Illegitimate child
"Prince Chen? An illegitimate child?"
These two words swiftly flashed through Baili Huangzhuang's mind, and she had some understanding of this Prince Chen.
If she herself was a subject of gossip among the people in the imperial city, then Prince Chen would probably be the subject of gossip number two.
Three years ago, the current Emperor suddenly bestowed the title of prince upon an unknown man, causing a huge uproar in the court. This person was none other than Emperor Bei Chen.
Despite the criticism from court officials, the Emperor persisted and not only granted the prince title but also rewarded him. Since then, the Kingdom of Fengbo had an additional disabled prince.
Rumors spread like wildfire, and everyone speculated that Emperor Bei Chen was the Emperor's illegitimate child. Otherwise, how could such an untalented and incapable disabled person become a prince?
However, when the Emperor learned of these rumors, he did not come forward to clarify. Instead, it seemed as if he tacitly accepted them. Over time, everyone simply accepted Emperor Bei Chen's identity.
Initially, Baili Huangzhuang thought that the Emperor's defiance against public opinion and granting rewards to Emperor Bei Chen meant that he liked him very much. But she never expected that after the first year, the Emperor's favor for Emperor Bei Chen gradually waned, and his position plummeted.
Baili Huangzhuang slowly walked towards the noisy place, perhaps driven by a sense of sympathy for a fellow sufferer. She was curious about Emperor Bei Chen.
After all, in this vast imperial city, apart from Emperor Bei Chen, there was no one else who led such a miserable life as hers.
Entering the crowd, Baili Huangzhuang followed the gazes of the people and saw several figures standing on the second floor of the Drunken Immortal Tower. At first glance, she noticed the detestable figure she despised.
Xuan Yuan Heng!
Xuan Yuan Heng had a haughty expression, looking disdainfully at the golden figure sitting in front of him.
"Emperor Bei Chen, what would you do if I accidentally bumped into you and pushed you off this third floor?" Xuan Yuan Huan's mouth curled into a mocking smile, treating Emperor Bei Chen as a plaything.
Baili Huangzhuang looked at the golden figure with his back facing downwards; this person was undoubtedly Emperor Bei Chen.
"If the Crown Prince intends to make a mistake, what can I do?" A faintly warm and mellow voice carried a hint of sarcasm, as if a gentle breeze brushed through the heart, exuding a carefree and indifferent air.
Xuan Yuan Huan was taken aback, furrowing his eyebrows as he looked at the calm and composed face in front of him. He even doubted if he was the one being bullied at this moment.
He despised Emperor Bei Chen's indifferent demeanor the most, as if nothing could affect him in any way.
It was as if he were high above, and Xuan Yuan Huan was just a jumping clown, there for his amusement.
"Brother, what can this waste do?" Xuan Yuan Jing, the second prince, didn't notice the undercurrents between Xuan Yuan Huan and Emperor Bei Chen. He laughed and said, "Just push him down and find out."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Yuan Jing pretended to lose his balance, stumbling towards Emperor Bei Chen. With both hands pushing, Emperor Bei Chen was sent crashing towards the railing!
A sound of shattering railings was heard, followed by a golden figure falling from the third floor!
Baili Huangzhuang's gaze slightly narrowed. Xuan Yuan Heng was truly despicable!
Baili Huangzhuang's deep black eyes flashed with a glimmer of scorn, indicating that kicking someone when they're down seemed to be Xuan Yuan Huan's favorite pastime, huh!
Regardless of whether it was her or Dibei Chen, Xuan Yuan Huan was still unwilling to show mercy. How despicable and shameless!
Many of the bystanders looked away. Dibei Chen was indeed pitiful, but they were just commoners, so there was little they could do.
