Quick Wear: The Cold Beauty's Sickly Husband is Super Clingy

Northwest of Xia State.

Jing Ling fell into the sand in a dishevel. His clean white clothes were already mottled with red and black patches. He didn't look like a nobleman at all.

He looked up at the sky, "From now on, I am free."

The world is so vast that he can roam freely.

The air outside is still fresher, and he likes this free and unrestrained feeling.

System 8023: [Host, twenty miles ahead is the northwest town of Xia Country - Qingshi Town. Let's go there to recuperate first.]

Although it exchanged the host with a universal detoxification pill, Jing Ling's body was still damaged and he had to rest well.

"Okay." Jing Ling lay on the soft sand with a faint smile on his face, but his magnetic voice revealed an indescribable darkness.

"Screw the emperor, screw the prince, no one will ever try to restrain me in the future."

System 8023 trembled inexplicably. It always felt that there seemed to be black air coming out of the host's body, and there were signs that it was about to turn evil.

No way? The host wouldn't really be affected by the original owner's memory and become a crazy beauty!

【Ahhhhh——】

An ordinary system made a sharp explosion at this moment.

Jing Ling frowned in disdain, "What are you shouting for?" Why are you making such a fuss!

System 8023 shed two lines of tears, [Host, have you noticed that you have changed? ]

Jing Ling raised his fingers and stared at the hand stained with his blood as if nothing had happened.

"Since I am going to play the original owner, I naturally have to follow the original owner's personality."

"How could a deposed prince who had everything taken away from him by his father remain unchanged? It's a good thing he didn't go crazy on the spot."

The original owner tried his best to protect everyone around him, but he finally found out that he couldn't protect any of the people he cherished.

His friends died because of him, his colleagues died because of him, even the tutor who enlightened him and taught him to read died, all because they were part of the prince's party!

How could such a deposed prince who had lost everything still be the gentle gentleman he used to be? How could he be exactly the same as before?

System 8023: [(╥﹏╥)]

Woo woo woo, Lord God, please return it to its gentle host who is as beautiful as the flower on the mountain top!

Although the current host is still covered with the clean and elegant appearance of a gentleman, it can feel the viciousness and madness beneath the other's skin.

The Royal Palace of Xia Kingdom.

Emperor Xuan of Xia stared silently at the ruins in front of him. That was the palace he had built bit by bit in the past. It was the new palace he had built for his only son.

Yongming Palace, "Yongming" means that he hopes that his prince can always be as bright as the sun and have a bright future.

But it was also he who destroyed his own prince with his own hands, imprisoning the deposed prince in Yongming Palace. In the end, he could only watch Yongming Palace and his son turn to ashes, never to return to the way things were before.

Emperor Xia Xuan had his hands hanging down at both sides of his body. He had said with absolute certainty that Jing Ling would be deposed, but when he actually lost his son, it seemed as if the sky was falling.

When he thought of his son whose body was missing, his chest ached. He raised his hands but put them down again weakly.

"Ling'er..." He called out once in a hoarse voice, but no one responded to him anymore.

He could no longer hold on, and collapsed on the ground with his body hunched over. Bitter tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and regret coiled in his heart like a poisonous snake. Every breath he took was filled with guilt.

"Why……"

Why did he and Ling'er end up being separated forever?

"I don't want you to die! How can you die? Why don't you come out?"

His son would rather die in the fire than ask for help from the outside, let alone leave the room.

Did he really do something wrong?

No! He was not wrong! His mistake was that he did not make a perfect plan to keep an eye on Jing Ling in Yongming Palace.

Endless regret entangled his heart, and the lingering sense of guilt was like a sharp knife, stabbing him into an abyss from which there was no escape.

Eunuch Liang sighed deeply, "Your Majesty should mourn and accept the change. Right now, you should make good arrangements for His Highness's funeral!"

Emperor Xuan of Xia glared at him fiercely, "What will happen after death? My son will not die! He must still be alive. Let more people dig for me!"

"You want to see people when you are alive, you want to see corpses when you die!"

Eunuch Liang looked at his master who was deceiving himself and others and really didn't know what to say.

You were the one who deposed and imprisoned the crown prince, but you ended up messing things up and causing the crown prince to be burned to death here. Now you act like you regret it so much, it's really incomprehensible!

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is such a good man. Not only is he handsome and elegant, but he is also quick-witted, skilled in both civil and military affairs. He treats the palace servants very well and is the benevolent crown prince in their minds.

However, His Majesty became more and more wary of the Crown Prince, and even deliberately fabricated charges to depose the Crown Prince, and even killed all of the Crown Prince's followers.

Isn't this pushing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to his death? But when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really died, His Majesty pretended to regret it.

Even Eunuch Liang, who had served Emperor Xuan of Xia for forty years, was increasingly unable to guess the other party's thoughts and could not understand his behavior.

He could only follow Emperor Xuan of Xia's instructions and continue to dig up the remains of the deposed prince with the young eunuch.

"Come with me and keep digging here!"

But no matter how hard they dug, they couldn't find even a bone from the ruins.

This also became an important reason why Emperor Xuan of Xia refused to believe that his son was dead.

All the court officials knew that the deposed crown prince had died, and some even submitted memorials requesting Emperor Xuan of Xia to posthumously confer titles on the deposed crown prince, but Emperor Xuan of Xia simply threw all of them away.

Emperor Xuan of Xia refused to believe that Jing Ling was dead and still held on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that his son had simply left the palace secretly, rather than dying in the fire without even leaving behind a corpse.

What he did was extremely unkind, and he was despised by many officials in the court.

Even after the death of the deposed crown prince, there is still no peace. No one knows what bad luck he has suffered!

They were obviously the most noble and closest father and son in the world, but in the end they ended up with the old man sending the young man away.

No one understood Emperor Xuan of Xia's twisted mind. He was afraid of his perfect son from the bottom of his heart, but he also loved his only son from the bottom of his heart.

Love and hate, so awkward!

***

On June 13, the 23rd year of Jianwu, Prince Jingling, who had been crown prince for 21 years, was deposed by Emperor Xuan of Xia and imprisoned in Yongming Palace.

In June of the same year, the prince's followers were eliminated one by one, with Grand Tutor Jiang Yan suffering the worst fate.

On the seventh day of the seventh month, a fire broke out in the Yongming Palace, and the deposed crown prince who was imprisoned there died on the spot.

Emperor Xuan of Xia was extremely sad and refused to accept the reality.

Therefore, the deposed Crown Prince Jing Ling was never buried in the imperial mausoleum until his death, and could not be laid to rest or be worshipped by people in the world.

The ministers repeatedly submitted petitions to bury the deposed crown prince, but all were shelved and rejected by Emperor Xuan of Xia.

After a while, the ministers changed their direction and began to urge Emperor Xia Xuan to select a concubine.

The deposed crown prince, who was both talented in civil and military affairs, had passed away. The Xia Kingdom had no heir, so naturally the emperor needed to give birth to another one. This was also a good opportunity for the emperor to face reality.

Give the deposed prince a good end as soon as possible!

However, Emperor Xuan of Xia refused to take a concubine and instead adopted a child from the royal family, naming him the second prince of the Xia Kingdom.

The main reason why this royal family member was able to become the second prince was because his eyes and eyebrows were somewhat similar to the late deposed crown prince Jing Ling, and Emperor Xuan of Xia also changed the name of the newly enthroned second prince to Jing Ling.

The ministers were speechless about his actions. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that their Majesty was not looking for the successor of the Xia Kingdom, but was clearly looking for a replacement for the deceased prince!

They objected, but to no avail.

In the end, all the civil and military officials had no choice but to compromise and grit their teeth and acknowledge the second prince.

What can they do if they don’t recognize it? It’s not like they want to go against the emperor!
