Chapter 101

If he were to change his words now, it would naturally not be in accordance with what had just been said. If he did not change his words, then if he had the ability, then he could win this game of chess.

"No problem." How could Ye Lan not know what she was thinking? His expression did not change at all, and he straightforwardly answered.

This time, it was Tang Ke's turn to be stunned. This chess piece had already been played by her, but he still dared to accept?

How could he win like this?

Is that possible?

He wouldn't really bully her because she didn't understand, right?

"Third royal brother, it's best to not go down any further." Ye Lanchen was stunned for a moment before he quickly spoke. In this sort of situation, even if he won, it would be disgraceful. Moreover, he never thought of defeating the three royal brothers.

"Since you wish to continue, then continue." However, Night Tide Jue smiled faintly. These words were truly warm and romantic.

Because she said she was going to continue, so, no matter what, he would continue.

What kind of indulgence and love was this?

The corner of Ye Lan Chen's lips slightly moved. He seemed to want to say something, but after hesitating for a moment, he didn't say anything in the end.

Feng Qingzhi's body clearly became stiff as she swayed unsteadily, causing her to be unable to stand steadily.

Hearing his words, Tang Ke was slightly startled. This person's acting skills were truly not bad. In the modern world, he would definitely be a great celebrity.

Night Tide had already picked up the chess piece and looked at it. Without much thought, he quickly put it down.

When Tang Kexin saw his chess piece, her eyes flashed. It had to be said that his chess move was very good, but it didn't seem to be of any use. After all, she had already used her chess piece three times, so it was impossible for her to change it.

Ye Lanchen also picked up a chess piece, thinking that he should also take a walk in the park.

"Take it seriously." However, just as he was hesitating, Ye Lanji suddenly opened his mouth.

Hearing his words, Ye Lanchen instinctively quickly took a move.

Since Ye Lan had spoken, Ye Wu Chen began to speak seriously.

Ye Lan Jue held Tang Ke Xin in his arms, with no intentions of letting her leave. However, he didn't continue to hold Tang Ke Xin's hand as they played chess. Moreover, there was a serious look on his face.

At this moment, Tang Kexin's eyes were also staring straight at the chess board as she wholeheartedly watched the changes on the board.

She was certain that this game was dead and there was no way she could save him. However, as Night Tide continued to walk forward step by step, Tang Kexin discovered that the game had once again undergone a change.

The chess piece that was originally worth three steps was unknowingly taken back by Night Tide.

Tang Kexin stared at the chessboard in disbelief as her eyes blinked several times. However, before she could blink, the third prince had already won.

"Third Imperial Brother …" Ye Chonglou was a bit impatient and a bit wronged. The Three Emperors Brothers were too bullying. Under such circumstances, if they beat him, wouldn't he be able to play chess in the future?

"…" Tang Kexin stared at the chessboard, completely forgetting about her reaction.

"What is it? "Surprised?" Ye Lan looked at her in despair, and the corners of his lips unconsciously lifted upwards.

"Yes." Ah? "No?" For a moment, Tang Ke's heart did not completely recover. He subconsciously replied and then quickly shook his head.

If she admitted that she was very surprised, then it would mean that she understood chess. It would be the same as telling Ye Lanjue that she had done it on purpose, to mess with him.

Ye Lanjue didn't say anything more. He only looked at her, and the smile in his eyes became even more pronounced.

Tang Kexin couldn't help but look at the chessboard once more. Even though she had seen it for herself, she still couldn't believe it. Moreover, she had been staring at the chessboard the entire time and had clearly seen how serious Ye Langchen was as well.

However, Night Tide had still won.

She even started to suspect if he had secretly played a few chess pieces while she was blinking.

"He left." When Ye Lanji saw that she was still in a daze, the smile on his face gradually faded. Standing up, he very naturally grabbed her hand and led her towards the main hall.

At this moment, Tang Kexin was still in a state of shock. She still hadn't completely recovered from her shock and didn't notice the miniscule act of him pulling her hand.

She was so surprised, so surprised, that she could hardly believe it.

Moreover, Ye Batian had already pulled her a few steps forward, but she seemed to not be able to react. Her eyes were still looking at the chessboard, perhaps because she was too far away to see clearly. Only then did she come back to her senses and turned around to look at Ye Banyan Jue.

Right at this moment, the emperor and the empress walked over. They looked in the direction of the empress and saw Tang Kexin holding hands with Yelan. Tang Kexin was looking at Yelan like she was in a daze.

The empress was startled, her eyes wide open as her expression changed quickly. Her heart and His Highness?

When did they develop to such a state?

Last time, Xin'er had said she didn't like the third prince, but now?

The emperor naturally saw this as well. His eyes flashed for a moment before he shifted his gaze to the empress. He saw the astonishment on the empress's face and sighed inwardly.

"Xin'er." The empress took a few steps closer before calling out. Her voice was lowered slightly, but it did her best to conceal some of the emotions she shouldn't have revealed.

"Huh?" Tang Ke subconsciously shifted his gaze to look at the empress dowager.

As he met the empress's gaze, Tang Ke Xin felt that something was off. He followed the empress's gaze to find her hand tightly gripped by Ye Blizzard.

Tang Kexin was completely speechless. This person was really good at acting.

But now that the empress had witnessed it, she had no idea what her reaction would be.

She knew very well that the empress didn't want her to be with Night Tide Jue.

"Let's go to the main hall first." The empress didn't say anything, but looked at Tang Kexin and spoke softly.

Regardless of the relationship between Xin`er and the third prince, this was not the time to talk about such matters.

"Oh." "Yes," Tang Ke Xin replied softly. Ye Lan loosened his grip on her, and Tang Ke Xin quickly followed behind the empress.

Ye Lan gazed at her back in despair, the corners of his lips curled up slightly. He had purposely let the empress see him.

He knew very well that the empress didn't want Tang Kexin to be with him. The empress wanted Tang Kexin to marry Ye Qingchen.

His fish had been hooked long ago, it was absolutely impossible for them to escape.

The crown prince followed behind, but at this moment, his face was exceptionally cold and grim.

Feng Qingxi still followed behind Ye Lanjue as usual, but Ye Lanjue completely ignored her and directly pretended that she didn't exist.

The group of people entered the great hall, and all the ministers stood up and saluted.

"Both of you, rise." The Emperor seemed to be in a good mood. After all, the happiest person in this match should be the Emperor.

"Thank you, my lord." All the officials rose to their feet before the emperor took a step towards the highest seat in the middle of the hall. The empress was by his side.

The Crown Prince, Ye Lanjue, and Ye Lanchen also followed him to their seats.

Tang Kexin found a spot to sit down as he prepared to walk over and take a seat.

However, just as she turned her body slightly and was about to take a step forward, she suddenly felt a sudden force heading towards her. It was an invisible force; it should be the legendary inner force.

Although she had undergone some training when she was in the modern world, her current body hadn't undergone any training, nor did she know any martial arts.

Tang Kexin couldn't stand up anymore after being pushed back by the force of the sudden attack. For a moment, she tilted her body and fell to the side.

With the empress's permission, Dong'er followed by her side and quickly reached out to support her.

"Miss, what's wrong?" However, Dong'er was also so shocked that her expression changed.

Dong'er knew martial arts, so she could naturally tell that Tang Kexin's fall was not that simple.

Actually, Tang Kexin's actions were already very obvious. Many people had already noticed it. With the addition of Dong'er's cry of surprise, everyone's eyes turned towards her.

"Xin Er, what's wrong?" The empress's face was clearly filled with worry as she cried out anxiously.

"It's nothing, I was just careless." Tang Kexin didn't want to cause any trouble at this time, so she quickly said.

"Hurry up and let the imperial physician take a look." However, the Crown Prince suddenly opened his mouth.

Ye Lanjue's eyes slightly sunk, a faint trace of coldness appearing within them.

Tang Ke's heart slightly furrowed. Could the crown prince's reaction be a bit too hasty?

The Crown Prince's reaction made Tang Ke feel that things were definitely not that simple. Perhaps this matter had something to do with the Crown Prince?

It was just that the force she displayed just now was a bit too much, but it didn't really hurt her?

For a moment, Tang Ke couldn't figure out what was going on.

"Letting the imperial physician examine you is good as well. I can see that you're a bit pale right now." When the empress saw Tang Ke Xin's pale face, she was extremely worried, so she went along with the crown prince's words.

Tang Ke knew in his heart that although the force just now hadn't truly injured her, it would definitely affect her vital energy and blood. Her face would definitely turn pale.

Since the empress had already spoken, Tang Ke Xin didn't say anything more. She really wanted to see who was up to something. What did that person want to do now?

"Why don't you let this official inspect Miss Tang." Imperial Physician Li, who happened to be the closest to Tang Kexin, stood up and attempted to recommend himself.

The imperial physicians who could attend such a banquet were definitely extraordinary. They had some status in the palace, because Imperial Physician Liu was rather far away from Tang Ke, so it made sense for Imperial Physician Li to step forward.

"Yes, I'll be troubling Imperial Physician Li." The empress nodded and agreed.

Imperial Physician Li walked in front of Tang Kexin and placed his hand on her wrist, examining her. His expression quickly changed, as if he was shocked, stunned, and in disbelief.

Thus, he carefully checked it again.

"Doctor Li, how is it?" The empress saw that he'd been checking for a long time, so she was even more worried.

At this moment, the Prime Minister's face was clearly filled with worry. Will Xin Er's body be alright?

Tang Kexin pursed her lips but did not say a word.

"To reply esteemed empress, this humble subject doesn't know what to say." Imperial Physician Li suddenly kneeled on the ground, a trace of fear evident on his face.

"What's wrong with Xin'er?" The empress's breathing was ragged from the shock. She only thought Tang Ke Xin had gotten a serious illness, so Imperial Physician Li didn't dare say anything.

"If there's anything you want to say, just say it. Don't hesitate to say it." The emperor looked at Imperial Physician Li, his face dark. Why was he hesitating over an examination? What was there to say?

"To reply esteemed empress, Miss Tang is pregnant." Imperial Physician Li seemed to hesitate for a moment before speaking. As he spoke, his head even heavily knocked against the ground.

Imperial Physician Li's words silenced the entire hall.
