237 Two Fakes
The empress was acting a little strange. Ever since she had a falling out with Xiao Meili, she had changed. Sometimes, she would order people to burn yellow paper in the palace, and sometimes, she would run to Zhao Panpan’s palace and look at her anxiously. It made Zhao Panpan’s hair stand on end. At that moment, she felt her entire body tremble.
“Panpan, look at you. You’ve lost weight since you entered the palace. My heart aches when I see you like this. You said that Jiang Xi wanted to harm your child, so how about I help you get rid of her? How about we get rid of the Zhao family as well?” The empress looked at Zhao Panpan with a smile. Zhao Panpan was covered in a cold sweat.
Xiao Meili had already said that Zhao Panpan was not the empress’ biological daughter, but the empress seemed to have forgotten all about it.
“Tell me, what do you want to eat? I recently discovered a new kind of food, later I will have someone send it to you.” The empress looked at Zhao Panpan with a smile and even held her hand. Zhao Panpan’s entire body was trembling.
“And the child in your stomach…” The empress put on a fake smile, her whole person was frighteningly cold. Zhao Panpan quickly pushed her away. A few days ago, when the empress saw her bleeding, she nervously said that she would help her find out who had harmed the prince. A few days later, Jiang Xi was sent to prison. However, Zhao Panpan was not happy at all. The empress had gone crazy. Others might not be able to tell, but Zhao Panpan could tell that the empress’ memory had become muddled. No one knew what she would do.
“Many thanks to the Empress. I will take care of my body. There is no need for the empress to worry. The empress should rest well.” Zhao Panpan was far away from the empress. Now, whenever she saw the empress, she would panic.
“Panpan, I’ve let you down. You don’t know, but when you were young, I often touched my stomach and muttered to myself, thinking about what you would be like after you were born, whether you would be very cute, whether you would be very naughty when you grew up, whether you would be a good ruler in the future, whether you would be able to bear the responsibility of being the ruler of a country. I’ve let you down!” The empress murmured in a daze. For a moment, she remembered that she had given birth to a daughter and that she had grown up happily in the palace. The country had also become prosperous because of her. For a moment, she remembered that she had planned of exchanging her child and then replaced it with someone else’s son. Her daughter had frozen to death, and the fake daughter had entered the palace to fight with her for the emperor… No, no, no, that’s not right. Her daughter did not die. She definitely did not die …
The empress was in a daze, sometimes normal, sometimes dazed.
“No, you can’t give birth to this child. I’m doing this for your own good. You can’t give birth to this child!” Suddenly, the empress raised her head and glared at Zhao Panpan. Zhao Panpan was shocked and was about to take a step back when the empress lunged at her like a mad woman and grabbed her by the neck, “No, you can’t have this child! You can’t have this child! At this moment, the empress could no longer tell if Zhao Panpan was her daughter. She only remembered that the child in Zhao Panpan’s stomach could not be born!
The empress grabbed Zhao Panpan’s neck, pushed her to the ground, and kicked her in the stomach!
“Mother, stop!” The crown prince suddenly pushed open the palace door, his heart beating wildly. The palace maids behind him were also scared out of their wits. They rushed forward to separate the empress and Zhao Panpan.
Zhao Panpan’s face was pale, but she did not dare to get close to the crown prince. She could only hide behind a group of palace maids and shiver.
“Your Majesty, you want our Pure Consort’s life! Even if you don’t like her, you can’t harm an unborn child!” Qing Ping immediately burst into tears, and Zhao Panpan’s palace went into chaos.
The crown prince’s expression darkened. His mother had been acting abnormally recently. He had wanted to talk to his mother about Jiang Xi, but he had not expected to see his mother assault Zhao Panpan. “Mother, your son will help you back to the palace.”
“Get lost!” The empress’ eyes were red and she pushed the crown prince away. Her eyes were filled with disgust and hatred. The crown prince was stunned for a moment.
‘It’s all your fault, all your fault! The most pitiful one is my only daughter!’ The empress’ mind cleared up a bit. Whether it was her daughter marrying the emperor or her daughter being killed and replaced, she could not bear the pain. She was in a daze and deceiving herself, but she found that she could not accept either. Especially when the crown prince and Zhao Panpan were standing together, she wanted to kill these two imposters!
