Emperor Le Xuanâs heart was thrown into disarray. With this child here, he would not dare to show favouritismâŠ
Emperor Le Xuanâs gaze towards that child turned faintly complicated.
That child seemed to not have noticed as he smiled slightly. Since he was wearing a mask, even if he was smiling, it still looked blank. Yet, for no reason, they found that his smile was actually very good looking and even felt charming...
Ji Yunhao seemed to be attracted to that smile. He felt his heart shake. That smile seemed very familiarâŠ
He was about to rack his brains to think about who smiled like that when the childâs next words rendered him thunderstruck. âYour Highness, the Crown Prince, you can call in the midwives now.â
A midwife was a person who took care of pregnant women and assisted them when they were in labour or when they have a miscarriage.
These people had very rich in experience when it came to pregnancies. A high level midwife could even determine how long a woman had been pregnant just by looking at her bellyâŠ
Ji Yunhuang had truly prepared well. After emperor Le Xuan approved, he sent for the midwives waiting outside the palaceâŠ
The two midwives who entered were famous midwives in Chang Kong Country. One of them had even helped an imperial concubine give birth.
Under Ji Yunhuangâs orders, they came forward to examine Hu DiechangâŠ
After an incense stickâs worth of time, one of the midwives answered in a very certain tone. âMiss Hu was already around 50 days pregnant.â
The other midwife specified, âIt should be around 49 days.â
When the two midwivesâ words came out, it caused the other peopleâs faces to change slightly.
Grand Marshal Hu was stunned for a moment before he suddenly flew into a rage. âBullsh*t! How can she be around 50 days pregnant?!â
That child gave a shallow smile. âIf the child in Miss Huâs belly was the Sixth Princeâs then she really couldnât have been around 50 days pregnant. That is because the Sixth Prince had left the capital around two months ago and didnât return until a month agoâŠâ That was to say that if the child was Ji Yunhaoâs, the fetus should have only been developing for one month and absolutely could not have exceeded the second monthâŠ
The only possibility left was that Miss Hu had cheated on Ji Yunhao while he was gone, letting him wear a green hat.
That childâs gaze was cold as it landed on Ji Yunhaoâs face. âSixth Prince, that day in the teahouse, Ning Xuemoâs words sowed a seed of doubt in you, didnât it? Hence you sent people to investigate. Your people were truly capable though. They actually discovered not just the fact that Hu Diechang cheated on you but who her partner was. You were angered and sent men to secretly chase after her partner to kill him. Then, you looked for Hu Diechang to settle scores. After killing her you even tried to push the blame to Ning XuemoâŠâ
That conclusion was as if he had personally witnessed it. Ji Yunhao secretly ground his teeth. âThis is only your conjecture. There is no proof, hence this explanation is not solid!â
The corner of the boyâs lips slightly lifted. âIt seems that you still wonât admit it until youâre pushed into a corner and wonât give up hope unless youâre at the yellow riverâs banks. Fine, then I will have to convince you.â
He looked at Ji Yunhuang. âYour Highness, you can let the other witnesses enter now.â
âThere are still more witnesses?â
Ji Yunhaoâs expression got worse. With the âimmortal childâ here, no one dared to put a halt to the situation and could only allow it to progress.
Very quickly, three people entered. Two men and one woman.
When Ji Yunhao saw those three people, his body stiffened in shock as his face paled drastically. Now, he finally knew how hopeless the situation has become.??
[1] This is an idiom for a man who is being cuckolded by his wife or lover. The idiom comes from a story of a cheating wife who always made her husband wear a green hat before he left so her lover would know when it was safe to enter the house.
[2] Basically not resigning oneself to the situation until theyâre dead. The yellow river represents the afterlife. In this case it is referring to how Ji Yunhao is not giving up hope even at this juncture.
