244 A Pair of Twins
The Northern Border had experienced all kinds of storms and waves, but it definitely had not experienced the attack of a lunatic, right? Moreover, she was also a lunatic who dreamed of becoming an empress.
Guan Yi originally wanted to persuade Wu Tielong to go back with him, but seeing Wu Tielong’s refusal, he did not dare to say anything and could only retreat.
Wu Tielong’s face darkened. When he was forced to leave the palace, if it was not for the Northern Border’s people taking him in and planning step by step to get to where he was today, he would have died long ago. He had absolute confidence in the Northern Border. It was in his pocket.
Wu Tielong felt a little tired and leaned against the bed to rest. He did not expect to dream about the past…
“Nanny, I don’t have any more strength…” The former empress’ face was covered in sweat. The palace maid hurriedly placed a piece of ginseng in her mouth, and only then did she regain some strength.
“Your Majesty, you have two princes in your stomach. You have to think carefully. For the children, you have to use force! Hurry up! I can already see the end!” The nanny’s nose was covered in sweat. She was the former empress’ nanny and also the midwife. She was the former empress’ most trusted person.
“It’s coming out, it’s coming out, one more is coming out, there’s still one more, use more strength!” The nanny’s heart was filled with joy. The former empress only felt her lower body relax, and then she heard two cries.
“Empress, please take a look at the little prince.” The nanny put the wrapped children next to the former empress. At a glance, it turned out to be two children, one big and one small. The big one was white and tender, while the small one was a little thin and had a blueish body, but his eyes were very clear. The newborn children rarely opened their eyes.
“This is the first prince, right?” The former empress touched the fair, tender, and chubby child weakly.
The nanny’s movements paused. “Your Highness, ” she said, “This little one is the eldest prince. She pointed at the child who had closed his eyes and was resting quietly. “He came out first. The umbilical cord was wrapped around him. If it wasn’t for the timely birth, I’m afraid the child would have been gone. When this servant took him out just now, there was no vitality in his body. It took a long time for him to recover. With such a strong vitality, if he is well taken care of, he will be able to achieve great things.”
The nanny tried to persuade her, but the former empress’ face darkened. The palace maids outside the curtain all lowered their heads and waited. The former empress only trusted the nanny, so she only let her in. At this time, the former empress looked at the first prince, who looked weak, and her eyes became teary. “Nanny, he’s such a weak child, so how can he live to inherit the throne? Only one of the twins can live. If I miss this opportunity, there will be no other opportunity. There are so many concubines in the harem…” If anything were to happen to this thin and weak child, then the throne would be given to someone else.
The nanny’s hand trembled. It looked like the former empress was going to exchange their identities! This would mess up the throne… The nanny looked at the thin and small eldest prince with heartache and sighed softly. Then, she turned around and picked up the White and fat little prince, shouting, “The empress’s delivery went smoothly, the first prince is fine and weighs 5.6 pounds, and the little prince’s body is weak and weighs 3.9 pounds.” No one knew that one who weighed 3.9 pounds had already been destined to be the king. Who asked him to be Jiang Xi’s father?
In his dream, Wu Tielong watched everything coldly. He watched as the chubby and fair child who was supposed to be the younger prince became the crown prince. The empress pitied the thin and weak eldest prince after his fate was taken away, so she begged the emperor to hide him in the cold palace and not let him see anyone. The fate of the two children was changed just like that, and the personalities of the two children also went in opposite directions.
The crown prince was free and mischievous and did not like to study. The prince in the Cold Palace was calm and polite, which often made the nanny regret. Who would have thought that the child, who was so thin and weak in the past, would get better and better after staying in the Cold Palace for so long? The empress felt very guilty towards the prince in the cold palace. Later, in order to play, the crown prince often changed clothes and went out to play with his ‘younger brother’ in the Cold Palace. The prince in the Cold Palace had a good temper. Whenever the crown prince wanted to go out, he would change his identity with him at any time and place. The ‘younger brother’ would even take his place in class, which made the crown prince very happy. Later, one day, the ‘younger brother’ wore the crown prince’s clothes to the Cold Palace to find the crown prince and change them back. He was accidentally discovered by the emperor. The emperor was instantly enraged and scolded the ‘younger brother’ who was wearing the crown prince’s clothes. He then locked him up, while the ‘older brother’ was ordered by the emperor to leave the palace.
Before he left the palace, the prince from the cold palace cried, “Father, father, I am the crown prince, I am the crown prince! Father, I’m the crown prince, he’s not. He lied to you and even lied to me about my position as the crown prince!”
