Chapter 185 The mystery of life experience
Ruan Feiyin's face was full of tears. She stepped forward and pulled Jun Yaotian's sleeve, calling out pitifully, "Prince..."
Jun Yaotian sneered, pinched her chin without emotion, and said in a cold voice: "Come, send Miss Ruan back to the Ruan Mansion."
Ruan Feiyin cried out in panic: "Ah, no, don't send Yin'er away. Yin'er is already the Crown Prince's person. Please don't abandon Yin'er..."
Jun Yaotian's face was full of contempt. He pushed her away, took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, showing his disgust.
Ruan Feiyin fell to the ground and cried, "Your Highness, Shangguan Ziling drugged us. Yin'er begs you, please don't treat Yin'er like this."
Someone immediately came in and pulled Ruan Feiyin out, and Ruan Feiyin cried loudly.
Jun Yaotian ignored Ruan Feiyin's crying and pleading, came to Shangguan Jiaoyun and kicked her, causing Shangguan Jiaoyun to groan.
Jun Yaotian looked coldly at Shangguan Jiaoyun lying on the ground and said: "This prince will give you a chance to live."
Shangguan Jiaoyun looked at Jun Yaotian with fear in her eyes.
Jun Yaotian said: "This prince wants you to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. This prince will give you a bottle of poison. Find a way to make Shangguan Ziling eat it. If you do well, this prince will let you be his concubine in the East Palace. If you don't do well, then..."
Shangguan Jiaoyun said in a fragile voice: "Your Highness, I hate Shangguan Ziling too. I will definitely do my best."
Jun Yaotian nodded with satisfaction and said: "Help her down, treat her injuries, and send her out of the palace in two days."
"Yes," the palace maid beside her responded quickly and helped Shangguan Jiaoyun out.
When Jun Yaotian thought about what happened on the cruise ship, he was furious. He sat at the table without saying a word and asked someone to bring some wine. He waved his hand, signaling the eunuch to leave, then took a jar of wine from the side and took a big gulp.
The wine flowed down the corners of his mouth and dripped onto his exquisite robe.
His eyes were empty, the wine in the jar was getting less and less, and his mood seemed to be gradually relaxing as the alcohol level increased.
Jun Yaotian took another sip of wine, and this time he closed his eyes. Finally, he drank all the wine in the jar. He put down the jar and lay on the table in a daze.
At the moment he fell, a sense of inexplicable sadness surged in his heart, but it was quickly overwhelmed by fatigue and drunkenness.
The Queen walked into the East Palace, her eyes swept across the messy wine jars on the ground, her brows furrowed.
Prince Jun Yaotian was lying on the table, looking drunk, with a faint aroma of wine on his breath.
The queen was filled with worry and anger. She walked over and called softly, "Yaotian."
Jun Yaotian slowly opened his eyes and saw his mother. He called out in a hoarse voice, "Mother."
Seeing him like this, the queen was furious. She slapped Jun Yaotian hard on the face and angrily said, "The emperor hasn't abolished your position as crown prince yet, and you are so depressed? Cheer up for me!"
Jun Yaotian was dizzy after being slapped by the Queen. He covered his face with his hands, and a trace of shock and grievance flashed in his eyes.
The queen was even more distressed to see him like this, but she knew she had to be tough at this moment, so she continued, "My mother has asked your uncle to suppress the rumors. If you continue to be so decadent, how can you shoulder the responsibility of ruling the country?"
Jun Yaotian was shocked when he heard this. He struggled to sit up and said dejectedly, "Mother, without the emperor's approval, I can't even leave the East Palace. Is the emperor going to give up on me?"
Seeing Jun Yaotian like this, the Queen felt a pain in her heart. She walked to the bedside and sat down, gently holding Jun Yaotian's hand, and said softly: "Yaotian, don't worry, wait a few days until your father's anger subsides, and your mother will go to plead for you. Envoys from various countries have come to our Dongyue Dynasty, and your father will not continue to confine you."
When Jun Yaotian listened to his mother's words, a light flashed in his eyes, and then he became vicious again. He gritted his teeth and said, "Really, mother, I want Shangguan Ziling to die."
The Queen also had a gloomy look on her face and said, "Mother will not let Shangguan Ziling go."
……
Shangguan Ziling sat upright in her boudoir, holding an exquisite dowry list in her hand, with a faint smile on her face.
Xia Yu stood aside, looking at Shangguan Ziling's leisurely appearance, and couldn't help but say: "Miss, the master really loves you and has prepared so much dowry for you."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Ziling raised her head, looked at Xia Yu, and said with a smile: "Daddy loves me, I know."
Shangguan Dong walked in happily, "Zi Ling."
"Daddy"
Shangguan Dong touched her head and said, "Daddy knows that you can't stay in the mansion, so he won't restrain you anymore. But don't cause trouble when you go out. Recently, many countries have sent envoys to the Dongyue Dynasty to attend your wedding with the Regent. Don't let people laugh at you."
Shangguan Ziling nodded obediently.
Shangguan Dong walked into the house and his eyes fell on his daughter Shangguan Ziling. Her face was so similar to his late wife that he couldn't help but feel emotional. He walked to his daughter, looked deep in his eyes, and said in a complicated tone: "Ziling, look at what's missing from the dowry? Your mother passed away early. If she were still alive and knew you were getting married, she would definitely prepare everything for you."
Shangguan Ziling felt sad after hearing this. She knew how much her father missed her mother. She looked up at her father and whispered, "Dad, where is my mother's family? I have never heard of her maternal family."
After hearing this, Shangguan Dong fell into memories. He looked out the window, as if he had returned to the moment when he met his deceased wife.
He said, "When I met your mother, she was alone, with a sprained ankle, sitting by the roadside. I saw that she was a woman, and fearing that she might be in danger, I brought her back. Your mother told me that she had a conflict with her family, and was forced to marry someone she didn't like, so she ran away.
Later, my father developed feelings for your mother. After we got married, my father also suggested going back to visit her parents' home, but your mother always refused with various excuses.
Later, when your brother was born, your mother used the excuse that your brother was too young and the journey was too long. After so many years, I still don’t know where your mother’s family is. I only know that it is very far away.”
Shangguan Ziling was filled with doubts and curiosity after hearing this. She had never thought that her mother's life experience was so mysterious. She looked at her father and asked, "Dad, have you ever thought about looking for my mother's family?"
Shangguan Dong was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I have tried many times to find your mother's family, but there is no clue. Your mother seems to have deliberately concealed her past and didn't want anyone to know about it. I respect your mother's wishes, so I didn't continue to look for her."
Shangguan Ziling was silent after hearing this, but her heart was filled with curiosity and longing for her mother. She decided to work hard to find clues about her mother in the future to uncover the mystery of her mother's life experience.
