2429 This Fire Has Come Upon the Empress
"Insolence!!!!" The empress felt as if her chest was about to explode from anger. She huffed and puffed her chest. Her contorted face was furious and sinister.
She smacked her hand on the table, which split off a corner of the wooden tea table. Her entire body trembled uncontrollably due to her fury. "Very well, Rong Yue! You, you! The extent of your careless speech is truly presumptuous! Is, is this what Noble Consort Duan taught you?"
"Ha." Duan Yue looked coldly at the woman in front of him. He pulled out a pouch of medicine the size of one's palm from his sleeve and threw it on the table. "No one needs to teach me. Your hideous example as the empress has been more than enough for this prince to learn from!"
The Ultramarine Province Emperor twitched his mouth twice.
He truly wanted to ask Noble Consort Duan whether she had brought home the right kid.
Who did he inherit this explosive temper from?
The crown prince Rong Li was shocked.
Similarly, the second prince and third prince, as well as the quietly sobbing Princess Jiankang, were all shocked.
They truly did not expect for Duan Yue this punk to diss even the empress. He also chastised her so harshly and with such conviction. She was so infuriated that she had trouble speaking.
"Bring the person in!" Duan Yue hollered.
The emperor was confounded by his son's actions. He truly did not know how the empress's interrogation regarding this son slapping his sister had evolved into this.
There was no denying that his son's crowd control capabilities were extraordinary.
At this time, everyone was stupefied. From the empress to the servants, all of them did not know that this Chen Prince had actually prepared a countermove.
A hidden guard dragged inside a bloodied woman from outside the residence.
The old woman's legs had clearly been broken and were like rags as she got dragged across the. They left behind two long streaks of blood. It was quite horrifying.
The empress's whole body was shaking all over from anger. Her eyes were practically shooting out tangible killing intent and wrath.
"Rong Yue!!" She screeched hysterically. Even the emperor beside her jumped in fright.
"Nanny Li!" Rong Yuhu had been standing on the side of the main hall with Vassal Prince Rong.
When she saw the old woman flung in the center of the main hall at this time, her entire face was filled with shock and confusion. She reflexively looked at the empress.
Wasn't that one of Her Majesty the Empress's long-time servants?
"Your Majesty! Just look with your eyes wide open at how this unfilial son humiliates and shames his official mother!!" Empress Liu choked with sobs as she stared venomously at Duan Yue below.
It was only then that the emperor spoke out and asked angrily, "Old Fourth, what are you doing right now?"
Duan Yue looked at the emperor mockingly. "Does Imperial Father not see? I have found the true culprit who tried to poison my mother consort. I am settling accounts with them."
The emperor's eyelid jerked. Even though his face was still stern, the corner of his eye was clearly spasming.
"Did Imperial Father not already punish the Beauty Wang who had poisoned your mother consort? Why are you mentioning it again after such a long time?"
Duan Yue looked coldly at the emperor. "Imperial Father, you think I'm an idiot?"
The emperor: …
"This old woman has already confessed."
