My Wife is a Psychic

170 We’ll Be a Family Soon

Zhao Panpan’s face and ears turned red. She lowered her head and fidgeted with her clothes, “Mm, I’ve always listened to the empress.” Her voice was low, and an inexplicable light flashed in her eyes. A mature man was indeed much more charming than a young man like the crown prince.

“Take good care of this. With this, you’ll be able to get pregnant in less than three months. Don’t let anyone know about this.” The empress had taken out all her treasures. This was a forbidden book that contained all sorts of bed movements. With this, the crown prince would definitely be unable to stop himself from staying in Zhao Panpan’s room every day.

Zhao Panpan’s hand paused for a moment, but she still accepted it without hesitation and hid it in her sleeve, not showing it on her face.

“Don’t worry. You grew up with me and the emperor, and you are childhood sweethearts with the crown prince. In the future, who would dare to bully you? Not only does no one dare to bully you, no one dares to fight for your favor, and no one can compete with you.” The empress was very confident. How could Zhao Panpan, who she had personally taught, lose to anyone? “The emperor only has two sons. The crown prince has already grown up, and The young prince is weak and sickly. I don’t know how long he can live. Back then, I had to give birth to the crown prince to secure my position as the empress. You have to believe that in the royal family, nothing is more important than having children.” Only by giving birth to the royal bloodline as soon as possible could everything return to the right track. She had to set things right. If anything went wrong, she would be a sinner. The empress pressed her chest. Fortunately, everything was about to return to normal.

“Yes, rest assured, Your Majesty. Panpan will remember the teachings and will not disappoint you.” Zhao Panpan raised her head and looked at the empress with a serious expression. The empress smiled in relief, “That’s right. After you give birth to the child, this palace and this great country will all be yours.”

As she spoke, the empress’ gaze fell on the red mark on Zhao Panpan’s neck and reminded her, “Sometimes, extreme means must be used. Don’t be soft-hearted.”

Zhao Panpan replied in a low voice, “I’ll listen to the empress!”

The empress smiled in satisfaction as she caressed Zhao Panpan’s face. This child had grown up and looked nothing like the portrait, but she was still her daughter.

“The emperor has been treating Tong’er a little differently these few days. Don’t take it to heart, I will take care of her.” The empress said. Ever since Tong’er fell into the water, her personality had changed. Even the emperor was attracted to her. When Zhao Panpan heard this, she was overjoyed and quickly nodded her head.

“Alright, it’s getting late. You should go back. I have sheltered you from the wind and rain for so long. We are only one step away from being a family, so you must stay strong.” The empress bestowed many more things on Zhao Panpan before sending her back.

“Your Majesty, now you and Miss Panpan are a real family. You can be at ease.” The nanny sighed. This matter could finally have a happy ending.

The empress also revealed a smile. She had defeated so many concubines in the past to sit in this position, but it was not for the sake of exchanging royal blood.

The next morning, the girls who were participating in the palace selection were released. Each family sent people to guard the palace gates. The Zhao family did not send anyone because, according to the usual practice, the empress would send someone to bring Zhao Panpan back. The empress truly loved Zhao Panpan. She loved and doted on her at all times. Sometimes, even the crown prince could not help but be jealous. He was the Crown Prince, so the empress rarely carried him or comforted him when he was young. Even when he fell, the empress would calmly watch him stand up. When he was young, he secretly rode on the emperor’s horse and broke his leg, causing him to have a high fever. In his daze, he wanted his mother to hug him and comfort him, but his mother only told him to rest well. There was not a single word of comfort. The emperor’s education of the crown prince was very strict. With a strict father, there should be a loving mother. However, the empress was not the least bit affectionate to the crown prince, causing the emperor to always praise his mother for never pampering the crown prince. Every time his mother heard this, she would say that it was what she should do. However, in the crown prince’s heart, his mother should be gentle. Even if she was not that gentle, she should at least care about his well-being and not be so cold.

The crown prince suppressed the frustration in his heart. Seeing the empress send Zhao Panpan out of the palace as usual, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart. It seemed to be jealousy, but it also seemed to be sadness.
