127 Destroyed Her Plan

"!!!!!!"

Xiao Lou went speechless when she felt the stinging pain on her left cheek. She subconsciously cupped it while looking foolishly at XuanLi. She could not believe that her husband, who loved her dearly for years, would not hesitate to raise his hand and beat her senseless.

"H-Husband.. I----"

"SHUT YOUR TRAP!!!"

XuanLi roared. His eyes were glaring towards Xiao Lou who started crying. If it was before, XuanLi would definitely feel distressed whenever he sees Xiao Lou's tears. Unfortunately, no matter how pitiful Xiao Lou looked right now, it could not evoke his desire to pacify her. Instead, the anger in his chest rose even more. He had the urge to strangle both mother and child to death.

"YOU, SHUT UP!! LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE!!! BECAUSE OF YOUR STUPID PLAN, YOU NOT ONLY DESTROYED YOUR DAUGHTER'S FUTURE, BUT YOU ALSO BROUGHT SHAME TO THE XUAN FAMILY!!"

Hearing XuanLi's blame, Xiao Lou sobbed. She moved forward, trying to hold XuanLi's hand but he moved away and refused her touch. Looking at her husband who was berating him, not allowing her to approach him, Xiao Lou felt her heart was being crushed into pieces.

"Hus-Husband… Wife does not know what you are talking about---"

"ENOUGH!!! YOU STILL WON'T ADMIT IT?! I ALREADY KNEW THAT YOU TRIED TO SCHEME BEHIND XUANRONG'S BACK BUT IT ENDED A FAILURE INSTEAD! USELESS!! YOU NOT ONLY LET THAT BITCH ESCAPE BUT YOU ALSO SHOT YOUR OWN FOOT!! YOU FAILED TO RUIN XUANRONG'S REPUTATION BUT YOU MADE YOUR OWN DAUGHTER LOSE HER INNOCENCE AND BROUGHT SHAME TO OUR FAMILY!!! AND NOW, YOU EVEN HIDE THE FACT THAT FEI'ER IS PREGNANT!!! DO YOU KNOW THE CONSEQUENCES ONCE OTHERS FIND OUT THAT FEI'ER GOT IMPREGANTED BY HIS HIGHNESS IN SUCH A YOUNG AGE?!! IT WILL DESTROY THE IMPERIAL FAMILY AND THE PRIME MINISTER'S RESIDENCE!!!"

XuanLi's chest moved up and down as he berated Xiao Lou's ignorance. In his entire life, it was the first time he felt humiliated to the extent that he wished he could kill his wife and daughter immediately.

"Husband… Husband… This wife is regretting everything…. This wife is regretting evryhting…. Husband.. please… please, I beg you… do not get angry at this wife… husband, please… this wife begs you…."

Xiao Lou feel on her knees and grabbed XuanLi's legs while crying. She was filled with regret when she recalled everything that happened at the Thousand Li Courtyard. Now that the situationhad escalated to this degree, Xiao Lou could only pray that XuanFei would be okay.

Looking at Xiao Lou's pitiful face that was full of tears and remorse, XuanLi could only sigh, trying to suppress the anger in his heart. Xiao Lou had been accompanying him for more than sixteen years. Even if he was truly mad at her for being stupid, he could not bring himself to continue tormenting her. After slapping her face and rebuking her, XuanLi's anger slowly subsided.

"Stand up."

XuanLi pulled Xiao Lou up and ushered her to sit at the stone chair near the left side of the courtyard.

"What's the situation? How's Fei'er?"

Although XuanLi wanted to beat XuanFei to death because of the commotion she created, she was still his daughter whom he painstakingly raised for thirteen years. All of his affection was directed solely towards his favorite daughter. After what happened, although he was dissatisfied and angry, he could not pretend that he was not worried.

"This wife does not know. Before the imperial physician arrived, Fei'er was bleeding horrible. This wife was afraid that Fei'er would be in danger. When the imperial physician arrived, he immediately sent this wife out of the room. This wife does not know if the child was saved or not."

Hearing Xiao Lou's narration, XuanLi scoffed.

"The child should die, no—he must die. His existence would cause great trouble to the imperial family and us. Since the imperial physician was sent by the Empress, he should know what to do. Besides, the imperial physicians in the palace are all exceptional. The imperial physician will not let Fei'er die so rest assured.."

"ASSASSINS!!! HURRY!! PROTECT HIS MAJESTY AND HER HIGHNESS!!!"

Shouts and screams simultaneously echoed inside the palace hall. The entire place was full of chaos. Those palace officials were panicking as they tried to run all around the place, trying to hide and save themselves. The Furens and Young Maidens were crying pitifully as they huddled together, shaking in the corner.

The delegates from different countries were also protected by their own forces and the imperial guards of Qian Zou. Even the envoy from Jing country, Prince Hao Chen, had no choice but to move inside the safety formation of the imperial guards.

The imperial princesses and princes were brought away from the commotion one by one. Even Xu Fei Yi was being protected by Mu Qing in the middle of the safely formation created to protect the imperial family.

Amidst of the chaos, XuanRong's eyes surveyed the entire hall. Her eyes were like a bottomless pit. She turned her head and saw that aside from the Imperial guards, ger grandfather and other military officials run towards where Xu Ji Mo was currently standing. Since the banquet was held inside the palace, no one was allowed to bring any weapon inside. Thus, in terms of power attack, the ones in the disadvantage were XuanRong's grandfather, Chen Zi Tao, and the rest of the military officials.

"Rong'er, come! Do not leave our side!"

Eldest Chen Furen and Second Furen pulled XuanRong away from the commotion. The two Chen Furens were different from those weak ladies crying together. Since both of them married a military man, their courage was not weak.

XuanRong obediently followed her two JiuMu but her eyes moved towards the assassins who were fighting with the imperial guards. A dangerous glint passed inside her eyes. Looking at the unfamiliar men which was covered from head to toe, XuanRong knew that it was not An Wei and the rest.

Who was it?

Who destroyed her plan?

XuanRong clenched her hands and cursed silently.
