The Princess Consort’s Struggles

Transmigrating as a prince’s consort should, in theory, mean living a life of luxury—savoring sumptuous food and drink while having servants at one’s beck and call, right?

But in realit...

Chapter 40

Shao Qing was horrified and rushed out of the tent in two steps, only to see Wei Jing's eyes were bloodshot, his cheeks were twitching slightly, a thin layer of sweat was oozing from his forehead, and his expression was bloodthirsty as if he wanted to eat someone.

He fell into this frenzy again, and worse than before.

"lady?……"

"You go down first!"

Han Xi's words were interrupted by Shao Qing, who glanced at Wei Jing and finally retreated silently.

"Husband, you can't do this."

Although she only heard a few words, Shao Qing had already grasped the key point. Her heart was pounding as she rushed to Wei Jing, panicking and saying, "You can't do this!"

Wei Jing slowly lowered his head and looked at her, staring at her for a moment, as if he had just recognized her, and his Adam's apple rolled heavily a few times.

“I can’t help it.”

"Ah Qing, the Yellow River will definitely burst its banks next year."

This country, which is rotten to the core and still plagued by civil unrest, cannot withstand such a heavy blow.

A great chaos is about to break out, and he must capture Anyang County before that, otherwise he will lose the opportunity and there will be no hope of revenge.

"You know what? Today is my brother's birthday. He died at the age of twenty-four."

In the dim light, Wei Jing's face was expressionless like a sculpture, and his hoarse voice was like sand and stone grinding against people's eardrums.

"And today last month was the birthday of my royal nephew."

Shao Qing was stunned.

She knew that the former crown prince's eldest son was born in autumn, but she didn't know the exact day. The six-month-old baby was the crown prince's eldest son, and she had held him in her arms.

The former crown prince was not lucky in having offspring. Several of his children died young, and it was with great difficulty that he finally had this one.

What a pity, what a pity…

"I held him in my arms before I went to war."

The newborn baby looked like a monkey, very ugly, curled up in a small ball, and was surprised by its incredible softness.

However, his brother was very happy and said that the child was very good-looking and had a strong body.

After that, in every letter the brothers exchanged, this ugly monkey always occupied a large part of the text. He got whiter, fatter, and more smiling. In the last letter, he said that he had just grown up and asked him to come back and take a good look. He also asked him not to forget his nephew and to have a baby as soon as possible.

"It's a pity that I didn't see him again."

Such a little child brought so much joy to us, it's a pity that he died.

Not long after the crown prince committed suicide out of fear of crime, he and a group of women in the Eastern Palace committed suicide.

Fire tattoo, is it painful? Unfortunately, when this ugly monkey cried, there was no father by his side to comfort him.

Wei Jing raised his head, a tear sliding down from the corner of his eye.

"I must avenge this!"

Deep hatred gnawed at his heart. Wei Jing trembled all over. He gasped heavily, and a murderous intent was revealed.

His brows were stern, he pulled out his arm that was being held, and turned to go out. Shao Qing hurriedly grabbed him.

"Even if it's revenge, we can't ignore the people being poisoned!"

Shao Qing burst into tears when she heard this. Although everyone who was listening felt pain, she still couldn't agree: "What guilt have the people committed?!"

There was no causal relationship between the two. Shao Qing tightly grasped his sleeve and said in a hoarse voice: "Have you forgotten the common people you have protected for five years?!"

Wei Jing was shocked and turned around suddenly.

"But what about that?"

His voice was hoarse: "Besides you, does anyone else remember?"

The people whom he had protected with his flesh and blood and his life were happy to cooperate with the officers and soldiers in capturing him.

The pain and anger that burned his heart and lungs surged up again, and Wei Jing was filled with hatred: "They have long forgotten, and only know about the reward of ten thousand gold and the title of marquis."

He breathed rapidly and pulled Shao Qing's hand away again.

"They don't know the truth!"

Shao Qing chased him out of the study and ran to the door, but Wei Jing's steps were so big and fast that she couldn't catch up with him at all.

"Have you forgotten Ji Huan, Han Xi, Zhang Yong, and Chen Qi? And there are others who gave up everything to follow you. Have they forgotten you too?!"

"Your brother cares about the world. Would he want to see you like this? How will you face your mother and brother in the afterlife?!"

Shao Qing burst into tears, feeling very uncomfortable and also having a deep sense of powerlessness and confusion.

She suddenly had a feeling, could she really persuade that man full of hatred to come back?

She was so emotional that her old illness recurred. Her head was twitching and her vision was black and dizzy. She had to hold on to the pillar to stop.

Just when she was in despair, Wei Jing in front of her suddenly stopped. Shao Qing was delighted and hurried over despite the pain.

"Let's think of other solutions, okay?" She was afraid that he would leave again, so she hugged him tightly.

"But is there any other solution?"

Wei Jing turned around, his reddish black eyes stained with water, and he murmured: "This is the only way."

"There will be other ways. Let's think about it. Didn't the salt ship in Gaoling stop for at least one day? Let's think about it. There will be other ways."

She looked up at him, her face full of tears. They stared at each other for a long time, and finally, he nodded.
