Chapter 956: Yes, we do have a child!

~5 min read 958 words

But he didn't expect that the things that would make him troubled were still to come.

Below the stage.

Zhu Wushi stood with his hands behind his back, appearing very confident, his gaze fixed directly on the Emperor.

Just as the officials in the court were attacking Zhu Wushi with their words.

Suddenly.

A eunuch trotted in quickly, holding a document in his hand.

After the Emperor finished reading it, his expression changed drastically, and a look of horror flashed across his face.

Although the change in the Emperor's expression was only for a split second, it was seen clearly by Zhu Wushi, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

This scene, paired with that famous quote from Shen Teng in "Hello Mr. Billionaire," was extremely fitting.

I'm not pretending anymore; I'm showing my cards.

It turned out that the document the eunuch gave the Emperor was a memorial submitted to the Emperor by ten generals who held military power.

In the memorial, they unanimously supported the Divine Marquis marrying Su Xin.

This was a naked forcing of the palace!

The huge power of the Dragon Guard Villa + Zhu Wushi's prestige and martial arts + the ten generals; even if the Emperor was unwilling in his heart, he could only announce in court that he agreed to the Divine Marquis officially marrying Su Xin as his Princess on the fifteenth of next month.

The camera gave a close-up of the Emperor's hand; his hand had already clenched into a fist and was trembling, representing that his heart was extremely unsettled and had already stirred up monstrous waves.

Bullet comments scrolled:

"So the Divine Marquis had already started laying out his plans in order to marry Su Xin."

"Civil officials are not scary; what's scary are these generals who hold military power."

"The Divine Marquis is awesome; he quietly recruited the ten generals under his command."

"It wasn't quiet; he used the Dragon Guard Villa's intelligence network to get a hold on these generals."

"Earlier, Cao Zhengchun also wanted to get the military tallies of the ten generals, but he didn't succeed!"

"Speaking of which, if the Divine Marquis wanted to rebel now, it should be very easy."

"Indeed. Wan Sanqian helps him; that's wealth! The ten generals are military power! He also has his own intelligence network and the four great secret agents, and he must have his people in the court. The only things that can stop him from rebelling are the hearts of the people and himself."

"No, there's also Jiang Yuyan! With her current strength, killing the Divine Marquis shouldn't be difficult!"

"The Divine Marquis just wants to marry Su Xin!"

"Back then, Jiang Yuyan stopped him from marrying Su Xin; now that he has great power in his hands and dominates the court, if Jiang Yuyan doesn't appear, there will be no one who can stop him."

"I actually want to see him together with Su Xin."

"It's just that now, the Emperor's suspicion of him is even deeper."

"……"

The news that the Iron-Gall Divine Marquis was going to marry Su Xin quickly spread throughout the entire capital.

The Divine Marquis found Su Xin with a face full of joy and told her the good news.

A long-cherished wish of many years, fulfilled in one day; how could it not make people happy.

But Su Xin still had a worried look on her face.

The Divine Marquis asked in confusion.

Su Xin frowned slightly, thought about it, and finally decided to tell the Divine Marquis about that past event from many years ago; at the same time, she also felt it was time.

She dismissed the maid by her side.

Zhu Wushi said somewhat suspiciously: "What is it, you have something you want to tell me."

Su Xin nodded and said: "Wushi, I know you love me very much, but after we two broke up, there was a period of more than a year that was completely blank. You don't know where I went or what I did; why have you never asked me? Don't you want to know at all?"

Zhu Wushi's gaze was deep: "Let the past be the past; I don't want to delve into it! Let that blank space remain in my heart."

Su Xin shook her head and said: "I don't think so; I want to tell you everything. If I don't say it, I will be uneasy."

"Good, whatever you want to say, just say it."

Su Xin talked about the past.

It turned out that back then, because she couldn't marry Zhu Wushi, she left the capital in sadness, traveled a long way, went to many places, and wandered in the Jianghu, but fate is sometimes very wonderful; by a lake, she met Gu Santong.

She had once been Gu Santong's fiancée, wanting to marry Zhu Wushi but unable to; seeing Gu Santong was like a person in the vast sea grabbing a piece of wood.

Although Gu Santong was obsessed with martial arts, challenging experts all day long, and determined to be the number one in the world...

"But people are not plants; who can be without feelings? A lonely man and a lonely woman, we eventually crossed the line."

Zhu Wushi stared at Su Xin, his face twitching.

He had guessed it, so he had never wanted to delve into this past, preferring it to remain a blank space.

His beloved had already been occupied by someone else; of course, he would choose... to forgive her!

"This mistake was caused by me; I should be responsible." the Divine Marquis said.

Su Xin shook her head, took a deep breath, and said: "It's not just that; I also had a child with Santong."
