Chapter 58 I Don’t Want Such Good Fortune 16
Not only was Empress Chu anxious, the Crown Prince was also tense.
He leaned forward, his eyes fixating on Mrs. Zhou.
Mrs. Zhou knew well that both Empress Chu and the Crown Prince held Princess Anning dear.
After all, by the time Empress Chu was pregnant with Princess Anning, the Crown Prince had already come to his senses and had always eagerly anticipated and adored this younger sister or brother.
As a result, while carrying the child, Empress Chu suffered numerous attempts on her life by Imperial Concubine Tian.
Had it not been for the great fortune of Princess Anning, mother and daughter might have long been harmed to death.
Afraid that Imperial Concubine Tian would not stop at anything, Empress Chu had her confidant leave with Anning immediately after giving birth.
Empress Chu then used a stillborn infant as a decoy, falsely proclaiming the princess had died upon birth.
The Crown Prince was aware of Empress Chu’s doings and was immensely angry and grieved for Princess Anning, but being too young, he was powerless to do anything.
Over the years, Empress Chu and the Crown Prince were deeply frustrated about Princess Anning’s situation, yearning for her, but dared not even mention it, leading truly bitter lives.
