Chapter 96: Chapter 96: The Young Emperor Inquires About Suisui’s Background

Seeing the young Emperor bluntly inquire about Xiaosuisui’s background, Ji Youyuan couldn’t help but look at Xiaosuisui.

Xiaosuisui seemed somewhat uneasy, her small hands crossed and fidgeting.

"Suisui! Can you go play over there by yourself for a while?" Ji Youyuan asked, pointing to the other side of the Lotus Pond. "The lotus flowers are blooming beautifully over there. Could you help your uncle pick two to take back for your Eldest Aunt to cook with?"

You can cook with lotus flowers?

The little girl nodded vigorously. "Okay! Okay!"

The guard, who had been disarmed earlier, brought over a small boat and took Suisui to pick lotus flowers.

"Your Majesty, Suisui is not the biological child of myself and my wife, who is from the Wang Family. She is the child of my late sister and her husband!"

"What did you say? Xi’Er..." the young Emperor trailed off, his voice filled with disbelief.

Ji Xi’Er had been the only daughter of the Ji Family. When she was born, countless influential families in the capital had their eyes on this budding flower. Even his own mother, the Empress Dowager, had once mentioned that if the Ji Family had not secluded themselves, their daughter would have been the best candidate for Empress. But now, the news he suddenly heard about her was of her death!

"She’s gone. My sister passed away four years ago, on the first day of the second month of the year of the Water Dragon."

The first day of the second month of the year of the Water Dragon... that wouldn’t have been a difficult birth, the young Emperor thought.

"Then who is this child’s father? Is he a scion of some great Noble Family in the capital?"

The beloved daughter of old General Ji would have been a suitable match for any young nobleman! fгeewebnovёl.com

"It’s rather shameful to admit, but her father was merely a commoner. They had just married when my brother-in-law enlisted in the army. He never returned. Then, just a few days after Suisui was born, news of his death arrived from the battlefield. Because of this, Suisui was not favored by her paternal Grandma and was bullied by her aunts. Later, due to some vicious rumors, her paternal Grandma and aunts attempted to bury her alive. My mother received word and rushed over, managing to rescue her from a mass burial ground."

The young Emperor listened, sighing inwardly. Wait a minute, this story... I feel like I’ve heard it somewhere before!

"I know! She’s one of the two children born to the Li Family on the day the auspicious omen descended from heaven! You just called her Suisui, and the Li Family child who died suddenly was also named Suisui!"

The young Emperor stared fixedly at Ji Youyuan.

Ji Youyuan, quite surprised, met his gaze directly. "Your Majesty, you even know about the children born to the Li Family when the auspicious omen appeared?"

The young Emperor’s expression turned exceedingly grim, and he roared in anger, "Ji Youyuan! Don’t think that just because you are a Grand Master, the Sect Leader of the Illusion Sect, and a pillar of the state, that I can’t do anything to you! Your Ji Family has such audacity! The crime of deceiving the sovereign is punishable by the extermination of nine generations of your clan! Aren’t you afraid I’ll have all your Ji Family heads chopped off?"

Ji Youyuan quickly cupped his hands in salute and asked with a helpless air, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"

"Stop playing dumb with me! The National Master predicted that a child born under a sign of great heavenly fortune would possess immense luck, crucial to the destiny of my Great Han Country! He personally came to the South precisely to find that child, intending to take them as his disciple!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Youyuan gave a bitter smile. "This humble servant does not serve in the Imperial Court. How could I possibly know that the National Master had predicted the existence of such a child?"

The young Emperor was momentarily speechless, truly at a loss for words.

But on second thought, that can’t be right. The Ji Family is full of capable individuals; it’s impossible for them to know nothing.

"If others claimed not to know, I might believe them. But if you say your Ji Family didn’t know, I absolutely refuse to believe it! Otherwise, why would you claim a child clearly born on the second day of the second month was born on the first? Based on this point alone, I have sufficient reason to have you executed!"

Ji Youyuan opened his mouth, then closed it. The young Emperor’s reach is truly extensive! I didn’t expect him to know even about the events concerning the Li Family. However, this was their miscalculation. They had originally planned to conceal Xiaosuisui’s true background. They never expected Xiaosuisui to expose it herself.
