Chapter 1203: The Aura of Solemnity
Unexpectedly, Xuexue added another sentence: "Don’t think that just because you’re a Prince, an Imperial Kinsman, you can control everything and bully others at will. The Emperor always says, ’When a prince breaks the law, he is subject to the same punishment as the commoners.’ Moreover, you are just a Prince. Xuexue advises you not to think too highly of yourself, or else the fall will be miserable."
Clearly, she was just a village girl, yet her words were sharp, reminding him between the lines that he was still below the Emperor and could not be outrageous at the General’s Mansion as a prince without power.
Situ Xueer’s sharp words pierced right into Prince Pu’s sore spot.
Outsiders didn’t know that although he seemed to hold a high position, in reality, apart from his princely title, he was no different from an ordinary commoner. Even his official salary was getting smaller and smaller. If it weren’t for the support from shops outside, Prince Pu’s Mansion wouldn’t even have enough to eat.
"You damn girl, no matter what happens to this prince, it’s not your place to chastise me."
"How would Xuexue dare to chastise the Prince? Just a reminder for the Prince, that’s all."
"You...!"
While the quarrel continued on this side, on that side, Princess Consort Pu was howling, holding Auntie Tang’s corpse, crying loudly, "My poor daughter! So young, yet lost your life? Who on earth harmed you? If you have a spirit in heaven, please send your mother a dream."
The cries of Princess Consort Pu stimulated Prince Pu’s nerves, causing his mind to go blank as if it had exploded. Suddenly, his eyes opened wide, he clenched his fist, and like a flash, lunged at Xuexue beside him...
The incident happened too suddenly.
