Chapter 2446: What the Hell Does That Have to Do with Me?
After the Weirdo finished speaking, his body flickered and a streak of cold light shot straight toward the Empress Dowager...
"Ah...!"
The Empress Dowager felt a stab of pain on the left side of her face. She reached up to touch it and her hand came away full of blood. She couldn’t help but let out a shrill scream: "Eldest Prince, Eldest Prince, spare me, please, I beg you, let me go."
"What’s wrong? I just gave you the lightest little scratch and you’re already in so much pain. Do you know? Back then when you chopped off my hands and feet, I hurt so much I wished I were dead. I begged you, begged you to let me go. I’ll never forget what Consort De said—how you smiled and told the palace maids, ’The Eldest Prince is really stupidly naive. I’ve already turned him into this, and he still wants to walk out of here alive? Simply childish.’" The Weirdo spoke in a cold, sinister tone.
This damned woman had ruined him so miserably; she deserved to have a taste of the blade herself, to learn what "worse than death" really meant. Otherwise, when the wounds were on someone else, she only laughed, forgetting that others were human too, made of flesh and blood.
Lv Yinfeng: "Master, dawn’s almost here. Forget it, just kill this Old Witch! At least we’ll have vented our anger, and it’ll make that Dog Emperor suffer a bit too."
The Empress Dowager was scared half to death when she heard that: "Don’t... don’t... don’t kill me, I beg you."
It hadn’t been easy for her to become Empress Dowager; she had no wish to die so soon.
Weirdo: "Where does the Dog Emperor live? Do you know?"
Lv Yinfeng shook his head. He had only just come out of the underground palace and wasn’t very familiar with things outside: "I don’t know."
The Weirdo glared viciously at the Empress Dowager: "Speak. Where does that doggy son of yours live?"
The Empress Dowager was terrified out of her wits, and her tone suddenly changed: "Just kill me, I beg you, don’t hurt my Imperial Son. Everything back then was planned by me alone; it has nothing to do with him. He knows nothing."
This Old Witch, in order to protect her doggy son, took all the blame onto herself. Sure enough, those words "a mother becomes strong for her child" weren’t wrong. What was wrong was that to put her son on the throne as The Emperor, she had killed so many innocent people.
"He doesn’t know? Consort De is really good at covering for your son’s crimes." The Weirdo didn’t believe it. Although he hadn’t yet found proof, Zhang Xiutuo absolutely wasn’t as innocent as Consort De claimed. He remembered that back during the succession struggle, Zhang Xiutuo had been very active, pulling Ministers to his side all over court. Because of this, he had even been warned by The Emperor.
Calling him clean and innocent was simply a joke.
Afraid they would harm The Emperor, the Empress Dowager actually dropped to her knees and began kowtowing: "Eldest Prince, I beg you, don’t harm The Emperor. If Moli Country loses him, it will surely collapse."
The Weirdo was unimpressed: "Funny, what I heard was that the entire Moli Country is being propped up by the War Prince right now. Him being The Emperor is just for show."
The Empress Dowager: "No matter what, The Emperor is still the ruler of a nation. If there’s not even an Emperor anymore, what hope will the people have?"
The Weirdo deliberately needled her: "Isn’t there still the War Prince?"
At those words, the previously panicked Empress Dowager suddenly raised her head and looked at the Weirdo, saying, "And you call yourself a descendant of the Royal Family, yet you can so easily cast aside your ancestors and hand the throne over to an outsider’s surname. You can actually say something like that, Eldest Prince. Since you have returned, you should be working with The Emperor to properly govern Moli Country."
The Weirdo let out a cackling laugh, and after a while, his laughter abruptly stopped as he cursed viciously: "You cheap bitch, stop trying to mess with me. What the hell does this throne have to do with me? You and your son have been enjoying it for decades already. What now, you’re still daydreaming about making me risk my life for the pair of you?"
