Chapter 8: Emperor’s Illegitimate Child

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lord Chen? Illegitimate child?

These two words swiftly passed through her mind. She had a certain understanding of this Lord Chen.

If she was the number one topic to joke about when the citizens of the Imperial City gossiped during dinner, then that Lord Chen should be number two.

Three years ago, the current Emperor suddenly named a nobody as the Prince and it caused a heated uproar in the court, the person in question was Di Beichen.

Despite the courtier’s criticism, the Emperor did things his own way and gave him a title along with some rewards. Since then the Fengbo Country had an additional Prince who had a disability.

At that time, rumors spread all around and everyone speculated that Di Beichen was the Emperor’s illegitimate child. If not for that, how could such an incompetent cripple become a Prince?

However, the Emperor did not provide any explanation, despite knowing of such rumors, and instead it seemed as if he had acknowledged them. Over time, everyone had tacitly acknowledged Di Beichen’s identity as an illegitimate child.

Originally, the Emperor had ignored all public opinions and provided Di Beichen with a reward. It was assumed that he was very fond of him.

However, no one expected that, with the exception of the first year when the Emperor was rather nice to Di Beichen, he would become more and more indifferent to him and this caused Di Beichen’s status to plummet.

Baili Hongzhuang slowly walked towards the noisy crowd. Perhaps it was due to fact that both of them were in difficult situations, but she was slightly curious about Di Beichen

After all, in this huge Imperial City, there was no one else other than Di Beichen who had lived so miserably like her.

When she walked into the crowd’s encirclement, Baili Hongzhuang followed the crowd’s line of sight and saw several figures standing on the third floor of the Drunken Fairy House. At one glance, she saw an unpleasant figure that made her feel disgusted.

Xuan Yuanhuan!

She saw Xuan Yuanhuan standing there with an overbearing expression. He was domineering and he had a look of disdain in his eyes as he looked at the pale, golden colored silhouette who was seated uprightly.

“Say, Di Beichen. If I were to accidentally bump against you and push you down from here, what would happen to you?” The corner of Xuan Yuanhuan’s lips curled with a sarcastic smile, and his joking attitude clearly treated Di Beichen as a plaything!

Baili Hongzhuang looked at the pale golden silhouette that had his back to her. That person should be Di Beichen without a doubt.

“If Your Highness wants to accidentally bump against me, what could I possibly do?”

A faint and gentle voice that carried traces of ridicule and indifference blew past one’s heart as though it was a clear breeze.

Xuan Yuanhuan momentarily blanked out and he furrowed his brows. Looking at this poised expression, he even started to have the delusion that he was the one being bullied at that moment.

What he hated the most was Di Beichen’s appearance of indifference as if nothing could influence him in the slightest.

It was as if Di Beichen was the one who was set up high above and he was merely a buffoon that appeared to be a joke to him.

“Big brother, what can a trash like him do?”

The second prince, Xuan Yuanjing did not notice the undercurrent of surging tides between Xuan Yuanhuan and Di Beichen, as he said with a smile, “Wouldn’t we know after pushing him down?”

Just as he said that Xuan Yuanjing pretended to be careless and trip before landing against Di Beichen. His hands pushed forward and Di Beichen fell towards the railings!

Sounds of a railing breaking could be heard and immediately afterwards, a golden light fell down from the third floor!

Baili Hongzhuan’s stared at him for a microsecond and thought, “That Xuan Yuanheng was really a bastard!”

Di Beichen was already pitiful because he was disabled and yet, Xuan Yuanhuan was unwilling to let him go.

A trace of ridicule overflowed from her pitch-black eyes. As for what Xuan Yuanhuan liked the most, wasn’t it to hit a person while they are down?

Be it her or Di Beichen, Xuan Yuanhuan was unwilling to let them off. He was simply despicable and shameless!

Many onlookers looked away. Lord Chen was indeed pitiful, but they were merely ordinary citizens, so what could they possibly do?
