Chapter 716: “I’m Pregnant.”



Even the common civilians would not tolerate this kind of shameful behavior, let alone the royal family.


Who would accept a woman who behaved promiscuously with a servant to be their daughter-in-law?


The husband would simply become a cuckold.


It would be a wonder if the Retired Emperor did not behead that person.


All of the ministers exchanged nervous glances with one another, as their faces were filled with astonishment and disdain. No one could have predicted Lord Wu to be so daring, committing a sin that would cause his entire clan to be slaughtered.


Lord Wu’s face darkened instantly and his forehead was spotted with bloodstains. Then, he collapsed onto the ground in Great Hall.


He did not expect that someone would find out about his daughter’s affairs and reveal it.


Now, even though he was one of the ministers who had followed Retired Emperor for since the beginning, he was truly ruined.


Lord Wu was filled with regrets as tears cascaded down his cheeks. His legs shivered so violently that it gave away.


The Retired Emperor was already fuming with wrath, his eyes seemed to be flaming in rage as he bellowed, “Nonsense! That’s really monkey business! Servants, drag Wu Yong away and behead him!”


“Yes.” The guards acted so swiftly that Lord Wu did not have a chance to utter another word…


Lady Wu who was kneeling on the ground did not want to speak up originally. After all, this incident was very embarrassing and she was being scrutinized by everyone in the Great Hall. She was so ashamed that she wished she could dig a hole and bury herself. However, when she saw her father being brought away, she cried out in tears without concern about her slovenly appearance, “Retired Emperor, you can’t do this. My father had worked selflessly for you for many years. The Wu family has also made countless notable contributions. You can’t behead my father for such a small reason. After all, the root of this problem is because the Third Princess Consort…”


“Shut up!” It would have been better if Lady Wu had remained silent. When she spoke, the Retired Emperor could not contain the fury hidden in his heart anymore. He threw the wine cup in his hand at her forcefully, hitting her head with a thud. Then, he growled, “How dare you mention his contributions! Do you mean that anyone with contributions could send a debauched woman like you to my royal family? I’m warning you, don’t say another word! I’ve been nice to you for not slaughtering your entire Wu clan”


Lady Wu had never seen the Retired Emperor became angry with her. After all, the Wu family’s status was quite high. Furthermore, she behaved well usually and frequently heard praises from the Retired Emperor. Now, her forehead was hit violently instead. Initially, she felt pain from the strike, but after hearing the Retired Empire’s vicious words, her face became pale and red. She was so frightened, her entire body went limp. She no longer dared to utter another sound and simply continued kowtowing.


No one interceded for the Wu father and daughter for multiple reasons. Firstly, the Third Prince’s methods were brutal and deadly. Secondly, Wu Yong’s actions were too immoral.


He accused the Third Princess Consort of being a ‘dangerous beauty’ so he could push his licentious daughter into the palace. This kind of person deserved to be killed.


Li Zhixiong became deathly terrified when he heard the sound of the raising blade outside. Although his left leg was still in throbbing pain, he was more afraid of something else, that was the man currently standing near him.


The Third Prince must have known about the incident of Old Wu’s family. Otherwise, he would not be able to catch the Wu girl red-handed.


Had they been smart enough to avoid messing with him, perhaps they would not meet such a terrible demise.


Unfortunately, they hit the nail on the head and attempted to mess with the thing he cherished the most.


Li Zhixiong dared not imagine what was waiting for him ahead. Fear flooded his entire body, like an unstoppable rising tide. He no longer cared about his bleeding left leg as he kept begging for mercy, pleading that he had no idea Lady Wu was so indecent.


Baili Jia Jue did not glance at him at all, but he did not ask people to drag him to the guillotine either. Instead, he let him tremble in fear unceasingly in the middle of the Great Hall.



At first, Li Zhixiong felt relieved. However, after half a minute had passed, he realized that the Third Prince was doing it on purpose.


He made him let his guard down as he wanted him to feel the unspeakable, stabbing pain.


Since the wound on his left leg was bleeding profusely, he would naturally die within two hours, even if His Highness did not punish him.


The Retired Emperor also greatly detested these two ministers.


He knew how well Helian Wei Wei had performed in the Capital. This kind of daughter-in-law was simply one in a million.


Slandering Helian Wei Wei as a dangerous woman did sound like an amazing idea to them.


When the Xuanyuan Kingdom sent their messenger here, he discovered that a powerful and influential nation like the War Dragon Dynasty did not even have a qualified exorcist.


What have the four influential families been doing all these years?


They would only suggest political marriage and keep retreating when facing the enemy. They did not have an ounce of the bloodthirsty instinct a War Dragon Dynasty’s civilian should possess!


Without Helian Wei Wei, our entire War Dragon Dynasty would be utterly disgraced!


He had no idea what his dear grandson would turn into. Perhaps, he would become a murderer who committed innumerable murders, or a person who possessed no spirit and vitality.


The Retired Emperor became distressed as he recalled the sufferings that Baili Jia Jue endured during his childhood, and his expression when he walked out of the fire during the incident.


The Retired Emperor had since come around, it did not matter even if Helian Wei Wei could not get pregnant in the future.


He still had Little Seven, right? When he grew up into an adult in the future, the bloodline of the royal family would survive and continue.


At that thought, the Retired Emperor did not utter a word but simply stroked Little Seven’s head. He did not even glance at the bloodstains on the floor.


Li Zhixiong became more anxious when he noticed the Retired Emperor’s attitude. He kept pleading and begging, “Retired Emperor, you have to believe me. I really don’t know anything. I only have His Highness and the royal family’s best wishes in mind. That’s why I was concerned about the royal family bloodline! Retired Emperor, please!”


Of course, Helian Wei Wei knew what High Highness was going to do. She also understood what Li Zhixiong was currently talking about.


This person really deserves to die.


However, staining to the Great Hall in blood and ruining the Retired Emperor’s mood for a useless person like him was not worth it…


“What did you want to tell me just now?”


While Helian Wei Wei was absorbed in her thoughts, Baili Jia Jue had already walked back to her. He used his long, fair fingers to take another chestnut and seemed to be planning to continue feeding her. His movement was naturally elegant while his lateral face was still handsome and regal, it was as if what had happened in the Great Hall had nothing to do with her.


Helian Wei Wei heard him and edged closer to his ear, whispering, “I’m pregnant.” Her voice was quiet, while a languid smile hung on her face.


Baili Jia Jue was peeling the chestnuts, but he instantly froze. He was dumbfounded for a moment, and put down the chestnut in his hand. Then, he asked calmly, “What did you say?”


His tone was very deep when he uttered those words, sounding very pleasing and magnetic, as usual.


“I’m pregnant,” Helian Wei Wei repeated. She squinted and moved closer to observe His Highness’ facial expression…
