Chapter 238 - 238 A Green Hat
238 A Green Hat
The empress staggered back, her heart filled with sorrow. The crown prince’s brows furrowed slightly. Seeing the empress like this made him uncomfortable. Although the empress did not dote on him, she had never looked at him with such disdain. The crown prince looked at Zhao Panpan and his eyes were cold, “Pure Consort, please take care of yourself. Mother saw you fall and helped you out of good will. Don’t let the people in your palace spread any rumors. If anything that shouldn’t be spread, be careful of the lives of the people in your palace!” The crown prince sneered and his eyes swept across the crowd, causing them to shiver.
Zhao Panpan had never seen such crown prince acting so coldly, especially the way he looked at her stomach. It was like a cold venomous snake, as if it would dig her stomach open and take out the child if she was not careful.
The servants in Zhao Panpan’s palace trembled and knelt on the ground, not daring to make a sound. The crown prince waved his sleeves and walked toward the empress’ palace. The empress’ state made him very uneasy. As he walked into the empress’ palace, he found the nanny standing guard at the door. She shook her head at him, “Your Highness, please go back. The empress does not want to see anyone. The empress’ condition has been very unstable recently. If Your Highness sees her, I’m afraid it will backfire.” The nanny sighed. What kind of sin had she committed? She was probably one of the few people in the palace who knew about this.
The crown prince paused. “Nanny, you’ve put in a lot of effort. When mother is better, I hope that mother can be magnanimous and let go of General Zhao’s wife. I have some friendship with her.” The crown prince hesitated for a moment. Previously, whatever he said to the empress, she would agree. However, now that he said these words, the nanny first frowned and then walked into the palace to find the empress.
The empress’ mouth was already bleeding from her bite. She coldly shrank into a corner, “Who does the crown prince think he is?! Although I disdain to touch that Zhao family’s Young Madam, I will not let him have his way! Didn’t Zhao Panpan want Jiang Xi to die? Did the crown prince want to save Jiang Xi? Alright, I will bury the entire Zhao family! They’re be buried with my good daughter!” The empress, who had recovered some of her senses, was filled with resentment!
The nanny did not dare to persuade her anymore and could only agree in a low voice. In her heart, she sighed at the empress’ tragic life, falling into such a dilemma. If the child she gave birth to was raised well, how good would that be? Such a child was loved by the heavens, but the empress was so obsessed with sending her away.
On the other side, the crown prince turned around and walked toward the prison with a smile on his face. He had ordered people to stop all the letters from Jing City. When Zhao Ruifeng returned to Jing City, everything would be settled! No one could take his Xixi away from him!
In the prison of Jing City, strange things had happened frequently since Jiang Xi had been imprisoned. The bedding of some officers had been bitten to pieces, and the food in the prison had disappeared without a trace. There was always the smell of rat feces in the kettle. Since Jiang Xi had been imprisoned, the people in the prison had not had a good time.
The prison was damp and cold, but there happened to be a window where Jiang Xi was. The sunlight shone in every day, so it was a little warmer.
“The one next door, come, come, come, it’s time for lunch. There’s meat today! There’s also chicken mushroom stew, shark’s fin porridge, and two large chicken legs!” Prince Ding’s son, who was next door, lowered his voice and handed Jiang Xi some food. Since he entered the prison, Jiang Xi had not said a word to him. However, he did not know why, but he had a sense of familiarity with Jiang Xi. It was a familiarity that was engraved in his bones.
“Your sister-in-law’s cooking skills are really good. If I can marry her, I won’t even want my three palaces and six courtyards.” Prince Ding’s son laughed. He still firmly believed that the heavens let him transmigrate to let him be the main character.
Jiang Xi chuckled. Her face was a little pale and her head was a little dizzy. She only regained some strength after drinking the chicken soup. There was some noise outside the prison. “Your Highness, please come in …”
Jiang Xi frowned slightly. Someone was in a hurry to make her husband a cuckold…
At the same time, Zhao Ruifeng, who had his letter stolen and knew nothing about what had happened in Jing City, sneezed suddenly. As soon as he sneezed, the bird’s nest made of new leaves on the tree was broken down by him, and it hung on his head.
“Haha, general, you have a green hat on your head!” As soon as the bird’s nest landed, a soldier pointed at Zhao Ruifeng and laughed.
