230 We Can’t Keep the Child

“During this period of time, you shouldn’t come into contact with outsiders. Zheng Shan’er has dabbled in those unorthodox ways. This morning, a little palace maid was hung in the palace, and Zheng Shan’er saw through some tricks …” The emperor did not avoid them. In front of Jiang Xi and the others, he said, “Zheng Shan’er said that there’s a way to change one’s fate in the world. As long as one is born in the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and dies in the land of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth at a specific time, one’s fate can be changed. One will need two pairs of boys and girls for this. You’re carrying two boys, so you can’t make any mistakes.” What the emperor did not say was that a drop of blood was taken from the prince who died yesterday and the palace maid this morning. As long as five drops of blood were gathered, they could change their fate. However, there seemed to be a difference in this, and Zheng Shan’er did not understand it for the time being.

Zhao Panpan’s face turned pale and she could feel her stomach twitching. She became even more nervous and her hands turned white as she clutched her stomach.

Zhao Shanshan’s heart suddenly softened, and she was a little worried about her sister’s situation.

Jiang Xi looked up at Zhao Shanshan and felt that her vitality seemed to have changed, but she could not see it clearly. After the three of them left the palace, Zhao Yingying sat in the carriage and said with a pale face, “Sister-in-law, Zhao Panpan can’t give birth to the child.” In her past life, Zhao Panpan married the crown prince. The crown prince cared for her wholeheartedly and did not blame her even if she gave birth to a freak. Now, the Zhao family still existed, and her brother and sister-in-law were living well. Zhao Panpan married the emperor. If Zhao Panpan gave birth to a pair of freaks, the Zhao family would be implicated. Moreover, with Zhao Panpan’s personality, if she did not get anything good, she would drag others down with her.

Zhao Yingying became more and more worried.

…

Recently, the imperial preceptor had been appearing and disappearing unpredictably. He did not even appear as a priest. He was replaced by someone else. It was said that the imperial preceptor was not actually from their country. When he first walked here, he felt that the luck here was rich and there was the aura of the origin, so he stayed. However, in the past ten years, the aura of the origin seemed to have disappeared. No one knew why the imperial preceptor loved this country, even if he was not from any of the surrounding countries.

Recently, Jing City had been a little tense. Lord Zhang’s newborn daughter was burned to death with her mouth and nose covered yesterday. It was said that when the nanny woke up, the girl had been burned so badly that she could be recognized. When Lord Zhang’s wife heard the news, she committed suicide by jumping into the well that night. How could a woman who had just become a mother bear the pain of losing her daughter?

Recently, there were rumors in Jing City that this was a technique to steal luck! As soon as this statement came out, there were people who were not afraid of death and pointed the contradiction at the Zhao family.

“Nonsense! My big brother’s luck turned for the better because he was protected by his sister-in-law! It was not because of those crooked ways! It’s enough for my brother to have my sister-in-law! I’ll tear their mouths apart if they dare to talk nonsense again!” Zhao Yingying was so angry that she smashed the teacup, and her eyes were red.

A few days after leaving the palace, this rumor spread quickly. At first, only the people in the palace knew about it. When the emperor said it, they were probably the first group of people to know about it. Who knew that in the blink of an eye, the spearhead was pointed at them?

“Someone must have framed my big brother.” Zhao Yingying’s first suspect was Zhao Panpan. She hurriedly went to find Jiang Xi. When she saw the calm expression on Jiang Xi’s face, the anxiety in her heart dissipated a little.

“Why are you so impatient? If your brother sees this, he’ll laugh at you for not being able to get married.” Jiang Xi smiled and beckoned to Zhao Yingying. Zhao Yingying had been overly worried at a young age, but now she seemed to be more lively. She still had to go and see Prince Ding when she had the time.

Zhao Yingying’s tears were about to fall. In her previous life, these people had targeted her big brother in this way. Now that she was about to walk the same path as in her previous life, Zhao Yingying was very frightened.

“Don’t worry, your big brother is now guarding the border. Who would dare to disturb him? If we let the Northern Border take advantage of this, then I’m afraid that the person who disturbed your big brother will become a sinner.” Jiang Xi was very calm. Dark clouds had been gathering above the Zhao residence these days. Someone must be up to no good.

Zhao Yingying’s mouth moved, and her forehead was covered in a cold sweat. ‘My dear sister-in-law, I’m not worried about my big brother, but I’m worried about you!’ Those people would not dare to touch her brother, but they would definitely vent their anger on her sister-in-law!

“Young Madam, Miss Yingying, Madam Xiao wants you to go to the front hall.” Hong Shan walked over quickly, her face a little solemn.
