255 Giving Birth
Seeing that Wu Tielong was deep in thought, Concubine Mei’er sneered in her heart.
“This ladle of hot water is because you ignored your many years of husband and wife relationship, your many years of father and daughter friendship, and because you to not take responsibility!” Concubine Mei’er ruthlessly poured the water on Wu Tielong’s body. Wu Tielong felt as if his entire body had exploded in a pot of oil. He wailed in pain and wished that he could be stabbed to death by someone and have a quick and satisfying death.
“This time, you cheated on her and even got together with such a cruel woman. You’ll be with her in hell from now on!” Another ladle of hot water was poured onto Wu Tielong. He wanted to dodge, but Concubine Mei’er poured another ladle of hot water onto his legs. Immediately, his legs started to bubble.
“My mother waited for you for so many years, but you never turned back to look at her. You followed Xiao Meili and even had a son with her. Hehe, guess how the crown prince died?” Concubine Mei’er’s eyes flashed as she looked at Wu Tielong with a smile.
Wu Tielong suddenly raised his head. At this moment, his face was badly mangled, and his eyeballs could no longer be seen. However, one could still feel the hatred in his body.
“I saw with my own eyes that someone was pouring things near the crown prince’s palace. Guess what I did after that? I’ve secretly lured the guards of the crown prince’s palace away…” Concubine Mei ‘er’s smile was still pure and innocent. Then, when Wu Tielong was still in a daze, she suddenly poured a ladle of hot water on his head!
Wu Tielong fell onto the ground limply, with his last breath. When Concubine Mei’er opened the door, the stench of blood immediately wafted out. Her face was filled with weakness and panic, and her entire body was trembling. “Someone, someone save me!”
Not long after, someone rushed over upon hearing the commotion. Concubine Mei’er was lying on the ground with tears streaming down her face. She pointed at the bloody figure in the room and trembled. That pitiful look made one’s heart ache, not to mention the slightest suspicion. She could not be someone who killed her father.
After Concubine Mei’er was taken away, the news of Xiao Meili’s lover being found in the residence spread. The entire Zhao residence was shrouded in a layer of panic. Who knew who had cheated on Zhao Hongwei? It was said that Zhao Hongwei knelt in front of his ancestors with a wine jar in his arms that night, crying his eyes out.
Among the panicking people, there was also the emperor. After the emperor returned to the palace that night, he sat in the imperial study for the whole night, and a few strands of his hair turned white.
The next morning, the emperor summoned someone in with a hoarse voice, “Give Zhao Panpan the imperial wine that I obtained a few years ago…” The emperor felt a sharp pain in his throat. He held his forehead and felt a sharp pain between his eyebrows.
The eunuch paused. The imperial wine was made with many medicinal herbs. It had the effect of boosting a man’s yang energy, but if a pregnant woman drank it… The eunuch saw the emperor’s cold face and quickly ordered for the imperial wine to be brought out. Just as he was about to send it over, he heard the palace maid’s hurried voice from outside, “Emperor, the Pure Consort’s acting up and seems to be going into premature labor!” As soon as Qing Ping entered the room, she knelt on the ground with a plop. The words she said almost made the emperor faint!
“What did you just say? Zhao Panpan is only seven months pregnant, how could she be born prematurely!” The emperor shot to his feet. His entire aura had changed, and his expression was extremely unsightly.
Before Qing Ping could speak, the emperor rushed out of the door. “No, you can’t give birth, this is disgraceful! Disgraceful!” Outside, it began to rain. The emperor ran madly in the rain. The concubines in the harem did not know the reason and thought that the emperor was worried about Zhao Panpan. They were all very jealous.
The emperor’s heart palpitated when he saw the rain. He was afraid that he would be the first emperor in history to be struck to death by lightning because of his lack of virtue and disregard of ethics!
When the emperor rushed into Zhao Panpan’s palace, there were already many palace maids waiting outside. Just as the emperor was about to push the palace maids aside and rush in, he heard the ear-piercing cry of a baby, “Sob…”
The emperor’s expression changed, and the door opened with a creak.
“Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor. The Pure Consort have given birth to a pair of boys!” The nanny who delivered the baby was a little flustered, and her voice was trembling. She could even hear the sound of the palace maids sucking in cold air in fear.
The emperor’s heart turned cold.
“Your Majesty, this is a place for women to give birth. It’s filthy. You can’t go in…” The old maidservant saw that the emperor was about to go in and quickly stopped him. The emperor’s eyes swept over her, and the old maidservant was scared. She immediately trembled in fear and retreated.
