Chapter 297

"The King of Wei has arrived—"

The huge team surrounded Su Yichen and walked towards the Imperial Garden, attracting everyone's attention.

Even though he was disabled and sitting in a wheelchair, no one dared to look down on His Royal Highness the King of Wei, who had made great military achievements. He was wearing a gray-purple sleeveless casual suit, and the slightly raised collar made his perfect jaw and neck lines look even more resolute and sexy.

The hem of his shirt is tied to his top with a waist belt inlaid with sapphires. His shoulders are broad and his waist is narrow. Even with clothes on, the marks of his training cannot be concealed. His well-developed muscles, straight back, and waistline are full of sexual tension.

"Yi Chen, you are finally here. You are the protagonist today. If you didn't come, the banquet could not be held." Emperor Yan Qian said.

Su Yichen's lips were thin, and from a distance they looked as if they were pursed, relaxed yet serious. "I received a message from the military camp, so I left the imperial city for a while. I hope the emperor will forgive me for my late arrival."

"How can you say that? You and I are as close as brothers, and everything you do is for the country of Dongyuan. How can I blame you? Come, please hold a seat for His Royal Highness the King of Wei."

Su Yichen waved his hand and said, "No need, I will just sit next to Qing'er."

Emperor Yan Qian did not expect Su Yichen to be so direct and refute him in front of so many people. As if to regain his dignity, he said, "Look, Princess Wei already has concubines and concubines around her. They will definitely take good care of her. Come and sit next to me."

Su Yichen didn't appreciate it at all: "I was exhausted from the journey from the military camp back to the imperial city. During this time, I came into contact with at least 100 dead bodies. I dare not offend the dragon's majesty with my filthy aura."

"This……"

Ancient people had feudal ideas and would rather believe in ghosts than not believe in them. Emperor Yan Qian was in a dilemma for a while.

But there is no reason to take back what has been said. If he agrees with Su Yichen, wouldn't it mean that he is pretending to have a deep friendship with the King of Wei, and is selfish and worried that he will be tainted with bad luck.

Concubine Guo Shu reacted very quickly, she stood up and said, "The Princess of Wei is pregnant, and it is natural for His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei to be so eager to protect his wife. It is my fault that I did not know the etiquette and took up the seat, hindering the reunion of the Prince of Wei's family. Your Majesty, please set up His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei's seat here, and I will accompany you."

Concubine Guo Shufei made two key points in one sentence. She not only helped Emperor Yan Qian save face, but also pretended to be casual and let everyone present know that Xu Ruqing was pregnant.

The gossiping ladies were whispering to each other, and the talk was getting louder and louder.

"When did this happen? You didn't even tell me that you were pregnant?" Su Yichen came and sat down next to Xu Ruqing. Even with the mask on, one could see that he was smiling and the tenderness in his eyes was about to overflow.

He had been looking forward to this day for who knows how long. Even though he knew that she was deliberately spiteful and didn't tell him, he couldn't bear to blame her at all.

He suppressed his inner excitement and took her hand and held it in his. Maybe it was because of the weather, but her little hand felt a little cold.

Xu Ruqing said nothing. She wanted to pull her hand back, but Su Yichen held it tightly. "Your hands are cold. Let me warm them up."

For some reason, Xu Ruqing felt very uncomfortable with his concern for her. His coercion made her resist for no reason.

The more this happened, the more it reminded her of the nights when he forced himself on her, and how her whole soul had been shattered by the man's repeated blows.

"I don't need it. I don't feel cold. Besides, it's not good to have so many people watching. Please let me go."

Su Yichen didn't intend to let go: "They have their own eyes, they can look if they want."

"..."

Su Yichen said patiently and concernedly: "You are in a very tight condition now. When you go out in the future, ask Zhiqu Qiuju to prepare a blanket and a hand warmer so that you won't get cold."

Speaking of Qiuju, I don't know where that girl has gone. She hasn't shown up until the banquet is halfway through.

"it is good."

Chu Yu felt sore at the sight of such a heart-to-heart. The prince had not even given her a glance from the beginning till now, and his eyes were all on Xu Ruqing. It was clearly a birth-inducing banquet for her, but she didn't expect that this bitch would steal the limelight with just a few words!
She suppressed her anger and broke the peace, saying, "It's really surprising that my sister is pregnant so soon. She is so delicate that she can't even stand the slightest breeze. I don't know if the baby is healthy. If the baby is born with a weak body, I will have to worry about it in the future."

Concubine Guo Shu frowned and lightly rebuked: "Concubine, you really don't know etiquette. How can a pregnant woman curse someone's child to be weak and disabled before giving birth? You are also about to become a mother. Didn't you go through the same thing when you first got pregnant?"

"Shu Fei really wronged me. I was just concerned about my sister, the princess. Not to mention that the prince is busy with state affairs every day and has no time to care about the princess in the inner house. How could she get pregnant in such a short period of time? Even if she is really pregnant, it is not right for her body to be so weak at such a young age. It is related to the incense of the Su family. I am the prince's person, so naturally I have to consider more for the prince, right?" Chu Yu's words were tit-for-tat. The good sister character she had just played collapsed desperately after knowing that Xu Ruqing was pregnant.

On the surface, it was the Queen Mother's instruction to hold this birth-inducing banquet today, but in fact it was Chu Yu's own request, and she specifically mentioned that it was her idea to invite Xu Ruqing.

Her plan was to use this banquet to gain a firm foothold in the royal circle. If all went well, Xu Ruqing would be charged with murdering her offspring. By doing so, she could make up for the fact that she had eaten the child and avoid the blood test in the future. Perhaps she could even become the legal wife.

But this bitch was born with a good hand, and she got pregnant at this critical moment! I'm afraid that if I succeed in slandering her, the prince and Emperor Yan Qian will also forgive her because she is pregnant with the blood of the Su family.

"Yu'er's words are a bit direct, but I think there is some truth in what she said."

The Queen Mother sat on the chair next to Emperor Yan Qian, facing him: "Your Majesty, today's birth-inducing banquet was held for Yu'er by me. Xu Ruqing chose to announce her pregnancy at this time. It is hard to believe that she did not say this on purpose to steal Yu'er's limelight. It is a small matter to monopolize the limelight in front of you and me. If she really intended to deceive, it would be equivalent to deceiving the emperor and not taking the imperial power into consideration. If it gets out, not only will the reputation of the Prince of Wei's Mansion be bad, but the face of the royal family will also be lost."

"The Queen Mother has always been dissatisfied with Qing'er. It's hard to convince people that she said this just to make things difficult for Qing'er. It's true that I'm busy with state affairs, but I've also been with Qing'er day and night, so how can it be impossible for her to get pregnant?" Su Yichen gently held Xu Ruqing's hand as if to comfort her, and his eyes changed from tenderness to vigilance and protection.

"You are a man, how can you understand a woman's heart? Have you forgotten how Xu Ruqing betrayed you before? I am not only doing this to maintain the emperor's prestige, but also for your own good."
