"court death!"
Seeing this, Li Zhu could no longer conceal his anger and slapped one of the food boxes, shattering it into pieces in an instant…
"Xiao Zhu, it's alright. Your mother is fine. It's normal for women who have lived in the palace for so long to have some extreme thoughts. Don't take it personally..."
Fearing that Li Zhu might do something outrageous, Nangong Qing quickly comforted him!
"Mother, your son is incompetent, causing you to suffer..."
Li Zhu said sadly, feeling that he had brought all this upon himself. They say one shouldn't bring misfortune upon family, but in this era, these people don't consider the consequences of their actions; they're completely unscrupulous…
It's like Yang Guifei sending a ghost arrow to ambush him in the palace; only a madman would do that!
He killed Yang Sixu, which must have enraged Yang Guifei, causing her to lose her mind and do something so extreme…
Countless thoughts flooded Li Zhu's mind. He felt that he was still too kind and still followed the rules in many things. The other party had even resorted to such despicable means as poisoning. What else wouldn't they do?
Faced with the enraged Li Zhu, Nangong Qing quickly said
“Xiao Zhu, I know you are filial. I know these people too well, so I didn’t touch a single thing they sent. These people only have such extreme thoughts because they lack the emperor’s favor. They are all pitiful people…”
Li Zhu knew his mother was afraid he would do something reckless, so he couldn't help but comfort her.
"Mother, rest assured, I will not act rashly, but I will let these people know that there are some people they cannot afford to offend..."
"well…"
Nangong Qing said happily, then pulled him towards the hall, talking as they walked.
"I've prepared some food; please eat something before you leave..."
"Mother, did Father really come to your place?"
After sitting down, Li Zhu couldn't help but frown and ask. He felt that the other party was doing it on purpose. He killed Yang Sixu, and the other party then favored his mother, making her a thorn in the side of the harem. This way, without his father, the emperor, having to do it himself, he could use someone else to achieve his goal of intimidating him...
"They have indeed arrived..."
Upon hearing his mother's admission, Li Zhu was almost certain that his cheap father, the emperor, had done it on purpose!
Bang!
Li Zhu had just taken a couple of bites of food when the door was kicked open. A group of people were standing there, and the leading guard had just put his foot down, clearly indicating that he was the one who had kicked the door open!
"Where have you been, you wretched woman? The Imperial Concubine has arrived, why aren't you paying your respects?"
The sharp sound made Li Zhu and Nangong Qing frown!
bass!
Pfft!
Glug glug!
The sword was drawn, the weapon pierced the body, the head rolled off—all in one swift motion…
However, the knife belonged to the guard; Li Zhu simply snatched it before the guard could react…
Li Zhu glared angrily at the group. Regardless of who they were, he wasn't going to tolerate them. His reputation for bloodthirstiness was already widespread; he wanted to instill fear in these enemies first, so they would hesitate to act recklessly. After all, everyone understands the principle of "killing a snake without killing it"...
The group of people froze on the spot before they even entered, not even realizing that their own people had been killed...
Yang Guifei was already seething with anger, so she went to the Emperor to complain. The Emperor promised to help her vent her anger, but then she heard that Li Zhu was still alive and well and had been entrusted with important responsibilities. How could she possibly bear such humiliation?
She came here today to cause trouble for Nangong Qing, but strangely enough, every time she made it, she would run into some kind of trouble halfway there. Either her horse's leg would suddenly break, or the sedan bearer's leg would suddenly break, forcing her to slink back. This time, she finally made it here, and after saying just one sentence, her subordinates' heads were chopped off. This made Yang Guifei even forget why she came here in the first place...
Nangong Qing was also stunned for a moment. She didn't expect this person to be so persistent. In order to avoid Li Zhu discovering anything suspicious, she called back the people she had sent out. She thought that after a few times, Yang Guifei would not come again. This made her feel sorry for her in her heart. You can't stop someone who is courting death.
"Get out of here before I get angry..."
Li Zhu spoke coldly to the group of people in front of him, then turned to his mother and said remorsefully.
"Mother, I was reckless and have soiled your bedchamber..."
"Xiao Zhu, don't worry about it. I'll have Xiao Su clean it up in a bit..."
Hearing the mother and son chatting away, completely ignoring them, Yang Guifei finally realized what was happening. She immediately pointed at Li Zhu and roared...
"You bastard, do you know who I am?"
As a lady from a respectable family, the harshest insult he could think of was "bastard"!
Does it matter who you are?
Li Zhu didn't even raise an eyelid, completely disregarding the other person. He knew this was probably one of his cheap father's concubines, whose status was definitely much higher than his mother's; otherwise, she wouldn't have called his mother a "bitch"...
But that doesn't matter. He's the crown prince now, and no one can disrespect his mother...
"How dare you! This is Yang Guifei, the most favored concubine in the palace..."
The eunuch beside him immediately spoke in a shrill, piercing voice, pointing at Li Zhu with his delicate, orchid-like fingers. Looking at his clenched teeth, one might have thought he was about to devour Li Zhu. After speaking, he wiped his mouth with his handkerchief, as if speaking to Li Zhu had defiled his own mouth…
Yang Guifei, standing nearby, watched her subordinates perform with an air of arrogance, clearly pleased with their behavior. Here, it was essential to showcase her pride and nobility…
Pfft…
The sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh rang out. This time, Li Zhu held the knife in his hand, skipping the step of drawing the knife. Moreover, he had only cut off the eunuch's finger, and there was no sound of a head rolling to the ground!
"Ah...you little brat, how dare you commit such a heinous act in front of Her Majesty! You're dead..."
The eunuch's voice became even shriller, and his fingers were cut off, accompanied by cries of pain. Remembering how his fingers had been cut off just for pointing at Li Zhu, he only roared angrily at Li Zhu this time, without pointing at him again!
"I am Li Zhu, the Crown Prince Regent. Who dares to kill me?"
Li Zhu coldly stared at the group of people in front of him, and they were all intimidated by his aura. For a moment, no one dared to speak!
However, Consort Yang quickly realized what was happening. She looked at Li Zhu with suspicion and subconsciously said...
"You're not dead?"
"I'd rather die than you..."
Li Zhu said irritably, while inwardly confirming that the Arrow Soul was indeed sent by her. Truly, a woman's heart is the most poisonous; she could even do something as simple as sending someone to intercept and kill the Crown Prince…
After Li Zhu's words, Yang Guifei realized she had lost her composure and quickly regained her composure, looking at him with an arrogant expression...
