drowning out Lan Xiyue's weak defense.
His handsome face instantly blossomed with dazzling brilliance, and immense joy overwhelmed him like a torrent. He suddenly tightened his arms and hugged Lan Xiyue tightly, so tightly that he seemed to knead her into his bones and blood. His deep voice trembled slightly with excitement: "Yu'er! That's great! This is really great! I'm going to be a father!"
"No! Mo Liyuan! Listen to me..." Lan Xiyue was strangled by him and could hardly breathe. She was anxious and embarrassed, and tried to push him away to explain clearly.
"Be good, Yue'er, don't say anything. What you need most right now is rest." Mo Liyuan was completely immersed in the ecstasy of being a father at the moment and was unable to listen.
Without saying a word, he leaned over and picked up Lan Xiyue sideways, holding her steadily in his arms. He turned around and walked towards the bed in the inner room. His movements were gentle and cherishing, as if he was holding a rare treasure.
"Mo Liyuan! Put me down! I really..." Lan Xiyue struggled in vain in his arms, her voice filled with shame and anger.
Mo Liyuan had just taken two steps carrying her when he suddenly stopped. He turned his head and looked at the empress dowager, whose face was gloomy and her eyes were complicated. The ecstasy on his face subsided a little, and his voice returned to his usual indifference, but with a firmness that brooked no argument: "Mother, Yue'er is pregnant and needs to rest and take care of the baby. It's noisy here. I will immediately send someone to escort you back to the Cining Palace to recuperate."
"Hmph!" The Queen Mother snorted with extreme disdain, her eyes as cold as ice. "Isn't it just a pregnancy? Look how nervous you are! She, Lan Xiyue, is truly precious. When I was pregnant with you..."
