Chapter 286 Falling into the trap
The news of the princess' pregnancy spread throughout the Lingwang Palace like a spring breeze. Everyone in the palace was filled with joy, and the happiest person was the Lingwang.
Aunt Luo sat alone in her own yard, listening to the laughter coming from beyond the wall, the jealousy and resentment in her heart growing like wild weeds.
His originally handsome face was now slightly distorted by anger, and his eyes were burning with flames of unwillingness.
In her opinion, this glory and status should have belonged to her, but it was taken away by the princess who suddenly married into the royal family.
But now she got nothing and was imprisoned.
Now she doesn't ask for anything, she just wants to spend the rest of her life in the backyard of the palace.
But how can we live the rest of our lives in peace?
She thought about it, picked up a pen and wrote a letter, and asked her personal maid to deliver it to King Ling.
At dinner time, King Ling went to Aunt Luo's yard for the first time.
"Have you already thought about it?"
"Yes, I have thought about it.
Rather than wasting the rest of my life in this yard, it would be better to divorce early and go home to serve my parents."
The Spirit King nodded and said, "Things like feelings cannot be forced, it would be best if you can let it go.
If you want to get married in the future, I will definitely find a good family for you."
"Hui Ru thanks you, Your Majesty."
"Then don't waste time, sign the divorce book quickly so you can go back earlier."
"Your Majesty, Huiru has an unwelcome request before she leaves.
I have been in the palace for a long time, but I have never had a meal at the same table with the prince.
Today, could Your Majesty please do me a favor and have a meal with me?
Let’s just consider this as our farewell dinner.”
King Ling looked at the dishes on the table, thought about it, and nodded.
When Aunt Luo saw that King Ling agreed, she picked up the wine jug and poured wine for King Ling. She acted in a measured way and did not overstep the line at all.
After drinking a glass of wine, I suddenly felt a little dizzy and fell on the table with a plop.
Aunt Luo thought about it and decided to go all out. She was originally the prince's concubine, so maybe she could use this opportunity to turn things around.
She called her personal maid and whispered something in her ear.
The maid nodded, turned and left the yard, and went to the princess's residence.
"Princess, the prince asked me to come and tell you not to wait for him tonight. He is staying at Aunt Luo's place."
"Madame Luo must have used some despicable means to keep the prince in her courtyard." The maid Chuntao jumped out and roared.
The princess held Chuntao down, thought for a moment and said, "Maybe he used some despicable tricks? We'll know when we go and see."
She stood up and walked towards Aunt Luo's yard.
In her heart, she believed in the Spirit King. They had been together for so long that they didn't have even a little trust in each other.
As soon as I entered the yard, I heard the servant calling for water.
She snorted coldly, kicked the door open and walked in.
Prince Ling was lying on Aunt Luo with his upper body naked.
When Aunt Luo saw the princess coming, she quickly and gently pushed Prince Ling away, put on her clothes, got out of bed, walked up to the princess and bowed.
"Sister, the prince drank too much, so he stayed in my courtyard.
Could it be that my sister is pregnant and she won’t allow the prince to favor other concubines in the family?
Isn't that too jealous and overbearing?
Sister, this is one of the seven offenses."
The princess said nothing. She took a last look at the naked man on the bed, then turned around and left.
As a modern person, how could she not see through Aunt Luo's despicable methods?
It is obvious that the Spirit King has been tricked.
If this kind of thing can happen once, it can happen N times.
The next day, King Ling woke up and hugged the person next to him in his arms.
"Princess, my head hurts."
"Your Majesty..."
Aunt Luo looked up at King Ling with a seductive and shy look on her face.
When the Spiritual King heard the voice, he suddenly woke up and looked down at the woman lying in his arms.
He was so scared that he kicked Luo Huiru to the ground.
"Why are you in my bed?"
Aunt Luo sat on the ground in dishevel, crying with a look of grievance on her face.
"My Lord, don't you remember?
You got drunk last night and stayed in my room."
Aunt Luo crawled to King Ling's legs, hugged his legs and put her hands on his legs to tease him.
"Your Majesty, we are already husband and wife. Please don't divorce me and kick me out of the house, okay?"
The Spiritual King narrowed his eyes at the woman kneeling at his feet and kicked her away heavily.
"Luo, you are so bold that you dare to drug me?"
King Ling is not a three-year-old child. He can figure out what is going on if he just thinks about it.
Moreover, he grew up in a military camp and he knew very well how much he could drink.
Not to mention a small cup of fruit wine, even a jar of strong liquor couldn't knock him down.
Obviously, there was something wrong with the drink last night.
Seeing that King Ling was furious, Luo Huiru quickly crawled to his feet and reached out to pull his trouser leg.
"My Lord, I am also your concubine and your woman, why can't I sleep with you?"
King Ling kicked her away and said, "My woman? You shameless thing, who gave you the face?
This king has only one woman in this life, and that woman is this king’s princess.”
"Someone is coming..."
"Your Highness, something bad has happened..." Chuntao stumbled into the yard.
"My Lord, the princess is missing..."
The Spirit King's brain was blank, like a paste, unable to think.
"When did it happen? Why are you reporting it now?"
His eyes were bloodshot and he gripped Chuntao's shoulders tightly.
"This morning, when I went to deliver water to the princess, I saw a letter on the table in the outer room, but the princess was nowhere to be seen in the inner room."
"What happened?" King Ling's heart skipped a beat. He probably guessed what happened, but he still held out a glimmer of hope.
Chuntao told the princess what Aunt Luo had told her in the princess's courtyard last night, as well as what the princess had seen when she came here last night.
"Ah..., Luo Shi, I'm going to kill you."
King Ling held his head and roared at Aunt Luo with a ferocious face.
Aunt Luo never imagined that the opportunity to turn things around that she had been dreaming of would lead to her eternal damnation.
"Someone come...
Throw this slut Luo into the Sky Prison and beat her to death.
Don’t beat him to death.”
"Yes! Your Majesty..."
Two guards dragged Aunt Luo out the door.
"Your Majesty, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. I will never do it again.
Please, Your Majesty, please let me go for the sake of our marriage.
I will sign the divorce agreement with you right now, pack up my things and go back to my parents' home."
"You shameless bastard, it's too late, drag me away and beat me up..."
Aunt Luo was dragged away, and Prince Ling stumbled towards the princess's yard.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw the letter on the table.
He opened the letter with trembling hands, and there were only a few words on it.
【Let’s part ways and live happily ever after】
"Come here, seal the city gates and search the entire city for Princess Ling."
At this time, the city gate had just opened, and he was certain that the princess had not left the city yet.
As long as he intercepts in time, he should be able to stop the person.
But the result disappointed him. He searched door to door in the city for three days and three nights, but found no news.
Unable to find the person, King Ling collapsed. He ignored state affairs all day and just drank.
Drink when you are awake, and continue sleeping when you are drunk.
He could only see his princess in his dreams, so he didn't want to wake up.
On the fifth day, the guards from the Heavenly Prison came to ask for a meeting.
"Your Majesty, Luo said she has something to tell you. Maybe you can win back the princess."
The Spiritual King sneered. Redeem yourself? The princess once said that she came from the future world and was not originally from this world.
He was afraid that he would never see the princess again.
It would be better to go and see what the woman has to say.
In the huge dungeon of the royal palace, only Luo was imprisoned.
"Splash the person to wake him up."
Wow...
Luo, who was tied to the rack, was awakened by the cold water and slowly opened his eyes.
"I heard that you have something to say to the king?"
King Ling sat on a chair and blew on the cup of tea.
"My Lord, please, please let me go."
bang...
The Spirit King slammed the teacup heavily on the table.
"Oh, is that all you're telling me?"
Then he stood up, turned around and walked out the door, "Call me..."
“My Lord, nothing happened between us that night.
I did give him an aphrodisiac, but for some reason, the prince fell into a coma after drinking it.
So nothing happened between us that night.
If you don't believe me, you can check if the seal on my wrist is still there."
King Ling winked at his personal guard.
The guard walked to the rack and pulled open Luo's sleeve.
"Your Majesty, Luo's uterus seal is still there."
The Spirit King's eyes were bloodshot, he clenched his fists, and said coldly: "Since you want a man so much, then throw her into the barracks to be a military prostitute."
"My Lord, My Lord...
You can't treat me like that, I'm your woman.
My father is a second-rank official in the current dynasty. Aren't you afraid that my father will cause you trouble?"
"Hahaha……
your dad?
I'm a fifth-rank prince, how can I be afraid of your father?
If your father cared about you, he would have taken you home long ago. Why would he let you waste time in my Lingwang Palace?
You caused my princess to leave me. If you don't repay this debt, your entire Luo family will have to pay it on your behalf.
Do you think your father will help you pay for your crime?"
"My Lord, please don't send me to be a military prostitute. I really know I was wrong.
You can let me stay in the palace as a servant girl."
"Who would dare to employ a servant girl like you? If it wasn't for that day, and you used some dirty tricks to climb into someone else's bed, wouldn't I be guilty?"
King Ling flicked his sleeves and left, and behind him came shouts for mercy.
Luo was sent to the military camp and died within less than a month.
The Spirit King spent the whole day studying how to go to his princess's world to find him.
Seeing that he stayed indoors all day and ignored state affairs, the queen had no choice but to ask the emperor to let him go to his fiefdom early.
King Ling did not raise any objection. The next day after receiving the imperial edict, he left Kyoto and went to his fiefdom.
Among the princes of the same age, King Ling may be the first one to go to his fiefdom.
However, because he did not fight or compete, the jackals and tigers of the royal family let him go.
He had made great military achievements, and the old emperor was worried that he would overshadow him, and his brothers were worried that he would compete for the position of crown prince.
Everyone felt relieved and directly removed him from the list of enemies. When he left, everyone even gave him a false farewell in a brotherly manner.
