Chapter 19; Is it because I can't give birth?

Ming Kingdom...

Zhao Xie kowtowed down as she respectfully spoke out, "My Crown Prince, we have finally won the war; now our kingdom will prosper." She stated cheerfully.

" Yes we have my capable Princess Consort, so why wouldn't we win? but I don't want to include you in my future; I no longer need you anymore." The Dragon Clan's Prince spoke out harshly, as he turned around to face her.

"Wha... Wa... What do you mean by that my Crown Prince?" Zhao Xie stuttered in panic as her heartbeat rate raced vigorously.

" I don't need you; after all, remember how you forced yourself on me? I never wanted to get married to you, if not for getting the help of the Fox Clan, I could have discarded you away a long time ago. " He stated coldly while wiping the knife he was holding in his hand.

"I don't understand what you are saying, my Prince." Zhao Xie had turned pale and was having difficulty digesting his words.

" I don't need you to exist anymore; you are a blemish in my life." The Dragon crown Prince stated coldly, didn't spare her even a look.

" Why is that? Didn't I vow to assist you in everything? tell me, what have I not done?" Zhao Xie inquired, tears streaming down her cheeks.

" I never desired all of this; it was you who always wanted, you are the one who desired power, it was you who wanted me alive; I never requested you to heal me, it was you who requested for a marriage. Now tell me, tell me; where ever did I ask you for these things? " He questioned her coldly.

" But we have been treating each other well; we have been husband and wife for decades, why question me now? " Zhao Xie couldn't stop the tears, she felt like sharp arrows piercing through her heart.

" Haven't you heard how my clansmen are mocking me for not being a normal real man, it's been hundreds of thousands of years, we've been sleeping together but you couldn't bear an heir for me, so what use do I have from you? " The prince barked out.

" My prince we can try now that the war is over; I have been receiving treatment secretly and I am very confident that I will get pregnant." Zhao Xie hurriedly spoke up.

" Me? Sleep with you? You are a filthy thing; I don't know how many men you have slept with at those brothels you entered into. " The Prince declined unrelentingly.

" My prince, you know I have been going there to have meetings with other generals, strategizing how to fight a war, I didn't sleep with any other man. " She hurriedly defended herself.

" Hehe... Those are your words, how do you expect me to believe them, then what about the rumors going on outside? " He retorted.

" My Prince..... " She didn't finish when the knife was stabbed directly into her heart.

She lifted her head in surprise, and placed her hand on her chest, the prince pulled the knife away, and she stared at her stained hands with blood.

"Why? I loved you, and supported you, you could have divorced me, but why take my life." Tears fell down her cheeks.

" I don't want to become a joke to an entire kingdom, I have to maintain my image; also your sister is pregnant and expecting my child, I have always wanted a baby, and since she is carrying one for me, I have to marry her, but that's if you don't exist anymore. " He stated coldly.

" So I have always been a tool for you to use, you have never thought of loving me. " Zhao Xie's tears mixed with blood as she lay there motionless.

"I hate you with passion, and that's the fact, even your clansmen don't recognize you anymore, how do you want me to recognize, a prostitute? a barren woman who can never give birth." He replied coldly.

" Is it because I can't give birth? " She closed her eyes.

" Don't tell me you haven't heard the gossip outside there, you are a barren woman; who would never have a baby, even your clan isn't recognizing you anymore, I need an heir to my throne." He said.

" I will haunt you back even if I just become a ghost." She said coldly.

" And that's why I have this soul-destroying lantern, I never want to see you again, you are a blot in my entire life and I have to clean it." He said coldly and burnt her soul, without giving her a chance.

"Nooooooo!!!" she screamed out, her hand stretched out to get the lamp, but she couldn't since she laid down on the floor weakly, he lit the lamp burning her soul.

"Guards give out my orders, The Princess Consort committed adultery, hereby sentenced to death. " He spoke out coldly and those were the last words Zhao Xie died hearing.

But instead of her soul burning and getting destroyed, it was transmigrated to another body, she was given a chance to be reborn.

Shen Wei didn't wake up early, his health has been deteriorating, so he was still sleeping in his wheelchair, he knew his ending was soon.

Laying in bed, Zhao Ting felt headaches as she clutched onto her head, she suddenly snapped her eyes open.

What she saw wasn't what she expected to see, a dilapidated hut, with large open holes in the roof.

She stood up hurriedly as she stumbled, "where am I? Where am I?" Where am I?" all she remembered was her soul being burnt.

While screaming, she felt more headaches coming in and memories of the owner filling her up with who she was, she went down on her knees due to her weakened body.

Shen Wei was awakened by her screams as he wheeled himself near her, "what's wrong with you?" He questioned her coldly.

" Where am I? Where am I?" She knelt and turned around to face the person who spoke up.

" You are in Kashanon Village." He responded.

"Kashanon Village? Which Kashanon Village are you talking about? Why don't I understand?" She didn't want to believe whatever was happening? It better remained as a bad dream.

"Kashanon Village near the border of Country Y, we are in country M. Don't you even know where you are? You are a crazy person, get the hell out of my house." He said coldly.
