Chapter 208 - 208 Twins

208 Twins

The silver-white lightning illuminated half of Jing City. The lightning was like a giant python, directly splitting the crooked tree in the Zhao residence! Under the tilted tree was where Xiao Meili lived. Xiao Meili, whose face was covered by a veil, was hit by the tilted tree. She wanted to dodge, but it was as if she was fixed in place. She could not even dodge.

After the loud noise, the entire Jing City seemed to be quiet for a moment. Was the Zhao family suffering again in broad daylight? Zhao Hongwei was drinking tea with the ladies in the restaurant. When he heard the servant’s report, his face turned pale. All he did was drink some wine and have a few more female friends. Why were the heavens so upset? This time, he had no other thoughts. He immediately left the girls and ran toward the Zhao residence.

Zhao Ruifeng’s heart also sank. He did not waste any words with the crown prince and immediately rushed toward the Zhao residence. He had not even reached home when a lightning bolt as thick as a water bucket floated into the palace and struck down the dragon head statue above the emperor’s study! Inside the room, Zhao Panpan’s face was deathly pale. She felt an overwhelming sense of malice coming at her. If it was not for the emperor’s True Dragon Protection in the room, she probably would not have been able to escape the fate of being smashed.

“Is this the heavens snoring? Why was there thunder on such a sunny day? This lightning is even targeting someone when it struck…”

“The earthquake only happened in the morning, and in the afternoon, it was already filled with lightning and thunder. Could it be that someone did something wrong? What could it be that could make the heavens so angry?”

This was not God’s anger, but Jiang Xi’s anger. God had to look after too many people. He could not take care of them all of them and could not serve justice, so she had to do it!

Not long after, the crown prince’s Eastern Palace was also struck by lightning. Without exception, all of them enjoyed the baptism of lightning and the palace burned down.

“It’s just a small punishment. Consider its interest.” Jiang Xi mumbled to herself as she entered the room, looking very relaxed.

“Quickly send this to the Pure Consort. Her Ladyship’s vomiting has been severe during this pregnancy period, and she wants to eat the sour bamboo shoots we made at home.” The maidservant hurriedly carried the jar out and handed it to the palace maid waiting at the door. The palace maid had always been with Zhao Panpan.

“When the Pure Consort gives birth to a prince, the mother will be elevated by the son in the future. The empress will suffer in the future for bullying Madam Xiao.” The maidservant handed the jar to a palace maid waiting outside and then returned to the manor to talk to someone in a low voice. It was likely that Zhao Panpan’s pregnancy would be revealed soon. It was not even three months yet, and the fetus was unstable. Zhao Panpan vomited badly, and the emperor was afraid that something would go wrong, so he had not announced it.

Zhao Ruifeng also knew a little about this, and he even knew more than others. He said to Jiang Xi as they walked, “The empress fell out with Xiao Meili, and Zhao Panpan’s life in the palace wasn’t too good either. But because she was pregnant, His Majesty protected her, and even…” Zhao Ruifeng paused. It was not a good thing for Zhao Panpan to be pregnant before she entered the palace, but the emperor valued heirs, so no one knew that Zhao Panpan was pregnant before she entered the palace. Although it was said to the public that she had just gotten pregnant, in reality, it had been almost three months. Even if there was a month difference, it would not be obvious.

“An imperial physician has diagnosed that Zhao Panpan might be pregnant with twins.” Zhao Ruifeng’s expression was a little strange. If it was something else, it would be fine. However, if she was pregnant with twins, and the imperial preceptor diagnosed it as a boy… It meant that it would be twin boys …

Before Jiang Xi could ask any more questions, they arrived at the Zhao residence where the lightning had struck. There was a huge pit in Xiao Meili’s courtyard, and black smoke was still rising from the pit. The crooked tree that two people could barely hold on to had been struck by lightning, and it had been burned black. Half of Xiao Meili’s house had also been burned down.

Zhao Hongwei’s face was filled with guilt. Did he really play with too many women? But he truly loved those women!

“How is the Madam?” Zhao Hongwei’s expression was ugly. The last time Xiao Meili came out of the palace, there were rumors that she had fought with the empress. This made him feel very embarrassed.

“Madam’s right leg and right hand are broken.” The maidservant was also very surprised. How could there be people who fell in the same way?

It was as if God was saying, “Xiao Meili used this hand to pinch my Jiang Xi and this leg to kick my lovely Jiang Xi!”

With so many major events happening in Jing City, the students were all worried. In the past, the warnings from the heavens had always been related to the imperial family, not to mention that they had been warned several times.
