My Wife is a Psychic-Chapter 286 - The Child in Her Stomach

286 The Child in Her Stomach

“When I first met the imperial preceptor in the temple of Happy Town, although you had white hair, you still looked like were a middle-aged man. I’ve seen you twice this year, and you’ve gotten older each time. Now, you’re like an old man in your 60s or 70s. Your life force and life span have been cut off by someone, and your end is near.” Jiang Xi twirled a strand of her hair and said casually.

The imperial preceptor was stunned and then sighed. “You really have the root of wisdom. Your life is really a gift from the heavens. If you can become a monk, you’ll be a great person in the world.”

Jiang Xi smiled without saying a word. She had stayed in the temple for a few years in her previous life, but she had almost driven the abbot crazy, so she had been chased out… Back then, the mental hospital’s director was such a serious old man, but she had turned him into a genderless and brainless psychopath.

“So what if I’m about to die? I’ve had enough in this life.” To be able to pull that person back from the brink of death, the imperial preceptor was already very satisfied. “If you want to find General Zhao, then come with me on the 15th of next month. You’ll understand with one look at the saintess. Anyone who sees a woman like her will give their heart to her and want to give her everything, including his life.”

The corners of Jiang Xi’s mouth twitched. The imperial preceptor was too obsessed and she did not want to communicate with him anymore.

“You better pray that the saintess didn’t touch my husband, otherwise… Do you believe that she will die a horrible death?” Jiang Xi raised her eyebrows.

“Also, you should take care of yourself first. You only have three years of life left at most.” Jiang Xi shook her head. Without a life-extending item, the imperial preceptor would not live for more than three years. He already looked defeated.

Suddenly, Jiang Xi’s stomach moved. Her body stiffened, and she was dumbfounded. She held her stomach with both hands and felt something arching her stomach, left and right.

The imperial preceptor stared at her for a while, “Will you give birth to a normal baby? I did a divination for the fetus in your womb last time…” Jiang Xi was a person with great fortune, while Zhao Ruifeng was a man of heaven’s decline.

Seeing that the imperial preceptor did not continue, Jiang Xi raised her head and asked, “And then?”

The imperial preceptor was expressionless, “And? Do you see the hat I’m wearing?” The state preceptor pointed at his head. He had not revealed his hair for the entire day because when he woke up this morning, his hair had been burned completely. The problem was that he did not feel anything at all.

The state preceptor lifted the brim of his hat and showed Jiang Xi his head. There was not a single strand of hair on his dark head, and there was even a burnt smell. Jiang Xi opened her mouth. At this time, the baby in her belly moved even more vigorously, as if it was jumping up and down. This child… did not seem to be a law-abiding person.

“Your hairstyle looks good too. You don’t look old. Don’t you think so, phoenix?” Jiang Xi asked the phoenix. The phoenix looked up at the imperial preceptor and its face twitched. The phoenix flapped its wings and laughed, and the imperial preceptor’s face turned even uglier.

The phoenix’s cry snapped the emperor back to his senses. He glanced at Jiang Xi, then at the expressions of the civil and military officials below him and coughed.

The emperor raised his hand, and the people below fell silent. The officials who had been drowsy suddenly woke up and sat up straight. They gave the emperor a look that said ‘you’re great’ and then turned to look at Jiang Xi seriously.

As soon as the emperor stood up, the officials clapped. Looking at their energetic appearance, it was a little different as he seemed like he was dozing off every time he spoke preciously.

“Everyone knows why I am hosting this palace banquet today.” The emperor said, and the officials nodded. The emperor personally stepped forward and took Jiang Xi’s hand. “Today, I will announce to the world that this is my daughter, the pearl that I lost twenty years ago. It is my negligence that has caused my ‘s little princess to suffer. Today, I’m going to tell the world that I don’t have a crown prince, only a princess! The only one who is favored and loved by the heavens is my daughter!” The emperor shouted as he raised Jiang Xi’s hand above his head.

The people below stood up one after another, lifted their trousers, and knelt down in unison. “The princess will live a thousand years, a thousand thousand years!”

“I let the princess fall outside the palace. I was deceived and mistook a fish’s eyes for pearls. I have disappointed the people and the world.” The emperor paused for a moment. According to the usual practice, at this time, all the officials should be shouting, ‘Your Majesty is wise and brilliant, and you have rendered meritorious service in governing the world. You are a wise ruler of the world’. Usually, everyone should advise him. However, the emperor waited for a long time, and no one said anything.
