That night, at the Prince's Mansion.
With a loud bang, Long Haochang smashed the bottle in his hand and yelled, "You can't even pour a glass of wine! You useless piece of shit! Get out! Get out of here!"
The maids in the room were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They knelt on the ground, trembling with wine all over their bodies, and did not even dare to raise their heads. If they really got out, His Highness would not forgive them either.
Shangguan Ruoxue came in with a bowl of hangover soup and kicked the maid closest to the prince in disgust. She shouted angrily, "Get out and receive your punishment. Twenty strokes of the cane each."
The maid cried and begged for mercy, but Shangguan Ruoxue snorted coldly, "You are so noisy and rude! You have learned the rules like a dog. If you don't serve well, you should be punished!"
The maids were dragged away, and wailing sounds were heard one after another outside the house. Shangguan Ruoxue was finally satisfied.
These vixen-like creatures always try to get close to Your Highness whenever they get the chance. Today, they can finally vent their anger.
Long Haochang was drunk, his swollen face was red from the alcohol, and he looked like a roasted pig's head.
"You all look down on me and obey the treacherous prime minister's orders. You are all traitors! All of you are traitors! I am the crown prince. Why don't you let me govern the country?"
"Not only will I be the regent, I will also ascend the throne. I am the son of destiny. You must all obey me. Those who disobey must die! I will kill you all! Kill you all!"
Long Haochang got up from the ground, drew out the sword on the table, and swung it out randomly!
Shangguan Ruoxue covered her mouth and started crying. In her heart, Brother Haochang was a great hero and the sky above her head. She was willing to do anything for Brother Haochang.
"Brother Haochang, put down your sword and drink some hangover soup. You'll feel better after drinking it."
Shangguan Ruoxue crawled on her knees towards Long Haochang and blew gently on the hot soup in the bowl.
All Long Haochang saw before him were traitors who were forcing him, their figures were swaying, and everyone was laughing at him!
He thrust his sword forward, shouting madly, "Kill you all! Kill you all!"
"Ah!" Shangguan Ruoxue let out a scream, but she still remembered to protect the hangover soup in her hand. She fell to the ground, touched brother Haochang's face, and her voice was filled with tears.
"Your Highness, please wake up. Look carefully. I am Xue'er. I love you!"
With a clang, the sword in Long Haochang's hand fell to the ground. He woke up as if from a dream and shouted in pain: "Xue'er! Xue'er, are you okay? Why didn't you dodge?"
The sword on the table was just a decoration and had no blade, but Shangguan Ruoxue felt uncomfortable after being hit in the abdomen, and her face became even paler.
She fed the hangover soup to Brother Haochang and finally made up her mind, "Xue'er is fine. Seeing Brother Haochang in so much pain, Xue'er's heart is broken."
"Xue'er shouldn't be so selfish and shouldn't stop Princess Rong'an. The princess said she could help Brother Haochang. Xue'er will invite her in right away."
Princess Rong'an waited for two full hours, until it was completely dark, before the prince had time to see her.
As soon as she entered the room, she smelled a strong smell of alcohol, which could not be suppressed by any strong incense. The mixture of various smells made her feel nauseous.
Long Haochang sat slumped on the wooden chair in the middle, his face ugly and his body limp. It seemed as if all his energy had been drained away overnight, and he had turned into a decayed shell.
Princess Rong'an felt disgusted in her heart, but she still politely saluted and said loudly, "Your Highness has lost the power of regent, but he is still the crown prince. Are you going to remain depressed like this forever?"
"Prince Xing is nothing more than a puppet. The Prime Minister's office is clearly ambitious, and the Marquis of Zhongyong commands a large army. They must have colluded long ago. The court is mostly composed of mediocre people who only serve as yes-men. The Dragon Kingdom is in danger. Is Your Highness going to watch it fall into the hands of others?"
Long Haochang was so angry that he threw the empty bowl beside him and roared, "Of course I don't want to! But what can I do? The emperor is coming back soon, and I have lost the support of the people. No one supports me as regent. I am just the crown prince, but I can't do anything."
Princess Rong'an bowed deeply and said in a clear voice, "Your Highness can do a lot. The Empress Dowager is willing to lend a hand!"
Long Haochang's eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped forward to help Princess Rong'an up, revealing a smile that he thought charmed everyone. "Okay, okay! Princess, please take a seat."
Princess Rong'an looked at the pig's face that was magnified before her eyes. She felt extremely disgusted, but her face did not show any trace of it. "Thank you, Your Highness. You are so polite."
The two sat down hand in hand and talked until midnight.
After Princess Rong'an left, Shangguan Ruoxue held back her tears and approached the prince with tea.
"Your Highness, are you tired? Let me rub your shoulders."
Long Haochang enjoyed Shangguan Ruoxue's service, and he became energetic again, "Xue'er, did you hear that? I will be the emperor soon!"
A tear fell on Long Haochang's hand. Shangguan Ruoxue finally couldn't help crying loudly. She cried so hard that she collapsed in Long Haochang's arms, gasping for breath.
"Your Highness... Your Highness, Princess Rong'an will be the Queen, and her child will be the future Crown Prince. What about me? What should I do? Can I still stay with Your Highness?"
Long Haochang hugged Shangguan Ruoxue tightly, kissed her face, and comforted her, "In my heart, you are my queen, the woman I love most. I agreed to make her my queen because I was forced by the situation. Don't worry, when I ascend the throne, I will definitely take you into the palace."
"Brother Haochang...Brother Haochang...Can you please love Xue'er more? Love Xue'er more. Xue'er loves you so much..."
Long Haochang was extremely excited, but there was still no movement under his body. Ever since he was kicked by Ji Yunhuan last time, he had been suffering from an unspeakable illness.
