Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 536 I really regret it

Consort Rui told herself, "I won't allow it!"

She would never allow Chu Yueli and Lu Beimo, that despicable couple, to live so happily!

She wanted their fate to be a hundred times, a thousand times worse than her son's!

She wanted to destroy Chu Yueli and kill Lu Beimo. She wanted one of them to live in eternal agony, and the other to disappear from this world forever.

"My heart aches so much, do you know that? Do you know that!" Consort Rui grabbed Lu Fengjin's collar and roared, "My son is so decadent, while those two scoundrels are living better and better! My heart feels like it's been ripped open by them, bleeding endlessly, do you know that?"

Lu Fengjin simply looked at her, his eyes already hazy with a hint of hatred.

But Consort Rui knew that this hatred was not directed at her.

The son was heartbroken.

Seeing him like this, how could Consort Rui feel good?

"Your Majesty, it's daylight now. Although there's a heater in the room, it's still cold if your clothes are wet," Qin Wu whispered a reminder.

It is easy to catch a cold when you are drunk.

I'm afraid the prince's health is failing him.

Consort Rui was both angry and helpless. Finally, she loosened her grip on Lu Fengjin's clothes and said, "Go and wash him up. If he doesn't want to, tie him up and throw him into the bathroom!"

...Qin Wu naturally wouldn't dare, but with Consort Rui as his backer, Qin Wu's courage finally grew a bit.

After much fuss, finally, late at night, Lu Fengjin took a bath, changed his clothes, drank ginger tea, and was helped back to bed by Qin Wu. By then, the effects of the alcohol had mostly dissipated, and he had fully regained consciousness.

When Consort Rui entered her son's bedroom again, Lu Fengjin was drinking his medicine.

The doctor prescribed medicine for him, which is more effective at dispelling cold than ginger tea.

Seeing Consort Rui enter, Lu Fengjin handed the empty bowl to Qin Wu and tried to get up.

Consort Rui said helplessly, "Lie down. Your mother just came to talk to you."

Her son was already in this state, so no matter how angry she was, she couldn't bring herself to torment him any further.

If he really gets sick from all this, who knows if it will affect the recovery of his leg injury.

Consort Rui walked to the bedside, and Qin Wu quickly brought over a chair for her to sit down.

Afterwards, Qin Wu stepped outside, closed the door, and left the space to them.

"Are you feeling better now?" Consort Rui asked softly.

Lu Fengjin's eyes still held a hint of coldness, his heart filled with despair.

"Do you think that hiding in your room and drinking will change the fact that they're getting married?" Consort Rui didn't mean to hurt her son's feelings, but this was something that had to be faced eventually.

How could Prince Jin not attend the wedding of the Prince of Mo?

If he doesn't attend, who knows how much gossip will it cause? At that time, even the emperor will think that this son is too petty and not worthy of respect.

“Jin’er, the past is truly over. From this moment on, regarding your relationship with Chu Yueli, you only need to remember her bad points, and forget everything else.”

Lu Fengjin lowered his eyes and remained silent for a long time.

Consort Rui didn't know what her son was thinking. At this moment, the chill on his body had dissipated, and the hatred in his eyes seemed to have disappeared.

She was completely still, so quiet that she seemed lifeless, a feeling that made Consort Rui very uneasy.

After a long while, she couldn't help but softly call out again, "Jin'er, what exactly are you thinking?"

"Mother." Lu Fengjin closed his eyes, two clear tears sliding down his cheeks: "My heart aches so much, I regret it so much, I really regret it so much."
