209 Let Her Meet Me
The examination had just ended, and the students were spreading rumors all over Jing City, saying that the royal family must have done something to make the heavens so dissatisfied and that they were begging the emperor to give a strict order to investigate!
The emperor asked, “investigate what?” Who could he control if the heavens wanted to strike?
Among the troublemaking students, the first one to start was Jiang Si. He seemed to have become the leader of this incident.
“Your Majesty the Empress, let’s watch from here on and see who will have the last laugh!” Xiao Meili was lying on the bed with her hands and feet tied up. She laughed madly, and her eyes were full of hatred. Now that her appearance was disfigured, Zhao Hongwei did not care about it. He would occasionally go back to the Zhao residence or to see Concubine Mei’er. She had now become a joke in the circle of noble ladies in Jing City.
“Madam, the marquis just asked about your condition, and now he’s gone to the imperial physician to ask for medicine for you. Don’t be sad, Madam. The Pure Consort just sent back a message saying that she’s carrying twins and will definitely be of help to Madam in the future. She definitely won’t embarrass Madam.” The maidservant said to Xiao Meili with a face full of joy. Although they knew that Zhao Panpan was pregnant previously, they did not know that it was twins.
Xiao Meili was taken aback, but she was not as happy as the servant girl thought. “Let Panpan assist the crown prince in the future. It’s not bad to have two little princesses.” Xiao Meili’s heart turned cold. She could not get rid of the royal family’s genes of producing twins.
The servant girl did not seem to understand Xiao Meili’s expression. After examining Xiao Meili’s wound, she said, “Madam is wrong this time. Our Pure Consort is blessed. Today, the imperial preceptor divined that she is pregnant with boys. It’s just that everyone is tight-lipped and has not spread the news.” She probably could not even compare to the empress after giving birth to two boys.
However, Xiao Meili stood up and said, “Ah!” She moved so quickly that she forgot that she was covered in injuries. After screaming, blood immediately burst out of her face.
“Madam, your face …” The servant girl was so scared that her face turned pale. She immediately went to help Xiao Meili, but Xiao Meili looked at her with a pale face and asked, “The imperial preceptor said that Panpan is pregnant with boys? No, no, no, no, she can’t have this child, she can’t!”
Xiao Meili’s words scared the maidservant so much that her legs went soft. They would be princes, so how could Zhao Panpan not give birth to them just because Xiao Meili said so? Besides… The maidservant could also see that Zhao Panpan was clearly using her children to fight for favor, and even for the supreme position in the future.
“Quickly send a message, I want to go to the palace to see Panpan, no, let her come out to see me!” Xiao Meili hated the heavens for being blind and making her unable to get out of bed. The servant girl saw Xiao Meili’s ugly expression and immediately sent someone to pass on the message.
Xiao Meili’s face was ashen. She had wanted Zhao Pnapan to marry the emperor to protect the crown prince. If the empress was up to no good, Panpan would be able to whisper some pillow talk to the emperor. If that did not work, she could even drag the empress down from her horse. Zhao Panpan was only a tool to protect the crown prince. She definitely could not give birth to a child, not to mention twin boys!
Xiao Meili was frustrated. She felt that Zhao Panpan’s wings seemed to have hardened after entering the palace. She did not listen to orders and was afraid that she had other thoughts. Xiao Meili was used to dictating and believing in herself. She thought that Zhao Panpan was raised by her and had the same heart as her. She did not know that her mother-daughter relationship could not even withstand a single blow in the face of monstrous power.
At this moment, Jiang Xi was a little confused. The emperor had True Dragon Protection. If Zhao Panpan was with the emperor, she should not have been struck by lightning. Why did the dragon head in the imperial study fall off? Unless something that should not exist was produced. It was her intention for the heavenly lightning to strike Xiao Meili, Zhao Panpan, the crown prince, and the others, but the heavenly lightning had turned around and struck the emperor. It was likely that the emperor’s virtue was lacking, or something had gone wrong somewhere else. That was truly a warning from the heavens!
“Child, child…” Jiang Xi murmured and suddenly looked up. It was the heavens who could not endure it and wanted to kill the child! Jiang Xi felt a chill in her heart. Since ancient times, the royal family had been the lifeblood of the country. Naturally, they would be protected by the heavens. Moreover, Jing City was built above Dragon Mountain and it protected the royal family for generations. If something happened to the royal family, the world would send out a warning.
“Go and find out what’s happening in the palace recently, and then go to the Pure Consort’s place to see if she’s feeling better.” As soon as Jiang Xi gave the order, Zhao Yingying entered the room.
