Chapter 758: Chapter 758: In the vast world, all lands belong to the king Chapter 758: Chapter 758: In the vast world, all lands belong to the king “Snap!”
Prince Pu slammed down on the table beside him fiercely, “Look at you, Situ Yongjie, it’s simply too much. I gave my precious daughter to him in marriage, and if he’s not grateful, so be it, but to treat you , I will definitely not let him get away with it.”
Having said that, he stepped forward, intending to leave.
Princess Consort Pu grabbed hold of him, “Prince, where are you thinking of going?”
“To settle the score with that little bastard Situ Yongjie.”
“Have you lost your mind? He hasn’t even come to our door over the poisoning incident with our daughter, and you’re thinking of going rashly. Wouldn’t that be like delivering ourselves to him?”
Prince Pu then came to his senses. Indeed, now was not the time to seek retribution from Situ Yongjie. He stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at Lady Tang, “Daughter, answer me honestly, did you really have Doctor Wang poison Madam Xie?”
“I did this because Old Master is too biased. Qinger was born in the General’s Mansion and has never set foot in the Imperial Palace even once. Yet, that woman’s daughter, as soon as she returned, was able to attend the Empress Dowager’s birthday feast. On what basis? Our Qinger is so outstanding, so peerless in beauty, where is she inferior to her?”
Prince Pu and his wife exchanged a look, unable to believe Lady Tang would go so far as to poison Madam Xie over this matter.
“Daughter, you’re being foolish, to lose all sense of proportion over such a trivial matter. Isn’t it just entering the Imperial Palace? Another day, your father will take Qinger to broaden her horizons,” Prince Pu said dismissively. To others, the Imperial Palace may seem unattainable, but as a prince, it wasn’t difficult for him to make a visit if he wished.
“Going in with father is not the same as attending the Empress Dowager’s birthday feast. How can they be compared?”
“Either way, it’s entering the Imperial Palace, what’s the difference?”
“Of course, it’s different. Going with you, we can only see The Emperor alone, but attending the Empress Dowager’s birthday feast is different. At that time, so many dignitaries and princes will be present, and Qinger will have the chance to get to know them. It’ll be easier to find a good family to marry into, right?”
In the presence of Prince Pu and his wife, Lady Tang hid nothing of her real intentions.
Only then did Prince Pu and his wife understand Lady Tang’s painstaking efforts.
Situtu Qinger approached the bedside, her face full of sorrow, and said to Lady Tang, “Mother, you’ve been unconscious for several days, and many things have happened.”
As she spoke, her tears began to fall drop by drop.
Lady Tang felt a pang in her heart and asked hastily, “Qinger, what’s wrong?”
“Mother, while you were unconscious, the War Prince made a decree. As soon as you recover, he will send for me to go to the War Prince’s Mansion, and I don’t want to go.”
“Go to the War Prince’s Mansion for what?” Lady Tang still hadn’t grasped the situation.
“Waah…” Situtu Qinger could no longer hold back and burst into loud sobs.
Lady Tang: “Qinger, what’s wrong with you?”
Princess Consort Pu then recounted everything that had happened during her unconsciousness in great detail.
Only then did Lady Tang understand the whole story.
Indeed, after she woke up, the maid only told her about her own loss of power. She was so furious that no one dared tell her about the Second Miss, so Lady Tang was just hearing about the War Prince taking an interest in Qinger.
After thinking for a moment, Lady Tang said, “Qinger, actually, the War Prince isn’t too bad. Apart from being a bit ugly, he wields great power. If you become the Princess Consort of War Prince, your status would be extremely noble.”
Situtu Qinger: “I don’t want to, I don’t want to. Mother has taught Qinger since I was little that in this vast world, all the land is the king’s, I shall marry no one, or someone from the Royal Family if I do.”
“Originally, Mother thought the same. But since the War Prince has already spoken, is there not nothing we can do?”
“How can there be nothing we can do? Grandfather has agreed, he will go and ask The Emperor for a decree on my behalf in a few days.”
Upon hearing this, Lady Tang turned to Prince Pu and asked, “Father, is what Qinger says true?”
