Chapter 408 - Palace Change I (2/2)

“And what will happen to us after that?” asked the emperor detachedly.

“After that, I would naturally let you, my Imperial Father, quietly live out the rest of your years. You’ll be able to live a long life,” replied the first prince.

“And what about them?” inquired the emperor.

“Them? Why, naturally I’d find a good home for them, Imperial Father. Be rest a.s.sured!” sn.i.g.g.e.red the first prince before letting out a peal of maniacal laughter.

Anyone could easily deduce the meaning behind this maniacal laughter. The moment he succeeded in usurping the throne, why would the first prince allow any of these people to continue living on this earth? The so called ‘good home’ he had prepared for them was merely a tomb for their bodies to lay in.

“B*stard. Two-faced b*tch! Let go of me! You’d better let me go quickly,” growled the fifth princess. She was red in the face due to anger as she openly cursed at the first prince.

“As it turns out, the child Imperial Father favors the most is Her Highness, Fifth Princess. Tsk tsk tsk, sometimes I’d even think that if you were a son and not a daughter, Imperial Father would have long since established you as Crown Prince. Still, it would have been a pity. Even if you were the Crown Prince, you’d still be defeated by my hand all the same,” said the first prince sarcastically with a smirk.

“Let me go. Quickly. Otherwise, when my master returns, you will definitely die by her hand without any hope of a proper burial.” Despite coming face to face with such a terrible situation whereby she was being trapped by death, the fifth princess was not the least bit fearful as she rebuked the first prince with an icy expression. “You’re the first prince of this royal family, yet you wish to murder us all in cold blood. The stench on your name will reek for tens of thousands of years to come!”

“Pfft. Are you talking about Ling Chuxi? I’m going to have to disappoint you. She is no longer able to ever return,” snarled the first prince as he ruthlessly swept a glance at the fifth princess.

“What? What are you talking about? Master, she… What did you do to my master? You b*stard! Tell me what you did to my master?!” roared the fifth princess. She understood the meaning of the first prince’s words at once and her expression froze before giving way to tears. She no longer had the iciness and calmness she had displayed previously. Her flowing tears expressed the pain in her heart.
