The Gong Prince wanted to ask again.
But looking at the princess’ expression, he knew that she was not trying to threaten or scare him.
She had already thought it through.
For a moment, he wanted to laugh.
However, he felt a little flustered for some reason.
She swept the things on the table.
The Gong Prince was furious.
“Jun Yishun,” He uttered her real name like a curse, “You’ve lost your mind.”
Consort Fei smiled, “I always thought that 1 was very clear-headed and would not care. However, after experiencing the unfairness within this household a few times, 1 realized that from the beginning to the end, I married you not because of love or joy, but because of your power.”
The Gong Prince was angered by these words.
His eyes were filled with fury.
“Are you still thinking about that Zhu guy?”
The Gong Prince’s consort sighed deeply.
She slowly stood up, “1 allow you to be half-hearted to me, I allow you to spoil your concubine and destroy my heart, 1 allow you to not distinguish right from wrong, 1 allow you to be biased, but can’t 1 be allowed to forget my old feelings for someone?”
“Hah…” The Gong Prince’s consort sneered.
“But 1 have to tell you one thing. From the moment I stepped into the Imperial Residence, I threw away the past. I didn’t think about him all these years, nor did I look for him.”
“Let’s part on good terms, Your Majesty. Don’t throw your dignity to the ground and let others see you as a joke.”
Nowadays, divorce is not a big deal, and it is common for couples to remarry.
However, divorcing a royal was almost unheard of.
Most importantly, the Gong Prince had yet to receive any news of this. This meant that the Emperor had probably found out something when he visited Chezhou.
He wasn’t stupid.
All of his stupidity was used on the mountain of emotions brewing in his heart.
He knew that Consort Fei did not love him and was not as gentle as Concubine Wen.
He used to think that she cared, that she would be jealous and worried over him. Later on, he thought that she didn’t care, but he hoped that she did.
In the end, he was still unwilling to let her go.
Why didn’t she love him?
He was handsome, elegant, and powerful. On what grounds did she have to leave him?
After so many years, she had been dignified and virtuous. Why should she change now?
“Did you side with the Emperor behind my back?” The Gong Prince questioned.
The Consort Fei took a deep breath, “Your Highness, the Emperor is different from you. He is much wiser than you think.”
“Put away your negative thoughts.”
The Gong Prince’s consort turned around and left the room. The Gong Prince grabbed her arm and slapped her.
She fell to the ground.
The princess consort covered her face and did not cry.
“You unfaithful woman!” The Gong Prince cursed angrily, “Have 1 been lacking in food or drinks for you all these years? What did 1 not give you that you wanted? You think I’m biased towards Secondary Consort Wen, why don’t you think about how sincere you are towards me? How much do you care?”
“If you really put in the effort, would 1 go to her courtyard? This is exactly why
1 spoil a concubine and destroy my wife.”
“You always say that I’m biased, but you don’t care about me at all!”
After the Gong Prince roared, he looked at the Gong Prince’s consort’s swollen face. Something in him wanted to reach out and help her.
But he forcefully endured his instincts.
And turned his back to his wife.
Consort Fei slowly stood up on her own. If there was any affection left, it was all gone with that slap.
She walked out and Li Zhao was quick to approach her, “Mother.”
The Gong Prince’s consort quickly covered her face.
But Li Zhao had already seen it, “What happened to your face? Was it Imperial Father?”
However, he already knew the answer. After Li Zhao finished speaking, he rushed into the study.
“Father, why did you hit Mother? Haven’t you given her enough grievances and embarrassment all these years? Are you trying to force her to make room for Secondary Consort Wen? Do you want me to vacate my position as the prince for your precious bastard son?”
Li Zhao almost roared.
The usually cold yet gentle son was suddenly making a fuss over something like this.
“How dare you!” The Gong Prince roared.
“Yes, I’m impudent. I’ve long hated you. Coincidentally, 1 asked Imperial Uncle to abdicate my position as prince, and Imperial Uncle agreed.”
With that, he stepped out of the study and held his mother’s arm, “Mother, let’s leave.”
“Yes.”
He naturally meant leaving the Imperial Residence for good.
The Gong Prince was left stunned in the room.
He thought…
He hurriedly chased after them.
Both the princess consort and Li Zhao began to pack their things.
There were houses in the city, but Li Zhao and the princess preferred to live in the countryside.
“What are you doing? Put down your things!”
It was at that moment that the Gong Prince felt truly anxious..
