1755 The End of Honored Princess Jing

The depth of Honored Princess Jing’s resentment towards Zhou Huaijin was palpable. She couldn’t hide her intense hatred for him.

If it had been her own skills that led to her son’s death, perhaps she wouldn’t have despised him so fervently. But it was Zhou Huaijin who was responsible for her son’s demise. Ling was not only her beloved son but also her only source of hope in life.

Ling had already held the esteemed position of Crown Prince, just one step away from the throne she had dreamt of. If Zhou Huaijin hadn’t interfered, everything would have unfolded differently.

With Ling’s demise, Honored Princess Jing refused to let any of them live.

In a disturbed mental state, Honored Princess Jing exerted every effort to lunge at Zhou Huaijin.

Before she could reach Zhou Huaijin, she was swiftly brought down by Zhou Huaijin’s guards. They restrained her.

Despite causing such chaos in the court, she had not been immediately escorted away due to her status as Honored Princess Jing. The servants hesitated to take any action against her. However, when she came to Fengxian Palace and posed a threat to the Queen’s safety, as well as attempted to harm the King, the court servants had no choice but to intervene.

Honored Princess Jing continued to struggle fiercely, as if she refused to give up on this day.

Honored Princess Jing had reached a point where she felt she had nothing left to live for. With her son dead, she did not wish to endure a solitary existence in this world. If she couldn’t seek revenge, she saw no purpose in continuing to live and would prefer death.

Zhou Huaijin recognized the precarious state of her mental well-being.

However…

He felt no sympathy for Honored Princess Jing.

In the past, she had committed numerous malicious acts against them. It was because Zhou Huailing had failed that she found herself in this situation. If Zhou Huailing had succeeded, her demeanor would have been quite different.

Zhou Huaijin sighed softly. “Escort her back to her palace and grant her a single ribbon. If she wishes to end her own life, she is free to do so. But if she chooses to continue living, ensure she remains where she currently resides. If she causes any more disturbances regarding Chaoyan, I will not forgive her.”

After uttering those words, Zhou Huaijin did not spare a glance towards Honored Princess Jing as she was restrained. Instead, he approached Gu Chaoyan’s side.

He asked with concern, “Are you frightened?”

“No, not at all. With Sword One by my side, there is nothing to fear,” Gu Chaoyan replied with a brief smile.

Although Honored Princess Jing had caused quite a commotion, she was alone. Gu Chaoyan understood that she posed no threat, and therefore, she never felt afraid.

“Imperial families have always been characterized by their cruelty and ruthlessness. However, there are times when we must embrace such traits. Those who fail in the game for the throne often meet unfortunate fates like Honored Princess Jing. Thankfully, the previous King had only a few sons, and our Elder Brother and Sixth Brother never sought involvement in the throne or the court. That’s why we are able to maintain a harmonious relations.h.i.+p with one another,” Zhou Huaijin confided in Gu Chaoyan.

Typically, only the King survives among the imperial family, solely driven by their pursuit of the throne.

Zhou Huaijin and Gu Chaoyan took their seats, and she graciously served him tea. “Lord Yan is gentle, and Lord Yu enjoys traveling. They may not appear particularly close to you, but they truly care. Please don’t dwell on it too much.”

Zhou Huaijin nodded and smiled.

“It’s getting late; let’s retire for the night.”
