Chapter 4128: 4.1728 Retaliation

"It's clearly you wicked servants who neglected my son!"

"Now you're trying to push the blame onto him." Empress Liu pointed at the protesting eunuch and shrieked, "Guards, guards! Drag this dog servant away and beat him to death! Beat him to death!!"

The personal eunuch was terrified, trembling uncontrollably. He scrambled on his hands and knees to Prince Rui's feet, kowtowing repeatedly. "Your Highness, what this servant said is all true. All the palace maids and eunuchs in Huayang Palace can testify!"

"The deposed Crown Prince's disposition has changed drastically recently. He won't allow us servants near him. Every time we servants tried to follow, we were all sent back by the deposed Crown Prince. If we insisted on following, it would enrage the deposed Crown Prince, and we would even be beaten to death, wuwuwu."

"Nonsense, utter nonsense!!!" The Empress was furious. Embracing Rong Li's cold body, tears streaming down her face, she shrieked, "What deposed Crown Prince? What deposed Crown Prince!! How dare you treat my son like this? To humiliate him so! No wonder he didn't want you to follow and serve him closely! Ah! I will kill you cunning, mean dog servants, I will kill you!"

Prince Li couldn't help but roll his eyes.

What else would he be if not the deposed Crown Prince?

Since His Majesty stripped him of his Crown Prince title and didn't confer any new title or peerage, what else would he be called but the deposed Crown Prince?

The eunuchs and palace maids trembled in fear, sprawling on the ground, not daring to get up.

Duan Yue, utterly impatient, angrily snapped, "Enough! If you want to make a scene, take it back inside! What kind of decorum is this, carrying on in the garden?"

"It's you! You killed my son! It's you!!" Empress Liu was like a mad dog at this point, biting at anyone she could.

Everyone else was utterly speechless.

"Empress, His Majesty was already in critical condition yesterday. We, along with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, were in His Majesty's sleeping quarters, not taking a single step outside! During that time, His Royal Highness sat by His Majesty's bedside without removing his clothes, never leaving!"

"If he wanted to harm my Li'er, would he need to do it himself? Would he??" Empress Liu shrieked, clutching her precious son, looking like a madwoman as she stared intensely at Duan Yue. "Tell me, tell me! Was it you? Was it you who harmed my Li'er??? Ah!"

Duan Yue stared at her with an indifferent gaze, a mocking smile playing on the corner of his lips.

"Heh, you think too highly of your son. Me, to deal with him? A single finger could eliminate him. Do I need such elaborate schemes?"

"In fact, your son was already eliminated by me, vanished without a trace, not even a hair left."

Liu Enxiang, this is merely the beginning of the prelude. Can't you handle this much?

Duan Yue's eyes held a heavy coldness: Rest assured, I will make you wish for death but unable to achieve it! You will regret and suffer every single day for the foolish crimes you once committed.

Empress Liu gazed at Duan Yue's splendid, shimmering peach blossom eyes, so beautiful, yet inexplicably sending a chill down her spine.

"Soul Revival Pill! Soul Revival Pill! Soul Revival Pill!" Empress Liu suddenly seemed to remember something. Clutching her son, she moved a bit.

She looked at Prince Rui and Prince Li with a hopeful expression, calling out repeatedly, "Two Imperial Uncles, two Imperial Uncles, save him! As long as we go to Shenzhou and beg for a Soul Revival Pill, my son can surely be saved!"

"My son is a cultivator." "Although his cultivation isn't high, his cultivation wasn't completely ruined, and his Sea of Consciousness wasn't destroyed."

"As long as there's a Soul Revival Pill, he can definitely save her son."

"I heard the Crown Princess of Shenzhou can refine Soul Revival Pills..."
