Chapter 132: A Cornered Dog Jumps over the Wall
“Mother, you can ask me to convey your message. You don’t have to meet that vile man personally.” The Crown Prince detested Su Junqing bitterly.
“Don’t make me repeat myself.” The Empress’s tone was cold, and her sharp gaze was terrifying.
The Crown Prince started. He hurriedly made a fist and palm salute and said, “I wouldn’t dare.”
The Empress waved her hand impatiently and said, “Alright. You may go!”
She had kept her association with the Bloodthirsty Sect a secret from the Crown Prince so that he wouldn’t get involved. The Bloodthirsty Sect’s disciples were madmen with no morals. She couldn’t say for sure whether they would or would not court disaster one day. The Empress wouldn’t have asked the tiger for its pelt if she didn’t have to deal with Bai Linglong and her son, as well as the wretched Imperial Consort Xi. This was all their fault.
Seeing the Empress’s sinister expression, the Crown Prince did not ask anything else. Hurriedly, he left the palace then arranged for a carriage to bring him to the Su Clan.
“Your Highness, we are honored by your presence. Please excuse me for not coming out to meet you,” Su Junqing said, then bowed respectfully to the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince’s slender eyes swept up and down Su Junqing before he replied with an aloof and remote attitude, “No need for formality.”
“Thank you, Your Highness.”
