Chapter 1530: Our Son by Blood
Because Consort Dowager Shu was held as a hostage, the soldiers were a bit overcautious in apprehending the eldest prince. But now that they were taking down Consort Dowager Shu too, they naturally did not have to worry about their life or death.
Hui Feng personally detained Mo Jiao, kicking him to the ground.
Mo Jiao arched his neck and barked furiously, “Mo Lian! You savagely ambitious fella, quickly let go of me! I am Royal Father’s eldest son! You cannot treat me this way!”
“Who do you think you are! Mo Lian! Everyone knows that the queen adopted you! You aren’t Royal Father’s son by blood at all! I am, I’m Royal Father’s eldest son by blood!”
“Shut up!” The king roared in thunderous wrath.
He hated hearing these words the most. All these years, he had watched the young crown prince grow up from a cute chubby baby into such an outstanding young man.
This was his son! No one could sever their father and son relationship!
These, and also those people, including that group of dastards from the Divine Province’s House of Elders! They all wanted to snatch his son away. It was simply shameless!
The second prince Mo Lu’s eyes flickered. He immediately went up with his sword and swung down at the eldest prince’s neck. “Mo Jiao, you colluded with outsiders to revolt and force Royal Father’s abdication. Yet how dare you vilify and slander His Highness the Crown Prince! The facts are irrefutable. Are you still planning to deny it? Today, allow me to clean house[1] for Royal Father!”
*Ding!*?A jet of mystic energy swiftly hit the second prince’s sword askew.
Therefore, this strike that was originally going to behead the eldest prince only chopped his shoulder instead.
The eldest prince yowled and struggled to stand up. However, with several soldiers restraining his arms, he was unable to budge no matter how he tried.
“Second Royal Brother, you are quite impatient.” Mo Lian’s gaze turned dim as he sneered at the discomfited second prince. “For better or worse, Eldest Royal Brother is still our eldest brother. Even if he is to be punished, with Grandmother, Royal Father, and Royal Mother present, it will not come to us brothers turning on each other.”
The second prince instantly gave an awkward chortle as he nodded deferentially and backed down. “The crown prince is correct. Your Royal Brother, I, overstepped my authority.”
As he spoke, the twelfth prince, in his tattered purple and blue cape, walked over high-spiritedly with the vassal prince and the remnants of the latter’s army in tow.
When the old Vassal King of An’nan saw the vassal prince hobbling over, he immediately wanted to lunge over. He shouted, “Fu’er!”
“Dad!” Soldiers pressed down on his shoulders, but Chou Fu refused to kneel and was barely able to stay erect.
However, the twelfth prince kicked his kneecap, which made him stagger and subsequently kneel down.
When the old Vassal King of An’nan saw his son like this, tears could not help but stream profusely down his face. He had the feelings of being a heroic tiger who ended up getting bullied by a dog in the latter’s territory.
“Royal Father, Royal Mother! Grandmother, Little Twelfth has returned!” The twelfth prince immediately ran up to his mother and grandmother to play cute…
Seeing him, the queen dowager gave him a gratified look.
Little Twelfth was merely thirteen, but he had already revealed his resolute and ruthless side.
“Twelfth Brother can assume great responsibility.”?As expected, the crown prince’s words were not false.
When the queen dowager recalled what the crown prince had said previously when he visited her Longevity Palace, she couldn’t help but sigh gently.
No matter how much she couldn’t bear to part with him, the child had grown up. The tiny Northern Mo was unable to keep him here.
“Fu’er.” The Vassal King Consort of An’nan, Wu Hongmo, was already drenched in tears. The soldiers restrained her from moving to her son’s side, so she could only watch on helplessly as other people humiliated her Fu’er.
The resentment in her heart could not be contained as she glared up viciously at Crown Prince Mo.
