CHAPTER 282 (1): TOO LATE

Just before Yun Ruofeng fell into the lake, Qin Ling had mustered up his courage to walk into the back garden . He had been waiting outside for more than two hours, and had grown worried when Prince Yun still hadn’t returned .

When he finally found Prince Yun, the latter was bending over to pick up the pieces of the shattered wine pot before he fell into the lake . Waves broke the surface of the lake, blowing apart it’s previously serene surface .

Qin Ling immediately ran up and jumped into the lake, taking ahold of Yun Ruofeng’s arm and attempting to bring him to shore . However, drunk as he was, Yun Ruofeng stubbornly struggled to try to stay at the bottom of the lake . Qin Ling had no choice but to knock him out by hitting his neck before dragging him ashore .

When Qin Ling saw Prince Yun’s pallid face, he knew that things weren’t looking good . Prince Yun has been badly affected by his loss of power this time around .

Without thinking about anything else, Qin Ling carried Prince Yun on his back and ran to the main courtyard . He then instructed an imperial guard to secretly summon Imperial Physician Fang from the imperial palace .

A maidservant from the Prince Yun Residence had been summoned to change Yun Ruofeng out of his wet clothes . However, before her hand had touched him, Yun Ruofeng’s eyes snapped open with a cold blaze . “Don’t touch this Prince! Lan-er doesn’t like it if others touch this Prince!”

The maidservant was confused . Who is Lan-er? Does Prince Yun like a woman called Lan-er? The maidservant didn’t know what to do and immediately left the room to find Qin Ling .

When she told Qin Ling about the situation, he immediately understood who ‘Lan-er’ was . “I will take care of it, just keep quiet about this matter . ”

The maidservant nodded and turned on her heels to leave .

When Qin Ling entered the main hall, he found Yun Ruofeng sitting on a red wooden chair, the latter’s eyes furiously darting around the room . “Where is this Prince’s tea? Lan-er’s favourite tea is kept here by this Prince . Why did it disappear?! She won’t be happy if she finds out it’s missing . ”

When Qin Ling saw that the dispirited Prince Yun was beside himself, he started to worry and hastily walked up . “Prince Yun, you just asked your maidservant to take the tea away, saying that you didn’t want to see those tea leaves . The previous Eldest Imperial Princess has already passed away; you need to let it go . ”

“Passed away?” Yun Ruofeng chuckled and suddenly quieted down . “She hasn’t passed away; she is alive . This Prince just saw her . She doesn’t want to forgive this Prince and is refusing to come back . ”

Qin Ling was even more worried . Prince Yun is starting to talk nonsense . How can he meet someone who has already passed away? He’s missing the previous Eldest Imperial Princess so much that it has become a disease . But if he misses her so much, why did he kill her? Perhaps if he hadn’t done so, Prince Yun wouldn’t be this way . Perhaps Commander Wei wouldn’t have died either .

Prince Yun brought all of this upon himself . This much was obvious to Qin Ling, but he didn’t dare to say it . Rather, he couldn’t bear to say it .

“This Prince wants to drink tea; bring it here . ” Yun Ruofeng looked at Qin Ling and ordered .

“Prince Yun, you should change out of your wet clothes . ”

Yun Ruofeng waved his hand . “No, this Prince wants to drink tea . ”

Qin Ling couldn’t think of anything else to say besides . . . “The previous Eldest Imperial Princess might be here soon . If she sees that you are sitting here in wet clothes, she won’t be happy . ”

“Won’t be happy…” Yun Ruofeng murmured to himself . His inebriated mind was full of thoughts of Ning Rulan .

“You are right, this Prince will change my clothes . Bring the tea over soon . ”

“This subordinate understands . ” Qin Ling left then left the room to retrieve the tea .

However, he could only sigh as he walked away . If Prince Yun had known that this would be the result, why would he kill the previous Eldest Imperial Princess? He should understand that what goes around comes around . I hope that Prince Yun can reflect on this and feel some guilt .
