Chapter 717 - The Baby In Her Womb And His Highness (1/2)

The man was smiling faintly as if nothing had changed. However, he was truly astonished when he heard her reply, as clearly displayed by his profound eyes that suddenly widened.

Additionally, he s.h.i.+fted his vision from her face to her abdomen. His speechless expression, trying to stare through her abdomen, greatly pleased Helian Wei Wei.

“Isn’t it miraculous?” The smile on Helian Wei Wei’s lips grew.

Unexpectedly and shockingly, Baili Jia Jue suddenly bent down and carried her up.

In a blink of an eye, everyone looked away from the bloodstains in the Great Hall to both of them.

Even the Retired Emperor did not expect the cold brat to do this suddenly. He frowned and said, “Ah Jue, what are you doing? Please behave in Great Hall. Put Wei Wei down now.”

“She’s pregnant.” When the words fell, it was as if a bomb was dropped, causing the Great Hall to be completely filled with surprised gasps.

The Retired Emperor widened his eyes and stood up from his seat in shock. The wisdom in his voice suddenly vanished as he yelled, “What did you say? Wait a minute! Cold brat, you’d better come back and say it clearly!”

Baili Jia Jue simply ignored the noise behind him and carried Helian Wei Wei away. In a flash, he disappeared instantly and emerged a few meters away.

All the ministers were stunned and froze in their spots, with their mouth ajar.

The Retired Emperor pulled Eunuch Sun over and asked hurriedly, “Did you hear the cold brat just now? Did he just say Wei Wei is pregnant?”

Eunuch Sun was slightly stunned at the beginning as well. However, he recovered immediately when pulled and kept nodding, saying, “Retired Emperor, you heard it right. It’s true that Third Princess Consort is pregnant.”

“Hahaha! Wonderful! Wonderful!” The Retired Emperor said repeatedly. Unable to contain the overflowing joy on his face, he said, “These two kids hide this important matter from me, they are really… Tell me, he’s going to be a father soon, why does he still lack understanding for others.”

Eunuch Sun reacted swiftly and kneeled on the ground after listening to the Retired Emperor’s words. Beaming, he said, “Congratulations to Retired Emperor, congratulations! Our War Dragon Dynasty is going to have little prince!”

The ministers had an epiphany after listening to Eunuch Sun. Then, they quickly bent over and kneeled on the ground. The voice of congratulations echoed thunderously throughout the Great Hall.

Princess Consort was pregnant, this was an extremely joyous occasion for the entire War Dragon Dynasty.

All of the ministers were absolutely beaming, looking at each other and endlessly congratulating the Retired Emperor.

Blood was still flowing from Li Zhixiong’s wound. When he heard the furor around him, all blood instantly drained from his already ashen pale face.

So, Third Princess Consort was already pregnant.

So… what they had done were actually a slap at their faces.

In stark contrast to their evil intentions, she appeared very kind-hearted. Not only would Helian Wei Wei not lose her position, but the Retired Emperor would also most probably recognize her as his only daughter-in-law from now on.

Even if he talked his head off, the Retired Emperor would definitely not forgive him again.

As expected, the Retired Emperor glanced at him disdainfully and asked, “No news of pregnancy? I don’t want to hear this kind of words anymore!” Then, he commanded Eunuch Sun, “Give out my order, the members of Li and Wu families would be treated as ordinary people and can’t enjoy the benefits of a centennial family anymore. As for the person Li Zhixiong, lock him up and behead him after autumn. Take note and don’t his b.l.o.o.d.y stench disturb my royal great-grandson.”

“Yes, yes, yes,” Eunuch Sun answered successively. He always performed his duties meticulously.

Li Zhixiong had a.s.sumed that the worst scenario would be on the Third Prince’s bad side, even though he actually punished them this time.

Thus, he had to make sure that the prince married concubines.

However, he never thought that other than the Third Prince’s ruthless methods, the Third Princess Consort was actually pregnant.

Everything changed too fast. As Li Zhixiong listened to the Retired Emperor’s words, he felt a pang of regret, itching to give himself two slaps in the face.

He would surely die. This time, he was really screwed.
