2432 Unbeatable
Princess Jiankang could totally have someone copy it in her stead.
Of course, she could also just copy several times and then drag it out.
What he wanted was for this woman, Jiankang, to suffer.
After all, she dared to order that Qiaoqiao be killed. In that case, she could have a taste of it herself first.
Only if Jiankang suffered would Empress Liu feel heartache.
The empress could completely assert that Nanny Li had turned on her master and thus framed her.
That good father of his was not going to depose this empress for this unfounded trivial matter. It would at most be another thorn in his heart.
To depose this empress, he had to first wipe out the Liu Clan's influence, the power deeply intertwined with her clout. This naturally could not be rushed, but it was satisfying to make this damn empress suffer right now too.
The emperor gazed profoundly at this son in front of him. His fouth son's excellence had long surpassed everybody else. Certainly all the officials at court had seen for themselves.
It was just that Rong Li was the son birthed by his official wife, Empress Liu. As long as Rong Li's sickness did not make him immobile, no one could shake his position as the crown prince.
"What else do you want to do?"
"It is not what I want to do, but that Imperial Father, if you do not properly punish Jiankang today, her arrogance, unruliness, and imperiousness will be renowned throughout the world in the future. Since she dares to disrespect me, her elder brother, today, she may do the same to Imperial Father later on. This kind of imperial princess will only bring the imperial family shame outside. I find this kind of imperial sister disgraceful."
Wrath shot out from the empress's eyes. This was a barefaced threat.
He was saying that if Jiankang didn't get properly punished today, he was going to completely ruin her reputation!
She truly had underestimated this Rong Yue. His aggressive behavior today was what he was like originally, right?
The emperor pinched the area between his brows. He waved his hand and declared, "Jiankang has made an unreasonable scene in public and completely lacks moral integrity. She will be demoted to the rank of commandery princess and flogged 10 times as a warning to others. An etiquette nanny will be teaching her manners again later on."
"Your Majesty!" Empress Liu felt faint as she stared at the emperor's stern face with bulging eyes.
"Also you, Empress! Such a thing happened to Nanny Li who serves you, and our daughter has been spoiled to this extent. You are also grounded for seven days to reflect on yourself!"
Duan Yue looked coldly at Empress Liu before cupping his hands toward the emperor. "This son will take his leave now."
The moment he turned around and strode out the door, a silver flame abruptly descended on Nanny Li's body.
Everybody watched on in stupefaction as Nanny Li screamed tragically while getting incinerated to ashes by the silver flame.
The blood in Empress Liu's entire body ran cold.
The Ultramarine Province Emperor was also dumbfounded for a long time. After coming to his senses, he shook his head helplessly and with emotion.
This is the consequence for bullying my mother. Even though Fourth Duan did not say anything when he left, this was his message to everyone.
When Rong Qing returned to his room, he discovered that his father had long been waiting inside for him.
"Did you not act a bit rashly today?" The Qing Vassal King's chubby face showed slight worry. "You have completely offended the crown prince, Empress Liu, and the Liu Clan."
Vassal Prince Rong smiled faintly. "I think that Empress Liu and the Liu Clan are the ones who have to worry."
"Dad, you think that this matter has ended like this? You have all underestimated the fourth prince."
