However, past impressions were deeply rooted in Qin Jinhao’s heart. He still took this doubt as a coincidence and set it aside for the mont.
Eastern Palace
As dawn barely lightened the sky, continuous sounds of breaking echoed through the magnificent palace.
Soon after, three or four scantily clad won, with heads lowered, rushed out of the hall, as if afraid that a mont’s delay would cost them their lives.
As the last woman stepped out of the palace, a porcelain cup flew from behind her and struck her on the calf.
She cried out in pain and fell to the ground, with blood streaming down her calf. The porcelain cup shattered on the smooth floor.
"Hurry up and help her away!" A eunuch at the door hurriedly commanded other palace maids to drag the injured woman away from the palace entrance.
Then, he beckoned more palace maids and eunuchs to quickly clean up the ss.
Everyone in the Eastern Palace was on edge, fearing that they might be next.
While the Eastern Palace was bustling, the Empress of Qin Country, Lady Han, arrived at the Eastern Palace with her retinue.
As she stepped onto the palace stairs, she saw the disorder that was yet to be cleaned up. She frowned in displeasure, stopped others from following, and entered the palace alone.
"Get out! All of you get out! Whoever dares to co in, I will kill them!"
Just as she stepped inside, a violent shout ca from behind the curtain.
This statent made the Empress even more displeased, and her voice turned colder: "Even ?"
Imdiately, it quieted down behind the curtain. After so rustling, a disheveled Qin Jinxiu erged with a grim expression and said to the Empress, "Mother, why are you here?"
Qin Jinxiu’s hair was disheveled, with stubble on his chin. He reeked of alcohol and decadence.
The Empress’s brows gradually knit together, and she reprimanded, "Look at you! Do you still have the appearance of a Crown Prince?"
Qin Jinxiu was speechless under her reprimand. However, the storm of agitation in his eyes showed no signs of calming, rely held back with effort.
In public, he was the benevolent and humble Crown Prince. But in private... who knew that his real self was erratic and violent?
All along, he had followed his mother’s instruction to be a perfect Crown Prince.
However, this ti, he couldn’t let go of his anger.
Qin Jinxiu remained silent, and the Empress’s tense and cold expression gradually softened. She asked gently with indulgence, "Who made you so angry this ti?"
Qin Jinxiu’s handso features twisted imdiately, and his aura shifted from the gentle warmth shown in public to sothing sinister and terrifying.
"Mu Qingge!" he spat out a na through gritted teeth.
"Is it him?" The Empress frowned and said.
Qin Jinxiu’s eyes narrowed coldly, exuding a dangerous aura.
Mu Qingge, this worthless fool, not only defeated his man in front of so many people but also forced Cao Gui to apologize to a worthless person publicly. Afterwards, he disrupted his plans, not only threatening him but also taking away the advantage that was within reach.
How could he swallow such humiliation?
"Mother, I want him dead!" Qin Jinxiu, like a willful child, expressed his demand.
The Empress looked at him helplessly and slowly shook her head, "As long as Mu Xiong is around, even your father cannot easily move against Mu Qingge."
This answer made Qin Jinxiu’s aura even colder, even tinged with cruelty. "Then let Mu Xiong die first! Without his protection, I want to see who can save him. Once I’ve tortured him enough, I’ll personally send him on his way."
