Chapter 899 - 901 Helen Xue’s Resentment (5)
Hearing Helen Xue’s sorrowful cries, Nangong Shi turned his head irritably, his eyes reddened as he roared. From the moment he kicked Helen Xue’s child away, the facade of love between the two had been torn down, and they no longer needed to pretend, revealing their truest selves instead.
Heartbroken, Helen Xue dared not cry any further. She wiped her tears, lowered her head, and bit her lips to keep herself from sobbing audibly, yet deep inside, she loathed the man who had killed her child and ruined her life.
"Summon someone, prepare the carriage for me, I must go to the palace to see the Imperial Father!"
Nangong Shi shouted loudly, preparing to enter the palace for an audience.
Helen Xue knew his visit to the palace at this time would enrage the Emperor, but she did not try to stop him. First, because she couldn’t, and any attempt would only bring on a beating and scolding; secondly, she harbored such resentment against Nangong Shi that she would rather see him blamed and punished by the Emperor.
After all, she was a princess of the Xianbei. Even if Nangong Shi was demoted, imprisoned, or exiled, the Emperor would not harm her. She could request a divorce and then return to the Xianbei to remarry to a kindred spirit, a preferable option to spending a life with this bleak-futured, vicious-tempered cripple!
Nangong Shi stormed off in a huff, and Helen Xue gave a cold smile. She lifted her chin and headed back to her own room to rest. As soon as she returned to her courtyard, her chief palace maid, Hua Ying, approached her quietly and whispered, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess, a letter has arrived from the front yard. It says the Red Cotton Girl by the Prince’s side has been eight days without her monthly bleeding. What should we do?"
"Do I still need to instruct you? The old method—handle it as you know how."
Expressionless, Helen Xue’s slender hand subconsciously caressed her stomach. "Nangong Shi, you mercilessly killed my child, so I will make sure that all your children accompany mine in death. As long as Helen Xue exists, do not expect to father any children—prepare for your dynasty to end with you, hahaha..."
