The Reborn Princess Has Turned Evil

Chapter 312 The fight started

Seeing Chi Wenyuan's serious expression, Jing Anle still had a slight worry. Although she had great confidence in Mu Ping's medicine, it was, after all, Chi Wenyuan, a renowned and capable person.

"Mr. Chi, what's going on?" The Empress Dowager asked impatiently.

Chi Wenyuan also felt that Jing Rou's pulse was strange, but it was clearly a sign that she was pregnant.

"Your Majesty, the princess is indeed pregnant. Moreover, her pulse is unusual and her constitution is special, making it extremely difficult for her to conceive. Therefore, this pregnancy must be carefully maintained," Chi Wenyuan replied, neither humble nor arrogant, word by word.

Everyone knew that Jingrou was still unmarried, and Pearl was already risking her life to diagnose her pregnancy, but Chi Wenyuan was quite different, directly giving her instructions.

Everyone was stunned by these words. Did this mean that Jing Rou would have difficulty conceiving in the future? Even Jing Anle was bewildered, and she began to suspect that it might be a side effect of the fake pregnancy pills.

"What!" The Empress Dowager was so shocked by the news that she almost lost her footing, but was fortunately supported by Princess Yongping.

Meanwhile, the foreign princes in the rear palace were bored out of their minds.

"When will we finally get a result?" Of course, the most impatient one was Murong Peifeng.

Five or six hours have passed since the incident occurred.

The others, however, were much more composed, each focused on their own tasks—some playing chess, some reading, some even sleeping… none of them paid him any attention.

Yelü Yuanxiu found it rather boring, so he simply opened the door to find out what was going on. Unexpectedly, he bumped into two palace servants as soon as he opened the door, and they fell down right in front of him.

The rear hall had many rooms, and the guards only stood watch at the main gate, not at the door of each room, so the people imprisoned were not so oppressed.

"Are you two blind?!" Yelü Yuanxiu was furious after being imprisoned for so long.

"Your Highness, please calm down!" the two men pleaded.

Upon seeing that they were dressed in the attire of palace servants, Yelü Yuanxiu grabbed one of them by the collar and asked, "Have you found the murderer? How much longer are we going to keep them locked up?"

"This servant...this servant is unaware. This servant has come to invite Prince Qing," the palace servant said.

"Prince Qing isn't here; you've come to the wrong place." Yelü Yuanxiu's tone suddenly became impatient when he couldn't get any answers.

"It was the servants who disturbed us." With that, the two palace servants turned to leave.

"Wait, what do you want with Prince Qing?" Yelü Yuanxiu asked curiously.

“This servant…this servant cannot say,” one of the palace servants said.

The more this happened, the more curious Yelü Yuanxiu became. He had been a troublemaker since childhood, and there was nothing he couldn't do.

"Will you talk or not!" Yelü Yuanxiu threatened viciously.

The palace maid trembled with fear and stammered, "It's...it's...it's because Princess Rou is pregnant, that's why I've come to inform Your Highness."

Upon hearing this, Yelü Yuanxiu's eyes widened and a grin spread across his face. Ever since Qi Zhi arrived, he had been controlled in every way. Now, well, he himself had done this shameless and frivolous thing. Thinking this, he walked inside.

Now, Xia Tingfu and Luo Wei were playing chess, Qi Zhi was resting with his eyes closed, and Xiao Heng was reading a book. As for Yin Ge'er from the Southern Frontier, he had been lying in the back hall since the incident and had not said much.

As soon as Yelü Yuanxiu entered, he shouted loudly, "Crown Prince Qi, congratulations, congratulations!"

Everyone looked on in confusion and turned to look at him.

Qi Zhi suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with shock and confusion: "What nonsense are you talking about?" A thought flashed through his mind, but he hoped it wasn't true.

Yelü Yuanxiu, beaming with pride, recounted the news he had heard in a vivid and detailed manner.

Xia Tingfu's chess piece fell onto the chessboard with a "thud," Luo Wei also stopped placing his piece, Xiao Heng put down his book, and Yin Ge'er sat up from the couch.

Yelü Yuanxiu was very satisfied with everyone's reaction and continued, "Among us, you are the most capable. You've gotten there first and are about to become a father. Congratulations!"

Although he was offering congratulations, his tone was full of sarcasm.

At this moment, Qi Zhi felt a surge of anger and thought to himself: I should have killed him at the hunting grounds last time!

"What? I think Crown Prince Qi doesn't seem too happy?" Yelü Yuanxiu continued to provoke.

How could Qi Zhi possibly be happy? He was just a sucker, and he was taking over the mess left by his own brother! He felt like he was being roasted on a fire, and he wished he could stab Yelü Yuanxiu to death.

"Crown Prince Qi, there's no need to worry. We won't make fun of you. Everyone says that Jingguo has an open culture and women have a high status. It's just a case of premarital pregnancy. As long as it's something you, Crown Prince Qi, did, you can rest assured and wait to become a father!"

Every word was meant to be sarcastic, yet every sentence was a mockery.

After Yelü Yuanxiu finished speaking, he burst into laughter. No matter how noble the women of Jing Kingdom were, it was still shameful for them to become pregnant out of wedlock. Moreover, Qi Zhi was a foreigner who had gotten someone pregnant on their territory. It would be a laughing stock if word got out.

This was truly rubbing salt in the wound. No normal man would let someone put his face on the ground and trample on. Qi Zhi could no longer bear it. He stood up abruptly and rushed to Yelü Yuanxiu.

Seeing Qi Zhi's cold expression, Yelü Yuanxiu taunted him triumphantly, "What, I'm just telling the truth, and you still dare to hit me!"

"That's what I'm going to do!" As he spoke, Qi Zhi punched Yelü Yuanxiu in the nose, causing blood to flow freely.

Yelü Yuanxiu was stunned for a moment, but when he came to his senses, he was furious. He swung his fist at Qi Zhi, but Qi Zhi dodged it. Yelü Yuanxiu pressed forward, and the two started fighting. The back hall was instantly thrown into chaos.

Xia Tingfu and the others rushed forward to break up the fight, but Xiao Heng shouted, "Stop it! This is the Jing Kingdom's palace, not a place for you to cause trouble!"

But the two of them were so engrossed in their actions that they couldn't stop.
