"I love you so much, why are you like this? You don't even want to have a child?" Prince Yu's face seemed to be frosted.
The princess sneered, "Because I hate you!"
Prince Yu was surprised: "Hate me?"
The princess paused, as if she had made some important decision, and then she let out a long sigh and said, "Okay, I'll just make it clear with you today."
"Back then, I was attracted to the son of my father's colleague, and my parents knew about it. We were about to get engaged."
"But at this time, you happened to meet me at the Lantern Festival and came to my house to propose marriage."
"My parents saw that you were a prince, so they didn't dare to disobey and agreed immediately."
"He drank to drown his sorrows, getting drunk all day long. One time, while riding a horse while drunk, he fell off and the horse trampled him, breaking both of his legs and leaving him disabled."
At this point, the princess' voice was choked with sobs.
"Then why didn't your family say it directly?" Prince Yu looked painfully.
The princess sneered, "Why don't you just say it? Your Highness Prince Yu, do you really not know?"
Then, she yelled hysterically, "Because you are the arrogant and domineering Sixth Prince, they don't dare to do that. They're afraid that if you knew of his existence, you would vent your anger on the two families and bring disaster to both families!"
Prince Yu slumped down in his chair as if his spirit had been drained away.
"So, you're always rude to me and whip me whenever you're unhappy? Are you taking revenge on me?"
The princess laughed out loud, "Yeah! You're just now finding out, you idiot?"
"How I wish you could gradually grow tired of me and divorce me?"
Prince Yu clenched his fists tightly and beat his thighs hard, but he was too angry to say a word.
Suddenly, he shuddered. He looked at the princess and asked, "My arm, is that you too?"
The princess showed a sinister smile: "Yes, it was me! What a pity, you are so lucky, I didn't kill you in one hit, only broke an arm."
The princess took two steps forward, grabbed Prince Yu by the collar, and said viciously, "The pain of your broken arm is not even one ten-thousandth of the pain of his disability!!"
Prince Yu looked at the princess in disbelief. She had always been gentle, but now she was acting like a lunatic.
"Lan Xin, if you really don't want to stay with me, you can just tell me, we can get divorced, and you can go find him. Why use such vicious means!"
The princess glared at Prince Yu fiercely: "It's too late, it's too late for everything. He's already dead."
"Since we can't stay with him, let's perish together!"
The princess laughed almost crazily.
Prince Yu was frightened for a moment by the princess's appearance.
The princess strode forward, opened the door, pushed her personal maid out, then closed the door and tied her up from the inside.
"What are you going to do?" Prince Yu was a little afraid.
The princess did not say anything, but took out a bottle of lamp oil from the cabinet and sprinkled it on the ground and bed without hesitation.
"Xinlan, what are you going to do?!" Prince Yu stood up in shock.
The princess grabbed the oil lamp on the table and threw it onto the bed.
The open flame met the bed soaked in lamp oil and instantly ignited a huge fire.
"Hahahahaha! Let's destroy together!" The princess stood in the firelight with her arms raised high, laughing wildly.
"Help! Help! There's a fire!" Prince Yu shouted at the top of his lungs.
He turned to open the door, but found that the princess had not only bolted the door while he was not paying attention, but also locked it with a thin iron chain.
"Hahahahaha! Your Highness Prince Yu, you'd better just wait to be burned to death! Today I will let you taste the pain."
"Die in pain and forgive his sins!"
The princess laughed wildly and danced her waist vigorously in the flames.
The flames caught her dress, and in an instant, her whole body was on fire, like a moving fireball.
She finally couldn't dance anymore and let out a shrill scream.
"Yulang, I'm here to avenge you!" The princess shouted wildly, enduring the pain of being burned by the fire, and rushed towards Prince Yu with open arms.
Prince Yu huddled at the door, his eyes wide open in horror, his body shaking uncontrollably.
If I were to be pounced upon by this crazy woman, I would be doomed.
At this moment, there was a "bang" sound, and Prince Yu's confidant kicked the door open and carried Prince Yu out.
At this time, the house was already a sea of fire.
The housekeeper had already learned about the fire and ordered his servants to bring water to put out the fire.
Half an hour later, the fire was put out. The houses where the princess lived had been reduced to ruins, and the princess had been burned to charcoal.
The next morning at court, the news that Prince Yu's mansion caught fire in the middle of the night and Prince Yu's wife was unfortunately burned to death was reported to Xia Zhengqi by Jingzhao Yin.
Kunning Palace.
Xia Zhengqi sat in the house with a worried look on his face.
"Ruoyu, why did the Prince Yu's mansion catch fire out of nowhere? And why did it only burn the princess to death?"
[What? The Prince of Yu's mansion caught fire? And the princess was burned to death?]
Xia Miaoyuan was squatting on the ground, feeding Xiaojuzi and Maomao fruit. When he heard that there was a fire in Prince Yu's Mansion, he stood up in shock.
Xia Zhengqi glanced at his daughter and whispered in the Queen's ear, "Tell me, could it be that after Prince Yu learned the truth, he killed his wife in a rage?!"
The Queen shook her head: "Prince Yu doesn't seem like someone who would do such a thing."
Xia Zhengqi stood up anxiously and paced back and forth.
"If Your Majesty is really worried, why not ask Prince Yu in person and see the fire situation?" the Queen suggested gently.
"Okay, then let's go to Prince Yu's Mansion now."
Half an hour later, Emperor Mingxi, the Empress, and Xia Miaoyuan arrived at Prince Yu's Mansion.
The palace was dead silent.
Prince Yu seemed to have lost his soul and fell on the couch, completely exhausted.
Xia Zhengqi allowed him to talk to him on the couch, while he and the queen sat beside him.
"Prince Yu, what on earth is going on?"
At first, Prince Yu said it was an accident. Xia Zhengqi questioned why only the princess was burned to death and why only a few of her rooms were burned.
Prince Yu was so frustrated that he finally told the truth.
"My brother's confidant discovered that the princess was burying medicine residue in the backyard every day. She became suspicious and dug it up, only to discover it was contraceptive medicine. I went to confront her in anger, and she told me that she simply didn't want to have a child for me."
"She also said that she had a lover in the past, but it was because of me that I proposed marriage to her that they were separated. That lover was disappointed, drank, and fell off his horse, becoming crippled."
"The lover later died. She set the house on fire, intending to burn herself."
[Wow! Such a delicate princess actually has such a big melon!?] Xia Miaoyuan bit her finger excitedly.
"So, the princess died by self-immolation?" Xia Zhengqi asked coldly.
"That's right." Prince Yu lowered his eyes and nodded.
"However, at the court this morning, some officials have already hinted that you deliberately killed your wife." Xia Zhengqi frowned.
