Chapter 196 - 195: Slapping the Green Tea Empress Dowager (Part 12)
"I want to divorce you, I will divorce you."
Prince Kang was severely beaten by Anning, his body terribly painful, and psychologically he was almost unable to bear it.
He was a prince raised in luxury, never beaten since birth, everyone flattered him when they saw him.
Later, he supported the little Emperor in ascending the throne and became the powerful Regent King, untouchable by anyone, even the Empress Dowager spoke to him gently, he had never suffered this kind of humiliation.
Anning was not afraid at all.
"Divorce? I have observed mourning for my father and Queen Mother, how could you divorce me? Also, what reason would you use to divorce me? Am I not filial to my parents? How many years have your father and Queen Mother been deceased? Childless? I have given birth to both a son and a daughter, or is it because of jealousy? Don’t forget, it was you who didn’t take concubines, if you wish, I can immediately find you ten or eight beautiful concubines, but can I endure it, and can your old lover endure it?"
Prince Kang felt even more humiliated.
"I want to kill you."
Anning struck again with a stick: "Kill me then, can you beat me? I’m telling you, if you behave and don’t harm me or my children, I’ll pretend I know nothing about those flirty exchanges you have with the Empress Dowager. But if you misbehave, any small hint, and we will both have no peace. I’m now barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, if a fight breaks out, it’s uncertain who will lose face."
These words truly scared Prince Kang.
He and the Empress Dowager did have an affair, known by some, but it was knowledge shared only privately, daring not spoken aloud.
If Anning were really to shout about it, then he would lose face indeed, and most crucially the Empress Dowager, she was so fragile, she could not withstand such storms.
