281 Why Did You Put On So Much Weight?
The emperor looked at Jiang Xi. His daughter was blessed. He believed that this was his real daughter. She was born with the care of the heavens and everything she had was of the highest quality.
Jiang Si pulled Yang Fen back with a sullen face. Yang Fen did not dare to speak loudly, so she could only pull on Jiang Si’s sleeve and whisper, “I’m just… I just want her to take into consideration our sibling relationship and help you more in the future.”
The veins on Jiang Si’s forehead popped out when he heard the words ‘brother and sister’!
“Take Zhao Panpan’s children to Jiang Si. From now on, they will be raised by you. If anything happens to them, the Jiang family will bear all the responsibility.” The emperor looked at Jiang Si gloomily, and Jiang Si’s hair stood on end. The emperor already knew about his relationship with Zhao Panpan. However, due to his reputation, he did not reveal the details. Although Zhao Panpan’s words had given others some form of speculation, as long as the emperor did not speak, the people would not dare to speak blindly. Such immoral matters were not allowed to spread among the people.
“I’ll wait for my husband to return before entering the palace.” Jiang Xi looked at the emperor and said calmly.
The emperor broke out in a cold sweat, as if he had suddenly come back to his senses. “This…” The emperor stammered and did not know what to say. For the first time in his life, he felt guilty. Even the imperial preceptor looked up at the emperor and mourned silently in his heart. In order to behead the Zhao family and prevent Zhao Ruifeng from rebelling, the emperor sent people to remove Zhao Ruifeng. It was said that Zhao Ruifeng had a conflict with the person sent by the emperor to take over the military power. He probably knew what happened in Jing City. When Zhao Ruifeng left the camp, he was also injured…
“It seems that someone has set their eyes on General Zhao. No, it’s my son-in-law. Someone actually set a trap and took him away while he was injured. I sent people to chase after him for a long time, but they couldn’t catch up.” The emperor bit the bullet and said, not daring to meet Jiang Xi’s gaze. At that time, Zhao Ruifeng had fallen off the cliff in order to escape the pursuit of the soldiers. When the soldiers went down to look for him, they only saw a pool of blood and no one.
The imperial preceptor had some doubts in his heart. He and Zhao Ruifeng were old friends, so he naturally knew Zhao Ruifeng’s character. The saintess wanted to find the person who had heaven’s blight. He had wanted to bring Zhao Ruifeng there. His original plan was that Zhao Ruifeng would kill a few more fiancées and give up on him. Then, he would be able to marry the saintess Holy maiden at ease. However, Zhao Ruifeng’s luck suddenly improved and he met Jiang Xi. The imperial preceptor gave up on this idea and could not touch the person who was loved by heaven. Now, the imperial preceptor had a bad feeling that Zhao Ruifeng had been taken away by the saintess…
At this moment, Jiang Xi’s expression turned cold. The emperor felt even colder, as if someone was shoveling snow on his body… He seemed to have sought death…
Jiang Xi turned around and went down the city wall without saying a word. He walked toward the Zhao residence mansion, and the fiery phoenix followed behind him, swaying like a little follower. Zhao Yingying’s face was pale, and she pursed her lips. “Big brother will be fine, my sister-in-law… My sister-in-law is very powerful…” As she spoke, she quickly caught up with Jiang Xi.
When Jiang Xi returned to the Zhao residence, Concubine Fang hurriedly led her men to start the fire. Everything in the manor went on as usual. “Young Madam, please take a seat first. The meal is about to start. If there’s anything, we can discuss it after eating. General Zhao is a good man, and God will help him. For so many years, he has jinxed so many fiancés to death, but nothing has happened to him… Therefore, General Zhao’s life is tough.”
Jiang Xi glanced at her and nodded slightly.
“But you can’t eat and drink so much. The general has only been out for four months, and your clothes are tight. Look at your belly…” Concubine Lady Fang even stepped forward and patted Jiang Xi’s stomach. Then, the smile on her face froze. She looked at Jiang Xi in a daze, then touched his stomach again. Her face suddenly became serious. She straightened up, exhaled slightly, and immediately turned around and ordered, “Go and get the Imperial physician, immediately! Remember, don’t make it too public.”
Zhao Yingying looked at Concubine Fang, and an idea suddenly appeared in her mind. She was so shocked that she sucked in a breath of cold air. Zhao Yingying had long noticed it, and now that her idea had been confirmed, she felt a little sad. The Zhao family would finally not be without descendants.
Zhao Yingying stared blankly at Jiang Xi’s tight clothes, especially at her abdomen. ‘Your Majesty, you’ve really done a great job this time!’
Jiang Xi was being protected by the Zhao family. When the imperial physician arrived, he saw a row of women and servant girls standing outside the house. Zhao Hongwei was stopped outside.
