1543 Our Positions Are Different

She staked her all on the little fellow and sure enough, she succeeded.

This wife of the eldest prince was too intelligent that it was hard to put people at ease.

Sparing this kind of person who knew how to lay low and go into hiding would eventually bring disaster.

Shu Quan had been paying attention to the crown prince's movements the entire time. When she saw him raise his hand with cold eyes, her heart beat furiously.

"No, Your Highness! Please, please be magnanimous and have mercy. Please spare my children's lives."

"They are innocent, Your Highness!"

"In the eyes of sovereign power, there is no such thing as innocence." Mo Lian stated coldly, "Heavens decide the victor and the loser. Eldest Royal Brother lost, so he has to pay the price."

Setting them free would sow the seeds of disaster in the future!

He, had never been a kind person.

Particularly when clusters of hatred had sprung up in the eyes of this eight-year-old in front of him.

How could he let him be?

Once the seed of hatred was planted inside a person's heart, it would one day grow up into a towering tree.

The consequences were naturally unthinkable if someone with ulterior motives took advantage of this to instigate him.

Before he departed this star domain, he must pave a smooth and broad path for his twelfth brother. He would remove anything that could become his stumbling block without any hesitation.

Do not say he was heartless. It was just that their positions were different.

Suddenly, Shu Quan picked up a thick branch from the ground and without warning, mercilessly made a move against her son.

She grabbed Mo Cheng and suddenly hit his kneecap several times.

Until that child's left kneecap cracked and he fainted from pain.

"Your Highness, please have mercy outside the law! Shu Quan can have my children personally write a pledge bound by Heavenly Law!"

"In the future we will definitely become another person's pawns. I will also educate Cheng'er properly and will definitely not allow him to follow his father's road to ruin from coveting something he should not." Shu Quan's hair had come loose and her body was drenched. When she kowtowed on the ground heavily, a bulging sack of mystic currency fell out from her chest pocket.

When the crown prince's gaze settled on that brocade sack that had been embroidered with an unattractive lotus flower, his eyes softened.

Ever since the little fellow learned to embroider lotus flowers, she liked embroidering them everywhere, including lapels, collars, pouches, and even socks!

The crown prince gazed deeply at Shu Quan before looking at Mo Cheng's left leg without any warmth.

Shu Quan was very smart. From the looks of it, this child's leg would not heal in the future.

A cripple naturally could not walk up the vermilion steps to the royal throne. After losing his exploitative value, he naturally would not be approached by people with ulterior motives.

Shu Quan was doing this to put his mind at ease.

The crown prince swept an indifferent glance at her before saying with a nod, "Hope you will keep your word."

Huifeng and his dozen men who were behind the crown prince couldn't help but be taken aback as they looked up at their crown prince.

When they saw that the crown prince had already turned around to leave, Huifeng and the others looked at each other in dismay before quickly catching up.

"Your Highness, you are just going to let off the eldest prince's son like that?"

Mo Lian nodded nonchalantly. When he thought of that bulging mystic currency sack embroidered with a lotus flower, he murmured with a sigh, "It is best not to disappoint her."

Since his stoic-faced darling wanted to save them, then let them be saved.

"But Your Highness…"

Mo Lian abruptly looked back at Huifeng. "If Mo Cheng makes any abnormal movements when he grows up, kill him without mercy."

Shu Quan, oh Shu Quan. You must not disappoint my darling, otherwise, I will make your life a living hell!

A stern look flitted across the crown prince's eyes before vanishing.
