Everyone was imagining a three-year-old boy abandoned on a street corner…
The real crown prince had been eating grapes, and almost choked when he heard this.
She was doing it on purpose!
That girl absolutely said those things on purpose!
That was why she had given him that look just then!
As Jun Linyuan stared at Feng Wu, the others looked at her with different feelings.
The empress dowager immediately broke into tears and went to hold Jun Linyuan’s hand.
“My child, you’ve been through so much…” She sounded heartbroken.
Because Jun Linyuan had never plained, when he showed a little emotion, other people would feel absolutely sorry for him.
What the empress dowager said pretty much confirmed Feng Wu’s earlier words.
Empress Dugu blushed.
The empress dowager’s words made her sound like a horrible stepmother. Although she couldn’t wait to get rid of Jun Linyuan, she would never…
Everyone now looked at her suspiciously.
Emperor Wu felt embarrassed as well. He glared at “Jun Linyuan” and said, “What you said —”
But the empress dowager yelled at him and cut him off. “Be quiet! Are you still going to blame Junjun?!”
Emperor Wu rubbed his nose. “Mother, I’m just…”
The empress dowager was infuriated. “You just what?! You’ve only been listening to your wife ever since you married her, and started ignoring Junjun since the birth of your second son! You’re no different than any other father out there! You’ve been turned into a stepfather by your new wife!
“And you won’t even admit what you’ve done! Instead, you’re trying to blame everything on Junjun! Your Majesty, you’re the role model for all your vassals! You should be a just ruler, not a biased father! Am I right?”
Emperor Wu could only nod. “Yes, of course…”
The empress dowager smirked. “As long as I’m around, some people had better keep their ambitions to themselves! If you keep trying to take things that aren’t supposed to be yours, I’ll cut your fingers off!”
Empress Dugu’s face was scarlet red.
Although the empress dowager didn’t mention any names, everyone here knew whom she was referring to.
Empress Dugu had been scolded by the empress dowager too many times to care, but what intimidated her was that “Jun Linyuan” had changed “his” tactic.
Wasn’t he supposed to be stubborn to a fault?
Since when did he learn to vent his grievances?
If he had learned to do that, the emperor might listen to him. After all, he was a remarkable young man.
At that thought, Empress Dugu looked up at Emperor Wu. She was even more disappointed when she saw the sympathetic look on Emperor Wu’s face.
Mr. and Mrs. Dugu looked at each other, and their faces darkened as well.
If they didn’t do anything, Jun Linyuan would bee their greatest obstacle.
The atmosphere felt a little awkward.
Just then, Chieftain Senal stepped out with a chuckle. “Your Majesty, would you like to enjoy a performance?”
Everyone looked at him.
