Why My Domineering Prince Regretted Filing for Divorce?

Chapter 1039 - 758: King Qin Is the True Final Boss! (Part 2)

"..."The speaker is careless, the listener attentive.

When Yu Mingyue spoke these words with a sense of fulfillment, she failed to notice that the look in Yu Dingxing’s eyes grew even deeper.

As a man, even though he knew many women lived relying on men, and would go to great lengths for the favor of men, he never paid attention to this matter. After all, it was the women competing, and as a man, enjoying the feeling of being fought over was enough.

Yet he didn’t expect that someone would use the conflicts between women to achieve what they wanted.

And that person was his own daughter!

This method of sparing no means not only chilled his heart but also made him feel like playing with fire.

After all, Yu Mingyue’s scheming was not only against the shrewd Yu Wenquan, who could manipulate the chaotic times and eventually replace Daye to achieve greatness, but also against the almost invincible King Qin Yuwenye on the battlefield. Moreover, following Yuwenye from Yanmen, Luocang, Jiangdu, even Fufeng, and Taiyuan, there was Princess Qin Shang Ruyi. How could these two be so easily burned by a bit of backyard fire?

Yu Mingyue was thinking too simplistically.

Moreover, her simple thinking was no longer just her own matter. After all, she bore the surname Yu, and was his daughter, now recognized by his ancestral line as the legitimate daughter of Duke Wushan. If something inadvertently involved him, the current wealth and prosperity might also vanish into thin air.

Thinking of this, although already very impatient, Yu Dingxing could only restrain his temper and say, "Ming Yue, don’t take certain things for granted."

As he spoke, he warned, "Have you forgotten that night at Bai Fu Hall?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Mingyue’s face immediately stiffened.

In recent days, she hadn’t been able to meet Yu Wenqian; even when hearing that Yu Wenquan had granted him two concubines, the news could only be relayed through Aunt Hui. Ever since that celebratory banquet at Bai Fu Hall, Yu Wenquan, who previously had appreciated her, had suddenly become cold.

She understood it was because of the things she said that night.

But, where exactly was she wrong?

These days, she felt indignant but could not deny that no matter how many things she controlled or how much of the future she knew, in such a feudal dynasty, Emperor Yu Wenquan was an insurmountable mountain before her. He was the Emperor, holding everyone’s life and death. Apart from pleasing him, making him happy, and gaining his approval, she and Yu Wenqian had no other paths.

Seeing her change in expression, Yu Dingxing immediately continued, "It’s simply because you took things for granted and spoke without restraint that His Majesty distanced himself from you. Otherwise, you wouldn’t need to stay at home; you’d already have moved into Chengqian Hall as Crown Princess Consort."

"..."

"Following the Crown Prince in Taiyuan, all the hardships have been in vain. Don’t you understand?"

Yu Mingyue bit her lower lip forcefully.

But after a silent pause, she still coldly sneered, "Do you think I really can’t become Crown Princess Consort?"

"...!"

Yu Dingxing’s heart skipped a beat as he looked at her.

Indeed, ever since this daughter brought the then Young Master Yu Wen back to his side, paving his path to glory, he had her acknowledged back into the family, bring her home, even angered his wife and younger daughter, causing them to stay at their parents’ house. Yet, he didn’t have much affection for this daughter.

He wasn’t foolish; from Yu Mingyue’s occasional cold eyes cast upon him, he could clearly discern the disdain and scorn.

After all, he had abandoned them back then.

Now, sitting together, calling each other father and daughter, they were more like locusts tied to the same rope. He needed this daughter, who occasionally controlled the situation, for ideas and strategies, while Yu Mingyue needed this status as the legitimate daughter of the Yu family to barely qualify as Crown Princess Consort.

Despite this, he was wary of Yu Mingyue’s cold character and malicious means.

If one day she fails to become Crown Princess Consort, yet her actions constantly walk the knife’s edge, possibly implicating the entire Yu family, he wouldn’t hesitate to abandon her again, just like he abandoned his pregnant wife back then.

But upon hearing these words, Yu Dingxing’s mind turned again, lowering his voice and saying, "You, what way do you have, to regain His Majesty’s favor?"

Speaking of this, recalling Yu Mingyue’s plans again, he couldn’t help but frown, "Your plan this time is merely to create a scandal in Qianqiu Palace. Even if His Majesty truly dislikes King Qin, it won’t benefit you at all."

Yu Mingyue smiled faintly, "There’s plenty of benefit. Besides——"

While speaking, she placed a finger on the table, seemingly calculating or perhaps plotting something, and said, "To win the emperor’s favor, how hard can that be? King Qin relies only on military accomplishments. As long as we..."

Yu Dingxing was shocked, "You, military accomplishments? What opportunity do you have to achieve military accomplishments?"

Yu Mingyue coldly laughed, "Just wait, opportunities will come."

Saying this, she turned her gaze to the dark night outside. The heavy clouds slowly parted, revealing a crescent moon, like a hook. Returning to this era, with all timekeeping tools lost, she could only learn from those around her, slowly mastering the skill of judging time by recognizing the moon.

And that critical time was nearing, just a matter of patience.

"Now,"

She murmured, "I just want to see how they will overcome tomorrow’s challenge."
