249 The Coffin Can’t Be Pressed Down Anymore
At the same time, a tremor suddenly came from the tomb. The tomb guard trembled and knelt on the ground, kowtowing. He had people climb up the coffin and press down on the trembling coffin lid. He also had people quickly inform the emperor. “Emperor, the coffins of the ancestors can’t be pressed down!”
It was as if the heavens were saying, “You think you’ll be fine just because the coffin lid is pressed down? Emperor, go ahead and seek death. Wait for Jiang Xi to come out and kill you!”
At this time, the emperor in Jing City was in fear and trepidation. He had been the emperor for so long, and even when he was dormant in the cold palace, he had not been so frightened. When the heavens blew a wind, he felt that the heavens wanted to blow him to the city gates and hang him as a public display. When the heavens rained, he felt that the heavens wanted to drown him as a warning to the others. He felt that the heavens were striking him with lightning because he had been immoral and slept with his daughter!
The emperor’s head was about to explode! He now felt that the the fact that crown prince being fake was not scary. What was really scary was that he had slept with someone he should not have slept with! The emperor’s heart was almost irascible to the extreme. He simply had people wrap the bleeding crown prince in a summer sleeping mat and took advantage of the night to walk toward the Zhao family!
The Zhao family! The emperor’s face darkened! He would not forget that it was the Zhao family who had plotted to take over his country!
When the emperor arrived at the Zhao family, it was late at night, and the Zhao family members were eating in the hall. The emperor took Zhao Hongwei’s token. Although the guards did not know who he was, they still brought the emperor into the manor.
“Hurry up! Move faster! Why are you dilly-dallying?!” A woman’s voice was heard.
“You can’t do anything right, but you can ruin everything. You always have so many evil ideas, and now your daughter-in-law is in jail. If you don’t get your daughter-in-law out quickly, you can forget about living in this house. Hurry up and eat. After you’re done, we’ll go from house to house to beg. You usually have so many friends, so there must be one who can help.” Concubine Fang chided Zhao Hongwei with a cold face.
When the emperor entered, he saw Zhao Hongwei, who used to be elegant and carefree, scooping rice with his head lowered. There was a clear handprint on his face.
The emperor was shocked. Zhao Hongwei was well-known to have a ‘little harem’ in Jing City. He loved whoever he saw and took in whoever he liked. The concubines in the Zhao family’s harem were all reasonable and would not stop Zhao Hongwei from bringing women into the manor. They were all in love with each other in the marquis’s residence, like a family. The emperor had even envied the harmony in Zhao Hongwei’s harem. However, at this time, it seemed like something had broken…
“Hurry up, why didn’t you dawdle like this in bed?” Concubine Wen gobbled up the rice in her bowl and handed it over. Before Zhao Hongwei could react, his hand was slapped away, and the back of his hand turned red.
“That’s right, the Madam in your backyard is about to die. Do you want to order a coffin and make a big scene?” Concubine Yuan shouted. For some reason, Xiao Meili started screaming when she woke up this morning. She curled up on the bed and kept screaming. Moreover, Xiao Meili’s skin seemed to be shedding.
“Of course it’s… What do you guys think?” Zhao Hongwei was just about to call for a doctor, but he swallowed his words back. His desire to live made him change his words instantly. His usual refined air was gone, and he was trembling in fear.
When Concubine Yuan’s eyes swept over him, Zhao Hongwei’s skin tensed up. He wanted to give himself a few tight slaps! Why did he marry so many concubines? He had once had a beautiful dream of living with a group of women. Now, his dream had come true, but there was still a gap between reality and it.
“Alright, she’s the Madam of the Zhao family. Get her a veterinarian. It’s more appropriate for her status.” Concubine Fang sneered. Zhao Hongwei did not dare to say a word. This family had long been controlled by this group of women.
The emperor watched from outside the door, wondering if the Zhao family was trying to rebel, scheme for the throne, and want Zhao Ruifeng to build his own army. He wondered if Zhao Hongwei was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, and maybe he was just like him in the past, lying low and looking for an opportunity to conquer the country. The emperor’s head was spinning from all the thinking. His mind was filled with theories, but at this moment, the emperor suddenly felt that Zhao Hongwei’s life was difficult.
“Marquis, there are thirty days in a month, and you can spend one night in each concubine’s room. If there are thirty-one days in a month, I’ll give you a holiday, okay?” Concubine Fang asked.
