Chapter 248 - 248 My Princess
“If it wasn’t for this, how long were you planning to hide it from me? So that this fake can inherit the throne and get the country?” The emperor was so angry that he was about to go crazy. His little prince had been kidnapped and the crown prince was a fake. Now, he did not even have a successor to the throne!
“Where is the princess? Then what about my little princess? And whose family does this fake crown prince belong to?” Suddenly, the emperor thought of the princess who had been abandoned by the empress.
When the empress heard the word ‘princess’, she immediately broke down and looked at the emperor in despair. “The crown prince is Xiao Meili’s son. He is Xiao Meili’s son.”
!!
The empress covered her face and cried, “My princess! My daughter! My daughter!” The empress cried out in a shrill voice. She stood up and charged towards the pillar outside the door. The emperor’s eyelids twitched. Before he could stop her, he saw the empress’s head hit the pillar, and blood splattered everywhere.
The palace maids and imperial physicians outside trembled, and the imperial physician even scrambled toward the empress. “Your Majesty the Empress…” However, the emperor could not hear anything. He only remembered the empress’ words. The crown prince was Xiao Meili’s son, and his little princess had been exchanged with Xiao Meili’s child…
With a thud, the emperor knelt on the ground. Ancestors, he was finished!
The empress had gone mad, she had really gone mad. She slammed her head on the pillar outside the crown prince’s palace. Her head was covered in blood, but because she had not eaten for many days, she did not have enough strength too kill herself. However, she had really gone mad. She called out to everyone she saw her daughter. “Daughter, have you come back to find mother?” The emperor locked the empress in the cold palace and did not allow anyone to visit her. Anyone who resisted would be beheaded! After that, he killed all the people who had helped the empress deliver her babies many years ago, leaving no one alive!
After doing all this, the emperor went to the temple hall alone. The emperor was dressed in a dragon robe, and his face was full of stubble. It was as if he had aged a lot overnight, and even white hair had appeared on his head.
“No one is allowed to appear near the temple hall. Anyone who violates this will be executed on the spot!” The emperor’s face darkened, and the people around him quickly responded. The emperor had been in a bad mood for the past two days, and the number of people in the palace was rapidly decreasing. At this time, no one dared to anger the Emperor.
The emperor knelt in the temple hall and looked at the memorial tablets of his ancestors. He did not dare to move. “Your son has let down all of your ancestors and was almost blinded by others to change the ruler of the country. Your son is a sinner of the country!”
The emperor said in a deep voice. He looked at the memorial tablets of the ancestors and kowtowed. The memorial tablet above seemed to shake. The emperor continued, “Putting the country in danger is your son’s first crime. The second crime was that he had lost his daughter outside the palace for many years, causing the royal family’s descendants to suffer and angering the heavens. The third crime is…” The emperor paused, his expression was very unsightly, and there was a bit of forbearance. “The empress said that the princess was exchanged with Xiao Meili’s child. Now, the Zhao family only has one daughter who is about the same age as the princess, and she grew up in happiness town…” The more the emperor spoke, the more panicked he became, “That child… She probably entered the palace seven months ago… Zhao Panpan…”
The emperor’s expression darkened and his body was trembling. Even his voice was trembling. The person who seduced him in the imperial study was actually his daughter! The emperor was in a bad mood!
“I have let down my ancestors, let down the country! I’ve shamed the country, I’m ashamed!” The emperor’s sorrow rose from the depths of his heart, and his tears fell. The emperor’s tears fell, and they had not seen each other for many years.
With a ‘bang’ sound, the previous empress’ memorial tablet fell down and hit the emperor’s head, causing the emperor’s mournful cries to stop.
“Bang!” A few more memorial tablets fell down and broke into two pieces in front of the emperor.
“My ancestors are quite temperamental. I know I’m guilty and will try my best to make up for it. My ancestors…” The emperor retreated as he spoke. Before he could finish, there was a clang and the ancestral tablets fell down one after another. The emperor was so frightened that his mind trembled. He quickly ran away as if there was a ghost chasing after him.
It was as if the ancestors were saying, “Why can’t I smash you, this blind junior?! Be careful, your daughter might kill you! You even slept with your own daughter?!” If it was not for the fact that the coffin lid was tightly closed, they would have jumped up and beaten the emperor to death themselves!
