When Prime Minister Xia heard these words, he felt as if a bowl of cold water was poured over his head, and his whole body was cold.
He gritted his teeth, hatred suddenly rising in his eyes. Thinking that Yuan secretly loved Prince An behind his back, he couldn't extinguish his anger.
He suddenly jumped off the carriage and told the driver, "Send her back first. I have something else to do."
Madam Linglong opened the curtain and shouted at him, "Where are you going?"
Prime Minister Xia then disappeared into the crowd!
Madam Linglong lowered the curtain, rubbed her burning and painful cheek, and said hatefully, "You are stupid, how could a woman like her fall in love with you?"
Prime Minister Xia went straight to Prince An's mansion. He had lost contact with Prince An for many years and the two had hardly any contact. However, when Xia Zian got married, he still sent an invitation to Prince An.
He wanted to settle the matter peacefully. Even if the two of them could no longer be as friendly as they were that day, it would be better not to become enemies.
So many years have passed, and he and Yuan have ended up like this. After the initial joy, he once felt a little guilty towards Prince An.
However, it turns out that for all these years, the person Yuan always loved in her heart was Prince An.
How ridiculous! He is the ridiculous one.
He just couldn't swallow this.
Prime Minister Xia has become sophisticated and cunning over the years. Under normal circumstances, he would never go to visit Prince An. However, he had suffered enough today, or rather, he had been stimulated during this period of time.
From the moment he agreed to the marriage proposal from Prince Liang, he was caught in a vortex. Xia Zian broke off the engagement, ruining his reputation.
Murong Jie's plan today made him lose face. He clearly saw that the Queen Mother and the Queen looked at him with mockery because he chose Linglong and favored her.
However, what he could not tolerate the most was the painting, the token of love that Chen Linglong gave him. It turned out that the painting belonged to Prince An and was given to him by his wife.
What happened today turned his life upside down.
The moment he came out of the palace, he felt that he was no longer the prime minister who had enjoyed so much glory.
He couldn't stand this humiliation, especially what he couldn't accept was that for so many years, he had always thought that he was the winner because he had taken away Prince An's love.
But in the end, it turned out that he was the stupidest one.
He was not wrong in his guess. Yuan Cuiyu married him because she had to obey her father's orders.
The person she really wanted to marry was Prince An.
How could he be so stupid? Back then, he actually believed for a moment that Yuan had loved him. Now, looking back, he felt that anyone would choose Prince An instead of him.
Prince An was so outstanding, had a noble family background, had made great military achievements, and was deeply in love with her. Who wouldn't choose such an outstanding person
Arriving at the gate of Prince An's mansion, the doorman saw that he was coming aggressively and hurried out, "The Prime Minister is here?"
"Is the prince here?" Prime Minister Xia asked with clenched fists.
The doorman said, "Yes, sir, please wait a moment. I will go in and inform you."
"No need to report!" Prime Minister Xia pushed open the doorman's door and ran in.
The doorman was horrified and hurried after him.
Prince An was practicing swordplay in the yard. When he saw Prime Minister Xia coming, he sheathed his sword and a hint of displeasure appeared on his handsome and calm face. "What are you doing here?"
The doorman arrived and said quickly: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister..."
Prince An said calmly: "You step down first!"
"Yes!" The doorman glanced at Prime Minister Xia, turned around and walked away.
After the doorman left, Prime Minister Xia took a step closer, his eyes burning with rage, his sophisticated face twisted, saturated with hatred and disgust, "Murong Zi, you hypocrite!"
Prince An sneered, "If you have anything to say, just say it. I don't want to see you."
Prime Minister Xia approached step by step. Prince An slowly raised his sword and pressed it against his chest. A sinister look flashed in his eyes. "Stop!"
Prime Minister Xia gripped the sword, his eyes still filled with anger. "It's been seventeen years, and you've been having an affair with her behind my back. Do you think I'm a fool? You're a prince, but you did such a despicable thing. Don't you know shame?"
Prince An suddenly put away his sword and threw it to the ground. He quickly dodged and slapped Prime Minister Xia in the face. He said in a cold tone, "How dare you! Who allowed you to insult her?"
Prime Minister Xia rushed forward like a madman, raised his fist and punched Prince An in the head.
However, after years of living a life of luxury, his martial arts skills had long been neglected. How could he be a match for Prince An
After just two moves, he was clamped by Prince An, pushed forward, and fell to the ground.
Prince An looked down at him condescendingly, the wind blowing up the sleeves of his black eagle robe, his stern face becoming even more gloomy, "Xia Huaijun, have you made enough trouble? If you have, get out of here."
Prime Minister Xia stood up and suddenly laughed out loud, "You have never let go of Yuan Cuiyu in your heart. Even though she married me, you still yearn for her. Murong Zi, oh Murong Zi, you will never have hope in this life. Even if she dies, she will be a ghost in my mansion."
His laughter was shrill, and carried an unspeakable sense of grievance. If you didn't know, you would have thought that he was the one who had been tortured all these years.
Prince An looked at him and felt a strong sense of irritation and anger rising in his heart. How could there be such a shameless person in the world
Ayu, what kind of person did you choose
"Get out!" Prince An took the sword and walked away without looking back.
He raised his hand, and his usual lazy expression became even more murderous.
Several guards rushed forward, grabbed Prime Minister Xia and threw him out.
One of the guards said coldly: "Prime Minister Xia, if you want to act wildly, you have to choose the right place. Although our prince does not interfere in state affairs, not just any Tom, Dick and Harry can come and call him to task."
After saying that, he turned around and went in, closing the door.
Prime Minister Xia was so humiliated that he calmed down.
There was only one thought in his mind, and that was that he would return all the humiliation he had suffered today.
First of all, he couldn't let Yuan and Xia Zian go.
However, before dealing with Yuan and Xia Zian, there is one person who must be given an explanation.
Prime Minister’s Mansion!
Prime Minister Xia sat in front of Madam Linglong with a gloomy face. Madam Linglong had just applied medicine and looked very embarrassed.
"What else are you hiding from me?" Prime Minister Xia stared at Madam Linglong viciously and asked sinisterly.
Madam Linglong was extremely afraid of his appearance. She had been married into the prime minister's mansion for many years, and he had always doted on her, almost pampering her like the apple of his eye. She could never have imagined that he would become a completely different person in just one day.
"No, it's really gone." Madam Linglong explained while crying, "Have you ever thought about why I did this? If I didn't really love you, why would I do this? There were many people who pursued me back then, including royal nobles, but I rejected them all and only dated you. You weren't even the prime minister back then, but I fell in love with you. Don't you understand my sincerity until now? Yes, that's right, I don't have any talent, but I love you."
