253 Afraid of Jiang Xi
Wu Tielong’s entire body felt as if tens of thousands of insects were tearing and biting him. He clenched his fists tightly, and his nails dug into his flesh. Half of his teeth were crushed. The hair on his head also started to fall off, revealing his bald head that was covered in blood.
“Ah!” Wu Tielong suppressed his voice and shouted, not letting any sound out.
The servant girls’ shrieks made Wu Tielong understand that his son and woman had all been killed! Which b*stard dared to interfere in his affairs?! If he found out, he would definitely tear him into pieces and die a terrible death!
At this moment, Concubine Mei’er was anxiously walking toward Wu Tielong. Wu Tielong was silently enduring in his room, tightly clenching his teeth and not letting out a single sound. Ever since he was disfigured and chased out of the palace, his heart had become extremely tough. Otherwise, he would not have been able to use his identity as a foreigner to sneak into the Northern Border’s imperial palace. He even had the imperial power in his hands. He was just a little bit away from becoming the Northern Border’s King, and the Northern Border’s old emperor was on the verge of death.
The door opened with a creak. Wu Tielong’s expression changed. Just as he was about to stand up, his knees went soft and he fell to the ground. His bones and tendons were all broken!
“Don’t move. Let me do it. You’re quite bold. How dare you come to the Zhao residence? What if Zhao Hongwei finds out?” Concubine Mei’er tried to lift Wu Tielong up with her big belly. When Wu Tielong saw it was her, his expression softened.
“Xiao Meili is already dead. Do you still want to stay in the Zhao Manor?” Concubine Mei’er seemed to be very close to Wu Tielong, which made Wu Tielong feel a lot more at ease. Hearing that Xiao Meili was already dead, Wu Tielong’s eyelashes trembled.
“The crown prince bled out of his seven apertures and died a horrible death. The emperor only had one son left and he had raised him with all his heart. Who knew that the crown prince was not the emperor’s child? The emperor is a pitiful man,” said Mei’er indifferently.
“The emperor is pitiful? He deserved to be pitiful! It’s a pity for the crown prince. He’s a good child.” Wu Tielong felt a sharp pain in his heart. Even if the crown prince knew of his identity, he did not disclose it, neither did he deny it. He did not run away either. The crown prince had already known that there was a problem with his identity some time ago. Otherwise, he would not have begged him to kill all those who had participated in this matter.
When Concubine Mei er heard Wu Tielong praising the crown prince, her soft little hands clenched tightly. She went forward and poured a cup of tea for him. However, Wu Tielong was lost in his thoughts as he held the cup and did not drink it for a long time.
“The crown prince’s feelings for our Young Madam is known to everyone in the residence. Now that Young Madam is in prison, I think the crown prince is also involved.” Concubine Mei’er’s smile was innocent, and her fairy-like appearance made people trust her very much.
Wu Tielong paused for a moment. He had followed Jiang Xi for a while and knew that Jiang Xi was different. The crown prince was definitely no match for Jiang Xi. He even felt that Jiang Xi was blind. Why was the crown prince not worthy of her? She did not want the crown prince, but wanted Zhao Ruifeng, that boorish man. However, he did not dare to say much because he had a deep-rooted fear of Jiang Xi. Jiang Xi gave off the impression that although she was not around, she still had her power.
“The Young Madam will definitely regret it. If she finds out about the crown prince’s identity, she will definitely regret it.” Wu Tielong was heartbroken, extremely heartbroken. That child, the crown prince… Wu Tielong had planned to inherit the throne of the Northern Border in the future and then give the Northern Border to the crown prince. In this way, the crown prince would be the king of two countries. The more he thought about it, the more pained Wu Tielong felt. He had almost succeeded!
Wu Tielong did not hear aunt Mei’er’s soft sigh. He seemed to have not discovered that aunt Mei’er loathed the crown prince.
“Do you have any other relatives in the Northern Border? You’re always here, will they miss you? Do you have a wife?” Mei’er sat down, her hands supporting her chin as she casually asked.
Wu Tielong’s entire body tensed up, “How did you know that I was from the Northern Border?.” He frowned and suddenly felt pain in his body. He quickly groaned, “Look at my brain. Since you came to save me, you must know me well. I’m from the Northern Border. I have wives and concubines there, but they’re just decorations. As for children, I’m not too sure.” Wu Tielong’s tone was light. He did not have a sense of belonging to the Northern Border. He could not even remember the faces of those women and even the children.
“They’re so pitiful,” said Concubine Mei ‘er with a smile.
“What’s there to pity about them? They’re just like grass. I’ve given them wealth and power, so it’s only right that they bear my children,” Wu Tielong said without a care.
