Chapter 4018: 4.1618 The Empress's Retribution

"Mother," the Crown Prince immediately nestled beside his mother, adopting a deeply wronged, pitiful look. "Mother, don't be sad. If Father doesn't want us, your son will take you out of the palace to live!"

The little Crown Princess nodded in agreement, adding a perfectly timed jab: "Our family is rich."

Mo Liusheng looked up at the sky, speechless. Watching the three of them, his lips twitched between laughter and tears.

Their dramatic performance truly made it seem like they had suffered immense grievances.

Empress Dowager Chen had already been so angered by the Crown Prince and the little Crown Princess that she almost vomited blood. Now, seeing the Empress's protective demeanor, she trembled even more with rage.

She slapped the armrest and sharply declared, "Your Majesty! Are you just going to let them run wild like this?!"

The Emperor wore an innocent, pitiful expression, as if to say: What can I do? My wife is here. Besides compromising, I truly have no other choice!

Empress Dowager Chen looked at the Emperor's innocent face, utterly enraged. She pointed at him, her finger trembling as she repeatedly said, "You, you!"

"This Empress has been unconscious for over ten years; it seems many people have forgotten what kind of person this Empress used to be," Bai Wuxia calmly interrupted Empress Dowager Chen, glancing at her. "Empress Dowager, I seem to recall telling you, old lady, twenty years ago: 'Mind your own business when it comes to my husband and me,' didn't I?"

Empress Dowager Chen's eyelid twitched. She clenched her fingers in anger. "You, what do you mean?"

"Why have you been this way for decades?" Bai Wuxia's expression completely turned cold as she stared at Empress Dowager Chen. "You tormented me in the past, and now you torment the Crown Princess. Can you ever have a day where you don't cause trouble?"

"I tormented her??" Empress Dowager Chen was so furious she almost choked and spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Her finger trembled as she pointed in the direction of the little Crown Princess, her lips quivering. "She, she! Her?"

Is this brat someone I can just torment?

The Crown Prince quickly pulled the quietly sitting little Crown Princess into his embrace, patted her back soothingly, and turned to Empress Dowager Chen with annoyance. "Empress Dowager, my wife is still young; don't scare her with your terrifying expression!"

Mo Liusheng's lips twitched uncontrollably, his eye twitching repeatedly.

He finally understood what kind of act these two conniving individuals were putting on today.

They were playing the role of weak, pitiable victims in front of their mother...

If these two weren't his son and daughter-in-law, he would definitely smack them dead!

Too troublesome, the Emperor thought, turning to look at Empress Dowager Chen, whose veins were bulging, and silently mourned for her in his heart.

Empress Dowager Chen trembled all over with rage. "Bai Wuxia, get this straight! Today, I didn't do anything to them. It was they who had several old servants from my palace beaten to death!"

"If they had even an ounce of respect for me, their grandmother, they would absolutely not have done such cruel, heartless, and cold-blooded things!"

"This is going to drive me to my death!" Empress Dowager Chen cried out, pounding her chest in fury. "If Your Majesty thinks this old woman is no longer needed, then banish me to the cold palace, wuwuwu. What meaning is there for this old woman to live like this?"

Mo Liusheng's eyelids twitched. He was about to stop her words.

Then he heard Bai Wuxia calmly say, "Since the Empress Dowager requests the cold palace herself, then grant her wish."

Empress Dowager Chen's face was utterly dumbfounded.

Princess Yan Yun, standing nearby, was also somewhat stunned.

Wh-wh-what? What??? Empress Dowager Chen's mouth hung open, unable to close for a long time.
