Quick Travel: Dream Hunt

Liu Piaopiao was so frightened by these words that she covered her mouth involuntarily, telling her not to say anything more.

After hearing these words, the prince was so shocked that his eyes dropped out and his mouth couldn't close. He had given this woman decades of wealth, honor and power, and he tried his best to cover up her mistakes. For the gratitude and affection of their youth, he allowed her to make many mistakes and tried his best to give her respect and power, just for the affection of their youth.

But what did this woman say? As a high-ranking princess, she was actually jealous of a noble lady from an aristocratic family, a talented, beautiful, dignified and elegant woman, and that woman was her daughter-in-law who had been bullied and humiliated by her for five years since she married into the family.

Haha, this is simply appalling. The princess actually did so many things to hurt her daughter-in-law just because of jealousy. Is such a woman and such a princess worth protecting?

The prince laughed out loud, tears glistening in his eyes. He did not preach any great truths but said softly:

"We have been married for 30 years, and we have treated each other with respect. I have given you all the power and favors I could give you, and even refused to let the concubine given by His Majesty get pregnant, fearing that you would be upset. In order to protect Yuan'er's position as the only legitimate eldest son, I refused to let anyone threaten your position. I have been very kind to you."

The prince sighed and continued:

"You touched the gift from His Majesty, and you hurt Tinghe. She is now the Lady of Xingguo, and you can lose your head with just one word from her. I think I did something wrong. I shouldn't have spoiled you so much, and you rose from an illiterate village woman to the wealthy and powerful Princess of Jing. Well, I will write the divorce letter, and you can go home now."

Hearing this, before the princess could react, Ting He sneered again:

"No, Your Majesty, please don't do that. Do you think divorcing the princess will keep her safe? I won't. Haitang, take my token to find my father and ask him to take you to the palace to meet His Majesty the Emperor. I have good intentions to settle today's matter, but the princess won't give me a way out. Well, then we will fight to the death. Everyone calls us a hen that can't lay eggs. Little do you know that Liu Ziyuan's extinction disease has spread throughout the world. Although I am a woman, I don't want to bear the false stigma for nothing."

Ting He paused for a moment, and then she continued as she watched Hai Tang quickly run towards the door:

"The princess has such a temper and behavior. It is inevitable that she was spoiled by the prince. Everyone is wrong. I have suffered under the princess for five years without any complaints. However, touching the things bestowed by His Majesty is a crime of disrespect to His Majesty. Although I, Liu Tinghe, am not a seven-foot man, I am also a man of steel. You know that as a woman, I also have a patriotic heart. The princess openly snatched the things bestowed by the emperor and blasphemed His Majesty's imperial decree. This is a capital crime. Patriots like us will definitely not tolerate such behavior."

Tinghe portrays herself as a victim, a wounded person, a kind person and a patriot. As long as she can gain enough voice, she will never lose.

She had originally planned to do the first task like boiling a frog in warm water. In order to secure her position as the Crown Prince's Consort, she had been tolerating the provocation and oppression of this crazy woman.

Originally, he wanted to tamper with Liu Piaopiao's child when she gave birth so that the princess could not find out the blood relationship and make them think that her child had nothing to do with Liu Ziyuan, so that Liu Piaopiao would also bear the stigma of a slut.

But who knew that this princess was too noisy and troublesome? Now, using the imperial gift, he might as well kill her once and for all. Without the princess making trouble, Liu Piaopiao and Liu Ziyuan would be in great pain, and her life in Prince Jing's Mansion would be much easier.

Forget it. Plans cannot keep up with changes. Let’s just deal with the princess first.

When the prince heard Ting He's words, he couldn't help showing an expression of disbelief and panic. He stiffened his neck and said:

"Ting He, your mother has no ill intentions. She just brought it here to take a look. She was just too excited and said some angry words. In my opinion, there is no need to trouble Your Majesty."

Ting He curled her lips and said unyieldingly:

"I have been married to Prince Jing's mansion for five years. I have worked like a slave for my mother for five years. I have been in her care for her every morning and evening for five years. I have been bullied by servants for five years. I have been insulted and oppressed by maids for five years. You can say I am timid and cowardly, you can say I have never been pregnant, you can say I am weak and can be bullied. For a woman, marrying is a lifelong commitment..."

He continued to speak with tears in his eyes:

"I respect the Prince Jing's Mansion, the Princess, and the Prince. Even though the Prince stole my dowry, used my dowry money to subsidize his mistresses or concubines, and slept in those brothels every night, I never said a harsh word to him every time he came back, and I treated him like a god. Just because I didn't agree with the Prince taking his natal cousin as a concubine, the Prince and the Princess scolded me every day as a hen that doesn't lay eggs, tortured me mentally, didn't give me food, didn't let Haitang go out to report to my father, and didn't let us use the dowry money to buy food. They always stopped Haitang in the mansion. Apart from my dowry money flowing into the pockets of the Princess and the Prince, I couldn't spend a penny of it. In the past five years, except for my personal maid Haitang, the Princess didn't even have a maid or servant to listen to my arrangements. Only when the Prince came would she send someone to serve him. As soon as the Prince left, the servants would definitely disperse..."

The more she talked, the more irritated she felt, and tears fell like broken strings. The more Ting He talked, the more aggrieved she felt, and she wished she could let out all the original owner's emotions and tears. All the resentment that the original owner had suppressed for a lifetime was now spoken out.

Ting He continued with tears streaming down her face:

"Poor me, although I am the daughter of a general, and have been engaged since childhood, I should have become the prince's consort with no worries about food and clothing, money and power, but my mother-in-law doesn't like me, my husband doesn't love me, first my husband doesn't sleep in my room, and then my mother-in-law sends people to bully me. Food, clothing, housing and transportation are all self-reliant for Haitang and I. They said I can't get pregnant and violated the seven grounds for divorce, so they wanted to divorce me and drive me out, and take in a cousin. I didn't agree, so they sent me white porridge and moldy steamed buns every day. Haitang and I can't leave the house, and there are servants targeting us. Life is difficult. What else can we do except do everything ourselves?"

Ting He calculated the time and glanced outside the hall. She had heard the sound of someone stopping and then no movement. She must have thought that His Majesty had sent someone, and seeing that she was talking excitedly, she stopped.

She had no choice but to pinch her thigh again, and tears immediately started to fall. Her voice was so sad that she wanted to cry but couldn't. The scene was extremely miserable.

Ting He no longer just talked about his own tragic experience, but told all the clues he had captured based on the plot and his memory. Of course, some of them were made up and had not been verified at all.
