The Great Queen Mau Lewat
Chapter 385 Side story (A Fei the princess of Jin)
" His Majesty... His majesty... " Xiquan's call made Li Chenlan's daydream instantly crumble.
The man gasped, surprised by the thought that had just crossed his head. Never could he imagine himself having the thought of killing xiquan.
The man looked at the woman who was struggling spoiled at him with mixed feelings.
" What started you going again? " Task Xiquan as Li Chenlan suddenly stood up.
" There's still a lot of things I have to do. " The answer is indifferent.
" Can't you stay here tonight. You haven't visited for two days. Is it because I lost our son, making you reluctant to be here? if it wasn't for the crown princess, our son wouldn't have.."
" enough! " Li Chenlan turned his head, "Stop blaming others. You should know very well why you miscarried. I am not a good man, but I hate even cruel women who can kill their own flesh and blood. "
" A-what do you mean, Your Majesty. " Xiquan's face was pale-fruited.
" Stop pretending Xiquan. I know, you yourself added that bully drug to A Fei's food. Then trap his servant so that everyone thinks that the crown princess gave him the order to do that. But you seem to have forgotten, that this is my palace, where the walls are even my eyes and ears. "
The woman is now completely pale. His face pias did not expect that Li Chenlan would know the scheme.
" You disappointed me. " Siss Li Chenlan.
" If you're disappointed, then why don't you tell His Majesty the truth. Ah, of course because it's useless. "
Li Chenlan vented her anger throwing an urn nearby. Instantly the innocent thing was smashed into pieces.
" AKHH." cried Xuqian surprised and afraid.
" And because of this stupid act of yours, all my plans were ruined. Do you know that? " Squeak Li Chenlan vented her anger.
" Damn it! " After being satisfied with the rampage, Li Chenlan left just like that leaving a crying Xuqian sobbing.
On the other hand, the situation was no different for A Fei as well. The news of Xiao San's passing became bad news for him. It was as if a heavy object had just hit him.
All the work he has done has turned out to be in vain. Until the end of his breath, A Fei had not even been able to meet him.
In front of Xiao San's body, A Fei cried out in astonishment. The servant who had been with him since childhood was now lying lifeless in front of him, the worst of which was his entire body covered in torture wounds. It was clear that the officers had tortured him cruelly.
There was a flash of hatred in A Fei's eyes. He promised to pay for everything. But before that, he had to finish everything first.
Removing his tears, A Fei got up and left Xiao San's body to Xiao Er and immediately stepped away.
" I want to meet the crown prince. "
" I'm sorry Crown Princess, but Your Majesty is not in place. " Answer replied one of the guards.
" Where is he? "
" What are you looking for me for? " Sela Li Chenlan suddenly. A Fei turned his head and found her husband had just come.
" Let's talk. "
The two entered Li Chenlan's study, there was no conversation between them even though they had not met for more than two days. There was only silence until A Fei finally started talking.
" Let's get divorced. " A Fei immediately expressed the intention of his arrival.
Li Chenlan's hand that was lifting the teapot came to a halt as if A Fei's speech was a pause button that stopped the entire movement.
Previously he had told the King and this matter had received his approval. It is rare for the royal family to divorce. But it's also not something that's forbidden.
" There will be no divorce. " Push Li Chenlan without looking at A Fei, put down the teapot and push the cup he had already filled in front of A Fei.
" why? is it because you can't use me anymore. I know you only used me and Fu xiquan to stabilize your position when you became king. I also know, you only used Xiquan to bind the prime minister. You also used the power of the Jin Empire to suppress the Prime Minister. You're a manipulative man. "
Li Chenlan who had not seen A Fei looked up and looked at the woman in front of him with a surprised expression.
" Not to be surprised. I also know that you were deliberately cold with me and paid more attention to Xuqian solely to keep me safe and I appreciate that. That's why all this time I've been quiet and stupid even though people think that you love your concubine more. "
" But unfortunately you forget that one's greedy nature and ambition are capable of pushing people to do things beyond their limits. Including eliminating the flesh's own blood in order to achieve their goals. "
" I told you before, that if anything happens to Xiao San, I will also act out of bounds. So let's get divorced. By divorce I will not be bound by the Kingdom of Wei. "
' At least I can secretly kill the prime minister. Without fear of offending the laws of the kingdom of wei. ' Of course, this sentence was not said out loud.
Li Chenlan knew what A Fei would do. He did not want to hinder the woman, but his heart was so heavy if he had to let it go.
The relationship that started the revenge slowly changed. Their indifferent attitude and quarrels either since when exactly gave a different color in Li Chenlan's life.
The word divorce seemed to turn into a heavy wedge hanging on his chest that made it difficult to breathe.
" I'll think about it. Please give me some time. "
A Fei looked at the astonished man who was still her husband status. He felt something strange. Even so, A Fei chose to ignore him.
" all right. I'll give you two days. "
A Fei came out without turning to Li Chenlan, it made the man's heart even more congested.
" What's wrong with me exactly? is it because I will lose all the benefits of the Jin Empire because of that my feelings become uncomfortable. " Monologist Li Chenlan while patting his chest that felt tight.
Two days passed very slowly. Both Li Chenlan and A Fei were busy with their respective affairs.
Xiquan's miscarriage case is also thought to be over with Xiao San's death. The poor girl had to die without getting justice.
If asked, what is A Fei's greatest regret, then he will answer to be the Crown Princess who does not have the strength even just to protect his servants he can not.
Although legally the highest power is in the hands of the king, but the figure of the king wei who came suddenly could not suppress the power of the prime minister who had been patronized with many tentacles.
" Dad, can I give up now.. " A Fei muttered in the middle of her daydream.
********
" Is it really that hard to go against Prime Minister Fu? if it continues like this, I'm afraid the king of wei will be even more desperate. Wouldn't the fate of our daughter be difficult, too. " Ziyan asked worriedly.
Political conflict is different from war. If war could be easily resolved by killing the enemy. But not with politics, money and power in control.
Prime Minister Fu had great wealth because most of the economy of the Kingdom of Wei was supported by the business of the Fu family.
The marriage of Sama Fei and crown prince Wei was decided apart from A Fei liking Li Chenlan, but also to help Yan suppress prime minister Fu. Unfortunately, that's still not enough.
" A Fei has spoken to King Wei and he has allowed our daughter's divorce. It seemed that Xiao San's death was quite a heavy blow to him. "
Ziyan and Sima rui understood. His daughter grew up without knowing the cruelty of palace life. One might think mentally he is weak, but to his parents, A Fei is not weak, he is just too soft-hearted especially when it comes to those closest to him.
" You're right. I'm sure our daughter has learned a lot from this. Then ask A Feng to pick her up. I'm afraid, prime minister Fu might do something to A Fei. "
Sima rui nodded at his wife's request. Soon he sent a letter to his second son who was at the border.
A Fei and Li Chenlan's divorce finally happened. The crown prince did not want this divorce, but his father kept pressing and there was no choice for him to refuse.
The marriage relationship that has only lasted less than four months should run aground easily. Maybe from the beginning, A Fei did not want this marriage, I don't know if he himself did not understand the way he thought.
A Fei probably thought that this was the end of his relationship with Li Chenlan, but unfortunately this was the beginning of Li Chenlan's destruction.
A Fei returned to the Jin Empire after his brother, A Feng came to pick him up.
After A Fei's departure, Li Chenlan's days changed. His life felt empty as if something was missing. He secretly visited the crown princess's palace to stay for a while and then returned to the crown prince's palace.
The prime minister continued to urge King Wei to appoint his daughter as crown princess, but that was met with resistance from Li Chenlan. He never visited Xiquan again. Slowly, the concubine's palace turned into a cold palace.
Several times, Xiquan tried to invite and do some tricks to make Li Chenlan come, unfortunately all the hard work was ignored by the man.
The crown prince of Wei sent a letter to A Fei several times. But not a single letter was answered by him.
A Fei asked Ziyan,
" Mom, why do my feelings for crown prince Wei not last long? it is so volatile especially after knowing the error. "
Ziyan just smiled. " That's because you don't really love her. Later you will understand what true love is after finding the person you truly love. "
That was why A Fei really wanted to end the relationship with Li Chenlan.
But the opposite, the man A Fei wanted to throw away wanted to chase him back. Li Chenlan only realized her feelings after the woman left. And he was determined to make her his wife again.
********
" A Fei, did you hear my words. " Xuxiang's voice retracted A Fei's consciousness that had been withering away in the past. She married and became the crown princess of Wei. Maybe because of the influence of recent events, making him re-remember the past.
" I'm sorry brother-in-law, I didn't hear it you could repeat. "
Since A Guang's death, A Fei has looked more dreamy. The girl was not as happy as before.
Xu xiang walked over and sat down beside the sister-in-law. " Don't keep daydreaming. Your brother would be sad if you were like this. You can be sad, but don't go on for long. "
" Sister-in-law, don't you still cry a lot? "
Xu xiang probably cried silently and thought that no one else knew. But it turns out the assumption was wrong.
The woman who was his sister-in-law smiled bitterly. His eyes even returned to tears. " Sometimes talking is much easier than doing it. I may have told everyone to try to recant, but in reality I myself am still very difficult to accept his death. "
" However, after recalling the existence of this child, the feeling of sadness will slowly fade away. Thinking that A Guang at least did not leave me alone. He still cares about me so he left this kid in my stomach. "
" This boy is everything to me, he is my life. " Xu xiang smiled warmly at his stomach which still looked flat.
A Fei could see the happiness on Xu xiang's face. Although the trace of sadness is still very clear, but not as much as his happiness when discussing the child in his stomach.
After A Guang's death, Xu xiang decided to return to the country of Shu. He wants to rearrange his heart. Of course at first the idea was rejected by the entire Sima family, especially Ziyan and Sima Rui. But after Xu xiang's great efforts persuaded them, they finally allowed it.
" Sister-in-law, don't forget to send letters often. "
" Of course. My family is here, of course I will often give news. "
A Fei and Xuxiang gave each other a farewell hug.
" Xu xiang, don't forget to take care of yourself, and don't forget to go back. Even though A Guang is gone, I am still your mother, the entire Sima family is still your family. Don't forget about it. "
" I will always remember you. "
" Be careful. " That's the only two sentences Sima Rui said.
" Can't you say longer, Your Majesty. "
Xuxiang smiled at the debate between her two in-laws. " It's okay mom. Dad took me away, that's more than enough. Thank you dad. " Sima Rui nodded.
After that Xu xiang turned to the small family of A Feng.
" I wish you and A Feng could live happily like mom and dad. " Say to Liu Ru.
" You too brother. Don't forget to send a letter. We can discuss pregnancy together by mail. " Xuxiang nodded, then looked at A Feng.
" Your brother must be very happy, because his wish has been achieved. I'm sure you'll be a great crown prince in the future. "
" Thank you. " Just like his father, Sima Feng didn't say much either.
Xuxiang's departure made the Sima family back gloomy. Even so they tried to understand the situation of Jin's former crown princess.
Going by carrying Sima's descendants, Sima Rui and Ziyan secretly agree to put a shadow guard to protect them.
