Chapter 8
Prince Chen? Illegitimate child?
Those words circled in Baili Huangzhuang’s head. If it’s Prince Chen, then she also has some knowledge about him.
If she was one of the biggest jokes the people liked to gossip about, then Prince Chen was the second joke.
3 years ago, the present Emperor had suddenly made an unknown common man a Prince, giving raise to huge waves in the court. This man was Dibei Chen.
Even though the court officers all protested, the Emperor still insisted on acting as willfully as before and made the man a Prince, even knowing that he was a cripple.
For a long time, rumors everywhere speculated that Prince Dibei Chen must’ve been the Emperor’s illegitimate child. Otherwise, why would he confer the title of Prince to a incontempt cripple?
But the Emperor, despite being aware of this rumor, chose not to step forward and explain, but on the contractionary, seemed to silently acknowledge it. So over time, everybody started to silently acknowledge Prince Chen as such too.
Since the Emperor had made Prince Chen a prince so brazenly, it was believed that he must’ve been heavily doted on by the Emperor. But although his first year was luxurious, the following years he got less and less as his status plummeted.
Baili Huangzhuang slowly approached the noisy crowd. It could be due to them being fellow sufferers in her mind, or also because her heart held a trace of curiosity about this Prince Chen.
After all, in this huge Imperial City, the tragedy in her life couldn’t be compared to anyone else’s, but Dibei Chen’s.
Walking amongst the crowd, Baili Huangzhuang looked at the target that held the circle’s attention. On the 3rd floor of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, stood two figures. With just a glance, Baili Huangzhuang could see a figure she absolutely loathed.
Xuanyuan Huan!
Xuanyuan Huan’s face was bossy as he looked disdainfully at the pale, golden robed figure in front of him.
“Dibei Chen, say, if I wasn’t careful and accidentally knocked you down, pushing you off from the third floor of this building, then what would you do?” Xuanyuan Huan’s face held a sarcastic sneer, his sardonic attitude like he was treating Dibei Chen as a joke!
Baili Huangzhuang looked at the back of the pale, golden robed figure. This must be Dibei Chen, no doubt.
“If Prince wants to push, then what can I do?”
His light voice was faintly warm from alcohol held a tinge of ridicule, like a refreshing cool breeze that stroked the heart, appearing free and indifferent.
Xuanyuan Huan frowned when he saw his calm face. For a moment, he couldn’t even tell who was doing the actual bullying.
He was the most disgusted by Dibei Chen’s indifferent appearance, as if nothing could ever affect him, ah.
Acting like he was so high, when he was actually just a clown, he’ll (XYH) let him see how much of a joke he(DC) really was!
“Big brother, how can trash act this way?”
The second Prince, Xuanyuan Jing hadn’t noticed the rising tension between Xuanyuan Huan and Dibei Chen yet, speaking with a smile, “Why don’t we just push him off already?”
Xuanyuan Jing had just stopped speaking when he suddenly pretended to fall forward, his entire body stumbling towards Dibei Chen. His hands were out, both pushing Dibei Chen who stumbled, and fell past the railing!
You could only hear the railing creak, followed by a golden light falling from the 3rd story of the building!
Baili Huangzhuang’s eyes gleamed as she stared. This Xuanyuan Huan really is good for nothing!
Both of Dibei Chen’s legs were already crippled, but it seems that Xuanyuan Huan still wouldn’t let him off!
A gleam of ridicule appeared in Baili Huangzhuang’s deep black eyes, so it seemed that Xuanyuan Huan’s favorite thing to do is to kick a person when it’s down, huh!
Whether its her, or Dibei Chen, Xuanyuan Huan still isn’t willing to let off, despicable, shameless!
Many of the onlookers averted their eyes. Dibei Chen really was pitiful, but they were just commoners, so what could they do?
