After being read, the abstinent prince bullies others with his wife every day

Chapter 307 Seeking Death

Emperor Jingsheng looked at Jiang Hong in front of him and suddenly remembered the time when he was poisoned. Jiang Hong was so panicked that he even bled to serve as a medicine guide, but Emperor Jingsheng completely ignored him and rewarded Jiang Yu and Yun Shuning handsomely.

Later, because Jiang Hong's blood-letting behavior was too extreme, he was punished severely.

In an instant, guilt filled his heart. He thought that Jiang Hong's current stubborn character might be caused by him.

Emperor Jingsheng moved his lips, and finally closed his eyes and sighed.

"Come here, put the crown prince in jail for the time being. The prince has taken the initiative to confine him to the palace."

Jiang Hong did not say a word, but just knelt quietly in the same place. The faint yellow candlelight was hidden behind heavy curtains, dancing slowly and silently in the hazy night, reflecting on him, flickering.

When the guards came forward to pull him away, he came to his senses belatedly, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed heavily.

The voice is obscure.

"Thank you, Father."

A trace of pain flashed across Emperor Jingsheng's eyes, and he began to cough violently until Jiang Hong and the guards disappeared.

Eunuch Li hurried in from outside the palace, stroking his back again and again to soothe his breathing: "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."

Emperor Jingsheng stretched out his hand to brush him away, letting himself cough until his face turned pale. After a long while, he murmured, "It's my fault, it's my fault..."

……

The sky was gloomy, with fine snow flying in the air. Layers of dark clouds piled up and rolled, wrinkled against the iron-black sky.

In a dark corner of the palace prison, Jiang Hong curled up on the cold ground, his expression numb, staring in one direction without moving.

He hadn't taken any food for several days. His face was pale, his body was thin, his clothes were messy and covered with dust and dirt, and he looked extremely haggard.

The jailer hurried into the cell, and seeing his appearance, he felt a little sorry for him, so he said softly, "Your Highness, someone is here to visit you."

Jiang Hong remained in the same posture, without any reaction, until the figure that walked slowly in stood in front of him. Only then was his empty eyes slightly illuminated.

He raised his eyes slowly with a stiff body, and when he saw who it was, he lowered his head with a complicated look in his eyes.

It was as if she had never been here.

Pei Yan looked at Jiang Hong's haggard and emaciated appearance, tears welled up in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall. Instead, she squatted down, put the food box in her hand on the ground, and smiled faintly: "Your Highness, I made everything here myself. Please eat something. Your body cannot bear not eating like this."

As she spoke, she quickly took out the bone soup from the food box, filled a bowl, and handed it to Jiang Hong's mouth.

Jiang Hong looked at her expressionlessly, his eyes full of alienation and indifference.

He raised his hand and knocked over the food she handed him. His voice was as cold as ice: "Pei Yan, I am in prison now. You should spend more time with Gu Wen and no longer have to hide things from me. Why do you have to pretend to be so hypocritical now? Are you afraid that I might be in trouble and want you to be buried with me?"

The soup bowls and spoons were scattered all over the floor. Pei Yan stood there in a daze, a trace of pain flashing in her eyes.

She forced a smile and tried to appear calm. "Your Highness, you are joking. I am your wife, how could I be with Master Gu? The emperor has not yet issued an edict to convict you of a crime, but has just locked you up here. Maybe the emperor...he understands your difficulties and has forgiven you. You must not harm your body before this. Your Highness, you must live well and don't give up."

Jiang Hong's expression was moved for a moment, but it disappeared in a flash.

He sneered and turned his head away from her, "Alive? What's the point of living? I have nothing left. Death is my only relief."

"Snapped!"

A loud slap echoed throughout the prison, breaking the silence in the air.

"You bastard!"

Pei Yan couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes. She bit her lip and her voice trembled: "Over the years, I have hated you to the core. It's you who ruined my happiness and my life. You forced me to marry you, but now you want to leave me alone. You are simply an unforgivable bastard!"

Jiang Hong felt a pang of pain in his heart and his eyes dimmed.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his lips lightly, but smiled and said, "Hate me? Then you should be more happy with my current fate. Wouldn't it be better for you to die?"

Pei Yan shook her head with tears in her eyes: "I am not happy! I don't want to! You made me suffer so much, and now you just shake your hand and leave by yourself, what about me? How can you be so cruel?"

Jiang Hong's cheeks tightened, his hands clenched tightly under his sleeves, and his body trembled slightly.

Pei Yan said: "So, you can't die, as long as you are alive, as long as you are alive..."

Tears rolled down her eyes: "Let's put aside the past and start over."

Jiang Hong quietly looked at Pei Yan who was in front of him at this moment. He saw the pair of crystal clear and tearful eyes that he loved so much, reflecting his own shadow. He looked at the cherry-colored camellia wind that was blown in from somewhere, falling gracefully like the first time he saw her. He looked at Pei Yan at this moment.

He smiled.

Start over again.

What beautiful words, so beautiful that he dared not think about it for a moment longer, but he hoped that Pei Yan could live her life in such beauty with her beloved, with such a beautiful smile.

Jiang Hong raised his head slightly, and tears instantly rolled down his cheeks.

But such beauty does not belong to him after all. How can a treasonous prince turn back and survive?

He turned his back to Pei Yan and said, "Go away. I don't need your pity."

In her invisible sight, Jiang Hong's eyes were bloodshot, with endless pain: "It has come to this, there is no going back, from now on, you don't have to come again, I will write a divorce letter and send it to you, from today on, my affairs have nothing to do with you anymore."

"Also, you said you were willing to put aside the past and start over, but I no longer have any feelings for you."

"I am the crown prince, an upright man. How could I tolerate my wife having feelings for someone else, and even giving up my children for someone else again and again... You have worn out all my feelings for you. Get out, get out."

Pei Yan's body froze, her chest heaving violently, and she finally couldn't hold back her tears any longer. She wanted to grab Jiang Hong's hand, but he shook it away fiercely.

"Someone, take this woman out!"

The jailer stepped forward cautiously and said to Pei Yan, "Crown Princess, please go back first. The visiting time is up."

Pei Yan looked at Jiang Hong deeply, then stood up trembling and sobbing, looking back every few steps, and finally turned around and left at the urging of the jailer.

Not until her figure completely disappeared and silence returned to the surroundings did Jiang Hong's tense body relax. The belated regret and pain in his heart were like a knife cutting him, making it difficult for him to breathe and burning his heart.

He leaned against the cold wall, mumbling to himself in a voice so soft and barely audible that he could barely hear: "Yan'er, I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

The best way to treat her now is to let her go.

Even if the price was that he lost everything and completely extinguished the last bit of light in his life.

Snowflakes fluttered down, and the snow gradually became thicker, covering the entire capital city.

Inside Prince Rui's mansion, the charcoal fire in the stove was burning brightly. The warm flames illuminated the room, dividing this cold day into two.

However, they heard hurried footsteps not far away. Chen Zhao hurriedly pushed open the carved partition and said to Jiang Yu and Yun Shuning who were having dinner, "My lord, Miss Yun, the Crown Princess is here."
