Chapter 603: Sensation in the Imperial Capital 4

"You will still have to bite the bullet and get up eventually, so don't bother pretending to faint now."

Concubine Meng's body, which was halfway to the floor, swayed. She struggled to rise with great difficulty, clutching her forehead with one hand, and said weakly to Cui Lü: "Help me get dressed and groomed."

She then instructed Steward Xu: "You go to the front hall and handle things first; don't let him actually tear down the Crown Princes Residence."

When His Highness Prince Jin gets angry, there is truly nothing he wouldn't do.

Seeing that Concubine Meng had agreed, Steward Xu, now having a backbone, steeled himself and went.

Yet as he walked, he grumbled inwardly about the Crown Prince—it was clearly a mess he had caused himself, so why didn't he have the courage to face it?

By the time Steward Xu arrived, the noble and arrogant His Highness Prince Jin was already leisurely sipping tea while seated on a sandalwood chair.

Seeing Steward Xu enter, Nangong Liuyun did not even lift his eyes.

"Greetings to Your Highness Prince Jin." Steward Xu knelt respectfully on both knees.

A simple bow would have sufficed, but seeing His Highness Prince Jin so calm and unfathomable, Steward Xu was truly terrified.

"Call Nangong Liujue out." Nangong Liuyun slowly set his teacup down on the table.

"His Highness the Crown Prince, he… he…" Sweat began to bead on Steward Xu's forehead.

Although His Highness Prince Jin had only asked a simple question, the powerful Aura and innate noble dominance radiating from him made Steward Xu's heart pound uncontrollably.

"Hmm?" Nangong Liuyun's voice was nonchalant.

Yet it gave Steward Xu such a fright that he shuddered violently.

This Aura was simply too powerful; he had never felt this terrified, not even when meeting Your Majesty.

Steward Xu stammered: "His Highness the Crown Prince, he, he, he has gone out to visit a friend."

"Bang!" With a loud crash, the sturdy table was instantly reduced to powder.

Steward Xu's heart gave a violent jolt, and he nearly fainted.

Some of the servants standing by even collapsed on the spot.

Nangong Liuyun's face was dark, and his voice was chilling and blood-curdling: "I already gave him a warning yesterday, and now you tell me he has gone out to visit a friend?"

Steward Xu wanted to say something, but he felt as if his throat were being gripped by two hands, and he couldn't utter a single word.

His body trembled violently.

The other servants, seeing Steward Xu—who was usually arrogant and domineering—so terrified, were all struck dumb with fear, their bodies rigid, not daring to even breathe loudly.

At this moment, Concubine Meng had already walked behind the screen, but was frozen in place by Nangong Liuyun's shout.

"Get out here!" Nangong Liuyun flicked his long sleeves, and a massive gust of wind struck the spot where Concubine Meng was standing.

As the gale subsided, Concubine Meng was already sprawled in a sorry state before Nangong Liuyun.

Seeing Concubine Meng's bruised and swollen face, Su Luo secretly laughed, but feigned reproach toward Nangong Liuyun: "Aren't you being a bit too rough on a lady?"

When Nangong Liuyun, whose face was previously dark with anger, looked down at Su Luo, his expression became tender: "I only treat you with tenderness."

"Ahem, in public, please be a bit more proper." Su Luo gave him a push.

The sudden scene between Nangong Liuyun and Su Luo instantly stunned everyone in the hall!

Just now… were they seeing things? Was that man smiling with such tenderness really the overbearing His Highness Prince Jin from a moment ago?

This is unscientific!

Just as everyone was in disbelief, His Highness Prince Jin instantly reverted back to that aggressive Aura, his cold gaze sweeping across the room as if he could reduce everything to ashes.
