Chapter 354 A quarrel breaks out

The Second Prince was so angry that he was speechless, and the Emperor was also so angry that he was speechless, "Rebellious son, how dare you hide!"

The father and son's anger escalated and the argument became more intense.

The Qianqing Palace was in such a commotion that the serving palace maids and eunuchs were terrified. Some of them had already rushed to Guanju Palace to report to Concubine Yan.

At first, Concubine Yan did not take it seriously. There was nothing wrong with the quarrel between the father and son. The emperor had said before that he envied the relationship between fathers and sons in ordinary people. The second prince contradicted him and dared to act freely in front of him. The emperor would only be happy and not angry.

The father and son have had too many quarrels recently. Both of them are feeling awkward, so having a fight and venting their anger is actually a good thing.

But Concubine Yan didn't expect that not long after, someone came from the Qianqing Palace to report again.

This time it was the eunuch in charge who came. He was so anxious that he almost cried. He said that the emperor and the second prince were about to fight in the Qianqing Palace!

Concubine Yan didn't believe her son would dare to fight his father, but she was also shocked by these words! This shows that this matter is really very serious. It is more serious than ever before.

Never before had the conflict between father and son gotten so serious in the Palace of Heavenly Purity.

This time, Concubine Yan could no longer remain calm and hurried over.

Before she entered the hall, she heard the emperor's roar and her son's angry rebuttals and accusations. Concubine Yan felt dizzy and rushed in in a rage.

"Mo'er, shut up! Who gave you the guts to act so presumptuously in front of your father?"

Concubine Yan shouted, interrupting the argument between the father and son, and they both looked at her at the same time.

Concubine Yan glared at her son angrily, "Mo'er, why don't you apologize to your father! Your father is doing this for your own good. How can you not understand his heart? It's really disappointing! Think about it carefully. How has your father treated you since you were a child? Isn't your behavior making your father sad? You are already so old, how can you still be so ignorant!"

The emperor snorted heavily, thinking that this son was truly raised in vain.

The second prince didn't expect that his mother would come. Without saying anything else, she started to scold him. It was obvious that the two of them were in the same group, so who was he?

The Second Prince was even more annoyed. "Mother is naturally on Father's side, and everything is my fault! If you dislike me so much, why don't you just say it clearly? Why beat around the bush with so many excuses?"

The Second Prince was truly aggrieved. He had never liked studying. Didn't his father know this? He had doted on him and indulged him for so many years, never saying a word to him. But now, suddenly, he disliked him and insisted on competing with him on this matter, forcing him.

If this isn't intentional trouble, what is it? If this isn't displeasure, what is it?

He likes to beat around the bush, but it's not like him to just say what he wants to say.

"You!" The emperor was shocked and angry, his heart ached slightly, and he stared at his son in disbelief.

How could he have felt so bad when his son saw his good intentions so poorly?

Concubine Yan never expected that her son, who had always had a smooth life, would be so bold, and she was a little scared!

Subconsciously glancing at the emperor, and seeing his ashen face, Concubine Yan secretly thought that something was not good, and she also knew that her son's words had really hurt the emperor's heart.

The emperor really loves him. What he said would be too much even for an ordinary father, let alone the emperor.

"Mo'er!" Without a second thought, Concubine Yan stepped forward and slapped the Second Prince across the face, scolding him coldly, "You're really becoming more and more outrageous. As a son, how can you be so willful? You can't just rely on your father's favor to speak without restraint and act so capriciously. Wouldn't that be a betrayal of your father's love for you? If you have anything to say, can't you just say it nicely? It's time you had some sense!"

The second prince covered his face, which was burning, the blood in his veins was boiling, and the voice in his heart was roaring and clamoring wildly.

Let him talk things out, but he ended up hitting him! What kind of thing is this?

Thoughts? Is this what they meant?

It was clearly they who changed, yet they blamed him for everything! Everything was his fault!

"Hahahaha." The Second Prince laughed wildly towards the sky, "Okay, okay, it's my fault for not speaking properly. Everything is my fault! You guys should have spoken properly, but it was you who started the fight! You——"

The second prince closed his eyes, smiled coldly, turned around and rushed out.

He was filled with shame, anger, and annoyance. He was afraid that he would say something even more unpleasant. He was afraid that he would lose control and do something he shouldn't do, so he decided to just leave!

His running away was seen by the Emperor and Concubine Yan as arrogant and unrepentant. Concubine Yan shouted anxiously, "Mo'er, Mo'er! Stop! You—"

"That's enough!" The emperor leaned on the imperial desk and panted heavily. He glanced at Concubine Yan and sneered, "Don't worry about him!"

How could I just ignore it? Concubine Yan felt inexplicably uneasy and knelt down in tears, "Your Majesty, Mo'er is too willful. He only regards you as his father but not as the emperor. It's so disrespectful. Please calm down, Your Majesty. I will definitely call him back and teach him a lesson. I will make him apologize to Your Majesty! Your Majesty, no matter how bad this evil child is, he is still our child. Please forgive him for his good deeds in the past. Please don't be angry. If you are angry, not only will I be heartbroken, but the child will also be heartbroken and regretful. He is just stubborn."

In the past, if Concubine Yan said something similar, the emperor would have calmed down and would definitely not be angry anymore. But today, the emperor felt a little cold-hearted.

It was a kind of helplessness that was well-intentioned but no one understood. He suddenly felt a little desperate. Could this child's temperament be changed? Really? Deep in his heart, he suddenly felt a little shaken.

The emperor snorted, took a deep breath, and looked at Concubine Yan calmly: "My beloved concubine, please get up. I am not so old and confused. I will not take my anger out on you."

He only mentioned his beloved concubine, but didn't mention the Second Prince at all. Concubine Yan was extremely uneasy, but she had already sensed the Emperor's impatience. If she said anything more, the Emperor would explode.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace!"

Concubine Yan kowtowed and stood up gracefully.

She was naturally petite and slender, with a well-proportioned figure, fair skin, delicate features, and a pair of beautiful eyes that were clear and lively, with a tender and affectionate gaze that moved people to pity her. She was also well-maintained, looking much younger than her actual age, which was exactly the type of person that a domineering, arrogant, and decisive emperor would have preferred.

The emperor looked at the pitiful Concubine Yan and his heart softened a little.
