Chapter 186 Don’t Ask If It’s a Disaster or a Fate

Fengyi Palace.

When Empress Sun learned that the Duke of Zhenguo had left the palace last night and went to Prince Ling's mansion, she was so angry that she smashed a vase.

It turned out that her worries were not unfounded.

The Duke of Zhenguo is going to abandon her and the Crown Prince and join Prince Ling.

"Mother."

When the prince saw the debris all over the floor, his heart tightened. He walked over and asked, "Why is mother so angry?"

Empress Sun looked up at her son, and suddenly a nameless anger surged in her heart.

She pointed at the prince's nose and scolded him, "This is all your fault. What's wrong with you being patient while things are not going well?

If you don't like Wen Ruqing, just marry her and keep her as a decoration. Why do you have to take the initiative and ruin this marriage?"

The prince was scolded so much that he didn't even dare to raise his head. He said, "My mother, don't you know that Shen Linchuan is a lunatic?

In order to become the son-in-law of the Duke of Zhenguo, he even killed his own sister.

Wen Ruqing is already Shen Linchuan's person. Do you want your son to be cuckolded and ridiculed by others every day?

Besides, Wen Ruqing didn’t want to marry me. She went on a hunger strike and threatened to die. I had no choice but to give her this idea.”

As he said this, he spat with some hatred: "It's all Song Shiwei's fault for ruining my son's good deeds.

If she hadn't stood up for Prince Ling, yesterday's events wouldn't have turned out like this."

When she heard him mention Song Shiwei, Empress Sun's eyebrows twitched.

She had heard before that Song Shiwei and Prince Ling were in cahoots with each other, and now it seemed that it was not groundless.

She snorted softly: "I was afraid that Prince Ling was invincible and had no weaknesses. Now that he has that, this matter will be easy to deal with."

The prince understood what she meant. If it really came to that, Song Shiwei would be the key to controlling Prince Ling.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard his mother say, "Duke Zhenguo went to see Prince Ling last night. I wonder what they talked about."

Upon hearing this, the prince's face suddenly changed. He lowered his voice and said, "Could it be that the Duke of Zhenguo wants to abandon his son and support Prince Ling?"

Empress Sun glared at him and said, "Then it's not your fault. You hurt his daughter so badly, how could he continue to support you without any grudges?"

She took a deep breath and said, "Wen Ruqing is infatuated with Prince Ling. The Duke of Zhenguo went to see Prince Ling because he wanted him to marry her daughter."

Empress Sun sneered, "If Prince Ling wanted to be the scapegoat, he wouldn't have rejected Wen Ruqing yesterday.

I just don’t know what conditions the Duke of Zhenguo proposed. Is Prince Ling tempted?

In order to avoid any further complications, our affairs cannot wait any longer. As for the Duke of Zhenguo..."

Her eyes were cold, and she said with a hint of chillness: "Since he is unkind, don't blame me for being unjust.

Go inform the Yongning Marquis and ask him to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet."

The prince was startled and said, "It's only a few days until the Mid-Autumn Festival. Isn't the time too rushed?"

Empress Sun raised her head and gave them a sinister look: "What great things can you achieve if you are hesitant and timid?

We have been planning for so many years, what are you afraid of? The worst that can happen is death, how can we know that we can't succeed if we don't take a gamble."

"Yes."

The prince responded, feeling slightly excited.

If his father had not favored Prince Ling over him as the crown prince, he would not have taken such a risk.

Now they are facing the rebellion of the Duke of Zhenguo, so they have to take this path even if they don’t want to!

……

The people of the capital did not wait for the wedding of the prince and Wen Ruqing, but instead waited for the news of the broken engagement.

Although the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion announced to the public that Wen Ruqing had contracted an acute illness and asked to cancel the engagement, the people knew exactly what was going on.

The Duke of Zhenguo was afraid that the rumors in the capital would hurt his daughter again, so he took Wen Ruqing and left the capital.

Soon the storm gradually subsided with the arrival of Mid-Autumn Festival.

That night.

His Majesty held a banquet in the palace.

Song Shiwei arrived early, and she sat with Qin Yueyao and chatted in private.

"I heard that your brother is choosing a husband for you. Is your eldest brother really not considering it?"

She heard this news from Xiao Jingheng.

Ever since she knew that Ye Xun'an was the prince of Bei Ming, Qin Muyan had been on guard day and night, fearing that her sister would be seduced away by someone.

That day in Qingfeng Tower, Song Shiwei also heard the conversation between the brother and sister.

Through her observations these days, it was not difficult to find that Ye Xun'an and Qin Yueyao were deliberately distancing themselves from each other. She just felt it was a pity.

After all, they are a perfect match.

In the past, Song Shiwei regretted that she didn't have a brother, otherwise she would have snatched Qin Yueyao to be her sister-in-law.

Now that he has a brother, there are countless difficulties and obstacles between them.

When mentioning Ye Xun'an, Qin Yueyao had an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Like Song Shiwei, she is a sober person and will not fall in love.

Finding her older brother has been her obsession for all these years, but she never expected that this older brother would be so handsome.

He is the best in terms of talent, knowledge, appearance and character. It would be a lie to say that I am not moved by him.

Qin Yueyao smiled bitterly: "My father and brother love me like the apple of their eye. If I really marry Bei Ming, won't they cry to death?"

Song Shiwei asked her: "What if I go to Beiming with you?"

Qin Yueyao's eyes lit up slightly, then disappeared again, and she asked, "Are you not going to marry the prince?

Even if you return to Bei Ming, won't you have to marry back to our Nan Li in the end?"

Song Shiwei shrugged and asked her, "Why do I have to marry to Nanli? Why can't Xiao Jingheng go to Beiming to be my consort?"

Qin Yueyao was stunned. Song Shiwei's words really shocked her. She had never thought about this question before.

Song Shiwei smiled and said: "If someone who loves you really wants to be with you, he will give up everything for you.

I feel like the problem between you and my brother isn't a problem at all.

If you really like him, don't give up. How do you know he won't give up the throne for you?"

Qin Yueyao blinked her eyes and said, "His Royal Highness Prince Ling can give up everything for you because he loves you deeply."

"Then you should try your best to make my brother fall deeply in love with you. Is this difficult for you?"

Song Shiwei smiled and glanced at Qin Yueyao, then pinched a dried fruit and stuffed it into her mouth and said, "Have you ever heard of this saying, when you do happy things with your lover, don't ask whether it is a disaster or a fate?

No matter what the outcome is, just get him first. Even if you really can't be together, you won't regret it when you think about it later, right?"

Qin Yueyao was stunned by what she heard. She chewed the dried fruit in her mouth subconsciously and said, "It seems to make sense."

Although she is famous for her talent, she is not as rebellious and reckless as Song Shiwei.

Words of praise such as "noble lady", "lady of a noble family", "dignified and virtuous" etc. are actually like an invisible shackle that binds these women in seclusion.

Maybe one day, this cage will be broken by Song Shiwei!
