Chapter 25 World 1: The Dark Emperor’s Pet (23)
"Mother Yi," the Seventh Prince straightened up, "I heard that Concubine Rong is extremely beautiful. The Bai family is indeed good at educating their daughters."
"Seventh Prince, if you have something to say, just say it." Imperial Concubine Yi was getting impatient. She hated Imperial Concubine Jing, so naturally she disliked her son even more, even if she had killed Imperial Concubine Jing and even if the Seventh Prince was the only heir.
“Mother Concubine Yi, do you think there is anyone in the palace who is loyal to our father?” The Seventh Prince was not angry, but instead had some meaningful words in his voice.
"Seventh Prince, you don't have to worry about your father's affairs. As a prince, aren't you afraid that your father's affairs will be leaked if you inquire about them?" Concubine Yi threatened.
“Mother, make sure you don’t get your eyes pecked while hunting geese all day. That’s all I have to say.” The Seventh Prince bowed and took his leave.
"Your Majesty, what does the Seventh Prince mean?" Hanxiang didn't understand.
"He is telling me that he wants to get rid of Bai Lingxi." Concubine Yi understood it very well.
"Also, we must strike first." Concubine Yi guessed that the emperor was going to take action against her.
"But, Your Majesty, why would the Seventh Prince help us?" Hanxiang didn't understand. The Seventh Prince and Your Majesty had a blood feud, so how could he possibly help Your Majesty?
"Because he wants to benefit from it." Imperial Concubine Yi knew that if the Seventh Prince instigated her to take action, he would be executed by the Emperor regardless of success or failure.
The Seventh Prince reaped the benefits without having to spend a single soldier, but she didn't let Hanxiang know this.
Did the Seventh Prince think he was so easy to use? Perhaps - it was hard to tell who was using whom?
There were never any secrets in the palace. Soon, the news that Concubine Yi and the Queen were both under house arrest spread throughout the palace.
Luanxi Pavilion.
The emperor sent Bai Lingxi to the bed and rubbed her legs, telling her not to get too tired.
Bai Lingxi blinked her big eyes: "Your Majesty, why are you rubbing my legs?"
The emperor smiled dotingly and pinched her delicate nose: "My dear, you don't know yet that you are pregnant."
Bai Lingxi was surprised. She was pregnant with a rabbit?
Perhaps, this is a good opportunity for the Bai family to rise.
Although Bai Lingxi is simple, she never lets down her guard at critical moments: "Your Majesty, am I really going to be a mother?"
Bai Lingxi was in disbelief at first, then excited and happy, and finally suddenly felt depressed.
The emperor noticed her change of mood and held her in his arms: "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly unhappy?"
Bai Lingxi's eyes were red and she was in a low mood: "Your Majesty, I think of my mother. I, I am worried about them."
The emperor sighed helplessly. The family had undergone such a big change, and it was normal for her to be frightened. Seeing a beautiful woman crying, I felt pity for her. He felt his heart being pulled up: "My dear, don't cry."
The emperor coaxed her softly, "Be careful that our prince will be born a crybaby."
Emperor: "Your parents were also implicated by Imperial Concubine Yi. I have already found out the truth. After Imperial Concubine Yi is punished, I will give justice to the Bai family."
Bai Lingxi shook her head: "But, will this affect your prestige? I don't want you to get hurt."
The emperor was pleased that his Xi'er always cared about him, so he naturally had to fulfill her wish: "No, I am the Son of Heaven, and I must pacify the injustices in the world. The Bai family is innocent, and there is no need to punish them."
The emperor reached out and touched Bai Lingxi's belly again: "Besides, our prince must have a strong maternal family."
"Your Majesty, I, I want to cry." Bai Lingxi put her arms around the emperor's neck and snuggled into his arms, acting coquettishly.
