The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 902 - 486: Who Is the Bastard? (Part 1)

Just when Bai Mowan thought she would be asked to explain what happened today.

Xiao Jinxing changed the topic, "Since it’s a matter concerning An Luming and Xiao Yanqi, if Xiao Yanqi won’t speak, let An Luming tell me what exactly happened?!"

Bai Mowan widened her eyes and looked at Xiao Jinxing.

Her eyes could not hide the anger.

Xiao Jinxing just doesn’t believe her, does he?!

She had explained this much, yet he wouldn’t even give her a chance to speak!

Bai Mowan gritted her teeth.

Her eyes glared fiercely at An Luming.

Seeing Xiao Yanqi this frightened, An Luming couldn’t be faring much better.

She wanted to see what kind of story An Luming could come up with.

An Luming, feeling the eyes of everyone, was ultimately a bit embarrassed. He had never fought so wildly with anyone before.

He bit his little lip and seemed to adjust his emotions before speaking, "Today, after having dinner at Mother’s place, I asked Uncle Zhang to take me back to Xiaoxiang Palace and met him halfway."

An Luming pointed with his little finger.

Xiao Yanqi, hearing An Luming speak, was still full of anger and was now staring fiercely at An Luming, brimming with hostility.

"He insisted that he was the only prince in the Imperial Palace and demanded I salute him. I explained to him that I am also Father’s child, also a prince, and that there is no hierarchy among princes, but he wouldn’t let it go. He even called me a bastard and insulted my mother..." An Luming pursed his lips, not finishing, afraid his mother would be saddened, "Even so, I never thought of fighting him. Mother told me that when in the Imperial Palace, I should behave with restraint, and I always followed her teachings, always tolerated. But when I was leaving, he had his Palace Attendant stop me. When I went to reason with him, he pushed me to the ground, and that’s when we started fighting."

"So, you’re saying Xiao Yanqi insulted you and also attacked you first?!" Xiao Jinxing’s barely concealed fury surfaced.

He had never truly paid attention to Xiao Yanqi. To him, Xiao Yanqi was merely here to accompany Bai Mowan, and had little to do with him. Yet, he didn’t expect such arrogance at such a young age!

"Your Majesty, you can’t listen to one side of the story. In a fight, there must be reasons on both sides. This consort believes we should also hear Yanqi..." Bai Mowan quickly spoke up, not expecting An Luming’s account to be so clear, concise, and well explained.

"Enough!" Xiao Jinxing burst into rage.

Bai Mowan turned pale at Xiao Jinxing’s roar.

A fear gripped her heart.

The way Xiao Jinxing looked at this moment, he might really kill her, and kill Xiao Yanqi.

"Who’s the bastard here?! Bai Mowan, you’d better figure it out yourself!" Xiao Jinxing said, one word at a time, making things crystal clear.

Bai Mowan’s already pale face flushed with shame again.

To Xiao Jinxing, An Luming was indeed his own son, whereas Xiao Yanqi was not at all.

In the entire Imperial Palace, apart from the few people closest to Xiao Jinxing, as well as Bai Mowan and the Bai Family, no one else knew. Even Xiao Yanqi himself didn’t know that he wasn’t Xiao Jinxing’s biological child.

Now that Xiao Jinxing said these things, it naturally became unbearably awkward.

It was certain that Xiao Jinxing would favor An Luming more, without a doubt.

She clenched her teeth.

She knew that no matter what, they couldn’t hold any advantage today. In his anger, Xiao Jinxing might even depose Xiao Yanqi.

While Bai Mowan was deep in thought.

Xiao Yanqi, unable to endure the shame from An Luming’s words, loudly retorted, "I never said those things to An Luming, never! Today, after having my meal, I asked a Palace Attendant to accompany me for a walk in the palace. We happened to meet An Luming, and I just spoke a few words. But then, An Luming inexplicably started shoving me, knocked me to the ground, and even beat me hard. His attendant also helped beat me. All my attendants were beaten down by him!"

Xiao Yanqi angrily pointed at Zhang Wenhe.

"You’re lying!" An Luming, agitated by Xiao Yanqi’s false accusation, exclaimed, "You’re the one who insulted me and pushed me first, that’s why we started fighting..."

"You hit me first, and you had him help you, that’s why I ended up like this!" Xiao Yanqi shouted.

The two children began arguing loudly with no restraint.

Everyone’s faces became extremely tense.

"All of you, shut up!" Xiao Jinxing erupted, his voice ice-cold.

An Luming and Xiao Yanqi didn’t dare speak again.

"Everyone, follow me back to Qiankun Hall. No one leaves until we get to the bottom of this!" Xiao Jinxing commanded sternly.

He immediately turned and strode off.

An Ning glanced at An Luming, seeing his flushed face, clearly full of grievances.

He was probably truly wronged, feeling awful.

She took the initiative to hold An Luming’s hand and whispered in his ear, "Don’t be afraid, Mother will protect you."

An Luming’s eyes welled up with tears.

Holding back and not letting himself cry, he said, "Mother, I’m not afraid, I can protect myself."

An Ning smiled faintly, giving An Luming some comfort.

She then took An Luming along, following Xiao Jinxing’s steps.

Bai Mowan also followed closely behind.

She looked at Xiao Yanqi’s expression, calculating many things in her heart.

She initially planned to have Xiao Yanqi admit his mistake and accept the punishment today, knowing full well that Xiao Jinxing couldn’t possibly favor Xiao Yanqi.

But after hearing what Xiao Yanqi just said...

Nobody knew what actually happened at the time.

Xiao Jinxing also couldn’t blatantly show favoritism, as he was the Emperor. If he acted unjustly, he wouldn’t be able to convince the public.

Bai Mowan clenched her teeth.

Anyway...even if Xiao Yanqi is gone, there would be other Xiao Yanqis.

Xiao Yanqi, being part of the Bai Family, should naturally sacrifice for the greater good of the Bai Family.

Having made up her mind.

Bai Mowan also gripped Xiao Yanqi’s hand tightly, saying in his ear, "Don’t be afraid, Mother Consort will support you."

Xiao Yanqi, being only four years old, was completely unaware of the current situation.

He still believed that his mother was the most powerful in the harem.

He nodded quickly, "Yes, I know what to do."

Resolute, determined to deceive the Emperor!

The group arrived at Qiankun Hall.

Xiao Jinxing sat on the Dragon Throne.

An Ning and Bai Mowan stood on either side.

An Luming and Xiao Yanqi knelt on the ground.

"I will give you one more chance. Whoever is telling the truth, I may lessen the punishment. But if anyone continues to hide the truth, I will severely punish them!" Xiao Jinxing said with such authority, his voice filled with power.

"Father, every word I said is true. I did not insult An Luming nor did I push him first. An Luming claimed I blocked his way and attacked me. He and his man even wounded my attendants. Please see this clearly, Father!" Xiao Yanqi spoke first, refusing to admit it!
