The Anarchic Consort c1-1376

by Warring Young Seven

Even if Third Prince did not want to marry a concubine, he could not do anything to them.

  As the minister had calculated the outcome perfectly, he naturally felt very confident.

  When the minister saw this scene, he realized that it was the end for him.

  His daughter was fine in everything but she was unsettled. She always lost her reservation whenever she saw a handsome man.

  Due to her promiscuity, he had dismissed many people, but he did not expect that she had not changed her ugly habit.

  She was released and before she could see her surroundings, her eyes met her father's face. Instantly, she became agitated and pulled the servant beside her over, trying to use him as a shield to hide. At the same time, she said, "Daddy, I won't do it anymore. This is my last, this really is my last time. I won't do this again after I've entered the palace!"

  If she had remained silent, the situation would still be salvageable. However, her speaking up was tantamount to admitting to everything.

  When the minister heard her, his head felt dizzy and his face felt burningly hot, slowly asphyxiating him.

  Baili Jia Jue spoke elegantly and casually, "This is one of the concubines that Lord Wu wants me to marry. I know that she's your only daughter and you always favor her. You also hope that she could lead a happy life in the future. It would be best if she could marry someone high-ranking. However, how dare you choose a woman who made immoral love with her servant to be my concubine? I've rejected your suggestion but you tried to rile me up by mentioning 'dangerous beauty'! Hah, do you think you have the right to do so?"

  "I, I..." the minister stammered nervously as his lips quivered in fear. His overconfidence had vanished, while his previously arrogant and relentless attitude changed completely. He kneeled on the ground and endlessly plead for mercy, crying, "Your Highness, I had simply lost my marbles. I beg Your Highness for your mercy, please overlook this since I've made great contributions to the country! Please give me mercy!"

  The ministers immediately realized what was happening. It was obvious that there was something wrong with Lady Wu's behavior and Lord Wu had known about this. It was her daughter, after all. It was impossible for him to be in the dark about it.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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 a.d.u.l.t 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 Littl
e 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!"

  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 c.h.e.s.tnut 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 c.h.e.s.tnuts, but he instantly froze. He was dumbfounded for a moment, and put down the c.h.e.s.tnut 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...

  Chapter 717 - The Baby In Her W.o.m.b And His Highness

  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 shifted 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 bloody stench disturb my royal great-grandson."

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

  Li Zhixiong had assumed 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.

  Not only him, but the entire Li family would meet their end...

  ...

  Helian Wei Wei was being carried in Baili Jia Jue's arm outside the hall. Inevitably, she could not move freely. So, she continued to ask, "Oh yeah, do you prefer a boy or a girl?"

  Baili Jia Jue's train of thought was still paused in her previous answer.

  Humans were very vulnerable, especially when a woman was pregnant. Hence, extra precaution and attention would be needed in a lot of matters.

  As he fed her some c.h.e.s.tnuts just now, he wondered if there would be any adverse effects.

  Furthermore, he did not understand children at all.

  Are they like Little Seven, who only knows how to eat?

  He's a devil, though.

  Devil has always been emotionless.

  Even though he seemed like humans on the surface and adopted humans' elegance and manners, he was viciously cold deep down his bone.

  Only this woman in his arms could stir his emotions in the entire world.

  As for the one in her w.o.m.b… it better behaves.

  Helian Wei Wei noticed that he was not answering her, so she pulled his hand and placed it on her abdomen, saying, "The baby is moving actively in my abdomen. Feel it."

  After listening to Helian Wei Wei's words, Baili Jia Jue let her sit on his own long legs, before seating himself inside the ancient pavilion. He leaned sideways and pressed his ear against Helian Wei Wei's abdomen. However, he did not feel any movement after listening to it for some time. He pursed his lips and asked it, "Aren't you gonna move?"

  Helian Wei Wei also wondered why it was quiet now, even though it was very active before this, saying, "Perhaps the kid fell asleep."

  Fell asleep?

  Baili Jia Jue kept silent but the smile at the corner of his lips turned evil.

  In his opinion, it had eaten too much.

  The little devil required a huge supply of dark Qi for nourishment every day, especially since the little devil had just formed

  No wonder the royal palace had b
ecome very clean.

  There was no need for Fire Qilin to continue his investigation anymore because the root of all these troubles was right here.

  "What's happening?" Without knowing the reason, Helian Wei Wei felt that His Highness' facial expression was quite peculiar.

  Baili Jia Jue moved his hands gently and spoke cheerfully, saying, "Nothing. I just think that it's necessary to educate him on the correct dining manners."

  After it was conceived, it immediately scared away all the dead souls in the imperial palace. It's really dumb.

  As he was thinking, Baili Jia Jue placed his large hand onto Helian Wei Wei's abdomen again...

  However, a force kicked at his palm ferociously, as if to retort his words.

  "The kid isn't born yet, how can you teach him dining manners? Wait a minute, he moved. He really moved!" Helian Wei Wei was pleasantly surprised, her smile was exceptionally gentle as she asked, "Did you sense that?"

  Chapter 718 - Before Becoming A Father And A Son (Part 1)

  "The kid isn't born yet, how can you teach him dining manners? Wait a minute, he moved. He really moved!" Helian Wei Wei was pleasantly surprised, her smile was exceptionally gentle as she asked, "Did you sense that?"

  "Yes." Baili Jia Jue narrowed his eyes. Not only did he sense it, but he also felt that the kick was unusually strong...

  Helian Wei Wei smiled wider and pushed him aside, before stroking her abdomen. She wondered if it was simply a false impression, but the kick just now was heavier than usual. Then, she chirped, "He's excited to see you. He's even greeting you."

  Greeting me?

  Baili Jia Jue, who was being pushed away, smirked wickedly. That kick was not a greeting. Instead, he was sure that the thing was challenging him.

  Heh, good, very good...

  Helian Wei Wei, who was drowned in joy, did not notice the meaningful stare from His Highness.

  However, the number of palaces maids serving her had evidently increased when they returned to Jiuchong Hall.
