Yang Guifei uttered wild words.
"A child born of a lowly person is a lowly one. So utterly lacking in manners! Even if you are the Crown Prince and I am a Noble Consort, you still need to bow to me when walking in the palace..."
I can forgive your ignorance, but you and your mother must kneel down and apologize to me, or this matter will not be over today!
If this gets to the Emperor, given how favored I am, you two will both be dead…”
Upon hearing Yang Guifei's words, Li Zhu rolled his eyes at her, thinking, "This fool probably hasn't grasped the situation."
"Are you still half asleep? Get out of here! I don't want to see any more blood. Today is supposed to be a happy day to be with my mother, don't spoil my fun..."
Li Zhu completely ignored her threat, because it posed no threat to him whatsoever; for the time being, no one could threaten him…
"Li Zhu, don't you know your place? If it weren't for uniting Xiliang, do you think you could have become the crown prince? A discarded prince dares to be so arrogant, he's truly courting death..."
I'm different. I'm the Emperor's most favored concubine. Not only do I enjoy endless riches and honors, but I can also whisper in the Emperor's ear. All I have to do is speak to the Emperor, and tomorrow I can send you away from Luoyang to Xiliang to wait for your death...
I'll give you one more chance. Kneel before me and beg me, along with your wretched mother. I'll see how you behave, and then I'll consider whether to spare you..."
Yang Guifei's words were full of superiority, and her sharp and mean manner was disgusting!
"Are you done talking?"
Li Zhu looked at the swaggering Yang Guifei and asked!
"That's all!"
Yang Guifei replied instinctively!
"You're not leaving now? Don't you even check the time? It's broad daylight, you're acting like you haven't slept properly..."
Li Zhu said without giving any face whatsoever!
"you…"
Consort Yang was so angry she couldn't speak. Pointing at Li Zhu, she could only utter "you," and then she didn't know what else to say...
But the eunuch who was clutching his finger protested. He had suffered a great loss today; his already incomplete body was now missing a piece, making it difficult to serve the Imperial Concubine in the future. Relying on his master's status as the Imperial Concubine, he continued, stubbornly insisting...
"How dare you! Her Highness the Imperial Concubine has already given you a chance, why aren't you thanking her obediently..."
"Your voice is awful. If you speak again, believe me, I'll cut your tongue out!"
Li Zhu wondered if these people were overconfident. He couldn't help but think, "Do I need you to give me a chance?"
"Li Zhu, I am the Emperor's most favored concubine, you..."
Before Yang Guifei could finish speaking, Li Zhu interrupted her directly.
"Shut up! Look at your sharp-tongued face. Are you trying to say that out of three thousand beauties in the harem, the emperor only favors you? Don't you even think about why the emperor favors you? Is it because he likes your sharp, mean, and vicious face? Have you ever thought about what would happen if you fell out of favor one day? How would those people in the harem you bullied treat you? Go back and think about it carefully, and now get out..."
Li Zhu's words caused Yang Guifei's face to flush red and then pale. Having survived the palace intrigues, she naturally understood what Li Zhu was saying...
However, she felt that Li Zhu was exaggerating and trying to scare her away, so she didn't leave. Instead, she said fiercely...
"I'm here today to show you that there are some people you can't afford to offend. You killed my brother, and you won't get away with it so easily without paying a price..."
I'm angry now. Even if you kneel down in front of me and beg, I will not forgive you…
Li Zhu really wanted to know how this guy's brain was structured. Was it made of mush?
Who gave her such courage to provoke the Crown Prince?
"When did I say I was going to plead with you? Don't you understand the meaning of 'get lost'? It means you should leave here in a very tactful way..."
Li Zhu was speechless at this arrogant concubine. How could she be so self-important?
"You useless crown prince have offended me time and time again. Today I will tell the Emperor about your actions and have him banish you from Luoyang. Then I will come back here to torment your mother, and I will make you and your mother pay for your deeds..."
"Your Highness is right. They need to know that offending the Imperial Concubine will not end well..."
The eunuch immediately echoed, but his gaze toward Li Zhu was fierce and sinister!
"Guards, seize this ill-mannered prince! I'll teach him a lesson in manners today..."
Yang Guifei was determined to take revenge. Her own brother had died, and she would never let it go!
"Hurry up and do it! Didn't you hear Her Majesty's order?"
Seeing the guard hesitate, the eunuch immediately took advantage of his master's power and started scolding him, shaking his head and looking just like a dog about to bite!
"I am the Crown Prince Regent. Don't even mention you lowly soldiers; I've already beheaded the Vice Minister of War today. If you even touch me, your entire family will be exterminated..."
Although Li Zhu's words were meant to intimidate the guards, they were also true. Given his status, who wouldn't be afraid?
So even if they were forced to act by their own masters, they didn't dare to actually do it. Everyone who works in the palace has a family...
"Useless trash, what are you afraid of with me here? Besides, he's just a useless crown prince, someone who'll be sent away sooner or later. What are you afraid of him for? If you don't make a move, I'll raid your homes one by one..."
Consort Yang was so angry that she even resorted to threats. This caused the guards' expressions to change drastically. They were all old hands of Consort Yang and knew their mistress's temperament all too well. If they didn't take action, Consort Yang would really dare to confiscate their property!
This is really too difficult a job for these guards...
"Aren't you going to make a move yet..."
Under the eunuch's reprimands, the guards finally succumbed to the pressure and charged towards Li Zhu...
"Imperial edict has arrived!"
Before Li Zhu could retaliate, Tang Gonggong's voice could be heard...
Seeing the frail and elderly Eunuch Tang, Li Zhu was clearly a little dazed, wondering if the person who had just slapped Arrow Soul to the ground was really Eunuch Tang.
"You're dead. His Majesty is definitely doing this to avenge me. He promised me during your morning court session that he would execute you after a brief investigation..."
Consort Yang said with a smug look on her face, she felt that His Majesty was too good to her. Knowing that he could not control Li Zhu, he even personally issued an imperial edict, so that the guards would have no worries. She began to fantasize about what position she should use to serve the Emperor today to repay the Emperor's favor.
"Hmph! It's too late to beg for mercy now. Given His Majesty's favor towards my lady, you and your son can just wait to be beheaded..."
The eunuch said in a sarcastic tone!
