Why My Domineering Prince Regretted Filing for Divorce?

Chapter 1038 - 758: King Qin Is the Real Final Boss

"...!"These few words caused Yu Mingyue’s heart to sink.

To think about it, ever since she came to this world, although she has plotted against the Second Young Master Yu Wen, Prince Qin, countless times, she mostly faced off against Shang Ruyi, who shared a more similar status with her. Aside from the last incident with Lu Xiao, where a few words from Yu Wenye rendered her speechless, the two of them hadn’t truly confronted each other yet.

Because she was constantly entangled with Shang Ruyi, she almost forgot—Prince Qin is the real big boss!

However...

Yu Wenye had nearly fallen into her hands several times, hadn’t she already offended him?

She prided herself on knowing many key matters; this Prince Qin was also in Fufeng before, where he almost died in that plague. It was only because of his good luck that Shang Ruyi discovered her subordinate’s movements in advance, allowing him to survive.

Next time, she just needed to be more careful and not leave any traces...

At this thought, she sneered coldly in her heart and said lightly, "We have long been at daggers drawn; offending him is really of no consequence. Moreover, this time, it’s just a little palace maid who died, what else can he do over a palace maid?"

Yu Dingxing said, "A palace maid’s death may not affect him much, but through this little palace maid, you were targeting Princess Qin’s womb!"

"..."

Yu Mingyue furrowed her brows—this, how is it different?

She sneered, "So what? He can’t possibly march into our home with an army, right? If he truly dared to do so, let alone losing any chance to contend against the Crown Prince, you mentioned earlier, killing a palace maid could anger the Emperor, so if he dared to recklessly move against us, would Your Majesty easily forgive him?"

"..."

"In any case, I did that cleanly; he won’t find any excuse!"

Yu Dingxing said with a headache, "What I fear is exactly that there is no excuse!"

You see, for the court to convict, it needs evidence, needs an excuse, but if King Qin really decides to eliminate someone—he only needs to want it.

As he spoke, he walked over and sat in front of Yu Mingyue, advising earnestly, "Daughter, as your father, I know you’re brave, meticulous, and clever, but the affairs in the palace and the court are not always what you think—or how they’re depicted in the books you read. Before you act, can you discuss it with me first?"

Hearing the word "daughter," and recalling his past actions of abandoning his wife and daughter, Yu Mingyue couldn’t help but feel a wave of nausea.

But she forced herself to suppress that slight annoyance and said coldly, "I understand Father’s concerns, alright, from now on, I will inform you before I act."

"..."

"But this time the matter is already done, Father should not worry excessively. Besides, this time, let alone that the scandal at Qianqiu Palace will certainly disgust Your Majesty, his own backyard is on fire, how can he mind us here."

"Backyard on fire?"

"Exactly,"

Yu Mingyue sneered and said, "I had Aunt Hui place someone by the side of the Princess from the previous dynasty in Jinyu Garden so early precisely for today. How can Chu Ruoyan not vie for affection with Shang Ruyi when sharing a husband? Even if Shang Ruyi wasn’t really poisoned this time, with this incident, how could she still trust her?"

"..."

"Look this time, the snacks sent weren’t even eaten, wasn’t it because Shang Ruyi was wary of her?"

"..."

"I heard Aunt Hui say that Yu Wenye and that Princess from the previous dynasty grew up together and have a deep bond. If it is indeed so, this time if it is traced back to her, Yu Wenye will definitely protect her. As long as he speaks one word for Chu Ruoyan, Shang Ruyi will surely think that Prince Qin cherishes that woman, and she will only feel more infuriated."

Hearing this, Yu Dingxing frowned slightly.

Though Yu Mingyue’s thoughts were good, the development of matters also depends on the people involved, and he thought for a moment and shook his head, saying, "I perceive Princess Qin is not like that."

This Princess Qin’s temperament and tactics are incomparable to ordinary women.

Yu Mingyue said coldly, "I initially also thought she was not like that, but observing how moved she was by ’a couple for a lifetime’ that night, it seems she is only outwardly calm and magnanimous."

"..."

"In this world, women like to compete amongst themselves the most, and no matter how highly regarded Shang Ruyi is—she is just a woman who regards her husband as the sky."

"..."

"Women who like to compete enjoy taking it out on other women, especially when there is a woman right beside her sharing the same man with her, how can she not be targeted? If this incident makes the Emperor dislike Yu Wenye, Shang Ruyi will only feel more that it’s that woman of the previous dynasty’s status that has burdened Yu Wenye, making him have no chance with the Crown Prince; in this way, how can they not fight each other till they’re both utterly defeated?"
