Chapter 933: She is pregnant

Even though Eunuch Xi had lost a hundred taels to Chi Jia, he did not mind as he knew that he would be able to earn them back from someone else. After he learned all the tricks and tips from Chi Jia as well as about the gambling den, he remarked, " Miss Su is really a woman with novel ideas, to think that she came up with such a good idea.

If the gambling den is successfully built then it will really help the crown prince in more than one way."

" You are right," Chi Jia nodded as he collected the cards and then placed them neatly on the table before putting them in the box.

Seeing that Chi Jia was not leaving, Eunuch Xi knew that he wanted to say something to him. He picked up the teapot and then turned to look at his servant before saying, " Go and bring some tea for my guest."

Once the servant left, he turned to look at Chi Jia and asked, " Is there something that you wanted to tell me?"

Chi Jia smiled and then questioned, " I heard that Old Master Su made things difficult for your son a few days ago. He called your son a few unsettling names, are you going to leave him alone like that?"

" Of course, I am not willing," Eunuch Xi stated with a cold yet helpless look on his face. " I really want to teach him a lesson but I cannot as my hands are tied." He was the closest aide of the Emperor, though it came with a lot of benefits there were a lot of restrictions as well. He couldn"t act on his impulses and then beat up Old Master Su just because he wanted to do so.

" I am still not clear about what happened," Chi Jia blinked his eyes and then questioned Eunuch Xi. He really wanted to know what led to the altercation between Xi Yuanzhong and Old Master Su.

When Eunuch Xi heard his question, his face turned dark and he was angered once more.

He snorted disdainfully and then replied, " Why else? My son is the top scorer of the academy. Everyone thinks that he is going to be the next prime minister sooner or later, as he is not only witty but also respected by the Emperor." Stay connected with mvl

" You already know that Old Master Su wants his second son to become the prime minister but he is nowhere as good as my son. If not for the fact that I am aware of his schemes, he would have done the same thing as what he did to me which reduced me to become a eunuch. However because I have stopped that man time and time again, he is quite upset."

" He is quite dissatisfied with me and my son and on top of that, his second son was held back from giving examination. Dear Old Master Su might have come up with the plan of dissing my son in front of everyone by using my ident.i.ty as an incomplete man.

No son will listen to his father getting disrespected, fortunately, I warned my son and he did not beat that old man in a fit of anger or else he would have lost his opportunity to sit at the examination."

Eunuch Xi snorted, " That man dared to call my son an unfortunate boy for having me as a father as if he already did not know who was behind my current condition."

Chi Jia was quite stunned when he heard Eunuch Xi"s response, he frowned and said, " Old Master Su is getting more and more out of hand. Who gave him the courage to do so?"

"The child in the belly of imperial concubine Su," replied Eunuch Xi with a stormy look in his eyes.

When Eunuch Xi mentioned that Su Yiqian was pregnant, Chi Jia was stunned. He did not expect something like this to happen and asked, " His Majesty——"

" It had nothing to do with His Majesty, in fact, he is quite furious with that woman himself," Eunuch Xi waved his hand as he stated coldly, " That woman is quite sharp and scheming, for the sake of getting pregnant, she started to drink all sorts of medicines and even arranged for a bunch of aphrodisiac candles.

A few days ago there was a banquet where she pretended to fall and asked his majesty to send her back, it was done in front of the Su family and his majesty could not refuse, mind you that his majesty was quite drunk when it happened. If not then he would have never succ.u.mbed to those candles."

" Doesn"t that mean that you will have to think even more cautiously before avenging the grudge that you share with Old Master Su?" Chi Jia questioned.

" You are right." Eunuch Xi nodded before he said in a disgruntled manner, " His Majesty said that he would definitely not let this matter rest easily and the child would be taken and given to the Empress but if the child is a son do you think that imperial concubine will be willing? Now we can only hope that the child is a daughter, only then can I deal with that man!"

Chi Jia was really surprised. He did not hear anything about Su Yiqian. He thought that it was because she was retreating in order to advance but who would have thought that she was actually putting her mind in scheming against the Emperor? Something that she succeeded in! However, this only showed how vicious, gutsy and dangerous she was as a woman.

But at the same time she was quite foolish did she think that the Emperor would stay quiet after suffering a humiliation like this, even if she was pregnant with the royal seed, it did not change the fact that she schemed against the son of the heavens.

Even if she gave birth to a son, his majesty might not treat her well in the future.

But of course, she could always use that young child to scheme against the crown prince.

He thought everything carefully and realized that it was indeed necessary to weaken the strength of the Su family. He raised his head and then asked Eunuch Xi, " Are you really not getting revenge?"
