Chapter 1931: Chapter 1869: Tearing Off the Mask
Wufu could say she knew Ah Jiu’s temper very well. Arriving at Yangxin Hall, seeing Emperor Yan sitting high on the Dragon Throne, Ah Jiu almost rushed up to beat him to death.
That bastard, even if she is a stepmother, the Royal Mother is still his mother. How can he do such a thing? A beast disregarding human ethics.
Ah Jiu’s anger and the flash of killing intent in his eyes were all caught by Emperor Yan. He raised an eyebrow, his eyes narrowing slightly.
What happened?
"Returning from a trip to the temple, have you even forgotten to salute me?" Emperor Yan remarked indifferently.
Ah Jiu forcefully suppressed his anger, cupped his hands, and said: "Your Majesty summoned this minister, what are your orders?"
This tone, laced with anger so thick it was unmistakable, caused Eunuch Lu to glance up at Ah Jiu, wondering if Prince Jin had gone mad.
Emperor Yan leaned back in the Dragon Throne, watching Ah Jiu, and said coldly, "Are you throwing a tantrum at me?"
Ah Jiu stared back at him, seeing no guilt or remorse in his eyes, the anger in his heart growing stronger, and said: "I dare not!"
"Dare not?" Emperor Yan sneered: "You dare not, then what are you doing now?"
Ah Jiu did not respond.
Emperor Yan coldly gazed at him, remembering he came from Cining Palace, a flash of insight flew past his mind, he tightly gripped the White Jade Paperweight beside him, and said: "Ah Jiu, I recall telling you not to cross the line; it seems you have forgotten!"
"Which line is Your Majesty referring to? Is it the line of disrespect towards the Royal Mother?" Ah Jiu sneered coldly.
Emperor Yan’s pupils contracted, and his imperial aura immediately turned sharp and severe, glaring at Ah Jiu intently: "What did you say?"
"What has His Majesty done, don’t tell me you’ve forgotten?"
His undisguised disgust and disdain, along with resentment and anger, as if looking at some filthy garbage, were seen by Emperor Yan, igniting his fury.
Jhin Mo, just because he was nobly born, placed inside his legitimate mother’s womb, what made him superior? How dare he put on such a lofty attitude before me?
"What have I done?" Emperor Yan replied with a question, his thumb stroking the dragon pattern on the paperweight, saying: "Whatever I do, what qualification do you, Prince Jin, have to interfere? I am the Son of Heaven!"
"Jhin Tang, you despicable beast who disregards human ethics, you are shameless!" Ah Jiu couldn’t help but roar in anger.
"Jhin Mo, how dare you, impudent!" A White Jade Paperweight was thrown towards Prince Jin.
Eunuch Lu was so frightened that he knelt down: "Please calm your anger, Your Majesty."
Ah Jiu neither dodged nor evaded, allowing the White Jade Paperweight to hit him on the forehead. He staggered but steadied himself, glaring at Emperor Yan intently: "How can you do such a thing, how dare you? How can you be worthy of Father Emperor, worthy of the Royal Mother’s support, you..."
Blood flowed from the wound on his forehead down his face, looking extremely terrifying.
"Silence!" Emperor Yan pressed both hands on the Dragon Table, eyes filled with blood, glaring at Ah Jiu coldly: "Don’t think I dare not kill you. For such treasonous words, I can have your head chopped off!"
"Chop it then!" Ah Jiu laughed coldly: "Kill me, and you can do whatever you want even more. But don’t forget, heaven is watching, aren’t you afraid of retribution?"
"Insolent!" Emperor Yan was trembling with rage, yelled: "Guards, Prince Jin’s behavior is outrageous, spewing evil words, offending the sovereign, put him in the Heavenly Prison."
The guards rushed in from outside.
Ah Jiu laughed heartily, and said: "You are not the respected Imperial Brother I looked up to as a father, you’re a devil." He turned away, waving off the guards’ hands: "Let me go, I will walk myself."
He took two steps, stopped again, and said without looking back: "You will regret it!"
Heaven will not forgive him, never!
