Chapter 247 - 247 Not a Prince, but a Princess
247 Not a Prince, but a Princess
The imperial physician looked hesitantly at the crown prince, wondering if the emperor would still save the crown prince this time.
The emperor’s eyes swept over them and the imperial physicians immediately scrambled out.
“Empress, we have been husband and wife for more than twenty years. You followed us when you were young, and we are a young couple. Now tell us, whose child is this?” The emperor’s hands were trembling. The empress had actually made him a cuckold! He felt as if he had been struck by lightning and could not recover!
The empress’ eyes were listless and she sat on the ground expressionlessly. She then cut her finger and squeezed the blood out to pour into the crown prince’s mouth. Her eyes were filled with crazy hatred. “Your Majesty, take a look for yourself…” She chuckled, but her eyes slowly became dazed. Zhao Panpan had been in the palace for more than seven months, and the empress’ mental state was getting worse by the day. Every time she saw Zhao Panpan’s big belly, she would gnash her teeth in hatred.
The emperor’s face was dark as he watched the crown prince drink the Empress’s blood and continue to vomit blood. His heart suddenly jumped.
“It’s my fault, it’s my fault… Everything is my fault, I’m guilty…” The empress was crying and laughing at the same time, while the crown prince was convulsing from vomiting blood.
“Every injustice has its perpetrator and every debt has its debtor. I have made outrageously wrong in this life. Your Majesty, look at the crown prince, do you really think he is our little princess? Is he really worthy of being our princess? Hahahaha…” The empress staggered to her feet. Her body was crooked, and she seemed to have gone even crazier.
“Princess? A little princess?” When the emperor heard these two words, his expression changed in an instant. “What did you just say? You gave birth to a princess back then?” The emperor was almost roaring out loud. “You’re telling me that the child who created such a big scene back then is actually a princess?!” That year, when the strange phenomenon appeared, everyone said that the child in the empress’ stomach was the true son of heaven, the ruler of a country. This was why he had never doubted the empress. However, what did the empress say now? That the strange phenomenon was because of the little princess? Could this be the birth of an empress? The emperor was so angry that he almost laughed.
“Your Majesty, please spare the empress. All these years. the empress has been thinking about her daughter outside the palace every day and night. She has already been punished. The empress knows her mistake…” The nanny beside the empress pleaded for the empress and kept kowtowing.
The emperor’s body swayed. Fortunately, he held onto the table and chair behind him. Otherwise, he would have fainted on the ground! The crown prince was not his or the empress’. The emperor’s knees went soft and he almost knelt on the ground!
The emperor suddenly thought of the time when he had appointed the crown prince. At that time, it had rained heavily for three days and three nights. Outside the toyal study, there were crows cawing every day. There were even crows that had hit their heads on the palace walls. It seemed that that time was a warning from the heavens.
“At that time, the whole Jing City was saying that the child in my stomach was the future emperor and that he would lead our country to glory. Your Majesty also came to visit the child in my stomach every day and kept calling him a prince. During that period of time, Your Majesty stayed in my bedroom every day. The concubines in the harem were envious. These things blinded my eyes and blinded my heart…” The empress only felt that everything in the past seemed to have happened yesterday. She could still clearly remember the smile on the child’s face when he was born.
“When the little princess was born, her whole body was white and tender. There was even a smile on the corner of her mouth. At that time, I even heard the sound of sanskrit…” The empress laughed and cried at the same time, as if she had gone mad.
“So, you changed my princess on your own accord?” The emperor’s body was numb. Looking at the crown prince he had doted on for more than 20 years, he felt his vision darken. “Empress, who gave you the courage?! Where is that child? Whose child did you bring in?! How dare you?! You are usurping the throne, you are rebelling!”
The emperor was so scared that his entire body was trembling. This country’s thousand-year-old foundation, the country that his ancestors had fought so hard for, was almost handed over to someone else!
“You… You’re really…” The emperor was so angry that he felt dizzy. When the empress gave birth, the whole city was filled with a strange fragrance, and even the flowers in the palace were fighting to bloom. At that time, he thought that his country was about to usher in a golden age. However, after the crown prince was appointed, the country vaguely showed signs of decline. The emperor was puzzled. After all, no matter how he looked at the crown prince, he could not see any problems. The only problem was that he was too unremarkable. The only time he left a deep impression was when he was three years old and stole countless precious birds raised by him and the former emperor. He said that he was deceived by a wild girl from the countryside and gave all of them to her. After that, the crown prince was no longer outstanding.
