218 The Secret of the Royal Family

Xiao Meili looked at Zhao Panpan’s face and said, “If the child in your stomach is a boy, it will definitely be serious trouble for the crown prince. At that time, the loss will outweigh the gain.” She was both angry and anxious. She did not expect Zhao Panpan’s stomach to be so strong. Indeed, it was different if she was not the child of the Zhao family!

Zhao Panpan smiled as if she did not understand what Xiao Meili meant. “Mother, didn’t you say you wanted to take revenge on the empress? I have a good idea, what do you think?” Zhao Panpan touched her stomach and said slowly, “The crown prince is the empress’ only son. His Majesty had no other sons to choose from, so he let the empress’ son become the crown prince. I have two princes in my stomach. If I teach them well, one of them will be able to pull the crown prince down. When that time comes, the empress will be in so much pain that she would wish she were dead. Mother, what do you think of this plan? ”

“Nonsense! No!” Before Zhao Panpan could finish her sentence, Xiao Meili sat up and pushed Zhao Panpan out of the room. The force was so strong that Zhao Panpan took a few steps back. If the maidservant had not brought her a stool to place behind her, she would have fallen to the ground!

“Panpan, my daughter, are you alright? Is your stomach hurt? ” Xiao Meili seemed to be shocked, and she tried to get up in a hurry.

Zhao Panpan’s heart turned cold. She pressed her hand against her thumping heart and made Xiao Meili lie down. “Don’t worry, mother. I’m fine. The child is doing very well.” Despite her words, Zhao Panpan refused to move forward and kept her distance from Xiao Meili.

“You child, I just don’t want you to be the crown prince’s enemy. The crown prince is already an adult, so how can you compete with him? You are mother’s good daughter. Mother only hopes that you can be safe and sound. The crown prince usually takes care of us, so why don’t you stay by the emperor’s side and help the crown prince take care of him? Why bother giving birth to a child of your own to ascend to the throne? ” Xiao Meili’s eyes were filled with impatience. Before entering the palace, Zhao Panpan had promised her that she would assist the crown prince well and incite the emperor to pass the throne to the crown prince as soon as possible. However, she had never thought that Zhao Panpan would get pregnant and snatch that supreme position!

“Mother, why would you rather help the crown prince than my children? Could it be that the crown prince is more important than my children?” Zhao Panpan was a little unhappy. She could feel that every time the crown prince came to the Zhao residence, her mother would be very happy, much happier than when she saw her.

“You’re pregnant with twins. How can your mother not love you? You shouldn’t have gotten pregnant with twins, and even the imperial preceptor predicted that they would be boys! Has His Majesty the Emperor been looking for you very rarely recently? That’s right, you can’t have this child!” Xiao Meili was spouting nonsense in an attempt to make Zhao Panpan give up on the idea of having the child.

Zhao Panpan frowned.

“Do you know the fate of having twin boys in the royal family?” Xiao Meili looked into the distance, her face pale.”You are still young so you don’t know about the secrets of the royal family, but do you know that His Majesty also had a twin?”

Zhao Panpan was shocked by his words.

Xiao Meili replied, “The late empress gave birth to two princes. The older one became the crown prince, and the younger one had to be disposed of.” The late empress was soft-hearted and refused to kill her own child. The late emperor was probably reluctant to do so, so he secretly raised the child in the cold palace and did not let him appear in front of others. However, at that time, His Majesty was still young and would often sneak out to see his younger brother. Because he was too playful and couldn’t complete the homework Grand Tutor Xue had left behind, he had his younger brother take his place in class. Later on, the two of them would often change clothes and exchange identities.”

Zhao Panpan froze on the spot.

“It’s fine if it’s an ordinary family, but can the crown prince’s identity be changed at will? Later on, the crown prince was discovered changing clothes in the cold palace. The other prince was sent out of the palace overnight and executed. After that, the emperor successfully ascended the throne. The emperor has suffered since he was young. Now that you are pregnant with twins, do you think you will have a good ending if you safely deliver two princes?” As Xiao Meili spoke, she pretended not to see Zhao Panpan’s trembling body. There was a faint smile on her lips, but when Zhao Panpan looked over, she quickly retracted her smile. Nothing strange could be seen.

When Zhao Panpan left the Zhao residence, she did not alert anyone. Her footsteps were flustered and a little disappointed. It seemed like she had to go back to the palace to verify Xiao Meili’s words.
