Chapter 279 My Father Has a Destiny
"The Princess is here."
The banquet welcomed another guest.
Sean, who had just returned to his seat, raised his head with drunken eyes.
Bai Ye came in a graceful and elegant dress.
Bai You's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, but he still stood up to greet the other party.
"Third brother, Bai Ye came here presumptuously, I hope you don't mind." Bai Ye bowed gracefully.
Bai You laughed and said, "My sister came to play with me, and I, as a brother, am naturally very happy."
The two looked harmonious on the surface, but in fact, the other guests at the banquet had already muttered secretly.
As everyone knows, when the Princess Bai Ye did not obtain supernatural powers, she was a bargaining chip of some size, and several princes would also strive for her support in normal times.
Bai Ye had a good relationship with most members of the royal family, except the third prince.
According to some gossip, the brother and sister had quarreled in front of His Majesty the Emperor, and the main reason was Bai Ye's mother.
Bai Ye's mother's family has no descendants, and its huge family heritage is basically controlled by the White Rose Family, that is, Grand Duke Wenqie, and the promoter is the third prince.
After Bai Ye awakened her supernatural power, a princess without inheritance rights suddenly became a competitor. The first thing she did after returning to the imperial capital was to take back what belonged to her.
It is precisely because of this that the already tense relationship between the two has become worse.
Bai Ye wants to take back the inheritance of his mother's family. There are two main obstacles, one is Grand Duke Wenqie and the other is the third prince.
It is said that Grand Duke Wenqie has not expressed his opinion for a long time, so the pressure in this regard has basically all come to the third prince.
Now, Bai Ye came uninvited, and no one knows what he is thinking.
Of course, these are all fights in secret. If they are put on the surface, the brother and sister will naturally have a deep brother-sister relationship, even if everyone knows that their relationship is bad.
The two people were polite to each other, and Bai Ye greeted Karado and the fourth prince Bai Si, and finally set his sights on Sean.
Sean was drunk and smiled politely at Bai Ye.
"So, I should call you cousin." Bai Ye's voice didn't say anything, but there was a hint of confusion in the eyes that occasionally met Sean's.
"Meet the princess, cousin, I'm polite." Sean said with a smile.
He muttered in his heart: Bai Ye came to me on his own, this can't be blamed on me, godfather.
Bai Ye bowed slightly, looked around, and actually sat directly on the empty seat next to Sean.
What signal is this sending?
Some people even thought of a deeper place: Bai Ye wanted to take back his mother's inheritance, and the actual holder, Grand Duke Wen Qie, had not made any move for a long time... Could it be that Bai Youming took action?
Now looking at Bai Ye's attitude, is he going to join forces with the new prince?
What about the promise that Prince Bai Youming would support the eldest prince Bai Zhan?
Seeing Bai Ye sitting elegantly next to Sean, Bai You's eyes flashed with a barely visible coldness, and then he smiled and sat on the other side.
At first glance, it seemed like the princes and princesses of the empire were accompanying Sean in the middle to drink.
Sean, who was already the focus of the crowd, was even more eye-catching, but he just leaned lazily on the chair and toasted the people around him from time to time.
The brother and sister next to him didn't know what they were thinking. After sitting down, they didn't talk to Sean, but each took a glass of wine and drank slowly.
Sean, who was smiling and drinking a glass with Karado, took back his hand, and suddenly, he felt a warm and cool breath coming from in front of his eyes.
It seemed that the moonlight was blooming in front.
Sean looked around inadvertently and found that no one, whether it was Karado or the third prince, noticed it.
It seems that Bai Ye's development of his supernatural powers is getting better and better.
He didn't deliberately block it, but let the moonlight bloom and approach.
Bai Ye next to him took a sip gently, but her voice sounded in Sean's mind.
"How did you get my uncle's trust?"
Sean smiled slightly and responded in his mind: "I am handsome and suave. Isn't it normal for your uncle to like a promising young man like me?"
Perhaps because of the direct dialogue in his mind, Bai Ye's emotions were more clearly revealed.
She said angrily: "Why didn't you tell me?"
Sean rolled his eyes and clinked glasses with Bai You beside him: "Why should I tell you everything? You are not my wife. Do I have to inform you when I do something?"
Bai Ye seemed to try her best to calm down her emotions: "Of course, we don't have that kind of relationship, but shouldn't you inform me about this kind of thing?"
"Why, inform me, I am your cousin now?" Sean sneered.
Bai Ye's speech speed was obviously much faster: "It was the uncle who recognized you as his adopted son, right?"
She seemed to be seeking confirmation.
Sean was in a playful mood and said leisurely, "I'm sorry that this is a royal secret."
"You!"
Bai Ye was angry, but he still had to smile and politely communicate with the people around him.
The blond speaker was also present today. When he saw Bai Ye, he came over and toasted politely.
After exchanging glances with Bai You silently, the speaker smiled and said, "Your Highness the Princess has a brother again. You must get close to him in the future."
"Of course." Bai Ye glanced at Sean.
The speaker continued cheerfully, "I don't usually see the princess come to the banquet. It's really an honor to see her today. Hey, I heard that you seem to have known the prince before?"
This question was straightforward, not like the speaker's level.
Bai Ye thought about it and knew that the speaker was helping Bai You to shut up himself and Sean.
Many things cannot be said openly. The princess and the new prince are old acquaintances, so this matter doesn't matter. However, once the prince joins the war of the royal heir, the prince often represents Bai Youming's attitude.
This is a taboo.
Therefore, the speaker obviously wants to take advantage of the crowd to make Bai Ye and Sean clear.
This seems useless, but if it comes to the point of fighting a public opinion war in the future, this excuse may come in handy.
The speaker, who has been struggling in the big dye vat of the imperial capital for many years, knows this very well, and Bai Ye also knows this very well.
After a slight hesitation, Bai Ye nodded: "I did know my cousin before, but I didn't know him at that time. It's a pity that we didn't get close."
The speaker smiled and looked at Sean: "This is such a pity."
He was waiting for Sean to express his opinion.
Of course, in his imagination, Sean could only learn to speak like Bai Ye.
Sean laughed.
The guests around him also smiled.
"Burp--" Sean burped and stretched out his hand with drunken eyes.
The speaker thought he was going to shake hands with him, so he walked a few steps closer.
"Pah!"
The loud sound echoed in the hall, and half of the speaker's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Sean slapped the speaker without any warning!
This scene shocked all the guests present, even Karado and Bai Si, who had been silent, looked over.
The speaker's face was full of disbelief. He was one of the three giants of the parliament, but he was humiliated like this.
But politicians are politicians. Without waiting for Bai You to remind him, he staggered back a few steps and fell to the ground in misery.
"Your Highness..." He laughed bitterly, "I have devoted half my life to the empire. I don't ask to leave my name in the long river of the empire's history in the future. I just hope to be worthy of your majesty's trust in me... Why do you humiliate me..."
The speaker was very smart. He knew that Prince Bai Youming was not easy to mess with, so he directly brought up the current emperor.
There was nothing wrong with what he said, not to mention that he was the victim.
However, before Bai You behind him was filled with indignation, Sean stood up staggeringly.
He was drunk and pointed at the speaker and cursed: "Who are you? How dare you question the relationship between me and Her Highness the Princess in public? According to Article 13 of the revised version of the Imperial Law on page 9, prying into the privacy of royal family members should be severely punished!"
The speaker was stunned, and the other guests were also stunned.
You are drunk, and you can still remember all the laws and regulations so clearly?
Sean snorted coldly: "It is because of your service to the empire that I only punish you slightly."
"I..."
The speaker wanted to speak, but just as he was about to open his mouth, Sean slammed the table and said angrily: "The princess and I are cousins. You insist on making us clear our relationship. What, do you think that the current emperor and my father Bai You are destined to be in harmony?! Tell me, what are your intentions?!"
After this big hat, even Karado felt his teeth soften.
The speaker never expected that this prince would directly combine him and the princess, representing the prince and the emperor respectively.
The problem is, there is nothing wrong with this...
Whoever responds to this will die. The speaker, who had just been in a miserable image, hurriedly explained: "I don't mean that, absolutely not!"
Sean squinted at him, then squatted down, and his face, which was cold and violent just now, turned into a gentle color.
"Of course I know. Everyone here should work hard for the development of the empire and dedicate everything to His Majesty. How could anyone deliberately provoke the relationship between His Majesty and the prince?"
The speaker was sweating: "Of course, of course."
"Yeah." Sean nodded with a smile.
The speaker looked left and right, and then picked up the bottle on the table: "It's time to punish you, it's time to punish you."
As he said that, he raised the bottle and poured it into his mouth without caring about his image. It was not over until he finished one bottle, and it was over after three bottles in a row.
The special fruit wine can affect the veto, and although the speaker is in a high position, his own strength has just entered the king level. After a few bottles, he collapsed and couldn't speak.
Sean nodded with satisfaction, he raised his glass and looked at everyone: "I toast you all."
Everyone stood up and responded.
Bai Ye, who watched all this, suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of pleasure.
These people have no idea what level of jerk this guy named Sean is...
I used to be the one being bullied, now it's your turn to be unlucky.
The knot in my heart that I have been unable to let go of for a long time has now dissipated a lot.
Even Bai Ye has to admit that when he is unlucky, the best way to quickly relieve his emotions is to watch others suffer the same misfortune.
But...
Bai Ye glanced at Sean. The reputation of this prince will soon be known throughout the imperial capital.
No wonder my uncle likes him so much...He should be just my uncle's adopted son, right? I think so...
Although it is not uncommon for cousins to get married in this world, and people only blame those blood relatives, Bai Ye still feels a little uncomfortable if Sean is really his cousin.
No, why should I think about getting married?
Just when Bai Ye was struggling secretly, suddenly, everyone present raised their heads.
A huge force that can be clearly felt is approaching at a very fast speed.
Someone dared to enter the palace to attack? !
In the moment of surprise, Bai You had already stood up and said in a deep voice: "Come here."
As soon as the voice fell, the force actually accelerated again. With a loud explosion, the space next to the French window of the banquet hall twisted in a weird way.
With a bang, all the glass burst open, and a bloody man with shackles flashed and appeared in the original place.
"Protect the adults!" Bai You shouted loudly.
And Sean and Karado narrowed their eyes at the same time.
That cultist...
The man in black could hardly see his original face. He flashed back to the original place, looked around with lifeless eyes, and then suddenly pounced on the guests.
"How dare you!"
Karado shouted, and rushed to meet him before Baiyou's guards.
Crimson Peak? !
Sean's eyes suddenly shrank, and Karado's breath leaked out a little, and he keenly sensed the other party's strength.
However, the cultist didn't know what method he used. Although he was restrained by shackles, he still exuded a huge force. Karado wanted to grab him in the void, but he was forcibly freed.
At this moment, another group of people also caught up.
"There is an assassin, protect others!"
It was the military.
The cultist finally regained some consciousness. He scanned everyone around him with red eyes, but Karado was already approaching.
"Ah--"
He let out an inhuman roar, and then he forcibly tore open his abdomen.
A meat ball rolled to the ground, and there was actually a person in his stomach.
No, that was not a human, it was a demon baby with two feet on its head and wings on its back.
Covered with blood and mucus, the demon baby cried piercingly as soon as it fell to the ground.
Everyone present squatted down and covered their ears. The crying was madly stimulating everyone's etheric body.
"Pagans!" Karado shouted, and this time he even used both hands to hold the fist.
"Spare them!" The military who had just arrived shouted.
However, Karado just glanced coldly at the military personnel, and then he exerted force fiercely.
The demon baby that had just fallen to the ground twisted, its eyeballs burst, and its skin, flesh and bones twisted and mixed together.
Amid crying and roaring, the baby and the cultist burst together and turned into blood foam.
