Chapter 611 - An Alliance Of Two, Time To Strike Back (2/2)

Even if someone had to get hurt, it should be someone on their side.

Why was that br*t, the Third Prince, hurt instead!

The Emperor frowned, and asked in a solemn voice, “What exactly happened here?”

“Father!” Master Li quickly rushed into General Li’s arms, intending to snivel about what happened.

A loud thud disrupted the commotion.

Someone kneeled to the ground. The sound was loud and clear.

It was Helian Wei Wei.

She only had one thought at that moment.

No one would be able to escape unscathed after beating up Baili Jia Jue!

That Li br*t hurt his head.

She would take the life of his family in return!

Thinking of this, Helian Wei Wei closed her eyes, but her words stirred their hearts. “Your Majesty, I do not know if Master Li has any misunderstandings with His Highness. Once His Highness reached the school, Master Li brought along the other young n.o.blemen and forced His Highness to swallow the earthworms in his hands. Master Li said that it was a revenge for the Eldest Prince’s eunuch, Eunuch Zuo. Your Majesty ought to know that the Third Prince is not a sociable person. It’s true that he had rubbed Eunuch Zuo the wrong way, and it is understandable for him to be doubted by others. However, even if they had their suspicions, it should be investigated by Your Majesty. Master Li must have felt indignant, hence he wanted to punish the Third Prince. I was surprised when I witnessed it. How dare a n.o.bleman not of royal blood bully the Prince? How insolent are they, having no respect toward the Prince? As I wanted to stop him, I heard him say…”

Helian Wei Wei stopped talking. She hesitated as she took a peek at Li Yu…

“What did he say!” The Emperor’s eyes dimmed, and his face was void of any emotion.

The Eldest Prince beside the Emperor knew that his father was raging. He glared at Helian Wei Wei.

He cursed in his heart!

D*mn it!

Where did this servant come from! Such a big mouth!

Helian Wei Wei felt the Eldest Prince’s stare. She s.h.i.+vered as she was intimidated by him.

The Emperor turned over and looked at the Eldest Prince with indifference.

Just that one look, the Eldest Prince was completely petrified. “Father, d-don’t listen to that palace maid. She’s spouting nonsense. She’s always beside the Third Prince, of course, she would side with him…”

“Shut up!” Emperor growled. Then, he took a deep breath and looked at his son whom he was most cautious about. “Third Prince, tell me, what did Li Yu say just now?”

The boy held up his head, blood was still flowing from the corner of his eye, staining his entire face red. “He said that he had come to take my eldest brother’s revenge on me. He also said that I should listen to him. Or else, with his father’s army that even you will fear, I, the unfavored prince, will be punished if I touched him.”

The little boy’s tone was dull and emotionless, yet he skillfully added in ‘take my eldest brother’s revenge on me’.

These were the words that mattered most to the Emperor!

He was not afraid of his generals having greater achievements than him, nor him having countless followers. As long as the generals belonged to him, there was no problem at all.

But now, it was fairly obvious that the Li family had severely deviated from the right path…

Emperor sneered. He did not look at the Li family, instead, he looked at his eldest son beside him. He thought he’s all grown up now and he wants to take my throne?

“F-Father…” Cold sweat dripped down from the Eldest Prince’s forehead when he saw his father glaring at him.
